******* At the X-Mansion *******
Storm was walking past the front door when Scott, Jean and there new tag-a- long walked in.
"So, how was the date?" Storm asked as the couple came in.
"It started great, but it got a little cut short." Scott said as he gestured to the little girl in his arms.
"Oh my" Storm frowned as she rushed over to the little girl, "where did you find her?"
"At the street corner between First street and Main." Scott said as he pried the little girls arms off of him, "I think that she has some sort of mutant powers, but that would be impossible, right?"
Storm took the little girl in her arms, "Yes, it would. Mutants git their powers when they reach puberty."
Storm examined the girl, she had the basic build up of a regular 6 year old. Her long black hair, for the first time, allowed you to see her face. She looked to be Aisin, Japanese or Chinese. She wore a small brown Kimono, which made Storm decide that she must be Japanese. "God, She's nothing but skin and bone!" Storm said, "Who knows how long she was on the street."
Storm looked up at the concerned couple, "I think that she'll be alright, but I'll take her to the sick room, just in case." (I have no idea if they have a sick room at the mansion, but in my story they do)
*******Late that Night; In the Sick Room******
Slowly Dia's eyes fluttered open. After remembering what had happened the day before, she sat strait up in the bed. She looked franticly around and seeing that no one was there she started to bawl her head off.
Storm rushed to the room to see what could have upset the child, seeing no one/nothing there she rushed over to the child to comfort her (and to get her to stop crying).
"Hush now, don't cry." Storm said in a soothing voice, "your safe here."
The girl stopped screaming, but the tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
"Now, why don't you tell Auntie Storm what's the matter, hm?" Storm said, relieved that the whole mansion hadn't rushed to see what was making all the racket. She hadn't told anyone, except the professor, about the child.
The girl looked up at Storm. Slowly she raised her hand up to her forehead and touched it lightly.
Storm realized what she was doing right away (Scott had told her about when she did this to him) and allowed her to continue. Suddenly she got a picture in her head, it was a picture of Scott. Storm smiled understandingly.
"You want to see Scott, don'tch ya?" Storm said with a slight babyish tone in her voice, "Well, were going to haveta go see him, now aren't we?" Storm picked up the child (now in a plain white night gown) and headed out the door towards Scott's room.
When she reached Scott's room she knocked lightly on the door. When there was no answer she knocked again, this time she received a muffled response that she took as a 'come in'.
She walked in to see that Scott was still lying as if asleep on is bed.
"Go away... It's to early..." he mumbled as he rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. Storm sat down on the empty bed next to his (I don't think that Scott has a roommate and if he does... well he doesn't in MY story).
"Well there he is." Storm whispered to the little girl in her arms, "So what now?" she asked as she put her on her knee.
The little girl brought her hand up to Storms forehead again and sent her a picture of herself in the bed that they were sitting on.
"Well, I guess that you can sleep here tonight." Storm smiled as she lifted up the covers on the bed and placed the little girl in side. She leaned over and tucked the girl in. The little girl gave her a smile that made it so Storm couldn't resist giving the little girl a peck on the cheek before she stood up and started to leave the room. She stopped at the doorway and smiled at the girl.
"Just remember, no funny business." Storm said with a smile as she walked out of the room leaving the two there. She wasn't really sure if she should leave her there, but if she didn't she had a feeling that the only thing that would come of it was more crying and she really didn't like to see people cry.
She sighed **oh well. I guess that what's done is done** and with that she returned to her room for some much needed sleep.
