Logan frowned. "So we're thinkin' her mutation is somehow at fault?"
"It makes sense," Jean pointed out, still frowning.
"Eh." The pigtailed boy frowned thoughtfully. "Y'know, I never asked, but what is Ororo's mutation anyway? I know she can generate lightning and stuff, but is that it?"
Xavier shook his head tiredly. "No. She's a weather witch, Ranma. She's harmonized with nature, enough so that she can summon or banish storms, create tornadoes or even hurricanes."
"So." Ranma nervously tugged on his collar. "Uh, she could stop, say, random rainfall from appearing for no damn reason?"
"I would imagine there would be a reason for something like that," Xavier drawled, but nodded none the less, "but I suppose she could."
Ranma nodded. "Ah." he glanced at the woman thoughtfully. His eyes suddenly glowed blue, gazing up and down the length of the woman before looking down at his own aura. While still looking at his aura, he reached out and touched the unconscious Ororo. "Well, ain't this some crap." He grimaced.
"You found something?" Jean raised an eyebrow at the whole glowing eyes bit.
Ranma let go of the woman, then touched her again, and repeated that process several times before nodding. "Uh, it looks like my aura is attacking her."
Xavier blinked. "What?"
"Every time I remove my hand it's like the outer edge of my aura starts lashing out. At what, I dunno, it vanishes a inch or two from my body," Ranma explained. "When I touch her, it, uh, returns to normal." He frowned, touching Logan, then Xavier, then back to Storm to verify. "My aura stays the same when I touch you two, and if I look hard enough I can see these wavy indentions at the edge of her aura that vanishes once I touch her."
"Why the devil would it do that?" Hank piped in, staring at the boy curiously.
Ranma sighed. "Never knew if it was a fact or not, mind ya, but we kinda always assumed Jusenkyo curses had a... water magnet portion to it." He glanced at Xavier pointedly. "The kind of water magnet portion that makes rain spontaneously fall even on a clear day."
"Are, are you saying..." Jean breathed incredulously
"Yep!" Ranma winced slightly. "At least this time, it's all my fault." Wherever he was, he hoped Ryoga was laughing his ass off.
