The large oak door in front of her was closed but Damia could still hear two voices inside. She had no idea what they were saying but she could tell that they were both men. One of them was obviously Professor Charles Xavier, considering it was his office. The other voice sounded gruffer and she didn't recognize it so she assumed it belonged to the man she had helped to rescue the previous day.

Damia raised her hand to knock but before her fist made contact with the door she heard the Professor call to her. "Come in," his calm, relaxing voice said from the other side of the door.

The door creaked ever so slightly as she slowly pushed it open and slipped into the office. Professor Xavier sat in his wheel chair behind his desk and in the chair across from him was just who Damia had expected it to be. He was tall and muscular, a fighter. His dark hair formed a scruffy beard on his face and his dark eyes were hard and cold.

"Ah, Damia." Professor Xavier's voice filled the room with its usual cheeriness. "I'd like you to meet one of the people you helped to rescue yesterday. This is Logan." Damia looked back to the man sitting across the from the Professor and gave him a slight smile. Logan just looked at her and turned back to the Professor.

"You're telling me a kid was there too?" His dark eyes glinted as he stared at the Professor. Damia could only roll her eyes at being called a "kid" again.

"Damia, here is one of our most talented students," said Professor X, his voice full of pride. "She has an influence over the four elements and... other things." He winked at Damia who smiled at him. "She'll show you around and make sure you're comfortable."

Gee, thanks Prof. Stick me with the grouch. Damia thought, momentarily forgetting that Professor X could read minds. She heard his laughter in his head as she lead Logan out of the room. They walked down a hall in silence, Damia leading the way. Finally she looked at him over her shoulder and shook her head. If only I could hold up a one-on-one conversation.

"I suppose you want to see your friend?" She asked as she led him towards the recreation room. Looking over her shoulder she saw him nod and they continued their silent walk.

Upon entering the rec. room Damia heard the gleeful shout of a girl. Looking up she saw the girl run over to Logan. Politely, Damia left the two to their reunion and joined her fellow teenage mutants.

"Hey," said Bobby as he flopped onto the couch in front of the TV. He was quite attractive with his sandy hair and brilliant blue eyes. "I take it you're on tour duty?"

Damia nodded. "Yeah, I've been here a whole week and I'm on tour duty. Babysitting Oscar the Grouch over there," she jerked her thumb in the direction of Logan, "is what I've always wanted to do."

Bobby laughed and looked over Damia's shoulder. "Yeah, well Rogue is pretty hot." It was Damia's turn to laugh.

"Rogue? She's been here two days and you've given her a nickname while I've been here a week and all I get is 'kid.'" Damia teased him. "You must really like her." Bobby flushed and looked away while another boy laughed as he approached. Damia looked up to see Pyro approaching and she closed her eyes, wishing to anywhere but in that room.

"I got a nickname for you," Pyro said as he sat down on the arm of the couch. "It's a great one, too"

Damia rolled her eyes before asking, "And what would it be?"

Pyro stood up, smiling at her. "My girlfriend." And there it was. The bad pick up line, one of the many he had been trying to use on her for the past week.

The laughter she tried to supress almost spilled out as she turned her back to the two boys. "I'll catch you guys later." She called over her shoulder as she joined Logan again and led him off.

The metal door flew open and he entered the room, the graying sitting at the desk looked up and smiled.

"Did you get what I asked for, Sabretooth," asked the man who sat at the desk as the larger man stepped forward.

Sabretooth laid a dog-tag on the desk with the name "Wolverine" on it. The gray haired man picked it up and examined it. The he looked back to the shaggy man in front of him, noticing he looked a little uneasy.

"They have a new one, Magneto." Sabretooth's voice was as horrid as his face. It was a low growl and one had to strain to understand it. "A girl who controls the elements."

The man known as Magneto eyed his henchman while he pondered this news. Looking into the black eyes of the cat-man he thought of this new member. "Does she have potential?" When Sabretooth confirmed it Magneto nodded somberly. A new mutant with potential could help if he could convince her to join his ranks. At the same time she would be aiding the X-men in their fight against the Brotherhood.

"Toad!" Shouted Magneto as he reached his decision. A young man with a greenish hue to his skin walked into the room a minute later. Magneto looked him over, he had a green-brown hair and large eyes that were almost black. "Toad, I need you to go to the X-mansion and... take care of something for me."
