Nimble & Panther - X Men [with Adamantium Babe]

[Silvery_Lady]

-I didn't said that they don't love you. I said that they don't have the right attitude with you. Do they ever took their time to actually be with you? Have you ever been grounded, at home?- she continued, moving a few steps towards him.
And a second later, when the question about the hairbrush popped out, April put on her most severe expression -The hairbrush is not for your hair, young man. It's for your backside. You're going to get a good spanking this time.- she announced, firmly.
She kept observing him very carefully, studying his reaction, suspecting that the kid didn't know much about traditional discipline, like the most of contemporary teens.
But April, old as she was, used to think that sometime a properly smacked bottom was more than needed -So now i will sit down on your bed and i want you to lay over my lap, without throwing a tantrum. Got it?-

[Adamantium Babe]

"Sure, I got grounded from time to time. But I got out anyway. Grounding someone is stupid: you can deprive someone of his freedom."

Then, when April explained what she was going to do, Wilson blinked and gulped.

"You...you're going to hit me with that hairbrush? But...but why? You're going to hurt me."

He took a few steps back, feeling a bit of panic rising up.

[Silvery_Lady]

-You're pretty wrong about that, kiddo. A parent, or a teacher in this context, actually CAN deprive a child of his freedom anytime the child deserve it, until the child learn to obey. That's what punishment are for. And i will punish you, you can bet on that.- she answered, watching as the teen stepped back, starting to realize what was upon him.
-Yes, i will - she assured to him -Because you have to follow the rules like everybody else, in here. Now answer me: have you been told not to leave the Mansion alone or not? Didn't i, personally, forbidden you to travel with strangers, in their cars? Think about it.- she tried to force him to reflect over that issue.
After that, she nodded.
-I'm going to make your buttock hurts, that's for sure. But you earned it. Next time maybe you will listen to me.-

[Adamantium Babe]

"But...I-I'm not a child! Besides, I'm always careful when I ask someone for a ride to the city! Or I just go on foot, or use the bus too! N-no, stay back!

He didn't know how much the spanking would have hurt, but he didn't want to stay and find out!

Wilson activated his power and swiftly jumped over April, trying to reach for the door.

[Silvery_Lady]

-Yes, you are. And you didn't answer my question.- she made him notice -THAT'S NOT THE POINT!- suddenly her voice lifted up, while she frowned, giving the boy a furious glance -You can't go around on your own, it's not safe. You are too young, you don't know how to defend yourself! And on top of that, you're a mutant! Do you know how many people out there are craving to put their filthy hands on kids like you? They do experiments on us, Wilson! They did on me!- she raged on, taking it pretty personally, apparently.
Moments after, when the teen jumped off like a gazelle, reaching for the door, April just rolled her eyes -It's locked. I have the key and you're not leaving this place until i say so.- the woman turned to him, crossing her arms over her chest -Don't make me chase you all around the room, boy. You know me, you know that i can be swift just as you are. But at my age i'm way more skilled than you.-
April tried to make him be a little more reasonable -Do you REALLY want to challenge me?-

[Adamantium Babe]

Wilson simply turned back, but didn't have the courage to look in her eyes. His heart was beating faster, and he wished nothing more than to get out of that room.

"I...I...n-no. No I don't want to challenge you. And...yes. You told me to stop hitch-hiking and to always ask permission before getting out of the mansion...but all I want is to get out of the institute every once in a while, that's all...I can't stand this kind of life...I need my own space."

[Silvery_Lady]

April lifted her hand to him, palm forward, ordering him to stop talking.
-No more buts, Wilson.- she interrupted the boy -There is plenty of space in the Mansion park, you can go and walk around as long as you want, but you don't have permission to go beyond the gates. I'm tired of repeating myself.- she sighed -And if you really want to spend an afternoon in the city, you may ask me. I'll drive you. But our duty, until you'll be here, it's to keep you safe as well as making you attend your classes.- the woman stared at him, right in his eyes -If something happens to you, while roaming in the streets, without us knowing where the hell are you, how we'll be able to help you out? Think about this. You're a smart kid, i know you understand what i'm saying.-
At that point the scolding seemed to be almost over, since she was going back to a more calm voice tone, but the word "punishment" was still floating in the air.
April reached Wilson's bed and she sat down.
-You can complain as much as you want, but you will be spanked anyway. So why don't we get this over with once and for all? Come here, now.-

[Adamantium Babe]

Wilson shifted his weight from foot to foot, remaining perfectly silent during the scolding.
A few tears already formed into his eyes. It was useless to go on. Adults never understand...they just want to lock you up, surrounded by closed gates and fences, thinking that you'll be safe and still learn a lot. But life isn't made of books and lessons, but of living creatures, plants, air, sunlight...he could learn much more by observing a tree growing up.

When ms. Crosswell sat down, he knew he had no more chances to avoid the awful punishment.

Trembling, he slowly crossed the room and put himself over April's lap.

"P-please..." The boy whimpered, hoping that his teacher would have changed her mind.

[Silvery_Lady]

Once she was seated, April waited for Wilson to approach her, patiently.
She could understand the conflict that the kid had inside himself, wanting to avoid the punishment but doesn't knowing how.
So she gave him some time to accept his coming fate.
When he finally crossed the room, ending bended over her knees, the woman pressed her left hand on his back, to keep the boy still.
-Believe it or not, i'm sorry that i have to do this, kiddo.- she answered at his plea -But i will not change my mind about it, you gained yourself this spanking. It's time for you to learn what obedience is.- April concluded.
After that, the teacher grabbed firmly the hairbrush in her right hand and she rose her arm. A loud SMACK filled the air one moment later, then a second one, as she started to hit his bottom alterning the strokes, first on one cheek then on the other one.

[Adamantium Babe]

At first, Wilson simply crossed his arms and pouted sadly.
He closed his eyes and tried to distracting himself by thinking about his favourite song...but after the first swat, he gasped in shock, and immediately tried to get up.
He didn't know that a spanking could hurt so much!
Now Wilson understood why the other students were afraid to receive a corporal punishment, and why they rarely disobeyed.

"N-no! It hurts too much! Please!" He cried out.
