Arrival

The six X-teens were greeting new students as they arrived. So far nine were in the foyer visiting and getting to know each other. Ororo and Xavier were talking to the parents while Logan had left to pick up another student.

After the parents left, Ororo gathered everyone together and started her speech on why they had been chosen and that their mutations were gifts to be appreciated, yet were a great responsibility.

Mulan and Logan entered during this part. He gestured that he would be right back and that she should join the others. She merely nodded and, after he left, moved into a dark corner.

When Ororo finished everyone started talking at once and, much to Mulan's surprise, some even used their powers. Kurt noticed her in the corner and ported to Jean and Rogue. Jean was shocked that she had not telepathically picked up on the girl's presence, but decided that she was another telepath. Jean was about to introduce herself when she saw that the girl had a look of complete distrust.

Rogue, however, went ahead and introduced herself. "Hi, Am Rogue." She held her gloved hand out, but when her blonde counterpart didn't return the gesture she ran it through her hair.

"Mulan," Mulan said, never taking her eyes from the crowd.

"Mulan, well, it's nice to meet ya."

Mulan simply nodded. Rogue followed her gaze to Even who was showing off his spikes to a group. "Don't worry, he just likes to show off."

"Easy to tell. Sorry," she turned to Rogue, "Can you tell me where Xavier is?"

"Sure follow me."

As they crossed the room all, eyes landed on Mulan. She never looked around, never seemed to notice anything or one around her.

Rogue led her into the library, made quick introductions and left.

"Mulan, it's nice to see you again." Charles wheeled to her. She simply nodded. "I understand that you've had a long trip and would like to rest." (Rogue, please stay close so you can show her to her room.) he telepathically asked Rogue.

(Yes sir.) she replied.

Charles then held out a key. "Here is the key to your room. Rogue will show you where it is, and don't worry about introductions tonight. That can wait till the morning."

"Thank you, Professor," Mulan made a small bow before exiting.

"Ready?" Rogue asked.

"Yes."

As they made their way, Rogue noticed that the other walked beside her, with her instead of following.

"So, ya've been here before, huh?"

"You could say that."

"So, what can you do?"

"What do you mean?" Mulan glanced at her.

Rogue was taken aback when she saw that Mulan's eyes were black.

"Oh, you've noticed."

"Ahm sorry, it's just…"

"Don't worry about it. I…living among humans all mutants have things to hide."

"Skeleton's exist in everyone's closet."

Both smiled and continued.
