Harlow and Kahlan were best friends which was funny because they were both mutants. Kahlan had grey wings in her back and Harlow could control the elements. They were both on a train heading to Westchester, New York. Professor Charles Xavier wanted the two girls to teach some classes.
"Kahlan ignore them" Harlow whispered. Kahlan was getting very annoyed of the weird looks that she was getting.
"Easy for you to say, you don't have a huge hunch on you back because you have wings" Kahlan snapped. It was true that Harlow didn't have wings but her hair did change colour when she start controlling the elements.
"Well we are going to a place where people will accept us" Harlow told Kahlan. Kahlan just nodded her head. She knew that Harlow's Uncle Charles Xavier was a mutant and had asked them to teach at his school for mutants. She knew that Charles was a nice guy.
"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we arrive" Kahlan said to Harlow before closing her eyes.
After twenty minutes the train had stopped. Harlow had woken Kahlan up. They grabbed their bags and got a taxi. When they arrived at the school a woman with white hair and brown skin walked up to then.
"Hi I'm Ororo Monroe or Storm. I'm guessing that you two are the new English and Chemistry teachers. I'll show you to the professor's office" she said as she grabbed their bags.
"You control the weather don't you" Harlow said to Ororo.
"Why yes I do. How did you know?" Ororo asked.
"Easy you said you were called Storm and the only reason for that would be you control the weather" Harlow explained.
"So what are your powers" Ororo asked the two of them.
"Well I have wings" Kahlan answered.
"And I can control the elements" Harlow replied. They came to a door. Ororo knocked and then they heard a faint come in. Ororo nodded to them and they walked into the office.
Harlow saw her Uncle Charles sitting in his wheelchair behind a desk. She had the biggest smile on her face as she ran to give him a hug.
"Uncle Charles!" Harlow squealed.
"Harlow, it's been so long. Last time I saw you, you were fourteen. Now look at you, you're all grown up" Professor X said as he gave his only niece a hug. "And this must be Kahlan."
"Yes, it's nice to see you again Professor" Kahlan said.
"Now on to business, you two are going to teach classes for me. Harlow you are basically the only English teacher here, but Kahlan you will teach the Chemistry. Kahlan, Ororo will show you to your classroom and bedroom and I will show Harlow" Professor X said as they left the office.
Harlow and Professor X walked down a huge hallway. Near the end of the hall they stopped. He opened the door to reveal a huge room with desks and a chalkboard. Harlow walked into the classroom she saw a desk with a vase of her favourite flower, orchids, sitting on the top of the desk.
"Do you like it?" Professor X asked.
"Yes" Harlow answered.
"This was your father's classroom when he taught here" Charles told her. Harlow just smiled. "Ok so the only classroom that's really close is the Math classroom. I would suggest you go and talk to the teacher and get to know him. He will show you to your room also. I have to go, it was nice seeing you again Harlow" Charles explained.
Meanwhile Ororo was just showing Kahlan her room. "If you need anything my room is right next door. I'll show you to Harlow's room later. You can go and wonder around the school if you want" Ororo explained.
"Thank you Ororo. I'm fine right now. I think I'm just going to unpack" Kahlan told her. As she was unpacking there was a knock on the door. Kahlan went and opened it to find a handsome looking guy.
"Hi I'm Gambit, you must be the new teacher Kahlan right" the man said.
"Yes I am" Kahlan said. She couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Well I thought I should say hello ad introduce myself since we are neighbours" Gambit said as he pointed to a door across the hall. He then winked at her and walked away.
Harlow was setting up her classroom when a handsome man with ruby glass walked into the room.
"Hello I'm Scott Summers or Cyclops. I teach Math. The professor told me to check on you and show you to your room" he said.
"Hello Scott I'm Harlow Xavier or Element. Can you show me to my room now? I would like to unpack" Harlow said to him. He just nodded and picked up her bags. As they were walking Scott kept looking at her.
"You said your last name was Xavier right?" Scott asked.
"Yes, I'm the professor's niece" Harlow explained.
"Ok. So I'm guessing you have something to do with the elements."
"Yes I control them. I can turn into them or I can just make them do what I want."
"Well that will come in useful."
"What is your mutation?"
"I shoot very powerful optic rays from my eyes. That's why I wear these glasses."
"That must suck" Harlow blurted out.
"Well here is your room. If you need help unpacking I'm two doors down" Scott said with a smile.
After he left Harlow started to unpack her bags. Not even three minutes later there was a knock on the door. So she went and opened it. There stood a guy with brown hair that was styled to look like he had ears and a girl with fiery red hair.
"Hi I'm Jean Grey and this is my boyfriend Logan or Wolverine" the woman said.
"Hello I'm Harlow Xavier or Element" Harlow said.
"Here let me help you unpack" Jean said with a smile.
"Um sure I guess if you want to" Harlow told her. Jean was in her room like a flash she started to unpack the bags and put clothes away. Logan slowly walked in to the room. No sooner had Harlow shut the door before there was another knock on the door. She opened the door and was about to yell at whoever it was when she saw Kahlan and Scott standing there.
"Scott what are you doing back here?" Harlow asked.
He held up one of her bags. "I forgot to garb this one when we left your classroom" he told her.
"Thank you. Can you put it in my bedroom please? Kahlan where is your room?" Harlow asked.
"I'm on the other side of the school. Ororo, Nightcrawler, Beast and Gambit are in the same hallway as me" Kahlan said.
"Cool. I'm really sorry about this but I really have to unpack. So I'll see at dinner" Harlow said. Harlow knew that Kahlan hated to unpack and pack up things. Harlow closed the door and walked in her room to see Wolverine and Scott fighting.
"Hey break it up now!" Harlow yelled. The two stopped and looked at her. They both had one hand around each other's necks and their free hands were in fists. Logan looked fine there were no scratches on him. But Scott had scratches and blood on his face. "Jean take Logan away from here. I'll take Scott to the infirmary."
Meanwhile Kahlan was with Ororo, Gambit and Nightcrawler outside in the garden. They were telling her about Magneto and Mystique. Ororo and Nightcrawler were summoned by the professor which left Kahlan and Gambit to wander around.
"So what do you do Kahlan?" Gambit asked.
"I have wings. Eagle wings." Kahlan responded.
"Wow that's neat. But I don't know how that will help us defeat Magneto" Gambit told her. She just ignored that. "Do you want to help me make dinner?" he asked after a period of awkward silence.
"Sure why not" Kahlan answered.
When they got to the kitchen they saw that Jean had already started cooking. She was running around the kitchen when they came in.
"Jean I was going to cook tonight" Gambit told her.
"Not over my dead body will you cook dinner for the team" Jean snarled.
"Why not?" Gambit asked.
"Because no one likes your food" Jean snapped back.
Kahlan could see that this was going nowhere so she left the two to fight. She walked to Harlow's room. She wanted to talk to her friend about the mutants.
"Harlow open the door" Kahlan said. Harlow opened the door before she could finish that sentence.
"What do you want to talk about?" Harlow asked.
"Are we allowed to have crushes on mutants?"
"Yes, Charles never said we couldn't."
"Good because I have a crush on one of them."
"Oh really who?"
"Gambit he's so cute" Kahlan said dreamily.
