Hey! This was a quickie because I decided that I need to have fun with what I got. In this chap. I will bring in some of our favorites. Thanks for sticking with my strange ways. Yours always! D. Laura…. Oh, by the way, most of this story is in Helen's view. You might get it in Author's view once in a while.


I was getting angry at myself by the time I reached the voices. When I walked into the room I noticed all the kids sitting around. I was never one for crowds, but I could tell these kids were like me or were once like me, scared. I walked towards the TV while they were silently watching me. I started to feel nervous but I tried to relax, knowing that if I didn't I would loose the little control I had. I brushed the stray brown hair from my eyes and sat down. Once I was settled everyone went back to what they were doing before I entered the room.

The girl who was sitting next to me was still staring at me though, but I took no notice as I watched the Discovery Channel. Finally, she spoke up. "What's your name?" judging from her voice she was around 11 and was very nervous. She had light blue eyes that just glowed with innocence and dark brown hair that was pulled into a high ponytail. I guessed that she like me was new here but she seemed to have made a friend out of the older kids.

"My name is Helen. What's your name?" She smiled when I finally spoke and took on a more relaxed air. She glanced at the older girl who sat next to her. The older girl had lighter brown hair with what looked from this light to be white streaks in the front.

"My name is Emmy and this is Rouge. Rouge likes Bobby. He is studying right now so she came over to watch TV with me." The way she was acting I guessed she didn't talk to many people much. She did have a very sheltered look about her and looking closer I noticed she was very confused about something.

Rouge stood up and walked over to the French doors that led outside. "What's up with her? Emmy, can you show me around? I am really new here and I don't know were everything is. The professor also hasn't told me where my room will be." Emmy looked from the TV to me curiously. She nodded her head and took my hand leading me towards the door I came through. As we walked by all the games and tables I noticed all the different people, the way they dressed and the way they moved.

Emmy showed me the classes, the kitchen, the dinning room the adults used, her room, the gym, the stables, and the Zen garden. She introduced me to several of the kids and an adult. The adult names were Scott. I thought that Scott had this sad but "I am more important than you" air about him. We bumped into him as we were ending our tour. When he saw me he gave me this look that said "follow me, now." So I obliged him and followed him back to the professor's office. "You are Helen, right? The professor sent me to the recreation hall but they all said you left with Miss Locklynn. Logan was also looking for you but he gave up two hours ago. Ororo said that you manipulated Logan and walked right out. Logan said that he felt like he didn't care about you or what happened."

I started to feel bad about leaving when I remembered what I had been thinking about when Logan moved out of my way. If he doesn't care he will move out of my way. But I didn't purposely manipulate Logan. God, I hate my powers! I kept on thinking about what happened till we reached the office. "Come in. Scott, please leave us. Helen what is your last name? We can't reach your parents at the number at the home you lived in."

Professor Xavier looked me over as I sat there in front of his desk. "My parents are dead. My last name is DePree. I was living with some friends. I graduated high school last year. My roommate is also a mutant who can turn invisible. She was at work when you guys came and got me. Her name is Alicia Briggs." I had stopped looking at the professor as I said this. I could tell he was still trying to figure me out.

"Do you have some kind of job you were interested in? I would be more than happy to indorse you." I thought about it for a second then remembered what Alicia and I had been talking about the night before. She said she wanted to go teach at a really nice school that was in New York.

"I want to teach. I want to teach high school Algebra. I think I would enjoy that. Maybe I could teach here? I want to stay and learn to control my powers more." I was looking the professor straight in the eye and I knew that this was a good idea. I would be a great teacher. I liked to talk about mathematical theories and all that stuff, so maybe he would let me be an assistant teacher here.

"How about you assist Ororo in her classes? She is the Algebra teacher and I am sure she wouldn't mind." When he suggested that I smiled really brightly and thanked him. He told me that for now I would share a room with two other girls, but he said he would get me my own room soon, understanding that I have some very strong powers that could kill anyone near me.


A/N: That was a very weird chapter for me. I would like to thank mm4ever2gether. Thanks for your reviews.
