Chapter 1 – First Day
"Welcome to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters Warren, or should I call you Angel?"
"Thanks Miss Munroe and, uh, I'd prefer Warren."
"You can just call me Storm. Remember Warren, don't be ashamed of your abilities okay? Well, it's getting late and you should go to your room. Don't forget, the Danger Room at 5:00 tomorrow for your first training session! Night!"
"Night." he whispered as he watched Ororo Munroe walk off.
As he walked down the halls of Xaivier's, he couldn't't help but go over the recent events of his life. He came to this school a month ago to seek a temporary home and safety, but ever since the battle at Worthington labs, his plans of leaving the country were "removed" from his list of things to do. Now he was a student and part-time "X-man". "Second floor, Summers Hall, third door on the left, ah there it is." he said to himself as he approached his room.
It was pretty small compared to his room before(which was HUGE), but he knew he could manage, after all, he had to manage since he'd be living here for the rest of his life. The bad was comfy, and there was a balcony, so he could go and fly whenever he wanted to. After changing, he flopped onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Warren got up and decided to explore the mansion. As soon as he closed the door, he got his first taste of living in a school for mutants: a girl just passed through the wall and bumped into him.
"Oops! Sorry!"
He was standing in front of a pretty, petite, brunette hands on her arms. He quickly let go as to avoid a possible awkward moment.
"Oh! Uh, it's okay. Uh, how the hell did you do that?"
"I can pass through walls. Kitty Pryde," She extended her hand. "At your service. You can also call me Shadowcat by the way"
"Warren Worthington, the third," he hesitated, then said, "or Angel."
"So, what's your ability Warren?"
"I fly."
"You fly huh. That's it?"
Warren didn't know what to say. No matter how much he was told that his wings were beautiful, he still was ashamed. But he knew that he had to face the fact that he was a mutant.
"Hey you know, you don't have to answer that question. It's okay if your uncomfortable with your powers. I know I was when-"
"I have wings."
Kitty stared at him for a few seconds in what seemed to be awe and disbelief.
"W…w…wings?"
"Yep. Wings."
"Wow, uh I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate and-"
"Forget about it."
"Hey I know what I can do to make you fell more at home."
"What?"
"Just follow me."
All of a sudden, Kitty started walking down the hallway and down the stairs. As Warren followed her, he couldn't't help but smile about his newfound friend. She skipped down to the game room and before he could enter, she brought out 3 other mutants.
One was tall, buff and grinning, the other was medium height with sandy brown hair, and the last had white streaked hair, gloves and a serious expression.
"Warren, this is Piotr Rasputin, Bobby Drake, and Marie."
"Warren? Aren't you the son of the guy who invented the cure?" the one called Piotr said.
"Geez, Colossus, don't be so blunt!"
"It was just a question Bobby!"
"Fighting like an old couple," Kitty mused.
"I am his son."
"See popsicle! I was right!"
"So you were the guy who saved his dad during the Alcatraz battle?" said Marie out of nowhere.
"Yeah that's me."
"Ok can we please stop talking bout Warren's dad and eat? I'm starving!"
"Yeah, Kitty's right. Let's eat on this table." Bobby pointed to an empty one by a big window.
The group ate heartily and Warren got to know them better. Bobby could make and manipulate ice. "That why Piotr called him popsicle." he thought. Marie could absorb a mutant's power just by touching them, and Piotr could "become a big metal slab" as Bobby put it. After lunch, Bobby and Marie had to go study and Piotr had to fix "the jet" or whatever that was. So it was just Warren and Kitty left. After a while of just sitting there and playing with their leftovers, Warren broke the silence.
"Hey, uh do you have any idea where the Danger Room is?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, the danger room. Uh why do you ask?"
"I have a training session with Storm at 5:00."
"Really? Well I'm going there later at around 5:30. I'll show go with you there later. It wouldn't hurt to be early."
"Oh, yeah, ok. Well, uh what were you thinking awhile go? Before I asked you where the danger room was?"
"Oh, it was nothing, homework stuff that's all."
"Ah, ok."
After more shallow talk, they said goodbye and went to their rooms. Warren was wondering what was up with Kitty. She was so happy and smile-ey when they bumped into each other, then when they got to the cafeteria, she just got so quiet. He knew something was wrong.
