Bayville: 8:30 P.M.

A lone figure could be seen racing through a deserted alleyway. The overhanging moon illuminating off the figure long enough tho make out the tear stricken face of small girl. A moment later the girl stopped realizing that she had run into a dead end. Footsteps could soon be heard trailing behind her. She spun around and came to face a husky figure looming a few feet away from her.

"Well, aren't you a pretty one to be out here this time of the night?" said the looming figure, stepping forward ever so slightly

"Leave me alone. I'm warning you." The girl muttered, backing even further into the wall.

The figure stepped closer.

"I'm warning you!" the girl shouted, this time all tears were gone

The figure ignored her warning and stepped closer. The girl suddenly straightened her posture and burst into flames. The thug was so taken aback that he stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground.

"What are you?" the thug managed to stammer

"You're going to wish you never walk down the same alley as me!" the flaming girl shouted

She fired a flaming ball at him, hard enough to knock him unconscious. As soon as she realized what she had done she powered down and ran past the thug's unconscious body and into the dark, tears now freely steaming down her face.

The Xavier Institute:8:45 P.M.

Professor Xavier wheeled into the recreational room, where the New Mutants, save Jamie, were gathered doing various activities, with a pensive look on his face.

"What's wrong Professor?" Amara asked, immediately looking up from her history textbook

"Um. Professor?" Rahne asked, catching everyone's attention and snapping Prof. X out of his thoughts

"I apologize...my mind was elsewhere. But on another note, Cerebro has detected a new mutant and I need you to go and get her."

"Cool! a new mutant." Jubilee said bouncing up from her spot on the floor next to Bobby

"Not to mention it's a girl." Amara beamed

"Yeah, it's about time we had another girl on the team." Rhane added in agreement.

"But why us, Professor?" Roberto asked

"Because it's time the New Recruits got a mission of their own. Also I can't seem to locate any of the other mutants, even with my telepathy." Prof. X replied "You'd better get moving, I'm afraid we're not to only ones who have noticed her presence." he added before wheeling out of the room.

"We better get suited up." Bobby ordered as he stood up from his recent post on the floor and headed in the direction of the locker rooms.

Author's Note: so what do you guys think of this so far, be honest.

P.S.: sorry this chapter is so short, I promise that the others will be longer.
