Chapter 3- A Life

Lena's POV

When the blast happened, I decided to leave everyone, even Kurt. I still miss him and everyone else. I moved to England and decided to start school. I had had to start in the middle of year 12, which was just a bit awkward, but I was still top of the class.

I wanted a normal life, so I pretended to be normal. I would never have a normal life as mutant. Sometimes I asked myself why I was doing it. I had to join in being mean to the mutants who had come out. It made me feel sick inside.

I had some nice friends, but they were few and far between. Most of the people in this school were openly mean to the mutants and the teachers did nothing, they just sat there. My friends were among the few who helped them out, in secret of course. If we came out about what we did, we'd be mobbed. We do have a little bit of sense left.

Every day is tedium, putting up with these people, knowing I could blast them where they stood if I chose. Listening to their monotony about what's better R n B or Rock. Do they not know what more important things there are to worry about?

I guess because I've been there, I feel that they're burning issues. Although their morals concerning mutants are pretty much fixed. They're, sorry, we're freaks, like evolution is just something that got it completely wrong and if they just keep locking us up then we'll die out.

But I can see into their minds, I know what insecurities plague their self centred minds. They think that we're going to take over the world, and they secretly want all that power. They envy that telekinetic girl in the year below us because she's powerful, and she's the future.

They feel left behind. Because they haven't evolved they feel like they are left behind and that there is no room in the future for them. Although the way they're going there won't be anyone left to be the future.

Usually I take a bus into school, although I find it's just a living torture session. I mean come on who wants to be stuck on a bus listening to them debate whether they should go to this party or that one. It's so excruciating listening to that day in day out.

One ordinary Friday we were going along the road we always go along and the bus just stopped. Then it rumbled and the next thing we knew, what we saw around us wasn't the familiar townscape we usually see, but clear grey skies.

Damn it, I was too darn tired to deal with this. At this point everyone was panicking. I almost screamed at them to shut up and let me think. But then I decided that probably wasn't the best idea. At that moment all the windows were open so we could hear what he said.

No one had noticed but hovering in front of the bus was a man with grey hair who looked very calm and in control and was also a mutant extremist called Magneto. So what he said took everyone by surprise.

"Come out Lena, come out and talk to me properly."
I sighed and thought that could be interesting seeming how with energy manipulation I couldn't fly. Slight flaw in his plan there. However almost as soon after that he placed some pieces of metal as a walk way to him.

Absolutely fantastic, bye bye cover as a normal human. No one had gathered that I was Lena, due to the fact that I was going by Sarah here. So when I moved towards the stairs, a particularly irritating girl in my year stood in front of me and said

"Where are you going?"
I didn't have the energy to deal with her squeaky little voice and her too. So I simply said
"Look move, please?!"
By that time the others had noticed that I had moved so I was bombarded with questions, insults and accusations.

There was a lot of sound energy to use there, so as soon as I had thought that, it was kinetic energy and everyone around me had flown backwards into the windows, and they were suddenly silent. Finally, some peace!

I walked steadily down the stairs, inwardly smirking at their faces. I pressed the emergency button and the bus doors opened. I stepped onto the metal plate and it started moving towards the ground as did Magneto.

Whilst I was still moving I gathered up the kinetic energy to use for later, if only I could use all my powers! But then I would be dead quicker than a bar of chocolate in a girl's school. Finally we were on the ground, and I was no longer in Magneto's power anymore.

"So Lena, it's been a while hasn't it? We have a lot to catch up on."
"Oh yeah weren't you kicked out as ruler of Genosha by your own daughter?"
At that he grimaced.
"Yes and that's why I'm here, I need you for the brotherhood of Mutants, I know you're fed up of them; fed up of humans with their ignorance and prejudice. I can offer you a way to make all of this go away. We will be the master species like we should."

I stood there and thought. Some people would say no immediately, but I had lived as a human, and now I couldn't quite work out why I did it. I had lived and tried to help, but was I really making a difference? I knew the answer, and I knew what my decision would be.

"Go shove it Magneto"
"I was afraid you would say that."

With that he picked up a parked car and threw it at me. Tsk tsk, these evil villains really never learn. I stopped that car, gathered all the kinetic energy and threw it back. It continued like that for ages, back and forth, back and forth.

Finally I saw I way out. There was a lorry on the side of the road, stopped by magneto in his efforts to be very overdramatic. It was open and was delivering plastic bags to the Morrison's on the next street. That was uncannily lucky; it was so perfect it could have been from a movie scene.

So I grabbed the kinetic energy form the next car and instead of throwing it back threw the plastic bags at him. He was out like a light, and I had saved the day; again.

I turned around and all the metal objects fell to the floor. Pooh. I stopped them at the bottom straining under the stretch of keeping a whole street of cars and buses afloat. Then gingerly I laid them down as they were before, only to be met with faces that looked at me like a piece of scum. A thank you would have been nice.

Everyone staggered out of their vehicles, including my entire bus.

"Freak!"
"Mutant!"
"You don't belong in the world!"

Could they not think of new insults? I won't pretend that I wasn't deeply hurt though, I had known these people for a while now. They knew I was nice and friendly, so why all of a sudden am I a freak?

I turned away not wanting to look at them, they made me feel like I did before. But I knew I was better than that, I wasn't going to be brought down. But as I turned away I was met with several faces that helped me remember I wasn't alone.

They had come for me. I had missed them so much, and as soon as I saw Kurt I ran and leapt into his arms, my feet dangling. Finally I was home.
