Thanks to those who reviewed. All one of you. (looks meaningfully at everyone else) I am considering taking this off because a got a few nasty emails about my X-men crossover. I'm basing the characters from X-men from the movies, not from the tv show or comics. If you want to keep this story on, or if you want to get rid of it, please review. I decided to give you all another chapter to read before you decide if you like it or not.

Part Two
Rouge led Serena down a twisting corridor. She stopped by an office door and opened it. "Professor," she said, "Serena is here to see you." Serena wondered what she was talking about, she'd just come hoping for a place to fit in.
The Professor must have answered because Rouge motioned Serena to enter. Serena tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and held out a hand to Rouge. "Thanks," she said. Rouge shook Serena's hand and turned away, beginning to walk up a set of stairs. A feeling of leather remained on Serena's hand and Serena wondered briefly why Rouge wore gloves.
But before Serena had time to say anything, a voice called to her from inside the office. "Come in please, Serena." Serena quickly walked into the office, shutting the door behind her. A man was seated behind the desk and it took a moment for Serena to realize he was in a wheel chair. A Hispanic girl sat facing him, but when the door shut she turned to look at Serena.
"Oh how rude of me, Serena this is Jimena." said the Professor.
"Hola," said Jimena. She held out her hand for Serena and when Serena shook it, Jimena's grip went weak and she stared off into space, as if in a daydream. "Wow," she said, after a moment, snapping out of whatever had held her.
Serena caught images of them together flash through Jimena's mind. Impossible, she'd never met Jimena before in her life. "Now Serena," said the Professor. "How can I help you."
"Well I…" Serena stopped and cast a meaningful glance at Jimena.
"Oh," said Jimena, rising from her chair.
"Thank you Jimena, Aurora will be outside to show you your room."
"Adios," said Jimena. She raised her hand and waggled her fingers at them before walking out the door. Serena could hear voices and then the soft patter of heals on marble as Aurora and Jimena walked away.
"You may continue now Serena,"
"Well I should start at the beginning," Serena paused. "Okay, there wasn't really a beginning, and this might sound a bit different but.. I can read peoples minds."
The Professor chuckled softly. "Really," he said, sounding rather amused.
"Yes,"
"Well I think you'll fit in quite well here."
