*Ryder had just checked out three books from the library, all in different languages. Not wanting to go to his room, it made him feel anti-social sometimes. He started to head down towards the living room. Once there he found a nice spot on a single person coutch in the corner of the room and sat down to read. He put one of his legs up on the arm res, for some reason it was just more comfortable up there. Not many people read these books, unless they knew the language, or they were learning the language. He had jeans, which had a little bit of grease on them, and a blue t-shirt with a computer on it. It had a clever slogan on it. He started to read, wondering what his friends were up to.*
*Half way through the first book he sighed. He was…well let’s say it: board. He wasn’t in a really good mood for reading, even though he loved it. He looked at the changer and thought about what could be on the television. He was sure there wasn’t much of what he wanted to watch. It was then when he saw someone entering the living room. He looked at who it was with curiosity.*

*Kori was just walking along looking for a good place to lounge. She was carrying a small sketchbook that had an eraser pen, fine tip pen, mechanical pencil and fountain pen all shoved down the wire spine of the well loved book. She’s wearing a England flag shirt with a black, loose material, jacket that was just zipped up to just below her bust. She had her usual mess of necklaces on. Some were big and gaudy, others were simple chains and pendants, but she had maybe 10-15 on. On her right ear hung a long chain with a small electric guitar hanging down near her collar bone, it was accompanied by 2 or 3 smaller chains and a black feather. – She was walking mindlessly through the familiar halls and found herself in the oh-so familiar room. She looked up as she entered to see none other than her good friend (and first & continuous crush) Ryder.*
*Her face lit up as they made eye contact. It had been weeks since the two had seen each other, and frankly, to her, a few weeks was too long. She hurried over to him, at not quite a run, but faster pace than a walk, and she invited herself to sit on the arm of the chair he was in*
“Hi Ryder! *sits on the arm of the chair* whatcha been up to?! Its been forever since we’ve had a chance to chat!”

*Once Ryder saw that it was Kori he smiled at her, seeing her well loved sketch pad and all the things she needed for it. She was probably looking for a place to relax. She was wearing and outfit that looked like it belonged on the New York City streets. She was always in fashion, and always had that group of necklaces; they always just tied her personality together. Some loud and gaudy, while others were simple and cute.*
*Ryder had been so busy, that he couldn’t even remember the last time that he and Kori had some time alone. She quickly covered the space between them as she sat on the arm of his chair.* Hay Kor. I’ve just been fixing come computer problems, and reading books. *He motioned to the books in Chinese, Italian, and Finnish. All languages that he could read just as easily as she could read English. This was his power, but he still enjoyed it. It just meant that he had much more things to read and enjoy.* I know, I’ve been busy, but how about you? What has the great Kori been doing? *They were good friends, so Ryder felt that there was no harm in a little friendly flirting.*

Gloom was sitting in his room listening to his MP3 and reading The Tell Tale Heart out of an Edgar Allen Poe collection he had found in the library. Sitting on his stomach his neck length indigo hair was hidden under his grey and black banded hoodie the faint grey skull patterns were just barely noticeable, he was shirtless under the hoodie but it wasn’t a big deal he had the body for it, slim but tone and except for his head completely hairless the opposite of the blue fur his grandfather Kurt sported. Gloom turned a page with his three fingered hand his 3 toed feet stuck up in the air crossed at the ankle he couldn’t wear shoes on account of the shape of his feet and slippers weren’t an option either. No Gloom was perfectly content with walking around barefoot the thick calluses on his feet protected him from most anything.
Gloom dug around in his faded black jeans pulling out his MP3 he changed the song and set it beside him. The hole in the back of his pants allowed his tail to flick back and forth lazily while he scanned the page with pupil-less yellow eyes. Gloom was just tucking his hair behind his pointed ears when he felt a sneeze coming “ooh snap this won’t end well!” he said just before he sneezed and Ported with a soft ‘bamf’ and a puff of sulfurous smoke. Re-entering with another ‘bamf’ and another puff of smoke he found himself in the Danger Room in the middle of a training session. Sadly his sneezes always came in groups of two or three. With another sneeze Gloom teleported out of the Danger Room just before being struck with turret laser fire to find himself about six feet off the ground in the living room complete with MP3 book and all.
Gloom fell onto a chair already occupied with two people. “Heads up!” was all he managed to get out before he started to fall towards the chair, just before he fell on top of his fellow students he teleported to a love seat across the room his heart pounding from hid little surprise tour of the mansion snatching his book and his MP3 out of the air before they fell to the floor. Gloom looked around then focused on his fellow students waving the smoke from his re-entry out of his face “Hey there, nice weather we are having, forecast shows a light sprinkling of blue elves with sunshine later in the evening!” Gloom said trying to defuse any tension with a bit of humor, a goofy grin exposing his sharp teeth.

*She bopped him on the head when she heard the computer bit* You're such a nerd!*Then she stole the Italian book straight from his hand, as this was her custom, turned it upside-down and attempted to read it, with it sound like inaudible mumbles as well as random noises. This was her attempt. Shortly after that she dropped the book back in his lap, walked around the back of the couch and flopped herself on top of him*
That’s boring!! and I'm pretending to be brain dead today!! *she beems as wide as her mouth will let her.*
*Just as she was about to flirt right back at Ryder gloom appeared over head, and just as soon as he did, She was looking at him with a “WTF?!?!” expression on her face, and her natural “in no real danger” reflex kicked in. She clung to Ryder around the neck and let out an “EEK” as she did so. Once Gloom was in a new position across the room she glanced at her situation and pulled off Ryder moving some hair in front of her face to hide the OBVIOUS blush.*
*She assumed her last position on the arm of the chair and smiled and chuckled at the attempted humor, and appreciated his efforts.*
We were just talking about lives and excitement when you poofed outa no-where. So what fun and exciting things have you been up to, since you nearly fell on two *starts sounding VERY sarcastic* poor helpless loiterers?
*It was so like her to know just about everyone, even if she really couldn’t consider herself friends with them. They were still people and deserved to be treated as such. That has been her policy for as long as she could remember, even before she became a mutant. Mutant, human, it never really mattered for her, infact you could say she was jealous.*

*Ryder chuckled at what Kori called him. He was, and his power made him more so. He was one of the schools tech’s for crying out loud. Allowing her to steal the Italian book from his hands he laughed as she attempted to read the upside down words. He could probably translate those into English words as well…His power was a strange one…at least he thought so.*
*He took the book that was now on his lap, and found his spot, quickly putting the bookmark inside the book he moved it out of the way just in time for her to plop down onto him.* Well I’m sorry, you can be brain dead all you want thought. *Ryder Joked with his good friend.*
*Being an X-man Ryder would have been able to move out of the way or mostly out of the way as soon as he saw the strange looking boy above him. But Kori leaching onto his neck made it very hard to move, let alone get out of the way. Ryder chuckled at her obvious blush. He had known for quite a while that Kori had a crush on him. But he just thought it was one that would go away after she found someone she could really love. But Ryder smiled at his fellow occupant of the mansion. Observing the situation, he looked about a year younger than himself and had a fairly good build, apart from his odd appearance, he seemed to be just a normal kid. He looked like he had been just lounging somewhere, reading and listening to music and his power activated randomly.*
*Ryder gave a light laugh and looked back at the “blue elf”.* So glad you were able to drop in. *He thought he would join in the light humor. The mood was a little tense so he thought he would help lighten it up. Even if he wasn’t one for jokes. But he did laugh a little bit as Kori called them helpless.*

Gloom gave a good chuckle at the girl’s “helpless” comment. Gloom doubted any person in the Xavier Institute was helpless with all the fantastic mutations that sprang up each day. Gloom also liked the boy’s appreciation of his “dropping in” he was glad they had a sense of humor about the situation. “Yeah sorry if I interrupted anything, with these spring allergies my teleportation can take me to some strange adventures, I’m just glad I stayed inside the mansion this time.” Gloom gave the two a big smile, “So I’m new to the Xavier Institute of this reality I’m Corbin Wagner, back in my home reality Nightcrawler is my Grandfather. I usually go by my code name Gloom it’s nice to meet you both.”
Gloom wondered if they would understand the whole alternate reality thing, Gloom wasn’t sure he understood it himself, usually Gloom teleported via portals to the Brimstone Dimension opening one to go into and one to come out of the Dimension that his great grandfather the ancient mutant ruler of the Neyaphem Azazel was trapped in. When Franklin Richards created the device that was suppose to augment his powers to allow him to teleport through time he made a miscalculation and Gloom teleported to the reality he was currently sitting in. Whatever Richards had done to augment his powers it had also made it so when he traveled through the Brimstone Dimension it destroyed Franklin’s device. So here Gloom was trapped in an a reality that wasn’t his own.

*Kori looked a little surprised and a tad confused at his "Home reality" comment, but she figured it had something to do with his power, and she had heard of "Nightcrawler" and that answered at least a few of her questions.
I'm Korean Clegg. Aka: Kori, aka: Arachne. Please call me Kori! *she moved to shake his hand* And no worries about dropping by, we were just chatting.
*She was being friendly as usual, as well as making a new friend/acquaintance. She was always glad to meet new people, especially people she knew she could trust, and they deserved hers as well, so she was making an effort not to seem to demanding or offensive, but at the same time was relaxed and was thinking of questions that wouldn't be offensive, too straight forward, but at the same time, not too protected.*
*She started to fidget with her necklaces while waiting for him to speaking. At the beginning of what he was saying she stopped and look a confused, then got an “Oh yeah!” look on her face. She shuffled inside and around her jacket as if she were looking for something. What ever it was, she found it in the hood of the jacket. She pulled her hands to the front of her, obviously hiding something in them. She looked at him cautiously and slightly concerned.*
You’re not afraid of small things are you?
*She looks as if she’s asked this question before and had bad results for it. She was still hiding whatever she had found, and holding it close to her in a protective kind of stance.*

Maybe you can go see Hazel for those allergies, she may not have anything, but then again she may be able to help you in some way. *Hazel was the doctor in charge, along with Hank Mccoy.*
*Ryder wasn’t completely sure about the “other reality” thing but he did believe that it was possible to move in between realities. Guess now he was sure about that theory. He smiled at the boy who called him self Gloom.* I’m Ryder. I’m glad that you could be here, in this reality. *Ryder wasn’t entirely sure he understood alternate dimensions as well as others, but he did know a little. The information came mainly from books, and the internet.*
*He noticed the way that Kori was acting. She liked to be friends, or at least acquaintances with people. He wasn’t as open. He would answer almost any question and smile like everyone else, but he was still a little on the shy side to do too much asking. He saw Kori fidgeting around…was it? No…but then again, it still could be. He was sure he knew what it was, he had herd that question many times from her. Some people said “no” other’s said “yes” while some said that it depended on what it was.*
