The day seemed to go by slowly for Scott, he kept thinking about the dream he had earlier that day. As he walked to his car (which was parked right outside of the school in it's usual spot). He dug his right hand into his trouser pocket and took out the little heart shaped stone which Willow had given him, he smiled at the only memory he had of her and wished that he could have seen Willow's face that day. He then remembered that day when he went to the institute.
Flashback
When Scott arrived back at the adoption home, he was called to the adoption office, when he arrived there, the Social worker turned away from the man in a wheelchair and walked towards him she bent down so her eyes where level with his, she then put her hand on his shoulder,
"Scott this is Professor Xavier he wants to have a talk with you alone. Is that ok?" she asked Scott nodded "if you need me I'll be outside" She said Scott smiled and nodded once again, he then felt the women take her hand of his shoulder and herd the door close.
"Hello Scott" the Professor said his elbows rested on the arms of his wheelchair and his fingers locked together,
"Hello" Scott replied shyly usually when someone wanted to adopt one of the orphans, they never wanted someone who couldn't see
"Scott can you open your eyes?" Xavier asked politely. Scott looked at where the voice was coming from, and his smiled faded away
"I-I Can't" Scott answered quietly. Professor X moved his wheelchair towards the young boy, he then went into his jacket pocket and pulled out ruby quartz glasses he then put the glasses over Scott's eyes.
"Now open your eyes Scott." Scott took a deep breath and opened his eyes, he didn't know how but he felt this man knew about his ability. There was a glow of red then it disappeared and Scott could see. The first thing that came into focus was the Professor looking at him
"But how?"
"Theses glasses are made out of ruby quartz"
"Who are you?" Scott asked now looking at the man who was in a wheel chair,
"My name is Charles Xavier. And I would like to know if you want to come to the my institute to learn how to control your powers and become the first member of the X-Men"
"Who are the X-Men?"
"The X-Men are people with powers just like you. They help to keep the people safe from other people with gifts" Xavier answered, Scott thought for a few moments, 'could there really be people like me?' he then looked at the Professor,
"Ok, I'll join the X-Men" Scott said, The Professor smiled
"Welcome to the X-Men Scott."
Only later did Scott find out that he had to leave the country he was in, and that he would never see the girl who made him have courage in himself.
End of Flashback
By the time Scott stopped thinking about that time he noticed that Kurt, Rouge, Kitty and lastly Jean where all in his car ready for a lift back to the institute. Then he noticed they where all staring at him wondering what he was thinking about and why he was holding a stone in his hand.
"So whats up with that stone Scott?" Kurt asked pointing to the stone. Scott shoved the stone into his pocket
"Erm, nothing just my good luck charm" He replied everyone in the car looked at each other with confusion but they shrugged it off, Scott got into his car and drove back to the institute.
Once he parked his car on the drive way. He and the rest of the X-Men noticed that there was a car parked right out side of the main entrance,
"What do you thinks going on?" Rouge asked
"Probably a new mutant has arrived at the institute" Kurt replied hoping out of the car not using the door, Kitty opened her door and got out of the car Rouge fellowed Kitty and closed the door behind her, Scott and Jean did the same. Spike arrived on his skateboard and stamped on the end of it, it flipped up into the air and landed in his hands, he put it under his right arm and walked up to Jean and Scott. All of the X-men walked into the building to see the Professor, Storm and Logan talking to a girl with twisted blond hair and emerald green eyes, she turned to face the group of students who had just walked into the institute. The girl was wearing a neckless with a thine sliver chain with a little star hanging from it. The professor looked at his students and smiled
"X-Men meet your new team mate Willow" He said.
