Darkness....
Her eyes opened slowly. Where was she? Everything was whirling around her.
What had happened to get her here? It was so hard to remember. Why did her lungs feel like they were on fire? Her head hurt.
Pounding. Lots of pounding. Her heart's pounding, the pounding in her head.
Meira blinked twice. She looked around. She was in what appeared to be a hospital room. The walls were painted a peachy-yellow and she was hooked up to all sorts of devices.
Then it hit her! She remembered the field and the rain and how her heart had hurt so much.
What had she answered those two boys? What had her decision been?
You didn't make a decision Meira. A familiar voice came from the corner of the room, You blacked out, just before you answered.
Meira sat up in her bed. She looked over at the corner. The man in the wheel chair was sitting there.
Proffessor Xavier, right?
How did...
I am a telepath, thus I can read your thoughts.
You were in my head last night.
Very observant.
I...I...don't know what I am going to do. Mei stumbled over the words.
What do you mean?
I don't know who to choose. You or Mystique. Mei looked out the window of the hospital, Both are so tempting. Jesus is really testing me.
How long could this go on? How long could she stay unallied? She somehow knew her powers were great, but she didn't know where she belonged.
Mei remembered a story her mom had read to her when she was little. It was the story of a bat. It couldn't decide weather it was a bat or a bird. There was a war between the two and whoever was winning it allied itself with. In the end, both the animals and the beasts ganged up on the bat because it double crossed them both.
She knew each was offering something she wanted, but she couldn't decide. Mei bowed her head in prayer, praying that Jesus would show her the way.
Dear Lord,
I want to do what is best,
To do what you would Lord.
Please Help Me,
Amen.
I'm with you. She said quickly, the words coming out of her mouth didn't seem to be her own. It was like someone was whispering in her ears the correct words to say.
Proffessor Xavier smiled, And why did you choose us?
Let's say the angel on my shoulder is whispering in my ear.
~~~~~~~~
Everyone, may introduce our newest student, Meira Giodona, also known as, Bat. Proffessor X, as he was called, told the people standing in the room.
Meira slowly walked forward. Her messy blonde hair was pulled back into a messy bun. The purple highlights were visible now. Her uniform was a pair of black cargos and a purple t-shirt that had an X on it. She wore protective black gloves.
she said blushing.
Standing around her was Jean, Kurt, a boy with sunglasses, a man with black hair and a rustic look, and a women with platinum blonde hair.
The rustic man put his hand out, I'm Logan.
She smiled, the lady introduced herself as Ororo Munroe, and the boy introduced himself as Scott.
Do you need to call your parents Mei? Proffessor X asked her.
Oh! My parents were sending me to a boarding school in New York. I should call them I suppose and tell them that I am here.
Well then, Welcome to the X-men, Meira!
