Hey there guys ! As I've promised, here's your chapter for the week ! I may post another one If I have enough time. My inspiration was going crazy and I had to write. Those are important news: Starting the next chapter and on, my co-judge in "My contest" Will start playing the role of my beta, so say goodbye to grammar mistakes and others ! I do not promise a perfect chapter but a better one ! So far, I have a lot planned for this story. I didn't reveal much informations so I could keep the mysterious "charm". Enjoy !

A gnome-like man was standing in the dark place, holding a needle. He's saying something, words she couldn't understand. Words in French, then he holds the needle and he inject her. All she feels is pain, the man laugh, and then pain, pain and more pain...

She opened her eyes and jumped into a sitting position, clamping her hands around her throbbing head, completely ignoring the pain of her twisted ankle. Devices were linked to her and she tried to yank them all, causing herself even more pain.

"Don't be scared child. We're only trying to help" said an old man, coming next to her in his wheelchair. She finally relaxed, but she could feel she was forced too. She tried to get as much air through her tired lunges as she could

"W-why ca-can't I Bre-breath normally?" She asked, looking at the old man next to her.

"You'll have some problems with your rib in the current time; a friend is in his way over here so he can heal your wounds" explained the old man. She nodded in response before clenching her teeth in pain.

"I would have given you painkillers, but your blood-system endured a lot of drugs lately. I think we will only damage it by giving you pills" she nodded again and tried to crack a smirk that ended as a grimace

"Whe-where Am I?" The old man turned his wheelchair and retrieved something from the table and then turned around

"You're at my school child. It's a special school for mutants. I will tell you more about it when you'll be fully healed. Meanwhile, just know it's somewhere safe" the object that he retrieved earlier was revealed to be a tray that contained what seemed like a vegetable salad, a soup and a glass of water.

"I'm sure you need to eat, you're body hasn't been receiving his fair amount of Vitamins lately" He was speaking like some professional doctor.

"Thanks" Finally, her voice wasn't hoarse and she was able to speak without problems. As soon as she took the first bite, a knock was heard from the other side of the door. A black-haired Japanese man entered the room, wearing a brown coat and a suit underneath it.

"Ah, Charles, long times no see." greeted the man, shaking the other one's hand, known as Xavier.

"Hello Heiru, Thank you for coming. As you see, I need some of your talents to help this young lady here" Heiru looked at the sitting girl who was scowling at the wall.

"Konnichiwa miss, I'm Dr. Heiru Homoshikawo. Nice to meet you" He said, extending his hand at the girl who took it.

"I'm Sasha, Sasha Celera" Xavier suddenly seemed to pay even more attention

"Are you Sam's daughter, the owner of the Celeras' companies?" Asked Xavier

"You mean the pathetic excuse of a father? I'm afraid that's a yes" She answered, narrowing her eyes in a bored fashion

"Very well, I see that hank already did a full analyze, I may want to read it" Said Heiru picking a file up

"You may want to read it loud, I need to know what's wrong with me" Said Sasha

"Very well, I will excuse myself to check on my other patient" Interrupted Xavier as he exited the sterilized room.

"Very well, it says here that you have several minor injuries such as bruises, cuts and some few needles trace. You also have some slight burns, nothing too serious, and finally, a twisted ankle and damaged rib. Your powers are temporary not working, you kept the anti-powers collar for a week, which will give you problems using them since your brain temporary forgot how to activate them, but don't worry they'll be back in two days or such" explained Heiru

"And you actually think you can heal me of everything?"

"I've lived in different places and times; I know a lot of cultures. I can certainly heal you." he began searching in his bags for a bottle of green liquid

"How is that?"

"Well, if you're interested in knowing, my power as a mutant consists on travel, every kind of travel you can think of. But unfortunately, travelling in the time line for too long can shut down your time process, in another meaning; it makes you immortal, like me." Explained Heiru as he finally reached for a glowing bottle and mixed the two together.

"In other words, you have multiple abilities, which makes you nearly unreachable?"

"I never said that, each one of us have a weakness point. Here drink this, it will heal any internal organ that is injured" He handed her the bottle and she tried her best to swallow everything without spitting

"Can't you go back in time and prevent this from happening?" She asked, giving him the empty bottle back

"I simply can't, time have rules as does travel in its line. I can't go back and change it. I can't change destiny, if you're destined to come here, nothing will prevent it" Explained Heiru again, this time giving her a little bag of pink powder

"Here, mix this with your class of water. It will heal your damaged rib" She did as told and drowned the sweet tasting liquid.

"What's this?"

"Cherry powder mixed with Jasmine and some other herbs. It's a recipe I learned from one of the healers in an ancient village in 1567, he was a mystique and knew a lot about human body"

"So, is there any other medicine I should take?"

"Those aren't medicines, their natural cures to the body, so take this, if you drink it, you'll get rid of all the bruises and body marks" Handing her another bottle that contained a vanilla smelling liquid.

"Thanks"

"Anyway, it's such a pleasure meeting you. I'll have to go now, any questions before I go?" He asked, packing everything in place and standing up

"Yeah, why can't I remember a shit about what happened in our escape?"

"Your memories have been clouded by a telepath; you'll have to discuss those things with the professor." Once that said, he opened the door and got out

Pushing the covers and standing up herself, she was surprised to find herself clean of all the bruises, she felt at the top of her health and her muscles didn't ache. The guy must be a genius She thought as she began walking toward the door. Clicking the few buttons on it sides, it opened and she got out.

Expecting the place around her she noticed an open door in front of her own, where a grumpy face was showing and a familiar one to be exact. The figure was known as the grumpy Vivian, her cell-mate.

Before she could say anything, she felt pain ripping in her insides, not exactly pain, but a pain illusion that a so familiar gnome was used to give.

I would not beg for reviews but I would feel happy if you reviewed ! Bye !
