(A/N: How'd ya like my first chapter? Please e-mail me feedback and comments! Oh and all the big paragraphs in the last chap, that wasn't my fault. FanFiction.net did something to it. sorry about it though! )

Spark woke up to sunlight. It had been three months since she'd moved in and she already felt at home. She sat up. The two of the other three beds were empty, which surprised her. It was Saturday and only 10:00 am. She changed into some clean clothes and went downstairs. (A/N: Kitty is Shadowcat)

Spark went into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of cereal. She poured milk over her Coco Puffs and grabbed a spoon. She started munching as Professor X, Logan, Storm, Cyclops, Rouge, and Bobby entered. She was hunched over her bowl and looked embarrassed. "Should I leave?" she asked with a mouth full of Coco Puffs.

"No, not at all. We've been looking for you," said the professor. "You have?" came her confused answer. "What do you need me for?"
"We want to send you with Storm and Cyclops to go find runaway mutant. He's your age, so we want to send some teenage mutants to go talk to him.
"Oh, okay. No problem. Is everyone here coming?"
"Yes, Storm and Cyclops and Logan are going with you in case anything goes wrong. Bobby and Rouge are going to talk to him, too."

Spark finished her cereal and put her dish and spoon in the sink. "What's his name and his mutation?"
Without blinking the professor said, "He has superhuman abilities. Namely, super strength and speed. And his name is Jake."
"So he's like Superman?" butted in Bobby, from a corner.
"In a matter of speaking, yes," came Professor Xavier's reply.

"Rock on! That's awesome!" Spark almost shouted. "Yes, I'm sure," Professor X replied, amused. "When do we leave?" asked Rouge. "Now," said Storm. "The professor already gave us the coordinates to where he is. Let's go get in the jet," said Cyclops from the doorway. He turned to go to the hangar. Storm glanced at the professor, who nodded, and then she turned to follow Cyclops. Spark looked uncertainly at Rouge and Bobby, then followed Storm and Cyclops. Rouge and Bobby followed, talking quietly.

In the X-jet, Spark sat alone on the sides while Storm and Cyclops got the jet ready. Rouge and Bobby sat across from her, still talking quietly. Spark glanced up as Logan got on. Logan was a strange character. His wild appearance, and his gruff clothing made him look more like an animal than anything. From what the other kids at the school said, his mutation was healing. That came in awfully useful when the metal claws popped out of his hands.

Logan sat down next to her. "How ya doing, kid? Like it here?" he asked gruffly. "Yeah, it's way better than back home. After they found out, no one would talk to me. They'd talk about me, sure, but not to me. I'm one in the crowd here. I really like it," was her reply. "Yeah, that's why I'm here, too." For an animal he sure seemed nice. "So, I haven't really seen you since you came here. What's your power?" he asked. "I can manipulate fire. Like, if there's an open fire, I can make it bigger, or I can put it out. I can kinda bend it to my will." she answered and held up and gloved hand with only three fingers. (A/N: It's got the forefinger, middle finger and thumb sewed on with flint on the tips -.-;) "These gloved allow me to make fire if I snap. There's flint on the tips of the fingers." It was true. When he looked closer, he saw the tiny specks on the tip on her fingertips. "Like that one kid, Pyro?" "Who?" "Never mind then. Well, a little late, but welcome home." He leaned his head back and fell asleep.
