Hecate stepped through the newly made door and stood there staring at the Prof., Jean, Scott, Kitty, Evan, Kurt, and Rogue. The Prof. was the first to move, and wheeled himself over to the girl. And he did the most shocking thing, he held out his hand to Hecate.
"Miss. Hecate, welcome. You have my sincerest apologizes for insulting you," the Prof. greeted warmly. She did not even glance at his hand, but turned her head to him and bowed. The Prof. lowered his hand, smiling. "I would like to introduce the rest of, the now present, students of the Xavier Institute for the Gifted," he waved his hand over to the students, and they slowly stood up, "this is Scott, also known as Cyclops," as the Prof. introduced each of them they walked towards Hecate, and bowed in the same manner she had shown, "Jean-Grey; Kitty Pryde, Shadowcat; Kurt, Night Crawler; Evan Daniels, Spyke; and this is Rogue," Rogue was the last to bow, but she was the only one who did not smile at Hecate when she bowed.
"What are all of your powers?" Hecate asked with neutral curiosity.
"I can shoot lasers out of my eyes, the only problem is they would constantly come out if I didn't have these sunglasses on," Scott pointed to his sunglasses as he smiled at the new comer.
"I have telekinetics, I can move objects with my mind, and can sometimes read others minds. But, I am still inexperienced," Jean giggled a bit at that last remark she made.
"Me," a mellow poof was heard and Kurt was behind Hecate and then back in front of her, "I can teleport, and because of this horrible mutation, I can use my tail to swing places and even walk on walls and ceilings, and stuff," Kurt smiled wholeheartedly.
"I can phase through stuff. So I would like to apologize in advance if I phase through you or accidently leave a toothbrush in you if I'm running late," Kitty silently laughed at her comment.
"I can shoot different sized spikes out of my body, that's where I got my codename from," Evan held up a fisted hand that released a few tiny spikes.
"Ma power isn't exactly controllable, so don't touch me," Rogue turned around with her eyes closed, as she snapped at Hecate.
"Rogue," the Prof. exclaimed calmly, "that is no way to treat our new member. Remember, we are a family,"
"Look, new kid, ah ain't exactly warm and luvin like everyone else, so just stay outta ma way. If ya'll can do that, then you an ah might actually be able to talk in a nice manner. Ya got that?" Rogue spoke with a know-it-all tone, but that did not even phase Hecate.
"You're the untouchable that I have heard about," Hecate was so blunt and sudden that it caught Rogue and the rest of the students off guard, "You are the mutant that cannot touch another being because when you do, you suck out of them their life force, their memories, and in some cases their powers. Because of your God like gift, you have isolated yourself from others, not allowing anyone to get close to you, know you, or try to understand you," Rogue stared at her with a mixture of pure rage and surprise.
"I have been waiting to meet you so that I could say to your face exactly what a cowardly fool you are. You say that you are so strong and that you can live without others and get along fine, when really you are weak. There are actually people who can live without the interaction of others, and still be strong. You are like a bratty child that just says this for people to feel sorry for you. You know this yourself, you need the company of others, but you are afraid that if they cannot accept you and do what they have to avoid touching you, they will hate you. You are afraid of rejection. If you cannot stand up to that, then you have no right in acting in such a cocky manner all the time," Rogue was speechless and couldn't even come back with a comeback.
The rest of the students stared at Hecate and then at Rogue, and where just as surprised as she was. The Prof. looked at his new student with a look of deep thought.
"As for the rest of you, it was a pleasure meeting you, and Prof., you do not hae to show me to my room, I already know where it is. Goodnight to you all, and a word of advice, do not come anywhere near me during the night, this is for your own safety. If you decide not to head this warning, then I cannot be responsible for my actions," with that Hecate vanished into the shadows making the students jump.
"It is alright, she has a habit of moving with shadows," the Prof. reassured his agitated students, "And Rogue, please to not make this first meeting the decision maker for your relationship with her in the future. She just has a different way of acting and doing things than the rest of us, and we should try to respect that. The rest of you should follow Hecate, and all go to bed, I will talk to you all later tomorrow morning. Come to the library at 9: 30 ans we shall speak, understand?" The X-men nodded, said their goodnights and went their separate ways to their rooms.
As each lay in bed, they thought of the events that just happened. They all tried to get a handle on what that fear they felt was. After numerous tries, they gave up, and let the darkness lull them to sleep.
Two of the X-men, however, were both awake. One brewing in anger, confusion and surprise, the other staring at the moon with a lost glaze in their eyes.
