Chapter 13

School

The next morning...

Miranda gets up before anyone and goes outside. She jumps towards a tree and climbs to the tippy top. She gets as far as she can go before the branches would give way beneath her. Sitting down on a tree branch, she looks down below to the other branches, and spots a nest, obviously not knowing what it is she observes it, from her spot looking at the little fuzzy things inside. Two birds fly up to it, a red one and a brownish red one. One they land on the nest the fuzzy things start making these weird chirping noises.

Oh... So those must be the parents and those are the kids... It must be nice to have parents that actually care about you... Miranda looks down sadly and tears form in her eyes. What did Tony call those things again? Birds? They're kinda somewhat like Staraptor but extremely small...

Miranda is brought back to her senses when she hears a rustling behind her. She turns around to a familiar face then turns back around. "Oh, it's just you."

"Yeah, it's just me. Also, those are birds, they're called cardinals," Clint says and sits next to her. He turns to look at her and peers into her face. "Are you crying? Why? You okay?"

She turns her face away from him and gazes back towards the birds. "No... I'm fine..."

"That's obviously a lie," Clint says.

"No, it's not! I'm fine! Still just a little sleepy! I'm gonna go get some more sleep! Bye!" Miranda says and jumps to her balcony from the tree. The doors slam shut behind her.

"Did I say something wrong?" Clint says to no one in particular and leans back against the tree trunk.

A little later...

"Why are you yelling at me?! It's not like I tell them to draw on your faces!" Miranda yells.

"This is not funny in the least!" Thor yells.

"This has already happened to me before! Why again?!" Clint yells.

"Stop yelling at me! It is not my fault!" Miranda yells.

"Take it outside," Steve says pushing all three outside onto the lawn.

"I am a God! I shall not be made fun of in this manner!" Thor yells.

"Why does it matter?! Goldilocks! Not like you're trying to impress anyone! Why's it matter? Just get over yourself and wash it off!" Miranda yells at Thor and grows in size. Clint backs away slowly, knowing where this is leading.

"How dare you speak to a God that way!" Thor yells. All the people inside the mansion wake up and are now watching out their windows excitedly.

"God Shmod! So what! What's that gonna help with you having marker on your face?" Miranda yells.

"How dare you!" Thor yells and lifts his hammer.

"What are you gonna do hit me with your wittle hammer? Without it you'd be useless!" Miranda yells.

"Thor, no!" Tony yells.

"Arghhh!" Thor yells and swings his hand down. Miranda lifts her hand up and intercepts the hammer. "Impossible!"

"You're pathetic! How are you letting a girl defeat you?" Miranda says and grows a little bigger. She throws Thor back. "You can't defeat me!"

"I was going easy on you, but if it's a fight you want, then a fight you shall get!" Thor yells and lurches at Miranda. She puts up her hand and blasts him back without even looking at him.

"Thor! Stop! That's not a good idea!" Lucario yells and shoots him out of the way. "You must not battle her when she's like this! She will engrave you into the ground no matter how powerful you are! And trust me she's suppressing as much as possible, even if it doesn't look it!" Thor rushes at Miranda again. "Stop!" Lucario says and hits Thor away from hitting Miranda.

Thor turns to Lucario. "You wanna fight too?!" Thor yells.

"No, I'm trying to get you to stop. Snap out of it!" Lucario yells.

Thor snaps back to reality. "Sorry..." Thor says getting a punch in the face by Miranda and he flies backwards. "How dare-!?"

"Eevee! Heal pulse if you would, please," Lucario says.

Eevee uses the move and Miranda grows three sizes smaller than she was before. Thor rushes at her and she quickly ducks. Now back to normal size Miranda pats Eevee's head. "Thank you. You too Lucario," Miranda says. "Sorry."

"Oops... Sorry... again," Thor says regaining his balance.

"You're welcome," Lucario says. "Anything to help my master."

"What was that all about?" Tony asks walking out.

"When I yell or get angry, it can sometimes go out of control," Miranda says.

"Like Hulk," Hulk says.

"Except I don't turn green," Miranda says.

"Did you just gain this?" Xavier asks coming out.

"Kinda, it was right when I arrived in this world," Miranda says. "I hope it won't stay."

"What about those other times you yelled?" Tony asks.

"That kinda yelling is different. That wasn't yelling at another it was orders. Like it only happens when I argue with someone," Miranda says. "Or more like when SOMEONE wakes me up."

"Strange," Xavier says.

"Mesprit! Azelf! Come here!" Miranda yells. "You have something to say to them?"

"Sorry..." Mesprit says.

"I'm sorry..." Azelf says.

"Anyway, if they do it again, next time don't wake me up," Miranda says. "Or all this will happen again. I hate being woken up."

"We've noticed," Clint says.

"Well, since we're all up, we should all begin to get ready for class," Xavier says. "Remember Miranda, just pop into any class you feel might interest you."

"Alright, thanks," Miranda says.

Xavier turns toward the Avengers. "You are holding up your end of the deal right?" Xavier asks.

"Yeah, yeah," Tony says. "So! Who want's to learn about technology?" A few students shout from the window saying 'yes'. "Beat that Clint." Tony gives Clint a big challenging smile.

"Who wants to learn how to aim like a pro?" Clint says. Again students shout saying 'yes'. "I win."

"It was the same," Tony says.

"No it wasn't!"

"True... I got more, but I was trying to be nice."

"I will just go teach with Logan, Professor," Steve says to Xavier, ignoring Tony and Clint's bickering.

"Very well," Xavier says. "Time to get ready everyone! If you want to come to Tony or Clint's class they will be out here. Whoever has Jean, Storm, or Angel are allowed out here they are not here today. You can also come during your free period."

"I need targets and things for them to shoot if they don't have powers," Clint says.

"I will get some students to bring you everything you need, don't worry," Xavier says.

The students all get back into their rooms and close the windows. Miranda walks inside to find Kitty and the others. She wanted to find out what they were taking first. Lucario follows behind her.

...

"Kitty!" Miranda yells and Kitty stops before phasing through a wall.

"Miranda! What's up?" Kitty asks.

"What do you have first?" Miranda asks.

"I had Storm so I'm going to learn to aim better," Kitty says. "I'm going to get some of the supplies for them. Wanna help?"

"Sure!" Miranda says.

Kitty grabs onto Miranda's arm. "Let's go then!" She pulls Miranda through the wall with her. Before she does Lucario grabs Miranda's other arm and phases through with them. While phasing through things Kitty continues to talk. "Peter has Jean so he should be going outside too! Adam had flying with Angel so he should too and Levi had Storm too. Hunter and Kurt have Xavier first so they won't be there. Bobby and Rogue have Scott first so they won't either."

This girl never shuts up like Shaymin... Lucario thinks.

"Okay! Grab targets and things that shoot!" Kitty says.

Miranda grabs bandanas, bows, arrows, targets, along with some technology for Tony. I can't wait to show up Clint. This is gonna be fun... Miranda smiles devilishly. "Lucario grab a few things too."

"I am, I am," Lucario says lifting up a few targets.

"Alright, let's go back outside," Kitty says phasing through the wall.

"You just leave us. Whatever we can teleport," Miranda says. "Grab on Lucario." Lucario puts his leg on her's since his arms are full. "To the lawn!" They disappear from the room.

...

"Set the targets up along the tree," Clint says.

Kitty decides to be involved in the shooting classes, along with Peter. Adam goes to side of the field.

"Here?" Miranda asks levitating the targets in the air.

"Perfect," Clint says and turns to his group of students. "Everyone that doesn't have shooting powers get a bow and some arrows. The ones that can shoot stuff go to Miranda."

"Awh, are you scared you can't teach the ones that can shoot?" Miranda teases.

"No!" Clint fusses back.

"Then how about I get the no powers and you get the powers?" Miranda says.

"Fine! I'll show you!" Clint says. "Change of plans! Swap what I just said!"

"Good luck!" Miranda says.

"Shut up," Clint says annoyed. "Anyway, shooting takes a lot of math. Calculations and angles are important. Now pay close attention if you wanna be able to shoot like this." He shoots an arrow behind him and it bounces off the other targets before getting a bullseye on the middle one.

"Whoa!" Kitty says. "Miranda can you do that?"

"Easy," Miranda says and grabs a bow with an arrow. She points it behind her and shoots. The arrow bounces off the same exact places then splits Clint's arrow right in half.

"Double whoa!" Kitty says.

"Show off," Clint says.

"You're to speak," Miranda says.

"Show me how to do it!" Kitty says excitedly to Miranda.

"You won't be able to do that without training a lot," Miranda says. "What I just did takes years of training." Miranda looks over at Clint. "So, Birdy, you gonna teach your class or am I?"

"I will! Just uh... aim your hand at the target and shoot..." Clint says unsure.

"Alright, you have no idea what you're doing. Take the no powers, I will work with the powers," Miranda says.

"Yes!" Clint says and readies his bow. He walks over with the bow n arrow students and Miranda remains with the others.

"So... what can each of you do?" Miranda asks.

"You already know mine," Levi says.

"Oh! Hi! Levi!" Miranda says. "Will you shoot for me?"

"Sure!" Levi says. Everyone around him laughs.

"What's so funny?" Miranda asks.

"Klutz can't hit any targets. He never has!" a kid says.

"Then that's about to change," Miranda says glaring at the kid who said that. "Levi! Front and center! Let's show them what you can do!"

Levi readies himself in front of Miranda. He crosses his arm in front of him then throws them down lighting up his flames from his hands. He lifts his arm up and throws. He misses.

"See? Told you!" the kid laughs along with the rest.

Miranda ignores him and walks up to Levi. "Position your arm as if you're about to throw it," Miranda says. He lifts his arm as if about to throw and Miranda moves his arm into a different position. "Now throw." He throws and hits the target spot on.

"No way!" the kid says.

"Keep throwing like that," Miranda says. Levi continues to throw the way that she told him and continuously hits the targets, right in the middle. Every hit he makes his face glows brighter and brighter with happiness. "Now you, kid that was talking. You come up here." The kid walks up excited. "What's your name?"

"Raiden," he says.

"Alright, Mr. Smart guy hit all the targets, with a bullseye," Miranda says.

"But that's like impossible!" Raiden complains.

"Is it?" Miranda says. "Move." Raiden moves out of the way and Miranda stands in his place. "Watch and learn." She glows blue and sends blasts from her all at once hitting every target, shattering them to pieces. The blue fades away from her and she turns to Raiden. "Doesn't seem impossible to me."

"B-because you're a freak!" Raiden says.

"Well, last time I checked, so are you," Miranda says.

"Ooooohhh!" the kids all say.

Miranda smiles. "Now, I don't see any targets being hit," Miranda says.

"Fine!" Raiden says and turns into pure electricity. He points his body towards the targets then turns. He shoots all at once and purposely aims it at Miranda. Sparks jumps in front and takes it full on not even flinching. "What!?"

"Surprised, huh?" Miranda says. "How about we give you double the power?"

"What?" Raiden says nervously.

"Sparks! Thunder, will yah?" Miranda asks. Pachirisu sparking with electricity jumps into the air and shoots double the amount he shot including all the power he just shot, that she absorbed.

"Ahhh! T-t-t-oooooo m-much!" Raiden says and electricity bursts from him. Miranda and Lucario quickly put a barrier around him and the electricity slowly fades out. There lying on the ground is Raiden unmoving.

"He's just fine. Who's shooting next?" Miranda asks.

Everyone stares at Raiden for a moment then jumps at Miranda. "Me! Me! Me!" they all yell.

"Alright! Alright! Make a line and practice shooting at the target in front of you," Miranda says. They all line up and begin to shoot at the targets. Miranda's pokemon create more targets for everyone while she fixes everyone's posture. "More like this." Miranda stands in a position and the student copies. "Not like that." The student changes her stance again. "Here let me..." Miranda walks up to her and moves her arms around to the right place. "Now try to shoot." The girl shoots and hits the target. "There you go!"

"I need help!" a boy cries out trying to figure out how to stand.

Miranda walks up to him and fixes him. "Now shoot," Miranda says. The boy gets a bullseye. "Great! Everyone! Has everyone gotten a bullseye?" Everyone says 'yes' and shake their heads up and down. "Good! Now everyone drop their stance." Everyone drops their hands and just stand normally. "Now shoot again." Very few make a bullseye. "That's what I thought would happen." She goes to each and fixes everyone. "Shoot." They all make it. "Now again drop then get back in this position and shoot! You all need to be dependent!"

They all drop and then back up and shoot. A little more than last time, make it. Miranda goes around and fixes who needs it. She makes the gesture to redo it with her finger. Again they redo the process and Miranda continues to fix who needs it. Eventually everyone hits a target and everyone shouts for joy.

"Finally!" a boy shouts jumping up.

"Alright! Good job everyone!" Miranda says and everyone shouts by being praised. "But-" Everyone goes silent so silent you could hear a pin drop. "Will you be able to do it tomorrow?" Everyone yells 'yes' and nods then everyone returns silent again. Raiden is slowly standing up. "Finally up sleepyhead?"

"No thanks to you," Raiden says rubbing his head now standing.

"I thought you might have needed a nice long nap," Miranda says. "Have anything to say?"

"No," Raiden says.

Miranda sends a lightning bolt from herself knocking Raiden backwards. "Well that's new," Miranda says and looks at her hand. She then walks up to Raiden and puts her foot on his chest. She leans down close to his face. "I said, have anything to say?"

"Still not saying anything," Raiden says. "You don't scare me."

"Oh? I don't now? Well, how about we change that?" Miranda says daringly getting even more in his face. "I will ask one more time. Do you have anything to say?"

"Not really," Raiden says struggling to try and get up sending sparks out from him trying to get Miranda off of him.

"Oh? Well, that's a shame... I will just have to teach you what happens when you don't apologize," Miranda says. She lifts him off the ground with one hand. "Let's take a little trip to your nightmares and find out exactly what frightens you." She digs in her bag and pulls out a pokeball that is a really dark color. She tosses it into the air then puts the pokeball back in her bag.

What's revealed is a black, shadow-like pokemon. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak.

"Is that-!?" Raiden fusses.

"Yes, yes. This is Darkrai the pokemon of nightmares," Miranda says just a little bit too evil.

"Okay! Okay, I give! I'm S-O-R-R-Y! Sorry!" Raiden freaks.

"Sorry! It's too late! I gave you one last chance, but you didn't take it," Miranda says. "Darkrai... Scare him just enough to make him cooperate." Darkrai nods his head then a black fog surrounds him and Raiden while Miranda leaves. You can hear some of Raiden cries.

"Miranda!? What are you doing to him!?" Clint yells running up.

"Don't worry about it, the boy will be fine. He's just learning a lesson," Miranda says and smiles somewhat evilly. "So? How about we have a competition? My 'students' against yours. Whoever gets the most targets wins!"

Clint gets totally distracted by the challenge, he forgets about what's happening to Raiden. "You are so on!" Clint says determined.

"Alright! Everybody! We are gonna have a competition against Clint's group! Whoever has the most bullseyes wins!" Miranda says. She gets a couple blank stares, frightened stares, looking back and forth between her and what's happening to Raiden. Then they all shout 'yes!' That's when the battle begins.

...

"No! Aim like this!" Clint yells determined to not lose to a 16 year old girl.

"Uhn-uh! You can't help them!" Miranda fusses with Clint. "They can do it on their own, right?"

"Urkk... Yes!" Clint says with irk mark on his forehead.

A score board is created by Gardevoir and Gallade. Gardevoir is recording how many Miranda's group gets and Gallade is recording how many Clint's group is getting. Gardevoir is also creating targets for her's and Gallade is creating targets for his. So far Miranda's group is in the lead. Both Miranda and Clint are not participating but merely sitting on the side, watching arrows and all sorts of different powers fly by.

"Keep it up guys!" Miranda shouts. She turns towards Clint and smiles.

"Don't look at me like that. I already know," Clint says defeated.

"Just rubbing it in," Miranda says happily and turns back to watch.

"I can't believe you're beating me at my own game," Clint says quietly.

Miranda stands up and walks over to Darkrai. She walks into the black fog to see Raiden shaking. "Alright! Darkrai that's enough," Miranda says. Darkrai wakes the boy up and the fog disappears. Raiden looks at Miranda in pure terror. "Glad you understand my potential now. We will talk after the competition. Stay here; don't make me come find you." Raiden nods and runs out to go and shoot also. "What was it he was scared of?"

"Clowns..." Darkrai says.

"Clowns are funny! Not scary!" Miranda says and laughs.

They go back to the game and sit next to Clint. Clint looks over somewhat confused. "Is that another one of your pokemon?"

"Yes. This is Darkrai," Miranda says.

"Hi..." Darkrai says.

"Yeah... Hi... You just keep popping out pokemon from nowhere. How many more do you have?" Clint asks.

"I might have more, I might not. I'm not telling you," Miranda says.

Clint rolls his eyes and gives her a scoff. "You're not surprising me anymore," Clint says.

...

In the end Miranda's group wins 93 to 60, and are currently all jumping up and down. "Great job guys! I knew we would win!" Miranda yells. The bell rings for next class and most of the students walk to the side of the lawn to where Tony is. Then the students Tony had go over to where Miranda and Clint are. Raiden walks up to Miranda and falls to his knees.

"I'm sorry! So sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Please don't ever do that again! I don't! I can't do it again! I-it was terrifying! Please! I'm so so sorry!" Raiden pleads tears dropping on Miranda's shoes.

"I accept your apology. I also will never do that again, unless I catch you being an ass again," Miranda says. "Now, I'm not the only one you need to apologize to."

They walk over to Tony's side and find Levi. "Hey, Miranda! What's up?" Levi asks.

"Raiden here has something to say to you," Miranda says and Raiden comes out from behind her.

"Whoa! Dude your eyes are all puffy and you look like you've just seen a ghost," Levi says observing his face.

"Well? Go ahead and say it," Miranda says and nudges Raiden.

"I-I'm sorry... For everything..." Raiden says. "For making fun of you..."

Levi looks at him confused then looks to Miranda and smiles. He mouths 'thanks' at her then turns back to Sparks. "Thanks, I accept. Hope we won't have anymore problems like before," Levi says. "Let's go see what Tony has to say." Levi slings his arm around Raiden's neck and they walk off towards Tony's area.

...

Miranda walks back to where Clint is and sees him already showing them the ropes. "Need any help?" Miranda asks.

"No! Not from you!" Clint says annoyed.

Miranda snickers. "Alright, fine. Good thing though, I did wanna go check out the other classes," Miranda says.

"Good! Then go!" Clint says aggravated.

Miranda laughs. "Jealous much?" Miranda says.

"Whatever," Clint says and rolls his eyes.

"Gallade and Ralts, I want you to stay here and help with the targets. Let Ralts try a little bit. Everyone else comes with me," Miranda says. Darkrai, Lucario, Gardevoir, and of course Sparks leaves with Miranda to somewhere else in the school.

...

"Where are we headed to now?" Lucario asks.

"Don't know yet. Just looking around for now. See what interests me," Miranda says. They continue to walk and find themselves in front of the danger room. Inside the room you can lots of loud bangs from it along with an 'ughh'. "Let's find out what's going on in there." She goes to door and it won't open. "We will have to teleport if we want to see." With that they all disappear.

...

In the danger room a couple minutes earlier...

"So, how have things been?" Steve says jumping onto a sentinel.

"Same as always. Hiding from the world as much as possible and saving it," Logan says slashing at a leg of a sentinel. "Wadda bout you?"

"Same, well, the saving the world part. Along with the crazy past month," Steve says smashing his shield into the sentinel's head.

"With the girl?" Logan asks slicing at another sentinel.

"Yeah, she's been here for a month and two days," Steve says flipping off the sentinel's head onto another's.

"Specific much? What's the story on her? And those creatures?" Logan asks.

"She's from another world. From what I know it's a video game here," Steve says and smashes the head of the sentinel. "I don't know much about it, I never played it."

"Video game?" Logan says confused and rips apart a sentinel.

"Yeah, it's called pokemon. That's what the creatures are called also. Instead of animals it's pokemon," Steve says blocking a laser beam.

"Strange," Logan says evading an arm swung at him.

"Isn't it? Anyway, we have been hiding from SHIELD because they're trying to capture them to experiment on them. They fear that she will take over the world or something," Steve says.

"I've seen her potential in person, I can believe it," Logan says slicing at an arm coming towards him.

"Except, I don't think that she will or even wants to," Steve says.

"Well of course not. She's like the most innocent girl I've ever met," Logan says.

"Well, I wouldn't say that," Steve says.

Logan looks at him a little surprised then gets smacked by a sentinel into a car. "Ughh..."

...

"What?" Miranda says looking beside her, on the ground, at Logan. "Are you okay?" She walks up to Logan.

"How did you get in here?" Logan asks painfully.

"Teleportation, duh. Anyway, you okay?" Miranda asks. Logan stands up slowly and pops his back. "Ewww..."

"Just fine. Now get out of here," Logan says and runs back to the battle with Steve.

"Miranda?! What are you doing in here?" Steve asks after knocking out a sentinel.

"I was just curious to see what was happening in here... Sorry if I interrupted. I will leave now," Miranda says.

"It's okay, if you want then stay, just stay out of the way," Steve says blocking lasers.

"Really!? Okay!" Miranda says excitedly and leans against the car Logan was thrown into. Steve runs back to the battle and breaks through a sentinel.

"You know there's a robot behind us, right?" Lucario asks Miranda.

"Yes, I know," Miranda says.

Steve turns around to throw his shield at another and catches sight of the sentinel behind Miranda. "Look out!" Steve yells to her.

Miranda moves right before the lasers hit her. She turns and sends a blast from her hands that go right through the sentinel. "Got em," Miranda says. "Cap! Watch out yourself!" Steve turns and gets blasted by the laser beams. Miranda runs up to him. "Oh please don't be dead!" The sentinels begin to surround them. "Lucario, protect us will ya?" Lucario nods and puts up a force field around them before the lasers hit them. Steve sits up. "Oh thank Arceus! Glad you're okay!"

Steve laughs. "It takes a lot more than that to take me down," Steve says. Arceus?

"That's what I thought, but it still worried me," Miranda says.

"Ready to finish them off?" Steve asks.

"Can I?" Miranda asks excitedly.

"Well, if you don't, they will still attack you," Steve says. "May as well fight."

"Yay! Let's do this! Lucario, down with protect when I say," Miranda says. Lucario nods. The lasers stop for a moment. "Now!" The force field is let down and Miranda blasts through all the sentinels surrounding them.

"You've have gotten great control over that now," Steve says. "Good job."

"Thanks!" Miranda says.

Logan finishes up the last of the sentinels and the simulation disappears, the room turns into a large open space. Logan walks up to them. "Why'd you let her help?" Logan asks.

"They would've attacked her anyway, even if she didn't," Steve says.

"Fine," Logan scoffs brushing by them out the door.

"What's his problem?" Miranda asks innocently, not in a mean sorta way.

"He just wanted it to be us," Steve says.

"Oh... Sorry..." Miranda says.

"It's okay. He'll get over it," Steve says.

...

Kitty and Adam went back inside for Hank's class. Peter has Storm so he remains outside. Hunter has Storm this period as well and comes outside from Xavier. Levi has Jean next so he remains outside, but moves over to Tony's group.

Miranda decides to find out what Thor and Hulk are doing...

...

In the kitchen Luxray and Jolteon are at Thor's side. Leafeon is on the floor by Hulk and Eevee is on the counter in front of Hulk.

"That is my sandwich! Methinks thou should'st give it back, foul beast, or thou shall face my wrath!" Thor yells.

Hulk takes a bite of the sandwich. "To late, it's mine now," Hulk says.

"Thou dare shame me!" Thor yells. "We shall settle this like men!" He raises his hammer.

"Thor! This is not the place for your petty fights! It's a sandwich get over it!" Miranda yells walking into the kitchen.

Thor drops his arm. "Will thou make one for me then?" Thor asks.

"I can," Miranda says.

"What joy! I shall wait in the room of dining," Thor says.

"I said I can, not will," Miranda says.

"What?" Thor says confused. "But..." Hulk tosses the rest the sandwich into his mouth and giggles to himself. "Shut up, troll!"

"Why are you acting so childish?" Miranda asks Thor and turns. "Gardevoir, can you make us all sandwiches?"

"Yes, master," Gardevoir says.

"Me childish?" Thor says taking it as an insult. "What doth thou mean?"

"It means that you are acting like a child," Miranda says. "How low can you be?"

"How dare you speak to a God that way! Art thou looking for a fight?" Thor yells.

"Things getting tense," Hulk says snickering.

"It is pointless to fight with you. I will win, like I was going to this morning, but was stopped, lucky for you," Miranda says.

"How dare!" Thor yells but gets interrupted.

"Damn, what's with all the yelling?" Logan asks walking in annoyed.

"Logan, want a sandwich?" Miranda asks.

"What?" Logan asks. "Um... sure."

"I guess it can be an apology for earlier..." Miranda says.

"Have you forgotten about me?" Thor says angrily.

Miranda shoots him a glare.

"Sorry? For what?" Logan asks confused.

"For interrupting your time with Steve. I didn't mean to ruin it," Miranda says apologetically.

"Oh... that... I should be the one sorry. I'm sorry the way acted," Logan says apologetically but in a stern tone.

"It's fine," Miranda says and turns toward the sandwich maker. "Gardevoir, the sandwiches done?"

"All done," Gardevoir says. "Each sandwich matches what you all like in a sandwich. Sorry, Lucario helped me read your thoughts to find what your favorite sandwich is."

"Wonderful..." Logan says sarcastically. {Just what I need... Someone else looking through mind...}

"You've had people in your mind?" Miranda asks obviously reading his mind.

Logan looks at her and growls. {Don't read my mind kid for your own health.}

"Sorry... I didn't mean to... Wait! I just read your mind! I read your thoughts! I've never been able to do that!" Miranda says excitedly.

"I thought you've been able to do that?" Logan asks.

"No, I've been able to read their memories not their thoughts. This is too exciting!" Miranda says.

"Don't overreact. This must be a new power," Logan says.

"Duh," Miranda says and turns toward Hulk.

{Hulk want more sandwiches. Hulk hungry.}

"Gardevoir, can you make a few more sandwiches for Hulk?" Miranda asks.

"Yes, master," Gardevoir says and puts about 20 sandwiches together.

Miranda turns towards Thor.

{How dare they! They're just gonna ignore me! This is no way to treat a god! Why doth this sandwich have to be so good!? I can't even hate it!}

Miranda laughs. "Thor, just get over yourself, you have all these sandwiches that are ten times better then that one sandwich you had, and you know it," Miranda says.

"How dare!... Nevermind..." Thor says and happily takes another bite of his sandwich.

Miranda then turns towards Lucario. It's just an open space.

"You are not reading my mind," Lucario says.

Miranda pouts. "No fair..." She turns toward Logan.

"NO! You will not be reading my mind," Logan says. {Brat.}

"Hmmph!" Miranda pouts. I am not a brat! "Anyway, why are you here?"

"I was hungry," Logan says. "Looks like that's fulfilled now." He finishes off his sandwich and stands up. "Well, I got to get the danger room ready for my classes for later."

"Oh, okay. Bye!" Miranda says.

Logan leaves the room and Miranda turns toward Hulk. {Best sandwich Hulk ever has. Yummmm.}

Miranda laughs. "I'll see you guys later. I'm gonna go explore some," Miranda says.

"Bye," Hulk and Thor say at the same time. They look at each other then have a stare down.

...

"If you add this to this, this would be your answer," Hank says.

"I don't get it..." Kitty says bored.

"Here let me show you..." Bobby says.

"What is even happening? When will we ever actually use this in life?" Rogue asks annoyed.

"What? How did you get that answer?!" Adam says confused.

The door opens and whispers go all around the room. "Look, it's the girl with the pokemon! Pachirisu is so cute!"

"Is that Darkrai? That thing can make your worst nightmares come true, right?"

"Yeah, I don't wanna have that happen to me."

"Did you see what it did to Raiden?"

"Yeah, but Raiden had it coming. He was being a jerk."

"True, true. Did you see what he looked like after? He was scared out of his wits."

"Like this," Miranda says coming into the room. She leans over Adam and fur brushes against his cheek from Sparks and Miranda solves the problem.

"I thought you never went to school?" Adam asks brushing the fur out of his face. {How would you know this?}

"I didn't, I just watched how Hank did it and figured it out," Miranda says. "I don't see how you don't get it."

"It's hard. I don't understand how you do that," Adam says. {What the hell?}

"Ah, Miranda, welcome to my class. Wanna try out a worksheet?" Hank asks. {She can do this by watching me do one problem? Something completely new to her and she learns it right away? Interesting...}

"Can I?" Miranda asks. Her pokemon stand by the desk.

"Of course," Hank says and gestures to the open desk next to Adam. It's also in the middle of all of them. Hank hands her a worksheet with all these math problems on it. "Here you go." {Let's see how she does.}

"Thank you," Miranda says. "Can I have a pencil?"

"Here, I have an extra one," Adam says and gives her one.

"Thanks," Miranda says and begins solve the problems. A few minutes later the whole worksheet is filled out. "Soooo, what do you do when your done?"

"You're already done?!" Kitty says completely shocked. {She's really smart...}

"Yeah," Miranda says. "Are you not?"

"I've only gotten to number 3! How are you done?!" Kitty asks. {There's no way...}

"I don't know, it was easy," Miranda says and sits back in her chair.

Hank walks to her and takes a look at her worksheet. His eyes go wide. "These are all right! Quite impressive!" Hank says. {Incredible! Fantastic! Outstanding!}

"Really?!" Kitty yells. {How the hell?}

"Wow..." Adam says. {She's awesome...}

"Will you show the students how you did it?" Hank asks. {Maybe if you explain it the students will understand better.}

"Gladly," Miranda says and stands up with her worksheet. Lucario walks up behind her and Gardevoir follows. "Gardevoir, stay here."

"Yes, master," Gardevoir says.

"Stop calling me master, it's weird," Miranda says and walks to the board with Lucario in tow. Once at the board she turns around to all the students. "So, uh, which problem do you want me to do?"

"3!"

"6!"

"8!"

"All of them!" Kitty shouts.

"Alright," Miranda says and explains how to get each answer in an apparently easier way then Hank did because after she's done, everyone seems to understand how to do it, even Kitty.

"Oh! That makes so much more sense!" Kitty says. {Why couldn't Hank explain it like this?}

"Maybe Xavier should have you teach math for me instead of going around exploring each class," Hank says. {That way I can focus more on my science portion.}

"This is boring, I don't wanna do that!" Miranda says worriedly.

"What really? It looked like you loved it," Hank says. {This is surprising...}

"It's too easy that it's boring. I didn't even have to try. I like practice to get better not automatically," Miranda says. "Well... determining what it is..."

Hank laughs. "Well, alright, but if you change your mind just tell me!" Hank says and walks back to his desk to grade papers. {This girl is truly interesting.}

"Miranda! That's incredible how you can do this do easily! I wish I could do that," Kitty says totally fascinated. {How come I can't do that? It's not fair!}

"I guess. Anyway, when does this class end?" Miranda asks.

"We leave in about 5 minutes," Rogue says. {Can we leave already? This sucks.}

"What's next?" Miranda asks.

"Free period. Everyone has it next. I guess it's kinda like a lunch break," Bobby says. {Lunch time!}

"So everyone will be there?" Miranda asks.

"Yeah, everyone usually goes outside," Adam says. {See what my brothers have going on.}

"Oh, okay," Miranda says.

"I'm gonna go to Clint's area. I need to learn how to shoot better," Bobby says. {I don't always shoot what I want... I'm such a loser...}

"Clint could only help you if you shot something physical, not with your powers. I can help you with that," Miranda says.

"Really?" Bobby asks. {What?}

"We had a battle against each other and my team won," Miranda says.

"Awesome!" Bobby says. {Can't wait!}

"Yeah, their team was tough," Kitty says. {Like really hard...}

"I know a certain way to stance yourself," Miranda says.

"You'll teach me?" Bobby asks. {Miranda's secret stance... Yeah!}

"Well, duh, it's not a secret," Miranda says. The bell rings and everyone leaves for outside.

...

"Miranda, follow us. We all sit at the same place everyday," Kitty says. {On our big rock! I can be with Peter.}

"We have the best spot," Rogue says. {It's where I can look down on everyone.}

"What do you usually do?" Miranda asks.

"We eat lunch, talk, study, train, and whatever else," Bobby says. {Things I'm not mentioning. Hehe.}

"You better be ready everyone's gonna come up to you to see your pokemon," Adam says. {Hope she'll be okay.}

"I think I'm ready for that," Miranda says confidently.

"Are your pokemon?" Kitty asks looking at Pachirisu. {The poor thing might be scared.}

"Chuu pahh!" Sparks says excitedly.

"My pokemon are all already used to it they won't get scared so easily. I get crowded all the time back home," Miranda says. "Isn't that right, Sparks?" She scratches under Sparks' chin.

"Chuu chu pah!" Sparks says happily.

"Oh, right, I forgot," Kitty says. {Duh! Idiot! She's the champion! Of course they're used to it! Stupid! Stupid!}Kitty mentally smacks herself repeatedly.

Miranda snickers to herself. Then, they walk out the front entrance and are immediately called out to.

"Guys!" Kurt yells waving his hands around frantically. {Hurry up!}

"You don't have to do that every time, we know where to go," Rogue says annoyed. {Idiot, brother... Why'd he have to be my brother?}

Miranda looks towards Rogue shocked. Brother? She looks back and forth between them, but sees no resemblance. Weird...

They all walk over towards a large flat boulder that fits all 9 of them plus some. Stairs are carved in the boulder making it easier to get to the top. On the top Kurt, Levi, Hunter, and Peter are already there waiting for everyone else. Kitty makes a beeline straight to Peter. Bobby and Rogue sit down together. Kurt and the three brothers sit together. Everyone makes one large circle around the top of the boulder. Miranda sits by the brothers. Her pokemon surround her backside and Sparks sits in her lap.

"Hey, thanks about Raiden," Levi says. {That meant so much to me you don't even know.}

"No problem. He was being a jerk. He got what he deserved," Miranda says and begins to pet Sparks. "He had it coming."

"He was shaking with a look of terror and jumping at every little thing that moved. What did you do?" Levi asks. {He looked dead inside and out, really creepy.}

I told Darkrai not to over do it... "Just his worst nightmare," Miranda says joking, but with some seriousness to it. She turns and gives Darkrai a glare. Darkrai jolts back with a look of shock on his face, scared he disappears into the air off somewhere.

"I know what Darkrai is capable of, but I didn't know it was that bad," Levi says. {Scary...}

"He was supposed to give him a little fright, but yeah... I recently caught him. He needs more training," Miranda says somewhat ashamed.

"Well, I don't care as long as he's not making fun of me anymore, I don't really care," Levi says somewhat coldly. {That asshole has been up my ass ever since we got here.}

"Wait, someone was making fun of you!?" Adam says angrily. "Who? I'll take care of them!" {Where is he?!}

"No! Adam, Miranda already took care of it. No need to worry now," Levi says. {Idiot... heheh. Just like him to now be catching on to the conversation.}

Miranda laughs. "Is it always this exciting?"

"Well, sometimes we are attacked by the Brotherhood and other villains," Hunter says. {Douchebags...}

{I wonder if she will let me play with her pokemon.}

{Should I ask her?}

{Will she let me?}

{Hopefully...}

Miranda lies back and closes her eyes. Too many different thoughts from too many different people... Got to stop. Control it. You can do it.

"Chuu pah?" Sparks says observing Miranda's face with worry.{She okay? Please don't be hurting.}

"Don't worry, Sparks, I'm fine," Miranda says eyes still closed.

"You alright?" Hunter asks. {Why is she doing this in front of us? Is she trying to make us pounce on her?}

Lucario glares at Hunter, but he doesn't notice.

"Yeah... Just trying to focus my thoughts. I'm fine..." Miranda says. Sparks jumps off Miranda.

"You sure? You're glowing blue," Hunter says unsure. {What's happening?}

"Just a little more..." Miranda says and really concentrates.

"She okay?" Kurt asks.

The blue breaks off and Miranda smiles. "I'm perfectly good. I've taken control of my powers," she says.

"What you were having trouble?" Levi asks shocked. "And you got control just like that?"

"I can usually contain my powers easily, it rarely ever shows," Miranda says.

"You truly are incredible. You know that?" Hunter says.

Miranda giggles. "Thanks!"

"It looks like you have some fans," Adam says and looks down from the boulder. Down at the bottom there is about every student in the school. A few are trying to come up, but are hesitant. "I think they want to see your pokemon."

"That's exactly what they want," Miranda says and stands up. She walks over to the edge. "So, you all want to play with my pokemon?" They all nod nervously. "I would gladly show you all my pokemon!"

"You sure?" Lucario asks.

'All my pokemon come to me. I'm outside on a big boulder,' Miranda says. A few moments later you can hear lots of different footsteps.

Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray, Lopunny, Glameow, Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon, Espeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Eevee, Shaymin, Gallade, Ralts, Braviary, Mesprit, and Azelf come running/floating/flying straight towards Miranda.

"Look there they are!"

"Hey everyone, the students want to play and check you out," Miranda says. "Go on." She rummages through her bag and pulls out a couple pokeballs. "Everyone can you make a large space?" The students move and Miranda tosses the pokeballs out. Garchomp, Drapion, Empoleon, Torterra, and Rampardos are let out.

"Whoa! They're huge!"

"You guys can go down there too, if you want," Miranda says turning to her pokemon with her.

"I will stay with you," Lucario says.

"I shall go over to Gallade and my son," Gardevoir says and teleports to them.

Pachirisu jumps from Miranda's shoulders onto Torterra's back and makes her way to the ground to greet someone. The students and pokemon all file in between and interact with each other.

"I'm going down too!" Levi says excitedly and runs down the stairs. Everyone else follows and Miranda and Lucario are left on top of the boulder.

Miranda sits at the edge of the boulder with her legs over the ledge and watches everyone below. "Everyone looks happy." Miranda says.

"They seem happy," Tony says walking up next to Miranda.

"Yeah," Miranda says. "Shouldn't you be, you know, teaching?"

"You took all my students. Not like I had any in the first place. This is all they could talk about. That they couldn't wait till free period so they can see all your pokemon," Tony says.

"Wow, really?" Miranda asks. "That's pretty cool."

"Yeah, everyone's really happy that you're here," Tony says and sits next to her. "You seem happy too."

"I guess, I am pretty happy. I'm having a lot of fun here," Miranda says.

"Well, that's good," Tony says and turns towards Lucario. "You're not gonna go down there?"

"I do not wish to interact with others. I do not gain anything from that," Lucario says.

"Tough love, huh?" Tony says and lies back against the ground and closes his eyes. "You know, believe it or not, you have a lot of fans too." Lucario gives him an annoyed scoff and turns towards the students looking at him.

Hank, Scott, Logan, and Xavier come outside and go interact with the pokemon also. It seems as if they found someone they like. Hank hangs out with Torterra. Scott hangs with Empoleon. Logan seems to get along with Garchomp and Drapion. Xavier seemed to head straight towards Gardevoir.

Bobby seems to be having an ice sculpting contest with Glaceon. Kitty is petting Glameow. Rogue and Gallade are away from the others leaning against a tree seemingly with little talking. Adam is in his phantom form and floating around with Darkrai. Hunter is having fun with Vaporeon. Levi and Flareon seem to be making different things with their fire. Kurt is playing a game of -I guess you could say - teleporting tag with Ralts. Peter is having a pushing heavy things contest with Rampardos.

The Avengers are there too, with their buddies. Clint with Staraptor. Steve with Braviary and Infernape. Thor with Luxray and Jolteon. Hulk with Eevee and Leafeon.

Some of the students are playing on Torterra's back and running around with the other pokemon. Every looks like they're having lots of fun.

"You gonna go down?" Tony asks.

"Naw, I'll stay up here," Miranda says.

"There are quite a few students who want to talk to you too," Tony says. "You should go."

"I guess..." Miranda says and stands up then she jumps down from the top of the boulder to the ground.

...

"So, how did you become the champion?"

"I trained my pokemon until they couldn't level up anymore. We all had so much fun. Of course we didn't train every single day, but in a way we kinda did," Miranda says. "So, eventually, we went to the league and dominated them! A few years later, Cynthia, decided she didn't want to be the champion anymore, so she held a competition. She called all the trainers that had defeated her and gathered them at the league. A lot of the people didn't want to carry that much on their shoulders and left. The remaining people battled it out and the last one standing won title of champion."

"You were the last one standing?"

"Yep, along with my 6 pokemon," Miranda says. Didn't I already tell them about this?

"None of your pokemon were defeated?"

"I only used one pokemon," Miranda says.

"What?"

"The only pokemon I used was Pachirisu," Miranda says.

"That's incredible! She must pack one hell of a punch!"

"Yeah, and a little sad."

"Why?"

"That nobody could even defeat one of her pokemon when they used all 6 of their's."

"Yeah, that's true."

"I was hoping for more of a challenge," Miranda says.

For the rest of free period Miranda was bombarded with questions from the students. Miranda didn't seem to mind though, she was actually happy that they were so interested in her. The pokemon seemed to have a fun time playing with the students too, as did the students. Free period comes and goes in short time. Who says time doesn't fly when you're having fun? The bell rings for the next class period and the students fan out from the lawn.

...

"Man! This is the best day ever! I only have one class today and it's my last one! My first four periods I didn't have anything but fun to do!" Levi says slumping back onto the top of the boulder.

"Too bad it's just us," Bobby says and copies Levi.

It is now 4th period when Levi and Bobby have class with Angel. Since he's not here they have the class period off. Everyone else had Logan or Scott during this period so everyone went back in besides the people that have Angel, Storm, and Jean. Leaving Bobby, Levi, and Miranda outside.

"Man... I'm exhausted..." Miranda says tiredly.

"I'm not surprised, you were pummeled with people asking you questions," Levi says.

"Yeah... No kidding..." Miranda says, closes her eyes, and lies on the ground with her arm lain across her forehead.

"Mind if I ask some questions?" Levi asks.

"Sure..." Miranda says.

"Since pokemon is based in Japan, can you speak Japanese?" Levi asks.

"I have no idea what Japan is, but yes, I speak Japanese, why?" Miranda says confused.

"Really?!" Bobby asks excitedly.

"Yeah?" Miranda says confused by why he's so excited.

"Can you speak some?" Bobby asks.

~"I don't really know what to say..."~ Miranda says.

"That's so cool! What did you say?" Levi asks.

"I said, 'I don't really know what to say...'" Miranda says.

"You're funny," Levi says and rubs Miranda's head.

"Hey! Stop! You're messing up my hair!" Miranda fusses and they all laugh.

"Alright, question two, you've been away from home for awhile now, right?" Levi asks.

"Yeah, for about a month now, I think," Miranda says.

"Aren't your parents worried about you?" Levi asks.

The pokemon all jump at this question and give Levi a death glare. Levi looks as if someone used stun spore on him.

"Don't dare ask that," Lucario says sternly.

"Lucario, it's okay, he doesn't know," Miranda says.

"What'd I say?" Levi says nervously.

"No, my parents aren't worried about. They don't even care about me," Miranda says without a hint of sadness.

"Oh... Sorry, I didn't mean..." Levi starts.

"No, it's okay. It doesn't bother me anymore," Miranda says.

"This makes us, my brothers and me, and you sort of alike. Our parents could care less about us. Once they discovered we have powers they immediately got rid of us," Levi says sadly.

"Same," Miranda says.

"We are so much alike!" Levi says happily.

"Don't go and be getting excited. This is a topic that isn't supposed to be a good thing," Bobby says still with his eyes closed and lying on the ground.

Levi's head drops hearing his words. "Yeah..." Levi says quietly.

"My brother ratted me out and the MRD came to my house. If it wasn't for Logan I would've been locked up, forever," Bobby says. "These are things you shouldn't be happy about!"

"Stop! This is no time to be mopey! We should be happy! Anyway, changing subject!" Miranda says trying to get everyone's spirits up.

"You're right..." Levi says. "Sorry. How about we do something fun?"

"Like what?" Bobby asks.

"Well, since this is supposed to be our flying class period, how about we practice?" Levi says.

"How about a nap?" Bobby suggests.

"Ooo! I would love to see you guys flying!" Miranda says excitedly.

"It's not all that interesting," Bobby says with a yawn.

"Will you show me?!" Miranda says excited.

Both boys sit up and turn into their mutant bodies. Exact opposites, a body of ice and a body of fire.

Bobby shoots ice towards the ground and glides across the ice. Levi blasts through the air. -{[(He's basically a human torch except a mutant. Let's just go with that.)]}-

"That is amazing!" Miranda shouts. She levitates up with them. "You guys never cease to amaze me."

Miranda's pokemon that are able to fly, fly up with them.

For the rest of the class period, they all fly around. Having little races and competitions.

...

The class period ends and Bobby and Levi begin to head inside for Logan's class.

"Could I go with you guys?" Miranda asks.

"I don't really think you'll want to," Bobby says.

"Yeah, Logan, he's pretty harsh," Levi says.

"So?" Miranda says.

"Alright, just don't cry. He's even harder if you cry," Bobby says.

"I think I can handle it," Miranda says.

"Alright then, follow us," Bobby says.

They all get their things and walk into the school.

"Kitty, Peter, Me, and Bobby, all have Logan now," Levi says.

...

When they walk into the danger room and right when Miranda walks into the room she's jumped on, by Kitty.

"Why would you wanna come here? This class isn't fun!" Kitty fusses.

"I wanted to see what it was like," Miranda says.

"No, get out of here while you still can!" Kitty fusses and trys pushing her out the room. Failing to move her she falls to her knees. "Man, you're tough to move..."

"It's not that bad," Peter says walking up behind them.

"Alright! Everyone line up!" Logan yells over everyone.

"Ah! Too late!" Kitty says and runs to line up. The others follow behind her.

Miranda ends up on the end next to Levi and beside her is Lucario.

"We are just gonna begin with a simulation today," Logan says. He looks at the students and his eyes land on Miranda. "You won't be participating. You're to strong for this," Logan says.

"True," Bobby says looking over at Miranda.

"Alright," Miranda says. "So, what do I do instead?"

"Come over here," Steve calls out from the place he's at.

"Yeah, go over to Steve," Logan says.

Miranda and Lucario walk up to Steve and lean against the wall next to him.

"Aren't you supposed to be helping him?" Miranda asks.

"I will when they begin," Steve says slightly annoyed.

"So basically he's not letting you?" Miranda says.

"You got me," Steve says.

"Figures as much. He seems like he only wants to do things his way," Miranda says.

"That's because he is," Steve says. "He's always been that way."

"I don't think I could handle a person like that without wanting to punch them in the face," Miranda says.

"What?!" Steve says shocked that just came from her mouth.

She turns and looks at him with cold eyes then they perk up. "Haha, just kidding!" Miranda says.

"Yeah... haha," Steve says unsure of what to say.

The room turns into a battleground and they both tumble back a little from the wall disappearing behind them. They both laugh.

"Well, there they go," Miranda says. "Should I put up a force field or something?"

"No, I think we'll be fine," Steve says.

The students all are fighting against figures and dodging lasers shot at them. They constantly get yelled at by Logan.

"Well, I'm gonna go. I'm bored," Miranda says.

"You can't leave until it's over," Steve says.

"Remember, I can teleport," Miranda says.

"Oh, right," Steve says. "Well, see you later."

"Bye!" Miranda says. She grabs Lucario's arm and they vanish.

...

Miranda teleports to the boulder.

"It would be nice if you give me some warning before you just teleport like that," Lucario says annoyed.

"Haha, sorry," Miranda says. She looks down towards Tony's area. "Should we go see what Tony's up to?"

"I don't care. Do what you please," Lucario says.

"Great!" Miranda says and grabs Lucario's arm again then teleports to Tony.

...

"Ahh!" Tony shouts.

Miranda appeared right in front of him causing him to shout. Miranda laughs along with the students. "Did I scare you? Sorry," Miranda says.

"I don't think you mean that sorry," Tony says picking up what he dropped.

"You're right I don't. That was pretty funny," Miranda says.

"As I have just said this do not just teleport me like that give me som-" Lucario says, but gets cut off.

"Miranda!" Kurt says. "Over here!"

Miranda turns around to see Kurt and Rogue there. "Oh hey, guys," she says.

"Hey," Rogue says.

Miranda walks over to them and sits with them. "Whatcha guys doing?" she asks.

"Learning about technology," Kurt says.

"Hey, can I ask you guys something?" Miranda asks.

"Sure," Kurt says.

"How are you guys brother and sister?" Miranda asks.

They go completely silent and just stare at her with utter disbelief.

"Who told you that?" Rogue asks.

"Your mind," Miranda says. "Sorry... It was when I couldn't control me reading minds..."

"Vwhen vyou vwere at vee Brotherhood's place did you see a blue lady?" Kurt asks.

"I saw two blue women," Miranda says.

"The one with orange hair," Rogue says.

"Yeah... What was her name... Mystique?" Miranda says.

"Yeah, that's my mother," Kurt says.

"No way!" Miranda says completely taken aback.

"She's my foster mother. We aren't blood related, but we consider each other siblings," Rogue says.

"Wow, that's crazy," Miranda says.

"We couldn't believe it either, when we first found out," Rogue says.

"Wow, what a trip," Miranda says.

"Connect this wire to this and twist it around this wire," Tony says showing how to put some kinda technology together.

Rogue and Kurt go back to putting their whatever it is with Tony and Sparks goes to hang with Tony while Miranda sneaks away.

...

"Where are we going now?" Lucario asks.

"Didn't Hunter and Adam say they had Scott this period? I wanted to meet this Scott person. You know, since I'm supposed to be exploring the different classes," Miranda says.

"Do you have any idea where it is?" Lucario asks.

"No clue," Miranda says.

"I was afraid you were gonna say that..." Lucario says.

"Well, we better start searching!" Miranda says confidently.

*sigh* "Alright, let's go..." Lucario says tiredly.

A little while later...

"I have no idea where to go..." Miranda says exhausted.

"Shall we ask someone where the class is?" Lucario suggests.

"Maybe we should..." Miranda says and looks around. "And who exactly would we ask?"

"I don't know. I was just giving a suggestion," Lucario says annoyed.

Miranda laughs. "Alright smartypants, let's go find Luxray."

They walk around some more trying to find Luxray when they find her in the kitchen... again... with Thor.

"There she is!" Miranda announces.

"I assure thee that I am not a she!" Thor fusses turning towards Miranda.

"Not you Goldilocks," Miranda says. "Luxray."

"Oh, okay... wait! Don't call me that!" Thor says annoyed.

Miranda totally ignores him and walks straight up to Luxray. "I need you find someone," Miranda says and scratches Luxray's head. "I need you to find Scott."

Luxray's eyes glow yellow and walks out the room. Miranda and Lucario follow her out. Luxray turns corners left and right then finally stops right in front of some double doors.

"Is this where he is?" Miranda asks. Luxray nods and Miranda pushes open the door.

Beyond the door stand Scott, Adam, Hunter, and the other students. A couple of students are working together to try to get what looks like a person about to get crushed by a giant machine and some students are holding them back to prevent them from getting to them. -{[(Kinda like in Sky High... If you've never seen that movie you need to, it's really good.)]}-

I guess those are the 'heroes' and those are the 'villains'?Miranda looks around the room it appears to be a gym. Someone grabs Miranda's arm.

"Hey! Come over here!" Adam says taking her to the bleachers where Hunter is.

"Hey, what's going on?" Miranda asks. "Is this some kinda training thing?"

"Yes," Hunter says.

"This is to help people work together and combine their moves and what not," Adam says. "You're supposed to save the person before time runs out."

"That's not a real person is it?" Miranda asks.

"No, it's not. Don't worry," Adam says.

"It really just shows who works together best and how to make each other compliment one another," Hunter says.

"Looks like fun," Miranda says.

"It is but at the same time it's not," Hunter says.

"Yeah, I can imagine that," Miranda says.

They continue to watch and the 'heroes' win and they begin to ask for volunteers.

"Hey, Miranda? How bout you and I go for a round?" Hunter asks.

"Really? Can I?" Miranda asks excitedly.

"I don't see why not," Hunter says and raises his hand. "Raise your hand."

Miranda raises her hand along with Hunter's and they are called on by Scott.

"Both of you?" Scott asks from his chair.

"Yes," they both say.

"Alright, you're the villains now," Scott says.

"Well, I didn't wanna be the villains," Miranda says defeatedly.

"Doesn't matter. Let's win," Hunter says and begins to walk down.

"Alright..." Miranda says and walks after him.

...

"So, we just gotta stall them until the time runs out?" Miranda asks.

"That's right," Hunter says.

"That should be easy enough," Miranda says.

"You would think," Hunter says and gets into his wolf form. -{[(He's not like a full on dog. He's like still the human figure, but with a furry face, ears, and claws, etc.)]}-Miranda looks at him with awe for a little while when he turns to look at her. "What?"

"S-sorry! You just look so cool," Miranda says shyly.

"Oh... Haha, thanks," Hunter says and scratches behind his head awkwardly. "Now, the two people we are going against are the best at this game, they've never lost. Just a fair warning. Flare shoots fire and Keith has superspeed."

"I think I will be okay," Miranda says.

"Playing as the heroes will be Flare and Keith. Playing as the villains are Miranda and Hunter. 3... 2... 1... Begin!" Scott yells and the timer begins. The timer begins at 5:00 then 4:59 and so on.

Keith begins to run towards the fake person. Miranda quickly multiplies and blocks the area where the fake person is caught. Keith makes a turn away from her. He runs around the court then straight back towards Miranda. She blocks him with a force field pushing him back.

"Now this is a challenge!" Keith says determined and runs up one of the pillars on the court floor. He jumps towards the fake person but Miranda blocks him and pushes him all the way to the other side of the court.

Meanwhile on Hunter's view...

Hunter jumps and flips dodging all of Flare's fireballs. Hunter sees an opening and lurches towards Flare mouth open ready to bite. Flare fires up a fire ball and shoots it right into his mouth. Hunter jerks back and accidentally swallows the fireball. Flare gives him a smirk and Hunter holds his stomach then realizes it doesn't hurt. That's when his body bursts into fire. All his fur turned into fire fur and his whole body transforms into a fire wolf.

Flare jolts back with surprise. "What the hell?"

"I never knew that I could do this..." Hunter says looking at his transformed body. "Well, then again I don't go around eating fire." He bunches up the fire in his mouth and shoots it towards Flare. "Like a flamethrower, this makes things... interesting." Hunter gives a wry smile.

...

Miranda continues to push back Keith and begins to get bored. She looks around the room and sees Hunter light up on fire, after getting fire shot into his mouth. He begins to shoot fire from his mouth. I never knew he could do that... She then turns her attention back towards Keith.

Keith picks up his speed and takes out the 10 Miranda's leaving the original, real one. 2:30 reads the count down. Keith races towards the fake person and Miranda telekinetically picks him up and flicks him towards Flare. They get knocked into each other and tumble to the floor.

Miranda runs up to Hunter. "Looks like you learned something new," Miranda says.

"Haha, yeah, I did," Hunter says.

"Oh! I know!" Miranda says while watching Flare and Keith slowly get up. "If I give you water maybe you will transform into a water wolf! Then you can put her out."

"Yeah!" Hunter says and opens his mouth. Miranda shoots a ball of water into his mouth and he bursts. Now everything that was fire is now water. "It worked! Perfect!" He turns towards the two now fully up and shoots a giant ball of water at Flare.

Keith trys to grab Flare but is too late. She's soaked. Keith quickly runs around her to dry her off but Miranda flicks him to the other side of the court. She follows him to guard the fake person from being saved.

Flare gets just dry enough and lights back up. She sends a blast of fire (flamethrower) towards Hunter and he shoots a blast of water (hydro pump). The attacks meet in the middle and neither are advancing towards one another. The whole room lights up from the two colliding powers. 1:00 minute left on the clock.

Miranda lets her guard down for a second and gets her feet wiped out from underneath her. She falls to the floor with a thump and Keith runs towards the fake person. Miranda teleports to the front of him causing him to fall on his butt. 40 seconds on the clock. Miranda finally wraps him up with her plant powers, wrapping vines around him to keep him from moving.

She walks over to where Hunter is. "Need a little extra water power?" Miranda asks and Hunter nods his head, after looking to see what happened to Keith, then snickers. Miranda stands right next to Hunter and combines her own water with his. Flare's flame gets pushed away and their combined water attack hits her head on, causing her to be thrown back to the wall and you can literally see the swirls in her eyes.

The timer reaches 0 and an alarm rings throughout the gym. They turn around and watch the fake person get sawed into pieces. "That's just a little over the top..." Miranda says watching with frightened eyes.

"The winners go to the villains, congratulations," Scott says.

Miranda walks up towards Keith and untangles him. "No hard feelings?" Miranda says.

Keith laughs. "That was fun! Finally, somebody defeated us! It was getting boring always winning. Good game," Keith says happily.

"You were pretty slick. You're good too," Miranda says and gives out her hand to pull him up. He takes it and is pulled up to his feet.

"So, you're the girl with the pokemon. It is nice to finally meet you. I'm Keith, if you haven't figured that out yet," Keith says with a big smile. Keith has a soft expression; he has brown hair and green eyes. Actually, he would be considered pretty hot.

"Yeah, that would be me. I'm Miranda," Miranda says. "Nice to meet you too."

Hunter comes walking over with Flare.

"Good game," Flare says. "I'm Flare, if you didn't know." Flare has red hair kinda like Mars' but a little longer and red eyes.

"You too. I'm Miranda," Miranda says.

"I know your name. You're all anyone can talk about. You're quite the popular girl," Flare says.

"You're the topic going around school," Keith says.

"That's a little nerve racking..." Miranda says.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, see ya," Flare says grabbing Keith and walking back towards the bleachers after being signaled by Scott to get off.

"Now what?" Miranda asks turning towards Hunter.

"We go against another group of 'heroes'. While we stay the villains," Hunter says.

"What? I don't wanna to do another one now. Maybe after another group goes but not right after," Miranda says annoyed.

"That's the way things go. Get ready for another game," Hunter says.

"Arghh..." Miranda says.

...

20 minutes later the period ends and Miranda plops onto the floor.

"We beat all of them!" Hunter says while jumping up and down.

"How do you still have that much energy?" Miranda asks.

"I'm happy! I learned something new about my power and I won every game I was in. Of course I'm full of energy!" Hunter says happily.

Miranda smiles and jumps up from the floor. "You're right!"

Adam walks down to the two of them. "Congrats! You won all of the games and you learned something new!"

"Yep!" Hunter says.

"Is the day over?" Lucario asks.

Luxray walks up to Miranda and she pets her. "How'd I do?" Luxray responds by happily rubbing against Miranda's legs.

"Yeah, it's finally the end of the day," Adam says.

Hunter returns to a full human body and they all leave the room.

"So what do we do now?" Miranda asks.

"School's out so whatever," Hunter says.

"What are you guys going to do?" Miranda asks.

"I'm gonna go study," Adam says.

"Of course you are..." Hunter says.

"Bye," Adam says and turns down a hallway. Luxray goes off to find Thor.

"I will be back. I must ask Xavier something," Lucario says.

"Oh, okay," Miranda says and watches Lucario head towards Xavier's office. Miranda and Hunter are the only two left.

Miranda turns towards Hunter. "What about you?" Miranda asks.

"I'm not doing anything special," Hunter says. "Hey... wanna go out?"

"What!?" Miranda says shocked.

"No, no! Not like that! I mean like someplace besides the school! Like out to eat or something! Like to celebrate our wins!" Hunter says freaking out. Even though I would rather have it that way, that way would be better... *Rumble* "I'm starving..."

"Oh... You scared me... Sure! That sounds fun. I'm hungry too," Miranda says. *Rumble*

They look at each other and laugh.

"Guess so," Hunter says.

"Should we go find the others?" Miranda asks.

"Naw, they probably are doing something else," Hunter says. I don't want anyone else to come. Just you and me.

"Oh, okay!" Miranda says.

...

The day before...

"Sir, the girl escaped again," Coulson says.

"She's managed to get away from you not once, twice, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, but nine times?! Once was incredible, but this is starting to get ridiculous. This girl is apparently too much for you both to handle. I will have to call in more agents," Fury says.

"I understand," Widow says.

"Tomorrow I want you to go back to the mall at the same time you found her there," Fury says.

"Sir!" Coulson and Widow say.

...

The food court at the mall...

"We've been here for 3 hours and haven't spotted the girl. This is getting pointless," Widow says.

"We have to be here until the mall closes," Coulson says.

"It's 4 o'clock, when does the mall close?" Widow asks.

"9," Coulson says.

"Urghhh..." Widow says and smacks her head down onto the table.

...

Somewhere else in the mall...

Miranda is wearing the glasses that she wore last time and has her hair in a ponytail.

"You look a lot different," Hunter says.

"Good," Miranda says. "Why are we here again?"

"This is where we eat. This is where most of the food joints are around here. At least decent ones," Hunter says.

"Oh, alright," Miranda says. "So, what's the name?"

"Arbys," Hunter says.

"What's that?" Miranda asks.

"Roast beef," Hunter says.

"I love roast beef!" Miranda exclaims.

"Good, then you'll like this place," Hunter says. They walk into the food court and walk straight up to Arbys. "Two max roast beef's with curly fries and two vanilla shakes."

"Coming right up."

Miranda takes out her money and Hunter stops her. "I'll pay for it."

"But-" Miranda fusses.

"I got it," Hunter says and hands the man the money.

They get their order and sit down at the corner of the food court. Half of the food court is marked off for renovations for the fight yesterday. Construction workers are everywhere.

"You caused a lot of damage," Hunter says looking around the room.

"Yeah... I didn't mean to," Miranda says ashamed.

"Anyway, how's your sandwich?" Hunter asks.

"Oh! I haven't tried it yet," Miranda says and flicks off the bun and just eats the meat. She makes a big smile. "Mmmm..."

Hunter laughs. "You're funny. Why do you not eat the bread?"

"I don't like sandwiches. I usually just eat the meat," Miranda says.

"You are extraordinary," Hunter says with a laugh and takes a bite of his sandwich.

...

"Where did my master go?" Lucario asks to nobody in particular. He looks all over when he finds Tony. "Have you seen my master?"

Tony snickers. "That sounds weird," he says. "Anyway, no, I haven't seen her. I thought she was always with you," Tony says. "Or I guess it's more like you're always with her."

"No, she's not with me, obviously," Lucario says. "That's why I'm asking you. Whatever, help me find her."

"You can't tell me what to do," Tony says imitating Lucario from when he did it to him. He begins to look around.

"This is no time to be a hard ass. Just do it," Lucario says imitating Tony from the same time. "You care for her don't you? Then help me."

"What do you think I'm doing?" Tony says.

"I thought that you were just being stupid and randomly looking around," Lucario says snidely.

...

"I don't think she's coming, let's go," Widow says standing up.

"Wait," Coulson says and puts his hand up to her. "Sit down."

"She's not coming," Widow says and sits back down.

"In the corner at 1 o'clock. I've been watching them. It looks like her," Coulson says.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Widow asks annoyed.

"Because if I told you, you would have shot at her and it might not even be her," Coulson says. "I'm not so sure she's with a boy."

Widow turns to glance at them and quickly turns back. "That is her."

"We can't be too sure. The creatures are not with her," Phil says.

"That doesn't mean it's not her," Widow says. "She's wearing sunglasses and it's not even sunny in here. She's obviously hiding her eyes and, how many young girls actually have silver hair?"

Phil takes out a machine and a small, plastic bag. He sets the machine on the table and opens up the plastic bag. Inside the bag is a strand of silver hair. He puts the hair into the machine and flicks the on switch. He then aims it towards the girl. The machine beeps.

"It's her," Phil says.

"I told you so," Widow says. She aims her blaster at her and shoots releasing an invisible ball of energy.

...

Miranda and Hunter finish their food and begin to chat. When a black and red figure appears in front of Miranda.

"Darkrai!?" Miranda says shocked. Darkrai begins a dark pulse attack and shoots. An explosion forms a couple feet from them. All the people in the room begin to scream and run out the food court. "You protected us? From what though?" She looks around the room and spots Widow and Phil, the only people not running and screaming. She grabs Hunter's hand. "We need to go!"

"Y-yeah okay!" Hunter says.

They both stand up from the table and run. "Darkrai! Come on!" Miranda shouts.

...

Widow clicks her tongue. "Such a pain in the ass. With all these people frolicking around I can't get a clear shot," Widow says a little pissed off.

"She's on the run!" Coulson says.

"Great!" Widow says sarcastically.

...

Darkrai doesn't move. "I don't wanna run," Darkrai says.

Miranda stops in her tracks. "You wanna battle?"

"Yes..." Darkrai says.

"Alright! Dark void on Widow and Coulson!" Miranda shouts.

Darkrai puts its hands together and forms a purple and black ball in his hands. He then fires it at the two of them. They try to dodge it, but are hit and a pink bubble appears around their bodies that soon disappear and they fall to the floor in a deep sleep.

...

"What the hell!? Dodge it!" Widow yells and they both get hit at the same time.

The bubble surrounds them and next thing they know they are in a world of darkness.

...

"Thanks, Darkrai," Miranda says. "I didn't sense it coming. Luckily you were here."

"I saw you leaving so I decided to follow you..." Darkrai says.

"Good thing you did. We would've been toast," Hunter says.

"Well, disappear before someone sees you," Miranda says.

"Not until that stops," Darkrai says and points towards Miranda and Hunter's hands, that are still holding each other.

At the same time they look and then quickly release each other's hands. They turn away from each other with deep red faces. Darkrai snickers and disappears.

Then they both laugh. "Sorry, I didn't mean to keep holding your hand," Miranda says.

"I didn't mind. I didn't even realize it till Darkrai pointed it out," Hunter says shyly.

"Same," Miranda says. "Anyway, I guess we should head back to the mansion. I'm gonna get a mouth full from Lucario. How much you wanna bet?"

"I wouldn't doubt it," Hunter says with a laugh.

"I guess we should teleport out of here. If they see us just walk out of here people will be suspicious," Miranda says.

"Yeah, I guess so," Hunter says.

Miranda grabs his shoulders. "Ready?" she asks.

"F-for what?" Hunter says nervously.

"To teleport silly!" Miranda says.

"Oh! Yeah," Hunter says.

"Alright!" Miranda says and they vanish.

...

After they get in the car and leave the mall, they return to the mansion at 7:07. Right when they leave the parking garage they head to the lobby area and right when they get there they are greeted by many unhappy faces.

"Where were you!?" Kitty yells. "You have the whole mansion wound up! We all were panicked running around the mansion to find you two!"

"Honestly, what a pain," Rogue says.

"The whole school is looking for you both," Steve says.

"I can't believe this," Adam says. "I wasted my time from studying for this!"

"Why didn't you tell anybody?" Tony asks.

"You could've waited till I came back," Lucario says.

"We began to think that SHIELD might have taken you!" Levi says.

"Wait! Did you two go on a date!?" Kitty says excitedly and changes the topic.

"What?!" Lucario and Tony both say angrily.

"No!" Miranda and Hunter yell at the same time.

"We didn't eat lunch and were hungry, so we went to Arbys," Hunter says. "That's it I swear."

"Despite having SHIELD show up..." Miranda says quietly.

"SHIELD vreally vwas vwith you?" Kurt asks.

"Yeah, Widow and Coulson, they shot at us, but Darkrai randomly showed up and saved us. He put them to sleep, a deep sleep," Miranda says saying the last part a little evilly. "They won't bother us for a while. Nobody will be able to get those two up for quite a while. You don't have that kinda power."

"Did you use dark void on them?!" Bobby asks.

"Yeah," Miranda says.

"Whoa..." Bobby says. That power really exists... Bobby shutters.

Everyone runs up them and give them a group hug. "Glad you guys are alright."

"You guys are worrywarts," Miranda says. "I'm pretty sure we can handle ourselves."

"Seriously though," Hunter agrees with Miranda. "Get off me."

"It's almost time for dinner, so don't vanish again," Kitty says.

"Yeah, yeah," we both say.

Rogue, Kitty, Bobby, and Kurt leave towards the kitchen.

"You're an idiot," Adam says and leaves towards his room to study.

"Glad you're okay bro. You too Miranda," Levi says and grabs Hunter. "Come on, Xavier wants to see you." They both leave and Tony, Lucario, Sparks, and Steve are left with angry faces.

"Chu chu pah chu pah pah pah chuuu," Sparks says to Miranda.

"I know, I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone," Miranda says.

"Chuu pah chu chu paah," Sparks says.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Miranda asks.

"Chuu!" Sparks fusses.

"Okay, okay, I will get some chocolate syrup next time I go out," Miranda says.

Throughout their conversation, Tony and Steve are looking back and forth between them wondering what's going on.

"How do you know what she's saying?" Steve asks.

"I can talk to pokemon. Didn't I tell you that? I swear I did... Anyway, it's a special talent. About 1 in a million are able to. I was able to do this before I even learned of my powers," Miranda says.

"Why would you leave without telling anyone?!" Lucario asks in a frightening tone.

"I didn't think this would happen!" Miranda complains. "Whatever, I'm gonna go take a nap." She turns and walks the way to her room with Sparks occupied on her shoulder.

"Does she do this often?" Steve asks.

"Yes, sometimes she will sneak away from the league to hang out in the middle of no where. I don't know why she does it, but it seems as if she likes to be alone sometimes. Except she wasn't alone this time. She's an outcast back at home. She has no friends because she's the champion. People will suck up to her because of it, so nobody's really a friend. We can't trust anyone but ourselves. That's one reason why we didn't want to trust you," Lucario says then follows after Miranda to her room.

"That's terrible," Steve says.

"It really is," Tony says. "I've decided I'm gonna get her a phone."

"And how exactly are you gonna do that?" Steve asks with an almost annoyed tone.

"I have no idea!" Tony says.

"Of course not..." Steve says.

...

An hour later...

Miranda gets up from her nap to answer the person knocking on the door. "Who is it, Luxray?"

Luxray's eyes glow yellow then looks to the door. "Lux Luxray."

"Thanks," Miranda says and walks to the door. "Hello, Hunter." She says before even opening the door.

"How'd you know?" Hunter asks.

"Luxray has x-ray vision," Miranda says.

"Oh," Hunter says. "Well, I've come to tell you that dinner's ready. We are just waiting for your special tablet and you."

Miranda walks back into her room and grabs a tablet. "You all ready to eat?" Miranda asks all her pokemon in the room.

They all make sounds of joy and everyone leaves the room.

...

Jean, Storm, and Angel come back from their accomplished mission and joins everyone for dinner. After dinner everyone heads straight to their rooms and goes to sleep. Seems as if each pokemon has found a special friend, so each pokemon heads off to spend the night with who they want after Miranda gave the a-ok.

Clint and Staraptor like before. Along with Steve, Braviary, and Infernape. Hulk with Leafeon and Eevee. Thor, Jolteon, and Luxray. Tony with Pachirisu, Umbreon, and Lopunny minus Glaceon.

Bobby ended up with Glaceon. Kitty and Glameow. Rogue and Gallade, no surprise, they're both kinda downers. Adam and Darkrai. Hunter and Vaporeon. Levi and Flareon. Kurt and Ralts. Peter and Rampardos.

Espeon and Jean really connected. Storm and Shaymin liked talking to each other. Angel with Azelf and Mesprit seemed to have fun flying together. Hank and Torterra, surprisingly Hank's room was perfect size for Torterra. Logan seemed to get along with the bigger guys Garchomp and Drapion, also both surprisingly fit in his room. Scott and Empoleon. Xavier and Gardevoir, no surprise there either.

Miranda had only one pokemon in her room and that of course was Lucario.

Once Lucario was asleep and Miranda made sure, she teleported herself outside.

Once outside Miranda teleported to the top of the boulder. On top she laid back and looked up at all the stars. The breeze felt nice and the scene was just right. It was nice for about 10 minutes, that is until a certain somebody came onto the boulder too.

"Master? Why do you always go out alone like this?" Lucario asks.

"There are times when alone is the best place to be," Miranda says.

"But why?" Lucario asks not fully understanding.

"Sometimes you just need a little bit of alone time for yourself to clear up your mind and see things from a new perspective," Miranda says. "And that's exactly what I'm doing."

"I've never thought of that. All the time I was alone and all I ever yearned for was to not be alone. I figured since that is basically your story too, I figured you felt the same," Lucario says.

"I do feel the same, but everyone needs to be alone for a little while," Miranda says. "Anyway, let's go back to the room and go to bed."

Lucario looks up at the sky. "Alright," he says and they return to their room.

...-...

OMG! Finally finished it! This is the longest chapter so far! I'm so so so sorry it took so long! Trust me I was writing a little bit everyday I got home. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Chapter 14 coming out with some new friends.

Spiderman: Am I gonna be one of the new friends?

Me: No.

Spiderman: Nobody loves me... *goes and sits in the corner and sobs*

Miranda: They will be some more of my pokemon!

Me: You weren't supposed to tell them that. It was supposed to be a surprise...

Hill: Am I ever gonna be in this story?

Hill: *goes to pout in the corner with Spiderman*

Scott: Will I get more time?

Angel: And me?

Storm: What about me?

Peter: And I?

Azelf: Yeah!

Uxie: Shut up, at least you guys have been found!

Me: *shrinks down into tiny hole...* Ughhh... Please review...
