1982

Charles P. O. V.

Its 11:50pm and hank and I are getting the last finishing touches done for when the school officially opens next month. When all of a sudden I could feel another mutant in the house. Hank noticed something was wrong and asked

"Charles what's wrong"

"We aren't alone. There's another mutant in the house."

"where"

"follow me". We left my office and hank followed me towards the kitchen. Before we even got to the kitchen I heard a child's voice in my head

"hello is someone there"

"hello, child"

"who are you"

"I was just about to ask you the same thing". We went into the kitchen and saw a young girl getting ready to climb out of the window. I spoke first

"it's okay we aren't going to hurt you"

"you're the one I heard in my head"

"yes I am. I'm professor Charles Xavier and this is my friend Doctor Hank McCoy. And who might you be"

"Inara. Just, Inara no last name"

"and your parents, where are they"

"I don't have any, I ran away from my children's home"

"An orphan. You're hungry, come sit down and have something to eat you don't have to be afraid"

"who said that I'm afraid"

"I'm gifted like you, a telepath. I can see inside of your mind". The lights then flickered and water came out of the tap. The girls then said

"I'm not just a telepath". I looked into her light purple eyes and saw electricity zapping around them, purple irises were surrounded by black. When she realised what she was doing she took a step back and everything stopped. She then said

"I'm sorry, I can't always control it" I looked at hank and said

"I think we've found are first student... Inara how would you like to stay here and learn to control your gifts" she just smiled and I took that as a yes. I adopted her a few months later and have been helping her to control her gifts ever since.
