Bobby and Kitty were taking a romatnic walk by the moonlight outside of Xavier's School For The Gifted. As their lips locked, they could hear something in the bushes.

"Help me!" A voice said.

Bobby and Kitty ran to the bushes and saw a small little girl hiding. Her arms and legs were bleeding from being pricked by thorns from the rose bush.

"It's okay, sweetie. We'll help you." Kitty said.

"Come on."

Bobby lifted the little girl out of the bushes.

"Oh, she's bleeding." Kitty said.

"We'll get her to Beast and Storm. Come on."

Kitty and Bobby took the little girl to Beast and Storm. They sat the little girl down on a counter in the kitchen. Beast carefully began to exam the girls legs and arms. Her legs seemed to be fine. Her right arm, however, did not feel okay.

"I fear it's broken. It might take almost a whole month to heal."

"Honey, why were you in the bushes?" Storm asked.

"Because I was afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Bobby asked.

"Of this."

The little girl stared at the sink and everybody was surprised when it turned on by itself. The little girl blinked once and the sink turned off.

"Oh, so you're a mutant." Storm said.

"I can make other things move but I don't like to. It scares me."

"Why does it scare you?" Beast asked.

"Mommy told me that mutants are heathens and are demons that even the Devil doesn't like. I was worried that I was a demon."

"Then that's why you ran away." Storm said.

"Yes. I didn't want to hurt my Mommy and Daddy. I don't want to hurt anybody."

The little girl hugged Storm and began to cry.

"Sssh...It's okay. Listen to me. You are a very special little girl and you are not a demon. You just have a gift."

"Please don't make me go back to my Mommy and Daddy. They'll try to hurt me again."

"Again? What have they done to you?" Beast asked.

"Mommy hit me and Daddy called the mil...mil..."

"Military?" Kitty asked.

"Yes. That's it."

"It's all right. We won't send you back there. Can you at least tell us your name?" Storm said.

"It's Abigail. Abby."

"Well Abby, we have one room that you can have and you have lots of people to keep you company. We'll take you to see Doctor Moria tomorrow and see if she can fix that arm. Bobby and Kitty will take you upstairs and get you cleaned up."

"Come on, sweetie." Kitty said.

Kitty picked up Abby and she and Bobby went upstairs. Beast didn't seem pleased with Storm.

"What is it, Hank?" Storm asked.

"Ororo, she's a runaway. She has a family."

"A family who hates what she is. A family that can't accept she has a gift."

"I know a parent should love their child regardless if they are a mutant. Perhaps, they are afraid. I can find people who can help them. I have connections."

"Connections, Hank? Her father was going to call up the military to throw her in a cage like some sort of wild animal. Like she was some sort of lab rat."

"Ororo-"

"Her mother. Oh, her mother just went ahead and hit her and called her a demon! Hank, she is safe here. Just let her stay for a few nights."

"She's not a dog, Ororo. If we do keep her here. It must be a permenant arrangement."

"Fine. It's permenant."

Upstairs, Kitty was bathing Abby.

"Okay, soap. Where is the soap?"

Suddenly, the bar of soap began floating in mid-air and landed right in Kitty's hand.

"Thanks."

"Kitty, you don't think I'll be taken home, do you?"

"No. Storm and Beast won't let that happen."

Kitty continued to scrub the blood off of Abby's body. After she was done, she wrapped Abby in a towel and carried her to her new bedroom. She got her changed into a nightgown and tucked her into bed. She elevated her arm to keep it safe until morning.

"Good night, Abby." Kitty said.

Kitty kissed Abby on the forehead and left the room. The next morning, Abby woke up and went downstairs. There was only a few people in the kitchen. Storm, Beast, Bobby, Kitty and two people that Abby didn't know.

"Is this her?" A man asked.

"That's her." Storm said.

Suddenly, a woman who was wearing a white coat, kneeled down to Abby's level.

"Hello Abby. I'm Doctor MacTaggart.Now, I know you're scared and hurt, but I am not going to hurt you. I just want to see your arm."

Abby nodded and showed her arm to Doctor MacTaggart.

"You were right, Mr.Mccoy. It's defintely broken. Nothing I can't fix."

Doctor MacTaggart lifted Abby onto the counter.

"Okay Abby. I want to reach your arm out. Almost as if you were trying to reach for something."

Abby did so and soon Doctor Mactaggart began wrapping Abby's arm in cotton.

"What do you need the cotton for?" Abby asked.

"To make the cast.You may be surprised Abby, but sometimes mutants must heal as humans do. Now, just keep your arm perfectly still."

Abby kept her arm still for almost twenty minutes before Doctor Magtaggart finished wrapping her arm in the cotton. She soon wrapped her arm with plaster.

"Now, wait for that to dry and you should be fine. Oh, and for being a sport."

Doctor MacTaggart took out a small lollipop and handed it to Abby.

"Be careful not to choke on it." Doctor MacTaggart said.

"You're a pretty brave kid."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Logan. I live here to."

"Oh."

"Hey Abby, me and Logan need to know something. It's kind of important."

"What's wrong, Bobby?"

"Do you know why the military was called?"

"Because Mommy thought I was a demon."

"We know that part, kid, but we feel there's more to it."

"Well, he did say something else. He said "I have one." and then he hung up."

Everyone shared a stare.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Nothing baby. Kitty and Bobby will stay in here with you. We just need to talk alone for awhile."

Logan, Storm, Beast, and Doctor MacTaggart left the kitchen. Kitty used her hand to a draw a piece of Abby's hair behind her ear. In the study, everyone was pondering deeply. All of them were concerned for Abby. For different reasons.

"She's a lovely young child. I would hate for the military to lock her up." Beast said.

"Well, finally you speak some sense. We can't let anybody take her. As far as I'm concerned, she's better off here then with her parents."

"Storm, the military may be stupid but they're smart. They'll find her here and put the other kids in danger." Logan said.

"So you want them to take her?" Storm asked.

"I just want everybody to be safe. Including her."

"How can you keep the military from taking Abby without setting them off?" Doctor MagTaggart asked.

"I have a suggestion. Though, it may seem drastic." Beast said.

"Tell us." Storm said.

"Locks. Alarms. Anything that keeps Abigail's room off limits."

"It is a bit dramatic. Won't that scare her?" Logan asked.

"Perhaps. When she learns it's the only way. It should calm her." Beast said.

"I just hope you know what you're doing." Logan said.
