Now this is omething that people are probably going to hate. I can guess that straight off. I will plead ignorance on much of what is in these as what little I know is based on the comics that my brother used to get and the films for the looks of some of the characters.
I am also fully aware of the fact that Amanda is a bit OTT but oh well it's based on comics everything is in those!

Amanda was sure that for an event that was going to change her life so much it should have been raining. It just was not fair for it to be bright sunshine. The plane had been on time foor once and she had had little trouble getting through the busy airport. Her bags had all arrived and none of them had headed of to Israel this time. She had never managed to get the bags back that had made that little detour. The house itself was very quiet when she arrived, from the reaction of the driver when he had dropped her off at the gates she had expected something very different to the old style house that confronted her when she finally managed to reach the top of the drive.
Making sure her white blonde hair was as tidy as she could make it she knocked on the door rather hesitantly. Since her abilities had become much more noticeable she had been very careful about who knew about them and now that she had the opportunity to try and bring them under some sort of control she was still very wary and sensed a trap. The door was opened by a very tall woman with white hair which contrasted very starkly with her dark skin.
"Can I help you my dear ?" the woman asked
"ummm yes. I was invited to come and meet a Charles Xavier. Have I come to the right place?" Amanda said
"You are Amanda Palmer ?"
"Yes."
"We have been waiting for you. If you'll just come in then I will see if the Professor is free."
Amanda followed the woman into the house, she was left in a panelled hall while the other woman disapeared into the house. A few minutes later a man came towards her,
"Hi. Orro asked me to take your bags to your room while you meet with the prof. I should expect you'll be with us a while so brought quite a bit." he said.
"Hello. I don't know how long I'll be here. And I only brought these bags." Amanda said staring at the lock of white hair on his head. He looked young maybe a year older than her and the lock of white hair just didn't seem to look right. Despite this and the friendly smile there was something in his eyes which made him look much older.
"No problem. I'll take them up and then wait for you here." he said and with no effort picked up the bags and went up the stairs leaving Amanda alone again looking slightly bewildered. She was not left alone for long before Orro returnned and led the young woman along a corridor to an opened door. Amanda walked in and the door was closed quietly behind her. She was left facing a man in a wheel chair.
"How was your trip Amanda ?" he asked
"It was plesant enough." she replied guessing corectly that this was Professor Xavier
"What exactly do you expact me to be able to do for you Amanda ?" Xavier asked
"I want to be able to control what I can do with these. I presume you know what I can do or you wouldn't have asked me to come here."
"You do not want to loose these abilities then?" Xavier asked quite surprised many people who came there especially at the age Amanda was just wanted to get rid of them.
"No. I can live with them as they are it's just the fact that I have no control of them that causes a problem. I was with my boyfriend at the time and I had a glimpse of the future which was not pleasant. It is interfering with my life and as soon as I have enough control of them to be able to carry on with my life with no problems then I will be completely content with them."
"I can teach you control of the telepathy that you can wield, the pregocnative abilities are a bit more difficult as there are so few mutants who have ever displayed them and there are none that I know of at the moment who have them (A/N I don't know if this is true. I can't think of any certainly)." Xavier said. In truth he was hoping that she would agree to sty with them as if what she was capable of became common knowledge then many people would be after her for her abilities. In his school at least she would be protected from them and would be able to see what he was trying to before joining in with any idea about mutants being superior to humans.
"I would be grateful to you if you can teach me to control the telepathy as that is the newest of the abilities, the precog stuff has beenw ith me for years it is just recently that it has become so common though." Amanda said thinking of some of the things that she had seen. Sometimes it was when she touched a person that she saw things and other times it was randomly.
"I will start your controling lessons next week. I am just waiting for your detailos to arrive from your old school in England before I decide what lessons will be best for you to take part in. I shall ask Nathan to look after you as he does not partake of my lessons no matter how much I might want him to. He should be quite happy to show you around. If not Kurt will." Xavier said.
"Thank you again. You have been very kind to me, I did not expect that when I found out that these abilities were getting out of my control."
"There are more people who do not see abilities like yours as a curse in the world than you might think." Xavier said with a smile "Now Nathan will show you to your room and I shall ask him to collect you for a meal in the evening as I am sure that you are tired after travelling all day."
"Thank you again." Amanda said as she left the room closing the door quietly as she went. The young man with the white streak in his hair was waiting for her.
"Hello again." he said
"Are you Nathan?" Amanda asked wondering who he was.
"I'm Nate Grey." He said and held out his hand for her to shake. Amanda gripped it lightly and was preparing to pull her hand back when she had one of her flashes.
Nate was lying on a bed, he looked only slightly older than he was at presant but his face was lined with pain. There was no doubt in her mind that he was dying and that there was nothing that could be done to save him. Shadowy figures stood by the bed only two were in clear focus a red headed woman and a man with red glasses. She had never seen these two yet knew they were connected to him in some way. Amanda could feel a pull towards the bed but likewise a similar pull to someone else who stood very close to the bed but who was completely in shadow.
"Amanda, Amanda?" Nate called sharply seeing her go white and her eyes go black. She shook her head and her eyes reverted to there normal brown.
"I'm sorry." she whispered still shaking
"What did you see?" he asked holding her round the waist sure that otherwise she would fall down
"Your death." she whispered before her eyes rolled up in her head and she collapsed in a faint.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
What did you think ?
I know that Nate Grey does eventually die because of his abilities but I'm not sure exactly how so I'm doing my own spin on it.
Likewise I don't know which of the characters leaves between when I stopped reading comics (just after Colossus dies) and Nate's death so anyone who shouldn't be in it but is just put down to this being an AU.
If you like/hate this then let me know as I like to know what people think before I carry on with stories.
