I'm in a jet. I don't know where I'm going or who I'm with, but I know that I've been asleep for a while. I can feel the grogginess and see the blur in my eyes. I hear voices in the cock-pit and start to wake up. I only hear bits of conversation. "…torn apart the whole town if Jean didn't knock him out", says a masculine voice. "You know I don't like doing that, Scott. I only did it because I knew he wasn't in control", a feminine voice responds. "Well either way, I'm glad you did. We'll have to take him to The Professor and see if he can help", a feminine voice with an English accent. A professor? What was going on? Where these some government agents about to experiment on me?
"I can sense his brainwave activity returning to normal", I hear the same feminine English voice say through the sliding doors I see, now that my vision has been fully restored. I look around and see that I am laying on a white hospital bed type thing. It's like a hospital bed, but has no rails and is in the shape of a perfect rectangle. I also notice that along with the bed, the whole room and sliding doors is white. "Well, it's time to say hello", I hear Scott say. A few moments pass and I see the doors slide open and two women walk in; a blonde and a redhead. The blonde woman is wearing a pair of leather pants, a leather corset, and a furry cape, all in white. The woman looks as though she is a dominatrix. To her right is the redhead, donning a green and yellow ensemble, with yellow boots, green pants, a yellow sash, and a green shirt with a strange yellow bird on it.
"Hi, I'm Jean", says the redhead, "and this is Emma." Jean then approaches me, but I flinch, causing her to look at me sympathetically. "No, I'm not going to hurt you", she says in a manner that one would with a hurt bird. "I'm here to help", she continues, "Emma and I are both telepaths, meaning we are able to communicate with others using our minds." I assume I gave her an inquisitive look, as the blonde woman, Emma steps forward. "If you want, we can show you", she says with a comforting smile. I speak for the first time since waking up. "Okay", I say in a sheepish tone. Emma looks me in the eyes, and I instantly hear a disembodied voice. Like this. I look to Jean in amazement and she chuckles at my shock.
"Emma and I are teachers at an institute for mutants, like you" she says cautiously. I give her a questioning look. "You don't remember, do you?" she asks. "No, I'm sorry", I say, shaking my head. Its okay, the Professor will help! I look up to see Emma smiling a warm smile at me. "So, what's your name kid?" Jean asks in a kind tone. "Ezrah", I tell her. That's a beautiful name. Jean smiles at me. I feel compelled to smile back. Suddenly I hear the jet's engine power down and come to a rest. Initiating Shutdown Sequence. The sliding doors open again and I see a man with blue and yellow spandex walk in. I assume he's Scott. "Guys, we're here", he says.
"Well, this is the institute", Jean says. "You already told him?" Scott demands. "Not everything," Emma interjects. "Well we don't know if he's Mystique or another enemy, you put us in danger by telling him anything. Why didn't you keep him subdued?" he has a loud and angry tone. Emma senses my fear. Don't worry about him, he just doesn't like it when he's not in total control. I nod at her and smile.
"He needs to see the professor", Jean says, looking at me caringly. "Whatever", he says in an aggravated tone. "Come with me", Jean takes my hand. I notice that her feet aren't touching the ground. "I warn you though", she says to me as one would to a small child, "you may be frightened by some things in the school. Just know that everything is alright, and you are among friends." Her warning makes me a little anxious. Jean pushes a button, and the white flooring to the left of us hisses, and II can see the faint outline of a rectangle. I look on in amazement as the rectangle separates into segments that turn into steps of a ramp. We then exit the jet, and I'm on my way Into the Institute with Jean guiding me.
