It might be sad but this is my longest chapter ever… I am so sorry if I don't write your oc's the right way, if you don't like the way I write them please tell me so I can fix it. KittyPryedOldFan gave me the inspiration to write this, so the story is dedicated to her. The first part you saw in the first chapter so yeah… warning Japanese is in this chapter and the translations are at the bottom of the chapter.

"Well Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong I think he would like it here. We have the state of the art technology and all the classes deal with advanced learning; however, your son's grades are not what earned him a place in this school. As you know, your son is a mutant. Kenneth has a unique ability, and we can teach him how to control it. Make it so he won't be possessed by his power. We want to help your son understand his mutation, but only if you allow us."

"Huff, huff, huff."
The figure was panting. She had not been able to outrun anyone before, but then again she had never raced against a beast. She spared a glance behind her only to see that the beast was still on her tail though considerably farther back. Knowing the surroundings better than her predator did make it all a bit easier for her and trickier for him.

"How many students do you already have, Ms Munroe?"
"None, this is actually the first year of schooling in this new branch but Xavier's school for gifted youngsters in New York has taught over 5009 students from the last five years."
"Why exactly is there another school opening up?"
"Xavier's is not exactly big enough for more than one hundred students and so far in the last two years they're have been almost double the amount that the school should hold. Here at Xavier's institute for higher learning we are trying to make it so there will be more young mutants educated but they won't have to all go to New York for their chance of education."
"What exactly is the difference between the Xavier's branch and the school that recently closed down in Massachusetts? Or here from the branch in New York?"
"The difference between Massachusetts academy and Xavier's institute are simply Massachusetts requires money to apply and attended whereas Xavier's receives it's funds by financial supporters like the Worthington Industries or Costa International, Wakanda has also been a generous funder. As for the difference between here and the New York branch, the difference is there will be lesser students here rather than the almost two hundred at New York. I think your son will like it here not only because of its education but because here he will be accepted for who he is."

She stopped running finally. Turning to glare at her chaser, she demanded "I didn't steal any of your bananas, NOW STOP FOLLOWING ME YOU BIG APE!"
The beast eyes became sorrowful as he responded to her insult. "Done to death by slanderous tongue Was the Hero that here lies" alas I have been confused for mankind's brother so many times I must say I have grown used to it. Still it hasn't been my favorite way to be remembered, Ororo gets to be remembered as a goddess yet I will always be the beast. Some people get all the luck."
Seeing what she before thought to be a gorilla speaks, the young girl drew a gun from underneath her billowing trench coat. "Who sent you? Why were you following me? What do you want? What do you know?" she hissed glaring at beast with her dark hair falling to cover the edges of her brown eyes.
"Relax Terra,-" beast was cut off by the girl, now identified as Terra.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Would you prefer me to call you Long?"
She didn't object to that name so Beast continued, "Miss Long, my name is Henry McCoy. I work at a school for people like us, mutants." pausing long enough for Long to scoff at his words. Henry continued on "I am offering you a place at this school. We could help you control your gifts, help you understand them. Will you come back with me to my school?"
Long examined Beast on last time and calmly walked towards him before planting an unexpected punch on a surprised Henry. "That's a negative."
Before Hank could even try to stop her, she was long gone.

"Thank you for meeting with us Ms. Munroe, I hope Kenneth will feel very at home here." Mr. Armstrong said shaking Ororo's hand with a tight grasp.
"Oh I'm sure he will."

"How did it go with the Armstrong's?" Beast asked the holographic image of Ororo Munroe. The resident weather witch let a small smile grace her features before answering.
"Kenneth will arrive the day after next. How did your meeting with Miss Long go?"
"Ah the lady doth protest too much, and she throws a mean right hook!" as Hank woefully told Ororo his tale, the new x-jet started to grasp height.
Forge had decided that as it was a new school he should be able to make the new jet with a few, well he called them adjustments. Not even Reed Richards would have been that daring, but Forge was still only about twenty-three even if he had been trapped in middle verse for twenty years.
"Before you come back to the institute, can you drop by the airport? A new student will be meeting you there."
Henry was brought out of his reverence as he heard Ororo's instructions. Nodding he asked,
"Who is this student?" with a small smile Ororo looked at her long time comrade.
"Her father sent her here from Japan. Her name is Yuna Lane; a man whom her father employs will escort her. I
think you'll like her," catching Henrys confused expression she added,
"She's blind."

"ここで、この学校、ミスターリンですか?"
"それはワシントンで車線を欠場です"
"あなたは玲ミスター感謝"
Yana intertwined her fingers trying to picture what this school could look like. She missed her sister; Yukina always knew how to describe things to her. Sighing, Yana tried to sit herself in a more comfortable position; well being on a plane for thirteen hours and thirty-four minutes was not exactly a joy ride, especially being blind.
"我々はに着陸される車線を欠場"
"ありがとう" Yana sighed again she did not like Mr. Ling he was too quite, too unimaginative.
When Yana stepped into the American airport, the sound hit her like a welcoming committee. A small smile flickered on her face. It stayed there as she and Mr. Ling made their way through the crowd ling directing on where to step.
"Ah you must be Miss Lane! Hello, my name is Henry McCoy I am a teacher at Xavier institute higher learning if you'll come with me." Henry examined the young girl hiding behind a tall Japanese man in a business suit.
"You are Mr. McCoy of Xavier?" the man said in broken English.
"Yes I just said that, you must be miss lanes escort-" Mr. Ling started to walk away not bothering to say Farwell.
"Ah? Well I guess we should be going then Yuna. How is your English?" Beast took her luggage one arm still looking after Mr. Ling.
" I speak English little." she hesitantly responded.
"That's okay Ororo knows Japanese shell help you learn English. So what exactly is your mutation?" Taking the luggage into the jet, Hank looked over at her wondering what she could do.
"Pardon?" following the footsteps Yuna was able to set herself upon a chair near the front of the jet.
"What is your power?" Henry started up the engine and stared up in the air before looking back at Yuna.
"Power? Umm uh, realistic dreams in mind." Yuna started to run her hands over the seat to get a better feel of where she was.
"So you can make people see things, illusions." The rest of the plane ride passed in silence.

"Hello you must be Yuna I am Ororo Munroe I will be your head teacher here at Xavier's." Ororo knew the line so well it practically rolled off her tong when she met new people. Unfortunately most of the time, the people she met were mutants. Not only had the humans distanced themselves from mutants but also other hero's would see them as threats not allies.
Ororo was so caught up in her thoughts that she almost didn't catch Yuna's greeting. Smiling at the young girl, she offered her a bit more information on the school, telling her that she would enjoy it here and so on. The young girl had a interesting power. It wasn't unheard of but humans would consider her dangerous; group her in with the telepaths, think that she would be able to steal their thoughts and secrets. They were however wrong Yuna, could cause no physical harm; at least not directly. No her gifts were completely mental.
Soon enough Ororo heard herself saying, "Why don't I show you to your room? I think you'll like it it's been designed just for you?"
"Hai, tank you." the woman seemed nice. When she was talking about how she would like it here, she seemed sincere. Clicking her tong Yuna followed Ororo silently wondering how the room had been designed.
Then like a blast, Yuna could well not see clearly but she definitely knew where everything was. For the first time in her life Yuna didn't need any to describe anything to her, she didn't need to touch anything either. There was a bed in the farthermost corner of the room! Opposite that, there was a desk and chair. A dresser was standing tall beside the desk, a small shelf just above the desk.
"Using the sonar technique, we were able to design a room that would be suitable for you. You see, there are holes in the furniture that capture and magnify the echoes you use to see. Hopefully by this time next month you will be able "see" the whole institute and not just your room." Yuna had turned to the sound of Ororo's voice; once the echoes had stopped, the room had disappeared.
Deciding that the young girl probably did not understand half of what she had said Ororo decided to repeat it in Japanese. "我々ができる適切なあなたのためになる部屋を大幅に削減するが ソナー技術を使用してあなたが参照してください、そこにキャプチャしてご覧に使用してエコーを拡大の穴があります。この時うまくいけば、来月することがで
きない"となります参照してください"全機関だけでなく、お部屋"
Yuna smiled, she already liked it here. They had personalized her room to help her, not many people would take enough time to do that. Really only her sister. And when she was alive her mother and father would help her see, but now...
"必要になります感謝任意のヘルプ解凍を必要としない。"
"Hai, if you need any help just call."

"Ororo! The professor sent us some more possible students I think we should look into them soon." Hank called over his shoulder to Ororo.
"Hmm? Let me see the email," moving over to Hanks side to see the computer screen.
"It is not email; it is an electronic connection system." Henry reminded her.
"Call it what you want to me it will always be a fancy version of
email." giving a small smile to her friend. "I despise having to rely on Charles to find our students."
"About the students?"
"It's late, there are two of us, someone needs to stay here with Yuna and we can't visit all three of them tonight. Why don't we go see them tomorrow."?
"Of course, however I think we might have to wait until Kenneth arrives as Yuna seems more comfortable around you and no one will let me into their house."
Considering this Ororo let her eyes wander around the room.
"Perhaps your right. It would also give Yuna more time to learn English before having to socialize with the other students." walking away from the screen, Ororo took a seat in one of the chairs then looked at Beast.
"There's a surprisingly uprising number of mutants in the United Kingdom. I wonder why?"
"Well," Henry hesitantly replied. "Ninety-two point one of their populations are Caucasian, perhaps the mutant ex-gene runs more deeply in those of European decent."
"Hmm, perhaps." looking down at the files in front of her flipping through the papers Ororo offhandedly asked, "You're quite sure that Terra will not be joining us?"
Gingerly lifting a hand to his cheek, Hank was sure that underneath his blue fur there was a bruise forming.
"Most definitely."

Crawling out from the small shaft in the jet Long glanced around. She had to hide herself more thoroughly when the girl came on, damn blind enhanced hearing. Cursing quietly she quickly found the door to the jet and jumped down. Looking around she felt a small pang of pride, after all, it would be her home for the awhile.

Hank sat back in the recreational room it had been a lazy day, at least for him. Ororo had been working with Yuna on her English, and Yuna being the only student Hank had a very lazy day. He had done sessions in the danger room, went grocery shopping at the nearest no-frills that allowed mutants, rewired the computer system so only a scientific genius would understand it, then felt guilty about rewiring the computer system and changed it back to the way it was originally.
Personally he couldn't wait for more students to come he was getting tired of living in a house full of estrogens, sure Yuna was much too quiet and shy to be considered annoying, no when he compared her to Tabitha she was very toned down. And Ororo had never been one of those women, but still he had been living in this house with two females, another male wouldn't be too much to ask for.
"Henry!" Ororo's voice called not urgent but obviously important. "Kenneth will be here soon! Are you ready?"
Pulling himself up from his spot on the couch Twinkie, wrappers started to litter the floor.
"Of course I am!" he called back to her. Unfortunately, just a moment later Ororo appeared in the doorway with Yuna at her heel. Giving him a disapproving look, Ororo let the winds sweep up the wrappers and had them land swiftly in the garbage.
"You really shouldn't be eating those things they're bad for your health. "
"Kitty's cooking is bad for my health yet you always encourage me to eat it!" Hank defended. Having guessed what the argument was about Yuna giggled slightly.
Shaking her head Ororo replied, "It's good for her self-esteem. Now come."
Kenneth's parents said they were going to drop him off at noon." Hank followed them still mumbling about Kitty's cooking.

"Kenneth, welcome!" Ororo said with a serene smile. It had always amazed Kenneth at how sincere she could be, granted he had only met her once before but still.
"Good morning ma'am. How are you on this lovely day?"
Laughing at the boy's attempts at being polite and charming. She politely responded,
"I am fine, thank you for asking. May I introduce you to Miss Yuna Lane our only other student here? Yuna has the ability to create illusions in the mind." Yuna who was still somewhat hiding behind Ororo gave a small shy smile and a little wave.
"And of course you know Henry. Yuna why don't you show Kenneth to his room?"
Kenneth noticed the surprised look that appeared on both Henry's and Yuna's faces. Then he noticed that Yuna's eyes were hovering just above his forehead.
"Um- of course Ms. Ororo. Please follow me." clicking her tong Yuna started to lead the way to his room across the building from hers.
"Why do you make that sound with your tongue?" Kenneth felt a little rude asking her but was very curious as to why.
"I am um- blind I, uh- do this because, umm- it helps me know where things
are." Yuna's English had gotten much better from the two days of learning
with Ororo.
"Oh" feeling rather awkward Kenneth tried to start another conversation. "So uhh- when did you get here?"
Ignoring Kenneth's question. She simply stated, "We're here."
"Uhh, thanks." there was another long awkward pause that was ended when Henry appeared and asked the two to follow her.
"I'm sorry for asking you here so suddenly but this is rather important and we've had to wait a few days already." Henry said leading them out of Kenneth's room and started to lead them into the planning room, Ororo was waiting there in her uniform with a few files in her hands.
When she saw them enter the room, she smiled. "I'm sorry for interrupting you from your unpacking but we just had to let you know that we would be leaving for a few hours to find some more potential students."
Yuna bit her lip at hearing this but stayed quite. Kenneth however did not have that talent. "We're going on a mission already? I don't have a costume but I guess you have one for me already! So who's team leader? What's my codename?" the boy could not contain his excitement.
Ororo and Hank exchanged glances. Then Henry said softly "You misunderstood Ororo, when she said we she meant myself and her. We had to tell you because you needed to know that we won't be her for a few hours." Kenneth's excited grin slowly faded.
"So no mission? Or costumes?"
"Perhaps when you have more field experience." Ororo gave him a small, understanding smile.
"Not even a team leader?" he said frowning.
"Well since you two are the first students you may decide who between the two of you the leader is." Henry smiled not really thinking much of it seeing as the leader could always change in the future.
"I can't lead team! I'm-I'm blind!" Yuna gasped that she was even considered to lead the new team,
"So I guess that-" Kenneth started but was interrupted by a young girl walking through the door.
"I am the new leader." Long sneered at Kenneth. Letting her long dark hair fall over her shoulders.
"Who are you?" Kenneth demanded at the same time a surprised Beast
exclaimed "Miss Long! What are you doing here?"
"I stalked you to here. I'm joining the X-men." her simple yet strange explanation had the whole room gawking at her.
" But if you wanted to join why you didn't just-?" Henry started.
"Actually, GO with you? Simple I'm not stupid." Ororo stared at the
girl. Surely, she did not mean if she had, went with Henry something would've happened? Ororo was about to question her but before she was able to ask Kenneth questioned her "What makes you think you could lead the X-men?" the smirk never left her face but it seemed to grow a bit more sadistic
. "I'm already master of fighting techniques so it just makes sense. Surely, you don't actually think YOU should be leader. You don't know how to survive out there."
"We have to go Henry I've made appointments with the families. Miss
Long are you going to-"
"No."
"Okay then let's go."

Yuna and Mr. Ling's conversation part one
Yuna: Now where is this school, mister Ling?
Mr. Ling: It is in Washington miss Lane.
Yuna: Thank you mister Ling.
Yuna and Mr. Ling's conversation part two
Mr. Ling :We are landing soon miss Lane.
Yuna: Thank you.
Ororo and Yuna's conversation
Ororo: Using the sonar technique, we were able to design a room that would be suitable for you. You see, there are holes in the furniture that capture and magnify the echoes you use to see. Hopefully by this time next month you will be able "see" the whole institute and not just your room.(its just a repeat of what she said in English.)
Yuna: Thank you. I do not need any help to unpack.
*Hai means yes.
Sorry for the Japanese (I used a online translator so if you actually know how to speak the language I am sorry for any wrong character thingies) but if she just came from Japan then I think that she should speak Japanese. I KNOW Storm speaks Japanese but don't know if Hank does so that is why Ororo is teaching Yuna English. Three more characters will appear in the next chapter, if you do not see your oc do not fear all oc's WILL appear, but they wont all be main characters. Yeah I just realized that I have two oc's named Kale…yeah. Please tell me what you think of my writing your oc's, I don't want to write them wrong.
Unfortunately, Yuna does not belong to me she belongs to Mysterious Bluerose, and the Xmen belong to marvel or Disney or wherever they're from now…
Kenneth and Long do however belong to me! ;D
