Standing in the kitchen in her bare feet Julie wiggled her toes. The tile floor was cold and she yawned as she opened the fridge. It was 2:33 in the morning and she couldn't sleep. She hadn't slept very well the last few nights. Something was troubling her. Something had been tugging at her mind for the longest time and she thought it might've been one of her students. One of her students was struggling and she had been trying so hard to get through to the kid. The girl was tough as nails but she didn't want to be taught home economics. In reality Julie thought it was one of the most important classes taught at the school.
It showed mutant kids how to look out for themselves. It wasn't just cooking and sewing but it taught more than that. Julie liked to teach her students how to stay hidden. How to go out for food when it was safe and how to recognize when someone was going to attack you. Things that these kids honestly needed when they left this place. If they ever did. It was a said state of the world that people would just attack for simply being different but she knew it was true. Not everyone was blessed with a good heart.
Pulling a few things out of the fridge Julie started to make a sandwich. Her classes were over until Monday morning. She had a busy day ahead of her tomorrow grading papers and generally lazing about the mansion. She was just so tired. Not only was she the head home economics teacher but she was also leader of the X-Team. She wouldn't get to much time tomorrow to laze about as she had to run training sessions most of the day tomorrow. She wasn't much of a fighter. Her abilities were great but Julie didn't like violence. Not really. She spread mayo onto her sandwich as she yawned again. Turning to the sound of a new person entering the room. A bit of blush touched her cheeks as she saw it was Sarah. The art Teacher. I wonder what she's doing up at this hour she thought.
Turning back to her sandwich Julie spoke over her shoulder. "Late night?" Her voice was soft and sweet and quiet honestly shy. She had known Sarah only a short time. But what she knew of her was steeped in mystery. They hadn't had much time to actually get to know each other, but she could tell by the sideways glances that she had noticed Julie.

Turning back to her sandwich Julie spoke over her shoulder. "Late night?" Her voice was soft and sweet and quiet honestly shy. She had known Sarah only a short time. But what she knew of her was steeped in mystery. They hadn't had much time to actually get to know each other, but she could tell by the sideways glances that she had noticed Julie.
"Couldn't sleep," Sarah replied, smiling as she grabbed an ice-cold bottle of water and popped the cap open, drinking deeply from it. Dressed in a tight-fitting shirt and hi-cut shorts, she looked every bit the athlete she was, a trait that dovetailed with her cryokinetic combat skills and although she wasn't a member of the X-Team, she could be counted on to fight when the chips were down.
Taking another long drink of water, Sarah looked over at Julie; although they'd only known each for a few weeks, there seemed to be something there, a connection of sorts, that Sarah felt, like when someone is looking for someone special to share their life with and just when you think you'll never find them, they cross your path suddenly, like a gift from the heavens. That was how Sarah looked at their relationship; every day, she felt, was like a gift, not to be wasted or squandered...which, ironically, Sarah thought, was something she taught her students in the Art and Art History classes she taught at the School. Treat everyday as if its' your last on this Earth; live life to the fullest, every single day, and you'll be surprised at where life takes you.
As for her own classes, Sarah - known for being a strict instructor by the School's standards - had decided to give her students the weekend off: no homework assignments, nothing to study for Monday. To her way of thinking, you couldn't work students too hard or else you'd burn them up over time; better to let them have the occasional bit of time off, provided they came in Monday ready to go once again.
Hearing Julie's sweet, yet pleasantly shy voice, Sarah put down the bottle of water and wrapped her arms around Julie, drawing her close to her, the radiance of the younger woman a nice contrast to the coolness of her own older self. "Like I said, I couldn't sleep," Sarah whispered, "wasn't for lack of effort, though," she quipped, resting her head on Julie's shoulder as she stood right up next to her, holding her closely. "So, what do you got planned for tomorrow, babe?" Sarah asked.

Julie wasn't completely used to the idea of being in a relationship. Honestly it kind of shocked her how quickly she had settled into the new role. She felt the warm embrace of Sara behind her. "Wha...what are you doing?" She asked playfully. "The students could come in and catch us." She knew where this was heading. Sarah wasn't shy about what she wanted and Julie was happily submissive to her. With a sandwich in hand Julie turned around in Sarah's arms to face her. A smile touching the corners of her lips as her eyes bounced around Sarah's face, searching for a meaning behind it.
Julie was a soft hearted ball of brilliant light. Warm and amazing Julie was kind to everyone she ever met. And though she didn't know Sarah as well as she wanted too in the time they had spent together it was the honest warmth of Sarah's heart that first caught Julie's attention. You can lie with your words and you can lie with your actions, but there was no lying with your heart. Julie's ability to sense light and manipulate it went deeper than that. She could sense people's inherent goodness that lied within their heart. The more honest and pure a person's heart.... The more light she was able to pull from their heart and mold and manipulate. Bet you didn't know people's hearts had light in them? They did. It was part of their essence, their aura. People with dark hearts were the worst kinds of people. They were the people the X-Team sought to stop.
Swimming around in her arms in order to face her, Julie snaked her arms around Sarah's neck. Her arms hanging lightly as Sarah's blonde hair lying against her wrist. Julie leaned in and kissed her lips lightly, just a taste. Looking around to make sure no students were out of bed and wondering around Julie allowed her body to ease back into the counter. She liked the idea of Sarah taking control. She liked the idea of being that completely vulnerable with another person. She spent so much of her life with her walls up and guarded.... To allow that much control to another person was absolutely liberating. She held her breath as she waited. The back of her pink tank top rising slightly against the counter top as she waited with high hopes.
Julie was wearing light pink shorts that were rather high up on her thigh. They had the X-Logo on them but they were not official appareal. They were just something that was cute that she had made in one of her home economics classes during sewing time. "Your students.... You gave them the weekend off right?" Julie made a pouting face. "I'm so busy this weekend. It's really not fair." She pouted a little more. Puffing out her lower lip and trying to look as cute as she could. She couldn't help but have that Georgia accent slip out whenever she spoke. "Can't we spend a little time together before the weekend is over?"

"I know," Sarah replied as Julie turned to look at her, Sarah's arms still locked around her in a close embrace, Julie's arms looping around Sarah's neck as they backed up to the counter, "but that's what makes it so exciting, the risk, the excitement: the thrill of knowing someone could walk in and catch us like this," pausing as they kissed, their lips dancing across the other's in a tender touch. But it wasn't just being a risk-taker that thrilled Sarah so much; it was the idea of going out onto the razor's edge and dancing out there, knowing the least slip could cause disaster. Its' what gave her such a dominant personality; knowing that you could go out to the edge, life live to the fullest and then return back to sanity confident in the knowledge that nothing bad was going to happen to you. Nothing, whatsoever.
It was their personalities, though, that made their relationship what it was; they both had their foibles but there was no doubt who the dominant and the submissive were, absolutely no doubt. What had attracted Sarah the most about Julie was her warmth, her willingness to try new things, to explore her limits and it was their that Sarah's heart truly shined; although Sarah was the dominant in their relationship, her heart was open to the beauty of Julie's own life experiences and to the idea that if you were willing to live life to the fullest, Sarah would always be there for you, no matter what.
Resting her hands right in the center of Julie's back, they continued to embrace as she listened to Julie... "Your students.... You gave them the weekend off right?" Julie made a pouting face. "I'm so busy this weekend. It's really not fair." She pouted a little more. Puffing out her lower lip and trying to look as cute as she could. She couldn't help but have that Georgia accent slip out whenever she spoke. "Can't we spend a little time together before the weekend is over?"
Leaning in, Sarah nipped at her nose and then planted a long kiss on her lips. "Yeah; I'd been riding them hard the past few weeks and I kinda' figured they needed a few days to rest and recharge their batteries," squeezing Julie closer to her. Sarah chuckled lightly at the sight of Julie pouting; it was a delightful look that simply added to her beauty. "Plus I needed to recharge as well; one can only go all-out for so long before even I have to pause for a moment," leaning forward to nip and kiss at Julie's shoulder and the tender space between her shoulder and neck. "Time is but a construct...I've got a few ideas, though, darling," Sarah whispered, adding with a seductive tone, "but right now, I believe there's a bed calling our names..."

Sarah had leaned in and pressed her lips to Julie's again. When their lips parted Julie blew out a breath of frosty ice. The way your breath is visible on cold winter nights. She would never be used to that. Sarah had a warm soul but she was always cold. What was the worst was at night when her cold feet ran up the side of your leg. Julie didn't mind that much. "You're so cold sugar. Come'on lemme warm you up." She suggested timidly. It wasn't her place to suggest it. She hadn't been given permission, but Julie reveled in the struggle. She liked to try and seize tiny bits of control and was thrilled when her strict disciplinarian put her back in her place.
There was an honest love there. Something Julie had not felt in a long time. She missed her brothers back home in Georgia but she knew that being in the Xavier school was always the place for her. She liked being able to reach out and help other mutants and though her brothers were always supported of her abilities her parents....Well, they were a different story. Julie wasn't so warmly received by her parents when they found out about her mutations. Julie didn't know about Sarah's family. She had never really talked about it with her. She wished that Sarah would open up to her more. To let her in just the tiniest bit. But Sarah was so guarded and harsh. She cared for her a lot but she could tell that sometimes Sarah held back.
Julie nodded and bit her lips as Sarah suggested a bed. It was better than being caught exposed in the kitchen. Teenage boys and girls didn't need to see any of their private intimacy and neither did anyone else for that matter. Julie had given herself to Sarah and it was special, but it was only for Sarah. She wasn't ashamed of their relationship and everyone in the Xavier school knew of them being an item but she didn't flaunt it. Not when she was supposed to be the example set for the younger generation. Instead Julie put a limit on their PDA most times... Other times she found it hard to control herself.
Reaching out Julie's hand cupped around Sarah's breast bone. A soft glow warmed her hand as she pulled a bit of Sarah's light from her heart. It wasn't much, only a little and pulling it from her heart did nothing to diminish the warmth and goodness that lied there. It wasn't as if taking some of her light would suddenly make her evil. It did not work that way. Julie twirled her fingers in the air and shaped the light into the shape of a glowing heart. It bounced and floated around their heads for a moment before moving silently down the hallway. Lighting their path as they moved through the common areas and up the stairs to the dormatories.
They had actually started living together. The two of them sharing one dorm room. It wasn't as cramped as it sounded. The dorms were two bedrooms and quite spacious. At least their was. It had a small kitchen and a lovely balcony. Yes, Julie had found herself with the mack daddy suite of all dorms, but it was cozy. Making their way upstairs Julie happily followed, being tugged along down the hallway until they found their way to their dorm. Julie leaned against the door, her finger itching and trailing along the woodgrain as she waited impatiently. Bashfully she bit her lip and tried to pull down on her shirt to cover the little exposed bit of skin. As if she had a choice in the matter she wanted Sarah to work for it. |

Seeing the breath of frosty air come out through Julie's lips, Sarah smiled a broad smile as she snuck a hand up Julie's back and lightly tugged at her hair, exposing her lovely neck. Listening to Julie's request, Sarah 's reply was to lightly brush her tongue up from the crook of her neck all the way up to her chin - light, feathery brushes, as if she were painting a masterpiece. Sarah loved seeing Julie's attempts to take control and it pleased her to no end; it made her domination of Julie all the more exciting. Like Julie, Sarah knew they were an item at the School and like Julie, Sarah didn't like to flaunt their relationship either but as she learned long ago, there were ways to exert control that, unless you were looking specifically for them, you'd never notice between a couple such as themselves.
Watching as Julie reached out and pressed her hand out onto her chest, Sarah watched in amazement - it still amazed her to see Julie do this, to take a little of her warmth and care and turn it to light - as Julie reached out, twirled her fingers and turned the small orb of light and warmth into a heart, sending it along so that they'd have a path to follow back to their quarters... It bounced and floated around their heads for a moment before moving silently down the hallway. Lighting their path as they moved through the common areas and up the stairs to the dormatories.
Taking hold of Julie's hand with a firm, strong grip, Sarah led the two of them down the hallway, silently moving through the common areas and up the stairs, the only sounds being the pleasant pitter-patter of their feet as they headed upstairs to their residence.. They had actually started living together. The two of them sharing one dorm room. It wasn't as cramped as it sounded. The dorms were two bedrooms and quite spacious. At least their was. It had a small kitchen and a lovely balcony. Yes, Julie had found herself with the mack daddy suite of all dorms, but it was cozy. Making their way upstairs Julie happily followed, being tugged along down the hallway until they found their way to their dorm.
Stopping at the door, Sarah turned and took hold of both of Julie's wrists, raising them above her head as they stood inside, holding them there with a tight grip. Leaning in, Sarah kissed her again, more forcefully and yet with love and passion; resting herself tight against Julie, Sarah's breath left a light chill on Julie's skin wherever it hit - not enough to hurt but enough for Julie to feel the contrast of heat and cold. "Trying to take control, heh?" Sarah whispered, her tongue running its' way along one earlobe, her lips pulling on it a moment before letting go. "I'll have to put a stop to that, my Georgia peach," Sarah said, that seductive tone in her voice back again. "Now, wait here," letting go of her wrists as she turned and began to walk to their bedroom, "while I decide what to do with my Georgia peach," reaching the bedroom door just as she finished her words, devilish thoughts dancing through Sarah's head - and, for that matter, everywhere else inside her...

Waking up the next morning Julie found that she was not so incredibly rested. She yawned and stretched within Sarah's grasp. The clock on the dresser read 7 am and Sarah was not yet awake. Julie slipped out of her arms and put her bare feet on the floor. The floor was cold to the touch, and must of the room was. The heater Julie had left running last night did little to help. The thermostat was cranked up to 88 and still the room was chilly. Living with Sarah was bound to be hell on the heating bill. Julie was just glad it wasn't her bill to pay.
Moving as quietly as she could across the room She tip toed along and got some clothes from the dresser. Careful not to wake Sarah Julie slipped into the bathroom for a nice morning shower. The water felt great over her skin. Warm and inviting and though she cared for Sarah and Julie was very much a cuddler. Her icy grip was pretty cold. Even under the warm spray of the shower Julie sneeze. Oh dear... She thought. I think I'm getting a cold. A pouty frown stretched across her face. Her wet hair sticking to her head slicked back and raining down her shoulders. Julie turned off the water and stepped out. Drying quickly and getting dressed in the bathroom.
She went about her usual morning routine of brushing her teeth and fixing her make up. She wanted to look good after all and she wasn't as confident in her natural beauty as Sarah was. Julie finished her eye shadow and got on her shoes sitting on the closed toilet. It was then she crept out of the room. Gently leaning over to kiss Sarah on the head before she slipped out for her morning jog. Julie liked to stay fit and she would jog around the campus grounds every morning. It was a good way to clear her head and just take perspective of everything. Not to mention she had to lead the danger room assignment today. The team was training and with Brad injured someone had to step in and be a substitute. She thought about asking Sarah, but she knew Sarah didn't care for that. They may have to just run the simulation a man short.
The hypothetical mission was already going to be hard enough. But now they were going to be a man short. Injuries happen when people weren't well rested. And Julie was clumsy on top of that. No, it was not Julie's fault that caused the accident it was Brad's own carelessness. But It was because he didn't get a good night's sleep. Julie paused to check her pulse. Yawning a second time and sneezing to boot. Oh dear, I really am getting a cold she mused. Satisfied with her work out Julie jogged back inside. Her ponytail swishing side to side as she ran she was going to be late for training. She wished Sarah was joining her she hated the idea of being away from her all day, but she had to do what she had to do as the leader of the X-Men.

Waking up after a night of passion, Sarah awoke to an empty bed and shivered slightly; even in the slowly ascending warmth of the day ahead, Sarah was still cold to the touch. It was part of what made her who and what she was but it also cast a faint bluish tinge on her skin but as with everything else in her life, she enjoyed the good and the bad of it all. Julie must've woke up already, Sarah thought, sitting up, still naked as the day was long, yawning and stretching her arms out by her sides.
After a few minutes' sitting up in bed, lounging back a bit - and remembering the wild night of sex we had last night! she mused - Sarah got up; the day wasn't getting any younger. After giving herself a moment to wake up some more, Sarah headed off to the bathroom and washed up, looking forward to the day ahead. She knew Julie was going to train with the X-Team and although Sarah wasn't a member per se', she kept a keen interest in their activities for as an instructor at the Xavier School, she too might be asked to work with them someday in the future. Besides, she thought, as she toweled off and dried herself everywhere, I need to practice my cryokinetic combat skills and today's as good a day as any.
At its' heart, cryokinetic combat was the ability to use ice as weapon by either direct manipulation of ice - creating an ice wall or freeezing the ground around them - or by creating ice-based tools and weapons that once could then use in combat. It was a skill Sarah had had since her early teen years and over time, she had cultivated a keen sense of ability in using her power but it came at a cost. That cost was the almost cold-bloodedness of her physical being; however, she had turned that potential concern into an advantage over time and though it wasn't the strongest power at the School, it was a valuable power.
Walking back into the bedroom, Sarah dressed in her usual weekend attire - jeans with hiking boots, a light blouse with undershirt beneath it - and added a light blue bandanna to her wardrobe, fixing it around her forehead and pulling her hair back into a tight ponytail underneath it. Ah, there we go, she thought, looking at herself in the mirror, don't you look like a million bucks! Making sure everything was good to go, Sarah headed out, figuring even if she wasn't a member of the X-Team, it would be nice to watch them in action.

Julie moved quickly to the training room. It was affectionately called The Danger room. It was a large room with metal walls and a cold interior. It was the basis for all of the X-Team training. It had a computer with a sophisticated A.I. within it. It could create illusions and real world examples of dangers you might face and the simulation was so complete and authentic that you could feel the punch of a simulated foe. You could feel the heat from simulated fire licking at your skin. Julie' moved inside quickly. She smiled and nodded at several students as she passed.
The danger room simulation was going to start soon and the X-Team was down to only a handful of members. Julie included. There had been a big battle recently and sadly half of the X-Team had died in it trying to save the city. They did save the city, but not before suffering heavy losses. Julie was the leader of that team and it was her judgments and calls that got half her team killed. She honestly didn't feel as if she still deserved to lead the team but she came back to a hero's welcome. One she definitely felt as though she didn't deserve. Moving down the stairs quietly Julie pushed open the danger room doors.
No one showed up. Damn. No one believed in her anymore. No one wanted to join the X-Team with her as the leader. She might get them killed. She was about to pack it up and decide that training was canceled when she noticed Sarah had followed her down. "Hey..." She said quietly. Julie didn't want her knowing something was the matter. "Training is canceled I guess. Want to get something to eat?" Julie was really excited about the possibility of training today. To make up for her mistakes in the field. She needed training. She looked at Sarah quietly wondering if Sarah might actually want to train. Julie had never actually seen her abilities in combat or in action. "Actually. would you like to train with me? I think it could be good." She said softly. Julie was just happy it was a simulation and should couldn't get Sarah killed in any way.

Walking down to the Danger Room, Sarah thought about the X-Team and everything they'd been through. Like other mutants, she too had felt the sting of battle, having helped to defend the Xavier School....the numerous ice walls she created had helped blunt several key attacks and though it'd drained her immensely, she had never thought to usurp the position of anyone on the X-Team. Besides, she thought as she began walking towards the Danger Room, the X-Team is Julie's affair; no matter the faults she may possess, whatever they may be, she is a good leader for them and if anyone can rebuild them, she can do it...
To her surprise, however, when she arrived there was no one down there but Julie; in her assumption that there was still a team for her to train, Sarah had forgotten the heavy price the X-Team had paid... The danger room simulation was going to start soon and the X-Team was down to only a handful of members. Julie included. There had been a big battle recently and sadly half of the X-Team had died in it trying to save the city. They did save the city, but not before suffering heavy losses. Julie was the leader of that team and it was her judgments and calls that got half her team killed.
For several moments, Sarah actually considered turning and leaving; even with her lust for life in everything she did, she had honestly never considered becoming a part of the X-Team... No one showed up. Damn. No one believed in her anymore. No one wanted to join the X-Team with her as the leader. She might get them killed. She was about to pack it up and decide that training was canceled when she noticed Sarah had followed her down. "Hey..." She said quietly. Julie didn't want her knowing something was the matter. "Training is canceled I guess. Want to get something to eat?" Julie was really excited about the possibility of training today. To make up for her mistakes in the field. She needed training.

I think it could be good." She said softly. Julie was just happy it was a simulation and should couldn't get Sarah killed in any way.
A broad smile crossed Sarah's face when she heard Julie's question; whatever fears that Sarah might've possessed fell away at that instant and Sarah held out her arm, tiny tendrils of ice energy forming on the tips of her fingers. "I would be honored, Julie," Sarah replied, flashing her arm off to the side, streamers of ice forming and flowing out from her hand. In seconds an ice wall, solid as any brick or concrete wall, was formed; closing up her hand, she playfully blew across her fingers as if cooling them down and said, "Where should we begin?"

[googlefont="Griffy"][googlefont="Abel"] SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS
Julie found the light
RUNNING FROM THE DAY Julie smiled a soft caring smile. It wasn't like her to be sad. Not really. She was pretty happy go lucky and it took a lot to upset her, but the growing realization that she was a terrible leader for the team was all to powerful to ignore. "I'm stepping down as X-Team Leader. The Xavier School. Deserves someone better to lead the X-men then me." Julie said.
There was no depression in the tone of her voice. Just purely factual statements. She had made up her mind and Julie was very stubborn. Once she had made up her mind to do something there was no changing it. There was no changing it for all the gold in King Midas's touch. She shrugged her shoulders and sighed. Only perking up a bit at Sarah's display of her wonderful and amazing abilities. She was sometimes quite jealous of Sarah's gifts.
Though it made her cold to the touch she had the most wonderful warm heart and that was all that really mattered. Still, even if she was giving up on the X-Team she still wouldn't mind getting some practice in anyways. Julie had never fought side by side with Sarah. It was going to be a wonderfully amazing opportunity. Something she was honestly looking forward too. "Show off." She smirked in her southern Georgia accent.
Walking over to a computer Julie pressed a few buttons. The lights flickered and the room went dark. A large whirling sound echoed across the room as the perimeters of her simulation came to life. Suddenly they were in a thick and vast jungle. The simulation was so accurate and lifelike that you could feel the heat on your skin. You could hear the animals of the jungle and you could almost smell the rain ready to pour any moment. It wasn't just a jungle it was a rainforrest..
Above them words floated as the simulation gave the mission objectives. "Find and rescue The President. Unearth the G.A.D.E.M. secrets. Kill no one. Failure of any of these perimeters will result in an instant mission fail." Julie looked at Sarah with a light smile on her lips. "How about you take the lead on this one babe." She said. Julie just didn't have it in her to take charge and lead the mission.   |

"I'm stepping down as X-Team Leader. The Xavier School. Deserves someone better to lead the X-men then me." Julie said.
The words floored Sarah; as long as they'd been together, she had never known Julie to give up on anything so for to her to step down from something was a major shock to her. She also knew it wouldn't be any use for her to try and talk her out of it; Julie was as stubborn as the strongest of Georgia mules and Sarah knew full well that once she had made up her mind about something, that was it.
On the flip side, it was nice to bring out Julie's wondrous, beautiful smile as she took a moment to show off her own abilities... "Show off." She smirked in her southern Georgia accent.
"Why, thank you," Sarah replied, doing a full theatrical bow and curtsy as Julie walked over and programmed the Danger Room's AI for the scenario to come. Suddenly, they were immersed in the midst of a thick, hot and stifling jungle; almost immediately, Sarah could feel herself begin heating up as her body reacted to the sudden, though simulated, arrival of humid and hot conditions. Yes, Sarah knew it was a simulation but damn did it feel uncomfortable for someone used to the cold.
Setting all that aside, Sarah read the conditions of the simulation and listened as Julie said to her, "How about you take the lead on this one babe," a light smile across her lips. Smiling back at Julie, Sarah replied, "Alright, let's go rescue the President and give those GADEM bastards some hell they won't soon forget, shall we?"

Julie found the light
RUNNING FROM THE DAY Julie smiled a little though it wasn't genuine. There was a sadness lingering there. Touching the bottom of her heart with a heavy weight that she could not shake. She was glad for this time with Sarah. It was almost as if she could let loose and not have to worry about being a disappointment in anyone's eyes. Julie didn't think that she could ever be a disappointment in Sarah's eyes.
Taking a step into the jungle Julie was frightened. Saddened and frightened. She was sad because she knew that this would only make Sarah try and dig her heels in and try and convince her to stay on the team. Julie had been thinking about giving up crime fighting all together. The world was in so much pain and she thought with her abilities of light and empathy she could find a way to make it better. She got her friends killed and she didn't want to see that again.
Still she knew if Sarah pushed her on the matter she would cave into it. She just wanted to make Sarah proud. Julie smiled a bit as she walked deeper into the jungle. She used her hands to shape and bend light to her liking as the sun was quickly setting. she captured and stole some of the light form the sun in the palms of her hands. It glowed and felt warm to her skin, though she could only imagine how Sarah felt in this sweltering jungle.
Up ahead in the jungle clearing there were two distinct paths. One going left, and the other going right. Both were dark and Julie pushed her light forward to brighten the way, but this was Sarah's call. She was taking the lead on this mission. Julie was almost a little excited, if not terrified to see Sarah in action. She was so strong and confident.
Julie knew she would bring the mission to a success. The left path had jungle drums beating loudly from that direction. You could hear it loud as day. The right path seemed to have a storm brewing with dark clouds moving over it. Though smoke rose from the jungle canopy over the treetop. Dark plumes of rich smoke. But which way did they go? "Well? Right or left do ya thank?" Julie asked in her sweet southern bell voice. |

They say there comes a point in one's life when you have to step up to the plate at something and now was Sarah's time; as she began walking through the simulated jungle, assisted by Julie's shaping and bending of the sun-rays as the simulation featured a setting sun in the distance. Although the simulated heat and humidity was bothering her a bit, Sarah didn't let it show, instead taking a few quick breaths now and then, her cold breath forming tiny clouds of steam as they hit the simulated air. I'll have to figure out a way to hide that, she mused as they proceeded deeper into the jungle.
Up ahead in the jungle clearing there were two distinct paths. One going left, and the other going right. Both were dark and Julie pushed her light forward to brighten the way, but this was Sarah's call. She was taking the lead on this mission. Julie was almost a little excited, if not terrified to see Sarah in action. She was so strong and confident.
Pausing their steps, Sarah knelt down on the jungle floor and motioned for Julie to do the same; she wanted to see what was ahead of them but before she could do so, they both saw the paths ahead had different obstacles: the left path held drums beating a strange and foreboding pattern and where there were drums, there could be hostiles ahead while the right path was full of dark, smoky equally foreboding clouds... "Well? Right or left do ya thank?" Julie asked in her sweet southern bell voice.
"We'll go the left route," Sarah replied, but she had an idea for luring whoever was on that left path away. Holding her hand out, she waited for the tendrils of ice to begin building, then she shot out several quick shots of ice out in the distance; these weren't for building ice walls or injuring anyone but were for clearing out that smoke as fast as cleanly as possible. With the humidity in the air, the ice shots wouldn't last long but she didn't need to; she just needed them to last long enough to lure anyone in front of them away. Firing a few more shots of ice down the right path, Sarah waited, then smiled as they both heard the drums fall to silence, the sounds of people moving to check out the strange noises off in the distance. "As soon as they....alright, Julie, let's go; c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Sarah whispered, getting back up and quickly moving down the left path, hoping she had chosen right...

[googlefont="Griffy"][googlefont="Abel"] SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS
Julie found the light
RUNNING FROM THE DAY Julie watched and grew noticeably more and more concerned with Sarah's ability to deal with the heat. She had never considered it and when she turned on the simulation it wasn't a actual choice where or what they were doing. The simulation was programmed to add variables. To change things on the fly and be proceduraly generated. She had no more idea what was going to happen when the simulation started than Sarah did.
Walking up behind her she placed a soft hand on her back. "How you holding up?" She whispered. There was no mistaking the concern on her face as the two of them crouched in the clearing deciding which direction to take. When Sarah said they were going to investigate the drums up ahead Julie nodded. She was in a full support role and honestly the weight on her shoulders was much lighter because of it.
She would provide back up, but honestly she was quietly taking in Sarah's ability to lead. She had meant to bring it up before but.... She had always wanted Sarah to join the X-Team. Just something about fighting side by side seemed romantic and poetic at the same time.... But Sarah was a natural born leader. She just oozed potential and authority. Not to mention being an authoritarian in their personal lives....
"Okay. Set phasers to stun." She reminded her. No killing. It wasn't the X-men way and it would instantly crash the simulatio nwith a failure status. Julie moved and shaped the light and guided it down the left path towards the increasing thunder of the drums ahead. Sarah did in fact take charge and Julie doused her light to provide stealth as the drums stopped.
Julie found some tall grass to hide herself in and wait for whatever was going to..... What the hell? She thought as Sarah urged her to come on and they both started to run. "Well, guess we're going with plan B." She said. Pulling light down and shaping it into the shape of a shield Julie gripped it's luminescent handles and charged, falling in line right behind Sarah.
