Episode 1

Power surge

Rania cringed when she felt her eyes opening, at first she'd expected her mom to rush in and wake her up for school, but then she remembered, she wasn't allowed to go to school.

She coughed and then discovered she wasn't on her bed she was on the ground, on top of a pile of ash! She got up with a start and then gasped. She then remembered what had

happened. She looked around feeling blood oozing down her cheek from a big gash and everywhere on her body ached, but not as much as her head. She groaned and then felt blood in

her hair and then forced herself on her knees. She then looked around at what once was her room, the purple walls had collapsed and were covered in ashes and the things she'd built

in school for woodwork were either lit a flame or were smoking at her feet. Her porclen dolls she'd collected lay on the ground after falling off her dresser and then shattering into too

many pieces to count. Although she did see one underneath her fallen-lit-a-flame dresser that looked like it survived a little bit and perhaps was fix able. She pulled it from under the

dressser and whipped the ash off the dolls face thankful only to see a small minor crack down the porclen dolls chin. She looked at her closet, all her dresses and her old graduation dress

from elementary lay on the ground with a scramble of hangers and all in tatters. She stared at the clothes she was wearing now, her whole right sleeve had been singed off and her left

jeans leg was ripped up to her knee, and she was covered in blood and bruises. She then noticed her ceiling and half the roof was missing, letting sun shine through. She picked herself

up weakly and felt tears role down her face when she discovered she could see right through the whole house, everything was destroyed! Her pool had caved in on itself and the bricks

left from the patio were scattered everywhere, and the street! Trees were over turned or had fallen down and some were still lit a flame and houses were burned down to the ground

and there was not one person in sight, and no sirens! Wait if there were no sirens or anything in the city of Langley, that only meant one thing, the whole town was destroyed and she

was the cause of the heat wave. She shivered at the thought, but then as she backed away from her wall facing out to the street she felt her heel role on something. She looked back

then shrieked at two corpses laying down on her floor, there sculls rotting away. She screamed and fell on her knees recognizing what they were wearing. She screamed "NO! NO!

Please mom, dad! I need you! Please come back! I'm sorry I didn't mean it! Please somebody anybody help me! Help! Help me!" Suddenly a little girl with blond hair peered into the room

and began to sniffle. Rania turned around at the familiar sniffle and then scooped up her sister. They sobbed for a long time embracing each other. Finely Rania said while still sniffling a

little "We-we have to leave. If I did-didn't destroy the planet people will be out looking for the mutant that destroyed Langley." The girl nodded still sniffling and Rania looked at her

twisted leg and then swung the girl on her back while picking up a farely large piece of a blanket and the doll and anything they needed and then pilled it all into a back pack and they

started down the street, but as she was turning down the corner as she heard her sister's gentle snores she saw a ripped flyer on the ground, it said something about the Xavier

institute, she'd heard her parents say it was for bad people, she'd always known her mother and father had been referring to mutants and for a bit she thought they were what

everyone else was saying, people that could use their powers for weapons and end all of humanity, of course Rania had never thought she'd become one of them. She saw an address

on the paper and pursed her lips, if she went there she would be welcome as a mutant, but her father was the mayor of Langley and had been hiring people to build weapons against

mutants, how would they react to that? She knew Xavier was kind from reviews she'd read about in the paper and interviews he'd had that she'd watch on the television, but what

would the students think of her? She sighed not knowing how this was going to work out, but then she made up her mind and folded the piece of paper and put it in her pants pocket,

she then pulled her hood over her head from her new jacket she'd picked up and then began to walk.
