Teenage Mutants

Chapter 1- Ororo

Charles Xavier looked out the window from his office. There was thunder storm going out side. Thunder boomed and it was raining heavily and fog covered the lawn. There was nothing wrong with a thunder storm. Nothing unnatural about it. The only problem was that it was sunny skies and a warm day just 2 minuets ago and suddenly, unnaturally, a storm had appeared out of no where. This had Charles worried. He heard a knock on the door and Charles tore his gaze away from the window.

"Third time this week," said Eric Lehnsherr or Magneto for short. Charles Xavier was founder of Xavier school for gifted youngsters. In other words a school and safe haven for mutants where they could learn to control their power.

"Yes, I think it's time we find out who is making this weather," Charles said, strolling over to Magneto. He nodded and they both headed out of his office. They strolled down under the school where they kept Cerebro. Magneto had helped build this machine which allowed them to mutants that were lost. Charles put the helmet on his head and concentrated, alone in the big round room.

People appeared in front of his eyes, but not the one he was looking for. He was in the city, he could tell but it was moving far away from the city. Instead he was moving out into outskirts and into open road. Finally he came to a small town and it skirted out into the forest. Now in colour appeared a young girl. She had long white hair and she was huddled under a tree, raining falling around her, but not on her. She was alone. Charles broke the connection and took of the helmet. He went strode back out and found Magneto still waiting.

"She's a young girl, alone in a forest," Charles said as he kept walking and Magneto fell into pace with him.

"We'll go immediately," Magneto stated a small smirk gracing his lips.

They headed to the garage. They moved through the halls where students were walking about.

"Excuse me professor, but what's going on with the weather?" Jean Grey asked. Charles smiled at the young telepath.

"Nothing of concern, my dear," Charles said, soothing young girl. Jean nodded and the professors continued on. They took a fast silver car and Charles drove. It took them an hour to reach the little town.

They parked and stood out into the heavy rain. Charles lead the way without word into the forest. They walked for ten minuets in the heavy rain and finally the spotted her. Rain circled the girl but did not touch her. Charles and Magneto approached slowly. She had long white hair and her skin was a light brown, almost a coco colour. She was beautiful, slim, athletic and nicely curved. A duffle bag laid by her feet. She looked up revealing dark brown eyes. She flattened herself against tree, looking shocked.

"It's OK, we are not here to harm you," Charles said as thunder boomed in the sky. The young girl didn't move.

"I'm Charles Xavier," Charles introduced.

"I'm Eric or Magneto. We are just like you. Mutants," Magneto said. The rain slowed and eventually stopped, as did the thunder.

"What's your name?" Charles asked kindly.

"Ororo Munroe," she said quietly, standing up.

"It's nice to meet you, Ororo. How long have you been out here?" Charles asked.

Ororo shrugged.

"We run a school for gifted youngsters. For mutants such as ourselves," Magneto said. "You are welcome to join us."

"Become apart of our family," Charles said. Ororo flinched at the word family but the storm was clearing as was the fog and it was becoming warmer again.

"You want me?" Ororo asked, shock evident in her tone.

"If you would like to join us," Charles asked. Ororo nodded. Both men smiled.

"Come with us and we can take you there. You'll be well looked after," Charles said kindly. Ororo gently stepped away from the tree and closer to the men.

Slowly the headed back to the car. Ororo sat in the back and looked out the window as the drove. She was quiet and Charles kept a look on her through the review mirror. For the whole hour she didn't say a word.

Ororo sat up straighter as they passed through the school gates. She looked around in amazement. Charles parked the car in the garage and the got out.

"I'll give you a tour of the school if you like?" Magneto said and Ororo nodded. Both men smiled and took her on a tour of the school. The showed her under ground first and then went and showed her around the top floor where all the class rooms and bed rooms where. As they walked students roamed the hall ways. Some stared at her curiously while other glanced and whispered. A girl with long red hair saw her and beamed widely at her. She smiled weakly.

"Come to my office and we'll talk," Charles said kindly.

"OK," Ororo said and they headed his office. Ororo sat down on the other side of the desk while Magneto and Charles sat down opposite her.

"Where are your parents?" Charles asked softly. Ororo looked away.

"My father is away on business," Ororo said. Charles knew that there was more to her parents but did not press it.

"How come you were out in the forest alone?" Magneto asked, his head titled in a curious gaze. Ororo looked down at her lap.

"Kids from my school came to my house. They came to tease me, said they would get rid of a freak like me. I stood my ground but panicked as I got one of them," Ororo said, close to tears. "I didn't want to hurt him only for him to leave me alone. I ran for it," Ororo finished, head held in shame,

"There is nothing to be ashamed of dear. What they did was wrong and you were only defending your self," Magneto said. "They didn't know their place." Magneto looked sideways at Charles with a small smirk on his face.

"How long have you been out on the street for?" Charles asked, turning the attention back to Ororo.

"About two weeks," Ororo said, thinking.

Charles and Magneto stayed silent in thought. They had a silent conversation with Charles telepathy.

Ororo sat in silence. They won't want me for sure, she thought. She was about to stand up and leave when the two men looked at her.

"Before we take you to your room, I'd like to take you to the infirmary just to get you checked out," Charles said. Ororo nodded and they all stood. Ororo followed Charles and Magneto down to the infirmary. The room was very sterile and white in Ororo's opinion.

"Laid down on the table and relax," Magneto said. Ororo did as she was told and laid down, closing her eyes.

It felt good to lay down since she hadn't in a while. Ororo began to fall asleep as a third person appeared and begun taking a look at her. Charles and Magneto watched as the young girl fell asleep while the lovely Miss Kelly took care of her. Nothing was broken and everything looked fine. They did however find a long scar on her stomach that looked still young.

"How did you get that scar, Ororo?" Magneto asked, curious. Ororo shifted uncomfortably.

"You don't have to tell us," Charles said and Ororo nodded.

"Now, let us talk about your mutation," Magneto said. "What is that you can do?"

Ororo smiled, revealing beautiful straight white teeth. Charles was glad to see that she was smiling about something.

"I can control the weather," Ororo said with pride.

"Very interesting. So I take it that it was you who was giving us all these bizarre changes in weather?" Charles said in amusement.

Ororo smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, that happens when my emotions get the best of me."

"Not to worry my dear. This school is about learning about your powers and how to control them and develop them,"

"Thank you. For bringing here I mean. Thank you," Ororo said sincerely and both men smiled.

"It was our pleasure. I know you will enjoy it here," Charles said.

"You're going to have to stay over night just to make sure everything is OK," Magneto said and Ororo nodded.

"Get some rest, you have a big day tomorrow," Charles said and Ororo nodded. They smiled and left Ororo.

Ororo gently drifted off to sleep. She dreamt of her father and of the school and of her time on the street. It would be different now. Perhaps now she would be accepted. She smiled in her sleep and breathed deeply. She was in a safe haven now.

Hey everyone! So what did you think? Good bad ugly pretty? Please review and tell me! No Flames please!
