Summary: Imagine what the X-men would be like when they were in kindergarten, includes the older and younger generation. I also know that most of the X-men didn't get their powers until they were teenagers or older, but this is supposed to be humorous so just let it go. Also includes my original character Lash, who you can read all about in "Daughter of A Wolf."
Today was Maries first day at Xavier Elementary School for Gifted Youngsters. She had just moved to upstate New York because her Dad had a job transfer. Her mom was taking her to school and walking her to her new classroom. It was already October so all of the kids new each other. When they reached the door of the classroom her mother knocked.
"But what if they don't like me mommy?" She asked, scratching her gloves.
"They'll all love you sweetie, don't worry."
The door opened. "Hello, you must be Mrs. D'Ancanto. I'm Charles Xavier."
"Oh, yes. It's nice to finally meet you." She extended her hand to him. Marie had never seen a wheelchair before and she thought it was really shinny. "This is my daughter Marie."
"Hello Marie. I'm your teacher Mr. Xavier. I think its shinny too." He smiled at her surprise. "Marie why don't you go meet some of the other children in the play area." He pointed to a spot in the room where there were children playing with toys. "And don't be afraid," he told her. "There all very friendly and nice." She smiled and looked at her mother.
"Go ahead, Marie. I'll pick you up when school ends."
"Ok, mommy. Love you."
"Love you too sweetie." She bent down and quickly pecked her daughter on the cheek. "Now go have fun and remember what I told you about touching people."
"I will."
"Don't worry she'll be fine here." Mr. Xavier told her. Like all new parents bringing their child to school for the first time it was hard to let go.
"I know, but Marie is a very special child. I don't want her to."
"Hurt the other children."
"Yes, she's very friendly but her ability makes it hard for her to be sociable. She worries about hurting other kids."
"You said that she hurt a little boy at the playground?"
"Yes, he was in a comma for a very long time."
"Don't worry Mrs. D'Ancanto the other children here all have different gifts. I'm sure Marie will find friends quickly."

Marie sat down next to some blocks and started stacking them.
A boy was walking over. "Hi, I'm Bobby."
"Hi." She said meekly.
"What's your name?"
"Marie."
"That's pretty."
"Thanks." She was blushing.
"Bobby!" Called another boy walking over. He had big brown eyes and brown hair but he had a scowl on his face that if any adult looked at it them would have laughed. "What are you doing hanging out with a cootie girl?"
"I am not a cootie girl!" Said Marie.
"John's just mad 'cause Mr. Xavier won't let him bring his lighter to school."
"A lighter? Why do you need a lighter? Do you smoke? Mommy says smoking is bad and icky."
"Naw, John doesn't smoke."
"Then why do you need a lighter?"
"Cause I like fire, it's my power."
"My powers ice. Wanna see?"
"Ok." He reached over next to Marie and grabbed a stray Barbie doll. He looked at it and with his free hand made and exact replica on the floor. "That's so cool!" Marie was ecstatic, Barbie dolls were her favorite. John was just mad. Bobby was showing off again.
"What's your power Marie?" Bobby asked.
"Um.if I touch people bad things happen."
"What do you mean bad things?"
"Just bad things. That's why I wear gloves. Mommy bought these special for me. They have little flowers on them, see?"
"They're pretty." Said Bobby.
"They're girly." Said John. "Cal's not that girly."
"Who's Cal?" Asked Marie.
"Cal is Johns girlfriend." Mocked Bobby is a singsong voice.
"She is NOT my girlfriend!"
"Yes she is, John and Calypso sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love then comes marriage, then comes Johnny with a baby carriage!"
"Shut up Bobby."
"Class!" That was Mr. Xavier. "Everyone come take their seats. Marie, why don't you sit next to Bobby?" She nodded and Bobby pulled her glove-covered hand to where he sat. And then John sat in the desk in front of her. "We have a new student. Everyone this is Marie, Marie this is everybody." Most of them waved to her and she waved back, smiling. She was going to like it here.
