Hello again to all my friends. I don't own X-men, but regardless the original characters that I'll be using in here do belong to me.

To Firewhisperer: Yeah and just imagine how Prism and Chameleon get along. :p Naomi's hair is something like a pixie cut, but probably a little longer in the back, I mean she cut it herself after all.

Chapter 11

Naomi opened the door to one of the room, there were already a handful of other students sitting at tables talking about their winter breaks and the presents they got for Christmas. Naomi immediately looked for a shadowy corner to sit it. It made her feel more comfortable. The table she sat at had two other girls already sitting at it. She forced a smile as she sat down next to them. They looked at her for a moment and smiled back before returning to their conversation.

A few minutes later an young man walked into the room. He had white feathery wings. They were in a harness of some kind to keep them folded neatly against his back, he took one of the closer seats. The girls next to her giggled. Naomi looked over at them, they were looking at him and whispering to each other. The wings shifted slightly in their harness then he opened a book and began to ignore the giggles.

More people began to file in, Hart among them. He smiled and nodded at Naomi, she waved slightly. He came over and sat in the chair in front of her, "Fancy meeting you here."

"Its a class," Naomi stated.

The girls next to her laughed, one leaned over, "He's trying to be funny." She leaned on her hands, "Seems a little lost on you though, when's the last time you got out?"

Naomi looked down at her hands, "Too long." She noticed the slight movements of her shadow and took a deep breath. "So," she looked back up at the girl, "What's your name?"

The girl looked her over again before replying. "Ivy." She motioned to her companion, "This is Siren."

"Ivy's a plant freak, and Siren can do something with her singing." Hart added, the girls both huffed and went back to their own conversation. "Don't worry, some of them take a while to decide to be nice."

An adult walked into the room. He put a stack of books on the table and began to talk about Chaucer. Naomi had no idea who it was they were talking about. The occasional other student would give comments Naomi put her head down on her hands and listened. She caught on that this person was a writer, and he was dead. As to the stories he wrote, she was lost. She'd have to ask someone, probably Hart exactly where she could get a copy of this book so she could have at least some idea.

"Pathetic of you." Naomi's head shot up and she looked around for a moment, "Honestly this again?"

Naomi out a hand against her forehead, "Leave me alone Emily."

"What was that?" The teacher asked looking over at her.

She flushed, "Nothing, its just... Emily." She scratched the back of her head and tugged on a few strands of hair.

A few of the kids laughed, "I see, what does she have to say?"

"Well, the Canterbury Tales are all by different people in their journey, each of them a different author, so a different voice. That is a great skill on Chaucer's part to master all the different voices." Naomi sighed and relayed the message.

The teacher nodded thoughtfully then continued. Naomi sighed and lowered herself back to the table top. "Don't do that again." she begged.

There were another two classes she went to and then there was lunch. She went into the kitchen and found herself alone. She went to the fridge, there was a jar of jam, so she assumed there was peanut butter somewhere. After locating the bread and the other item to smear on the bread she made herself a sandwich.

"That's a boring lunch." Rune walked in from outside, black smudges across his face and arms. He pulled out a bag of Oreos and opened it up.

"Peanut butter and jelly is a classic." Naomi retorted. She cut it in half and took a bite out of one half. The other floated up off the plate, she blinked watching it.

Rune plucked it out of the air and took a bite. "Hmmm, raspberry." She frowned slightly, "How was class?"

She shrugged, "I had no idea what they were talking about most of the time and Emily kept bugging me." She took another bite of the sandwich. "You've got something black on your face."

"Huh?" He wiped his arm across his face smearing it further. "Oh, I was messing around with the bike in the garage." He ate more of the sandwich and held it in his teeth. He went to the sink and washed his arms, hands and face before eating the rest of the sandwich. "What you up to next?"

"I'm meeting up with someone named Nightcrawler. Storm said he could help me control my power some." she sat on the counter and took another bite of sandwich. "What's he do?"

"Teleporter." Rune said jumping up to sit next to her. Naomi slid to the side slightly. "Maybe something to do with that shadow jumping you did yesterday." The fridge popped open and a soda floated out of the side of the door. "Mind grabbing that for me? I'll get you one too if you want." Naomi plucked it out of the air and handed it to him.

"Can't you bring it to you?"

"No, I can't add momentum to things, only decrease the gravity on them." He flicked the can away from himself and kept it floating. "In order for it to be in motion a different force has to be added to it." It slowed to a stop over the island. "Or decrease the presser in it." The can began to tremble then exploded. The liquid kept floating in the air while the can blasted down from the momentum. "And that's gonna be a mess." Naomi jumped down and touched one of the bubbles of liquid then slurped it into her mouth. She then turned to Rune.

"You get the rest." She vanished out the door and headed to the front door where she was suppose to meet Nightcrawler.
