X-Men The Return of Nightcrawler

Mutant Ball

Amanda    

She watched as Kurt made a call once they got off the Subway. Wearing a baseball cap and a giant oversized coat Kurt managed to hide. This was the way he used to move around, before he got that Holo Device, She thought watching Kurt move around.

   "Thanks, we'll be waiting," Kurt finished his call. "Our ride will be here soon," Kurt informed. She could not see his face but Kurt sounded relieved.

As they waited did a voice comment, "Over here, Elf." Looking up to see the muscular man. "Thanks Logan," Kurt greeted.

    "We were already expecting you, Amy saw that you guys were coming," Logan replied gruffly as he led them to a black jeep. "Amy ? Is her powers still getting stronger ?" Kurt sounded intrigued. "Yeah, thankfully she's stopped blacking out on us," Logan replied gruffly.

      "Does that mean Gambit is still there ?" Who was Gambit and Amy ? She thought as she listened to the two talk. It seemed the Professor had left to help other mutants out so that left Amy in charge, as Logan explained what Kurt had been missing out.

   "Kurt, why were you even in Texas ?" She asked. "Helping mutants along the way, people are getting more and more anti-mutant," Kurt replied as he unzipped his coat off with a sigh. "Never change these tinted windows, Wolverine. I thought I was going to be baked after wearing this.

   Wolverine didn't reply out loud but kept driving until they pooled out in front of the mansion's  gates. The mansion was huge, she had noticed as the jeep pulled up once it drove past the gates. Getting out she noticed the mansion's doors opened by themselves.

   "Come on, Amanda," Kurt led the way through the giant mansion that served as a school. "Hey Kurt, welcome back," A tall Asian girl with several metal rings. "Hi  jubilee," Kurt greeted back. The girl's finger's twitched as a small flicker of electricity came out.

"Who's the human ?" Jubilee questioned. "A old friend, Amanda's home was set on fire because she was hiding me," Kurt explained. "Oh, glad you two are okay," Jubilee replied looking relaxed.

   "Kurt, Amanda. Have you two forgotten ?" A female voice said in her head. "We are coming," Kurt replied like this was common.

   "Nightcrawler, glad your back," A smooth southern  accented voice purred like dark velvet. Red irises surrounded by black seemed to look deep into her soul. "Remy," A female voice prompted. "Yes, Cherie," The man drawled before slinking away.

As the man left a young woman around her age appeared.  Long dark hair with blond highlights she noticed before the woman hugged Kurt. "Thanks Amy," Kurt hugged back. Amy backed away to smile at her.

    Dark brown eyes watched her intently. Amy dressed in a turquoise silk top, paired with jeans and simple shoes. "Hello Amanda, I've been expecting you and the Elf. There's a room for you next to him," Amy explained.

Shades of cream, white and a deep royal blue greeted her. Exhausted she crawled onto the large bed and fell asleep.

    Time to wake up, The sound of Amy's telepathic voice woke her up from her deep sleep. Yawning she stretches before crawling out of her massive bed did she find clothes carefully folded waiting for her on a chair.

Breakfast treated her to more mutants then she could have imagined. Kurt easily popped around and reappeared on a hanging chandelier. "Elf !" Logan snapped gruffly. "Just ask for it to be passed," He sighed.

This happens regularly, Amy's voice sighed in her head. Surprised she set down her fork to watch the telepath move the plate of sausages to Kurt, only using her mind. "Thanks !" Kurt managed to say with a mouth full of sausage.

   More mutants she had never met talked to each other, one boy once knocked over by accident multiplied. One with a slice of apple in his mouth sitting on the floor, another sprawled on his back while the third busily rubbed his head. "That happens a lot to Jamie," The asian oriental mutant explained while casually eating with the rest of her age group.

She watched as one of the student's, a girl of Native American descent shifted into a cheetah as she ran to the next base. "Mutant Ball !" Someone yelled as Kitty Pride/Shadow Cat faced through a student too busy trying to catch the ball.

  She had forgotten how fun watching them play this game. For a second she envied them, they had such amazing gifts. "One day the whole world will be full of Mutants," Amy's voice said out loud.

Startled she looked up to see Amy sitting next to her, sipping from a bottle. "It's a evolutionary thing," Amy explained. Did Amy feel what she had just felt for that few seconds ? Another thought came, eventually a descendant of her's would be a mutant. 

"Chere ! Your turn to pitch !" A Southern accented voice called. The red eyed mutant, Gambit. "Coming !" Amy answered as she ran onto the field. 

Amy had the ball move around before sending it at the batter.  Wham !  The ball streaked across the field. Dropping the bat the student ran before leaping into the air. Kurt saw the oncoming student and poofed away to safety. And for good reason, the base was reduced to a small crater.

  "That was close," Kurt commented as he reappeared right next to her before helping himself to a water bottle. Looking onward Kitty moved to the next base without getting caught.  "Way to go Cannonball !" Amy commented from her spot.

A few days later

Life in the 'Mutant Mansion', as Kitty had dubbed it was amazing. Time went by like a blur and she even took over Art Class for Amy.

Dyani/She Wolf liked nature scenes as she normally pained Oil paintings involving deer, bison and wolves. Sweet Sam, Cannonball loved to use charcoal.

    Even the younger students enjoyed Art Class. Bianca, a little girl who had a Sonic Screech ability said it was her favorite class. Especially after having Wolverine's class. Wolverine's class was Gym but when he wasn't around the smooth talking Gambit was.

  And speaking of Gambit he taught Cajun French.

"Enjoying class ?" Amy asked while they had lunch. "Yeah, I am," She answered. As they chatted about class, Amy had History. Scott had the dreaded Math. Kitty taught Yoga and Storm taught English, however since she was not here it was Rogue who taught it.

   "Where is Storm anyway ?" She asked after she finished taking a bite of cherry tomato from her salad. "With Chuck," Wolverine answered. "He means the Professor," Amy whispered after seeing her confused expression. 

"They are traveling the world, helping mutants," Amy explained. She didn't have to, after having her apartment mobbed and burned down she could see that the mansion was a safe haven for those who were genetically advanced.
