CHAPTER 2
Aidan stood in the corridor and waited, it was like being in high school all over again only she had to stand now and the corridor was decorated in a Victorian print wallpaper above wood paneling. The carpet was a neutral color although try as she might Aidan could not figure out exactly what color it was.
The door next to her opened and Patrick stuck his head around the doorframe.
"Ye can come in now, dote."
Aidan sighed and followed her uncle into Charles's office. Charles himself sat behind a large desk, a shortish man with dark hair stood behind him and an African woman with blue eyes was standing by the window overlooking the grounds.
"Ah Aidan, allow me to introduce two of the teachers here at the Xavier Institute. This is Ororo Munroe who teachers science" he gestured to the African woman.
Ororo smiled gently at Aidan. "I am glad that you chose to come to the Xavier Institute, Aidan. I hope that you will be very happy here with us."
Aidan glanced up at her but said nothing as she quickly dropped her gaze back to the carpet, her eyes following the swirls as they changed shade from dark fire red right up to a dusky rose pink.
"And this," Charles continued. "Is Logan our physical education instructor."
Aidan looked up at Logan, meaning to glance down as quickly as she had with Ororo but something about him held her attention.
"Welcome, kid," he growled through a wicked toothy grin.
Aidan found that she couldn't help but return the grin with an equally evil one of her own, her amber eyes lit with a strange fire that Patrick had never seen before.
Charles watched everything in silence choosing to keep his thoughts to himself for the time being. He leaned forward slightly and addressed Aidan again.
"Ms. Munroe will show you to your room now, you should rest and freshen up before dinner." He turned to look at Patrick. "Do not worry, Mr. Kennedy, Aidan will be fine with us. She will be well looked after and you and your family can visit her any time."
Patrick watched his niece follow the African woman out of the office and hoped that she had finally found a place that she could relax and feel safe in.

Aidan stood in her new room and looked around, the largest piece of furniture was a wardrobe in which all her clothes now hung. The bed was flanked on each side by a small chest of drawers acting as a nightstand and finally a larger chest of drawers against the wall to the left of the wardrobe.
Aidan sank onto the bed and wondered how this school was going to be any different to all the others she had been to in the last few years. Each high school she had attended had finally grown tired of the troublesome Irish girl who never seemed to fit in anywhere. She usually only lasted a few months before Patrick was called into the school and she quietly disappeared from the school halls. Her last high school had tolerated her for a longer than the others but had finally given up, it was hard to help someone that didn't talk to anyone even the other students.
Aidan shook her head to banish the thoughts and started to unpack her last suitcase. She was just putting the last thing away when there was a knock on her door, expecting it to be Ororo Aidan carried on with what she was doing.
"Come in," she called out, turning to look at the door.
"Hi," a young girl about Aidan's age with dark hair stood in the doorway. "I'm Kitty, Katherine Pryde."
Aidan blinked a few times before realizing that Kitty was staring at her.
"Sorry, I'm Aidan. Ye wanna come in?"
Kitty wandered in and perched on the bed. "Don't worry about being the new kid around here, sooner or later someone else will turn up. So what do you think of the institute so far?"
"I haven't really had a chance t' see anything yet," Aidan sat down next to Kitty. "I've not long been here and the professor said to rest before dinner."
Kitty's face broke into a friendly smile, "Did you have to travel far? I came from Chicago, my mom and dad decided this was the best place for me after my powers kicked in and I had like absolutely no control."
"Only from New York," Aidan looked down at the floor. "My uncle sent me came here because my last.few high schools didn't quite work out."
Kitty scrunched her pretty little face up in sympathy. "Too bad. So like what's your power? I can turn my body intangible and phase through any solid object."
Aidan looked at Kitty and grinned. "mainly I heal real quick, but al of my senses are kinda well enhanced." She thought for a moment and then her grin grew wider. "And then there's."
Aidan would have gone on but she was interrupted by a voice out in the hall.
"Kitty.KITty.KITTY!"
Kitty suddenly slapped the heel of her hand against her forehead. "Oh darn, I like totally forgot that I was getting my gym kit. Coming Mr. Logan." She stood up and looked back at Aidan. "Don't worry, I'll talk to him and see if I can skip this lesson, just to make sure you aren't lonely." She grinned as she walked through the closed door.
Aidan stared after her and wondered if maybe she was making a small mistake, but she didn't have time to make a decision because Kitty came back through the door and smiled widely at her.
"Mr. Logan said it's like totally cool if I stay with you." She shifted from foot to foot as she thought quickly about what to say next. "So you wanna like see the mansion and find out where everything is?"
Aidan stood up and shrugged. "Sure, it might help when it comes to dinner at least then I'll know where I'm going."
Kitty grinned again and led the way out of the room.
