*DISCLAMER*---I do not own any part of the x-men, or any of the charaters except Eco ---

*Flash Back*

"Eco!!" her father yelled.
"Yes father?"
"You are no longer welcome in this house, we have tried to hide your secret since the day you were born, and we refuse to go on like this, you are a freak, and nothing but a disgrace to this family, pack your things and be gone. Your mother and I will give you enough fair for a one way trip to America, and that is where you shall remain. You are not to make any sort of contact with us, we from now on do not acknowledge your existence. Do I make myself clear?"
Salty tears stream down Eco's face as she softly mumbles, "Ye..yes s.sir."

*Present Day*

Eco slides tensely into the taxi.
"Where ya headed kid?" the driver asks.
"I...I'm not s..sure" Eco replies choking back tears, trying not to think of her family which had pushed her away at the time she needed them most.
"Well kid I sure as hell can't read ur mind." exclaims the driver after a moment of silence.
*Come to me my child, I can help.* whispers a gentle, soft spoken, male voice with a bit of an accent, she thinks but its too distant to tell.
Eco looks around, expecting to see someone, but the only person insight is the chunky faced taxi driver, who was looking a bit annoyed.
* Xavier's School For the Gifted*
"Xavier's School for the Gifted." Eco blurts out.
"About damn time, kid."
