I do not own the X-Men, yadda yadda yadda.....

BTW = ... means the professor is transmitting thoughts. okeyday onto the story now!

Alexandra limped toward the black Mercedes and the red hed helped her to sit down. Alexandra suddenly, realizing she was in a strange car, bolted upright and gazed around looking at the people sitting there. There was a bald man sitting in the drivers seat, looking at her through the rearview mirror. Alexandra said quietly, "Who are you, and where am I?" '

It's okay, Alexandra. We are friends.

Alexandra must have jumped a foot high. This guy was talking in her head! Had she seen him before....at the asylum maybe? The other door opened and the redhead got into the car, smiling at her. She was wearing a sort of black catsuit, with a black belt with a yellow X on it. odd....this wasn't the sort of outfit you would be wearing everyday. Maybe everyone wore them here, minus the hotel lady and the cab driver. You never know with the Americans, always dressing up in strange clothes. The only American clothes Alexandra saw was the asylum guard and doctor clothes.

"Hey. I'm Jean. This is Professor Xavier, our teacher. We're going to take you to our home. It's a nice place. You'll really like it." Alexandra smiled weakly at the redhead, before clutching her head in pain. She saw the professor put the Mercedes in drive and headed off.

Xavier was slowly searching the girl's mind to see who she was and what her mutation was. Cerebro had only told him that the girl was a mutant and where she was. It didn't say what exactly her mutation was. Suddenly, he came upon a memory........a memory of fire and smoke...."PROFESSOR! LOOK OUT!" bbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp!! A car swerved around the Mercedes, which had apparently drifted into the other lane. The Professor jerked the car back on the road and shook his head, clearing his thoughts. Jean clutched the Professor's shoulder and asked him, "Professor? Are you okay?" "Yes, yes, I'm fine Jean. I'm sorry, I got a little...." he glanced in the rearview mirror at the girl, "...sidetracked." Jean looked at the Professor skeptically and sat back down in her seat.

Xavier was still troubled by the memory that he saw. It reminded him strangely of what Kurt told him the other day....and then he knew. That's it! he cried in his head. That's it!

The Professor pulled into a great big mansion that actually was quite pretty amidst all the rain and mud. Alexandra couldn't help but gasp at the immense SIZE of the place. It was huge! She had never seen anything like it before. There was a fountain with an angel poised delicatly in the center which was currently dry. There was a terrific view of the harbor and a beautiful garden. Surely one man and this girl (was she his daughter?) could not take care of such a place all by themselves. It was simply impossible, as this place was so big.

Xavier smiled at the girl's sudden gasp. She marveled at his home and school and he was instantly proud of it. Jean grabbed the girl and helped her out of the car. Alexandra wrapped her arms around herself, shivering with the cold and the pain. She, Jean and the Professor walked (or rather, the Professor wheeled) toward the house and they came to the front steps. Alexandra took a deep breathe and paused, uncertain of what exactly she was doing. Jean started to walk up the steps and turned around to look at her. "Hey, you okay?" she asked. Alexandra looked at Jean, the rain soaking her beautiful face. "Yea, yea I'm okay. It's just.....I've been through a lot...." Jean frowned and came down the steps to help her.

Meanwhile

Kurt had been lounging in the kitchen, talking and laughing with his friends. Evan had been doing impressions of different people at school, to which Kurt thought this was very funny. See, he had never been to school, but he was laughing at the goofy immitations. Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning shot out of the sky and thunder crashed, shaking the whole house. Kurt heard a noise upstairs and bamfed up there to check it out.

He opened his bedroom door and saw that his window had blasted open and rain was pouring into the window. He closed the window and then saw the Professor and Jean coming back with someone. Kurt opened his door and started to walk down the stairs. So, a new person had arrived. Another mutant, Kurt guessed. That was the only kind of people that were brought here, besides parents of the kids. The Professor opened the door and wheeled in. Jean came in after him with a very disheveled and bleeding blonde. Kurt paused for a moment, and the girl lifted her head slightly.

"LIEBE!!"
