Fee rushed to help Gwen, supporting her with one arm. She herself had some burns on her arms and shoulder from the sparks and a nasty cut on her cheek. Her clothes were somewhat ripped and she was exhausted.
Gweniver still couldn't get her memory working and everything looked so blurry, she felt a sharp pain in her side when she tried to stand up, but then felt Felicity supporting her "did we do okay?" Fee asked smiling to Cyclops. |
Nathaniel looked towards the girl as she entered the room, that emotionless look on his face still remaining.His eyes faded back to their odd blue and brown coloring and he pushed himself past the girl and Gabriel, he sat in the empty hall leaning up against a wall, attempting to hide the gash on his arm as he closed his eyes and listened to his music, which just happened to be playing his favorite song, "Hand of Sorrow" by Within Temptation. he yanked another chunk of glass out of his arm using is powers and he sighed, tears welling up in his eyes a bit.
"N-Nathaniel!Don't leave, you're still hurt!" Clyde said, trying to stop Nathaniel from leaving but failing horribly.He sighed and looked over his body to make sure he wasn't horribly hurt other than his badly sprained ankle, then he noticed the new girl "Oh, hey!Sorry if you were hoping to show the teachers your powers, we're having a few technical difficulties." Clyde laughed a bit and grinned at the new girl. Gabriel stumbled a bit into a wall as Nathaniel pushed him aside, he looked to Nathaniel as he left and then back at the other students and Cyclops."What's his problem?He was still hurt.." |
"Clyde where's he going, whys he leaving?"Fee asked confused. "he's hurt and, and, he just can't leave!" then she noticed the other two "I don't believe we've met, my names Felicity" she grinned, but her cheek stung a bit but she didn't care. she looked at the new people, well new to her at least, the girl had some sort of blueish skin, and the guy was very tall and blond. She was still supporting Gwen, who was still being a bit weird.
|
She stood there, looking a bit scared as the others approached her. She was not expecting to be pushed aside though and when she was she fell flat on the ground, but sat up rather quickly with what one could only assume would be an angry face, but it looked more like a pouting face really.
"Meanie" She said harshly in her low whisper-like voice before she moved to stand up and looked at the person who had pushed her once more. She saw that he was hurt, but other than that he had no reason to be so mean to her. What in the world did she ever do to him? She wanted to get back at him, but she didn't know how; she noticed his music player and thought for a second before turning to the older people with a soft shy smile. "I do apologize in advance for any problems I may cause; oh and hello Felicity nice to meet you." She then turned and walked down the hall after the person who had pushed her. It was odd how her black flats didn't seem to make a sound against the tile flooring of the mansion. When at last she managed to catch up to this 'Nathaniel' She then reached up quickly and ripped the musical device off of his ears, but made sure not to break or bend them. "Say sorry you big meanie! Being hurt is no excuse for being mean." She was being as stern as possible, but since her voice was so soft she just really ended up making a fool of herself. ((Such a laughable character at times.)) |
"I didn't push you that hard.All I did was bump you with my shoulder.." He said, his lips not moving as he leaned against the wall, looking at his bleeding arms."I am sorry, though.I didn't know you would fall over.."
Clyde shrugged "He's weird like this sometimes..whenever he gets hurt or anything he runs away and doesn't let anyone see his wounds.." Gabriel chuckled and stood back up "He's sort of odd..he has no emotions at all, it seems..He must have a very tortured soul.." |
She was honestly not expecting him to just agree with her, she had been prepared for an argument and when he just agreed with her she got a little confused. She kind of felt bad now, but what could she do? Then the others spoke and and turned slightly to face them.
"Oh...um...oh ya.." She got all quiet and then turned back to Nathaniel and handed him his headphones again. "Here I can help." She said as she looked at his wound there was still some glass in it and when she touched Nathaniel to pull it out her hands were slightly cold to the touch which numbed the blood and calmed the bleeding, but at the same time the wound started to heal, but she quickly lost focus and though the wound was much smaller and no longer bleeding, it was not fully healed. She then got a disappointed look on her face as she sighed. "Sorry I tried.." She said even softer than usual before she let go and looked at the others. She was still really new at this whole having powers thing and it showed, she had a lack of focus for sure, but she didn't know how to fix it. "I recently resided at the hospital I was there for about 3 years unconscious. They said there were a lot of medical things wrong with me that couldn't ever be fixed...but one of the nurses told me to come here rather than give up hope." She spoke rather well for someone who had such a soft voice, she tired hard to make herself be heard but sometimes talking loud enough was really hard for her; now would be one of those times. |
Nathaniel's odd brown and blue eys looked straight at the girl and his lips showed a very subtle smile "It's alright..You..You have healing powers, then?Your skin is very cold..Do you have ice powers as well?They must be much better than mine..Mine which my brother and I shared.." He sighed "The same that made my mother drill a hole through her skull and made my father turn my brother into just a puppet that causes illusions..My father hated me and my brother's powers..He thought if he sent him here, they would fix him.As in get rid of his powers, just like they were a disease.."
|
Fee gasped when she heard this, but she decided pity wasn't the best method for someone like nathaniel "Nathaniel, your at the Xavier institute now, here you let go of the ghosts of your pas, this school is your family. I think it would be best for you to do just that, stay here and heal your wounds on your soul, not just the ones on your skin"
|
Echo stood there and listened to the story, some strands of her raven colored hair becoming stray across her pale face.
"Thats not right...I mean I lost my parents in the accident that put me in the hospital, but to have a family who doesn't want you is worse than not having one at all." She said once again in her soft tone of voice before she remembered what else Nathaniel had addressed he had asked about her powers, she really wasn't sure the extent of them, but she hoped she could find out by being here. "Oh sorry...I forget sometimes...about the whole being cold thing...my healing is kind of complicated...its not really healing but the body will accept is as such with enough focus...sadly right now I can't hold that focus for long, the healing is actually just a branch of the ice powers that I have." She then heard the voice of the other female and turned, oh what was her name again...Felicity right? She thought so, she was bad with names, which would make things here harder. She was happy that she could help, but at the same time the look of depression filled her face because she was not able to help as much as she would have liked to. She ran a finger through her hair and chilled it slightly to make sure it went back into place before she turned back to Nathaniel. "I'm sure whatever power you have it's a vital part of who you are no matter what other people may say." She really wasn't that good at cheering people up but she was attempting to at least try, thats all she could ever do was try, she never really succeeded at anything since she had woken up. |
Nathaniel sighed and lifted up his long hair, revealing a circular burn scar on he back of his neck "Of course, I had more violent, offensive powers than my brother, so I nearly got turned into his killing machine, until I ran away when I discovered what he had done to my brother..When they both died, I discovered a way to use my own powers to wipe everything from my memory, except for the memory of my family..That I could never forget."
|
"But your memories are what you are, forgetting is just the easy option, but getting over and accepting i what truly makes you stronger, confront and accept" she had tears in her eyes, thinking of her won past and what this boy had been through. Of coarse Nathaniels past was worse, but he had to know that it is always better to confront and accept what you are
|
She really didn't know what to say at this point, everything she could possibly think of saying seemed unimportant right now. She sighed and flopped down onto the floor, well she would have landed on the floor except for the fact that she was...floating? She looked like she was floating while just sitting in the air. She herself had actually zoned out to focus more on her powers. Nothing else she could so so she just gave Nathaniel his room as she hovered to the opposite wall, her eyes closed as she did so to prevent distractions.
"Oh I'm Echo by the way..." No sooner than the words have come out of her mouth did she fall flat to the ground with a high pitched mouse-like squeak before she pouted and rubbed her tail bone. "Stupid focus...stupid tail bone" she mumbled as she slowly rose to her feet and rubbed her tail bone again. |
"I can still hear my brother's screams..I can still remember how he looked after my father tortured him..I still remember that hateful look in my father's eyes the last time he saw me..I remember everything I need to remember, nothing more, nothing less.." Nathaniel said, letting his hair fall back and sighing.
|
She felt his sadness, it was weird but she did that sometimes, feel other peoples heavy emotions, more tears sprang into her eyes and in a moment of his overwhelming emotion, she hugged him. "It's okay to be scared and want to run away" she said softly as she let her tears run free
|
"Please don't hug me.." Nathaniel said, oddly looking at Fee.
|
"I.. I'm sorry" Fee said turning back to her normal slef, she hated those waves of emotion "please stay at the school" she asked
|
"I wasn't planning on leaving..I have nowhere else to go.." Nathaniel said, sighing."Since I have no family, at least none that I know of.."
|
As Echo stood on the opposite wall now she couldn't help but giggle a little, it was obvious that Nathaniel had people issues just like she did; in fact if he hadn't knocked her over on accident she would have probably never said a word until now. Her fear of people was vast, but she did her best to try and get over it, sometimes it works, sometimes it failed...right now it was failing. She wasn't sure if this place was going to be able to help her with anything, maybe this was a bad idea after all. She was still really thinking about it, would she even have the courage to be able to use her powers in a fight like the other students obviously could? She was depressed right now and try as she might to hide it she really failed, her expressions were always rather strange, she had a hard time expressing them properly because no one could tell with her voice, everything was soft and sounded the same.

"We will be your family, all the mutants in this school,
we're all family" she thought about Leona saying the same thing about Gwen. Gwen who was still in this weird state, where she was awake, but also not. "I better take Gweniver to the med-lab, I think she's unconscious, but I'm not sure" she said as she went back to supporting Gwen |
Nathaniel looked towards Echo "I won't bite you if you come near me, you don't have to stand over there.."
|
Echo had been watching Felicity wander off until Nathaniel spoke to her and her white eyes looked at him, she still felt bad for him and probably would for a while, but she really had no reason to get as emotional as Felicity on the issue, crying over other peoples problems didn't ever tend to help people in the long run of things.
"I'm just....a distance person...people scare me." She said even softer than normal before she walked back over to the same side of the hall that Nathaniel was on, but she still kept a fair distance. All the previous talk had been more of an angry spur of things. This was her normal self, super shy and quiet, physically and emotionally distant. |
"Well you don't have to be scared of me, I'm not as bad as you might think." Nathaniel said, a bit more of a smile showing.
(dangit.Twitchy finger hit the button before it was supposed to.:P) |
She looked at him and smiled a bit, maybe this school wasn't so bad, but she was sure that there were a lot of people here; fitting in was going to be a problem, at least how she viewed it.
"Well...okay if you say so..." She then thought of something, he had never told her what his power was and she brushed some more strands of hair from her face before she turned to face him properly. "So what is your power...you said it wasn't as cool as mine, but I bet its a lot more interesting." She then turned to look over her shoulder and noticed that some of the others were missing, but she had no idea where they wandered off to. ((Sorry phone rang >.<)) |
"I'm psychic..I can make illusions, read minds and make things levitate..Nothing special." Nathaniel said, looking at Echo.
|
She nodded and smiled before she turned to look down the hall again.
"At least you can use your powers I can't focus on anything...I try but the minute I say or do something different I lose focus and normally end up getting hurt." She said as the tip if her half purple finger found its way into her mouth again, seeing as how after being reminded of the pain, she remembered it. |
