X-Men | The Hunted

[sunshine and whiskey]

Claire Thompson | 18 | Pyrokinesis

​

It's been exactly three days since a new school year had started and once again, she was happy to be at the mansion. She sat down in one of the chairs in the main hall and watched as kids passed by her, some of them being immature freshmen. Claire did nothing but shake her head at them then turned to look at Bobby, who was sitting next to Kitty, as always. With an eye roll, she stood up, straightening out her clothing and walked from the main hall, into the kitchen, where she ran into Logan.


"Oh, hey there, Firestarter." Logan gave her that mutant alias but honestly, she didn't like it. She often wondered what would happen if she told him that. With the shrug of her shoulders, she escaped from la-la land and back to reality. "Hey, Logan. How are you?" Logan cracked his neck, along with the rest of his muscles then let out a hard groan. "Good now." She smiled a little then looked up and seen Ororo walk into the kitchen as well. "Logan, we need to talk."


Her voice sounded a bit strange but then again, her voice always sounded like that to her. Logan nodded his head towards Claire as she smiled again and watched him walk past her, patting her on the shoulder. Claire turned to watch them leave then jumped out of her seat and followed behind them closely but not too close. They walked towards the outside and around the side of the mansion, where the body of three mutants were found. "Someone is really trying to get rid of us, huh?" Logan said as Ororo just stared at the bodies.


Claire came around the corner and looked down, shrieking once she saw the bodies of her fellow mutants. She felt Logan's muscular arms grasp her and turn her away as she started to sniffle and sob. "Please send someone to dispose of three bodies." Ororo spoke into her earpiece.


They walked back into the mansion after Claire had gotten a hold of herself and went their separate ways. She sat down in the main hall again, still not believing what she had just seen. She tried her best to rid the images from her head but couldn't. She could already tell that it was going to be a long year.

(sorry just realized it was up. Didnt get the tag for some reason.)


Gabe stepped into the hall looking around with some awe, three days since he came and he wasn't used to the size of the place used to small apartment building, street alleys and some times sewers. He looked around trying to find a place to sit, the place was filled with student most of them he didn't know in more than passing not feeling comfortable to socialize with others yet. Most he spoke to was the headmistress Ororo who brought her to the school and "friendly talk" last night from what he suspected was the school guard guerrilla Logan when he caught Gabe smoking on school grounds and told him to remain out of trouble. Gabe still could figure out how Logan caught him on the roof on the left side of the school when gabe clearly saw Logan being on the other side. Maybe a good sense of smell was his mutant power.


"Can i seat here?"He asked seeing a free space opposite a girl sitting on her own.

She still couldn't believe what she had just saw. Ororo pleaded for her to basically keep her mouth shut about seeing the bodies. A soft sigh escaped over her parted lips as she ran her fingers through her hair. She leaned back into the couch then looked at a male that had come forth. She had seen him around the mansion before but never really had an interest to talk to him. Her lips quirked as her eyes stared at the free space for a moment then back up at him with the shrug of her shoulders.


Claire didn't answer, the shrug given towards him was the answer that she didn't care. The mutants dead bodies were still flashing in her head as she gasped then looked at the male. Claire was hummed slightly and started to rock from side to side then looked back at the male. "You're quite the troublemaker, aren't you?" She asked towards him with a delicate brow raised.


She saw the look Logan was giving him from afar and couldn't help but smile a little bit. Her eyes then looked at him again. "So, what is your name and mutation?" She asks while staring him up and down then looking in front of her, at Bobby and Kitty this time around.

Gabe sat down not really expecting anymore interaction than he already got from her. He showed by instantly taking out the books he had on his person and began reading them and making notes. The books of basic of several science subjects and maths, early high school level things. He figured he might as well take advantage of a school since he was in one for the duration.


"I have been known to... ruffle a few feathers in my times for the sake of survival."He said slightly surprised by both the question and the fact she talked to him but didn't show it still looking down to his book. " Few of my lot have any option to otherwise."He felt her eyes on him and began to feel uncomfortable to what intrested her about him."Gabriel but i prefer the less wordy Gabe and my mutation.." He smirked before looking up at her, he raised one hand and with the other removed it from his arm completely. The removed hand turned brown and began change shape in his other hand turning into a square block, it that got absorbed in the hand and the stump were his hand was began to pulsate and hand began to form appearing like nothing was removed at all."Heh, i am always curious to see people reaction to this. As i you may have guessed i am basically made of clay."
