Hello to everyone who's reading. Okay so I haven't written a story for fanfiction in years. Things got a little hectic, so I'm a little rusty. This is also my first X-men fanfic. Please enjoy and PLEASE read and review.
Disclaimer: I don't own X-men, I only own Jenna Ross.
Things never go the way we want them to. Life has this cruel joke of having unexpected twists and turns. Yet everything seems to work out okay in the end, well sometimes at least. If you're lucky.
My name is Jenna Ross and life and fate was my enemy. I had a simple normal life. I went to high school and graduated with honors. I was in the gymnastics team and won a few medals. I wasn't popular, but not a geek either. It was pretty good. After high school I attended UCLA, majoring in Geography. The only subject in life that actually made sense. I also had a boyfriend named Angus Pratt. We were entering our 2 year anniversary. Jip, life had been pretty good back then, until that cruel thing called fate stepped in. I was only 24.
My friends and I were in the mess hall when it happened. The day my brain exploded unleashing force-field upon force-field. Every field hit the students around me. It made the windows shatter then brake and threw the tables against the walls. I tried to make it stop, but all I could do was scream from the pain until I passed out. I lost everything that day. My life, my friends, my family even Angus. Like I said fate is my enemy.
I was sitting in an oval shaped office of Professor Charles Xavier. The head master and founder of Professor Charles Xavier's school for the gifted (Humph! A gift they call it) or mutant high for short. I was staring at my reflection in the mirror. My dark brown hair was resting neatly on my shoulders. My eyes were a mix of yellow and brown. I had light skin, a few shades darker than pale. Jip still looks like me and I don't feel like myself anymore. It's like I'm a stranger.
My parents were sitting in the two seats next to me. Both looked nervous or scared I couldn't really tell. The Professor was seated behind his desk staring at us. "So Jenna how are you feeling?" he asked. He was a very kind man. "Okay I guess" I could hear my mom's uneven breathing next to me. "Have you been having headaches or any other symptoms?""Nope, not since the incident" I replied flatly. I didn't mean to be rude to him, it was my parents fault. They insisted I stay here where I could do no harm to others. Like I was a monster or a ticking time bomb ready to explode.
"Thank you for taking her" my dad said. I rolled my eyes. "Yes, we didn't know what to do" my mom threw in. The Professor just nodded. After a few goodbyes to my parents I was left alone with the Professor. "So what's going to happen now?" I asked. "Good heavens child. You talk as if your life is over" I just shrugged. "You have an amazing gift and in time you will learn to control it""But why did it happen so late?""That my dear I don't know, but try to be positive okay?"I couldn't help but smile at his kindness. "Sure" I replied.
The Professor showed me around while the students were in class. Since I was older than many students I would have to get private classes with the teachers and decide if I wanted to teach here or go my own way. We ended the tour at my room where I was supposed to stay. "I bunked you up with one of our friendliest students. She will help you with everything you need""Thank you" I said.
When he left I began unpacking. My roommates stuff was already there so I tried to avoid her side of the room. "Hi there!" a voice suddenly said behind me which made me jump of fright. "I didn't hear the door open" "I'm Kitty you must be my new roommate" She extended her hand and I shook it. "I'm Jenna""So where are you from?""Uh, California""Really? That's nice" Oh great this is going to turn out to be 20 questions. "How old are you?""I'm 24" She frowned. "Aren't you a little old to be new?""Uh, yeah I'm a late bloomer" She started giggling. There was about a half a minute pause before Kitty started again. "So what's your power?""I don't know really yet. I think its force-fields or something." I was being honest. "And what about you? Do you turn invisible or appear out of nowhere?" Kitty gave a small laugh. "No I can walk through walls" "That explains why I didn't hear the door" Kitty smiled at me and helped me unpack.
After half an hour we were done surprisingly. "I would like you to meet my friends if you want to?" Not wanting to hurt her feelings I agreed. It wasn't far. The kids were in a large living room doing homework and watching T.V. Kitty pointed towards the couple cuddled together on a huge love seat. They waved as we got closer. "Hi guys this is Jenna she's new" They seemed friendly enough. The girl with the white streak in her hair was named Rogue and the boys name was Bobby. They were a cute couple, but they made me think of Angus. We chatted for about an hour and they were actually very interesting. Bobby had the power of ice and was here since he was young. Rogue had an ability to suck out your powers through her skin that is why she wore gloves. As I got to know them better I noticed that Rogue and I shared the same sort of pain. I knew then that we would be friends.
They all left to make ready for bed which left me sitting alone in the quiet living room. I flipped through the channels, but since I never actually watched T.V I instantly got bored. I decided to get myself some warm milk to make myself sleep easier. I walked slowly, my mid was deep in thought. As I rounded a corner I smashed into what felt like a brick wall, but when I looked up I saw a man glaring at me. He was wearing a white vest with ripped jeans and his hair was messy.
"Watch where you're going" he said angrily. "Jeez sorry" I shot back in my most cocky attitude. "Shouldn't you be in bed" he scowled. "Since when did I have a curfew?" His face got red at my remark and I thought he was going to yell, but then the color in his face died down. "You new?""Yes and thirsty" I said still laying on the floor. "Oh sorry let me help you up" He picked me up easily with one hand. "The kitchens down the hall""Thanks" I said and walked away, but stopped half way. "Um can you show me where what is?" I said embarrassed to ask. I didn't want to mess up the kitchen.
He looked uncomfortable the replied. "Okay" He didn't say much just stared at me while looking out of place. "You scared I'll bite you or something?" I asked when I got my milk. "I'm just not use to juveniles asking me favors." I snorted. "Listen buddy I'm not a juvenile. I'm 24" He suddenly looked confused. "Then why are you here?" I just shrugged not actually knowing myself. His expression shot back into anger. He walked around the table and grabbed me by the arm. "What the hell!""Come with me" he said bluntly.
So that's my first chapter. I hope you all liked it. Please review. It makes me write faster.
