Starrr: Thank you I've been meaning to write an X-Men fan fiction for ages but school has been getting in the way with exams. If you couldn't tell by the story I'm from Australia. It's easier to write an OC when you make them come from a place you understand so it was either here or England.
The Southern Bell: I just read your story, it's good and since you were the first to suggest one I'll use it.
Itg: That's a good idea I was a bit hesitant about doing it because a lot of OC's around seem to have that sort of power but I'll try and incorporate something along those lines maybe as a secondary mutation? We'll see...

Chapter 2:
Professor Charles Xavier looked at the pale jetlagged teenager in front of him obviously it wasn't his best idea to send Logan to pick up Scott and the new student Kiana. "I'm afraid I must apologize for Logan's driving with his healing factor he doesn't seem to think he needs to abide by the road rules." He said sincerely. Kiana smiled and nodded politely. "I know you must be tired but there are a few things we must discuss." Xavier explained, "It won't take more than a minute."
"It's okay; after...er-Logan's...driving I doubt I'm capable of sleeping at the moment no matter how tired I am."
"Yes I suppose Logan's driving would have that effect. There is really only one question I need ask you..."
"What's my mutation?" She interrupted and he nodded. "I can control electricity." She explained turning towards the lamp on his desk. She repeatedly taped a finger on her thigh and the lamp flickered on and off then turning to an electrical plug she held out her hand a bolt of electricity shot out and sat in her hand. She closed her hand her eyes crackled with the electricity for a second and when she reopened her palm it was gone.

Kiana was unpacking her belonging's when the door was opened and girls poured into it they called out Hi to her before congregating on the bed closest to the door. "Don't worry about them." Rogue said seating herself on Kiana's bed. She had entered with the others but didn't seem to want to socialise with them. "They have their own little clique."
Kiana looked over at them, "They seem a little prepish." This was very true as all of them were wearing different clothes but looked scarily similar. Rogue nodded agreeing with her,
"You never told me what your mutation is." Rogues said giving her a curious glance as she finished putting her clothes in the draw under her bed.
"I control electricity and can store it in my body. What's yours?" Kiana asked sitting down at the head of her bed.
"Oh I absorb people's life force and mutants powers through skin to skin contact. Do you want me to give you the Grand Tour?" She asked quickly changing the topic.

Dinner at the institute went rather smoothly and Scott couldn't help but watch Kiana, who was seated with Rogue and Bobby. After the rocky start with Rogue they seemed to be getting along well but from the few bits and pieces of information about her personality he had gathered in the week in Australia he could tell that she was rather cynical and sarcastic naturally so it probably hadn't been anything personal.
"When I spoke with Kiana's father he expressed the wish that she continue with the same subjects as she was studying in Australia. She'll be joining in with your Senior Biology and My Literature Class but she has 2 different subjects from the one's we offer here." The professor said following his line of sight.
"And what subjects would they be?"
"Classical Studies and Philosophy, I'll be taking over those lessons." He said before turning back to Ororo. His eyebrows furrowed over his glasses Philosophy was not a subject a 17 year old girl would normally study. He also wondered why the professor was taking such an interest in this girl the professor had always had an affinity for the subject but that wasn't the reason. The professor was up to something and he whished he knew what.

Kiana found herself the next day in biology with Mr Summers. She looked around the class and everyone was giving him their undivided attention. It was really rather scary,
"Kiana could you tell me the stages of Mitosis?" He asked and she looked at him in shock.
"Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Interphase." She rattled off and his eyes rose over his glasses.
"Very good. Although I would suggest paying attention." He reproached her and she blushed. Scott was rather impressed, Mitosis was first taught in year 11 but he wasn't so far past his own school-going days that he forgot that as soon as the subject and exams were over you forgot everything.
Scott branched off into the explanation of what each phase did and Kiana let her mind wander. 'Mutant High' as Rogue had called it was a weird place and at the moment Kiana felt much like Alice must have when she'd stepped through the looking glass.
