Authors note: Okay, so this is my first ever FanFiction, so I hope to do well. Reviews are highly appreciated! I need to improve in every way possible! and I rated it T just in case as I havent actually planned it yet. I have an idea, and i'm going to flow with it.
I own none of the character, except for Roxanne, but everything else is the works of the wonder full men and women at marvel! so all credits go to them for making a rocking comic/film/tv program and sparking my imagination!
The year is 1995. A young mother carries a tiny baby along the street, in a way that suggests she knows nothing of children. She carries on walking until she reaches a large gate, with a security system she was sure had not yet been invented. She let out a long sigh before putting the tiny baby, who was only just stirring from her sleep, into a small basket, which had conveniently been put there hours before. She looked around her to see if anyone had noticed, before pressing an alarm which would sound at the large mansion beyond the gates. Then, with out a second glance at the child, the women swiftly walked away.
I move my head away from the Professor.
"That's enough!" I say sternly, but as politely as I could. The Professor nods at me, to show he understands, but I new for that short second that it just lead to more questions. Who was this woman? Was she my mother? Why did she drop me off at the institute instead of an orphanage? And most importantly, well, at least for me. Does this mean I'm going to be a mutant? I couldn't help but be slightly excited at the thought. I mean, I have lived at the institute for nearly 17 years and had shown no types of mutant ability. It wasn't exactly a treat to see all the other students here flaunt their powers and being the only one with nothing. I knew from the Professor that I had been left on the door step, what we didn't know was why. If it hadn't have been for the Professors sheer kindness, I was certain that I would have been sent to an orphanage, plus, the Professor could never resist a challenge, and mine was the perfect challenge for him. Although it had been more difficult than he first thought, because he has come to the conclusion shortly after my 7th birthday, that I have no memories before my abandoning, although I was near to my first birthday.
"I think that's enough for this evening, Roxanne. If you would like to return to you room." He said his hand gesturing to the door at the same time as it opened. I sighed as I stood up and walked to the door. Just before leaving I turned and said,
"Thank you for everything Professor". Then I left the room, the doors closing automatically as I did. I walked down the long corridors, reaching the elevators within minuets and waited for it to arrive. I folded my arms over my chest, and started tapping my foot, a nervous habit I've had my whole life. When the elevator finally arrives, it makes that annoying "ding dong" noise and the doors open to reveal a very excited Kitty.
"Oh-ma-gawd Roxy, I've looking for you everywhere!" she says, grabbing my arm and yanking me into the elevator.
"I told you, Kitty, the Professor told me to see him after school" I say, pressing the number to the ground floor, I was suddenly in need of one of Kurt's sandwiches, and he was most definitely going to be there.
"Yeah, I know. But, you like, totally missed the best news ever!" she said, practically yelling with her own excitement. But then she looked at me, her expression suddenly serious. "But you have to promise not to tell." She paused
"Of course I won't tell what kind of friend would do that?" she smiled at that, happy about my loyalty, but also knew that I meant what I said. "so… go on.." I said, egging her on to reveal this big secret. She took a deep breath, before gushing it out in one mono-word.
"Lanceaskedmeout!" I looked at her, having no idea what she had just said. She sighed, but opened her mouth to repeat herself, when the elevator suddenly opened to reveal an extremely pissed Rogue. Kitty looked at me before muttering "we'll talk later" and leaving the elevator swiftly, practically walking through the partially closed doors. Lucky Kitty, she gets to do stuff like that. I could tell from the way Rogue was presented herself, that I was the last person she wanted to see. And couldn't help but agree with her. I just hoped this elevator would suddenly drop to the ground so this treacherous journey would end…
