(Vol 1: Damnation)

"Damnation? Damnation? Damnation?" She repeated to herself "It's the one word I always hear. It has been to long since the start. The start of what though? So long since I last heard my name. What was my name?" The girl contemplated as she sat on the park bench.

A person walked by cautiously it was not normal for a person to have such pale skin and to have an eye color pure grey.

"Damnation? Damnation? Damnation?" She repeated.

"Are you okay Miss." A young boy said.

She broke the infinite cycle of that word. "Yes, but where is your mother? She must be worried."

"I don't have one." The boy said somberly.

This caused an unusual feeling inside woman. "What is this?" She thought to herself.

Sirens were heard closing in.

"Leave." She said without pause to the boy.

"Where will I go?" The boy asked.

"Anywhere, just not here." She responded.

The tires of the police cars squealed to a stop and doors were open.

"This is the police. Come quietly and no one gets hurt." The man in the blue uniform said over the megaphone.

"Damnation? It's the only word I can live, but I know something else. As long as I'm around, that is the life of those around me. So if I am going to cause it I might as well be called it" she thought angrily. She immediately stood up and with one thrusting motion a cop car flew straight across the park.

"She's a freak, get her." One of the cops shouted

They all started shooting.

In a flicking of her wrist, Damnation set up an invisible shield. She heard screaming she turned to see the little boy cowering under the bench. Again a burst of this strange new feeling shot through her.

This caused the shield to drop. Damnation was shot but the boy was torn to shreds in front of her because of a fragmentation grenade thrown by one of the police to break the shield.

At the sight of the boy's death, Damnation felt a burst of a more familiar emotion, but from where? She felt as if she would explode from the heat of this new emotion. She did.

The explosion caused half the park to fade into oblivion.

Back up came only to find a massive whole that took a chunk of the street. The only reason they knew what happened is because the one squad car had a convict in it and he was more than happy to say what happened.

"The bitch curled up after the brat died. And suddenly whoosh everything gone in a light.

The only thing the police couldn't account for was the bodies of the cops, young boy, and the girl. Later on they found a makeshift burial site for the boy. All it said was "In memory Of"

Later that day in a darkened room eight shadowy figures looked at video tapes for hours looking for the time the woman escaped the explosion.

"She could have teleported?" one voice said.

"Not enough time." Another injected

"She could have died." A man said shuffling a deck of cards.

"No, a mutant that strong couldn't have died so easily." He floated over to a paused screen of the pale woman his helmet never moved from the screen. "All we know is she is powerful, and she needs to join us."

"Damnation, Damnation, Damnation one of three words I never can forget. The others being "Freak" and … "Xavier," but why the third?" A pale woman thought as she walked up to a mansion.
