Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men!

Summary: "What's your name?"

"Charlotte Rose Bourdreaux"

"And your new here?"

"Yep."

"Well then, welcome to Mutant High."

Rose finds herself in a school filled with Mutants, and a whole lotta new powers. Can she save herself, or will she become Magneto's greatest weapon?

Parring:I really haven't decided yet, I'll see where the story takes it.

Author's Note: My god! Another O.C. story! I really have got to cut back on these things. Oh well, such as life. Anyhow, this is post the first X-Men movie. Remy has joined Mutant High, a younger Jamie's there too, and Jubilee's gone stir crazy! A very slight crossover with Teen Titans here. If you don't watch the show, you won't even notice.

If life doesn't make you crazy, then why bother living it?

Lex Luthor, Smallville

Prologue

I flicked a switch and a single light bulb flickered to life. I sat down on the small room's only piece of furniture, a damp, moldy mattress. The room smelled like sweat, blood, smoke, and whatever the inhabitants before me had been doing-which I really did not want to know. The wallpaper was pealing, the plaster ceiling cracking, and the window looked as if a single gust would break it.

I sighed. This was the only thing I could afford, and I guessed it was better than the street, even if just barely.

'Man, I would have taken a cardboard box over this!' Garfield whined.

"Shut up." I mumbled out loud, and pushed him and all his friends behind the mental wall they had escaped from when I wasn't paying attention. The only one I left out was Rachel, she had taught me how to put up the wall, and was the only voice I trusted.

Flashback

I lived in southern California, and had taken a vacation up the coast to celebrate my thirteenth birthday when I discovered my powers.

I was walking along, when a man jumped out, grabbed my purse and ran away.

"Hey!" I yelled "Some one stop him!" Five teens were on the other side of the street, three went after him, and two came to check on me. The girl looked around while the boy spoke to me.

"Are you oh..." The boy had touched me and my senses went into over drive. I could feel everything and it was freaking me out. A white light started coming from my skin, and it soon engulfed us. I was unknowingly taking their powers. The girl tried to stop me, but touching me only made it worse. Every inch of my skin felt like it was on fire. The pain was blinding, and I screamed in agony. Falling to my knees, they finally maneged to detach themselves from me. They had the good sense to run before the light engulfed the deserted block, and I blacked out.

I woke up a few minutes later, and ran in the other direction. I was shocked to hear a woman's voice in my head, giving me directions to my parents hotel. When I found them and tried to explain, they screamed at me and threw me out.

"You filthy mutant!" My father yelled, taking a suit case and trying to hit me over the head with it.

"Daddy, please!" I looked at mom for help. She was sitting on the bed, crying.

"NO! You are not our daughter! I refuse to be related to filth!" He bellowed, chasing me into the hallway and down onto the street. "Stay away and never come back!"

I ran as fast as I could for what seemed like forever. Coming upon a park, I slowed down and turned in.

I found a bench and sobbed for hours.

When I calmed down, one of the voices told where to find my purse, and where the bus stop was. With only a hundred dollars, the farthest away I got was Salt Lake City. From there, I hitch hiked my way to Denver. After accidentally absorbing another mutant-who insisted I call her Boom Boom-Rachel taught me how to put up a mental wall to barricade them.

After that, I ran fast and never stopped running.

End Flashback

I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed again. That was three years ago, and since then, I had absorbed a handful of different mutants. I could only use some of their abilities, but I was stuck with all their personalities in my head. I was able to use Rachel's telekinesis, Garfield's heightened senses, and I was stuck with Jenny's cat eyes. They were all so annoying some days, that I wanted to strangle myself.

"Save them the trouble." I muttered darkly.

'Your blood sugar is low.' Rachel reminded me, in a poor attempt to cheer me up. I pulled a jar of peanut butter out of my backpack, followed by two slightly squished pieces of bread. I made a sandwich, and put the jar back into my ratty old bag. I munched on the sandwich and wondered if I had made the right choice.

If I hadn't told them about my mutation, I most defiantly would not be sitting here right now. I would be on my way to some Ivy League collage prep school in the fall, not wondering if I was going to make it to upstate New York. I would be living in a posh apartment, not in shitty motels that rent by the hour. I would be dinning in fancy restaurants every night, not wondering where my next meal would come from.

"Was it really worth it?"

'Of course it was! Would you really want to live the rest of your life as a complete lie?' The others agreed with Rachel.

'I would have lied.'Jenny stated.

'Of course you would have!' Tabitha shouted. 'You're evil!'

'So what? That doesn't mean I don't have good ideas!' She retorted.

'Yes it does!' They all yelled.

"My god, would you all shut up?" I had finished eating and was now rubbing my temples, trying to ward off the approaching headache.

'But Jenny started it!' Tabitha whined.

"I don't care who started it! You will all shut up, or so help me god, I will finish it." I threatened. They quickly shut up and went behind their wall.

I dug a sleeping bag out and placed it on the bed using Rachel's powers. Laying down, I tried to ignore the sounds coming from the next room, and settled in for a long night.

I know, it's kinda short. So sue me. Anyways, I'll try to have the next chapter up this week. Key word being try. Hope you enjoyed it!
