Chapter 1: The New Mutant
Alima Robinson had just woken up, and she stretched and walked into her bathroom. Once she was inside, she studied her reflection in her mirror. A young, half Arabian, half black (and part Irish) girl of 18 looked back at her, with almond shaped, honey colored eyes, a cute nose, and a curvy mouth. Her complexion was a cinnamon brown, and she was at a height of 5'6".
She raced downstairs and called out, "Mom? Dad?", in a light Arabian accent. She ran into the living room, where her parents were sitting with a man she had never seen before. He was in a metal wheelchair, and he was dressed in a plain suit and he was bald, but he had a certain vibe of extreme power to him. She moved into the room, saying, "Mami? Dad? What's going on?" Her mother, Aden Robinson, looked at her daughter and said, "Ali, this is Professor Charles Xavier. He runs a special school in upstate New York." The man just stared at Jamie, and she thought to herself, 'Why is he staring at me like that? What does he want with me anyway? I'm not special', and then Professor Xavier smiled slightly and said, "On the contrary, miss Robinson. You are very special."
Alima gasped and said, "How did you………," but Charles cut her off and said, "I myself am special, just like you. I am what you call a mutant. Mutants are people who were born with a special gene inside of them, that gives them a certain ability. I am a telepath, which means I can read people's minds, and send out messages with my mind." Then, he looked at Alima and said, "When did your powers make themselves known, if you don't mind my asking?" She sat down opposite Charles and said, "Well, it was about a year ago, when I turned 17. I was in the bathroom and I was about to brush my teeth, and I reached to my left for my toothbrush and saw that my hand had disappeared. Then, I realized that my hand was still there, but it had turned invisible. I could see right through it." Charles then nodded and said, "Interesting. Do you think you could demonstrate?" Alima nodded, and she stood up and concentrated, and after a couple of seconds she turned completely invisible. Charles just looked at her, deep in thought, and she soon reverted back to being visible.
Alima sat back down and said, "So, Professor, what do you at this school?" He smiled and said, "At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, we help other young mutants like yourself learn how to control their powers, and use them to help people." Ali looked at her parents, and she thought for a minute, then she looked back at Charles and said, "All right! I'm in. I'll go with you to the school!"
After that, Ali had gone upstairs and packed her things. She then walked outside to meet Charles, when a large jet came out of nowhere and landed in front of her house. She walked up beside Charles, who said, "This is the X-Jet, one of our modes of transportation at the school." The door opened, and out stepped a young woman who looked to be about 5 years older than Ali. She was very pretty, with deep red hair that fell to the middle of her back and deep green eyes. She was the same height as Ali, and she walked up to them and said, "Hey, professor. Are you ready to go?" He smiled and said, "Yes, Jean. Alima, this is one of my original students, Jean Summers. Jean, this is Alima. She's new to the academy." Jean stuck out her hand and said, "Hi, Alima. It's nice to meet you!" She shook Jean's hand and said, "Hi, Jean. It's nice to meet you, too."
So, with that, Alima turned to her parents and hugged them, saying, "I'll call you as soon as I get there. You both have my cell number, and I have yours. I'm going to miss you both so much! I love you both!" Her father said, "We love you, too, Ali. We'll miss you!" She smiled, and she, the Professor and Jean boarded the X-Jet. It took off, and Alima spent the whole ride talking to Professor Xavier about the school. Then, they arrived in the school, and Alima took her bags and followed Jean and Charles upstairs to meet everyone else.
