The Lady Arrives at Xavier's School:Part 1

Disclamer:Marvel owns the X-Men but I own Shannon

Shannon D'Angelo stood in the hallway of the pool hall and has a phone number in her

hand."Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters" she mutters under her breath as she dials

the number and the phone rings.


At the mansion,Logan picks up the phone and hears a female voice with a accent that

sounds very familar.Logan asks the woman on the other end "Are you in need of help?".

"Yes,my name is Shannon and I am a mutant.I have been on the run for the last six months

and I was just beaten up because of my power" she tells Logan."Where are you? Logan

asks Shannon and she answers,"O'Malley's Bar and Grill"."Give me twenty minutes.

Where will you be?" Logan asks."Back booth,I am the girl in the red dress and with a pool

cue",Shannon tells Logan.


As Logan pulled into O'Malley's he saw the girl he talked to through a window.She

looked like she had been beaten pretty good as she stared out the window.Logan went

inside and headed over to Shannon.He noticed the gloves and wondered what her power

is."Hi,we spoke on the phone.I'm Logan" he tells Shannon."My name is Shannon and

pardon the way I look." she tells Logan."You look like you were beaten up" Logan

admits and asks Shannon,"Your accent sounds like a guy I know.Are you from New

Orleans?". "Yes,I am" Shannon admits with a very small smile.Logan asks,"What is the

nature of your powers?". "I can charge things.When I throw it,big explosions happen.I

also have this power where I just look at someone and he or she comes to me.I guess it

could be called charm" Shannon tells Logan."No offense,but you could be a female

version of Remy" Logan tells Shannon with a smile."Who is this Remy?",Shannon

wonders."This guy I know at the school.His powers are the same as yours and he is also

cajun" Logan explains to her.He asks Shannon,Ready to leave?". "Yes,just give me a

minute to hobble out" she tells Logan as they leave and return to the mansion.As Shannon

and Logan head for the msnsion she remembers the night she escaped the Thevies

Guild.The only thing on her mind was finally being able to mourn her parents death and

the fact that she had been lied to all these years about her father's double life.


As Shannon and Logan arrive at the mansion one hour later,Remy sees her and sees a

piece of himself in the young woman.Her blue eyes streaked with inner pain and the

darkness that seemed to burn in her eyes spoke through.He wondered if she was the girl

he had heard escaped the Guild six months before.Shannon felt the same thing as she saw

Remy.Little did she know that they had more in common than meets the eye.Logan and

Shannon go into the mansion and he tells her,"You will go and speak with Professior

Xavier and be tested on the strength of your powers and basically enroll in the school."

Shannon tells Logan,"Fair enough" as she limps along.Logan sends a heads-up to Jean

that she may need to take a look at Shannon's ankle later on.Professior Xavier saw

Shannon and Logan's arrival and noticed that Shannon shared many of the feelings that

Remy had when he first came to the mansion.He also saw the young woman's powers and

her escape from the Thevies Guild six months before.He heard Logan's knock and called,

"Come in,Miss D'Angelo".Shannon entires the office and Professior Xavier tells her,

"Your safe now" as he saw he being attacked just a few hours before."No offense,but how

did you know that" Shannon asked out of intigue."I have telpathy and I saw what had

happened to you before you called from the pool hall" Professior Xavier tells Shannon.As

he spoke to shannon Professior Xavier saw the bags under her eyes and decided to

postpone testing untill the next day in order for Shannon to sleep.At that moment,Rogue

came into the office and waited at the door for Professior Xavier to speak."Shannon,this is

Rogue.The two of you will be roomates" he told Shannon.Rogue came over as he spoke,

"Your testing will start tommorow,first you need some sleep and your ankle needs to be

looked at.Rogue,will you take Shannon to Dr.Grey to have her foor looked at?". "Sure"

Rogue told him as she slipped her gloved hand toward Shannon,"Come on,hold on

to my hand and we're get that ankle checked out" she tells Shannon as they leave and go

to the medlab.


Next part:Shannon starts her training and gets settled into the school.
