Second chapter to the Electric Reign story...the other Evo story.... The New Guy (or Girl) She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat when something else he had said caught her attention. "I have two? What’s the other ‘gift’"She ended with a touch of sarcasm. "You have a weak form of telekinesis, which enables you to form and use your electricity. Without it your powers would be limited to touch only." Crista nodded slowly, "Very well then, I will try this... ‘school’ and see how it pans out." Xavier smiled at her in a fatherly manner, "Good, I think you’ll like it there." ~~~~~********~~~~~~~~ Hank opened the door and set the suitcases just inside. Crista looked at the large room in awe, than, remembering that she was in the presence of someone, she blushed and turned back to Hank. "You mean this is mine?" The furry scientist laughed, "Yes, this is your room. The others will be back soon and than you can be properly introduced." She extended her gloved hand to Hank, who shook it and left. Crista looked around the room again "Hmm, it needs something..." Concentrating, she moved her fingers ever so slightly. Opening one eye she witnessed nothing happening. "Dammit....come on....I know it’s in there..." She tried again, this time picturing in her mind what she wanted to happen, slowly, than with a bit more force, the lights in the room began to flicker on and off like a strobe light. Another well pointed finger and visual imagery and her unplugged stereo that still sat by the door started to play. Finally starting to loosen up, she wasn’t paying attention to her little bedroom club when a scream drew her attention to the hallway. Looking out the door she saw the hall lights flickering in synch with the ones in her room. With a bit of difficulty she was able to make them and her stereo stop. She looked at the two girls (Kitty and Boom-Boom) sheepishly. "Uh hehehe....opps?" Logan came running into the hallway, claws ready; eyes blazing. "What tha heck is goin’ on out here?" He shouted. Crista stared at his claws wide- eyed, the lights glowing brighter as her fear intensified. "Well, someone gonna answer me?" He growled, not taking his eye’s off of Crista. Jean and Scott ran up the stairs leading into the hallway. "Logan! Stand down, she’s new to the mansion." Scott yelled, stopping a few feet from the canuck. "Oh," He stood from his crouch, retracting his claws and shrugging. "Sorry ‘bout that." Crista was still staring at him, trying to calm her nerves. "Easy does it. Calm down, he’s not going to hurt you." Scott soothed. Jean glanced between Crista and the dimming lights. After drawing in a deep breath the lights returned to normal. She started to apologize for being so jumpy when Nightcrawler bamphed in front of her. Giving a short cry of surprise Crista jumped back and away from a small table just as the Tiffany lamp it was holding exploded. "Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you." The blue elf apologized. Crista looked at the shards of glass and cloth on the floor. "Look at me," She looked at the others, "What kind of mutant can’t control their own powers?" "Hey, hey don’t be so hard on yourself. After all, that’s the whole point of Xaviers School For Gifted Youngsters. We’re all here because we can’t control our powers. We’re here to learn how to control our gifts as we evolve." Jean said, moving toward her. "Ja, but trust me, eet’s hard work." Nightcrawler said, giving Logan a pointed look. Crista hugged herself for a moment, than Nightcrawler came over, hand extended. "Hi, my name ees Kurt also known as Nightcrawler, that ees Kitty, also known as Shadowcat , Jean, Scott, also known as Cyclops and that’s Logan, or Wolverine, and Tabitha, also known as Boom-Boom." Crista looked at them in curiosity, "Why do you have those weird names?" "They go with our mutant abilities." Boom-Boom told her. Crista nodded in understanding. "Than I should try to think of one for me, right?" Kurt smiled enthusiastically, "Ja, I’ll help you think of one on da tour." "Tour, what To-" The rest of her question was cut short as Kurt grabbed her hand and bamphed the two of them out. Somewhere in the mansion there was another shattering sound, undoubtably Cristas’ power catching up with her shock. Logan shook his head, "It’s always the new guy." ~~~~~~ So...R&R.....it's also going to be updated more frequently at ff.net for those of you who are eager to see more. Lady Venom |
