Sorry these chapters are kind of short, I just don't feel that I have a whole lot of ideas on how to make the chapters longer. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to include it in your review and if I use your idea, I will post you user name in this author's commentary. I hope to hear many ideas because right now I am kind of stuck in writing the middle part. Also for the Xavier's school for the mutants, I don't know much about the X-men or of the school so I am kind of making it up as I go along. So it is not going to be exact since I don't know much about it, but I will try my best to make it a cool place for mutants.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the MARVEL characters, only my OCs and the story line.

Chapter 9

Tori

The next day at school proved to be an exciting one. I was still marveling over the fact that my arm was completely healed because of one man. I became giddy with excitement for my magic class, because we are allowed to pick a spell to learn for an end of the semester project. I knew just the spell that I was going to pick.

I go to school at Professor X's school for mutants otherwise known as those kids with extra special abilities that just don't fit in. I did what just about every other kid in regular school would do except for I got to participate in so much more than any average student. I was required to learn sword fighting, archery and other medieval style activities. We students also got to pick a few courses of our own to have fun in. That was where my magic class came in and that's where I was about to head to.

"Hey Tori," I heard a familiar voice call out from behind me as I was walking to my next class.

"Hey Tom," I replied, "What's up?"

"The sky," he replied through his thick British accent.

"Do you always have to reply that way when I ask?" I asked through a chuckle that I had let loose.

"If you don't want that response than don't ask me the question!" He asked.

I threw my hands up in a shrug exposing my newly healed left arm to my friend. I could see that he noticed that something was missing because his eyes grew three times their normal size. He moved around me to obtain a better look.

"What happened?" Tom asked me in bewilderment.

"What do you mean what happened?" I inquired while trying not to tip my hand.

"I mean, I thought there were stiches in your arm," he stated as he pointed to where the injury used to be.

"Oh you mean that?" I asked again as I turned my arm over to look at the slight scar that was left behind when Tommy healed my arm, "Some patient my mother has can do magic. He healed me after he noticed the stitches. He is really sweet to do that."

"You need to tell the professor," Tom assigned me.

"I had planned on it," I replied with a cheesy grin on my face.

We both jolted our heads away from eye contact when the bell rand signaling us that we only had five minutes till our next class began.

"Do you want to race?" Tom asked me as I glanced back his way. I couldn't help but smile at his smirk that had surfaced across his face.

"You read my mind," I sarcastically remarked as we both bolted toward our classroom.

*UCR*

"He is close," and eerie voice stated through the silence.

"It won't be long until the portal is open," another voice emanated through the walls of the place where they stood, "Get your men prepared for battle it won't be long until we can make our entrance."

Loki

I awoke with a start once again. I glanced around to see if I was really where I thought I was. The white walls and beeping instruments proved to me that I was exactly in the same room that I fell asleep in though honestly I couldn't remember falling asleep at all.

I then glanced towards what the mortals called a clock. I discovered that it was a tool that humans use to tell what time of the day it was. Tori taught me a little bit about how to read the clock and it currently read 3:24 pm.

I began to rub the sleep out of my eyes and taking a deep breath. Everything was becoming overwhelming. What did they mean by so close? Close to what?

"Great! You're awake!" I heard a familiar voice echo through my mind. I opened my now shut eyes to see Lesley standing in front of me looking very tired.

"That I am," I said masking the fear my dream had created perfectly.

"I just wanted to let you know that you are clear to return home," she said with a warm smile. She had walked closer to me.

I hesitated a moment knowing that I had no home. I had nothing. But I didn't know how to explain that to her. She must have noticed my hesitation.

"You don't have a home do you?" She asked sounding very sympathetic towards me and my situation.

"Not at the moment," I replied very sadly.

"Why don't you…," she began but was interrupted by a very energetic Tori.

"Mommy, guess what?" Tori ecstatically exclaimed as she jumped up and down next to her mother.

"What is it dear?" Lesley asked amidst a chuckle towards her child's enthusiasm.

"I told my professor about what Tommy did for my arm and he wanted me to tell you," Tori began as she hopped on over and sat next to me on the bed, "He wants to meet you and discuss a possible job opportunity."

"Really?" I questioned not really believing what I was hearing.

"Yes! We have been searching for a magician to teach us the art and when I told him about you and what you did for me, he asked me to tell you. He said it takes the most powerful of magicians to heal someone the way you healed my arm," she could go on and on forever with the excitement that she had built up, but Lesley placed a hand on her shoulder to silence her.

"I was also just about to offer Tommy a place to stay," Lesley relayed to her daughter, "At least while he sorts things out."

"If that is okay with you," I asked Tori knowing full well that Lesley was in on it.

"I would love to have you stay with us!" She squealed with delight as she gave me a hug almost knocking me over the side of the bed.

"I hope you don't mind that I have my parents staying with us as well," Lesley asked in assurance.

"I would be honored to meet them," I replied.

"Yea!" Tori cheered.

"And Tori, if you could let you professor know that I am interested I can come with you to school to answer any questions that he might have," I said making sure that she could relay the message.

"Most definitely, I will tell him!" She squealed again, "And since you are staying with us, you have got to teach me some of the magic abilities you know."

"That's a deal," I said smiling for the first time in a long time.

"Alright little missy," Lesley chuckled, "If you are ready to head home, we can help Tommy with his things and then we will be off."

"Yea!" She exclaimed again as she ran out the door followed by Lesley who soon disappeared as she was giving more instructions to her fleeing daughter.

I quickly conjured up a duffel bag full of some clothes. I then unzipped the bag and carefully placed to book on the very top.

"Are you coming?" Lesley asked through the open door.

"Yes," I answered, "I am."

Hope you liked this chapter! PLEASE review and tell me.

Also I would like to know if my first person POV and jumping around from character to character is annoying anyone, because if it is, I will do everything in my power to change it. Anyway, I can't wait for Thor the Dark World which is kind of an inspiration. I can't wait for it to come out and I only have a week and a half too long to wait! Once again if you like my story please let me know by reviewing or following or even favoriting the story! And also I am SO SORRY that I took a long time to post this chapter! I have been so busy with school and other things it's been CRAZY! College has been proving to be much more of a demand that high school was. I then had a case of writer's block so I had to put this chapter on a little hiatus so that I could think it through. Hope you enjoy it though!
