Chapter 4: Light Beyond Darkness
PLEASE Read and Review! This is my first X-Men fic and I would like to know what people think. I hope that you will not turn away from it because it contains OC's. If you do it's your loss, but this is not your ordinary X-Men Evolution fic.

Charles Xavier sat across from Andrea. He had picked up Andrea's activities on Cerebro and rushed with Storm to help immediately. Now they sat in the living room of her house.
Andrea sat in an easy chair with her head down and her eyes closed. She had long stopped crying but could not stop shaking. All she could think of was Asher.
"Andrea, I know this is extremely difficult for you. With all that happened to your brother, I can understand that you are frightened. But don't worry, this can all work out." Xavier said.
Andrea drew up her knees and hugged them. How could it possibly work out in any way? She could not even trust herself to move for fear that she might unleash the water again. Even her shaking caused the glass of water on the coffee table to shiver.
"I have a school in Westchester. It's a school for children like you. I teach them how to control and develop their gifts. They go to regular school but they train at my mansion." He held up his hand before she protested. "I know that when your brother gained his ability to control fire your parents tired to send him to a "home" of some sort, but this is nothing like that. All the children are like you, and so am I, so we understand what you are going through."
Andrea looked up for the first time, and her shaking calmed. Light in a dark room. A single star shining in a dark and stormy night. The professor was right, everything would work out.
She extended a hand to the man in the wheel chair. "Call me Andie."
