"Professor?" An old man looked up from the floor he was previously staring at to the woman standing in the doorway. It scared her to see his blue eyes filled with such concern and worry.
"Storm, you must go with Logan to find a mutant. I highly doubt that Scott will be up to it now. She is in danger, be careful... I can sense that she is very powerful." She quickly ran off to find Logan and this mutant. 'Hurry X-men'
Unknown POV
I was trapped, all of myself strapped down. The men around me ignored my screams for help. I struggled but they still continued on, writing and talking. Looking at me, then the computer and finally back to writing. Suddenly, a strange burning sensation crept up my arm and through my entire body. I screamed in pain.
"Is it working?" One of the men asked.
"Yes, his gene is blending with her DNA. Soon, if all goes according to plan, she will possess the healing ability." Tears filled my eyes as the pain only intensified. "97 percent complete sir. Would you like us to prepare the adamantium?" The first man laughed.
"Oh course you fool. Oh, and get me his files... I have a little idea, lets give this kitten some claws boys. But get her to shut up will you?" Then all went black and I fell cold.

I jolted awake, my settings were unfamiliar. I opened my eyes to find myself in some sort of laboratory. I was hooked to these monitors, each of them beeping at a different pace. I cocked my head as I pulled the sensors off. I had to get out of here. I heard a noise, it sounded like footsteps behind me. "Whose there?!" I said out loud. No reply, only silence answered my awaiting ears. The doors opened and a wave of cool air rushed over me. I involuntarily shivered and looked down to see myself in a pair of black shorts and a tank top, which was black as well.
"Oh your awake! I didn't expect you to be up in days, come with me the Professor will want to talk with you." I stared at the creature that was just talking with me. He a blue and fuzzy all over.
"Who are you?" I questioned, remaining on my guard.
"Oh, how rude of me. I'm Hank McCoy, please follow me." I followed him down the hallway and into an elevator. The crome was turned to wood as the upstairs came into my view. He pointed to a room near the front door, I thought about making a run for it but figured I wouldn't get far. I entered the room and believed it to be empty until an old man sitting at a window spoke up.
"Hello Aurora." I stood motionless and prepaired to fight.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" he chuckled.
"A machine called Cerebro, you were being attacked. I send some aid to your rescue." I still remained unmoved.
"Hey Baldie, I asked you a question. Who are you... and where am I?" He smiled at me.
"I am Professor Charles Xavier and this is my school for the gifted. It is safe haven for mutants who feel the need to run away from their lives in order to live a normal life." I raised my eyebrows.
"Well baldie, as much as I'd like to stay and chat I really need to be going." I turned to the doorway, a woman and man was blocking my exit. I established that I could easily take the girl, but the man; he intimidated me. The look on his face was warning enough, I felt myself feeling submissive and immediately gained my confidence back. Showing weakness isn't something I do, especially at fuzzy-boy over here.
"Um, hello? Want to get out of my way before I have to make you?" The scruffy man blocking my path let out a laugh and a smile occupied his lips for a short moment.
"Really now Princess? I'd love to see you try." I looked at him, I felt like I knew him from somewhere.
"Logan, calm down." Spoke the old man.
"Yes Logan... calm down." I said with an added annoyance to my voice. I smirked.
"Aurora, how long are you going to run? Day after day, never knowing who you are, who you used to be..." I looked at him with astonishment.
"How do you know?" I asked with my teeth clenched.
"Running will get nowhere my dear. I believe I can help you." He held out his hand. In them was a pair of dog tags. I extended my arm and used my abilities to pull them into my own hand. Looking at both sides...

"H - How did you get these?" I asked quickly.
"They were found at Alkali Lake, Stryker's military base." I looked out the window, my mind was racing as was my heart.
"I need to go there. I need answers." His eyes showed me sadness and I knew his heart ached out to me.
"The base was flooded, it's deep under water. I'm sorry." I looked away, feeling an unusual sense of loneliness. "Aurora, you're an abnormally strong mutant, with more powerful than you can imagine. Please stay here, we can help you control your abilities and I promise to tell you all I know about your past." I looked from him to the dog tags I held firmly in my hand.
"Look, I'll stay.. I can't guarantee for a long time or that I won't just pick up and go. I don't do so well in one place for so long, people get hurt because of me... But I want answers, and the first sign that I'm not getting any I'm gone." The old man looked at me with understanding.
"Very well Aurora. Storm please show her to a room."
The room she showed me was nice and comfy. It was small but it would do for me. I didn't have anything except a bag that they found with me, it was full of my money, cigarettes, a small portion of food and an old cell phone I've been using. I opened the window and climbed onto the room. I pulled a smoke from my bag and put the end in my mouth. I cupped my hands around it, concentrating on the energy on the very tip. It lit on fire with a burst of colorful light. The fire radiated for a few seconds with all the colors of the rainbow. Mainly green, purple and blue, they're the most common colors that appear. The blasts of energy I use makes the electrons leap from they're energy levels. Just like the lights at the North and South poles.
It's how they named me Pulsar, because of some kind of star. Funny enough my name is Aurora, like Aurora Borealis. They said that was my old name, but I can't remember. I don't remember much about my past life, all I know is that my mother died when I was really young and that my father was a man of power. He wasn't one to take no for an answer. He too was a mutant, a very powerful one at that. I wondered what this Professor Xavier could really tell me about my past, if he even knew anything about me at all.
I inhaled from the cigarette and just leaned against the siding of the school. Down below I watched the children play football. One teams quarterback kept throwing the ball, transporting to the end zone, catching the ball and scoring. I smiled and laughed.
"What so funny?" I jumped and spun around. The same man who was in the professor's office was leaning against my window, Logan was his name? Now that I was actually calmed down I found him somewhat attractive.
"Hey fuzzy, like to sneak up on girls often?" I took another drag off the cigarette and breathed out the smoke, lighting it into different colors.
"No, they told me to come tell you that dinner is downstairs." I sucked air from the cigarette one last time and flicked the remains away, before making them explode in midair.
I climbed in the window and stood inches away from this stranger in my room. Around his neck I noticed a similar pair of dog tags, I used my ability to control metal to turn them around. They were exactly like mine. Different numbers and they said 'Wolverine'. "So, Wolverine is it?" he raised an eye brow at me.
"Call me Logan." I smirked.
"Aurora... Best remember that so you'll have something to moan later." He went to say something but I stopped him. "Save it Wolfy, dinner's calling." I laughed and walked out of my room, swaying my hips slightly. I tapped into his head and could tell he was looking at me. "Eyes up here buddy." I pointed, behind my back, to my head before I turned the corner and was out of his sight.
"Is she awake yet?"
"No Sir." A fist slammed onto the table.
"She has been like this for days, when will she wake up?" The other man sighed.
"Her healing factor is slower than the oth- She's waking up!" she screamed on the table and shook violently. Restraints held her in place, not allowing her to move. Razor sharp pain flew through her body, sharp claws flung out of her hands with a loud 'shnkk!' She screamed even louder, ripping off the ties that held her down. One of her hands shakily pointed at the two men in lab coats.
"You..." her voice was hoarse, "You did this to me..." She looked around and an evil smirk formed on her lips, "... and you will pay." she yelled and things in the room went flying, glass shattered and metal crumpled to dust. A gun fired through the madness and hit her square in the chest.

I jumped up from my bed and screamed bloody murder, grabbing my chest. I threw the covers off myself and wiped the sweat from my face. People came rushing into my room, they turned on the lights. "Aurora, are you okay?! What happened?!" I panted heavily and stared at my knuckles. They were white but the three spots in between my fingers were bright red. I quickly looked up to all the X-men members who were standing in my doorway.
"I... I had a- a nightmare." In the background I noticed Logan, he was looking at me strangely. My scared eyes met his for a brief second before I got up from the bed and bolted through the door, pushing my way past everyone.
I ran down the stairs and through the front doors. I didn't care that I was wearing the skimpy black outside I woke up in earlier today. By the time I stopped running I found myself at the fountain. I sat on the edge and looked in at my reflection. I show my claws out of my knuckles and slashed at the water where my reflection's face was. Time after time my anger cut into the calm surface of the water. I knew I should stop but I was just too mad. Energy surged through my body and finally made an exit through the metal protruding from my hands. Water formed tears in my eyes as I slowed down and really saw myself in the water. "Who am I?" I cried out.
"Aurora?" I heard a soft voice call out to me. I turned to see the woman they all called Storm. "The professor wante-..." she stared at my fully extended nine inch claws. "Y- you have them too?" I looked at her strangely.
"What do you mean by 'too'?"
NOTE:
I might be changing Aurora's mutant name sometime..
I'm not too clever coming up with them.
The name Pulsar is credit of Cerith.
She's great 3
