Chapter 2:

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors..."

Keiko looked around her. It was very odd. So many people were looking for her. She had to be in a totally different place.

"Hello Keiko," someone said. She looked over and it was a bald man in a wheelchair. Next to him was a pretty red-headed woman and a black lady with white hair. There was also a man with red sunglasses.

"How do you know my name?" she asked sacredly.

"We know all about you," said the red-head.

"How? Why am I here? Who are you people?" Keiko stammered.

"We are the X-men!" the man said. "I am Professor Xavier. This is Jean, that's Ororoe, and that's Scott. We are all mutants like you."

"What? I am not a mutant. Mutants are total freaks," the girl said.

"Well, then I guess you're a freak too," said Ororoe.

"Is that why Aisha caught on fire in lunch?" Keiko asked.

"Yes," said Xavier. "You have many powers. We called you here because you could be the most powerful mutant on earth."

"Me, no way," said Keiko. This was very overwhelming to her. Just this morning, she had been regular old Keiko. A pretty, smart girl who just didn't get along with some people in school. She had no clue that things would change this much in 24 hours. She wanted if her parents missed her. Probably not. The probably didn't notice she was gone. Too busy drinking..

"Not according to Cerebreo. I see that your telekinetic potential surpasses my own. We would very much like you on our team."

"I don't know. How do I know I can trust you? After all, you kidnapped me and brought me here. This could be a scam."

"It's not," said Scott.

"We didn't mean to take you so forcefully," said a gruff voice behind her. She turned around and recognized him at once.

"You mean, you weren't trying to hurt me?" she asked.

"Not a chance. Me and Kurt were rescuing you from the bad guys. Although, you seemed to be holding them off pretty well."

"Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb...."

"My name is Logan," he said, extending a hand.

"Keiko," she said.

"I know," said Logan.

She gazed into his eyes. They were so beautiful.

"Yes, professor. I wish to join the team," she said at last.

"Excellent," he said. "We shall call you Mental, for your abilities."

Mental. She kind of liked it...it might be okay living with the freaks after all.

"Wake me up inside. Wake me up inside. Call my name and save me from the dark. Bid my blood to run before I come undone. Save me from the nothing I've become.."
