She was speechless.
Josephine Rivrus stared blankly terrified by what she saw in front of her.
It was a person on fire.
She didn't mean to, honest to death she didn't. It all happened so fast.
First the guy comes up to her with a knife and threatens her, she held up her hand to shield herself from him and the next thing she knew the man was running away screaming as he desperately tried to kill the flames that crept around his flailing arms and up to his face.
Josephine stared down at her hands, turning them over and looking at them again and again.
Where had that flame come from?
Suddenly up ahead some ways the man who was on fire stopped shrieking and stared, jaw dropped as he looked at his body and saw the flames melt away and die out by rain that only fell above him.
He quickly turned around to see a Woman with warm brown skin and flowing white hair, eyes blazing white holding her hands up to the sky.
The rain slowly faded and the white haired woman was joined by a man with weird looking sun glasses and another woman with pretty red hair in a pony tail.
The man ran away leaving Josephine to wonder what was going on.
She walked up to where he was to be suddenly amazed by what she saw.
"Don't worry, you're safe now." The pretty red haired woman said taking a step closer to the frightened Josephine.
"Who-who are you all?" She asked, her dark green eyes fluttering quickly searching the three people's faces for an answer.
"I'm Jean and this is Scott and Storm. We are with a school for gifted people like you and I." Jean said softly taking another step closer to the young woman.
"How did you know? And why?" Josephine could hardly get all her words out.
Is this really happening?
"Yes it is." Jean replied to her thought.
"How,..how did you do that?" Josephine asked taking a step towards Jean.
"I'm gifted with the power of telekinesis. And you seem to be gifted with the power to create and control fire. You see, a wonderful and caring man named Xavier,(gifted himself.) decided to make a school up for all mutants (as the public call us) to live free and not be judged or teased of our powers and differences." Jean smiled.
"But why me and how did you know I was, uh gifted?" Josephine asked, still a little confused.
"No one chooses you. It's just whoever Xavier finds who is incoming of age with their powers and needs to learn how to control it. You see you built this machine, kind of complicated story, but what it does is find people like us and then we go and try to help them. I guess what we were wondering was if you need a place to be and learn you new gifts this school doesn't cost money and we will always be there for you." Jean replied.
Josephine seemed to be in deep thought.
There isn't much left for me here. My parents are divorced and I'm living with my dad who's become a drinker and a one night stand man. Hopefully Mom and Julie will understand. Besides, maybe I can trust these people and soon I can go find my mom and try to survive on my own in the world. It'd do me a world of good.
As if listening into her thoughts Jean nodded with a smile and waited for Josephine to come by her side before walking back to the shuttle.
Rogue might be a good companion for her to have right now. She is also still learning her powers. Although most everyone still is though..
