Firesoul chapter 2
{the small town again, it's my hometown, not supposed to give the location. Sorry}
"Sandra? Sandra, wake up, sweety."
"Ugh... hmm? Wha? Just 5 more minutes, mom..." Sandra had been brought home. It had been several hours since the fire, which had been put out. The medical people had looked over Sandra, but there wasn't a scratch, or burn on her, despite having run through flame.
"Sandra? Could you please wake up?" It was Jean. She was hovering over Sandra, waiting for her to awake. Kitty and Rogue were there as well, further back.
"Who... who are you?" Sandra, now at least mostly awake questioned. "What happened? I had a weird dream, there was this bird made of flame, and a baby..." She trailed off, not sure what had happened. It was all a blur, like a dream you try to remember, but can't.
"I'm Jean Grey. That wasn't a dream. It was real. You don't have to be afraid, Sandra. Do you know what else happened?"
"N...no, I don't. I'm sorry... I can't remember." *What does this girl want? Who is she? And... what really happened?*
Kitty stepped up. "Jean, like, maybe I can, like, get through to her." To Sandra, she said "When that bird, like, appeared, do you remember anything, like going through your head about, like, that sort of thing?"
"You talk funny... I'm sorry... could you repeat that?" *She's weird. Nobody talks like that around here... where's she from? She's kinda funny.* "Ne... never mind... I'm just tired... "
At this point, Sandra's mother, who had been watching, stepped in. "Sandra, you should get some more rest. Would you 3 come back tomorrow? I think Sandy'll be able to talk to you then, when she's not so tired."
"Mom! I told you not to use my nickname in front of people! ::attempts to stifle a yawn, but fails:: Uh... she's right. Come back tomorrow, would ya?"
{the next day, Sandra's house}
Sandra and her mother were watching the news when Jean, Kitty, and Rogue arrived. This time, they had decided that Rogue would do the talking.
"So... Sandra, when ya were in the buildin, when tha' bird formed, what were your thoughts?" Rogue inquired.
Sandra hesitated, trying to remember. "I was remembering a show I had watched, a giant bird of flame had protected a young boy, and I was wishing that bird was there then, and... all of a sudden, it was." //OK, I'm referring to an episode of Pokémon. Yeah, I like Pokémon! So sue me! Wait... on second thought... I take that back!\\ "The weird thing about it was, it felt like a real bird, not like a flame. And before that, when I raced through the flames, they.. this is hard..."
Rogue smiled. "Take your time, Ah can understand how hard this is. Jes' think, OK?" *Man... she seems familiar somehow. Seems like Ah know her from somewhere.*
Sandra grinned. "Thanks... um... What did you say you name was? Rogue?" The southern mutant nodded, motioning for Sandra to continue. "Well... the flames sort of just licked my skin. It was like I was reflecting them somehow. But that impossible, isn't it?"
Jean stepped in, to try and help. "Well, not exactly. We... my friends, the people we live with, we think that the bird, and the being able to walk through flame, is your ability. Sandra, this may be hard for you, but your a mutant."
"If you, like, come with us, you can like train and stuff." Kitty interjected. "You know, learn to, like, harness your power."
Sandra cocked her head. "Um, could one of you translate?"
Rogue chuckled. "What Kitty's trying ta say is that if ya come to the institute with us, ya can learn how ta control this fire powa //that means power to those of you who don't speak Rogue ^_~\\ that ya've got."
*If I go with them, I can learn how to use this... power... I have, but I'll be leaving my family behind..* "I don't know. I don't wanna leave my family behind."
"Don't worry about it. During the holiday breaks, you can go home to see them. It makes it a lot easier, especially with small families." Jean smiled. "And you don't have to worry about school, the new mutants always transfer into Bayville High... or in some cases, Junior high."
Sandra frowned. "You make it sound like I'm going to be the only one my age. I don't wanna be the only kid in a bunch of teens."
"Well, there is, like, one other kid your age, Jamie, a boy." Sandra started pouting. "Oh, but it's not like you can't, like, make friends with the other kids at school, you just have to go to they're place, not the Mansion. It, like, is really hard when new people, like, just show up, and they find out about, like, you know."
Sandra thought about this for a few moments, and then smiled. "OK, I'll go. But, what are we gonna tell my friends here?"
Sandras mother again inserted herself in the conversation. "You're father and I can tell them that you went off to a special boarding school. That way, we can keep the secret, but we won't be lying either."
"Well then, lets go! It's only a few hours to Bayville, it's in New York, not too far from here."
