-at the Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters (a.k.a. a school for mutants)-
Beep!!!
Beep!!!
BEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
Charles Xavier quickly wheeled his way to Cerebro, passing Logan who muttered under his breath,ANOTHER one, Charles? This is getting annoying...
Logan, you never know what happens. We have to take every chance, Professor Xavier answered back, flatly. Furthermore, why don't you come with me to see who it is?
Ah, what the heck... fine.
At Cerebro, Xavier strapped on the headgear as Logan leaned on one of the extra chairs arms crossed, with an angry scowl on his face.
Lighten up, Logan!
Cerebro logged on... and the screen flashed and sounded with a bio of a young girl.
Name: Sara Chankey
Location: Bay Head, New Jersey
Age: 15
Mutations: Ocular Albinism and other eye-related problems and Abilities: Can create visual and sound illusions and force fields around them to make them seem real. Also has unusual skin markings across her back, similar to scales. Thought of as eczema but current readouts unsure. Possibility of second gene signature present. Ocular Albinism is from birth. X-Gene present, but dormant until last week.
Visual output ready.
Beep...
Beep...
Beep..........
To Xavier's (and Logan's) shock, the visual was of the same girl but she was with...
Logan cried, That-- that-- that damn rat...
Xavier replied, You always have to be on your toes...
but not have to be standing up to do it.
He's got the girl already.
Maybe, maybe not. Listen for a moment.
... Sara... Sara Chankey, you are, in no way am I trying to offend you with this statement, a mutant. And you were probably also aware of this fact, correct?
she mumbled, obviously perplexed.
Shy? That's all right. We all have been. But I was wondering if you would like to join me. You see, I am a mutant, too.
She sternly, almost forcefully snarled,Prove it.
He motioned to a stop sign, and with his hand outstretched, Xavier, Logan, and Sara watched in horror as he made it bend all the way over and then back to its original position upright without moving from his spot, several yards from the sign.
And you, with your amazing talent! Why, Sara, you could have endless possibilities with the kind of mirages you could create! Join me, and we can do anything! No normal human could think of standing in our way!
Don't say yes, kid. Don't say yes! Logan nearly screamed, as he pounded on the side of Cerebro as if it would make any difference. In his sheer anger, his claws detracted, and neither of them noticed the small, dull glow emitted off on Sara's right shoulder.
