Thought
Emma Frost listened to her students’ thoughts with only half a mind.
Exhausted
The effort of trying to keep his extra skin from drooping all over the place wore Angelo out and gave him a raging headache.
Quicken
Everett watched the boy, feeling the power stirring within him, and how own power answered.
Civilization
“There isn’t even a mall near here!”
Doll
M cradled the doll in her arms, staring at nothing at all.
Will
“Concentrate on what you want the flame to do, Mr. Starsmore.”
Crush
Jono could feel Paige’s thoughts, her little crush, creeping into his mind.
Fence
Jubilee set up the barricade across the room, explaining to Paige that she needed to keep her skin on her half.
Prey
Cordelia Frost felt herself smirking as she watched Mondo dive into the clear water.
Mute
Penance and Jono sat in silence, watching the stars.
Bullet
The gun was empty and broken, but to Angelo it would always be dangerous.
Soft
Penance tried to remember what it was like to have soft skin.
Gentle
She stood over the two girls, her sisters who had stolen her identity, and watched them sleep.
Sink
“Emma’s been cooking again, hasn’t she…” Sean sighed as he regarded the mess in the sink.
Pool
Jubilee felt the pool water running off her skin like ice as Penny writhed on the tiles.
Absence
“Has anyone seen Gaia today?”
Coast
“You cannot expect to pass the classes here just because you showed up.”
Bold
“Go to the dance with me,” Angelo said with a smirk.
Art
“Looks like a kid’s drawings,” Angelo muttered to himself as he flipped through Monet’s diary.
Sand
Paige was barely able to keep herself from falling through the cracks in the floor the first time she turned into sand.
Test
A chorus of groans greeted Dr. McCoy as he passed out the test.
Circle
Penance held up her arm and inspected an old scar, a misshapen circle left by Emplate’s feedings.
Bed
Angelo used Jono’s bed more often than Jono did.
Focus
Jubilee kept up the barrage of taunts and insults, waiting for Elephant Face to get cheesed off enough to feed on her so her powers could blow up in his face.
Hook
‘s got a good hook Jono said as he listened to the song.
Clear
Snow Vally was nothing like home; the air was too clean and the sky was too clear.
Attraction
Paige and Jono kept circling each other warily, annoying everyone around them.
Mental
It’s hard to scream when your voice is purely mental.
Decade
Ten years ago, Everett never would have thought he would be attending an Xavier school.
Jealous
There were times when Jono really hated everyone around him.
Run
Paige turned up her Walkman and took off into the woods.
Still
Jono remained unmoving as Penance reached for the apple.
Blaze
Penance thought the fire in Jono’s chest was beautiful.
Echo
Sometimes, Monet could hear her brother and sisters echoing in her mind.
Maze
“This school is like a damn maze…” Angelo muttered, totally lost.
Bell
Leech carefully hung the bell over the entrance to the tree house.
Serpent
Angelo’s skin wrapped around Jono’s waist like a serpent around it’s prey, and he jerked the telepath backwards.
Story
Jono turned the page and read the next passage ‘aloud’ while Artie and Leech listened, fascinated.
Friend
“Amigos?” Angelo asked, holding out a grey hand.
Hunger
Emplate watched, waiting for the opportunity to catch his next meal.
Pressure
Sean regarded the drink on his desk silently before picking it up, raising it in a silent toast to Moira.
Curl
Her curls were like sunshine in the middle of the darkest hour to Jono.
Heal
Stop trying to fix me!”
Close
Angelo felt like Jono was the only one who really understood him.
Reign
“Queen Emma has returned,” Sean muttered to himself as Emma’s Mercedes pulled up to the school.
Room
Officially, Penance had her own room in the school; nobody had ever seen her in it.
Joy
There was nothing Everett loved more than flying.
Count
“It was one look, so it doesn’t count!”
Thin
Sometimes the line between Monet and the memories of her siblings was very thin indeed.
Farewell
Jono walked away from the school without looking back.
