Kurt strolled into the kitchen, noticing the other X-Men were sitting at the table. Professor Xavier rolled in.
"Good morning, my friends." He moved his wheelchair over so everyone could see him. "I have an announcement to make."
"You've decided to put beer in the fridge permanently," Logan said, with all seriousness. Rogue and Bobby giggled, and Kurt smiled. A small smile played at Xavier's lips, but he shook his head.
"No, Logan, not that. We are getting a new mutant at our school, and she is surprisingly powerful for a girl of her age. She's about the same age as you, Kurt."
"What can she do?" Scott asked curiously, taking a sip of coffee.
"Hydrokinesis," Jean said, before Xavier could answer. The professor nodded with an approving smile.
"What's hydrokinesis?" the author's sister asked.
"Go away! I'm writing!" the author snapped, turning around. "I told you not to bother me!"
"Just tell me what it is and I'll go away!" the sister whined.
"No you won't, you liar."
"Yes I will. Tell me."
"No."
"Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me!!!!!!!"
"Oh for crying out loud!" The author slammed her fist onto the desk. "Hydrokinesis is the power to create and control water. Okay? Satisfied? NOW GO AWAY!" There was silence, then-
"Can I watch you write?"
"GO!"
"Cool," commented Rogue. Xavier blinked, then smiled slightly.
"She's here." They all left the kitchen for the front door. Kurt self-consciously adjusted his holo-watch. Even though she was about to become an X-Man, he was still afraid of what people would think when they saw his true form. Xavier psychokinetically opened the door, to reveal a bright-eyed girl. She was tall and slender. Curly brown hair framed her face, and she donned baggy boys clothing. On her wrist – Kurt blinked in shock – was a holo-watch. The same as his.
"Does Sara have to hide her true form too?"
"I thought I told you to go away!" the author groaned impatiently.
"I just wanna know how the story goes….." complained the sister.
"You can read it when I'm DONE. Okay? Now leave me alone!" the author snapped. "Away! GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY!"
"Oh, FINE."
"Thank you!" The author continued writing her story. A minute or two passed.
"Can I help you write your story?"
"**** OFF!" the author exploded furiously.
"Hi, I'm Sara," she said in a shy, nervous, accented voice. Kurt struggled to decipher its origin. England? Australia?
"You're Scottish, aren't you?" Bobby asked. Sara nodded. She stepped inside the school.
"Hey, she's wearing a holo-watch," Logan muttered. Sara glanced up at his face nervously, and pulled her baggy sleeve over the watch self-consciously.
"We're very glad to have you here," the professor smiled encouragingly. "We hope you make yourself at home. You are very welcome. Don't be afraid." With this slight boost of self-esteem Sara nodded.
"Where's all your bags?" asked Rogue curiously. "Your stuff? Didn't you bring anything?"
"All I had when I was in the travelling carnival is what yeh see before yeh now," she murmured, her accent laying out the words thickly. Jean blinked in surprise, and threw a sideways glance in Kurt's direction.
"Carnival?"
"Umm….yeah. Me parents……didn't want me, so…" Sara trailed off in embarrassment. She stared at her shoes, face turning a few shades of red.
"Well, never mind that now. You're very welcome here and we hope you will stay with us feeling safe." Jean patted her arm sympathetically. Professor Xavier turned his wheelchair slightly.
"Follow me, my friend. You can stay in the room next to Kurt," he said, nodding towards Kurt. She looked at him, nodded ever so slightly, and followed Xavier to the room. He psychokinetically opened the door for her, and she thanked him quietly.
"There is a change of clothing on your bed. We'll leave you alone for a few moments. If you need us, we'll be throughout the school." He smiled and left her to her room. When the door was shut and the X-Men began to leave, Bobby glanced at Kurt.
"Aren't you going to go do something?" he asked. Kurt shook his head.
"I'll just wait for her to come out. I'll show her around the school maybe, no?" Bobby shrugged and left with Rogue.
After a few minutes of standing outside her door, Kurt heard some faint crying. He frowned.
"Sara?" he called, semi-quietly. She didn't seem to hear him. Taking a deep breath, Kurt bamfed into the bedroom. What he saw made his knees buckle to the ground in shock.
