Chapter 2- Encounter
Professor Xavier was sitting peacefully in his office until a loud telephone rang. Picking the device up, he answered, "Hello?" In a short state of shock, his eyes widened.
The week had finally passed by as people entered the institute, throwing their book bags on the floor. Kurt jumped onto the couch as he put his hands behind his head, sighing. "Finally, relaxation time," he said gladly. "Well, if you waited a week, you can wait for a couple of minutes since Professor Xavier wants to talk to us, Kurt," Scott responded as Kurt stood up and followed him, groaning. It seemed like everyone was here…again. Everyone thought it was about the child angel. Scott guessed it was about something about his mysterious letter. No one knew until the Professor strolled in. "We will be having guests over tonight. So, I warn you to tidy yourselves up," he announced in a slightly stern voice. No one asked who since they were afraid that the Professor might not be in such a good mood. Logan nodded as he walked away, rubbing his chin since he was still angry about the "shadow" incident.
DING DONG
The grandfather clock struck twelve at midnight. The Professor, Storm, and Logan stood in front of the stairs. "You sure they're going to be here?" asked Logan in his rough voice. Xavier answered, "Yes, Logan, just be patient." Kurt sat against his chair, snoring. Until Kitty poked him in the ribs as a rather large car pulled up to the institute. Scott and Jean stared as they straightened up. Rogue was standing against the wall. "Ow," Kurt exclaimed as he jumped up. Logan scowled at Kurt as the blue boy laughed nervously. The others were sound asleep. The doors opened as a man in a blue and grey business suit walked in. He looked like about nineteen years old. Along with a girl who looked like seventeen, another girl of sixteen, a boy of seventeen, and the angel child from before. The child was hiding behind sixteen year old girl, holding onto the side of her pants. "Thank you for letting us come, Mr. Xavier," the oldest male said, bowing his head. Xavier smiled and said, "Of course. We welcome other mutants." Logan stood up straight as he stared at the boy. The eldest held out his hand to the professor and introduced, "I am Rutherford Williams. Or also abide by Symbol." Xavier kindly shook his hand. "This is Amelia Adams or Emerald" The seventeen year old girl smiled as she waved. "This is Damien Daniels or Streak." The other male quietly nodded respectfully. "Carry Simms or Material." The girl with the boy behind her said a polite "Hello". "And the little one is Seth Tsubasa." Seth looked at them and hid back behind Carry.
Xavier nodded and said, "We welcome you to the Xavier Institute for gifted youngsters." Logan sniffed the air and recognized the little boy. "Where's the shadow that knocked me out?" he asked roughly. "Shadow?" Rutherford said, "Oh, that person will arrive shortly. There was a meeting." Logan looked the other way as he was getting pissed of by the second. The car that first arrived was gone as a black car drove in as the new group turned around. "Ah, there it is," he said. Jean and Scott stood up along with Kitty and Kurt. Logan popped his knuckles as he grunted. As the door opened, a girl of eighteen years walked out with a metallic briefcase. Her silent footsteps followed in with the others. Seth ran to her, shouting, "Silent!" He hugged her leg as she petted him on the head. "And this of course is Silent," said Rutherford. She just stared at them all with her cold, hard black eyes. Logan was left gaping slightly. "So, she's the one who…" he said. Seth responded, "Um, yes, but I bet she's really sorry." Silent just exhaled as she turned to Rutherford. "Good," he said to her. No one had a clue why he just suddenly said that to her. Silent stepped forward to Xavier until Logan stepped in the way, releasing his claws. "Don't even think about hurting him," he growled. She just stared at him as she set down the briefcase in front of him and walked back. "The briefcase contains all of our bios…well…except for Silent's," Rutherford explained. She just folded her arms. Jean was glaring at her along with Kitty and Scott, well, if you could tell if Scott was glaring with his forehead wrinkling.
"You'll be staying here, correct?" asked the professor. Rutherford nodded as Silent and Damien retrieved the suitcases. "Good," he responded, "Storm will show you where to sleep." After unloading the things, Silent and Rutherford followed Xavier holding the briefcase into his office. "What do you think is going on in there?" asked Kitty to Kurt. Kurt just shrugged. Before Silent entered the office, Seth ran to her and asked, "Can I release now?" She nodded as he smiled at her. He ran back to Carry as his wings were as told released. Carry smiled and patted his back. Logan glared as he went back to his room. "Hey," Scott and Jean said to them. Amelia greeted back along with Carry. Seth went back to hiding behind Carry. Damien followed Storm along with the suitcases. Kurt jumped back as he saw the suitcases moved on their own. "Don't worry. Damien uses shadows to move them," Carry assured. Kitty kneeled down and said, "Hi, little guy. I'm Kitty." Seth waved timidly as his big eyes blinked, "I'm S-Seth." Kitty giggled, "Well, have a good night sleep, Seth." She waved back and walked up to her room as well.
Seth ran to catch up with Damien as he clung to his hand. "Cute little guy," said Jean. "Yeah, Silent found him in Japan. Found out his parent died in a fire. His other family died naturally. Poor little one," said Carry sadly. Scott nodded as he remembered his own parents. "Well, you better catch up with Storm or you'll end up sleeping in the halls," advised Scott. They nodded as they walked up the steps. Soon, tomorrow will be straighten out this sudden incident…hopefully.
