Disclaimer: I do not own X men. This story actually started out as an English thing but with a bit of adaptation I reckon it will be an ok mutant story. why don't you tell me?

GREEN SHADOW 1. Gold Eagle

Kelsey was an orphan.

She was alone, unknown, a ward of the state. She was just another child of the system.

Another one of those stories you cry over and then do nothing to help.

Only she was different. Kelsey grew up with a burning desire to be rich and famous and show her birth parents what they were missing out on. She had been fostered out to a few families but that had never lasted long enough for her to grasp that feeling of belonging so many kids took for granted.

It wasn't as if she was ugly. She had shoulder length copper hair, white unmarked skin that just never seemed to tan, a good figure because she was very active and full, ruby red lips. She had a nice personality, wasn't emotionally demanding and had more than her fair share of elegance and grace.

The problem was, Kelsey realised, that not many people could handle her confidence (which, at times, was better described as arrogance) her style or her attitude. Another thing that people in general didn't like were her eyes. They were a fierce copper-gold that burned like pools of molten lava. Apparently she scrutinised people as if she could see into their souls, or even see right through them.

Apparently that made people very nervous.

To Kelsey that was all right; she wasn't much of a people person anyway. She had another quality that made up for all of that. This quality seemed to be one of a kind. This quality set her apart from the rest of the kids around her. Not many kids had supernatural powers, after all.
