Third Floor CR, evening

Looking for something to distract himself from moping, Bel sprawled on the couch of the third floor common room, flipping through the channels of the TV. He settled on an episode of the History Channel's "Mega Diasters" series: West Coast Tsunami. Violence and destruction. Perfect.

Marie's face felt like it was on fire. Without thinking, she reached out and smacked Jamie's arm.

"I cannot believe you did that!"

Oops. Now there are two shirtless Jamies standing in front of her.

"Aw hell. Not again."

Greg looked from one Jamie to the other.

"How many of him do you see?" he asked no one in particular.

"There's two of me. It's a thing I do," Jamie tried to explain.

Always on to focus on what's important, Zack asked "Where does the extra mass come from?"

One of the Jamie's shrugged. "Not 100% sure. Apparently I absorb kinetic energy and transform it into another me."

"You made a whole new you out of just a smack on the arm?" Greg asked skeptically.

"Yep. Weird huh?" said one of the Jamies as he grabbed a shirt to put back on.

Greg stared. "So do you have more of you just wandering around from all the other times you've done this?"

"Well I can absorb them back into myself," Jamie #2 explained. "So I usually get them back along with their memories and experiences."

"I'm Greg, by the way," he said, still staring in utter confusion.

"Ohmygosh I BROKE you in HALF!" Marie squeaked.

"Uh. No. Not quite," Jamie said somewhat embarrassed. "I'm a mutant. I multiply if someone hits me."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"You're a... mutant?" Marie said, looking from one Jamie to the other. "I... um... wow."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
The two shirtless Jamies share a wary look with each other. "Is that a problem?"

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Marie quickly said. "It's just... where I'm from there's all this hype about the mutant registration act, but no one in my town believed they existed. Everyone thought it was a government scare tactic kind of thing."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Surprise?" Jamie said. "Wait... did you say Mutant Registration Act?"

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Marie nodded. "I haven't been following the news myself, but my dad was talking about it. I guess congress is going to be holding hearings or something."

"Huh. Weird. My world had that going on for a while until... well some friends of mine did a couple of things that put a stop to it," Jamie explained. "Interesting. Sounds like we come from alternate realities."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"So that probably means mutants are real where I'm from then," Marie said. "I still don't get this whole alternate reality thing though."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Congratulations. You just met your first mutant," One of the Jamie's said. "Think the hype is what it is cracked up to be?"

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-05-14 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Marie shrugged. "Well, I'm glad I didn't hurt you," she said. "Um, I didn't, did I?"
