Angel and the X-Men: prologue
As Charles Xavier looked out across the schools garden he saw many of his students doing each their own activities. One in particular he saw was his newest student Dove Kelex. She was timid, that much about her everyone knew. Her X-Man name; Angel, fit her perfectly, her mutation helped with that. She had angel like wings that caused her to fly. She was indeed lovely, there was no doubt about it, Xavier doubted she believed that though, mostly given her background. Before she came to the institute she lived in Oregon.. She was imprisoned by her own father, her mother died years before. He was the mayor and made an example for all mutants out of her. When her mutation advanced at age seven, it was made clear of what she was. So her father took her in front of the town he worked for and announced that he was so devoted to the safety and happiness of them all that he was willing to turn in his own daughter. He took her to the state prison and dumped her there. The warden was uncaring to mutants, not even to little girls did he show kindness, so he locked her away in the lowest level underground. The only human contact she ever had was the officers who gave her one meal a day. She never left her cell, she was shut off from the world. One day years later there was a prison riot and the escapees let everyone out, including Dove. From there she ran out, she never learned how to fly. She ran until she reached an alley and collided with another mutant who told her about the institute. She didn't have any other option. So she made her way here, and as of yet had not made any progress at all. Charles was indeed worried for her. She stayed away from everyone, only talking if she had to. She hid in the shadows when many people were around until she could escape. She really was like a bird, flying away when people got near, though she still didn't know how to actually fly. Someday Xavier thought, She will become one of us, hopefully.
