Chapter 1

School is still in session at Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters, but Negasonic Teenage Warhead-real name Ellie Phimister-isn't in the right mind frame for it. After tagging along with Colossus to help deal with Deadpool's problems, Ellie feels like she doesn't really need to focus that much on what is going on. Walking down the hallways, Ellie was on her phone when Kitty Pryde bumped her shoulder into her.

"Heard you got to use your powers in an actual battle." Kitty said.

"Yea. I was the one pulling all the hard work." Ellie put her phone in her pocket.

"Sure you were. Anyway, I just wanted to know if you wanted to do anything in particular on Saturday." Kitty was talking about Ellie's birthday, which was 2 days away.

Ellie thought for a moment before responding. "Not really. I think I'm just going to relax, do absolutely nothing."

"Come on! I mean, nothing really special happens when you turn 17, but I figured even you would want to do something."

"No, I just want to chill the fuck out. Drink some beer. Nothing extravagant." Ellie said this as they were passing one of their teachers, Mystique, who hear what she said.

"I hope I didn't hear what I thought you said." Both Ellie and Kitty stopped. Ellie rolled her eyes before turning around to face Mystique.

"Well, I know I didn't say I was going out to tear down the city. So you definitely didn't hear me say that."

"Not as funny as some of your other sarcastic remarks." She walked a couple steps toward Ellie. "By the way, I heard you helped Mr. Rasputin with some armed conflict." Mystique crossed her arms. "I heard you fought pretty well."

"Well, I try. The other option is death, and I didn't like that." Ellie responded.

"That was better." Mystique quickly gave Ellie a once over. "Well, don't get in too much trouble."

"No promises." Ellie turned around, along with Kitty, and continued walking. Kitty managed to sneak a look back at Mystique, who kept her eyes on Ellie, which lingered on her for a little bit before she fully turned around and went her own way.

Kitty turned back and nudged Ellie. "She was checking you out!"

"Are you drunk all ready? Kinda early, don't you think?"

"I'm serious! I looked back and she was definitely looking at you." Kitty lowered her voice a little bit. "I'm pretty sure she was checking out how your ass looked."

"No she wasn't! Your seeing things." Ellie said.

"Fine. Don't believe me! But don't be surprised if she starts making some moves on you." Kitty said.

"No problem." Ellie pulled out her phone to check the time. "Sorry to cut this short, but I have to go meet up with Danielle. Talk to you later."

"See ya." Ellie went downstairs ad Kitty continued walking straight ahead.

It was very sunny this Friday. While she kept the pants part of her X-Men uniform, Ellie was wearing a white tank top today. She laying down on an outside bench, her feet on bench and her knees bent upwards.

Ellie had her eyes closed and had her headphones on. The sun felt warm on her arms and face. Her mind was wondering as the music just kept on playing uninterrupted. She was turning the events of what happened at that junkyard into a music video. It wasn't long until that stopped and for some reason she had Mystique on her mind. Ellie brushed off Kitty's claims that Mystique was checking her out the other day, but Ellie did admit that she was kind of hot. She heard that back in the 70s, Mystique would walk around in all blue with no clothes on. That image popped in Ellie's mind just as some R&B was playing in her headphones. Thinking about her, Ellie felt her nipples get hard. She was bout to play with her boobs a little bit, but that was when Kitty showed up and wrapper her arms around Ellie's legs and rested her head on her knees.

"You sure I can't convince you do leave your dorm room tomorrow and go party?" Ellie opened her eyes as Kitty asked her that question.

"Not unless you learned how to use mind control." Kitty let go as Ellie sat back up and took her headphones off her ears and rested them around her neck. "What party anyway?"

"Well, not a party really. But there will be beer. Just a get together with some people from class."

Ellie stood up and put her phone in her pocket. "Wanna walk and talk?"

"Sure. Wait-oh, I have to talk to Mr. Summers!" Kitty looked to her right as she saw one of her teachers. She turned back to Ellie. "I'll catch up with you!"

Ellie nodded as Kitty went right and Ellie turned left. As she entered the building, she ran right into Mystique.

"Hello there Ms. Warhead." Mystique said.

"Hey." Ellie responded.

"Why don't you walk with me a little bit." Mystique motioned for Ellie to walk beside her, who didn't respond for a moment.

"Ok." Ellie was shoulder to shoulder with one of her teachers. The one she was getting turned on by just a moment ago.

"Any fun plans for this weekend?" Mystique asked.

"Well, I turn 17 tomorrow. But I don't have any plans. Just staying in my room." Ellie said.

"How come?"

"Just not in the mood for a big and noisy celebration I guess."

Mystique stopped right outside of the big common area. "Well, I'll be on campus this weekend. Mind if I stop by to give you some birthday wishes?"

"Uh…sure." Ellie was hiding her confusion at what Mystique said.

"All right." Mystique patted Ellie on the back. "I'll swing by." Ellie expected her to leave then, but then she felt Mystique's hand slide down until it reached the small of her back and gave a small and quick rub. She gave Ellie a smile that seemed to mean something and then walked towards the stairs in the common area. Now it was Ellie's turn to check her out, staring at her ass. That was when Kitty showed back up.

"What exactly just happened?" Kitty asked.

"Well…I think you were right." Ellie said, still staring.

"So, wait…I did just see Mystique move her hand down your back?" Kitty asked. Ellie turned to her and just nodded. Kitty put her hand on her mouth, muffling her surprised laugh.

"Oh my god! What did she say?"

"She asked what I was doing this weekend. I told her about my birthday tomorrow and that I would be in my room basically all day. She then asked if she could swing by to wish me a happy birthday."

"I assume that her touching you like that meant you said yes." Kitty said.

Ellie gave a small grin. Kitty put her forehead against Ellie's shoulders and muffled some more laughter before brining her head back up.

"Looks like your getting laid!" Kitty said.

"Not necessarily." They were now both walking and heading towards the stairs. "Maybe she just sees me as more of a peer and a potential X-Men member. She did say she heard about my outing with Colossus."

"I guarantee you that at the very least, she is going to try and make out with you tomorrow." Kitty said. She then had suddenly realized something. "Wait, are you even attracted to girls?"

Ellie started to talk, stopped, then spoke. "I mean…I notice things, yes. But I haven't really tried asking any girls out or anything. But I wouldn't be opposed to it."

Kitty nodded in understanding. "Well, I'm here if you need me. Have fun." She gave Ellie a wink before heading off somewhere else. Ellie then decided to walk back to her dorm room, trying to figure out what will actually happen tomorrow.
