X-Men, I need you in my office at once. I need to tell you something of great importance.
Within 5 minutes, all the X-Men came into the office.
"What's wrong Professor?" Scott said with worry in his voice.
"Nothing, just sit down I have to tell you all something."
When every chair was filled and Tricia was by this time standing, and everyone was staring at her wondering who she was, Professor cleared his throat and made his announcement.
"Everyone this is Tricia, and I would like to say that she is going to be staying with us for about 2 or 3 weeks, or until her group gets home from their mission." He said with great pride in his voice that it almost sounded like she was his daughter.
"This is Scott Summers also known as Cyclops," with a small wave and a nod Scott said his hello. The Professor went on. "This is Bobby Drake, also known as Iceman; this is Marie, also known as Rogue," both of them saying hi. "This is Ororo Monroe, also known as Storm; this is Jean Gray," both of them saying a warm hello. "This is Kurt Wagner, also known as Nightcrawler; this is Doctor Henri McCoy, also known as Beast," Both giving a very warm hand shack and 'hello'. "This is Warren Wortington III, also known as ArchAngel; this is Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat." Both of them saying their hellos in a nice, yet looking at her as if she was not meant to be there. "This is Peter Rasputin, also known as Colossus. This is Jubilation Lee, also known as Jubilee," both giving very friendly 'hellos'. "This is Remy LeBeau, also known as Gambit; and this is Logan, also known as Wolverine," Remy kissing her hand and Logan shaking her hand with his massive hand.
"Hi. So are you a Mutant?" Scott said finally knowing that the Professor was down with what he was saying.
"No." Tricia said very shortly
"You said that you were on a team, or that you were waiting for your team." He went on being the leader that he was.
"Yes, well, it's kinda hard. I've been living in Austin, Texas for the past 9 months or so. I left them, I needed a break, but now we, meaning the team, have left what we were doing. We are now going to be doing things a lot like what you guys do, expect a little different. Am I the only one that is really confused?" Tricia said is a slight laugh at herself, and a worried smile hoping that she didn't just screw herself up.
"Kinda," Bobby said. "So are you not a mutant?"
"Yeah, well no, well, I am something different. I am more powerful then a Mutant can be. I am a Goddess in a different world. A world separate from this one, I am though human, I was born in California, so all in all I am American." Looking at all the confused faces that were staring at her, she started to feel a little uneasy with the situation that was at head.
"I'm confused, am I the only one that is confused here." Bobby started to get a little agitated with the situation as well.
"Calm down Bobby," Remy said looking at Tricia with confusion in his eyes, but her was still looking at her with the same beauty that he had when she rode up. "There be a lot of tings in dis world dat we don' know bout. Dis just happen' ta be one of dem." Tricia looked at him with great admiration.
"Remy is right," the Professor said coming to both Tricia's and Remy's defense. "There are many things that you do not know, and with time you will find them all out, but I am sure that Tricia is tired and I am sure that she just wants to relax. When are your things coming?" Professor said looking at Tricia.
"Oh shit," looking at her watch she noticed that is was 3:30 in the afternoon. "They should be here soon. They said that they would be before 4:00."
"Where are your things, ya came on a bike?" Logan said wondering how they were going to get to the Mansion.
"Oh, I don't trust airplanes with baggage and stuff so I had it all UPSed over here. I know it's weird, but it works."
Hearing a knock on the front door, everyone stirred in their sitting finally knowing that they can talk and move on their own, Tricia left the room, with one shy smile to Remy, a man that she hoped she would get to know a little better. She went downstairs opened the door to find that is was the UPS man with all of her stuff.
The X-Men looked around the room looking at each other, wondering what was going on, and what they should do.
The Professor broke the silence. "I hope that you guys are okay with this. She is a good person, but the situation of her life, and who she is can get kinda complicated."
"I would like to say for the group that we are fine with this Professor," Ororo said with the beauty and grace that she had always had.
"I think that it might be fun to have someone new around here. I think that is old place needs a little spice." Bobby said looking around to see if anyone else agreed with him, and it seemed that they either agreed with him, or did not care either way.
"Remy, Logan, Bobby, and Kurt, I would like it if you would go downstairs and help Tricia with her things. The stuff that she does not want in her room I would like it if you could take them to the shield in the back so that it is not in her way or ours. Thank you all." Xavier looked at the four of them knowing that they were going to have fun trying to keep up with Tricia.
"Ja, that will be fine." Kurt said looking at the other man that were going to be helping him with this mysterious woman's things.
As everyone left the room, Professor Xavier looked outside the window that was behind his desk and realized that his X-Men have been living a life that has not been entirely true. They have not been experiencing what real evil is, what evil is out there. The world is full of evil, and he was hoping that the new friends were going to help them to realize what evil is out there. He knew that this was going to be a new experience for everyone that is involved.
