Chapter three

Lauren and Ann were amazed at what Jean had said. They had sometimes hoped that there were other gifted individuals, but they had never even thought of the possibility of a entire school of mutants, teaching and training them, in both there talents and normal stuff. There would be no teasing, no taunting, people would be proud of there talents. Of course Jean wanted to see their powers, and so did Lauren and Ann want to see Jean's power. Ann went up first. Ann had been practicing hard, diligently ignoring other important things like homework, and she almost had the hang of it. She closed her eyes and concentrated, thinking for chaos, black flames. Slowly, her nails began to grow, her ears pointed, her eyes began to change to a yellow hue, and a black flame followed this on her nails.

"Interesting, it seems you are some sort of fiery creature." Jean said looking at ever detail of Ann's body, and a bit of envy came over when she noted Ann's figure. "You defiantly belong at our institute. Now for your friend, Lauren was it?" Jean asked.

Lauren nodded, jumping up. Jean noticed that her figure was very different from Ann's. Lauren was shorter, had broader shoulders, and not very large hips, with very large brown hair. Lauren looked around. "You see, I don't have as much control over my talent as Ann, but here goes." She concentrated, and looked around, confused. "What should I hit?" Jean offered, confused. Lauren's hair started to flow, and suddenly Jean felt this hard something, maybe a push, on her chest. She found it hard to still stand, and fell to her knees. Her eyes widen when she discovered there was nothing between her and the girls.

"Wow, what was that?" Jean asked, eyes widen with surprised.

"I can manipulate the air to my choosing." Lauren smiled. "Now what's your power?"

"I am psychic and telekinetic. What do you want me to do?"

"Clean my room." Lauren said, jokingly. Which made it all the more surprising when all of the clothes started to fold themselves, the pieces of paper that were scattered flew into a neat little pile, all the clothes formed a pile, the bed made itself. Everything was neat and clean. Lauren got giddy. Ann was envious. Lets just say her room, there was no floor, there was just clothes, everywhere.

"So, are you impressed?" Jean said, knowing by the looks on their faces that they were definitely. She pressed the speed dial on her cell phone, and waited for the professor to pick up.

"Hello Jean."

"Hello professor. I think that we have two more students."

"Good, now Storm is coming in with the other one, he was a bit difficult to persuade, but I want you to be there. See a friendly face. Imagine if Logan was the first thing he saw. That would be bad."

"Oh yes, that would be very very bad. Well, should I take them in the jet?"

"Sure. By the way, what are there powers?"

"Air manipulation and fiery creature."

"Good. Well I have pressing matters to attend to. Goodbye" and with that, the professor hung up.

Looking out the window, both Lauren and Ann were amazed at what they saw. Zooming past clouds, in the sleek black jet. They had hundreds of questions they wanted to ask Jean, but somehow, they just couldn't speak. Jean, being annoyed with this silence, began to talk to them.

"So when did you guys discover your powers?" Jean put her hand on her chin, intrigued.

"I discovered it about a month ago. I was having a nightmare, I was burning up in bed, and when I woke up, I found that my hand ached with heat, but nothing was there. I tried to run it under cold water, but the water evaporated. Then suddenly my hand ignited with this deep black flame. I didn't go back to asleep that day, and even stayed home that day." Ann said with a sigh. She had called her mom, and they had a heated argument about her visiting the school, the final argument that convinced her mother was that she would out of her hair for two days. Lauren's parents were ok with it, as long as Lauren called them when she arrived.

"I discovered mine around the same time. One day, I was staring at an evil vase that my grandmother got me, and wishing that it would break, and it broke. I managed to convince my parents that I had tripped and broken it on accident. I've been experimenting, Ann more than I, but I'm getting used to it. How about you? You seem 18ish, did your discover your powers around our age, 14?"

"Yeah, I had quite a time getting some peace and quiet afterwards, being psychic and all. The professor found me, and taught me to control my power. The professor is the head of the institute." Jean said, guessing the question ahead of time. "He found you with a machine called Cerebro, which can find mutants. I don't understand it myself, but it has something to do with expanding his power, and he sense where the mutants are."

"Spiffy." Lauren replied, completely not understanding the topic at all. She shrugged. "How long will it be till we get there?"

"We are almost there. So, are there any boys in your life?" This intrigued Jean, she was always interested in the love life of others.

"No one really." Both girls said with a sigh. There were no decent boys at there school, or else the popular girls took them all, it looks like Jean could go with the popular girls, but she seemed nice enough right now. They hoped that she didn't turn out like all the girls at their school. A bad taste formed in both of the girl's mouths. "The question is though, are there any good boys are your school?" Lauren said, hopeful.

"Well, there is Scott, but he is a little old for you girls. Hmm, Spyke is immature, Kurt, well he seems nice but he is desperately in love with Kitty, Multiply is annoying and young, iceman, hmm, blonde, seems nice. There is one more guy coming in, I haven't seen him, I'm suppose to be there when he wakes up, don't ask. No one has actually seen him. Hmm, I think he is around your age." Jean said, her voice drifting off into that blue night sky.

Lauren and Ann sighed. They both looked at each other, then themselves, and sighed again. They both viewed themselves as not the most attractive they could be, although some may have disagreed with that comment. Lauren turned to her old habit of breaking silences, poking Ann in the stomach. Which got Ann giggling, which made Jean listen.

"So, we have a few minutes till we get to the institute, I most warn you, your about to see some ….. odd things, for example, Logan, if he is there, can shot metal claws out of his wrist, Scott is forced to wear ruby sunglasses, Multiply can create copies of himself, Kitty can walk through walls, Kurt, if he doesn't have his holographic is a fuzzy blue elf, and he can teleport, and Spyke can form wooden spikes from his body. Oh look, we arrived." Jean said, looking out the window.
