Mysterious Mutant Breaker-and-Enterer (not a thief--what's he or she
actually taken???) POV. Hey, come to think of it, what's to say she/he
broke anything, anyway?
-------------------------------------
I perched myself against a tree, watching the mansion. I was too far away to be able to see anything, but even from where I was I could tell they prided themselves on their security. The big metal gates. When I'd been closer, I'd seen a fingerprint scanner. I don't know who they thought they were keeping out. Perhaps the humans? They wouldn't be interested anyway, not in "Xavier's School For the Gifted".
It was cold. Too cold, even for me. I'd seen three girls huddled around the entrance early in the day, shivering. I hadn't been cold then, but it was getting dark now. They'd never be able to see me, even if I was closer. But there wasn't any point, nothing to see, so I slid down onto the ground and sat there.
When I'd heard about the place, I'd laughed. It was only a rumour. But a rumour of a school for mutants? I hadn't believed it. But I'd found the place. And now what?
I stared at my hands in a bored way. So I'd found people like me, finally. If that's what they were. I'd been inside, tried to be certain that they were, that they'd been friendly to someone like me. But I hadn't found anything. I'd have another try, but I wasn't so keen on being caught. I'd seen the man hanging around the place. The hairy one, with sideburns. He looked, from my spot some distance away, in his thirties. But if he was a mutant (and I assumed he was), that didn't mean anything. And he looked dangerous.
I was tempted to knock on the door. Go inside. Find this Xavier man, and speak to him. But I knew what would happen. The same thing that happens where ever I go.
Fear. Terror. Doors slammed in my face. Threats. You might think you'll get used to it, but you won't. Not ever. You just want to be like them, but you're not. I was going to have to try, although I don't know that I could ever fit in with anyone, not even with mutants.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay then, X-fans, what do you think? Who is it? (For a bonus point, how did they get inside the school?) I've just come up with some really good plots for future chapters. But a quick poll: should I set Bobby up with anyone else, and if so, who??? It can be someone not yet involved in the story in any way, or not in the movie.
