Next morning I awoke with a start and promptly kicked my lamp off the table as I heard a most delightful scream at 6:18 A.M. I then bit my lip to stop from screaming from the pain in my toe. Moments later Bobby burst into my room along with 4 other guys I hadn't seen before in their underwear looking around for the source of the most horrible scream.

I laughed as I asked, "Whoa, where is the fire?"

"Didn't you scream?" one of the taller men toward the back said, he wore funny glasses and was quite buff I couldn't help but notice.

"No" I said as I began to try to get up, Bobby noticed my struggle and ran over and helped me to my feet.

Just then the scream came again, louder and more desperate this time. All of the men ran out of my room, and Bobby swiftly threw me over his shoulder and ran towards the commotion, arriving only moments after the others. As he put me down I noticed that inside the room, several women were holding a girl not much older than me as she cried; apparently she had had a bad dream. All the boys moaned and left the room, grumbling about stupid girls and how they are afraid of their own shadows.

"Well that was a waste of time, care to join me for a very early breakfast?" Bobby asked offering me his arm, which I took happily as he escorted me to the kitchen. When we walked in the four boys from earlier along with a few others were in the kitchen, apparently we weren't the only ones who had this idea. We walked in and a couple of the boys nudged each other and looked at me smiling in a sort of evil dirty way.

"Nice clothes love" a boy said while shuffling a deck of cards.

All the boys began to laugh and I realized- I am still wearing Bobby's clothes. I blushed and turned to walk out of the room when Bobby turned me back around and gave the guys a very stern look making them all shut up almost at once. They all eyed me with curiosity, and I learned later this was because I had made Bobby serious- which was not a common sight.

"Everyone this is Audrey." I smiled and sort of half waved..

One by one all of the boys started to introduce themselves, many of them goofing around and bowing in such. The one boy with the cards who they called Remy curtsied for me, which was funny I must admit. After we had all been introduced everyone went back to what they were doing and Bobby grabbed two bowls, some cereal and milk. While we ate we watched the other guys mess around, some playing cards and others just talking and being dumb. Bobby left after his cereal to go shower and get dressed and offered to take me back to my room, but I "declined his invitation." I went and sat at the table between Remy and Sam, seeing as how that was the only open spot at the crowded table.

"So what are you all playing?" I asked curiously.

"Well, we were playing poker but if you want to play I guess we can switch to go' fish!" Scott yelled making all the guys laugh once more.

"Hmmm while that is tempting, I think I will go with poker," I said matter of factly pulling a twenty out of my sock and handing it to the guy holding the chips.

Several of the boys raised eyebrows, seeming intrigued by my enthusiasm. Remy then dealt the cards as Scott gave me my chips, saying the game was 5-card stud. Everyone traded out their cards, changing from their playful mood to one of seriousness- poker was no joke in this house. Then Remy called check and everyone showed his or her hands. Warren laughed, as he thought he had won with his full house, when I slapped his hand.

"Do you mind if I take my winnings now?" he said in a fake stern tone.

I smiled and laid my cards down on the table- all of the boys jaws dropped.

"A FLUSH!" Sam yelled looking outraged as I slid the pile of chips over to me smiling the whole time.

Logan mumbled something about beginners luck and dealt another hand-, which I won along with the next 4 after that. All the boys looked stunned and were just about to protest as I won yet again when I said,

"Well I think I am done here boys. Thanks for the nice game."

I handed Scott my chips and he gave me my 180, not bad I thought to my self. John stood up looking angry and started to yell.

"SIT BACK DOW-"

He stopped yelling then as he saw me start to hand each of the guys a twenty. All the boys watched in silence as I tossed a twenty at each, pocketing the left over 60.

"See you around boys." I then left without another word.

I stood outside the kitchen door and listened for a moment.

"Well I like her…" I heard the rough voice of Logan say.

"Yeah, she is nice AND hot!" I heard what I think was John yell, I giggled to myself then started to walk down the hall I was in.

After a few minutes of walking I realized I had no idea where I was going. I walked a little further when I heard a voice in the back of my head:

"Go into the door on your left please, Audrey."

It was the voice of an old man; I stopped and looked to my left. There were huge wooden doors like those you see for great offices that fancy lawyer's have and such. I knocked on the door apprehensively and heard the voice in my head say

"Come in."

I entered slowly and saw a bald man in a wheel chair staring out the window. He looked over to me and smiled.

"Hello Audrey, I am Professor Xavier, please have a seat." He motioned to a big chair next to him.

I sat down apprehensively and thought of all the questions I was dying to ask him, but calmly decided on one, I was about to ask him when he spoke.

"You will be living here now, your uncle has already agreed. You will learn how to better use your powers and also continue your studies. We brought you hear when we found you hurt in the Congressman's house; you were lucky that we found you in time. The red flash you saw was Scott's laser vision, and yes that's why he wears those dorky sunglasses. The people who killed your family were never found, but yes they were in fact mutants. We believe they acted under the influence of some sort of mind control, but who was behind it we still do not know. We also do not know why they killed your family and not you but we can only assume it was because of your not showing signs of having mutant powers to that date. After you get cleaned up you will go shopping with Bobby, Remy and Warren for clothes and other necessities and no you did not imagine those girls this morning- there are some girls in this house."

I stared at him in awe for a few more seconds before I spoke.

"Okay. May I leave?" I asked considering that I no longer had any questions that needed answering.

"Of course, thanks for the lovely chat dear."

I then rose and walked to the door and left, still in complete shock at what that man had just done.

15 minutes later I finally found my room and realized the true massiveness of this house. Right when I stepped inside my room I heard my name being yelled from down the hall- I am being summoned.

"Audrey, come on we are going shopping for your clothes!" Warren yelled.

"Mkay!" I yelled as I walked up to him.

"Are you going dressed like that?" he asked jokingly.

"Why of course! No, but I don't have anything else to wear…"

"Well, I suppose you can borrow some clothes from one of the other girls."

He said as we started towards the girl's rooms when we heard screaming and cursing, causing Warren to turn around abruptly.

"I am sure Bobby has some clothes that will fit you for the afternoon…"

Warren knocked on Bobby's door and asked if we could come in. After a little bit of banging drawers the door clicked open and Bobby replied:

"Yea what can I do for ya'll?" winking at me in a joking way.

"Do you have any clothes I can borrow for today? Sorry I keep asking." I asked.

"Uhh yea I think I have some old pants that would fit you…" he dug around a little and found some torn up jeans that were a little loose but fit just fine. He also gave me a black shirt that said, "Can't touch this…" and showed a hot stove.

"Thanks, I will go get dressed then we can go?" I asked uncertainly.

"Sounds like a plan." Warren said.

I went to my room and got dressed, which was much easier now that I could stand up just fine. When I was done I walked out of my room and found Bobby waiting holding a car key alongside Remy and Warren. We made our way to the car talking about where we would shop and about getting some lunch. I realized from the boy's odd conversation that this trip would be very interesting indeed.

Half an hour later we were at Sonic eating burgers and talking about ourselves. The boys had a lot of questions about my powers and my life and such.

"So what is your power?" Warren asked curiously.

"Well I don't really know what you would call it- you see I sort of can change…force."

"How do ya mean?" Remy questioned.

"Umm…like every movement requires force. Whether it is running, punching, or breathing. I can manipulate that force. Like… if I was being punched I could decrease the force so that the fist would just touch me- causing no pain or injury. Or lets say I had a whole army marching towards me- I could simply increase the force of gravity in their area causing them to be crushed by the gravitational force."

"So in theory you can change everything- cause most everything is an action?" Bobby wondered out loud.

"Yes I suppose…" I answered.

"That's awesome!" Warren yelled. Bobby and Remy both nodded in agreement and I smiled.

We then got in the car and went to the mall where we went to several stores, one full of blue jeans. I bought like 8 pairs then we moved on to this cool store with tons of shirts with music and stuff on them. Then I went to Victoria's Secret and bought a couple bras and some panties (which I might add Bobby and the others found VERY interesting). I then went to a shoe store and got a couple pairs of converses and some fuzzy black slippers with green dots!

"Umm I think that is all I will need." I said, looking at the boys all holding about 5 bags each.

"To the car!" Bobby yelled running towards the parking lot. I laughed and sort of jogged behind him with the other guys.

When we got to the car we all piled in, me in the backseat with Bobby, Remy and Warren in the front, after about ten minutes in the car all three of their pagers went off at once. I, not knowing what it was because of my lack of time spent with these people freaked out and thought it was a bomb or something, and half strangled Bobby trying to hide behind him.

"WOAH, Audrey its okay- that was just our pagers, its no big dea-" Bobby stopped as he read the message on his fancy pager.

"Warren, hurry up and get us home." Bobby said in a very serious tone.

"Trust me I know" Warren said as he started to drive faster and less carefully I happened to notice.

As we drove it began to rain, making the trip even more terrifying but thankfully we arrived at the mansion 20 minutes later to find all the older occupants running around in tight, spandex uniforms yelling for all the students to go to their rooms. When we walked in Scott came up to us.

"Get dressed immediately we leave in 3 minutes." He said then quickly ran down the stairs.

Bobby turned to me and grabbed me softly by the shoulders then spoke,

"I have to go- when I come back I will get all your things and help you get them unpacked and everything. Will you be okay?" he said in a worried voice.

"Yea don't worry about me- go!" I said urging him to hurry.

He ran off to get ready and I slowly made my way to my room. A few moments later I heard a deep rumbling coming from outside, so I panicked. As I looked out my window I saw a huge plane flying off into the sky. I lay down on my bed and started to read a magazine Bobby had lent me about sports. I began to flick through it nonchalantly when the lights went out.

I stood up uncertainly and stumbled out of my room and into the hall. It was eerie, the mansion was dark and it was storming outside. I crept slowly towards the stairs, jumping several times from the sound of thunder or the flash of lightning, when I heard a huge crunching noise. I stopped and listened closer- trying to see where the sound came from. I continued to move towards the staircase that led to the front door when a deep voice that had haunted my dreams for 5 years spoke.

"Come out and play Audrey."
