Chapter 2: Dreams
Ellien walked into the spacious office. It was beautiful, but in a simple way. Large windows gave a view of the lawns outside, and paintings adorned the walls. Drawing her gaze away from the décor, Ellien looked at the older man in the wheelchair. He looked to be a grandfatherly figure, kind and gentle.
"Good morning, sir.?" Ellien was not yet sure of the professor's title. Although it had been written in the invitation letter to the school that she had received, she had been foolish enough to forget the name.
The man chuckled. "No need for formalities, dear, just professor will do." Ellien nodded. She may not have been near as old as him, but she was a young adult, after all.
"My name is Charles Xavier. I run this school for people like us.for the children. I'm glad you decided to come. I believe that we here at the school can help you to control your powers, subdue them, even find how to manipulate them to our advantage. You could become powerful enough even to- "
The professor was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in," he called. The door opened and a young man entered. He had an odd visor around his eyes; it was tinted red.
"Ellien, this is Scott Summers, but you may call him Cyclops if you wish." Cyclops nodded politely in Ellien's direction but quickly turned back to the professor.
"Professor--we've located him." This statement seemed to highly affect Xavier. He turned to Ellien.
"I am terribly sorry, Ellien, but we will have to continue this meeting later. This is a matter of great importance, I am afraid I must see to it immediately," said Xavier as he wheeled to the door. Scott opened the door for him, and as he went out of sight Ellien heard him speak.
"Ah, Kurt. Would you mind showing our new arrival around the school? Let her meet everyone; show her to her room, perhaps you could show her yours if she has questions?"
"Ja, of course, Herr Xavier," she heard Kurt reply as her heart lifted. An excuse to spend time with Kurt? Sounds good to me, she thought. Wait.STOP! What am I thinking?! It's only been a day and already I'm going for guys.
She was brought back down to Earth abruptly at the sight of Kurt looking at her as if, yet again, he was embarrassed. Ellien made a mental note to herself to keep her thoughts straight when she was around him or else this relationship, whatever kind it might be, was not going to get far.
"So.I see ze Professor vants me to show you around."
"Yeah.you don't mind, do you?" Ellien nearly swallowed her heart as it leaped.
Kurt grinned. "I vould be happy to."
Several hours later, after walking around the school, meeting teachers and students alike, and seeing everything that Xavier had to offer, it was late at night. Kurt teleported Ellien to her room, something that she immensely enjoyed once she got used to it. Kurt opened the door for her.
"Zis is your room. It should have everything you need. My room is just down the hall, if you have any questions."
Ellien grinned. "Thank you, Kurt. I had a nice day with you. Maybe we could meet for breakfast tomorrow?"
Kurt smiled back. "That sounds good. Gute nacht, meine Freundin!" as he disappeared with a BAMF.
Ellien walked inside her room. It was fairly large, probably larger than some of the younger students' rooms. It even included her own bathroom, complete with toiletries. Ellien walked back into the bedroom and threw herself on the bed. It had been a nice day.

Ellien woke up screaming. The tears in her eyes blurred her vision; she couldn't see a damn thing. Her head, her head, it hurt so bad, she couldn't see or hear or feel anything, she wanted to die-
"ELLIEN!"
