I ran, my tears mixing with the rain.

How could he do this? I thought he loved me, that he cared about me! But he killed my boyfriend, and now he was going to kill me too. My own father.

I looked down at my arms, glistening in the streetlight. They were some sort of crystal, quartz or diamond. I was a mutant.

My powers had manifested a few minutes ago, at any other time it would have been welcome, but in the midst of a Friends of Humanity mob was a bad place. Now I was running for my life.

I screamed as a bullet whizzed by my head, running faster. I ducked into an alley, climbing a chain-link fence, then dodging another bullet, running into an alley.

"Help!" I screamed, terrified. "They're going to kill me!" I barreled past a girl in a trench-coat with a African woman with white hair.

I ducked into an alley. Dead end. The term had never sounded more appropriate. I ran back out and froze as a man aimed his gun at me.

"Wind and water, save the child!" Shouted the woman, raising her arms as a wall of rain slammed against the 'friends'. I gasped. "Jubilee, get her to the X-Van!" She told the girl.

"Okay Storm!" She said, dragging me to a van.

"Storm?" I asked.

"Yeah." She answered. "One of the X-Men." One of the X-Men.

"Cool." I said. Then I saw a man aiming a gun at us.

"OMIGOSH LOOK OUT!" I screamed, pushing Jubilee down. As the man fired I brought my hands up to my face, then everything went black.
