Boston, Massachusetts. Lin hit by her father. She gets her bags.
"You're trash. You'll always be trash." Mr. Harris said
"No. I'm not. You're just a mean, old, abusive, drunk, of a dad." Lin said
"Watch your tone young lady." Mr. Harris said
"Make me." Lin said
"You know. All of these people will find out who you are and by god. I hope they'll kill you. (She heads for the door. But he grabs her shoulder and she uses her water power for hydrokinesis to move him at the wall and he got wet.) You freak." Mr. Harris said
She didn't say a word. So she leaves.
She took the train.

Cab driver stops at Xavier Manior.
"Thank you." Lin thanking the cab driver
She hands the driver money but the driver refuses.
"I can see that someone like you have powers." Cab driver said
"How do you know that?" Lin asked the Cab driver
"I have kids of my own with special gifts and this place has gifted youngsters. I have a friend in there who can help. You should fit right in." Cab driver said
Lin nods. The Cab driver drives off. She picks up her suitcase and walked up towards the door.
"You can do this." Lin said to herself
She knocks on the door. A red headed woman opens it.
"Hi." Jean said
"Hi. I...well, I was hoping that you can help me. Heard that this place is for people like me" Lin said
"Come on in." Jean said

"Yes. Some reason, I felt like that I had to come here. I needed too..." Lin said as Jean finishes her sentence
"Get away from your abusive father." Jean said
"Exactly. How do you know that?" Lin asked Jean
"Because I can read your mind." Jean said it in her telepathy
"I watch the news about mutants. People with powers. That would be me and others." Lin said
"Hydrokinetic." Professor Xavier said
Lin gets out of her seat as she holds out her hand. She floats water out of his cup and make it go back down in the cup.

"Everything's beautiful here. I'm feeling home at here already." Lin said
"Good." Jean said
"Where's the rest of the teachers?" Lin asked Jean
"Storm and Scott went on a mission." Jean said
"What kind of mission?" Lin asked again
"Picking up two mutants." Jean said
"Oh. Ok." Lin said
"You must be tired after a long trip." Jean said
"Yeah." Lin said
"I'll show you to your room." Jean said

"I got that." Lin said
"Your name?" John asked Lin
"I might tell you. But then I have to kill you." Lin said it as a joke
John smiled a little bit.
