The Lady Arrives at Xavier's:Part 2

disclamer:the X-Men belong to Marvel and Shannon is mine


After Shannon's ankle was wrapped in a brace,she and Rogue went to the room they

would share.Rogue opened the door and Shannon limped inside."Your bed's over

there",Rogue tells Shannon as she moves a chair near the bed for Shannon to prop her

foot on.As the two got ready for bed Shannon started to talk,"I escaped a group called

Thevies Guild six months ago.I spent all that time on the road playing pool in tournments

and in trashy pool halls to get this far.I was also attacked by a group called FOH and that

would explain my ankle".As Shannon spoke,Rogue noticed that her accent was the same

as Remy's and her skin seemed plaer and that she seemed thin."Shannon,have you ate

anything in the last couple of days?",Rogue asked with concern."Some salad this

afternoon",Shannon told her."You just seem really thin and you must have not slept in the

last few days" Rogue said."Nailed it" Shannon admits,her voice weak from pain."Get in

bed and I'll get some ice on your foot" Rogue tells Shannon as she puts a ice pack on

Shannon's ankle.Rogue climed into her bed and asked Shannon,"Feel like talking about

what happened when you were jumped?". "All I remember was being hit and crash landing

on the street and then I came too with intense pain in my foot and I somehow got to

O'Malley's and a phone",Shannon tells her.As they fall asleep Rogue tells Shannon,"Try

to sleep but if you need me just call"."Fair enough" Shannon tells her as she dozes off.


At 2AM Shannon woke uo after a intense and Rogue heard her almost

scream."Shannon,you ok" Rogue asks as she moved to Shannon's bed."I went through it

again" Shannon said through the tears that started to fall down her cheek.Rogue slipped

her gloved hand into Shannon's and whispered,just talk,I'll listen".As Shannon spoke,her

deep blue eyes seemed to darken as the tears started to trickle down her cheek,"I was

jumped and whoever did this torn my dress after I blacked out.A part of me knows that I

was raped from the way the dress was torn.I feel like garbage to be honest,part of me

deserves what happened"."You're not garbage" Rogue tells Shannon and adds,"What

happened was not your fault and whoever did it hurt you"."Only because someone figured

out the fact that I am a mutant",Shannon adds softly.Rogue tells her,"FOH does not

understand people like us so it turns to hate and what they did to you.Nobody deserves

what happened to you Shannon"."I know,but my mind keeps telling me otherwise"

Shannon says as her voice becomes a whisper."Keep telling yourself that it was not your

fault sugah.I've only known you a few hours but I like you.We are Southern girls and we

are mutants" Rogue tells Shannon as she reaches for Shannon's slender hand."You

know,your accent is the same as my boyfriend" Rogue says with a smile."Who is this

guy?",Shannon says with a very small smile."His name's Remy and you're meet him in the

morning.We both need some sleep but I'll be here" Rogue tells Shannon as she goes back

to bed and adds,"Keep your foot on the chair untill morning ok"."Okay" Shannon tells

Rogue as she falls asleep again.



The next morning as Shannon got dressed Rogue asked,"Coffee or tea? I'm going for

something to drink"."Tea,please" Shannon told her as she tried to dress.Shannon put on a

slim black dress and a pair of shoes that hid the brace on her ankle,Rogue came back with



two cups in her hand.She hands Shannon a cup of tea and tells her,"Hope I got it right"

and as Shannon sipped the tea she tells Rogue,"Nailed it" with a small smile.The two went

downstairs to eat breakfast as Shannon limped into the kitchen behind Rogue.Remy

noticed Shannon as she and Rogue came in.When Shannon limped over to a chair,Remy

pulled the chair out for her and Shannon told him,"Thank you,it is nice to be seen as a

lady".As Shannon spoke Remy figured out that she is a fellow cajun and tells her,"You're

welcome chere and with that foot you should stay off your feet".Rogue saw that her plan

was working and that Shannon would she that she was not alone anymore.As Shannon

fixed the slim black gloves on her hands Remy asked her,"What is your powers?"."I

charge things,when I throw what I charge a explosion happens" Shannon tells Remy and

starts to read between the lines and comes to understand what Rogue was telling her the

night before as she fell apart.Remy noticed Shannon's eyes and saw what she had escaped

from just a few months before when she left the Guild and asked her,"Do you have a

codename yet?"."Not yet,actually I seem to have run out of ideas for one" Shannon tells

Remy with her first smile that day.Rogue went to get Shannon's class schedule and

offered to walk with her to class."Of course Rogue" and she asks Remy,"Can we talk later

on?"."Of course chere" Remy tells Shannon as he helps her up and the two girls walk to

their first class of the day.



Any ideas for a code name?
