The next week was nothing different. Everyone asked questions, and started to get to know each other. Tricia started to feel more comfortable with her new friends, and she hoped that she would be able to be friends with these people, and have them help her, because without the X-Men knowing, they were letting a very wanted person into their household. Someone that could cause a lot of pain if anyone found out that she was there, and Tricia did not want that, she wanted her new friends to be as safe as possible.
"Professor, I don't think that it is smart for me to be here any longer," Tricia said looking out the window behind the Professor's desk.
The Professor knew the trouble that Tricia had in her past, he knew more about her then he was telling his X-Men. "Tricia, I know that you are frightened, but you must understand that this is the best thing for you. Alex and I would not want you to be here if this wasn't the safest place for you. I hope that you understand this."
"Yes I do, of course I do. I just want to tell them everything about me, and how we really know each other. I think that if they understood why I am here, then they wouldn't be so confused. I told them all about Amanda, Alex, Loran, Max, and Angela, they know what they are, but they still don't understand why I am here." Tricia was worried about how she stood with the X-Men. She did not want them hating her, and if they did not understand why she was really there, and her true self then they might not trust her ever. That was not what she wanted at all.
"Okay if you like we can all have a meeting. Let me call the X-Men into my office." The Professor knew that his X-Men would understand, he just wished that Tricia would have more confidence in herself.
Remy had been trying to figure out where he had seen Tricia before. He knew that her face was something that he had marveled at before, but he just did not know from where. He had even asked Logan if he knew her from somewhere, Logan had not. Remy had even asked Tricia if they had met before and she said that they had not. Remy was really just confused about this whole thing, this has never happened to him before.
In the week that had, pasted Remy and Tricia got closer. Tricia really started to feel safe with him, she felt that she could tell him anything, and Remy felt the same way. He wanted nothing more then to be with her, feel her, and love her, but he knew that if this were to happen then she would have to trust him. He wanted nothing more then to have her trust him, and he felt that would take sometime. She was not like the other women that he had met, not even like the other women in the Mansion, she did not trust easily. She laughed (god did he love her laugh) and she had fun, but she never talked about her past or anything to do with it.
Remy had talked to Logan about Tricia, and Logan had said that he had hoped that the Cajun and the Beauty (as Logan called her) would get together. Remy had to agree, but he was not the only one that thought that the new beauty was irresistible, many of the men in the house thought the same, but in different ways. Hank wanted to know more about her powers, even though she never talked about them, only every once in awhile did she show them off, but it was never to the power that she had. Scott wanted to know more about her, and what she did, but she never talked to anyone about that. Kurt just wanted to get to know her, she did not talk to him about herself, but she did like to talk about everything else with him. He was fun to be with, besides Remy. Logan thought that she was mysterious, but he knew that nothing bad would come from her, he really thought that she was going be bring good things to the team. Warren, Peter, and Bobby really did not care about her much. They were nice to her, but nothing more.
X-Men I need you all in my office. This is very important.
It seemed like the first time that they had meet Tricia. She was in Professor Xavier's office sitting in a chair that was close to his desk, and the Professor was sitting behind his desk. Everyone walked in the office, some sitting and some standing, all of them watching and waiting, all wanting to know what was happening. Some of them were pissed off that they were called from what they were doing, but the Professor knew that this was important, that they really needed to know why Tricia was living there for the time being.
"I have called you down here because there is something that most be explained to you. It's the reason as to why Tricia is living here with us at this moment." Professor looked around the room, to the faces that he had known for some time now, and knew that their lives were about to change for the better or for the worst.
"I wanted to tell you this before, but the Professor decided that it would be better if I waited and told you when I and you were ready to listen." Tricia looked at the faces that she had slowly gotten to know, and she knew that some of them would not like what she was about to tell them.
"When I was 16, I was told of what I was meant to become, that I had a choice to do some good and join the government when I felt like I was ready, or I could go to the world that this power comes from," looking at her hands for a second, then looking back up at everyone. "My family and I made a choice that I would join the government when I was 18, after Highschool, but right now I would go thought the government training that I had to go though. I spent that summer in Training camp, the youngest to ever go though it and I wasn't the best but I wasn't the worst, but that is where I got my nickname, Tiger. A girl that was going though the camp with me gave me the name, she always said that I had the attitude and life of one, so it kinda always stuck." Tricia noticed that the new friends that she had made really did not care about that.
"The summer after that, I was told that they wanted me to go on this mission, and they told us little to nothing about what we were doing."
"Who are you talking about?" Warren asked as he interrupted Tricia.
"The government branch that we were working for, and me and my team. We were told to go to Paris, and that there was going to a robbery from someone that they have been trying to get for sometime. We went, found the house, found out what the guy was going to steal, and we waited. I saw him first; I was the one that was meant to take him down. I was the one that had him, but I could not do it. I saw him, and I couldn't do it. I watched him take the object that he wanted and, I watched him leave. He was known as Le Diable Blanc. The best thief that has ever been, yet I couldn't do a damn thing to stop him." Tricia looked at Remy, she knew that he was Le Diable Blanc, and she could see that was amazed that she knew that.
Tricia looked at the group; she knew that they could not handle what she was saying. She was in there home, someone that they did not know. Someone, after she tells them what she is going to say, they are not going to truest.
"What do you mean, you worked with the government?" Scott said looking at Tricia with a wary look.
"Up till 9 months ago I worked for them too. My group is right now tying up some lose ends so that we are no longer with them." Tricia said looking at the X-Men leader. She noticed that Remy was still on her every word, wanting to know how she knew about him.
"What made you quite? Do you still have connections there?" Scott was wide eyed with questions.
The Professor then decided that he needed to say something. "Scott, X-Men, you have to understand that we didn't tell you before because we thought that many of you would not want to hear what she had to say. Tricia and her group are good people, what they might seem like, and what you might hear." Tricia then looked at the Professor. Knowing that he knew some of the things that they had done. She was not always proud of it, but she knew that it had happened, and she knew better then anyone that you cannot change the past.
Tricia then looked at the group in front of her. "Everything that we ever did we had to do. You have no idea how risky it is now that we are leaving. We will no longer have to protection from the government. Anything will be able to come at us now."
"What do you mean anything?" Ororo asked, looking at her teammates in confusion. She and everyone else had no idea what was going on.
"We were hired to take care of things that needed to be taken care of quietly. There are things in this world that you have no idea about, things that would astound you. You have no idea the things that I have seen, and what I have done to save lives." With that, Tricia looked at the door to the office. She then slowly got up and went to the door. She smiled and quickened her pace. Everyone just stared at her, not knowing to do.
Remy just stared at the floor. He had no idea what to do. He had no idea what to say or what to do. She knew about his past, and no one else did. He did not want anyone else to find out. He then followed everyone else out to the front lawn where he could see that Tricia and a woman with long black hair were hugging, soon a smaller girl with shorter brown hair came up and was talking to them. They must be apart of the team that Tricia is apart of, Remy thought to himself. Soon a red viper speed up the driveway, a tall blonde-haired person came out of and walked over to Tricia. They smiled and hugged each other. Then a large black SUV came up the driveway. Out came a short woman with a blonde Mohawk, and a tall man. They were all smiling, and so was the Professor. Everyone seemed so happy to see each other. The X-Men were confused looking at these people, now knowing who they are.
Tricia looked up at the X-Men, knowing that they had no idea what was going on. She then looked at her friends and stepped back. Everyone looked at each other, and then she said, "I would like to introduce my teammates. This is Angela," she said pointing to the tall woman with long raven black hair. She had bright blue eyes; she also had the side of her lip pierced and her labret was pierced. "This is Amanda," She then pointed to a shorter girl, she as about 5 feet tall with shoulder length hair. "This is Alex," Tricia was pointing to the tall blonde-haired woman that was driving the red viper. She had long curly blonde hair with blue eyes. She seemed to also have a little nose piercing, and she had a strange tattoo coming down her left arm. "And this is Max and Loran." Max had longer hair then Loran, but it was still kinda short. His hair was a dark brown, and he had tattoo sleeves. Loran had dyed blonde hair that was short and styled into a Mohawk. She had brown eyes and she had the middle of her lip pierced. The X-Men looked at the people in front of them with wonderment. They truly were nothing like themselves, but they seemed like good people, and if the professor could truest them then they could truest them. Tricia then looked at the X-Men, "This is the X-Men." Tricia's team smiled at each and at the X-Men. They knew things that the X-Men did not know.
"Please, everyone come in. We have much we need to discuss." The Professor looked at the X-Men as they all made their way back to the Professor's office.
Tricia and her friends stayed behind. "What did you tell them about us?" Alex said looking at Tricia. "I told them what we all are, but that is it. I figured that everyone should be here to talk about anything else." Tricia then looked at her friends, and starting walking to the door when she said, "They really have no idea what they have in front of them." Everyone laughed, knowing that she was right, the X-Men well never be the same.
