Alyssa: this is my first fanfic for a movie so I hope it goes okay. Anyway I don't own X-Men the Movie or X-men and I am not making any money of this fanfic.
Chapter 1 – She Arrives
She had been running for a while now and she thought she had lost them. She could always have used her powers against them but it was wrong and she couldn't hurt them no matter how mean they were. She leant up against a wall down a back alley, her golden hair was blown in her face and she flicked it away. A noise made her start but she realized it was only a cat. It was so cute and it walked up to her. The blue eyes girl stared into its amber eyes, and smiled communicating with it. Animals were so…less advanced but they were more humane than humans. The girl coaxed the black kitty into her arms and kept it warm with her body heat realizing just how cold the weather was?
'Surely they would have given up by now?'
The cat purred it's disagreement and she agreed that they were so full of hate at what she was that they wouldn't have given up yet. She straightened up and the cat indicated that there were people coming. She ran protecting the cat she had named Shadow. The people came after her, as they were the three men from before. She had to escape and remembered a rumor she had once heard about an institute for people like her. She floated up from the ground and flew in any direction. Tomorrow she would find out where this place was. The men howled in anger as they saw her escape. She kept flying until she found a safe place to land, as she was very tired. She landed in what looked like grounds to a school or something and climbed up a tree to rest. Shadow stretched her legs as the girl got comfortable and fell asleep.
Rogue was up early that morning looking for a snack when she saw a black cat sneaking around the kitchen. Rogue decided not to startle it and to find out what it wanted. She saw the cat, very ingeniously, open the cupboard doors and drag out a loaf of bread. Rogue was very surprised especially when she saw the cat close the doors and drag the bread out the door of the kitchen making its way outside the back. Rogue followed it and saw it cross the grounds, so she followed.
A bright light glistened in her eyes and she sat up almost falling out of the tree, but she caught herself in time. She was so tired that she just looked down at the black cat below her for about ten seconds before remembering.
"Oh Shadow thank you."
She was about to jump down when she saw the laser beams.
"Uh oh."
She floated down from the tree stopping just above the lines and shadow led her to a place where the lasers had been turned off. She didn't notice the girl behind the tree just a little bit away.
She landed and took the bread off Shadow.
"Now what would you like Shadow? ……… Oh I know Tuna."
Shadow perked up and the girl closed her eyes and tuna appeared on a plate before her. Shadow gobbled it up right away and the plate disappeared just as Shadow finished, and she laughed before she took a bite out of the bread. It was really fresh and she smiled as she chewed. She heard a twig snap and jumped up as did Shadow.
"Who's there," she said as menacingly as she could.
As soon as Rogue stepped out she took a step back. She could feel the power emanating from the girl who looked her age.
"I'm Rogue, don't be scared."
"You're a mutant," she stated.
Rogue froze and examined the beautiful girl that stood in front of her. She looked innocent enough but she knew that she was a mutant, what was Rogue going to do.
Shadow got freaked by something and started to hiss. Her human/mutant friend sensed it too and didn't know what to do. She couldn't sense if this knew presence was good or bad so she ran with Shadow following close behind.
Rogue yelled, "Wait," but she kept running.
Logan walked up to Rogue and smelled the other girl. He said, "Rogue?"
Rogue pointed out to the grounds and he saw the girl with the cat running away.
"She's a mutant, we have to stop her because I think she needs our help."
Logan nodded and started to run after her, he yelled back, "Get the others."
Rogue nodded and ran back to the mansion.
Kids were just coming out for an early morning rest before school started when they noticed the commotion. Half the school was out there and they saw Rogue run towards them.
Rogue saw Jean in the crowd and went to her and said, "Logan's trying to stop a mutant from running away, she needs our help I think."
Jean was a little startled and decided to help. She sent her mind thought to the girl but she couldn't get through the shields the girl had in place. Jean shook her head and said, "I can't get through to her."
By now everyone including Professor Xavier was outside. Logan had almost caught up to her, as she was so weak. She knew she couldn't fly, as people would see her. So she thought of another idea. She stopped running and turned to face him. She put out her hands and a shied formed around her and Shadow. She giggled as he ran into it.
"Sorry," she said without thinking.
She saw a white haired woman, the girl from before, a bald man in a wheelchair a red haired woman and a man with funny glasses on walk up to the bubble.
"Hello…Aurora…Marie…Charles…Jean…Scott and … Logan I am…*she thought about this for a while, she had previously had no need for a name as she just was, but now was different* call me Enigma."
Shadow hissed at Logan and Enigma said, "Well Logan, shadow doesn't seem to like the wolverine very much?"
Logan asked, "Who are you?"
Enigma understood the question, "You mean what am I? Well I am what I am."
She was being very ambiguous and he didn't like it. Enigma looked at the students behind her and smiled.
"They have great powers, you should be proud." Her comment was directed at Charles. "And now I believe this is the place I was searching for, I really didn't think it existed which is very strange for me, I guess I was in denial?"
Enigma pondered this then said, "Well I don't think I should stay as I might cause too much trouble so I will go."
Charles said, "No wait no one is ever too much trouble."
Enigma smiled and said, "You are very kind and you are changing my mind as I have been alone for so long."
Rogue said, "You are very welcome to join us."
Enigma replied, "You are the most alone person I have ever met yet you are never alone, I will stay for now as I would like to learn more."
The shield disappeared and Enigma smiled at them. "I think it is about time for class."
Enigma giggled then picked up Shadow, "Don't be afraid he won't eat you, he wouldn't dare."
There was something in her voice that made her scary.
Enigma said, "Well lets get going."
Charles asked, "First tell me why I can't read you mind, I can't even get past the barriers."
Enigma smiled and said, "That's a secret," tapping her head. "Oh and it isn't very nice to have someone spy on me but I understand your reasons so I will…no I wont do that… okay you can assign me a …oh I can't think of the word… a guide?"
Charles was shocked that she could read his mind, he was thinking she must be stronger that himself but what he didn't realize is that she got tired very easily and she was at the edges of blacking out though she didn't show it.
"Actually first can I get some rest, that tree wasn't very comfortable."
Charles nodded and instructed Rogue to show her to a spare bed.
Enigma fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Shadow settled down next to her head.
Rogue went downstairs and met with the adults.
"She is a strange one and I wonder what powers she has besides the power to form a shield, and telepathy."
Rogue said, "She can also levitate maybe fly and she has a very unique bond with that cat and she can make things appear out of thin air."
"Make thinks appear out of thin air?"
Rogue nodded and Storm said, "She has a lot of different abilities, which is very strange?"
Cyclops said, "You don't think she stole them do you?"
That caused everyone to think.
Finally Charles said, "It is very possible."
Alyssa: So how have I gone? Review and tell me. Okay? Please? Pretty please? I WANT REVIEWS. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
