The Main Street Café was the busiest it had been all week, ever since the lunch rush was compounded by the trains being closed thanks to some accident. Kayla bolted down the street, causing her long Black hair to hit her face and trail behind her. "Stupid trains…" She mumbled as she sharply turned the corner. By the time she managed to get to the café it was already filled up. She sighed and blinked the water out of her dark brown eyes. The manager of the café looked to see who had just burst through the doors, when he saw Kayla he hugged her and gleefully said, "Finally! We could really use some more help here." Kayla nodded as she quickly ran to the back to get in uniform.
After a very tiring seven hours of work Kayla took off her apron and tried her long hair into a high ponytail and started to walk out of the shop. Before she could get out of the building two men walked up to her. Kayla nervously stepped back whispering, "Sorry we're closed," Kayla shyly stepped back again as one man smirked and stated, "We're not here for a cup of coffee, we just want to talk with you." Kayla backed away from the men, and bumped into the table. The other man glared at the man who had spoke before, "Erik," his angry tone startled her, " You're scareing her." The man referred to as Erik pulled out a chair and sat down looking impatient. "Well," the man pulled out a chair and sat across the table, "Kayla," the other man's voice was much softer than Erik's, "We know very well that you're different and that you have…abilities... that no one else has…"
Kayla's eyes widened as he mentioned her abilities, "How…how do you know?" Her voice was getting very defensive. 'No need to worry Kayla, we're like you' She jumped back her brown eyes wide. "You…you… to?" The two men nodded, and as Erik raised his hand slowly, Kayla's necklace began to rise up with it. Her eyes widened with surprise, "Bu….but… I thought I was the only one…" The other man laughed and smiled, "Not even close. Now then," The two of them began to stand up, "We ought to be going. I'm Charles Xavier by the way." He took Kayla's hand and led her to a silver car and opened the door for her. "Are you ready to start your new life?" He asked. Kayla thought about all the times that she had been referred to as a freak. She grinned and nodded, "Let's go."
