While dram guided you thru special and painful training, a conversation was taking place in a different part of the mansion...
"So you want me to meet your friend tomorrow? What's the point we'll most likely hardly talk anyways", a moody girl told kitty. "But rogue, Brevins cool. You'll love him I promise", kitty said back. "Ya know", Rogue said suspiciously. "You've been a lot more happy, jumpy, and giddy since he came here", rogue finished. "Don't know what ya mean", kitty told her smiling. "That's what I mean, right there that smile of yours. I've never seen you smile like that before", rogue said. Kitty sighed; she obviously had quite a bit of explaining to do.
"Rogue, if you had someone who meant to you what Brevin means to me, you'd get it", kitty said. "So what, did you sleep with him?", rogue asked. Kitty turned a deep shade of red, while rogue turned green as if she was gonna be sick. "Oh my god you did? Kitty, why?", rogue asked. Kitty started crying, "Neither of us meant it. I swear it was an accident, we were in middle school, he was at my house. I had just got back from dental surgery, to remove my braces and I was on painkillers -","woah kitty I didn't need to hear it no offense", rogue cut her off. "None taken", kitty said. "Any other stuff between you two like, a friendship origin story?", rogue asked. "Yeah, where to start?", kitty asked herself out loud.
"Growing up, Brevin didn't really make friends. He wasn't good at it, really. He was quiet, spent almost all his time at home. He was always into games, ironically since he couldn't make friends. He spent lots of time with his instruments too. Brevin didn't have friends, people saw him as an easy target to bully. But he'd just sit there and take it, because he never spoke in school before. The teachers never knew what to do, he never went to get help to stop it", kitty held back tears as rogue asked her a question. "Where are you in this story?", rogue asked. "I'm getting to it", kitty said.
"I was socially awkward too, but I had some friends. But I was also bullied, my social circle was...colorful. At first I never noticed, but Brevin had been watching me. He had been working up the courage to make friends, but he didn't like the way I was bullied. One day after I got a black-eye, the boy who hit me was found in an alley. He was black and blue, and scared all over. The kid who attacked him covered well, but I found out it was Brevin. He showed me proof, after that we helped each other and started hanging out", kitty finished.
"Did you guys ever date?", rogue asked. "We thought of it, but we never got around to try", kitty said. "Why not?", rogue asked. "During the time we were considering it, that was when I found my powers", kitty said sadly. "So you left him and came here?", rogue asked as kitty nodded. "You know what? I'll meet him", rogue said as kitty smiled.
Meanwhile back with you*
"No, the dragon breath is a balance of force and focus. Not brute-up force", dram said angrily. You continued to try and concentrate as you practiced through the night.
You wake up, and get around for your first day of school. You put on, blue jeans, a Metallica T-shirt, and a blue hoodie. You hear knocking at your door, you go and answer it not sure who it is. You see jean standing here, and she has a dark haired male standing with her. "Morning Brevin. Did ya sleep well? This is Kurt, he's going to be your roommate", she said as Kurt entered and made himself comfy.
"Classes start in 2 hours, on Saturdays. Your first class is, a powered combat training class outside. Logan's going to teach you", jean said smiling nervously. 'Hmm so I'm learning from the grumpy one?', you thought. "Yep", jean said out loud, you forgot she could read minds. "So about last night...", jean said. You told her about your dream, as well as about meeting your dark half. "Dram, huh? Strange name, anyways I want to try something", jean said. "What?", you asked her as she put her hands on her head. "I'm going to open the remaining doors. Once I do, you and Dram can communicate at any time", jean said as you black out again.
After another thirty minutes, you once again have regained your senses. 'It'll be good to experience like this', dram said from inside your now shared head. "Why not get to know Kurt?", jean suggested as she walked out. You and Kurt talk to each other for a while. Kurt is fascinated that you and kitty have a history, and that you have two personalities now able to communicate with each other. You then tell Kurt about your mutant powers, and you learn Kurt can teleport and has enhanced reflexes.
You strum a few cords on your electric guitar, thinking of Elton john's version of 'pinball wizard.' Kurt asks you to teach him to play guitar, you offered to do it later tonight which he accepted. You asked him if he knew where Kitty's room was, then you two went through the halls as Kurt guided you there. "Remember kitty doesn't know about dram, so don't mention him in any way", you warned as Kurt nodded.
Kurt knocked on her door, and called her name. Kitty called back saying, she and Rogue were getting dressed. "Who's Rogue?", you asked Kurt. Kurt replied saying, that Rogue was Kitty's roommate. "Okay Kurt, were clothed now. So what do want?", asked a voice as the door opened. The door revealed, a still sleepy looking girl with white streaks in her hair. She looked like she was wearing a second skin of make-up, and spoke with a southern accent. She looked surprised when she saw you, then she switched to a questioning frown.
"You are...", she asked. "Kitty's friend, I'm Brevin. I'm assuming your Rogue", you reply politely. A look of realization comes onto rogues face, just as Kitty phases through her to find you there. "Hey Brevin, you ready for your first day?", Kitty asked. "I guess, I start with a power combat class with, Mr. Logan", you said as kitty smiled." That's where rogue and i are going too, this is so cool", she said. "I have an agility training class", Kurt said sad that he could not see his new roomy in action. "We should get going", rogue said as she led the way outside.
"Alright everyone, today is a tag team combat practice choose your partners", Logan shouts as kitty and rogue immediately team up. Everyone is in pairs until you and one other person are left. "Drake! You're working with the new kid, get ready. I'm going to partake too, I'm working with Scott", Logan said. "Hey, I'm bobby drake. But they call me iceman", the student says. "I'm Brevin Taylor, but you can call me fireball", you reply.
Everyone gets ready to combat as Cyclops arrives. The teams clash and move on, you and bobby move through quickly with your combination. In the end only, four teams were left as you beat your last team. The other two teams take a while, but a winner is eventually decided. You and the other team were doomed to compete for today's top. Sadly, kitty and rogue lost earlier so they can't fight.
