To all of the people who have waited for another addition to some of my continued stories, I am finally back. I am returning with a Wildfire because I used to have this fantasy back to my earliest years.

   

Wildfire

by Tanyalynn

 

I lay there trying to figure how to cope with this new body. Then I realized that the throb I was feeling was a full bladder. I pulled the sheet down and saw that someone had dressed me in a cami and shorts that were a little tight. Before the accident, I probably would've given myself a hard on. I guess that Logan had been keeping an eye on me from outside, because he came in and said, "where do you think you're going"? I said "to the bathroom", and got up. He grabbed my arm and said, "that isn't such a good idea". I grabbed his wrist and pushed him away lightly and he flew across the room and crashed into a wall. I got up and ran over to him, thinking, "what the hell is going on? That must have taken incredible super strength- this is Wolverine for Pete's sake." Then I realized that I had moved at incredible speed to get to him. He said, "what the hell was that"? To my shock, I started crying and said, "I'm sorry, I have no idea where that power came from". He held it and me felt good. For Christ's sake, two days ago we were two guys having a beer! He took me to the bathroom and said he would get Hank and Xavier. I discovered another problem when I got there- new plumbing to deal with. I managed to figure out how to do it and went back to the lab.

When I got there, I found Xavier, Hank, and Jean Grey all waiting for me. We went over everything that had happened, and I explained that although I was mentally all David, somehow my body had been combined with Tanya's to form a new one. To top it off, the massive dose of electricity that we had absorbed had somehow increased her strength and speed abilities to incredible amounts. I said, "I just don't know if I can deal with it", and held up the crushed doorknob from the bathroom which I had done by just trying to grab and open it. "How can I learn to deal with being female and these powers at the same time?" Damn, I was starting to cry again. This time, Jean held me and let me cry it out. Charles said, "why don't you and Hank put your heads together and see what you can come up with?" After I had calmed down, I agreed. After a lengthy discussion, hank and I agreed that the best solution might be to put me in an isolation chamber and try to draw off all of the electricity and see what would happen. I wanted to do it right away, but he convinced me to do it the next day. I was afraid to move, because I didn't know my own power yet, but Jean came and got me for dinner with some panties and a sweat suit that was just a little tight. No one seemed to wear my bra size. I was extremely nervous at dinner, and everyone was understandably staring at me. I spent the night back in the lab, and in the morning, put on a T-shirt over my panties and climbed into the chamber. I told Hank, "no matter what happens, don't stop". Soon, the pain was as horrible as during the original accident. I know at some point I passed out.

When I woke up, I immediately knew something was wrong. This definitely wasn't my old body, or the one I had just been in, because I could feel the power was gone. I looked around and realized I was in Tanya's room. With a sinking feeling, I lifted up the covers and realized I was dressed in a nightgown I had seen her wear. And, what looked like her body was filling it out. I looked in the mirror on the dresser and confirmed it- I was she. I started to go for help, but then decided I wanted more clothes on. I found bras in one drawer, panties in another. I realized that somehow, as I needed them, her memories were coming back, but try as I might, I could find no trace of her consciousness anywhere. It was just I in her. I put on the panties, and felt strange at how they fit into me. The bra would've been impossible without her memories. I found a T-shirt and shorts to pull on and went to the lab to find Hank.

When I got there, I almost fainted. On a table, hooked up to monitors and life support, was my old body. Hank was standing over it looking at the monitors and making notes. He sensed me and turned around and said, "it is good to see you out of bed Tanya, but are you sure you are ready"? I told him, "I hate to break it to you Hank, but it's not Tanya in here, it's David". You could almost here the thud when his jaw hit the floor. "It must be Tanya in my body". We surmised that our minds had somehow been switched, but that my body had been unable to handle the switch, so it was in a coma with her in it. I said, "well, what do we do now?" Then, I realized an even worse truth- Tanya's or my- (whatever!!) parents were coming to take her home for a visit. At least I might be able to pull it off if the memories kept flowing.

When they arrived, I was dressed in their favorite outfit- a powder blue dress with white tights. I knew they wanted me to stay their little girl forever, but I wished I could've worn something more mod. All Hank and Charles told them was that I was a wonderful student and how well I was doing. We drove all night to Indiana and I went to my room to get settled in. I had terribly mixed feeling as I went through the music collection- she liked boy bands and I was a classic rocker myself.

I started to get changed into something more comfortable when the phone rang. It was my own line, so I picked it up and said hello, hoping her memories would kick in for me. It didn't matter, because it was Kitty. She was yelling to be heard over the battle in the background. She said that "they" had invaded the mansion and gotten into the computer far enough to get all of our basic information, but Xavier had wiped it after sending the data to a secret location. They knew about Tanya, but not about what had happened. Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, and Gambit were all off site and it looked like they were going to lose the battle. I needed to find the others as soon as I could for survival. Then I heard her scream and the phone went dead. Damn! What the hell do I do now? As a former professor there, I knew all of the procedures for emergencies like this, but I was now a 13-year-old girl. It sort of limited me. Then, I heard what sounded like a jet landing outside. I ran out, thinking it was the Blackbird, and suddenly saw who the "they" were that Kitty had been talking about- Sentinels!!
