A/N: In retrospect of the reviews I've read I will clarify a few points. One hopefully neither of the characters will turn into perfect people (hence no Mary Sues). Second as for Alan's powers, like his codename "Serge" says he can you powerful bursts of his abilities but he can't pull a stunt like holding a person in midair like Jean, his abilities work more along the lines of instinct and impulse.



Lily was lead into what appeared to be a common room with a goth looking teen reading what appeared to be an Anne Rice novel, a girl who looked way to perky for her own good reading what looked like a school book, why would she read one of those during the summer? (A/N I made it summer so it would make my life a heck of a lot easier) And two boys were sitting down watching television, one with dark skin and blonde hair and the other had dirty-blonde hair and looked very cool (A/N pun intended). "Rogue, Kitty, Evan, and Bobby I would like you to meet Lily Belle she will be staying with us for a while," Xavier said as each greeted her before returning to their previous activities. At that moment a couple walked in the house (A/N that's right I made them a couple) the boy had on a pair of red sunglasses and the girl whose hand he was holding had red hair and just seemed to perfect. Xavier turned and greeted them, "Scott and Jean I would like you to meet our guest Lily." Scott held out his free hand and she took it as a friendly gesture, this couple is just so cute, she thought disgusted. "Why thank you," Jean said recognizing the shock on her face, "I'm a telepath sorry didn't mean to read you thoughts." Lily scowled but decided not to get mad about it, "It's okay, you just sorta took me by surprise." Jean laughed, "I still tend to pick up stray thoughts of others don't worry I don't mean too." "I won't," Lily said as she and Scott walked off to go 'discuss' something. (A/N guess what I mean)

The Professor had Kitty show her to her room. "This is, like, where you will be staying don't expect a roommate," Kitty said as she showed her to her room. "I'll, like leave you to get unpacked," she said as she phased back through the door. Lily not exactly being given a lot of time to pack resulted in her having very little extra clothing, enough for a week tops, oh well I guess I'll see if any of these girls like to go shopping, she thought with a shrug. Her thoughts turned back toward Bobby or Iceman he was cute though he seemed a bit young for her. She headed out of her room and saw an Asian looking girl in a navy blue jumpsuit walking down the hall, now that is strange, "Excuse me where are you going?" "You must be Lily I'm Jubilation Lee but everyone here calls me Jubilee and as for where I am going I'm heading to the Danger Room," she said simply as she started towards her destination again. "Mind if I follow and see this 'Danger Room'?" Lily asked. "I don't mind follow me," Jubilee stated as they began to walk towards an elevator hidden in the wall, weird.

When they reached the danger room it was something else she watched from observation as Jubilee, Iceman, and Shadowcat, I'm glad I remembered their code names, she though as she watched the event going on down below. A tentacle extended and attempted to grab at Jubilee when all of a sudden fireworks exploded from her hands disabling the tentacle easily. Next up she watched as Iceman froze three laser cannons that decided he was a good target. And last she watched as Shadowcat disabled the rest of the systems by phasing through them and pulling wires. That looks easy enough, Professor Xavier chuckled "Would you like to try out the danger room?" "Sure," Lily stated simply. "Very well, we will see your gifts in action against Wolverine." (A/N how many saw that coming? And no in no way, shape, or form will Lily and Logan get together) Xavier handed her a gi and told her that she could change in the woman's locker room. Well if he handed me a gi it must be a martial arts fight, this ought to be simple considering I was raised doing this stuff. When she entered the floor she noticed that it had been changed to match the inside of a dojo, and then she saw her opponent it was the man that picked her up at the train station. He was well built, but that could and hopefully will be used against him.

(A/N for the sake of argument assume that Lily's claws can't be broken) They both took up their respective positions and bowed to each other, you could see that he hadn't expected her to know that formal way to start a match. They both took stance (A/N it has been forever since I've seen any real form of martial arts so don't expect me to use the proper terms) and began to circle each other examining the foes strengths and weaknesses.

Lily moved quickly as you could see on Wolverine's face as she charged him. Immediately attacking with a basic punched that Wolverine blocked easily, though it gave Lily a chance to pull a simple move on him that landed two blows on his chest and a kick to his side. That was the last shot she managed to get on him. They both fought hard though neither gave the other the satisfaction of a blow landed. Then all of sudden something that Lily hadn't expected as Wolverine extended his adamantium claws. Two can play this game, and let her own claws extend, which gave her another satisfying sight as she saw Wolverine not expecting it. They both moved and used their claws with practiced ease neither one actually landing a slash on the opponent. Lily knew that the fight had lasted well over an hour and that she wouldn't be able to keep it up for much longer. Then, it happened her concentration broke and she felt a foot land in her stomach. Damn, she thought right before she fell to the mat winded. "You did good kid," Logan said as he walked over and helped her up, "I never in my life expected to see a natural set of claws on a mutant." She was just grateful that she held her own against someone of such obvious ability at a stand still for an hour. "Thanks," was all she managed to get out while she was gasping for air.

She decided against asking anyone about the mall today, since she just wanted to put her head down and rest. I wonder where Alan is and how he is doing? Then a knock at her door and Kitty's head phasing through, "Supper's ready."

A/N You'll have to excuse me in later chapters when I start speaking for Kurt and Rogue I'm not that good with accent writing like some. And yes I know it's unrealistic that anyone besides Sabertooth could last over an hour against Wolverine. Imagine that he was going easy on her right up until he extended his claws.
