Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from X-Men or X-Men First Class only my fictional character Alexandra Masters portrayed by Allie DeBerry.
"Well Alexandra, this is where you will be staying." Chares told me, although I wasn't fully listening.
Honesty I don't even remember when I got in the car, or if I agreed to this. All I felt was frozen. The irony, right. After I did whatever it was I did to my sister Charles explained that if I came with him to this place he would help me. Help with my… mutation, so I never have to do that against my will again. I guess somewhere along the way I agreed and came with them. Oddly enough I didn't bother to pack a bag and I just left.
"Is she going to be okay?" I finally spoke.
"Yes, I believe it should wear off any mo-" he started.
"Should, or will." I questioned a little harshly.
"Well there's no way to tell just how strong your mutation is." He answered with a frown.
My eyes hazed over slightly, "let's just go." I told him ending the conversation.
'Where did the taller one go?'
"Oh, Erik, he stayed back to retrieve some of your thing for your stay." Charles said answering my thoughts.
"You let a man go through my things!"
"Well I guess now that I think about it, it may not have been the brightest thing to do." he joked.
I grimaced "may." I replied in a snarky tone.
I know I was being rude but all of a sudden this man comes to my house and now my sister is frozen at home. With a man, that's going through all of my stuff. Meanwhile I'm being sent off to some lab rat facility where they are most likely to torture me and use me as a dissection frog.
"Oh I can assure you no one is going to be dissected here, it is a completely safe place for people like you and I."
'STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!' I screamed mentally.
Charles flinched but said nothing as he walked ahead of me. He opened the glass doors to show a large white room with little decor.
"This way please." He directed me down a hallway, also white, no surprise there.
"This is where you'll be staying, now I have a few important matters to attend to so I'll just have Raven show you around. Raven is another mutant here and-" he started but was stopped by a blonde haired girl, a little taller than me.
"Wow and here I was thinking I was your sister, turns out I'm just another mutant that stays here." She joked slightly. So this must be Raven.
"AND," Charles started again, "she won't ever let you finish your sentences." He joked back.
"Okay, can we just get going." I rushed.
After showing me around fully Raven turned to me.
"So you wanna tell me why you're so, crabby."
"I am not cr-"
"Save it," she said sticking up a hand to silence me, "so what happened did Charles out your mutation to a boy you like or something?" Raven asked.
"Actually, I didn't know about my what ya' call, mutation. When Charles and Erik came in that was the first I had heard about mutation. Then it turns out I'm a freak and ended up freezing my sister where she stood. Now excuse me if I'm a little, crabby but I think I at least have the right to be angry for a little while longer. " I admitted.
Her face turned to one of sympathy, "well sorry about springing this whole thing on you so fast, but that's no reason to be angry at Charles. If I know him at all, he's been nothing but nice and has tried to help you."
"Well, I don't know I guess it's a little overwhelming, I mean I just found out about this whole thing today and I'm not even sure what my power anyway so…" I trailed off.
She looked to me with a wide smile, "well then, let's go find out." she said taking my hand and dragging me somewhere.
We soon reached a little outside area surrounded by building, go figure, it seems like everything here is monitored. There were a few windows showing the insides of the rooms. One room had two mirrors and on the other side was a large golf ball-shaped machine.
"That's Cerebro," Raven pointed, "that's Spanish for-"
"Brain." I finished, "I took Spanish in middle school." I explained.
"So, show me your power." Raven said excitedly.
"I, don't really know how to use it yet." I reminded her.
"Oh right, stay here, I'll be right back." She told me then ran back inside.
Her blonde hair swished behind her in loose curls. She reminds me of my mom. A younger, taller, nicer version of my mom, but her none the less. Fair skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, almost makes me wonder what my mom was like before the… incident. Just like she promised she was back soon, with someone else. He was tall with dark brown hair, glasses and a lab coat, twitching uncomfortably under my gaze.
"This," she said pointing to him, "is Hank, Hank meet Alexandra." she introduced.
"Please, call me Allie." I said shaking the hand out in front of me.
He gave a tight-lipped smile before asking why we were out there.
"Oh well Allie here, doesn't really know her power, so I wanted to try it out on you." She smiled making his eyes go wide.
"I'm not so sure about-" Hank started but Raven cut him off, wow I guess Charles was right.
"Oh, please." She pouted with puppy dog eyes.
He gave a soft sigh and raven took that as a go signal.
"Okay, now do whatever you did when you froze your sister." Raven instructed making Hank look to her like she was crazy but neglected to say anything.
I can already tell this isn't going to go well.
