A/N Thanks Jago, for the review. I thought about it and am going to change it. Hope you all like the new storyline.
Aura walked into the building with the guy. He had told her his name was Logan. In the building everything was quiet. It was about 2:00 am so she wasn't surprised. Logan led her down a hallway until they came to a room. Logan opened the door and Aura saw a man in a wheelchair at the desk in there. She thought it was weird that this guy was still awake. I wanted to be here to greet you when you came, and maybe explain a few things. The thought jumped into Aura's head from nowhere. It scared her. "Did anyone else hear that?" she asked frantically. She could feel that cold tingle again.
"Please, calm down," the guy in the wheelchair said. "That was me. I'm telepathic; I can speak straight into your mind. I'm sorry if I frightened you. Now, I suppose you're wondering who I am. I am Professor Charles Xavier and I run this school. And you are Lana, correct?"
"I prefer Aura," she said somewhat meanly. "How did you find me?"
Xavier smiled. "I found you using a machine called Cerebro. But that's not important right now. I wanted you here because I knew you needed help. I know you have trouble controlling your power. At this school I, and others who you will meet later, teach young mutants how to control their power."
"I don't need any help, I can learn on my own." Xavier acted like he didn't even hear her.
"Now, you're probably tired. Logan," he said turning to him, "will you show her a place to sleep?" Logan nodded his head and opened the door. Aura followed him out.
Once they had the door closed and were starting down the hallway she said, "Don't bother showing me my room, I'm not going to sleep."
"Too excited huh?"
"No, I'm just not tired," she said angrily. Truth was, now that she had gotten here, she didn't really like it. It was in such a deserted place. She didn't think she should have to hide out from other people just to be safe.
Logan, instead of leading her to a bedroom, led her to the kitchen. Two kids about her age were there. "Lana, this is Rogue and Bobby."
"You can call me Aura," she said.
"And you can call me Iceman," the guy named Bobby said. "So, what's your power?" Aura just smiled. She didn't really feel like killing some guy she just met, so she decided not to show him.
Logan answered for her "She can heal herself like me." They sat there and talked for a little while until Aura couldn't stand it anymore and went back outside. She heard footsteps behind her; no doubt it was Logan coming to tell her to get back inside. But when she turned around she saw a woman with white hair standing there. "Hello," she said with a smile, "I'm Aurora, or Storm, whichever you prefer. I was just coming to say hi when you walked out."
"Doesn't anyone here sleep?" But as she said it she saw the sky was light now. It must be about 6:00 am already. God, how long had she sat there listening to them talk? "So Storm, what do you guys do for fun around here?"
"Don't worry, it will get better once everyone is up. Then you'll have kids your age to talk to." She smiled sweetly. "Now, would you like to go meet the others?" Aura shrugged and followed her inside. In the hallway was Logan, Rogue, Bobby, some guy with weird glasses, and a blue guy with a tail. "Aura this is Scott and Kurt. And I believe you've already met Logan, Bobby and Rogue."
"Hi," she said. "So what do you guys do all day?"
"Well," Storm began, "Scott and I teach, and Rogue and Bobby are students. Logan and Kurt do their own things."
"So, I have to go to school?"
"Well, it's a different kind of school," Storm said. "You learn the things that everyone else learns, but you also learn to control your power."
"Fun," she mumbled. Everyone started to leave after that, all of them had something they had to do. And what about her? Already she could tell she was going to hate it here. So why stay? Yeah, she would leave. They couldn't stop her could they? Logan had said to just come and see if she liked it. Well, she didn't like it.
Just as she was about to leave, Storm put her hand on her shoulder. "Aura, Professor Xavier would like a demonstration of your power. He's in the courtyard outside waiting for you." Aura stalked off toward the courtyard behind Storm. Just as she had said there was Professor Xavier. But everyone else was there too. So, this is where they all had gone? Well, all except Bobby and Rogue, she noticed they weren't there.
"Aura," Xavier said, "we would like to see your power. If you're as powerful as I think you are, then if we can get you to control your power you could be of great help to us. There is a man named Magneto who nearly killed all humans when he escaped from his prison. And now he has a student of mine helping him, along with Mystique, a shape-shifter." Why was he telling her this? Did he want her to kill him? Or was he simply informing her of things everyone else already knew? Either way, this was getting boring.
"Ok, so you want a demonstration?" He nodded his head. "Fine, everyone stand back." Aura took a knife out of her pocket and cut her arm open. Everyone winced except Xavier. Then, she concentrated completely on just healing her arm. She felt that cold tingle. She lifted her hand up and saw the sort of black haze forming around her hand, then up her arm. She felt it envelope her and hoped she could control it. She looked down at her arm and saw the wound closing up. When her arm was completely healed she started pushing back her power. At first she didn't know if it was working and thought she had lost control. Then, she looked at her hand and the black haze wasn't there anymore. She help up her arm so they could all see. They clapped softly, though she didn't know why. She was sure they could all do better things than her with their powers. But that's not all you can do. She pictured the man she had killed and heard him scream in agony. A sudden rush of pride swept through her. She did that. She was powerful.
