I was walking to the Kim's Karate bus from my school and there was this kid a year or so younger than me getting off exactly as I got there. They(he?) shied away as I approached, and I noticed that they(he?) had two horizontal, soot-black bars printed just below his knuckles on the backs of both of his hands. They(he?) seemed kinda shifty and paranoid, and seemed to try to avoid eye contact.
I inquired about the lines and leaned over to see them better, but he recoiled and said something along the lines of, "Don't! You don't want to know!!" then ran off toward the back school.
I grabbed my black duffle/briefcase (don't know why I would ever have a brief case 0o) and was all set & ready to get on the bus when my eye now caught my own hand... It too, now had black bars printed on it. And who appears behind me but the kid. They(he?) had a sort of mixed "oh let me see" and "I warned you!" air about him, but seemed to be more willing to communicate now.
I turned around, and apparently some time had passed.
I remembered the lines on my hands kept fading and disappearing, then reappearing bolder and blacker than ever. They're faded now, and somehow I knew these things were supposed to come out of them, but couldn't while the lines were faded. I was on the bus going back to the school now.
We got to my school and me and the other kids got off. Curiosity was obvious on my face as I examined the lines again. They were bold again and I held my hand up. Quite purposefully, I tensed/flexed the muscles in it and two paper-thin metal 'thingies' shot out of the lines....
Despite what you might be thinking as you read this, they were anything BUT wolverine claws... Aside from being paper-thin and weak enough to bend in the breeze, they were dull with parabola-shaped tips and arched over your knuckles almost as badly as a rainbow arches over the sky. ....not at all good for fighting with. (plus, there were only two per hand) Infact, they were positively useless!
So there I was, at my school, off the bus (bus is behind me), and who appears next to me but the kid! He had a horrified sort of look on him as he looked at me; a deffinate "Oh boy, now you've done it" sort of look. ----And that's about all I can remember. (I'm not sure, but I think he might've actually said "Oh boy, now you've done it", but I'm not sure)

I know; weird dream. 9_9 (me thinks "weird" = understatement)
I was about 12 when I had it; roughly three years ago. I'm amazed that I still remember as much as I do about it. And no, there really wasn't any x-men influence, it'd been over a year since I had seen that movie, and I generally hate comic books...although the occasional fan-comic is ok I suppose. ^^
I have no clue who that "kid" is based on. Never seen anybody like him in my life! So, the only thing I know about him is, he seemed about a year or two younger than me, and had dark hair, light skin, and was always standing off to the side.
I think this was the first dream I ever had that was excessively sunny...bright blue sky, green grass, and a blinding-white sidewalk, but there were tall trees and whatnot too.
How did this dream come true? Now, three years later, I've got a cat-scratch scar on each hand roughly right where one of the lines would be. Though, one of them is actually older than the dream, and maybe it's what inspired the dream cause I would get bored in school every now and then and ink it over...but I usually inked it in pink! And where the heck did this other scar come from?! (my cat, but who told my cat to scratch me there of all places?) Ah nevermind. bleh. :p
