Chapter 1- The arrival
(13 years later)
14 year-old Lelia Stone sits on the roof in her white, metal rolling office chair alone. On the small table next to her is her white and light blue laptop, on the screen is an article about wind and fire patterns. Lelia sits on the chair with her knees up, writing on the small notepad balanced on her knees. As she writes in her notebook with her black pen she starts doodling a fairy next to her notes on the patterns.
(An abandoned street somewhere)
A woman with red hair stands on a street corner dressed in blue jeans and a black t-shirt as a black limo pulls up to her. As the woman climbs in she turns into Raven Darkholme, a tall lady with blue skin and red hair. The limo starts moving as she gets in. She is wearing a skimpy black leather outfit and black boots. She has yellow eyes and a golden triangle on her forehead. As she enters she asks the brown-haired blind woman next to her "What news have you Irene?"
Destiny, in her green v-necked shirt replies "A new mutant shall appear and as she grows, she will possess more and more powers, but her strongest shall be a sensing power. She will be able to sense where and when certain mutants will use their powers and also how. She would be a great asset to your team."
Raven responds by saying "Who is this girl? Where is she?"
Irene replies with "Her name is Lelia Stone. She is 14 and she lives in Pecatonica, IL. She will soon get these powers, so you must act quickly in order to beat the X-Men to her."
Mystique then starts to climb out of the car as it has come to a stop. "Thank you Irene, I will." When she closes the door she turns into a gruff looking homeless man with torn clothing. The car starts moving again and leaves her as if nothing ever happened. Mystique walks into an alleyway sees only one drunk and notices he's sleeping. Taking the chance to change she turns into a hawk and flies away.
(Pecatonica, IL)
Lelia is sitting on the roof in her usual attire: A white tank top with a low back as result of wings, bellbottom jeans, and white sandals. She is on her laptop now looking at angels, fairies, and butterflies while listening to music with her headphones on. A hawk lands on the ground next to the house and transforms into Raven again. Raven then jumps up in one giant leap onto the roof behind Lelia. The 14 year old notices a shadow behind her, but pays no attention to it waiting for her moment. Lelia slowly takes off her headphones and turns off the radio and starts clicking on various things on the laptop. Suddenly she turns her chair around on its small wheels and jumps up confronting the tall, blue skinned woman.
"Who are you?!?" she shouts angrily. Then seeing her red hair starts to panic. She starts to mumble "No. Not you again. It ca'n't be you. You're dead. No it isn't. You aren't!"
"Lelia, what are you talking about? I don't know who you mean." was all that Mystique could reply a bit confused with Lelia's reaction. "I am Raven Darkholme. I am here to ask you to join my team of mutants."
Lelia pays no attention to what Mystique is saying she just keeps mumbling and starts to slowly back away. Mystique takes a step forward towards the young girl trying to calm her. Lelia takes a step too far and trips over the wheel of her chair and falls over the ledge of the roof.
"Lelia!" Mystique cries out as she reaches for the girl. She looks down and sees the girl is nowhere in sight. Then the girl phases up through the ground a bit confused at what just happened. She looks up to see Mystique with a hand reached out towards her over the edge.
"Go AWAY! I don't want to talk to you!" she cries out in rage at Raven.
"I only want to help you."
"I SAID GO AWAY!" she says even angrier.
"Ok. If that's what you want, but this isn't the last you'll hear of me." She replies as she again turns into a hawk and flies away. As soon as Mystique leaves Lelia starts to wonder how she will get back to her rooftop perch without her parents knowing she fell, as she thinks of it she is levitated onto the roof. When she lands on the roof she looks around and sees no one. Then she starts to think "Did I do that?"
