Secrets

' ' Means a character thoughts Italicized means telepathy

Night Crawler and Ice Man were walking near the gates of the academy, when someone was slammed against the gates. They heard a low and dangerously soft voice sneer," that all you got bitch." Night Crawler decided to intervene before someone got seriously hurt .he vanished then grabbed the girl who was against the gates and reappeared back on the academy grounds.
The girl whispered, "Thanks I think." Then passed out

"What are we gonna do with her?" Bobby, Ice Man, asked.

"We will bring her to the professor to see what were going to do with her." Night Crawler responded.

" I wonder who was after her." Ice Man wandered out loud.

"I don't know." Night crawler said then ended the conversation by picking the girl up and starting toward the academy. Ice Man just shook his head at him. Raven's POV

I slowly awoke from passing out and I was completely surrounded by unknown people. All of them asking random questions at the same time. I tuned them all out. I was busy trying to figure out what had happened .the last thing I remembered was trying to get here, and getting chased down by my dads security team. Wolverine walked into the infirmary looked around and roared "shut up." Everyone got quiet quickly and looked at him. "Why are you badgering her when she just woke up?" Wolverine asked.

Jean replied,"Because we need to know what's going on so we're ready for anything."

"My coming here is temporary, so you don't have to worry 'bout my problems. Just so you know and my problems are just that, mine, meaning it's none of your mother fucking business." Raven sneered.

"Anything that has to do with the academy has to do with me." Jean replied. Raven calmly countered,"It has nothing to do with the academy."

"I am Kurt but you may call me Night Crawler. I was there when you arrived here to day. If I may ask what's your name. "Night Crawler politely asked as though to defuse the tension in the room.

"Nice to meet you NightCrawler, my name is Raven Angel. I'm from southern Louisiana. I'm looking for a safe place to stay for a couple months. That's pretty much all any of you need to know. I'm sorry nightcrawler if I seem bitchy for a while I don't mean to be towards you." Raven replied.

"It is nice to meet you my angelic one." Night crawler smiled as he said. From that I believe that he knew my secret or at least one of them.

Wolverine just smiled at me and commented," you got spunk kid," shaking his head," that may not be a good thing." I just snorted at that.

I addressed the room at general, "So are you going to aggravate me all night or are you'll gonna let me sleep?"

This time when I woke up I was in a new room all by my self. 'Thank God, I don't think id be able to deal with them again.' she got up groaning all her muscles were protesting getting up.' you would think the guy actually beat the hell out of me.' Raven thought rolling her eyes. Raven decided to go back to bed when there was a knock at the door.' who ever it is will die a painful death if they don't go the fuck away.' she thought savagely.

"Who is it?" I growled.

"Its Ice man. Jean sent me to tell you breakfast is being served in the cafeteria." He nervously replied.

"I'll come down when I damn well please and you can tell her that I'll eat when I want to, and not on her dumb ass schedule." I snapped.' There's no way in hell I'm getting up because that bitch tells me to, if she doesn't like it she can go fuck herself. This is the perfect way to start the worst day.' Raven snorted at that thought.

"Miss Angel, this is professor Xavier. Open the door so we can talk about what happened yesterday. And why I cant read your mind."

She moved very carefully to the door to open it for the professor. " Just call me, Angel. Professor, I'm a telepath and a telekinetic .So I know you cant read my mind but I can read yours." Raven replied simply," I have other mutations but they're not important. For a few months while I'm asking to be part of the x-men. Then I'll be gone, it's as simple as that."

"Angel I'll ask the team to see if they think it would be good for you to be a temporary member of our group." Professor x. replied," Jean said that you told every one you would only be with us for only a short time. Why is that may I ask?"

" I have a little brother who's a mutant that a friend of mine will be rescuing him from our house soon. When he get here and is safe I'll leave. I don't want to be in this war but I want to help for as long as I can. I believe I could help ya'll."

"We need to know where your loyalty would be in a fight, what you feel about the things going on? How you perceive the world's problems."

"I'm loyal to who I see is worth my loyalty. I believe the world is wrong for persecuting us for who we are, and that if they continue with their ignorance of what we are they're gonna mess with the wrong mutant and start an all out war that no one would be able to stop. I feel disgusted how normal people treat us we think the same and are the same as them but they don't see that it makes me sad when I observe the cruelty that they do toward them selves and us. That professor is how I see things. I'll fight for my own beliefs not any one else's." I stated bluntly
