Hey everyone. I am back with a new update. Firstly I want to thank all of you who took the time out to leave a review, you guys are awesome! Thank you to everyone who faved and follows this story. It means so much to me. Secondly, a lot of you are estimating Peter's age in twenties because he ages slower, so I guess for the purpose of this story, let's say he's 22. Now without further ado, let's get on with the story!

Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters except Iris.

...

Iris looked up at the tall building looming in front of her.

"Here goes nothing," she muttered as she walked in through the gates.

She could hear a people laughing and talking. She kept her head down and walked towards the building.

"Hey," she said to a guy wearing some cool red shades, "where can I find Charles Xavier?"

The guy looked at her for a moment.

"Are you new here?" asked the guy, "I'm Scott,"

"Iris," replied Iris, "I'm just visiting."

Scott snorted.

"Yeah no your not," he said rolling his eyes, "if you're already here, you aren't leaving."

"We'll see about that," said Iris coolly walking to move past Scott.

He quickly caught up to her.

"Hey I didn't mean it in an offensive way or anything," said Scott, as they walked through the halls of the school, "just that this place has everything you could want. Or so they say. Take a right here."

Iris obeyed him and took a right.

"How long have you been here?" she asked.

"Almost a year," replied Scott, "What's your power?"

"I'm not sure," replied Iris, "that's what I came to find out. The other day, that guy I met told me something about me negating his powers or-,"

Scott stopped suddenly and Iris nearly bumped into him since he had been walking ahead.

"You can negate someone's powers?" he asked in surprise, "can you show me? I mean can you negate my powers?"

Iris looked away uncomfortably.

"I mean I can't actually do it on purpose," she said, "The guy, Peter said his powers stopped working when he came into contact with my skin."

"Peter Maximoff?" asked Scott, "fast guy? Silver hair?"

"Yeah that's him!" said Iris, "you know him?"

"Yep," replied Scott grinning.

"So what's your power anyways?" asked Iris, "it feels so weird asking that!"

Scott pointed to his eyes and made laser beam sounds.

Iris's eyes widened.

"For real?" she asked.

Scott nodded grinning.

"So here we are," said Scott as he stopped in front of a door, "the professor is inside."

Iris took a deep breath.

"Thanks." she said as she knocked lightly on the doors.

"See you around, Iris," said Scott walking away with a wave.

"Come in," came a soft British accented voice.

...

"Two point five seconds," said Jean looking at the stop watch as Peter stopped running on the track.

He shrugged not very impressed. He could go faster.

"Hey!" came Scott's voice as he raced to join Peter and Jean on the track.

"Where have you been?" asked Jean, "we started practice ages ago."

"I overslept," replied Scott then turning to Peter he added, "also I met a certain new student."

Peter's face showed no change of expression.

"Oh?" he asked casually when he realized Scott seemed to be waiting for an answer.

"Yep," replied Scott, "a girl."

Jean snorted.

"Oh now I get why you were late," she muttered rolling her eyes, "did your X-ray vision come in handy?"

"For the fiftieth time!" said Scott, "these glasses don't have X-ray vision and neither do I."

Peter looked around him. These two bickered all the time, it was nothing new.

"So the girl," continued Scott, "apparently she can negate other people's abilities."

Peter's eyes which had been wandering all over the place snapped towards Scott.

"Iris is here?" asked Peter looking surprised.

He didn't think she would show up.

"I believe that's what her name was," said Scott pretending to be uncertain, then added, "she mentioned meeting you."

"Yeah," muttered Peter distracted, "hey is she meeting the professor?"

"Ye-," began Scott but Peter was gone already.

...

"So this thing," said Iris apprehensively, "its under my skin?"

"Yes," replied Charles, "for now. If you decide to stay here and train with us, you might be able to push it outside your body. So that, being in contact with you would no longer be necessary in order for you to negate someone's abilities."

"I can't stay here," said Iris shaking her head, "my uncle would never allow me to."

"That's no problem," said Charles comfortingly, "I can go speak to your uncle. Assure him that you are in safe hands."

Iris gave a little laugh. Yes, because it was her safety her uncle was worried about, she thought rolling her eyes.

"Oh it's not?" asked Charles.

Iris looked at him blankly.

"What?" she asked confused, "what's not?"

Before Charles could explain, realization dawned on her.

"Oh you were doing that mind reading thing," groaned Iris, "yeah please don't do that!"

There was a sudden gust of wind and Peter appeared smiling.

"Hello Peter," said Charles looking at him in surprise.

"Hello Professor," replied Peter, then added looking at Iris, "what you're stalking me now?"

"You wish." replied Iris rolling her eyes at him with a hint of a smile on her face.

"Right, you've already met Peter before," said Charles, "Anyways as I was saying, why do you think your uncle might not agree to let you stay here?"

"He's just different," replied Iris exchanging a look with Peter who kept quiet, "look you don't have to read my mind. Just leave the convincing up to me. However I need to be assured that I will have a place to stay here. Permanently."

Iris's voice broke a little in the end. Peter could see that she was genuinely worried.

"Always," replied Charles earnestly, "I promise you that."

Iris nodded.

"Alright then," she said standing up, "I'll be back later today with my stuff."

Charles nodded and extended his hand to Iris who took it.

"Hope to see you soon," said Charles then added, "hmm that feels strange."

He let go of her hand, a small smile on her face.

"What?" asked Iris curiously.

"It was so quiet," replied Charles a faraway look on his face, "goodbye Iris."

Iris nodded and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. She turned to find Peter behind her.

"Bet you didn't see me coming," joked Peter a small smirk on his face.

Iris laughed.

"It's going to take some getting used to," replied Iris.

Peter grinned and they walked side by side for a moment in silence before Iris spoke.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" asked Iris suddenly turning her blue eyes on him.

Peter pretended to think for a moment, and then rolled his eyes.

"You can ask me two," he replied like it was obvious.

"I was going to actually," admitted Iris sheepishly, "okay so you can't tell anyone about the home situation. I mean technically you're not supposed to know it either, stalker."

"If I wasn't stalking," pointed out Peter, "you wouldn't know of this place. Stalking is good."

Iris snorted.

"I'll take that as tacit compliance," said Iris, "and also could you come with me?"

"To your uncle's house?" asked Peter raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Iris shrugged misinterpreting his reaction as reluctance.

"I mean of course you don't have to," she muttered shaking her head, "forget it. I will-,"

Peter leaned close to her, a mischievous grin on his face.

"I'll race you there," he said, "and to be a fair, you can have a twenty minutes head start."

Iris felt her chest loosen in relief. She wasn't looking forward to this particular encounter with her uncle. And hopefully it would be the last. She just wanted someone there with her when she did this and for some reason, Peter, amidst all his weirdness, made her feel that she would be safe around him.

...
