A New Recruit
"Wo," Madrid gasped as she pressed her face to the window and stared at the enormous mansion. "I'm gonna live here?"
The professor nodded and Ororo landed the jet. The threesome stepped out of the jet, or rolled in Xavier's case, and stood in the hanger.
"Its so huge!" Madrid turned around and around, staring at the gigantic room. "Geez!"
The professor chuckled. "Would you like to come upstairs?" he asked.
Madrid nodded and watched as a burly man with really hairy arms strode into the hanger, a scowl on his face.
"Chuck," the man snarled, "them toddlers you left me with have been tearin' the place apart."
The professor sighed.
"They're not toddlers Logan," he corrected the man, "they're teenagers. And I shall give them a lecture as soon as we get Miss Noce settled in. Would you be so kind as to carry her suitcase up to Jennifer's room? The two girls can share, I'm sure they won't mind."
The man grunted and dragged Madrid's suitcase out of the jet and hefted it towards the elevator.
"You comin' pink?" he called over his shoulder. Madrid scurried after him and the professor and Ororo followed.
When they were all in the elevator, Charles made the introductions.
"Logan, this is Madrid Noce. Madrid, Logan."
Madrid's small, soft hand was swallowed up by the man's big, rough one in a brief handshake.
"She's fuzzy like the elf," Logan grunted as they reached the first floor.
"Elf?" Madrid repeated, somewhat confused.
The elevator doors opened up and the group stepped out into a large
foyer.
"Wo," Madrid stared at the large chandelier and the huge staircase as the rest of her party walked on in.
"Professor, professor!" called a little curly-haired boy. The boy transformed into a pixie and jumped up and down around Charles.
"Calm down Timothy," the professor ordered, holding back a smile.
The pixie nodded and slowly turned back into a boy, much to Madrid's astonishment.
"Ray cheated and he shoved Jamie into the pool!"
"Tattle tale!" Ray Crisp yelled as he burst into the foyer. "Tattle tale! Liar! I didn't push Jamie, he slipped!"
The professor rubbed his temples. He was getting a headache and he hadn't even been home for five minutes.
"Tell me what happened Timothy," he asked the smaller boy.
Timothy took a deep breath and told the professor about how the newer students had been playing pickle and how Ray had shoved Jamie into the pool when the smaller boy had tagged him.
"I didn't shove him for the last time!" Ray protested. Timothy stuck his tongue out at him and hid behind Xavier's chair.
Logan grumbled under his breath as he pushed past them to go upstairs to the girls' dorm.
Ray noticed Madrid for the first time and stared at the pink girl.
"Who's she?" he asked, pointing. Timothy turned and stared at her too.
"This is Madrid Noce," Ororo explained. "Madrid, meet Ray Crisp and Timothy Morlund. Boys, Madrid."
"She's got a funny name," Timothy smiled, but extended his hand to shake anyway. "You can just call me Timmy if you want."
Madrid glared at the little boy that thought her name was funny.
Charles sighed. They were not getting off to a good start here.
"Madrid, why don't you go up to your new room and get settled?" he suggested. "I'll call in the rest of the students for you to meet once you're ready."
Madrid was still glaring at Timothy as she followed Logan to the second floor.
