Chapter 1: A Firestar is born

Note: I don't own X-men:evolution, or Firestar, or Bonnie, or her dad... Heck, I don't even own the title of this chapter. Also, this is my first FanFic, so bear with me.

"Moving? Why?!?!"

"Angelica, you're the one that suggested we move in the first place."

"Well I never thought you'd take me seriously!" Angelica Jones crossed her arms and pouted. She was 15, going on 16, in her second year of high school, good at science, and a generally friendly person. Angelica also had a secret, and a problem.

"Angie, I know how those girls treat you, you just need to get away from all of that." Her father, Batholomew Jones, was a hard working man. He did his best to make a living, but it wasn't enough. The Jones family had little money to spare.

"Daddy, we can't afford to move… We can barely afford this apartment!"

"But Angel, you need out of that school." Angelica bit her lip, her school was horrid. The girls, especially Bonnie, insisted on teasing her, calling her Ms. Angelica Jinx after the time in 1st grade when she accidentally melted Bonnie's dollhouse. (And later her snowman.) From there it had become worse. Bonnie and her friends played cruel pranks on Angelica and just wouldn't stop.

"Ok, but where will we go? Where will we stay?"

"A small town called Bayville. Your Nana lives there, we'll stay with her for now."

"Nana? I get to see Nana again??"

"Yup. We're leaving in a week."

"Oh daddy!" The girl hugged her father. "I love you."

Later in her room, Angelica decided it was a good time to 'practice'. After she had melted Bonnie's dollhouse, she figured that she had some sort of ability… Some special power. She had told no one, trying to figure it out on her own. She discovered that she could conduct heat to warm objects, even create fire in some situations. By placing her hands on an object, Angelica could heat it. She could also blast her heat waves out. If she focused and conducted enough heat, she could start flame.

Angelica's room was filled with melted objects that she had tested her powers on. Holding a coffee cup tightly in her hands, she focused on warming the coffee and nothing else. The cup melted like the others. Sighing, she set it down and tried to light a candle. After a few tries, she got it right. Deciding that was enough, Angelica Jones fell asleep.

The next day-

Angelica was in a hurry. She was almost late and had to get in her history paper.

"Well if it isn't miss Angelica Jinx."

"Get out of my way Bonnie, I don't have time for this."

"Oh, but there's no fun in that!" Bonnie said, grinning. She snatched Angelica's papers and threw them in the air. "See ya Miss Jinx!" She called as she and her friends ran away.

Angelica franticly tried to grab her papers, chasing after them as they blew around. Afterwards, she realized that she felt sort of funny. Sort of… Light. Looking down, Angelica saw that she was standing on nothing. She was flying! Laughing, Angelica totally forgot about Bonnie and the class and simply flew for a while.

One week later-

"You ready Angie?"

"Yeah." Angelica climbed into the passenger seat of her father's car. As they drove off, she turned back and waved goodbye to her home. A home she was leaving forever. The girl was sad, but the future was bright. In this new town there was opportunity. And Angelica would live a new life, she could be anyone. But she didn't count on "anyone" being a mutant hero…
