Maria winced and opened her eyes to see Alex and Kyle hovering over her. Her eyes widened, "No! Get out before Hank comes back!"
Kyle shook his head and grabbed her hand. "Maria, you fought him."
Maria shook her head and struggled to sit up, what she saw in the corner shocked her. "I did that?" she whispered.
Suddenly the trailer door swung open, "I feel awful this is all my fault." Maria moved her gaze to the red head and shook her head, "What does she mean?"

Wolverine who had been watching the scene coughed, "We'll tell you about it on the trip.
The voice came to Maria's ears rich and deep, almost growl like. The man was handsome; he had black hair that looked almost purple and deep brown eyes.
Not waiting for an answer Wolverine swept down picking up Maria and stalked out of the trailer. Kyle and Alex followed dumbly waiting for her to protest. But Maria didn't protest. She had never felt so safe in her entire life.

It had three days since the three of them had been brought to the institute. Kyle had been a big hit with all the girls, even that girl Rogue was seen smiling every now and then. Alex had been holed up in the lab with Dr. McCoy talking experiments and medical terms and such.
Maria on the other hand had gone back to her usual self, staying out of people's way. It worked for the most part, except with Logan. He always seemed to find her, never trying to talk but just content to sit and enjoy each other's company.
Yesterday the aliens had tried the danger room and ended coming out with less bruises then everyone else all together. None of them were as fast as everyone else but with their powers they were extremely powerful.

Maria had moved into a room with Tabitha which was fine with her, the girl was plain crazy but at least she knew to keep her distance.
Kyle and Alex were given the last free room and had already made it home with all their belongings. Maria's side of the room was blank which was great for Tabby who had enough stuff for ten rooms.

Monday morning rolled around, the aliens were starting school. They would be seniors with Logan, and Ororo. Jean, Scott, Rogue, Remy and Tabitha were juniors and everyone else was sophomores and freshmen.
Maria rolled her eyes as Logan pulled the truck up to the school. Great, just great she thought.
Alex who had caught a ride with Jean was already heading up the steps to the office and Kyle was surrounded with a flock of girls.
Logan noticed Maria's look of loathing at the school, he could feel it too. School was definitely not the place for him.
"Come on Maria lets go." He sighed. Maria nodded. The students around them stared and whispered behind their hands.

Principal Kelly glared at the two boys and the girl in front of him, he absolutely hated mutants. They should all be placed in captivity.
"Maria Guerin, and Alex and Kyle Whitman I hope you know that there is no shenanigans at this school of any kind. Blah blah blah"
Maria tuned out from the principals voice. God so did this guy hate everybody or only mutants?

Ten minutes later Maria, Kyle and Alex were making their way to their first class. Science. Alex was giddy in anticipation. Pushing open the door Kyle surveyed the surroundings; good at least there were a few cute girls. He smiled charmingly making the teacher and every girl in the room melt. Maria rolled her eyes. Kyle was such a ham. Maria was given a seat in the back of the class, slumping in her chair Maria sunk low I the seat. She felt someone watching her and turned to her left. In the far back corner was Logan.
Great Maria thought, now she was going to be thinking about him all through out class.
Logan tried intently to pay attention to the class, but the alien girl across the room kept drawing his attention. There was something about her. Logan was generally not interested in girls, that was Evan and Scott's department not his.
It wasn't that Maria was real pretty or anything cause she wasn't. "Liar." Logan muttered under his breath. She was gorgeous.
