Tada! My first Wolverine and the X-Men fic. My OC's human name is Gretna. Don't ask where I got that!

Disclaimer: I don't own Wolverine and the X-Men just Gretna.

Rough knocking on the door to my house awoke me from my nap on the couch. I laughed when I realized I still had the book called 'The Boys With the Golden Stars' on my head.

"Could you get that for m-"

My mother was interrupted by the door being slammed open. The person who stood in front of it scared me so much I turned into my mouse form.

"We've come for the mutant!" the bald man spat pointing to the gray mouse that I now was.

Without an answer from my mother he roughly grabbed me by the scruff of my tiny neck causing me to change into a fox. I growled at him and said, "Let me go shithead!"

"Look who's talking freak!" he spat back.

With that he roughly threw me to one of goons causing me to change into a dove. The man hit my small head surprisingly hard but not enough to kill me.

The last thing I heard before going under; "Gretna!"

I woke up (in human form) in a small metal room with no windows but a small opening with several electric pulses guarding it. I also noticed a chart next the metal slab I was laying on. I picked it up and read;

Name: Gretna Annalisa Oriel

Age: 16

Hair Color: Amber

Eyes: Blue

Mutant Ability: Shape shifts into animals.

I smirked when I realized they left off something. I looked towards the electrical pulses and held out my hands. The electrical pulses flickered for a bit then were shut off. I quickly left the small prison cell but first wrote down with ice on the wall; ~Controls elements including electricity and ice, dumbass MRD!~

I chuckled then ran down the hall only to come face to face with 'shithead'.

"Where ya going, mutant?" he spat with so much venom it could melt a wall.

I spat at him and changed into a horse. I quickly bucked at him and ran down the hall fire coming from my hooves. I was so distracted with channeling the fire I didn't have time to stop the shot of electricity from one of the MRD goon's gun.

I fell to the ground with a sickening thud and felt my body writhe in pain, the electricity surging through my veins as I changed back to human form.

I screamed and screamed and screamed but it was to no avail. The MRD's just stood there and watched me shutter.

I felt all hope was lost until…

"Leave her alone, Jackass."

I forced myself to look at the speaker only to see a man in a strange costume attacking the men with claws that came from his hands. For some reason I wasn't scared. It must've been because most of my animal forms have claws.

After the 'shithead' ran away in defeat my savior turned to me.

"You okay?" he asked softly.

I tried to stand but failed miserably causing me to shriek and go into kitten mode. I looked over to the man only to see instead of worried he was amused. I hissed at him. Taking the sign he scooped me up and started to walk down the hall.

When we got to our destination I shrunk back in fear at the sight of a giant jet. The hatch hissed open and the man walked onto it.

Once the hatch closed I opened my eyes to see several others looking at me and the mutant with a look that said 'what the hell'.

All of a sudden a blonde boy burst out in laughter.

"Man Logan! I thought we were picking up a girl not a kitten!"

The man who saved me obviously named Logan growl scowl at the boy.

"This is the girl." he said holding me out for everyone to see.

A brunette girl next to the blonde boy ran over and picked me up.

"Either way she's cute!" she giggled and stroked me.

I realized I was able to change again and did just that. Everyone stared at me in disbelief. The girl who was holding me was now hugging me.

"Please let go." I giggled.

The girl quickly let go and stared at me.

"Hi?"

"Wow she is a girl."

"I think we've established that. Now who are you people?" I growled.

A big blue guy came out of the cock-pit.

"I am Henry 'Hank' McCoy. Codename Beast." he said.

The blonde boy walked over.

"Bobby Drake. Or Iceman."

"Kitty Pryde. Shadowcat."

"Scott Summers. Mutant name Cyclops."

"Emma Frost."

"The name's Forge."

"Storm."

I took awhile to memorize all the names then looked at the guy who saved me.

"And you?"

"Wolverine." he said.

I nodded.

"We are the X-Men." Hank said with a toothy smile. I giggled a bit at the smile.

"Gretna Oriel." I said.

"What do you do?" Bobby said.

"You're a shape shifter and you have power over the elements including electricity and ice." Emma Frost answered.

"You're a telepath?" I stammered. She nodded.

"Not to be rude or anything but could you take me home?" I said nervously.

Everybody looked at me sadly. Puzzled I looked toward Hank.

"Gretna my dear, you do know that your mother has a weak heart?" he sighed.

I nodded, my eyes full of fear.

"Well when they came for you it was such a shock that she had a heart-attack. I'm sorry sh-she didn't make it…" Hank's voice trailed off as I collapsed to the ground and started to bawl. Kitty hugged me and tried to get me to stop crying.

"We're gonna take you to the mansion with us, okay." she whispered.

I nodded then whispered; "Can I at least get my stuff?"

"Of course." Hank sighed going back to the cockpit.

Once we got to my house I noticed an all to familiar car. Kitty grabbed my hand and phased through the jet. Once outside I kicked open the door only to see the last person I needed to see right now, pit-pocketing all my mom's valuable stuff.

"You!" I shouted to my father.

"What are you doing here?!" he slurred obviously drunk.

"You called them didn't you? You caused Mom to have the heart-attack? It wasn't enough to just leave me and Mom but you had to get rid of us too!" I screamed inching closer and closer to him.

"You crazy bitch!" he shouted and tried to hit me but his hand was caught by Kitty.

She phased through the bottom of the floor. When she came back up she locked the basement door.

"That should hold 'em!" she cheered.

"Thanks Kit." I sighed.

"No prob, what are friends for?" she giggled.

"I didn't know the answer to that was helping them pack and locking their dads in the basement."

After a good round of laughter and several minutes of packing we were ready to go. We were about to walk out the door when…

"Oh hold on! I forgot something!"

I quickly ran back inside and got the book called; 'The Boys With the Golden Stars'.

Hope you liked it! Anyone who can guess what her mutant name is gets... well not really anything but knowing they're smart! It does have to do with something in the story and if you look up 'shapeshifters' online you may find it!
