Oni walked down a hall, seeing many children. He found a room with many people in it, many of them were playing pool and doing other things he saw a guy at a computer. He was looking a a skateboard but had one right beside him.

The boy spoke up, "Man ,this new board is so cool! I want one so bad. This old piece of junk isn't good anymore."

Oni approached him looking to the skateboard the child kicked and the one on the screen. "Pardon my saying but you're being greedy... You already have a skateboard and it is not broken, stop kicking it and use it, and don't be so greedy. I'm sorry, I probably said too much."

He turned down the hall and continued to walk hoping to find a place where he would fit in if only for a moment.

Jean nodded and looked to Lacey, leading her to a room. Hers was also right across from the medical facility. Even though she was feeling better, Jean was still worried about her. It was just her personality. Jean smiled to her. "..Here is your room.. I am sure you would like some real rest, so feel free to do so. If you would like, I can give you and Oni a tour later.. Through the whole school. Okay?"

Lacey smiled. "Umm.. Okay. Sure, a little later?" Jean nodded. "Alright, then. Have a good rest." She said as she walked back to the doorway and closed the bedroom door behind her, leaving Lacey to her own.

Lacey sighed and walked over to the bed. The room was beautiful, she'd never seen such beauty. The bed was soft and comfortable, she could probably fall asleep as soon as she laid down.. But, the thoughts were in her head, driving her insane. She knew she was safe here, but.. She also thought she was safe with her Father. She laid down on the bed, her hair falling into her face.

Her fingers wrapped around the cross that was around her bruised neck. Another thing her Father gave her, which she always cherished. Tears escaped her eyes. She sighed, remembering what Oni had said.

God abandoned him..? Did God abandon her too? Did he cast her out into the darkness alone, without anyone to reach for? Without a reason to continue and live a happy life? She bit her lip. She also remember what Father had told her. 'It's normal for a child such as yourself to sometimes hesitate to trust in the Lord.. But, you must always remember... That he loves you, and he believes in you. He will always help you, and he will answer you.. Just call out his name. And he will be there.'

Her grip on the cross tightened and she opened her eyes, hearing the metal crack. She opened her fist, seeing that the cross was now just a ball of metal. She ripped it away from her neck and threw it to the floor, angry at herself and the words in her head. She called out for him, when she looked to the crucifix on the church wall. She called to him, she yelled out for him in her mind.. Was that his answer? Was that the help that he was supposed to give her? ..Death? Did God hate her so much? Was she that much of an abomination? Even though she knew that the Father loved her, she remembered more than his words. There were times when he would get angry, he would raise a hand to her. And she wouldn't stop him, sometimes she thought it was the best. She needed to be purified, he said. Needed to be saved from the dark evil that inhabited her body.

Was it all lies? The stories of God, and the Bible.. The words of the Lord that she held so dear. Did God really turn his back on her? ...It sure felt like it. She closed her eyes and sighed. "..This sucks.."

Jason was skating down the hall when he saw Jean. " Hey what's with this new kid, Oni? He's weird! I mean he sits and preaches to me about being to greedy or some stuff like that and just wanders off. I don't get it. He just doesn't, I dunno, feel right. What's with him?" Jason popped his skateboard into his hand.

Meanwhile Oni had gotten tired again so he decided to go hang out in his room. He walked down the hall and saw the kid with the skateboard and Lacey. "Lacey, if you wish to talk come to my room later." He walked into his room completely ignoring the kid with the skateboard.

Lacey jumped up, hearing Oni's voice. She put her hand to her chest, relieved. She was still a little bit jumpy. "Um... Okay," she said, standing up and wiping the tears from her pale, exhausted cheeks. She smiled slightly and walked over to a mirror, making sure she didn't look that bad.

Jean looked to Jason. "..Just leave him be, for a while. He really never had anything like you guys.. So," she shrugged and looked to him with a smirk. "..Are you thinking about getting yet another board?" She sighed and shook her head. "Don't you have enough already?" She smiled. "Just.. Be nice to him, please? He has enough things to worry about already.. And I don't want him to think he's not welcome. You remember how it was like when you first came here?"

Oni sat down on his bed for a moment. Last nights nightmare had shocked him worse than he would ever admit and worse than the other ones, but why? He stood up and looked into the closet where there was a row of what he assumed was school uniforms. He opened the drawers and found something he liked, he switched clothes he wore one of the tight fitting school uniforms and over that he wore what would look like a robe at first glance but it had no sleeves.

He could wear it in every day life hen when a battle would come throw it off and have the tight uniform type thing so he could use fast movements. There was even a place to hide the knife he had kept, he knew it would probably get him in trouble but he would never leave this thing. It had kept him safe it was the only thing his father had ever given him and it had never broken. He sat back down on the bed again and tried to rid his mind of the dream.

Professor Xavier was worried about both of the new arrivals; both Oni and Lacey, they almost were opposites. He wanted to see what Oni was capable of even without using his powers. So he contacted Jean.

"Jean, I know you're probably tired but if I'd like you to get Oni and bring him to the danger room. I'd like to see what he's capable of and incase he manifests his power of telekenesis you can help him control it."

Jean nodded and looked to Jason. "..Just be nice to him.. Or, I won't make you breakfast anymore... Alright?" She smiled to him and walked back through the corridor. She stood in front of Oni's bedroom door and took a breath. "..Danger room.. Already, eh?" She said to herself, knocking on the door. "Oni?" She called. "The Professor would like to see you down in the Danger Room." She said, pulling her crimson hair back into a poney tail. She peeked inside. "..Time to show off." She laughed.
