X-Men 3: A Crystal Revealed

Author's Note:
Ok, no reviews yet! Hmmm... maybe there were too many stories about Jean Grey... Maybe I should have picked someone else... Oh well, I started it already so it's ok! I'll continue it! Ok, so the name 'Crystal' is not really creative but at least it's better then something unbearable boring, isn't it:) Anyways, I watched X-Men one and two (the movie) so I got all the details and names I need:) Well, enjoy the nest chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men so I don't own the characters as well! But I do own Crystal and any other characters I created!


The Newcomer

"Do not be afraid, I will not hurt you," the man on the wheel chair spoke. Crystal hesitated and looked around.

The hall they were walking through was mostly made of wood, with extra furniture around the place, neatly stacked and ready for use.

"I-I am not afraid. I am just... a bit nervous and—"Crystal cut off painfully. She couldn't bear to think that Aunt Jean was actually gone from her life. Yes, Jean's death was very saddening. But her death was not in vain. She had helped us from death, a voice spoke in her mind and Crystal jumped with shock.

She glanced around the hallway and then realized that the man in the wheel chair had talked to her in her mind. "Yes, I can read thoughts from people and telepath thoughts to them as well. And I could do much more," the man in the wheel chair spoke.

"My name is Professor Charles Xavier. Nice to meet you, Crystal Jones." Crystal was surprised. She had never thought that everyone in this place had abilities similar to her.

"Hello... I suppose you know my name now but I'll say it anyway. My name is Crystal Jones. I'm Aunt Jean's niece," Crystal introduced herself. Professor Xavier smiled and Crystal was comforted.

Crystal looked around again and wondered. Was this really a school? she thought with awe.

"Umm... Is this a school? A-Aunt Jean said it was," she replied, her Aunt's name, tears welling up in her eyes again. Professor Xavier nodded softly.

"Indeed, this is a school. It is a school I had made for all the young people who have special abilities. I help develop those skills so the children can use those for all sorts of purposes. For example, your ability, Crystal. I can help improve that ability very well," Professor Xavier spoke and smiled at Crystal. Crystal smiled back and saw from one of the windows that the sun was coming up.

"Well, I suppose you are tired so you must rest. Oh Storm, hello! This is Crystal," Professor Xavier spoke as a woman with white hair and light brown skin walked towards them. She was watching them with a warm smile.

"Hello Crystal, my name is Storm," the woman with white hair spoke and grinned at Crystal, whose eyes lit up brightly.

"Hello!" Crystal spoke and blushed.

"Storm, please will you bring Crystal to a spare room?" Professor Xavier spoke and Storm nodded.

"Sure Professor!" Storm said with a smile and softly took Crystal's hand. Professor Xavier smiled back and said, "Thank you Storm."

Then he said farewell to Crystal and Storm and was off. "So where did you come from?" Storm said. "I came from Boston."

Storm looked surprised. "Really? Did you come alone?" Crystal nodded. "Wow, your one tough one! You'll probably like Logan then, he's quite a nice guy," Storm said. She reminds me of Jean…she thought.

"Oh I've met him. He was a nice guy. Umm... were you a friend of Jean Grey?" Crystal said and tried not to wince while saying her aunt's name. "Yes, I was. She was my best friend. Did you know her?" Storm said. Crystal nodded. "Yes, I did. S-She was my Aunt…" Storm looked at Crystal with shock yet again.

"Oh my gosh, really? Well, I'm sorry. You must be very sorrowful for her passing away... I had loved her so much as well..." Crystal smiled weakly. They were just now twisting through a corner in the hall. "Thank you..." she spoke faintly.

Storm looked at the door right next to them. "Oh we're here! Well, I have to go now. Here's you room. Remember, its number 340. You're roommates are Rogue and Bobby. Goodnight, well, sort of!" she spoke with a grin.

"Thank you very much!" Crystal said as Storm walked away, waving. Crystal opened the door to her room and found that there were about four beds. A girl with black hair and a streak of white hair glanced at Crystal.

"Oh! Hey! I wasn't expecting anyone here! Oh well, never mind!" she spoke and smiled. Crystal smiled and introduced herself. When she told her she was Jean Grey's niece, the girl, who was called Rogue, she gasped in shock as well.

"Oh, is that true?" Crystal nodded sorrowfully. Rogue felt sorry for the girl. She had known Jean Grey, her teacher and one of the X-Men crew, who had the ability to levitate and move objects. She also had the ability to read other people's minds.

"Aunt Jean had told me about this school so I came here. I had no where else to go. My mother was just some person, who I barely thought I knew her anymore, and my father was a rich man who liked to hit on me all the time," Crystal said. Rogue nodded her head, understanding what Crystal was feeling.

"Yeah, I know that feeling. I've been in a situation similar to that," Rogue answered. While they were talking to each other, sitting on top of Rogue's bed, asking what they liked and what the school was like, they heard the door open to reveal guy. The guy looked at Crystal with surprise.

"Hey Bobby! This is Crystal! Crystal, this is Bobby, my boyfriend," she explained. "I've seen her," Bobby spoke and with that, smiled at Crystal. "Where?" Rogue said, looking a bit confused. Crystal was thinking of the same thing.

"I saw Crystal when she came here," Bobby said with a smile.

"Oh, alright," Rogue spoke. Bobby looked at Crystal and with a curious looking expression, he asked, "Crystal, what kind of ability do you have? I heard Logan say you were a mutant."

Crystal grimaced. She didn't really like revealing her powers to people but after all, she was in a Mutant School. I can use it and talk about it all I liked! She thought with a grin.

"Well, I have two abilities. The first ability I have allows me to not touch anyone's flesh. Without something to guard my touch, I can't touch anyone. This ability is something I can't control and probably never will be able to. My second ability is to read all the memories and everything in one's heart. I can find out everything about someone's heart, how they act and how they lived their lives with one blink of an eye," Crystal explained and grinned. She touched her hands and looked at them, all pearly white.

"Wow, that's something. Me, I can freeze anything I want. Rogue can absorb someone's or something's energy by touching them," Bobby explained.

Rogue grinned with excitement. She was excited of meeting a person with two abilities. The only people who had those were some of the X-Men crew, who were Logan and Jean and many others.

"Yes, well, you might call me a ghost. This is one gift I would rather not have," Crystal said solemnly. She didn't like her touch going through everybody she tried to touch, nor did she like going through someone's heart by accident. She always had to wear a glove in order to touch someone and had to be careful when she talked to people.

"If I tried to touch you, would my hands go through you?" Rogue asked. Crystal nodded.

"Would you mind if I try it?" Rogue spoke and looked at Crystal. "Sure."

Rogue came closer and tried to touch Crystal's hand. Her own hand went through Crystal's, as if Crystal was water in human shape. It was icy cold when Rogue took away her hand from Crystal's. Bobby was looking at the two with wide eyes.

"Wow that is so cool..."

"Well, maybe I might be able to do much cooler things if I learn how to control them properly, if I ever could," Crystal replied and grinned at Rogue. This was some journey… Crystal thought with a smile.


A figure stood on top of the edge of the mountain, away from the roaring Alkali Lake.

The figure was cloaked in black, so the figures face could be unseen. Particles of snow poured gently onto the figure.

The figure could not see anything that seemed to tell that the lab existed.

"Dammit..." he muttered and snarled curses angrily under his breath.

What am I gonna do now? He thought with frustration.

The figure struggled to control himself and then concentrated all his power on his ability.

He closed his eyes and he pressed both his fingers together. After he finished concentrating, he pressed his right finger deeply into the snow.

The ground shuddered, as if it was about to have an earthquake. White light was powering from his finger which edged deeper into the snow.

Then the figure opened his eyes and an evil looking grin seemed to curl onto his face.

"Jean Grey... Crystal Jones... The X-Men... Xavier..." he murmured random words and moved back, away from the edge of the mountain, towards his car, where the figure had some business to do.
