Operation Welcome

By Alpha female 01

The whole room was filled with excitement as they prepared themselves for the new arrival. Some of the Institute's attendance was at the hanger expecting the X-jet to arrive while others were at school or "sick" at home. The news of a new mutant on the way was the most exciting thing to be told since the years without any other ones.

Rouge was at the stairs while the others were at the bridge awaiting the arrivals. Kitty carried muffins in her basket, store bought of course. There was so much happiness around her it almost suffocated the others with sweet perfumes. Evan waited in the control room with the Professor, awaiting the call from the X-jet. Rhane was playing with the Jamies with a ball like children at the park. Lance was playing with his new hacky sack or trying at least. Suddenly the call came, "Charles do you read me?"

The telepath smiled at the sound of his old and trustworthy friend, "Loud and clear, Logan opening the jet doors now." Machines started to grind and the metal gates of the hanger started to open to reveal the large aircraft. The stomach opened and the four X-men stepped out. The redhead was being held by the shaded being in a loving embrace as they marched out of the jet. Logan had his usual scowl across his five o'clock shadow and his arms across his chest. Kurt smiled like he did before he and his ex broke up, it was so filled with joy and carefree feelings.

"So where's the newbie", asked the multiplier excited to see the new student of the Xavier Institute. The three older mutants looked around to find that their new comrade was no wear to be found and glared at the door of which they had just came through and then at the demon looking male. Kurt teleported inside to find cargo hold was empty like his stomach.

"Chris, come on. Everyvone is vaiting for you", spoke Kurt sounding slightly whiny like a child. He was met with silence until a sound of vomiting in the bathroom portion of the jet. Not a good sign at all. "Chris," he knocked on the door hesitatingly, "are you alvight in zere?" Her voice was muttered through the door, no words could actually understand through it, and water was the running for a short time. She finally exited out of the washroom and hung her head still covered by her black hood. "Are you…"

"I'm fine Kurt", she interrupted, "Just not used to riding in a... um. What did you call it again?" Chrys was still trying to get used to these terms that the other animals would describe as something else entirely. The embarrassment flashed across her cheeks in a pinkish rose, thankfully her hood covered her green face.

Kurt simply smiled at the embarrassment she showed in her body language; it was kinda cute and innocent. He had known that this would be awkward for her. She had never attended a public school before, heck; she never even attended a real school before. The blue fur-ball felt the same misery that she did, being the demon hiding amongst the cream was no picnic either, but he probably had it worse… right? "A jet", he answered grabbing her five fingered hand into his three fingered one, dragging her to the opening of the jet.

One glance was all it took for Chrys's stomach to want to empty again. Her mismatched eyes saw so many normal looking people, with either a smile or a blank face. Her palms got somewhat sweaty from the stares and the throat turned into the Sahara desert. Where was a watering hole, or water fountain, when you needed one? A man well in his forties no doubt moved his wheelchair towards her, sensing her distress from only a few feet. The gentleman spoke with his wise and kind voice, "Do not be frightened, we are all mutants here. I am Professor Xavier. You must be Chrysanthemum."

"Just Chrys", she corrected quietly with a hung head.

Xavier simply nodded his bald head to so-called nymph, "Dr. Jones has already shipped your things here." The hidden teen's neck straightened at the name. "He sends his regards and some supplies for school. Dr. McCoy will show you to your room." Suddenly a large human mutant stood by a white haired one, his fur was a much lighter blue than that of Kurt's, and he was much larger that was for sure. Chrys groaned at the word "school", one word she really wished that she didn't know. Once she knew that she would have to leave Kurt, her new security blanket, she gripped his hand slightly harder out of fear of coming out of her comfort zone. The Prof. saw this and spoke again, "Kurt, why don't you go with her?"

The German nodded, leading the hooded girl to Kitty first to grab two muffins from her basket and thanked her before continuing on with the other blue human mutant. The other's looked on at the inhuman looking mutants walking through the elevator doors. Evan turned to Jamie and proclaimed, "Ten bucks says they get together before the school year ends."

"You're so on."

With Kurt and Chrys

To say this place was big would be the greatest understatement in all of history. Chrys was baffled by this box moving them up like her vines would. This thing could move at a push of a button, she had the urge to jump on it like a small child but kept her composure. The silence of the small box was clearly evident and slightly awkward. Once they all go out of the small box and into a large hallway. Lights glittered from the ceilings in crystals and the floor was as polished as the metal ground from the flight room.

Kurt suddenly tried to break the ice, "So, first day of school when does she start?"

The Beast looked at Nightcrawler knowing exactly what he was doing, "As soon as we get her a image inducer. And that will be finished completely by tomorrow. Chrys, you start school in two days." She had a feeling she was going to hate regular school as much as hated normal humans.

Polls are open remember till the story ends. R&R.
