'One month.' She thought to herself.
Molly was in her room staring out the window. It had been one day since the meeting and agreement. She slept well that night, the people were nice, and the food was fine, but her problem was that she had nothing to compare it to. No memories of her family, if she ever had one, friends, if she ever had any, or lifestyle, if it was decent or not.
She was a new person that was lost and confused. The Professor said he would probably be able to find out her last name and were she was born within the next two to three days. He had a giant database that he would use to find just about everything public about me.
She stood and entered the hallway. Jean had gotten her a few different colored t-shirts and different types of pants early that morning. She decided on a blue shirt with the skinny blue jeans her long brown hair was down and out of her emerald eyes.
Molly walked down the hall blending with the other students. No one tried to talk to her, probably because she wore a face that said 'Talk to me and I'll bite you.' She entered Charles's office and sat in her normal seat waiting for him to acknowledge her from his paperwork.
"Are you ready for your first day?" he asked tilting his head up to hers.
"First day of what?" she wondered what he had in store now.
"School. While I'm finding out the basics you can be studying with the others." he explained.
"Um…What am I supposed to do?"
"Go to classes and when I find something worth telling you I'll come and find you."
"Well I think anything you find will be worth telling." she smiled angrily at him.
"Not every little thing will be worth knowing. Just give me the time while you're in classes to find enough to get you really excited." He smiled kindly and opened a drawer pulling out a yellow notebook and black pen. "You can use these to take notes." He said passing them over the desk to Molly.
"Thanks." She said taking them from him.
Molly walked behind Charles as he lead her to a class room. The room wasn't small but not huge like his office was. There were eight rows of desk, horizontal facing the teacher at the front of the room, and at least ten seats in each row, going diagonal they went back reaching to the middle of the room.
Most seats were filled with boys and girls, big and small, black and white. When he wheeled in the teacher stopped, it was Storm, and the students turned to them.
"What can we do for you today Professor?" Storm asked nicely.
"Well we have a possible temporary student and she'll be in your class and I would like Kitty to help her through the day." He turned to a girl that sat second row third seat.
She had brown hair that came to her shoulders, she had on a white blouse and boot cut jeans with flip flops. She had books on her desk and papers with notes written on the top with about six more pages of notes, signaling she was a bookworm.
"That's fine Professor." Kitty smiled.
He turned to Molly and said, "She's one of our top students she should be able to get you caught up."
"Are you sure you want me to do this, I mean I'll only be here for a month." Molly said.
"You need a distraction, and maybe the teachers will cover something you've learned and it will trigger memories." He smiled.
"Alright." Molly said leaving his side and sitting next to Kitty with her notebook and pen.
Molly and Kitty sat there for a few seconds while Kitty explained what they were learning about. Molly was confused until Storm began to teach and then started learning some herself. Soon after Molly got the hand of the subject Storm stopped so they could do extra practice on their own, which was really just a break.
"I'm Kitty." She smiled.
"Molly" She said.
"So where are you from?" Kitty asked.
"Um.." Molly let out a slight laugh. "I don't know."
"You don't…"
"I lost my memory." Molly cut her off.
"Oh." Was all Kitty said.
As they sat in awkward silence a guy came up next to Kitty's desk. He had slightly spiked hair, but it looked more like a mess, a gray t-shirt and dark jeans.
"So, Kitty, who's your friend?" he asked.
"This is Molly." Kitty introduced. "Molly this is John."
"Hey." he said going over to Molly's desk front. "Wanna see a trick?"
"Why not." She sighed with a smile.
He took out a lighter flicked it open turning it on and with his hand pulled it turning it into a flower. "Ta-da" He smiled.
"That's nice. Do you wanna see a trick?"
"Sure." he said.
Molly snapped and a flame appeared, with the wave of her other hand it turned into a detailed rose with thorns and all just with the glimmer of fire. "Ta-da." she mimicked.
"Wow." Kitty said.
"How did you generate the flame?" John asked.
"What do you mean?" Molly asked.
"You didn't have a source, like my lighter." He pointed to.
"I've never needed one. I can use my internal body heat to make it," She said.
"Nice." He smiled. He nodded his head and walked away.
The class ended soon after. As Kitty and Molly were walking to the door , they were the first ones out, they both just went through the wall.
As they kept walking Kitty stared with wide eyes. "Did you just go through that wall?" She said shocked.
"Did you just go through that wall?" Molly asked back.
"Yeah but I thought you could control fire."
"I can do a lot more than play with fire." She said as they turned a corner.
"Like what?" Kitty asked.
"Watch where you step." Molly said as she made an ice patch as Kitty stepped down, slipping on it. As Kitty fell back she went through the ground and back up instead of taking the impact of the ground.
"Hey, that could've hurt!" She exclaimed.
"But it didn't." she said as Kitty lead them into large white open room in the back corners were punching bags and dummies probably for strength training. "Now what is this room?"
"The Training Room, we do a year in here and if Scott thinks we're ready next year we practice in the Danger Room. Logan came back today so maybe he'll teach us, if not Scott will, as normal." Kitty said.
"Ok." Molly nodded.
At that moment Scott and Logan both walked in. "Today we'll be doing individual training," Scott said.
"Line up!" Logan yelled.
"We'll use the attack we practiced last class and you defend the way you would in a normal situation. Logan and I are no longer you teachers, we are your enemy." Scott said in a commando voice.
Kitty and Molly had lined up with Molly behind Kitty. They were in the middle of the line with five people in front and a few behind them.
"Um…Kitty what did you all learn last time?" Molly hesitantly asked.
"Just watch you could pick up fast it's nothing fancy." Kitty blew off.
They watched as the first kid went up, he was tall, muscular and Kitty seamed almost in a dream. As Scott ran up to him in a charge, ready to attack from the right the man became covered in metal, steel metal. As Scott ran up to him the boy yanked Scott up and threw him to the other side of the room before he could even throw his fist toward the boy's body.
"Whoa." Molly said.
"Yeah, that's Piotr Rasputin, he's like the toughest of us students, but he's a nice friend." Kitty smiled.
"By the look on your face you don't want him as a friend." Molly laughed.
Kitty took in a sharp breath and laughed with her. "Shut up before someone hears you!"
"Yeah, yeah." Molly waved her off.
A few went up one boy was taken to the ground and had to be showed some pointers. Then two more went, including that John boy, who stopped Scott with a quick firewall.
A girl stepped up and removed her gloves, she put the two white streaks of her hair behind her ears and got in her stance.
"Not for long Rouge!" Logan yelled from the side lines.
"I know." She yelled back.
Molly watched intently as Scott shook him self off and got back in the same stance as before. He ran at Rouge fist ready, she quickly dodged left and reached out her hand to his neck for no more than five seconds and he was down, gasping.
Rouge gasped also Logan quickly shouted, "Close your eyes!" And she did.
"Here put these on," Scott said taking his goggle set off and handing it to her, with his eyes closed. "Logan you're up!"
"Sure thing." Logan said as he helped Scott and Rouge to the side lines.
He walked up to where Scott had stood each time, getting in the same stance and all. Kitty went up the same spot as the normal student.
"I want a challenge." Kitty said.
"We're just doing the simple attack." Logan said.
"Yeah but I can dodge you easier than anyone, PLEASE" She sighed.
"Alright, but just because you said please." he smiled.
He lunged forward and Kitty of course fazed through him. Before he could turn around she had kicked him in the back of his head, barely fazing him but slightly hurting her foot. The dance around him dodging her, her dodging him, and so on until Kitty got him from the back of his legs and sunk him onto the floor up to his neck.
"Good job." He complimented.
"You too." She huffed out of breath.
"Get me up." He demanded playfully.
She let him out of the floor and moved over to with the others that had already gone, by now Rouge had given Scott back his goggles and they were both fine.
It was Molly's turn and she stepped up. Logan was ready and so was she.
"You're the new girl, you still wanna go?" He asked.
"Yeah, and I want a challenge too." Molly said.
"For real?" Scott said from the side lines.
"Yes because if not I'd take him down too easily." Molly said getting a chuckle from Logan.
"Yeah right." He said.
"We'll see." Molly said, getting in stance.
He began the short run to her when she turn into a leopard lunging at him. As his fist came down toward her she fazed through him. The second he turned around she lunged sticking to his front cawing loudly bursting his eardrums. Logan yanked her off throwing her across the room and into the nearest wall, giving enough time for his ears to heal.
The students watched in awe, as did Professor Charles, who had arrived soon after Kitty was finished. They laughed as Logan looked lost looking for Molly who was nowhere to be seen. She soon appeared right next to him growing from an ant to her human self. She startled Logan who released his claws in surprise, getting her in the arm.
Everyone starred in horror, except Molly who laughed, and touched Logan's cheek sealing him in ice.
"Did she just beat Logan?" Rouge whispered to Kitty and Scott.
"Uh, yeah I think she did." Scott said in awe as Molly pushed the frozen Logan over causing the ice to break.
"Are you ok?" Logan gasped shaking off the cold.
"Hundred percent." Molly said, looking at her now perfectly fine arm.
"Surprised me kid," he said.
"I'm not a kid." She said sternly. "And why because I just beat you?" she joked.
"That too." he said walking back to Scott and Molly walked to Kitty and Rouge.
She walked over to Kitty and was introduced to Rouge. They talked a little, Molly learned that Rouge got her white streaks in her hair from when she was taken by Magneto who used her for an attack. And that Logan saved her and he was the reason she was here, when they were attack by Sabretooth, Scott and Storm saved her while Logan was knocked out.
The students were going through the rest of the class pretty well, then a teenage boy stepped up, and Molly just stared. The second Scott ran to him the boy froze his feet in place. Molly just continued to stare at the boy as Scott zapped the ice and went for the boy again.
"That's Bobby." Kitty said nudging Molly.
"Bobby what?" Molly asked.
"Um… Rouge what's Bobby's last name?" Kitty turned to Rouge who was smiling at Bobby.
"Drake, why?" She said looking at Molly who's eyes were still on Bobby.
"I….have a weird feeling." She said. Then the bell rang.
