After dinner, Ororo took me to a room with three other girls, Marie,
Jubilation Lee and Kitty Pryde. She quickly apologized for me having to
share a room, and told me I would get my own the next day. I was much older
than the three girls (Marie being the oldest at 17 and me being 23) and I
felt out of place until Kitty asked me to join them. The first thing they
said was, of course, "What can you do?"
"Well, I can turn myself invisible or insubstantial. You know, like this," I demonstrated by sinking through the bed.
"Oh, sweet!" said Kitty, grinning broadly, "That's what I can do; the insubstantial thing at least."
"I can make blaster-things shoot out of my hands." Jubilation (or Jubilee) said proudly.
"If ah touch someone, ah take theah energy. With mutants, ah take theah power for a short time. The Professor said ah won't be able to touch anyone for the rest oh my life." Marie looked down at her hands sadly.
Jubilee changed the subject quickly, "So, Logan saved your life hu? Did he actually carry you? You're soooooooooo lucky." She said, with a dreamy look on her face.
Kitty began to laugh at the expression on my face, which must have been a mixture of embarrassment and horror. I guess I had forgotten what it was like to be a teenager. After a few minutes I went to sleep while the girls chattered on.
