Author's Notes: I'm trying to figure out what Marie's handle should be, but more on her and the other boy will be written. This was an odd dream I had. o.0

Displacement by Taima
Marie Ketsurui had only been at Xavier's School for under a month but she had already managed to make herself the focus of many of the instructors' attention. Marie was a quiet girl and she had made no effort to become a member of the student body, the adopted family. She had no friends within or without the school as far as anyone knew...
"Why did you lie to me about going on the class field trip? You told me that you were now getting along with the others and you were trying to make friends now. Why would you lie to me about this Marie?" Jean looked over the girl with a hurt look in her eyes as she tried to reach into her mind as well.
Marie was an odd one, her mind was so jumbled together and irradic. It was difficult to discern her thoughts from her memories. Jean believed that it had something to do with her power- not many people even knew what her power was. Professor X had said that it was similar to Kurt's but that still wasn't enough to satisfy her curiousity.
Marie looked at Jean with a sad smile, knowing that the telepath couldn't even begin to understand her or her ability. The other students had started to say that she didn't really have any powers and she was just pretending somehow. The other students all had someone that they could go to for support, frindship, all had come from some sort of family but not Marie. She saw images of a family in every students room, be it other students or relatives of some sort. She didn't have anyone or anything. It was even rare for her to sleep in her assigned room at night- she had spent many nights alone on the roof of the mansion no matter what the weather was. She had isolated herself from everyone and anyone for so long, she didn't know how to let anyone else in. And here was this teacher trying to enter her life and her mind to better understand her. So far, only Professor X had managed to talk her into staying here.
"Mrs. Summers... you don't understand. Please just try to trust me, I lied to you because I didn't want you to worry about me. I am invisible to the others because they chose not to see me. I am alone because I simply am." Marie spoke clearly as she turned to walk away and to her next class, she still had things to do today. Jean frowned at the girl's words, she had heard the thoughts of the others concerning the new student and se wasn't happy with the end result, so far none of the students trusted or wanted to get know Marie. Jean watched the girl walk away and she wanted to stop her and hold her close.. but as she reached for Marie the girl simply... disappeared.
Professor Xavier had sensed the girl before she appeared in his office. Marie was a mystery that yearned to be solved. "Hello Marie, I take it that your talk with Mrs. Summers did not go well?"
Marie smiled softly at the Professor, she had a certain fondness for the instructor. "She doesn't understand. The others don't even want to believe I have any powers what so ever. Professor, I really do not feel like I belong here."
Xavier frowned at the girl's words, there was some truth in it, the others didn't understand but he knew Marie was also pushing everyone away. "Marie.. why won't you let yourself get close to them?"
"Because, I am alone. And I will always be alone. I don't like the fact that I can displace myself but, I have a better understanding of what my power is." Marie took a seat in the empty chair beside the professor.
"You're scared by the fact that you can teleport?"
"There's more to it than the teleportation professor. I can do much more than teleport.. I can.." Marie stopped for a moment and stood up.. she started to float off the floor and she levatated up to the ceiling. "I can do this and.. I think I can do much more than this." Marie let herself land on the floor again before she retook her seat. "I think I can form a shield around myself... I don't know. I have been practicing at night but I still don't quite understand it all.."
The professor looked at her oddly. The girl was getting more comfortable with her powers and he could sense that the tensions between her and the other students were rising. "Marie, please try to let someone in. You need to make friends, being alone through this is only going to make this harder for you."
"Don't worry professor.. I will find my happiness but it will be alone in the darkness." Marie smiled again before she disappeared, leaving the professor to wonder what she was going to do next.
Later that evening, Marie had decided to walk to her assigned room. She heard everyone talking as she walked through the crowded hallway, pushing past them all. A boy, taller than the others moved to block her way. "Hey, I heard you can displace people."
"Please move out of my way."
"Come on, show me what you got- Displace me." The boy egged Marie on, pushing her backwards into the others who caught Marie and pushed her back towards him. Marie looked at the boy for a moment and shook her head.
"Stop being an idiot. I am not going to fight you or anyone else." She tried to push past him again and he grabbed her arm.
"Are you scared that everyone will see that you have no powers?"
Marie stared at the boy and shook her head again. "Blantant abuse of your powers only shows others that you are weak and you need to prove that you something when you are really a pathetic loser. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to my room." Marie pushed the boy aside more successfully this time as she finally managed to go through the open door.
The boy followed her into the room and grabbed her as he slammed the door shut behind him. "Let go of me." Marie's voice trembled, she had never been in this type of situation before.
"Now it's just the two of us. Come on, let's make this fun." The boy's voice was soft and for a moment there was no words, no sounds other than their own breathing within the room. The stillness became a tangible thing and the weight of it threatened to flatten both of the occupants of the room. Marie closed her eyes, she felt something rising up within her. She heard those words again. 'Displace me.' The boy still held her in a bear hug as her breathing stopped.
'Displace me.' The boy started to panic, the girl wasn't breathing now, and he let her go. What was he going to do if the instructors found out that he had knocked out another student again? Marie's body didn't fall, it disappeared. The boy stared in amazement. "Where did she go?" He stood dumbfounded as he stared at the spot where Marie had been.
'Displace me..' Marie reappeared behind the boy, she was sitting on the ceiling now. What was she to do with this boy who had demanded that she exercise her power on him? All she wanted was for the boy to just go away and leave her alone. All she wanted was to be left alone.. and now... "Go away." Her eyes were on the boy as he turned to stare up at her. He started to say something but found himself thrown back through the door to the room and into the hallway.
Marie landed on the floor again and she looked through the hole in the door at the bleeding boy in the hallway. She could hear somone shout for an instructor and she knew that she had to get away. "They'll leave me alone now.."
To be continued..
