And please give a review, as I love to hear what you think about each chapter and say if there's any need for improvement! I hope everyone enjoys it as I enjoyed writing it. In this chapter the X-men go to see two new mutants in West Yorkshire, England.
Chapter 1: The West Yorkshire Shape Shifter
The Institute was unusually quiet on Saturday morning. Everyone was sleeping in except for the Professor and Logan. Logan was reading the newspaper while the Professor was watching T.V.
"Hey Professor, there's an article here about a shape shifter in England. 14-year-old girl was kidnapped by a school gang from her school in West Yorkshire two weeks ago, and has attended court for her kidnappers trail. Her kidnappers have been sentenced 1 year in prison. The young girl relived her kidnapping to a news crew after the trail. "My boyfriend had come to rescue me the second night of my kidnapping. But as soon as he untied me one of the gang members woke up and shouted that I had escaped. Soon my boyfriend was fighting two of the gang member while I was fighting the leader. We were a huge platform above these huge tanks of what looked like chemicals, though I wondered what they were doing there in a London warehouse. But as we neared the edge the leader slipped and knocked herself out, falling off the edge. I grabbed her, but I didn't have the strength to pulls her up, my boyfriend was still fighting the other two. So I put the rest of my strength into one huge swing and swung her onto the platform, leaving me hanging there over the platform. My boyfriend had finally knocked out the other two, but my hand slipped before he got to me and I went falling into one of the huge tanks. I blacked out before I even hit the surface of the chemical. When I woke up I found myself in a bed in hospital." The girl's boyfriend then came to take the girl back home. A few days after the trail the girl had to go for a blood test, the scientists found that the girl's DNA had been changed by the chemical, and the girl's now known as the West Yorkshire Shape Shifter." Logan read from the newspaper. The Professor looked at Logan with an interested look.
"I think we should go see this young West Yorkshire Shape Shifter, don't you?" The Professor said as Logan went down the hallway.

Soon the Professor had rounded up a few of the X-men. Logan, Kitty, Kurt, Pyro, Remy, Rogue, Scott and Jean were waiting in the hanger. The Professor entered the hanger, with Hank McCoy.
"Now I want you to know that we'll be meeting these two mutants at their school in West Yorkshire. So please try not to startle the students there, we'll be arriving there at 3:30pm, which should hopefully be when students are leaving for home. I sent an e-mail to one of the mutants to meet us and show us where we can land." Professor explained to the X-men before getting on board the Velocity. Soon everyone was buckled in and were flying to England.

4 hours later, the Velocity was flying over the two mutant's school. Kurt spotted the two mutants waving like crazy on a huge concrete playground. The playground had been cleared and people were standing at the edges, watching the Velocity land. As the X-men and the Professor got off the two mutants, one of them had wings and was flying over, the other running, came over to greet the X-men.
"Wow! Just look at all these kids!" Kitty squealed as she looked around at the students who were watching them.
The mutant flying landed and the other stood behind her huffing and puffing from running.
"Hi, welcome to West Yorkshire. I'm ShadowFax the West Yorkshire Shape Shifter, I'm sorry but I don't give out my real name anymore, everyone's started calling me ShadowFax anyways. This is Jak, my boyfriend." The one with wings said pointing beside her at the boy, who was trying to get his breath back from running.
ShadowFax was in school uniform and so was Jak. But then she suddenly shape shifted and was wearing casual clothes. Jak on the other hand, frowned and looked like he wished he could change into his casual clothes right now. ShadowFax had white skin and black hair down to her shoulders; her casual clothes were all black. Everyone was staring at Jak because his appearance was most unusual. His ears were 30cm long and his hair was long and green, turning to yellow half way down. Jak finally got his breath back and shook everyone's hands in turn too.
After ShadowFax and Jak had introduced themselves, ShadowFax's wings retreated into her back.
"I asked my parents if I could come back with you and they said it was ok. I was surprised my parents said yes!" ShadowFax explained before sending vines from her body and picking up about four suitcases.
"What about your parents Jak?" The Professor asked.
"Err.........I don't have any parents. I've been living on my own in an apartment." Jak said looking away, before grabbing his own suitcases. Many of the X-men looked sadly at Jak, Jak just shrugged and smiled before looking towards the school. The Professor frowned before turning to get board the Velocity. Some of the teachers came out to watch with the students, a teacher walked up to ShadowFax and Jak.
"ShadowFax! Wait! I want you to have this, I didn't expect you to leave. Take it as a going away present." The teacher said as she handed a wrapped parcel to ShadowFax.
"Thanks." ShadowFax said and smiled at the teacher, the teacher smiled back. The teacher walked off to the sidelines so she could watch the Velocity
ShadowFax carried her suitcases into the Velocity and placed them carefully before her as she sat down. Jak was dragging two rather large and heavy suitcases with such ease it surprised Kitty, Kurt and Rogue. Jak then let go of them as he sat down next to ShadowFax.
Soon everyone was on board and the Velocity took off, leaving many school pupils staring after it and waving goodbye.
