DISCLAIMER: I do not own X-men, and stuff. Now to continue! Also, I'll be representing telepathic speech by doing this * right here* ok?
"Well, yes. I remember the fight quite well." I said cautiously. –Here we go again, - I thought. Today was definitely NOT my day. I watched her out of the corner of my eye, waiting for her to continue.
"Well, I heard from Jean that you were, like, seriously hurt." She said. I nodded. –I hate you Jean! – I thought bitterly. – Just what I need. I wonder how many more people know about what I can do. I guess I could ask Ellie to move to the next state…-
"Well, you see, I'm part of a special group of people who have powers similar to yours. We all live together with Professor Xavier, who manages all of us. He just found out yesterday of what you were, like, capable of doing. And so, he, like, asked me to see if you'd like to join our little group-"
"If you're saying what I think you're saying," I interrupted. She opened her eyes wide, and nodded her head. I'm pretty sure she thought I was going to say yes. "Then my answer is no. I really don't want to be a part of your group, and that Mystique needs to stop asking me." She gave me an odd look, and said, "I'm not part of Mystique's group. I'm a part of a totally cooler group. She's, like, one of our worst enemy's."
I looked at her, trying to see if she was lying. "I'll need some time. To think about it, you know." I said. She brightened up immediately, and gushed, "Oh great! How about tomorrow you come over and check out the Institute. I'm sure you'll love it!" I grinned, thinking –what have I gotten myself into. –
I anticipated going to the Institute the next day. I was happy to know that there were others out there like me. I was practically out of the door as soon as the bell rang. I walked as calmly as I could to the red convertible, and waited impatiently for Kitty to get her butt over here. I spotted her and ran over to her as soon as she left the doors. "Come on, lets get this show on the road," I whispered in her ear, pulling her along. She gave me a look, and hopped in the car. I fidgeted all the way over there. I didn't pay attention to anyone; I was so buried in my own thoughts. I let out a sigh of relief when we finally pulled up in front of the mansion. I tried to keep my mouth shut when we went inside, cause I knew if I left it open, I might start to drool. I was almost afraid to walk in this place, it looked so expensive, and the others were bouncing around like it was no biggie! I couldn't help turning in circles, admiring all the stuff in here, and doing so, I almost bumped into a man in a wheelchair. I blushed slightly, and smiled, trying to cover up my clumsiness. "Hello, there. My name is Charles Xavier." he greeted me. "Hi, I'm- Well I guess you already know my name." I said stupidly. I rolled my eyes inside at the way I was acting. I was worse than Kitty! I straightened up, mentally and physically, and turned proud eyes on to him. *Much better Andrea. * I turned from left to right, trying to figure out who was talking to me. It couldn't be Professor Xavier talking. His lips never moved. *Are you sure it wasn't me, Andrea? * I heard again. I turned wide eyes on to him. He smiled, and turned his wheelchair around. I figured he wanted me to follow him, so I did.
"This is the Xavier Institute, where young mutants are taught how to use and contain their powers. I'm sure when you were growing up, you thought that you were the only one like you. You were the only one with the unique gift of healing yourself and others. But there are others out there. Not all have your power, no, but some do. Logan, one of the adult mutants who help me train younger mutants, has a gift almost like yours. He is able to heal himself from almost any wound. His healing process isn't as quick as yours is, and he can only heal himself, not others. As I showed you, I have telepathic abilities. I can read others minds, as well as control their body's movements. Kitty's power is also very useful. She can go through solid objects, such as walls. She is also able to enter machinery and disable them, if the need be." We walked into what he called the Danger Room, where the mutants trained and toned their powers. We watched them, Professor Xavier explaining all of their abilities. I watched Scott slice through a machine using his eye laser thingie. Kitty whizzed through the machines, screwing them up. I noticed a blue fuzzy guy disappearing into smoke, and then appearing in a totally different spot. "Who's that?" I asked Prof. Xavier. I pointed to the blue elf looking guy, and he said, "That is Kurt, in his original form." I turned to face him. "That's Kurt?!" I exclaimed. "Yes. The Kurt that you see every day at school is actually a hologram. The Kurt you see now is his actual body." He explained. I turned back to the window. –I always thought something was odd about him. I just couldn't put my finger on it, - I thought. *No matter what he looks like, though, he is the same person with the same personality. He just looks different* he explained in my mind.
I watched them for a while, before telling the professor that I needed to get home. I had promised Ellie that I would be home by four, and wasn't breaking that promise. I said good-bye to everyone over the intercom (which was kinda fun. I don't think they knew I was watching them) and headed out to Scott's car. The professor had asked him to take me home, and I was there in less than 10 minutes.
R&R please! I am open to any suggestions that will make it better, bye for now!
