X-Angel

Chapter 3

"How is she?" Professor Xavier asked, once Jean returned.

"Well, she's a little undernourished, and has a few signs of a cold. But she should be fine." Jean said, pouring herself a cup of Tea. "I sent her to get herself cleaned up, and given her some clothes to wear."

"Good." Xavier thought. "Where is she now?"

Jean took a sip of her drink. "Warren's showing her around, and introducing her to some of the other students."

"We shall have to introduce her to the other staff member's aswell, before she starts with any of her classes."

"I agree. They should be finished with the tour by now." Jean put down her Mug. "I'll ask someone to go and find them."

"So it wasn't too bad then?" Warren asked, after he waited for Piper, to come out of the Shower Room. She was dressed, in a Grey Hoddie, with Some Jogging trousers both marked with the 'X' logo.

Piper smiled. "Did I say it was going to be?" They walked over to the lift. "Not like these clothes." She commented picking away at some of the material. "So then, how about you show me around this place?" She asked.

Piper, please can you report to my office Xavier's voice could be heard in her head.

"Maybe another time?" Warren asked, raising an eyebrow. Piper walked into the lift, as the doors opened. "You want me to come with you?"

"No, I should be alright. I'll find you later." She said, just as the doors closed infront of her.

"Hey Warren?!" Bobby called down the hall.

"Oh hey."

"You coming... play some Football?" Bobby asked.

"Sure. Your on my team!"

Piper once again walked into Xaviers office. A little more confident this time, and saw a whole Faculty of Teacher's, amoungst the room.

"Piper, I though it would be a good idea for you to meet with the other Teachers." Xavier said, from behind his desk. "You already know Dr. Jean Grey... this is her Fiancee Scott Summer's. He is also known as Cyclop's."

"Hey." Scott said.

Piper, found herself staring at his Red tinted glasses. "Sorry." She apologised, looking down at her feet.

"Scott teaches engeneering, and Sports... This is Ororo Munroe, also called Storm. She will be teaching you History, and Religious Education." Xavier carried on.

"Hello." A Black woman said, Piper was a little startled by her stark white Hair.

"And last but not least, this is Logan." Xavier said, looking over as a very gruff looking Man, with a Cigar in the corner of his mouth. He looked quite Dirty, but definatly someone who you wouldnt want to pick a fight with.

"Hi." Piper smiled. "Dont you have another name?" She asked curiously.

"Wolverine." He grinned. The other teachers looked at him in suprise, as not before had he mentioned himself to have a Codename. "And I'll be your self defense coach." He said, pushing his hand out. Piper shook it, with a strong grip.

"And myself and Jean will be teaching between us, English, and Science." Charles nearly finished. "There are Two other teachers however who arnt present. And that is Dr. Hank McCoy, and Emma Frost... Dr. McCoy will be teaching Science on a Higher level, and Ms. Frost will be teaching, Accounting, and Mathematic's, alongside Dr. McCoy...." Xavier paused for a brief second. "Ms. Frost is away on a business Trip at the Moment in Washington. She wont be back for another week."

"Cool." Piper replied. She saw Logan's eye's looking her up at down, and Xavier noticed her discompfort in his prescense.

"Ororo," He interuppted. "Maybe yourself and Jean could take Piper into Town. Buy her some new clothes." He said reaching into his draw, and Pulling out a Credit Card.

"Yes Professor." Ororo obayed, and left the room with Jean and Piper in tow.

"So what are your Mutations..." Piper asked, breaking the silence in the car. "I mean, what can you do?"

"Well, I can control the Weather. Make Tornado's, and many other Natural Phenominon's." Ororo said, turning round in her seat.

"And I'm a Telepaph, and Telekinetic." Jean added, who was Driving.

"That's pretty cool. When I was younger, I was convinced I was Psychic, and could tell the future." She let out a smirk.

"Maybe you can..." Jean commented. "Anything's possible these day's."

"Why did you think that?" Ororo asked, looking over her shoulder.

Piper shook her head, and let out a sigh. "I remember when I was about Five. It was my second week in the Orphanage, and I was lying in my Bed, looking at the Fire Bell." She explained. "Then all of a sudden, a thought came into my head out of no-where in particular... 'What if the fire alarm went off?'... Later that day, there was a fire Drill."

"Maybe, you overheard people talking about it?" Ororo asked.

"Maybe." Piper shrugged. "It's just they never told us, when they would do them... some other stuff like that has happened aswell, but I cant remember most of them." She said, just as Jean pulled the car up into a Multi-story carpark, in a Large Shopping Mall.

"Right then... you ready to go shopping?!" She said excitedly, and locked the car up.

After about Four hours in the Mall, Piper had been bought a brand new Wardrobe, and with the help of Jean and Ororo, they were struggling to carry all of the Bag's back to the car.

"So, are you happy with what you've got today?" Jean asked, as Ororo drove home.

"Oh, Definatly!" She grinned. "Although, most of these clothes, were a little loose on me..."

"Yes well, you need to put some weight onto you... otherwise you are going to get ill." Jean said sternly, as she sat next to her in the back seat.

"I think I already am ill..." Piper gasped for air, as she went to sneeze.

"Bless you." Ororo quipped from the front.
