Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own any of the X-Men characters, I only own my OC's. However, if I did own the X-Men characters Logan would be my cool uncle and Kitty would be my best friend X3
On another note, I hope you all enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed typing it! :D

She remembered it like it was yesterday.
"Mom, Dad? I have something I really need to tell you," She said to her parents at the breakfast table. Her Dad nodded, telling me to continue.
"I'm a mutant" She watched as their expressions changed from worry to shock to disbelief and then to anger. "What kind of sick joke are you trying to pull?" her dad said slamming his coffee mug onto the table.
"It's not a joke dad! I really am a mutant!" she stood up from her chair and watched as her dad started pacing the room while her mom just sat there in too much shock to say anything.
"Look if you want me to prove it to you I'll prove it" she ran to her room and yelled for them to come up. She opened her bedroom window and waited for her parents to get here so she could show them her power.
She watched as my parents stood by the door. "Okay, I'll prove to you guys that I'm a mutant. I can fly," she said getting ready to jump out of her second story bedroom window.
"Abby NO!" She heard my mom scream as She jumped. Unfortunately, her dad grabbed her foot before she could start flying and, due to the laws of gravity, made her whack her head against the side of the house. She must have gone unconscious because the next thing she knew she was in a hospital.
Abby?
Ugh, my head.
Abby? Can you hear me?
Yes now shut the fnck up my head hurts.
Abby if you can hear me, open your eyes
Gosh darn it!
She opened her eyes and was greeted by a very bright light. "Ack! The light! It BURNS!" she said dramatically as she threw her hands over her face. She heard a snicker beside her and immediately knew who it was.
Jenny. She and Jenny grew up together; they lived down the street from each other and would always have sleepovers as little kids. As they got older they started to notice that something weird was happening to them. Jenny could carry things a normal girl shouldn't be able to carry and Abby would feel weightless at points. It was a complete and utter coincidence that they both discovered we were mutants.
It was during a school camping trip a few years back. They had both wandered into the forest after having a fight with some other girls. Mainly about the way Jenny dressed and acted. It did not end well; Jenny punched the girl in the face and gave her a bloody nose.
"Hmp! Stupid bitch! I wish I could beat her up and not get in any trouble for it!" Jenny fumed as Abby leaned against a tree. They were close enough to the camp so they could still see it but far away enough so the people at the camp wouldn't be able to hear them.
"Relax Jenny, in a couple of years she'll be on the street corner and we'll be in university," Abby said trying to calm her best friend down. Jenny sighed. "Lemme just do something first" she said mysteriously.
All of a sudden she turned to the nearest tree, pulled back her fist and punched it with all her might making a huge dent in it. Abby stood up in disbelief.
Crack
"Jenny. What was that?"
Crrrack!
They watched as the tree Jenny punched started tipping over toward them. They moved out of the way long before it hit the ground but they were rooted to their spots.
"That. Was. Cool!" Abby giggled. She started jumping up and down out of excitement. Jenny started at her hands for a moment, and then she looked at her. "That was cool!" they giggled.
"Wait, does this mean I'm a mutant?" Jenny asked. "Only one way to find out" Abby said.
"Pick up the tree and see if you can move it. If you can then you're a mutant, if you can't then that was one heck of a punch!" she beamed. Jenny started at her, then the fallen tree and then back at her.
Abby watched in fascination as Jenny picked up the tree slowly, she picked it up with such ease. She watched as she slowly shifted and held it above her head.
She gasped then dropped it back down. "I am a mutant," she whispered. She put her arms around her for comfort. She stiffened when Abby put her arms around her. Abby frowned. "What's wrong?"
"You're not going to run away or call me freak, are you?" she looked so scared, and she had reason to be. They had both watched what had happened to mutants on the news and it was terrible!
"Never. You're my best friend Jenny. I'd never leave you like that" she said and hugged her tighter. She hugged Abby back. They both headed back to camp and swore to keep it a secret.
It was some time after that when I discovered my power. We were climbing up a tree when I lost my footing and was about to fall. Just as I was about to hit the ground I felt myself stop. I looked down and saw myself a foot or two above the ground, then I fell.
Jenny jumped down from the low branch she was on and ran to my side. "Ohmygod Abby are you okay?" she asked hurriedly. I sat up.
"Yeah, for the most part anyways…ouch, my arse…" I groaned. "If only I had a huge ass. It could have cushioned my fall" I sighed. Jenny smiled and punched my shoulder.
"So I guess you're a mutant too" she said smiling. "What?"
"When you fell, you should have hit the ground and broke your neck or something. But you didn't" her words lingered. "That's right, I stopped…" I mumbled. She looked at me and I looked at her and we both came to a silent agreement. We would both keep it a secret just like what we had done with her.
As time went on we both practiced our powers, usually in our school gym or at night when everyone was asleep.
"Hey Abby, you okay?" Jenny asked waking me from my thoughts.
I shot her a look. "Not at all Jenny" I sighed "not at all" She sighed and sat down on one of the hospital chairs.
"Where are my mom and dad?" I asked her. She told me that they were probably still at my house cleaning off the blood from the side of it. "There was a lot of blood Abby, how'd you manage to get cut up like that?" worry evident in her voice.
I sat up and felt my head. There was a bandage on the top left side of it. I winced. "I told my mom and dad about my power, they didn't believe me" I took a breath "then I tried showing them my power. It didn't turn out so well". She looked down from her seat.
"I can see that" she moved some hair out of her face and looked up. "Well your parents should be here soon, as for your head, there was a pretty nasty gash on it so the doctors had to stitch you up, nothing big, just a few minor stitches" she explained. We sat in silence as we waited for my parents to come.
About ten minutes later they showed up. But there was something weird in their eyes, something different. "Hi mom, dad" I said. They looked at me. My mom was the first to speak.
"Jenny, I think you should leave," she said coldly. Jenny looked shocked. My mom had never used that tone with her before. "It's okay mom, she knows," I told her reassuringly. My mom turned to Jenny, her expression changed from normal to furious.
"You!" She pointed a finger at Jenny. "You knew about this?" she questioned. Jenny nodded. "You knew about this and didn't tell us?" Jenny and I just sat there and listened to my mom rant on and on. "How long have you known?"
"A couple of years" Jenny answered. My mom's lip quivered as she held on to my dad for support.
"She knew David…Oh God she knew!" she sobbed. "We wanted to tell you guys but we didn't know how" I responded. I was really starting to worry. What if they didn't accept me? But they should, I mean they are my parents and I am their daughter.
"Oh God David! Oh God!" my mom clung to my dad as if he as if he was the only thing keeping her standing.
The next thing I knew my dad had dragged my mom and Jenny out of the room. I tried my best to hear them but I only heard bits and pieces of it.
"What kind of friend-"
"-not what it sounds like!"
"-Abby-"
"Oh God our daughter is sick!"
"-"
"Shut up!"
"We need - doctor to-he can -convince-mutant-"
"She's not sick! You guys are misunderstanding things!" That was the loudest.
It was a good half hour before they came back in, the only thing was, Jenny didn't come back.
"Where's Jenny?"
Silence
"Mom?" "Dad?"
"Jenny went home"
"Why?"
"It doesn't matter, the doctor said you'd be able to leave in an hour or so, he also gave us some painkillers for you" my mom handed me a small orange bottle containing a multitude of pills. From then on no one said a word until we got home.
