Katie wished more than anything that she could become invisible.
So she did.
She didn't realize it at first—her parents screamed. One moment they were spitting insults at one another and threatening to exchange blows, the next, their daughter vanished. Once their shock evolved into numb silence, Katie wasn't scared anymore, and as a result, faded back into view.
Mr. and Mrs. Moorland stared.
The doctor's aren't saying a god damn thing all of a sudden, recognized Jake Moorland with a start. His writing hand stilled against the clipboard he'd been handed to sign.
I feel so... calm...
Besse Moorland peered anxiously through the glass window, her tiny daughter sound asleep in a hospital bed, worn out from the hassle the last two days had wrought upon her little mind, "God, what's wrong with her?"
"Nothing," said Charles Xavier, wheeling up smoothly, "She is wonderful."
A/N: Forgive me, those of you with an extensive knowledge of the 'X-Universe,' but I am not extremely knowledgeable of how exactly Professor X went about picking up mutant would-be students. Maybe I need to rewatch the films again (and browse through some comics). This is similar to how it was, to my memory (meeting up with the parents and discussing the situation with them... or was that just for Jean Grey?). Please don't eat me, the more die-hard fans of you! D:
Also, sorry if the names I used already belong to pre-existing characters canon-wise. :/ I don't know the whole list of characters, either.
Regardless... I hope this isn't too confusing. I tried to make it short and impacting. Thoughts?
