Chapter 1

The new girl

"Are you going to shoot cajun or just keep showingoff?" Bobby Drake shouted to his friend from across the basketball court.

"You want me to shoot homme? Then I shoot." Remy charged to the basket and slammed the ball through the hoop.

"That was a lucky shot, I can still come back." Bobby shouted as he ran towards the basket.

"Bobby you're down ten points how you gonna come back from that?" Remy snuck up behind Bobby and stole the ball, he had started running to his end of the court when he saw somethig that made him stop dead in his tracks.

Bobby had been running after him and not noticing Remy had stopped he ran right into and fell on his backside.

"Whats wrong with you Remy?" Bobby questioned, standing up and dusting himself off.

"Wow," was the only reply he got.

"Wow, what?" Bobby peered around Remy to see what he was gawking at. That was when they got their first glimpse of the newest student at Xaviers school for gifted youngsters.They stared at her as Jean led her up to the main entrance of the mansion. Remy thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was tall and thin, with long, curly, auburn hairthat had a distinctive white stripe down the middle. Her skin was a light peaches and cream color, but that was all Remy could make out from his vantage point.

"Did you know ther was going to be a new student?" Bobby asked.Remy shook his head.

"No, but lets find out who she is." Remy headed towards the mansion.

"Hey Remy wait for me" Bobby yelled, running after Remy.

"O-kay Anna, this is the girls dormitory, and heres your room" Jean Grey said opening the door."You get your own room, but you share a bathroom with your neighbor Jubilee. The bathroom connects your room so make sure when you uae it you lock both doors. I'll let you unpack and I'll see you at dinner at six."

Anna sat down on her bed and surveyed her new room. It was pretty big. She had a dresser, a nightstand, and a full length mirror in addition to the bed. There was also a balcony. Anna opened the window and stepped out onto the balcony thinking about the events over the past few weeks that had led her here. Anna had the ability to absorb the thoughts, memories and if they were mutants the powers of anyone she touched. Two years ago she was beggining to learn to control her powers when her foster mother Mystique had convinced her to absorb the powers of Ms. Marvel, and that had turned out to be the biggest mistake of her young life. The effects of her powers were normally temporary, but that time they had been permanent, and took a tole on her psyche. She had run away from home for the second time in her life and sought the help of Proffesor Charles Xavier. She saw him in secret for a year as he helped her repair the damage done to her mind. He had invited her to come to the school but she feared the possible animosity she would receive from the X-Men for her past actions. It wasn't until Jean Grey had come to her three weeks ago and personally invited her that she finally agreed to come. Now she hoped she had made the right choice and that the X-Men could forgive her. Anna decided to start unpacking when someone knocked on her door.

"Hi! I'm Jubilee," the small asian girl said with a big grin on her face.

"Uh, hi, I'm anna. Why don't you come in."

"Sure thing. So you a mutant huh." Jubilee bluntly stated loking around. "Me too" she said letting sparks fly from the tips of her fingers."So what are your powers?"

"I, uh, can absorb other mutants powers, fly, have super strength, and I'm invulnerable." Anna replied.

"So you can't touch people?"

"Well I couldn't before, but I can control my powers now."

"I remeber When I couldn't control my powers. I blew up so many things. I've been here for over a year now, so I can pretty much control my powers now. So how old are you."

"I'm sixteen,"

"I thought you looked older than me, I'm only fifteen. Have you met any of the.."Jubilee's question was interupted by someone screaming her name.

"Jubilee!" Bobby hollered. He couldn't remember which room was hers. "I can't remember which room is yours. Where you at?" he hoped she was in her room and he wasn't screaming for no reason. He hoped Remy was having better luck finding out who the new girl was.

"What?!" Jubilee said poking her out the door without opening it all the way.

"There you are. Didn't you hear me calling you. Oh well that doesn't matter, have you heard anything about that new girl? Remy and I saw her walking in with Jean but we can't find either of them."

"Well.."once again Jubilee was interupted, this time by Remy.

" There you are Bobby any luck?"

"I was just asking Jubilee,"

"Well any news chere. This new girl is la tres belle femme,"

"You think shes pretty huh? Well I heard from July, who heard from Jay, whos in Jeans literature class that the new girls not even a girl, he heard shes really a shape shifter who got stuck in a girls form and thats why he's here, so Professor X can help him."

"Nuh uh" Bobby said with a skeptical look on his face.

"Well that's what I heard you guys are just going to have to find out for yourselves."

"But.." Jubilee cut them off by slamming the door in their faces.

"What'd you tell them that for?" Anna demanded.

"Remy likes you, and he thinks hes such a ladies man he'll drive you crazy. This'll give you a couple more days bfoere you have to deal with him and his sidekick, and tust me you don't want to be chased by him"
