Chapter Three: Xavier's School for the Gifted

"I'm Charles Xavier. Who are you?" The old man said, looking down at the dirty girl. Kat blinked at him. Then glanced at the others. They were all staring at her too. She decided she wouldn't speak to him. She didn't know him. Why should he know her. They knew she was a mutant. They might... Kat shuddered. She didn't want to think about it. So instead, she glanced around at the circular room.

I wonder what those people are doing? If they keep standing there, they will shoo away all the flies. Or worse. They will smack them. Go away. A voice said in Kat's mind. She raised her eyebrow and looked to the highest point in the room. There, on the wall, was a spider web with a small spider on it.

Dear Spider, you hardly have a chance to find flies in this room. I'm think they might be more interested in the kitchen or outside. Kat told the spider. The spider turned in its web.

I... fine. I'll move. You better be right! The spider said, crawling on the wall.

"Are you listening?" Charles Xavier asked Kat. She turned to him and stared at him. We are mutants to if you are afraid. A human voice popped in her head. Kat's eyes widened. She pointed to the old man. He nodded. "Now. I would like to know more about you." He said. Kat swallowed.

"My name is Katherine Kingsly. I'm from Maine." She told him. He nodded.

"How old are you, Katherine?" He continued.

"Ten." She mumbled.

"How long have you known you have had your powers?" He asked, settling back into his wheelchair.

"When I was about four." She said.

"Why are you in New York, Katherine?" He said.

"Please. Call me Kat. So are you all mutants?" She asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yes. But don't change the subject. Why are you in New York?" He asked again. Kat narrowed her eyes.

"That's my personal business." She told him. He nodded.

"Well, let me tell you a little bit about where you are." He said.

In Maine

A loud knock on the Kingsly's door, awoke Jack the Old German Shepard. He stretched and walked to the door, as Mrs. Kingsly opened the door. Two men in suits stood outside. "Hello, ma'am. We are here for Katherine Kingsly." One of them said. Mrs. Kingsly gave them a confused look.

"Why do you want Kat? And why do you think she would be here?" She asked them.

"Mrs. Kingsly, she is not at school. The school said she wasn't here this morning either. Where is she?" The other man said impatiently.

"What do you want with Kat?" She asked them, narrowing her eyes.

"She's... in trouble. We are here to help her." The first one said, smiling.

"What kind of trouble! I don't know where my baby is!" She cried, gripping the door.

"We don't know what trouble she is in. We just know she is in trouble. Where do you think she would be going?" The second man asked.

"She had been saying that she wanted to go to New York. Help my baby. And bring her back to me!" She said. She pulled out her wallet and took out a picture of her. Her long brown hair was in a tight ponytail. Her eyes and smile were happy. Her tan skin was clean. Not like the last time the two men meet her.

The men took the picture and quickly thanked her then left. Jack growled and looked at the door. Mrs. Kingsly open the door and let him out. He ran outside and went to the nearest tree.

Roscoe! Roscoe wake up! ROSCOE WAKE UP YOU LAZY BIRD! Jake barked, looking up in the tree. A crow flew down to the lowest branch on the tree.

Yeah, yeah, I'm up. Hey Jack. Where's Kat? Roscoe cawed back.

Kat's gone. To New York. You have to fly over there and tell someone to give her a message. Jack said.

Are you crazy? It's really cold out here. I can't believe Kat tricked me to stay here. Now, I have to fly to New York. It's cold here and it's cold there. Roscoe complained.

Shut up and grow up. Now listen, tell someone to tell Kat, that the men in suits are after her. And they know she is in New York somewhere. Now go, Roscoe. No ands or buts. Jack snarled. Roscoe cawed angrily and flew up into the gray sky. Jack whimpered. He hoped Kat would be okay. He turned and pawed at the door, till Mrs. Kingsly let him in.

Back in New York

Kat sat on the counter of Miss Jean Gray's office. She couldn't believe her luck. She had landed into a school full of mutants, just like her! Miss Gray was doing something for Kat, but she didn't tell Kat what. She glanced at the food she was given. A hamburger, golden fries, and milk. Kat looked around. When she confirmed that no one was looking, she stuff about twenty fries in her mouth. They were so good. She finished the fries and attacked the hamburger. "When was the last you ate?" Miss Gray's voice said. Kat whipped around, lettuce sticking out of her mouth. Jean was smiling at the girl. "Go on, finish your food." She told Kat, sitting down at her desk. Kat wiped her mouth with her wrist then ate properly. She finished her milk. And turned around. Jean mysteriously had gotten a gray hoodie, a gray shirt, and some pants. "Now, in there, is where you can wash yourself. Then open the cabinet and there is a comb." She said. Kat nodded and took the clothes.

Finally, Kat came out. Her brown hair was brushed thoroughly. Her skin was red from the scrubbing. The clothes hung loosely off Kat's body. This time, Logan and Scott were waiting in the office. "Sorry about running you over." Logan said, looking down. Kat came up to his stomach.

"It's okay. I shouldn't have been running down the road anyway." Kat told him. Kat turned to Scott. "Clean your boots. No one wants mud on their carpets. Or tongues." She said.

"Hello. Anyway, we're suppose to take you to your room." Scott said, walking to the door. Logan followed. Kat thought about telling them about the strange things that happen. But then she decided against it. After all, they didn't ask. And it wasn't her problem. Unless, she got hurt. But that would never happen.

Okay. This chapter is kind of boring but I needed her to get into the school before the good stuff happened. Please Review! Oh! And PLEASE READ TEENCHIC2004'S REVIEW ANSWER. IT WILL TELL YOU SOME THINGS ABOUT KAT THAT I DIDN'T EXPLAIN BEFORE!

Gimmeabreak: I'll try to add as much Jean as possible. Okay? She is cute but she can be a big pain when she wants to be. Please review.

Teenchic2004: I guess I forgot to tell you guys. When she morphs, she goes colorblind. All color out of her sight. Because her eyes are adjusting. Then it turns the animal's way of seeing. Then her human eye makes the color the same way it was. Sorry about that. Yes she has the abilities and characteristics of the animals she turns into. She can use them while just staying human. For example: She could be trying to find someone, so she uses a dog's sense of smell to find out where they were, without changing into one. Sorry I didn't make that clear either. Please review.
