"A Song in an Echo"
A/N: I was sitting around, thinking how much I like X-Men, and decided to write this. Yup. It really was *that* easy. The only problem you might have with it is that it's not in any part of the series. Um, that's mostly because I haven't seen the entire third season, so...bear with me. R&R.
DISCLAIMER: You know the drill. I didn't create any of these characters, except for Jacqueline Montclair. But hey, if they want, Marvel and the WB can have her too! (I wouldn't mind, teehee!)
Chapter 1: The Plan and the Arrival
"The silver one has made her way here from France," Irene says, he head low and she and the metamorph Mystique sit in the dark limo. Outside a thunderstorm brews and shakes the sky.
"Will she go to Xavier?"
"Yes, and ask for his help as well."
The thunder roars after a horrific lightning cracks.
"Are you sure this is wise?" Irene asks. "She knows Xavier; it would be harder to convince her of our intentions after she speaks with him."
"As long as she doesn't see me in my true form, I believe it will be fairly easy to win her over. Remember, America can be very hostile to mutants; think of how a foreign one like Silver would feel."
Irene's eyes behind the sunglasses twinge. "Xavier will make her feel welcomed. I suspect she will stay with him at the Mansion."
"Well, we're going to have to prove that it's not all that it's cracked up to be, won't we?"
3.5 miles away...
Jacqueline found the rain annoying. It pelted down on her like soft pebbles, cold to the touch. The short tumbling of thunder died away to the horizon, and now she stood in front of the giant gates of Xavier's mansion. The plaque on it read: "Charles Xavier Manor".
A camera watches her...
Logan growls defensively, watching the monitor screen. Who was this stranger at the gates? Ever since the brats from Bayville High School came and obstructed Xavier's property, the Wolverine never trusted any unexpected visitors quite the same again.
"Hey," He calls to the Cyclops, who was passing the control room. He came in, wearing the uniform of the X-Men - probably on his way to training to some new recruits in the Danger Room. "You recognize her?"
Scott shook his head, staring at the screen Logan motioned toward."No, but maybe the Professor would."
"Yes, I do," Professor Xavier rolled into the room, followed by the uniformed Jean. "Her name is Jacqueline Montclair. She comes from France, and I knew she'd be coming. But not this soon."
"How do you know her, Professor?" Jean asked.
"Her skin is abnormal, like Kurt's, you see, and her grandfather requested a holographic inducer from me to cover her safely. I haven't seen Jacqueline in, oh, almost 20 years."
Logan crossed his arms. "So what is she doing here?"
"I don't know yet." He rolled out, Jacqueline looking around aimlessly on the monitor screen.
A/N: Yeah, I know it was short. But I want to write a lot of chapters instead of three or four HUGE ones that I know some writers do. R&R.
