Chapter One: Layla and Munya

A/N: This story will be a slice of life with some action here or there. It will be following mostly with my ocs and each chapter will be focusing on one or two with some minor characters. But the main three would be Layla, Johan, and Lilith as the major characters while the others will be recurring unless they become popular. The three major characters are mutants and do go to the Xavier School. But I'll try to keep each chapter short with none exceeding a thousand words. And each chapter will be interconnecting, I hope.

Layla woke up early again. She had to get up. And despite her older sister, Munya, graduating from Ladies of Mercy private school since last May they still have their morning jog. Sooner or later Ruya, one of their younger sisters, will join since she got in this August.

Walking over to her closet while brushing her hair with her fingers. Her finger brushed against her Holland Lop-like ear. Layla gently pulled her ears and hair into a loose ponytail before putting on her hijab. A simple grey tracksuit and specially made tennis shoes were put on before she left the house.

She jogged to the meeting place. Munya looked both bored and peeved when she lay her eyes on her younger sister.

"You're late," Munya flatly stated.

"I had to get ready," Layla smiled.

"Why don't you accept Xavier's offer? It would make your life easier."

"But I'll hear 'She's naked, oh God she's naked' from Johan," Layla laughed.

Munya's eye twitched. Johan had known her before she wore the hijab. In fact, it has only been three years since she started to wear one.

"Why are you friends with him again?"

"You have a rivalry with Lilith."

"I'll never understand that family," Munya coolly stated.

Both started to jog. They start talking about what was going on with each other lives. Munya will be going to the local university while she works for Ladies of Mercy. She only got it since she was in the top three percent of the graduation class and had 36 wins with 33 K.O. The highest in the Ladies of Mercy unless Layla keeps up with her wins.

"Forgot you started working as a one the Court Guard," Layla said. "You know you can't judge or be the referee my matches."

"It doesn't matter," Munya said. "I'm still at the bottom and I won't do much until I get my degree."

They jog a mile with little talk.

"Is mom planning to take us to see her parents?"

"She's thinking about it," Layla said. "She mostly wants Aisha and Farah to meet them. To understand the Shlḥi side of the family."

Munya didn't respond. She still remembers going with Layla during the summer to live with them. This was when they still lived in Canada and before their mother got a job with Ladies of Mercy as a teacher and a coach for Kun Gek Do.

"Speaking of mother," Layla smiled. "She endorsed Johan's younger sister Hilda and will be picking up her martial art."

Munya didn't say anything. She has nothing against the family but wondered why they want to join theirs so much.

A/N: Shlḥi is what Shilha people call themselves. They are Berber tribe found southwestern mountains, Sous River, and southern coastal regions of Morocco. And Layla and Munya's mother is a member but she married their father before moving to the West.
