1 Item(s) found.
Becky clicked on the site. The school, she found out, was a safe haven for mutants. Young mutants attended this school to learn to control their powers.
*What does this have to do with me* she wondered as the computer in front of her exploded.
"Oh my god! A bomb!" People were running everywhere screaming. Becky jumped out of her chair. *What just happened? Am I a mutant? Did I do that?*
A man grabbed her arm. "What did you just to?"
"I didn't do anything!" she cried in panic. "I was just looking up something on the Internet!"
"Becky!" called someone in the opposite direction. "Becky! It's okay. We can help you!"
Becky twisted out of the man's grip and ran to the person who had just called to her.
"Wait!" She told them, "we have to find Cris!"
"Honey," a man with a slight animal like appearance said. "Your boyfriend can wait."
"Eww! He is so not my boyfriend!" Becky yelled. "He's my cousin and we have to find him or I won't let you help me. whatever that means."
"Alright," said another man. He was more, clean cut than the other man and wore the tackiest visor Becky had ever seen. "I'll find him. Cris Gavin, right?"
"Uh huh." Becky wasn't about to question how he knew his name as long as he found Cris.

Once outside, after what seemed like an eternity, the man with the visor returned with Cris.
"Oh my god! Cris are you okay." Becky gave him another hug, tighter than the one she gave him in the hall.
"*Gag* Oww you're choking me!" Cris gasped.
"It was all my fault the computer blew up!" Becky cried.
"You got that right," the animal like man growled.
"Logan," the woman next to him elbowed him in the ribs. "You're not helping!"
The woman had long red hair and green eyes. "Hey," she said holding out her hand, "I'm Phoenix."
"Becky," Becky said shaking Phoenix's hand and looking at the woman in confusion.
"Becky," Phoenix said, "Perhaps you know me by my real name. Jean, Jean Grey."
