[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Desiree sat in the garage with her math book in her left hand . She was supposed to be cleaning some of the cars today but was easily doing her homework. She wished she was out of punishment, luckily there was only one more week of doing all the extra chores around the house.
The sixteen-year-old turned suddenly hearing footsteps and saw Nira. “Hey” She says sitting next to her friend. “How is everything?”
“Eh...its ok…jus’ don’ feel lahke washin da cars…”
“I could take care of it for you” She says with a grin.
“Don’ wan’ y’ t’…” Desiree says unaware of what exactly the girls mutant gifts were.
“It’ll be my pleasure D.” Nira stood up and suddenly a handful of water appeared in her hands. It grew until it was the size of a basketball and then she tossed it up. “How clean?”
“Realleh clean..” Nira pours the car wash cleaner into the water and swishes it around some before tossing it onto the car in front of her. Desiree raised her eyebrows and a smile formed on her face.
“Have y’ eva accidentally soaked someone”
“Nope…. Why?”
“M’sieur Summers…”
“He’s the really uptight one right...Jades dad?”
“Yeah….he should beh comin out ‘ere in about fahve minutes…could y’ maybeh drown him” Nira laughed at this and Desiree was grinning from ear to ear.
“You done yet Desiree?” Scott asked coming in while they were still laughing.
“Oui M’sieur” She says with a grin.
“Good…its Thursday you have to help with Dinner” Desiree let out a groan and slammed her book against her forehead. He turned to leave and was hit with a wave of water. Desiree looked up and her eyes went wide. Scott was standing right in front of her. “Which one of you did that?”
“Umm...Uncle Scotty…weh don’ gotta nuttin dat would soak y’….da bucket wouldn’ make it dat far an’ da hose ain’t on” He turns around and another splash hits him.
“Desiree!”
“It wasn’ meh!” She exclaims. “Why y’ always blamin’ meh huh? Ah don’ got nuttin t’ soak y’ wit!” Scott glanced at Nira, who still hadn’t told anyone the full extent of her powers. They knew she could control water, but not create.
“It was you”
“Me?” Nira asked and looked around. “I guess you’ll never know”
“What happen ‘ere?” Remy asks walking into the garage.
“Your daughter is conspiring against me” Scott mumbles and walks off.
“Why is it always meh fault?” Desiree questions with a sigh. “Ah get blamed f’r everyt’ing even when ah ain’t involved”
“ You were kinda involved in this”
“Only a little” Nira and her high-five eachother while Remy stood there in front of them.
“What kinda trouble are y’ two startin’?”
“None Papa” He looks at her and she smiles innocently. “What are weh cookin’ f’r dinna tonight an’ can ah put poison on one of da plates?” Desiree questions starting to walk out of the room.
“Petite!” Remy exclaims.
“That has got to be the coolest kid in this school!” Nira says and follows after Desiree. Remy let out a sigh and followed them.
“Look Isaac….”
“Izzy”
“Isaac”
220;Oh bloody hell just call me Izzy!”
“Look kid that ain’t yer real name so I ain’t callin ya that” Logan growls. “Now Show me how you use your powers” In an instant his hands changed to flames. “Whats the weakness”
“Can’t get wet..”
“Whats the effect if they do?”
“I get burned mate”
“That’s it?”
“Aye..and it bloody hurts”
“ok…what are your fighting skills?”
“Don’t really have any”
“Your kidding”
“Naye”
“Your telling me Pyro never taught you anything”
“He taught me how to control my power, Pa’ was good for that”
Logan fell silent for a few minutes and Izzy easily got distracted by the way the Danger room looked. ‘Has a short attention span…’ Logan thinks and goes to attack. Izzy catches the movement and sidesteps.
“What the bloody hell are you doing?” Izzy asks “Ya tryin’ to catch me off guard old man?” he asks with a grin
John, Scott, and Ororo were up in the control center watching the actions that were taking place. “Where’d he actually learn to fight”
“School. He got kicked outa about five or six in the past few years.” John said.
“What else should we know about him?” Ororo questions.
“School might wanna tell ya he has A.D.D but he doesn’t. He just may already know what they’re talking about or care less. At home he’d sit there at the table doin his homework and be done in a flash, I’d check and they were right”
“He’s a smart kid, figures things out easily. Logan attacked him when he was looking around the room and he avoided the attack”
“Happened before, was hit though, he doesn’t make a mistake twice you’ll learn that mate”
“Anything else?”
“Aye…his mum…it’s a sore subject with him, he’s getting’ better at it but it still hurts for him to talk about her at times. He blames himself for her dyin’”
“Why would he do that?” Ororo asked
“She passed givin’ birth to him”
“He’s a spitting image of you though”
“Aye…but his mums heart, he ain’t done nuttin that would cause harm for no reason. Each time he’s used his powers its been because he was threaten”
“You tell him about your past?”
“Aye before he came here mate…didn’t want none of ya telling’ him nothin an’ him getting mad at me”
“Look Isaac stop avoiding and fight back kid”
“Why?”
“Because that’s the whole point of this, to see yer skills”
“But I don’t wanna fight right now mate…to early and not in the mood” Logan brought out his adamantium claws. “ Now that’s not very nice...ya know I don’t like dim”
“Well get used to..” Logan’s hair was suddenly on fire and Izzy was heard cackling before he started running around the room trying to get away from the Wolverine.
Izzy sniffed the air smelling the scent of singed hair. His grin was even wider and his blue eyes seemed to be dancing with happiness. Logan on the other side was getting more and more frustrated with this boy. “We done yet mate…ya need to go wash yer hair...maybe Stormy can give ya a bath” He smirks and Logan glares at the young man.
“Watch what you say kid”
“Slice and Dice? Is that what ya plan on doing to me?” Izzy asks leaning against the wall. Logan went after him and Izzy pressed a button and the door slid open. Izzy took off running out of it, Logan close behind him. Suddenly Izy slid to a stop coming face to face with Ororo, Scott and his father.
“G’day?”
“The Danger room is not a game” Scott said “You go in there to learn to control your powers and…”
“Aye I know I know…Don’t like the stupid place, and why the bloody hell did ya stick me with Doll’s Godfather...he don’t like me to begin with”
“Ain’t that the truth, One-Eye can train you for now on”
“Oh and that’s any better” Izzy said rolling his eyes.
“Isaac”
“Aye Pa’?”
“Ya know ya’r gonna have to cooperate sooner or later”
“Aye..later is better though”
