DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY THING FROM MARVEL OR X-MEN: EVOLUTION, ANY OCs ARE MINE UNLESS I SAY OTHERWISE.

A/N: This is a story I thought up because I if I placed it in Family Affairs (Coming soon-at least when this was written) it would take a little focus from the direction I wanted to head in, so I made a little one instead based on Blink so I wouldn't need to do it in the next story.

IMPORTANT: This is a short story continuing from my other ones, Blink was introduced in 'Enter Daytripper' near the end of the story.

BLINK'S NEW LIFE

CHAPTER 1: A NEW DAY, A NEW LIFE

Her name is Clarice Ferguson, but she is also known as Blink. She is sixteen, and once had a normal life with a nice family. Then she her mutation kicked in.

She couldn't hide it, her skin had become lavender, her hair pink, and strange marking on her face appeared as well as elf-like ears. She later learned she had the ability to create portals, and create lances that could teleport or destroy. But that was later, after her parents had sent her away.

Her parents were members of the Friends of Humanity. When they found out their own daughter was a mutant they not only disowned her, they sent her away with the FOH. They sent her to Trask and his sentinel testing facility.

It was hard, several people she knew had died and all hope was lost. Then a new group came, they told them they had friends that would come for them, and they did.

The X-Men had come. They had rescued her and had taken her in.

She woke up now in her new room. She had just moved into it the day before and was still getting used to everything. She shared the room with one of the girls that were captured and shared the cell as her and the others.

Amanda Sefton. Blink could see her still asleep over on her bead. She was glade she had a roommate, after everything she didn't feel like being alone too much. That and Amanda was one of the few people she knew here.

She remembered how when she first got here and she had to spend the night in the medical ward. It was scary but the others were there too, and they kept each other company.

Then Amanda and her had decided to share a room. She remembered how one of the other students, she couldn't remember his name, but he carried all the pieces of a bead in his arms, and she means all of it. Yet it looked like it weighed nothing to him and set it up in a minute flat, that included running down and getting a mattress for her too.

She was still learning all the powers and names with people. She did remember his codename. It was Mayhem, she remembered because even though he seemed so cheerful to her, she had seem him fight those sentinels and the power he had and the expression on his face was that of someone you didn't mess with.

She decided to get dressed and get something to eat. She didn't want to wake up Amanda, so she did it quietly. Luckily Amanda said she could borrow her clothes until she got some of her own.

She walked down the halls to the kitchen. It was still a little early so not everyone was up yet. She finally made it to the kitchen, with a little help from her portals.

She quietly entered the kitchen and saw the boy there who she was thinking about and then there was Ororo there too. They were making breakfast for the others.

"Are you sure that's enough Vincent?" She asked the boy.

'Ah Vincent that was it.' Blink thought to herself. She watched him look over a very large stake of pancakes.

"You're right with Amanda's ability to eat like Kurt, not to mention myself, although not that much and much slower, I also didn't know if the new girl wanted any?" Vincent said, scratching the back of his head, then turned to face her. "Do you?"

Blink just jumped, she didn't think anyone had noticed her. She was always so shy and people used to have a way of looking past her. "Uh....sure." She quietly said.

Ororo hadn't noticed her either, and wondered how he knew, but left it to his training. She always forgot not to underestimate that boy. "Come in child and get something." She gently said.

"Yeah before the horde arrive and take everything." Vincent said jokingly and flashed a smile at her.

She smiled back a little, she only knew him a little while but from what she heard he was a good person. Ororo was really nice too, to her Ororo seemed like the perfect lady, and she treated Blink better than even her own mother had before she changed.

It was nice to have someone like that in her life. She took some pancakes from the pile and began eating. They were really good too. Vincent had taken several more, and toast, and a couple of pop-tarts.

Blink just stared at him. She couldn't believe that he was going to EAT all of that. He was about to eat then froze when he saw her looking at him. He blushed a little from her expression.

"Uh...I need to eat a lot more than others do because my body has a tendency to store and use up a lot more energy than other people do." Then smiled at her. "Besides you should see Amanda and Kurt, now that's something to see."

She smiled a little at his joke, and resumed eating. He was right too, not too long after she started to eat the others starting coming in, and it soon became a hoard of people.

She never really liked crowds and was getting a little claustrophobic with everyone there. She finished quickly and slipped out without anyone noticing her.

She was just past the door when she bumped into Kurt. She remembered the blue boy from before because Amanda had talked a lot about him in their captivity together.

"Oh sorry." He said and smiled at her.

She blushed slightly and nodded her head. He quickly moved past her and went to get something to eat.

She was so used to people looking at her strangely but with people like Mr. McCoy and Kurt, she guessed a lavender skinned girl wasn't too much of a shock.

She smiled then at that thought of being seen as normal here. This was most likely the only place where she would fit in.

"Hey elf-girl." She heard a gruff voice say to her. She quickly turned around to see the one people called Mr. Logan standing not too far off. She was a little intimidated by him. He seamed to have that effect on some of the other students as well, especially if he was mad.

"Charles wants to see you ya if ya got nothing else to do right now." He said to her.

"Um...okay." She said, looking at him with wide frightened eyes.

"Kid, you got nothing to worry about. He's got something for ya, that we think you should have. Trust me you'll like it." He said and tried to smile at her.

She really wasn't sure what this 'thing' was but everyone seemed to like the Professor and he did give her a place to stay so he couldn't be that bad, even though she had only talked to him a little.

Ororo had looked after her the most as she got here a few days ago, and Blink was still trying to get comfortable around here. It was so different from her life from before.

She walked with Logan along the corridors and was lead into Charles' office.
