Chapter 6
// = Telepathy
Savanna padded quietly into the kitchen two days later, checking to make sure no one was watching her before she grabbed the ice cream out of the freezer. It was late morning and almost everyone was out, except for the few who had no life such as herself.
//Savanna, could you please meet me in the hangar?// A voice asked, startling her.
Savanna swung around, searching the kitchen for the person who had said it.
//I'm in your head Savanna. This is the Professor, remember, I am a telepath. Now please hurry down to the hangar.//
Savanna sighed and put the ice cream back in the freezer with a longing look.

"So this is Canada." Jubilee commented as she stepped off the Blackbird.
"Funny." Savanna said from behind the other girl. "It looks just like the States."
"Stick with us kid, and you'll see the world." Bobby teased, ruffling Jubilee's recently shortened hair.
Jubilee glared at the brunette. "Piss off Drake." She said, fixing her hair.
"Behave children." Jean said sardonically, following Bobby off the jet.
"The Professor wants us to fan out. We're looking for a girl named Laura Miller. We don't know what her powers are so be careful. Iceman, Jubilee check out the gym, teen centre, places like that. Parks are a good place to look as well. Hydra and I are going down town to look. Meet back here in 3 hours. Make sure your communicators are on. If you find her, approach her carefully and do not scare her, she'll probably bolt."
Bobby and Jubilee nodded seriously before checking their communicators, and walking away.
"Come on Hydra." Jean said, motioning Savanna to follow her.

"Does Jean actually think that the girl will actually kick around the teen centre and places full of people?" Jubilee asked. "I mean the girl is probably scared shitless, why would she want to be around humans who, if they knew what she was, would probably put her in the hospital, or worse!" She ranted almost three hours later.
Bobby just shrugged, scanning the streets for any sign of Laura. "Come on, let's check out this place."
"That would require going near a school during summer." Jubilee pointed out.
"Yeah, her school. If I were her, I'd go somewhere familiar."
"Bear Creek Secondary School [1]." Jubilee read. "Well ain't that a corny name."
"Better than Bayville High." Bobby said with a grin.
Jubilee made a face at Bobby and scanned the schoolyard. "Hey, there's someone at the end of the football field." She pointed out.
"Here, let me. I'll use the ol' Drake charm."
"Oi, Iceboy. The idea is to keep her around, not to make her bolt."
Bobby just ignored her and began to make his way down to the other end of the field.
Jubilee roller her eyes and ran to catch up with him. "Oi! Drake, wait up!"

"What do you want?" The girl asked before Bobby could speak. She sat with her knees drawn up to her chest, her head resting on her knees.
"Err.I was wondering, are you Laura Miller?"
"Yeah, why?" She answered, looking up at the boy in front of her. She felt frustration tear through her when her body changed to duplicate that of the brunette before her.
"You're a shape shifter." Bobby breathed.
"Yeah." Laura snapped. "You gonna report me to the cops too?"
"No! No, I wouldn't so that, I would just be turning myself in at the same time."
"Huh?"
"Watch." Bobby said simply, as frost began to coat the grass neat his feet and his arm up to his elbow turned to ice.
"You're mutant too!"
"Since I was 13, well technically since I was born, but anyways. Trust me, I know how hard it is. I know how scary it is, and got knows I know how frustrating it is, but there's a place that can help. Me and my friend there." He jabbed his thumb back to where Jubilee was standing. "We're from the Xavier Institute in New York."
"Isn't that, that place that was on the news all the time when that Magneto guy exposed mutants to the world?"
"That'd be the one. At Xavier's you learn how to control your power and how to use them for offensive and defensive reasons. Any mutant is welcome there, yourself included."
"Anyone?"
"Yeah, we have people from all over, and we have people that look like they belong in story books. The Institute is a sanctuary for mutants . course you still have to go to school, but they're the best schools in the county, so that makes it a bit better."
".I'd have to ask my parents." Laura mumbled, fearing the reaction she would receive from her mother and father.
[1] Bear Creek Secondary School is actually my High School, it is the most craptacular school around, but with a kick butt gym and sound system.
