"L"
Scott and Kurt walked down the hall of the Xavier Intitute for gifted youngsters.
"So," Scott started, "You ready for school?" Kurt shook his head, his blue hair falling onto his face. He brushed it aside.
"Summer was way to short!"
"I know! And I-" Scott was inturrupted by a mind call from the professor. "you hearthat Kurt?" Scott asked.
"Yeah. All inners to the office. I wonder what that's about." The two walked down the corridors to a pair of huge doors. They both walked in, to be greeted by Professor Xavier, Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Ororo Monroe, Hank McKoy, Evan Daniels, Logan, and Rogue.
"What's up professor?" Kitty asked. The professor grinned.
"We have a new student." Xavier said slowly. They all looked around until they saw a dark figure behind a plant. It was hooded. Why anyone would wear a hood in this hot weather was a mystery.
"Ellanor, please step forward."
"Don't worry. Your among friends here." Ororo said quietly. The girl removed her hood. Whe looked, well, normal. She looked like a normal girl, with dark brown ahir and freckles.
"This is Ellanor McKay. The newest member of the inner group of X-men after passing the examinations."
"I thought everyone took exams to enter," Kitty said, "Just to make sure they were for real."
"That is true, but I felt compelled to give her the further examinations. And the passed them all with flying colors." At this comment, all the students stared at her. You only had to pass 6 out of the 10 exams, and even that in itself was hard to accomplish. Spyke scratched his head.
"So, Ellanor, what's your power?" Ellanor looked nervously at the professor, who nodded reasuringly.
"I... I control water. I can... can conjure it up out of nowhere, in any shape, form, or temperature." She stammered. Jean smiled.
"Well Ella," she paused for a moment, "Is it alright if I call you Ella?" Ellanor nodded, weakly smiling back.
"Ella, Ellanor, Ell, it's all fine with me."
"Well,if you have any stuff, we can bring it down to my room. That is if you dont mind being my room mate."
"Alright... I would liike that." She bent down to pick up a small luggage and a backpack, but they floated up and out of the room. Ella stared at the bags, then at Jean, who giggled and pointed towards the bags.
"Go ahead and follow them. They'll show you to your room. Ella followed them, then the rest of the inners filed out. Scott and Jean were the last two in the room. The professor stopped them.
"Jean, thank you. She has been through a lot."
"I know. She just needs some friends." Jean nodded and headed out the door. Scott shrugged and followed Jean out to the corridor.
"So you know her backround?" Scott asked Jean, who nodded slowly.
"She... I shouldnt tell you. Its her story to tell. But I will tell you one thing. She was an experimantal." Scott stopped.
"You mean like Logan?" Jean nodded.
"I think Logan and Ella will become friends. Actually, maybe they will have that whole older brother type of friend, like Logan is to Kitty." They walked towards Ella's room thinking.
