This is a new story. It's also my first X-Men fanfiction. Please be nice...?

1952…

Lillian Quinn slammed the door of her apartment, trying not to collapse in a mess on the pavement. It'd happened again. She'd let it get out of control again, her mutation.

As she stumbled down the street she adjusted her bag on her shoulder, she brushed her loose chestnut curls out of face as her two piece fringe fell into her eyes.

She had no idea where she was going, but she did know her adopted parents left a large sum of money for her when they passed away.

Basically, when her adopted parents were still alive they moved a lot. But she knew she'd come from England, she'd never really lost her English accent, she had spent the first 12 years of her life there; then they moved to Switzerland for 5 years, but when they died last year she moved to America.

As she walked through the street she tried to walk in a straight line, but she still managed to walk straight into a tall, brown haired man in front of her.

"Umph," Lilli landed on the floor on top of the stranger.

Lilli immediately sprung off the man, "Oh god, I'm so sorry, I-um, here."

Lillian pulled the man to his feet and he chuckled at the woman in front of him, "It's alright, I should've been watching where I was going, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I mean I landed on top of you, that don't sound right," Lilli laughed, "um I'm fine, you cushioned my fall. Again, sorry…"

The man shook his head, "It's fine. I'm Erik Lehnsherr."

Lilli looked up at the man and smiled, "Lillian Quinn, but most people call me Lilli; Nice to meet you Erik."

"And you Lilli," the man returned the gesture before he saw someone out of the corner of his eye," I must be going, it was nice walking into you, Lillian."

5 months later…

The warm summer of June had faded away into the auburn of November, much to Lilli's dismay, leaving strong winds and sub temperatures in its wake.

After the bump in with Erik, Lilli had moved to Salem Centre, Westchester in New York. She didn't know why, she just felt like it was right.

Currently, she was trying to block out her friend on the phone, he was just coming home from a trip and promised to call her when he got back.

Lillian quickly placed the phone back on its receiver and pulled on her black leather jacket over top of her dark blue jeans and black t-shirt. She slipped on her black converse and walked out the door.

She had a job at the local bar/restaurant, it paid well, but had a strict code of dress- luckily she was in the bar tonight so she was allowed her jeans.

Lilli arrived at the building about 4ish; she had easy shift today, 4-10 o'clock. As she opened the back door and hung up her bag and coat, Katie ran over.

"Lilliiii! I have news, guess what?" Katie grinned.

Lillian rolled her eyes at her hyper friend, "What?"

"Y'know those two regulars- the blonde and the brown haired man with the bright blue eyes?" Katie smirked, Lilli nodded, "well they're here again and they're asking for you."

"And what exactly about that is so thrilling?" Lilli snorted, walking up towards the front of the bar, through the kitchen.

Katie started giggling, "He said you might be his sister!"

Lilli stopped, staring at her friend like she'd just suggested they go skinny dipping in the middle of the day, "Are you sure you're not just hallucinating?"

"Yup."

"Positive you weren't just staring at his face and misheard him?"

"Oh shut up," Katie whacked Lillian's arm before walking towards the boss after he called her name.

Lilli sidestepped Michael, a co-worker, and continued to the front of the bar, she turned to face customers, only to be met with brown hair and bright blue eyes.

Lillian jerked back, "Hello."

"Hi, you are Lillian right?" the brown haired man asked.

"Um, last time I checked yes but I prefer Lilli, my friend said you were looking for me," Lilli smiled.

"Oh yes! Don't worry, it'll only take a second," the man promised, "oh and I'm Charles, this is Raven."

Lilli gave them the thumbs up, smiling slightly at the duo as she waited.

"Charles thinks you're his sister," Raven suddenly blurted, her blonde curls bouncing.

Lilli's eyes widened slightly, despite already being told by Katie, "Oh, um, err okay?"

"Well that's one way to put it," Charles exhaled, "well, I was looking through some old papers of my mother's when I stumbled across my birth certificate… and yours, well then I went digging and I found your adoption papers and all that, letters from your adopted parents to mine about how you were."
Lilli was stunned. She knew she was adopted, but she didn't even consider if she had siblings, and if she'd ever meet them, "But how'd you know it was me? There's probably more than one Lillian Quinn."

"They sent photos. And the last one was from just before my mother passed, so a few years ago; and Raven said she recognised you from the pub, so…"

"So you came here," Lilli sighed, she had a brother. An actual brother, "I mean, this is amazing, I-I have family."

"I know, but I do have another question, a slightly more personal one, a bit strange," Charles said.

"I just found out I have a brother, I doubt it can get any stranger than that, shoot," Lilli laughed.

"Being your brother, we have similar DNA etc. and I was wondering if you were perhaps a mutant?" Charles asked, "like me, as I am a mutant. A telepath."

Lilli tensed. She was a mutant, and she knew exactly what her powers where, but she never used them, never wanted to. At least not the dangerous ones. The ones caused her to lose her foster parents, and almost her apartment roommate.

"A telepath? So you can read my mind? Because if you can I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to your question," Lilli replied, leaning forward on the bar and resting her chin on the palm of her hand.

"Your right, so you know I know," Charles touched his temple and Lilli felt a presence in her mind, "that's amazing, your mutation. It's like mine."

"And you know I know that," Lilli stated, moving her hand from under her chin, "our mutations are probably similar because of our similar DNA."

'Though I'm interested to see what your powers can do, your shift ends at ten so how about we meet out back then?' Charles' voice came through clearly in Lilli's head and she smiled.

'Sounds fine, see you then.'

6 hours later Lilli walked out the back of 'La Venue' and shrugged on her black jacket.

"Took you long enough. You're five minutes late."

Lilli turned to see Charles standing behind her, leaning against the wall and smiling at her, she laughed, "I hope you didn't wait up."

"Don't worry, I didn't, Raven's just gone to get taxi, so it's just you and I," Charles smiled, pushing off the wall.

"So you wanna see my powers?" Lilli raised an eyebrow, "With telepathy I have the same as you… mostly."

"Care to demonstrate?" Charles asked, pushing Lillian out of his mind, where she was looking through his memories and thoughts.

"I can also create illusions, you know," Lilli added as she walked closer, "I think I'm an 'Advanced Telepath' with telekinesis whereas you're a 'Master Telepath' with cool time freezing powers."

"Are you just making this up as you go along?" Charles laughed, watching her.

"Probably, I mean I'm using stuff from both of our heads and our mutation do differ slightly, I think your telepathy is more in mind control area and reading memories whereas mine is more illusions and telekinesis, and all that jazz."

"How?" Charles asked

"Like me not being in front of you, but actually out front with Raven; care to join us?" Lilli grinned as the illusion disappeared and she smiled at Raven.

Charles chuckled before walking around the building to the front where Raven stood next to a girl that looked uncannily similar to him.

Lilli grinned, "Was that enough of a demonstration?"

"Perfect," Charles laughed, looking at his sister, "I know this is sudden and really all too quick, but would you like to live with me and Raven? As my sister."

"Well you're forward," Lilli replied bluntly, shocked slightly, "but, you have come to bar at least once a week for two years, so you're not a complete stranger- I'm babbling aren't I?"

Charles and Raven nodded and Lillian laughed uneasily before letting out a deep breath.

"Yes, I'd love to."

So I know it's abrupt and she's suddenly living with them, but I wanted to get this out of the way... sorta... and it's not like she'd never met them before, they'd been to the bar for two years so they're kinda friends- and they're brother and sister! Anyway, follow, fave, review? :)
