I was nervous. No, understatement, I was sitting anxiously on the subway on my way to see someone named Professor Xavier, and I think Europe could hear my heart beating. I sat with my hands in my lap, subconsciously twiddling my fingers and tugging the sleeves of my hoodie. My hood was up and I was constantly pulling it farther down over my face. Since we got time I might as well tell you a bit about me. My name is Danni. Danni Williams. I am 14 years old and a tomboy... That's it. You were probably expecting some lengthy list of my favorite things and hobbies. Well jokes on you. I don't have any. I'm not necessarily into any thing specific. Well, I dyed my hair blue so I guess that could be considered a favorite color. Oh right, you don't know what I look like yet.
I have shoulder length black hair with bangs that I had dyed blue. My eyes were silver, but they hadn't always been like that. Just before all this started to happen they had been light blue but started to fade to silver when it had started.
Flashback
"Come on 'Blue'." she said in her snobby voice. "Kick it. I know you can make it." her friends snickered. I grit my teeth. She knew I sucked at sports. And because we shared a P.E class she had to exploit that. EVEY SINGLE TIME! It was really getting annoying. Okay Ann. I thought. I am going to kick this socker ball at you. It is going to miss, but you have no idea how much I want it to hit you SQUARE IN THE NOSE! I kicked the ball and... Holy crap. It actually hit her. Exactly where I wanted it to.
A Few Days Later
I sat outside the principles office. For the second time that week. The first was for breaking Ann's nose, and now I had been accused of cheating. Yes, I had been getting straight D's in Mr. Rayman's history class, but for some reason all the answers just clicked. I sighed as my parents walked out of the room and looked down when the principle scowled at me.
On the ride home I quickly brought up the incident.
"I didn't cheat, I swear." my mom sighed.
"We know you didn't sweetie." she said.
"Aw man. What do I have to do to prove it to yo- wait what?" I babbled. "You belive me?" she nodded, not taking her eyes off the road.
"A man stoped by the house last week. His name was Professor Xavier. He told us about whats happening to you. Even what form it would take. He said it wasn't certain but if they started to manifest, to consider sending you to him."
"What are you talking about?" I asked. We came to a stop sign and my mom turned around to face me.
"You're a very gifted girl, Danni." was all she said and continued to drive home. It was my dads turn to speak.
"You should give the Professor a call when we get home." he said. "He left his number."
"Okay."
At Home
I picked up the home phone and dialed the Professor's number. After a few seconds of ringing someone picked up.
"Yes?" asked a man.
"Yeah hi." I said. "Is this Professor Xavier of Xavier institute?"
"Yes, how may I help you?" he asked.
"It's Danni." I said. "Danni Williams. You spoke to my parents about a week ago, they said I should call you."
"Ah yes." he replied. "Miss Williams. If I'm not mistaken, you've been having some advancements. Physically and mentally speaking, as well as your senses." I gasped.
"H-How do you know that?" I asked. He chuckled.
"It is my job to know what is going on with youngsters like you Danni." he said. "I am here to help. You have a gift Miss Williams. I'm here to teach you how to use it."
End Of Flashback
I jumped up when the subway came to a stop. I grabbed my suitcase and hopped out of the cart and into the hallway. I looked around for the Professor, but didn't have to look long. A bald man in a wheelchair was being pushed toward me by a pretty, white haired African American woman.
"Danni, I presume." he stated more than questioned. I nodded. "Come, I will explain everything on the way." I followed.
I walked through the hallway into a small room with a desk. "This place is so big!" I exclaimed. The Professor chuckled. "I've never been inside, or even seen, a home this big." my hood was still up but I could still see everything. I heard some people walk past the hallway. The Professor called to them.
"Scott, Jean, Kurt. Come in here and greet our new guest." I pulled my hood down even farther over my face.I was never really walked into the the room, and again I pulled my hood further over my eyes. One of them was tall, with brown hair and sweet shades covering his eyes. The next was the only girl, with red hair and green eyes. The last was about my age with blueish black hair and dark blue eyes. I looked down. "This is Danni."
"Hi." the first said. "I'm Scott, this is Jean," Gesturing to the girl. She smiled. "And this is Kurt." the last waved and grinned. "Hi. How are you?" Whoa. German. Cool. How I knew his accent I don't know. Probably the mental advancements or something, I don't know. The Professor looked to me.
"Well go on." he said "Show them what you can do." I shook my head and stepped back a little, looking down. He looked to the others. "Why don't you first." he said. "She might feel a bit more comfortable." Kurt sighed.
"She's going to hate me." Jean chuckled. "No she won't, Kurt. Here I'll go first. She pointed her hand toward a pencil on the Professor's desk. And. It. FLOATED.
"Whoa." Scott coughed. "I can't demonstrate because I'd break something." he looked to Kurt and he sighed again.
"Why don't you just show your ability." the Professor said. "You can show her the rest when she gets used to her new home." Kurt shook his head.
"I want to get it over with." Then he tapped something on his watch and... What. The. Crap. He was some kind of fuzzy, monster. He was blue, and had a tail and... Only six fingers! And then. He. TELEPORTED. I gasped, and he sighed. "I told you, Professor." he said. "I scare her." I shook my head frantically as a smile spread across my face.
"No not at all." I said. "That's super cool." he looked to me surprised. And I looked to the Professor and nodded. I took off my hoodie, and looked at them. I smiled. "I'll show you guys... And girl... My ability now."
"Sweet." Scott said. I smiled.
"Why don't we go to the training room to show them your abilities." I nodded, still smiling. "Sure thing." I followed them to the room, and before I entered the Professor handed me a box.
"I believe these are the weapons you requested." I opened the box and grinned, pulling out two ninja throwing daggers and a belt to go with them. "Go get 'em Danni." Jean said. I smiled and walked into the training room.
"Are you ready?" the Professor asked. I nodded. "Yup." he pressed a button and I got ready. Nothing happened. At least not at first. My ears twitched and I heard something click behind me. It was a gun. It fired and I flipped backward, landing on top of if and stabbing it with my new knife. Then two kind of tentacle things came and lunged at me. I belted my daggers and jumped, they hit the floor with a metallic thud and I threw my daggers while still in the air and each embedded itself in one of the machines. I landed and tugged my daggers out of the robots and put them back in my belt. The lights went off every ware except the control room, but I could still see, and I'm willing to bet they could still see me. I heard something lunge at me. I took out my daggers and ripped it open. Then a wall appeared in front of me, too high to jump over. Then one appeared behind me and started to move forward.
"Crap." I mumbled. I took my dagger and put it between the two walls. It was a tight fit but I was alive. I swung over the walls using my dagger as support and jumped out of the death trap, tugging my dagger out after me. The walls slammed closed with a loud bang and I flipped backward in the air, landing in a crouch on the ground. I was panting and I could tell they could see it in the control room because the Professor's voice came over the speakers.
"That's enough for now." he said, and I sighed in relief. "Meet us outside in the hallway." I stood up and walked out, belting my daggers as I did. I walked into the hallway and was practically tackled by Jean.
"That was incredible." she said. I smiled.
"You are no doubt tired." the Professor said. "You three may continue with what you were doing. Miss Williams, I will show you to your room." I followed him.
"So how do you like this place so far, Danni?" he asked me.
"It's super cool." I smiled and took in every detail as we walked. The rooms had numbers on them. Thank goodness, because I'd never find my way back otherwise.
"Do you think you will adjust to your new life here?" I looked to him.
"I think Kurt might take a little extra getting used to but, yeah. I think I'm going to like it here." we stopped at a room. 24, 24, 24, 24. I thought to myself.
"This is your room." I opened the door and... Holy. Crap. Was. It. Huge.
"Whoa," he chuckled.
"One more thing Danni." he said. "This is for you." it was a box and I opened it. The only part I saw was a black square with an X in the center. I knew it was a uniform, and I knew I'd see the rest of it later.
"What do you think of the name, Sapphire?" I looked at him and grinned.
"I love it." he chuckled. "Welcome to the X-Men, Sapphire."
