Rebecca was slowly starting to adjust to living at the Xavier Institute and was managing to keep up with her studies as a student, However the next day when Rebecca was about to make her way to class, she opened up the door of her room and looked up in shock as a bucket that had been placed over her door fell down onto her and emptied its contents of ice cold water on her. and she could hear some of the students laughing to themselves as she removed the bucket from her head and took a deep breath as she thought to herself, "It's ok Rebecca, you're the new girl, they'll get bored of it eventually."

She shivered a little after having the ice cold water emptied on her and some of her now damp crimson hair matted against her face, she wasn't amused by the situation she found herself in but she took a deep breath and continued walking down the hallway towards class, but things only seemed to get worse for Rebecca as one of the students stuck out their foot causing her to trip over it and stumbled before falling down the stairs and all she could do was call out, "Look out!" as she fell.

Some of the students who noticed Rebecca moved out of the way, before she crashed into a girl who had brunette hair that had a white streak going through it and both girls tumbled down the stairs until they reached the bottom. Rebecca then slowly opened her eyes, before her eyes then widened a little as she realised she had her lips pressed against the girl she crashed into when she fell down the stairs and her cheeks flushed a little in embarrassment before she finally asked the girl, "Are ya alright lass?"

And the girl underneath Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her head a little as she replied with a southern accent, "Yeah, I'm ok. But be careful about who you bump into next time." before she then added, "Name's Rogue by the way." and Rebecca smiled as she said,

"I wish we could've met under better circumstances lass, but nice to meet ya all the same, I'm Rebecca. but ya can call me Becca as I prefer to be called that."

Rogue then slowly got back to her feet and offered to help Rebecca up, before she grabbed her head in pain and her hazel colour eyes started to flicker a violet colour as she said, "What is happening to me?" before she suddenly ran off leaving Rebecca by herself at the bottom of the stairs. Rebecca then tried to push herself back onto her feet again as she said to herself,

"I better hurry to class before I am late."

but her own eyes began flickering a violet colour and she felt a surge of energy in her body trying to release itself, so she ran into the courtyard and dropped to her knees as her body released the energy inside her and Rebecca put her hands on the ground in front of her as her breathing was a little heavy as she thought to herself, "What the hell is happening to me? Me powers have never acted like this before. If I stay here in the state I'm in now, I'll only put the other students in danger." and as she felt another surge of energy building up in her body, Rebecca ran as fast as she could away from the school and to the one place she felt safe, the Thorn nightclub.

Later…

Rebecca stood in front of what was left of the Thorn, its doors were blown off their hinges and parts of the neon sign above the doors had stopped working, she took a deep breath before walking inside and walked among the rubble that was still left from her brawl with Scarlet Witch and she let out a deep sigh as she thought to herself, "To think I used to call this home once…"

She continued walking until she found the bar and she also noticed a jacket with a familiar symbol on the back that was slightly torn in places laying over the counter, Rebecca picked up the jacket and sighed as a tear fell from her eyes as she said to herself, "Where are ya lads and lasses? We were family, or at least I thought of the lot of ya as family." before she then put the jacket back down on the counter again and made her way behind the counter.

Before she then picked up a glass and placed it on the counter, before then grabbing a bottle of whiskey from the shelf behind her, her eyes kept flickering from their normal colour to a violet colour and she shook her head a couple of times before opening the bottle and pouring some of its contents into the glass. Rebecca then picked up the glass in her hand and swirled it around a few times as her mind went back to the incident that led her to come here and thought to herself, "Am I attracted to men? Am I attracted to women? Hell, am I attracted to both? I'm so confused and my powers have gone haywire since I fell into that Rogue lass."

Rebecca then went to take a sip of the whiskey she poured herself, before she heard a voice as it said, "Should a young lady like you be drinking?" and Rebecca placed the glass on the counter again as she looked around the dimly lit room as she replied,

"Maybe. Maybe not, but if ya don't show ya self to me right now, I'll make this place look worse than it already does to find ya!"

The person then stepped out from the shadows and into the dim light as they held their hands up defensively as they said, "Ok, there's no need to go that far." and Rebecca recognised the black corset on the woman complete with a red jacket, she also wore some black boots similar to her and her nails were painted black as well, Rebecca also noticed the woman had a slight accent to her voice which she also recognised, before she scowled at the woman and said,

"I remember you lass, yer name's Wanda right? ya were looking for a lass named Agatha last time. Did ya come here for round two or something?"

The Sokovian then sat down on one of the stalls by the bar and leaned on the counter as she replied, "Relax, I didn't come here for a fight, Stark sent me to investigate a massive energy spike, you wouldn't happen to know the cause of it would you?" and Rebecca's expression softened a little as she took a good look at the Sokovian sitting in front of her and taking in most of her features, before she blushed a little as she said,

"A massive energy spike ya say? Well, if yer looking for the cause of it, then look no further lass, as I'm the cause of it. My powers have been acting up ever since I fell into that Rogue lass."

Wanda then looked a little surprised at Rebecca as she replied, her slightly broken english was obvious in her voice, "Powers? You're like me then? A Mutant? And you're saying you are the source of the massive energy spike Stark was geting?" and Rebecca took a sip of her glass of whiskey before she looked back at the Sokovian as she said slightly annoyed,

"Didn't ya hear me the first time? I said I'm the source of ya energy spike yer looking for. So what now? Ya gonna turn me into S.H.I.E.L.D or something? That is what you folks do right? Stop bad people like me and hand them over to S.H.I.E.L.D?"

The Sokovian shook her head as she smiled slightly and replied, "No, I'm not here to stop you, you're not a bad girl. I was just sent to help Stark find out what the source of the energy spike was. Now I have that information for Stark, so my mission is complete." Rebecca then looked slightly confused at the Sokovian sitting in front of her as she asked,

"If ya got what ya came for, then why are ya hanging around here for lass? Don't ya have to report back to this Stark fella?"

Wanda then smiled at Rebecca as she said, "I will tell Stark what I've found, but...you interest me, your accent, your not from America?" and Rebecca then smiled back at the Sokovian as she shook her head and replied after taking another sip from her glass,

"No, I'm not from America, not originally. I was born and raised in Ireland, my family moved here when me parents got a important job at Stark industries. But...they were murdered in an attack at Stark industries and...with no other family members close enough for me to go to I was sent to an Orphanage." before she then added, "And yes...I am a Mutant like you, I'm not sure when or how long me powers have been active for. What I do know is that I used to call this...home, but now I'm with the Xavier Institute."

Just then Logan joined the pair in what was left of the club, before his nose twitched as he noticed the Sokovian sitting at the bar in front of Rebecca and scowled as he revealed his Adamantium claws and growled, "You've got ten seconds to back away from Rebecca, or I'm gonna tear you to pieces!" and both Wanda and Rebecca looked shocked before Rebecca said to Logan,

"Logan? What are ya doing here? And Wanda isn't trying to hurt me. so can we all just relax a little, please?"

Logan then retracted his claws before he looked at Rebecca as he said, "You didn't show up to class, and Charles sent me to look for you because he thought you might be in trouble. Turns out I was half right at least." and Rebecca frowned a little at Logan and brushed some of her hair out of her face as she replied,

"I wasn't trying to skip class Logan, I was tripped and I fell into a lass called Rogue and then my powers started going out of control, so...I came here because I was afraid of hurting the other students like I did with Scott."

Then Logan took a deep breath before he said, "Well, at least I know you weren't causing any trouble or trying to skip class, why don't we get you back to the Institute now? The others are worried sick about you." and Rebecca finished her glass of whiskey before she smiled a little at Logan as she replied,

"Yeah, that sounds like a grand idea Logan, especially since my powers feel a little more stable than before."

Before she then turned her attention to Wanda as she said to her, "I gues this is where we go our separate ways for now lass, maybe we will meet each again sometime." and Wanda smiled and gave Rebecca a kiss on her cheek causing her to blush a little before she replied,

"Maybe we will meet again some other time, for now I report my findings to Stark. What's your name?"

And Rebecca smiled at Wanda as she said, "It's Rebecca, but I prefer to be called Becca or Bex." before they then parted ways as Rebecca left the nightclub with Logan on his bike as they drove back towards the Xavier Institute.

That evening…

When Logan returned to the Institute with Rebecca on his bike, Jean ran out towards them along with Scott as she gave Rebecca a hug as she said, "Oh Rebecca, I'm so glad you're ok. When the Professor said you had gone missing we were worried about you." and Rebecca was a little shocked by the sudden action before she then slowly returned the hug and smiled as she replied,

"I'm sorry I caused ya to worry about me lass, I just...needed to get my head straight and I didn't wanna put ye or the others in danger." before she then let out a small giggle as she added, "Though I get the feeling I'm gonna be grounded, after what I pulled today."

Charles Xavier then rolled up to Rebecca in his wheelchair with a smile on his face before he said to her, "Such punishment won't be necessary Rebecca. I understand your reason for leaving and we are all just happy you are back with us in one piece. Though you do have homework to be handed in this week, I think that is punishment enough." and Jean smiled at Rebecca before she took her hand into her own as she said to her,

"Why don't we go upstairs to your room and we can talk?"

Rebecca then smiled at Jean and nodded her head as she replied, "Yeah, I...I'd like that." before she was then lead to her room by Jean, when they got to her room Rebecca opened the door and walked inside as Jean followed behind her before they sat down on her bed together before Jean looked at Rebecca as she said,

"So, what's on your mind Becca? You can talk to me about anything that maybe troubling you."

And Rebecca took a deep breath before she looked at Jean and replied, "Well, here goes I guess, on my way to class today I was tripped by another student and I fell into a lass who said her name was Rogue. only when I fell into her, our lips were pressed together and then after I asked her if she was alright, she started freaking out and ran away and that's when I felt my powers were going out of control and I ran away to the nightclub I used to hang out at and where I first met Logan when he offered me to join the Institute. but the thing I don't quite understand is that when I inadvertently kissed Rogue, I kinda liked it. But I also saw that Sokovian lass again today as well and...I can't seem to stop thinking about her."

Jean then took a minute to process what Rebecca told her, before she looked at Rebecca as she replied, "Well Becca, from what I understand from what you've told me, I think you might be experiencing love. Possibly towards Rogue but maybe more towards this Sokovian person you keep seeing." and Rebecca looked a little shocked at Jean as her eyes widened a little as she said,

"Y-you think I might have a crush on Rogue or the Sokovian lass? Maybe...I do trust ya Jean, but I think I need time to figure this out on my own and how to handle it."

And Jean nodded her head and smiled as she replied, "Very well, I understand that Becca. But...you're not alone in this, and you can always ask me for help or advice. I'll let you get some rest for now as you must be tired."

Meanwhile in Xavier's office…

Logan was standing in Charles Xavier's office when he said, "I found the kid at the same nightclub she was at when I extended your offer to her, chuck. But was strange was that the Sokovian the kid mentioned before and apparently tangled with before was also there." and Charles had a concerned look on his face as he replied,

"Well, do you suspect that this Sokovian Rebecca mentioned has her under some sort of spell friend?"

And Logan shook his head as he said, "It didn't look like she had the kid under any sort of spell or control, but she mentioned someone to the kid. said their name was Stark." Xavier then looked out the window of his office with a concerned look as he replied,

"If Mr. Stark is involved then that could mean trouble for us Logan. For now though I want you to keep an eye on Rebecca, I don't sense anything out of the ordinary with her, but in times like these one can never be too sure."

Logan then let out a sigh as he said, "You want me to babysit the kid? If anything I should be paying Stark a visit and ask him to stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Not sitting around here making sure the kid isn't acting strange." and Xavier then looked at Logan as he shook his head and replied,

"Given what happens when you usually...pay someone a visit, I'd like to avoid conflict wherever possible, friend. Which is why I shall be arranging a meeting with Mr. Stark himself, and hopefully come to a peaceful agreement on this matter. However, I am prepared for if Mr. Stark sees my actions as hostile."
