Boom! Boom! Bad storm! Eek! *authoress hides under table and prays that her computer doesn't crash* Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men, but Timothy and Jennifer are mine.

Chapter Five

Getting Settled In

"Whats a Faun?" Jamie, a.k.a. Multiple, asked, staring at the new boy in wonder.

"A Faun is a mythical creature that is half goat, half man," Jean Grey supplied.

"You're half goat!?" Jamie squawked, as Timothy played with his tail, clearly uncomfortable with all this attention.

The kids shuffled out as Ororo lead Timothy to his new room.

"Whoa!" Evan breathed as the group walked back into the rec room. "And I thought Nightcrawler would be the only X-Man with tail."

Rahne Sinclair coughed. She was Wolfsbane, her powers enabled her to turn into a wolf or werewolf whenever she wanted to.

"Oh, sorry. Forgot," Evan mumbled.

"I vonder vhat else he'll be able to do," Kurt mused, pondering what the professor had said about Timothy's powers not being fully developed yet.

"Poor kid," Jennifer thought aloud, "did you see his black eye?"

Bobby hugged her to him.

"Don't worry Miss Freeze," he said, using her code name. "If he stays with us he'll get another to match."

"Bobby!" Jennifer giggled, shoving herself away from Iceman. "You're so mean!"

"Shush guys!" Ray Crisp, a.k.a. Berzerker, hollered as he turned on the TV and began to surf through the channels.

Scary thunderstorm! *hides under table again*
