PLEASES READ AND REVIEW!!!!
"Tonya was my adoptive sister. She hated that her parents adopted me. So when my powers manifested, she told people that I had tried to electrocute her. People in my neighborhood weren't thrilled with the fact I was a mutant. They kicked me out of school, vandalized our house and threatened my parents and I. Dad thought that I would be best if I went somewhere where no one knew I was a mutant, so I came here. When I saw you in the mall today," said Dawn with a glance towards Jean, "I just kept thinking about what Tonya had done, and I lost control."
Dawn drew what seemed like her first breath since she had began talking, and felt relieved. It made her feel better to tell some one about it. None of the others were sure what to say to this. They were all relieved when Scott spoke up.
"Umm...If you don't mind me asking, why did you get upset in the first place? The girls said that they didn't see you until after you started to tear things up."
"Oh.." Dawn had hoped that they wouldn't ask her this. "I was in one of the jewelry stores looking for something to send back home to my mother for her birthday. Anyway, all of a sudden, a bit of electricity shot from my hands at some of the metal bracelets. A customer saw me and started to scream. All of the people started freaking out. It wasn't the first time it had happened, and usually when it does, I just run out, but this time I just got so mad at all of them. I hadn't done anything to them; they had no right to be scared or mad at me. So I figured that if all of these people were going to hate and fear me, they might as well have a reason to. I started knocking over carts and shooting jolts into the air. You guys know the rest."
Professer Xavier looked slightly disturbed at this. Maybe this girl would be more trouble than he'd thought! She seemed to have a lot of issues with humans. It might take some convincing to get her to trust them.
"Rogue, would you be so kind as to show Dawn around the mansion?" Asked Xavier calmly.
"Sure. Come on." Rogue stood up and motioned to Dawn, who was back to looking scared and timid.
Once the two girls were out of the room, Professor X decided to ask the other students their opinions of her.
Jean was the first to speak. "She seems nice, but no matter what she says, I think she's a little unstable."
"Yeah!" agreed Evan with a nod of his head. "I mean, she said she's usually a calm person, but then she admitted to trashing the mall to make people scared of her. That doesn't make much sense to me."
"I think she's just confused," added Kurt. He knew firsthand what is was like to be treated like a freak, and be scared away from your own home. "Maybe she'll get better."
"The question is, is she staying here?" Scott wasn't exactly keen on having such an unstable person as a housemate. "She said she wasn't sure how long she'd be here."
"That's up to her. Though I agree that she seems a little unsure, It's not my policy to turn down a mutant in need. If her powers are so hard for her to control that they repeatedly show themselves, then it's probably a safer idea to have her stay here and learn how to control them. If she continues to travel from place to place, then eventually someone is going to get hurt."
"So it's, like, settled then." Spoke up Kitty. "But what if she, like, tries to hurt Jean again? She said she reminded her of Tonya. She could lose it again!"
This didn't seem like a comforting thought for Jean. 'That's just what I need! A psycho roomie who thinks I'm her evil sister. This just gets better by the minute.'
"I'm sure that it won't happen again, I think she was just worked up and wasn't thinking clearly. If it does... well... We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." The Professor looked thoroughly worn out.
Rogue smiled to herself as she showed Dawn the kitchen. 'This is just what I needed! A psycho roomie who thinks Jean is her evil sister. This just gets better by the minute!'
