A Call From New York

Mom, Dad and Madrid were still huddled on the couch when the phone rang.

"I'll get it," Madrid sniffed as she wiped her face and strode over to the wall phone. "Hello?"

"Hello, my name is Professor Charles Xavier, may I speak to Mr. or Mrs. Noce please?"

"Sure," Madrid put her hand over the phone and motioned to her dad.

"Yes?" he said into the phone.

Madrid walked back over to the couch and sat down with her mom.

"Was it hard when you first got powers?" Madrid sniffed as her mom held her close.

"It was kind of scary at first," her mother admitted. "But when I got a little control, it was pretty fun. I used to blend into the wall when the bullies would come past me in the halls at school, and I could hide from my parents when they had chores for me."

"Really?" Madrid stared up at her mother, shocked that her perfect mom would hide from chores.

"Oh yeah," her mom smiled. "Then I met your father. He had just come into his powers too, so we kind of helped each other. Then we just couldn't leave each other, so we got married and moved here."

Madrid smiled and snuggled up to her mother as her dad put the phone down and sat back on the couch.

"Who was that dear?" her mother yawned.

"That was a Professor Xavier, of the Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters," Dad replied. "He knows that Madrid has powers and has offered to teach her how to control them."

"But how did he know Richard?" her mother looked up, a worried expression on her face. "We only just found out a few minutes ago."

Richard sighed and ran a hand through his wavy black hair.

"The man says he's a telepath," he explained. "That he can read minds and has a machine that detects new mutants. He has a school where he teaches young mutants how to use their powers and control them. He offered to teach Madrid as well."

"Even though she looks like this?"

"Yes, I think we should trust him. Madrid, go pack your things, you're going to New York."
