Chapter 3- Unplanned

After having a new group settle in the Xavier Institute for the past couple of days, things became slightly uneasy. Logan, Scott, Jean, and Kitty stayed clear of Silent. But the rest were alright. It was spring break for the students so everything was relaxing. Some even drove to the beach. But still Xavier had kept Rutherford and Silent in his office in many occasions.

"What will you do when the other students will be going to school?" asked Xavier.

Rutherford responded, "We will be attending the same school as well." Silent looked toward him, but before her reaction had shown, Kitty, Kurt, and Rogue had fallen into the room. "Ow!" Rogue pushed Kurt off of her as Kitty tried to stand up. Silent arched an eyebrow at the three. Rutherford smirked and said, "I suppose we will have to finish this another time, Professor." Xavier nodded as he stared at his students. Silent and Rutherford walked out, avoiding stepping on the three.

"Whoa. Are they really going to our school, Professor?" asked Kurt as he rubbed his arm. Rogue stood up and said, "Aren't they the ones or she the one who screwed with everyone's mind?" Xavier nodded and said, "Yes, well, that was a misunderstanding. Silent maybe mysterious and aloof in her own way, but she tried to protect Itsuki. And, yes, they are going to attend to Bayville High." Kitty stood up, brushing off the dirt on her clothes, saying, "Why?" She was a bit tensed around Silent even when they were passing each other in the hallways but that rarely happened. "They are mutants like us who want to be apart of the society. We shouldn't turn them away or they could be a threat rather than an ally to us and the rest of humanity," Xavier explained swiftly. Kitty scoffed quietly. "Just give her some time, Kitty, and things will be fine," Xavier said, smiling as a father figure. Kitty nodded stiffly as she left along with Rogue and Kurt. After that incident, they all went to the others to pass on the news. Everyone kept whispering as the newcomers passed them.

Some of the girls of the Institute were in awe because of Damien and Rutherford. Sometimes mostly Damien since he spent most of his time in the training section of the house. Today Damien was found once again in there, kicking a punching bag. Amara and Kitty watched him in his half naked, sweaty glory. Damien hadn't said much after his arrival. After he was finished, he took a towel and wiped the sweat off his neck. He turned around and saw the two admirers as they went back to their hiding spots. Both of them blushed as they breathed slowly. Damien walked around the same corner where they hid and acted as if nothing happened. Both of them sighed as they watched his handsome physique walked away.

Silent walked off into the training center after the two girls left. As she walked in, she saw Logan and Scott still working out. But that didn't stop her. Both stopped and stared at her. Scott turned to Logan who was glaring at Silent as she came across the punching bag. Logan walked to her. Scott said, "Logan, wait!" Too late as he said to her, "Want something more challenging than that?" He went into a stance. She stared at him and set down her bag. She just stood and waited. He started with a kick to the feet but she dodged it as she jumped front kicked him in the head. Scott winced as he watched. "That's got to hurt," he whispered. Logan fell on his back only to jump right back, only found to be pissed off even more. But Silent wasn't done as she punched him up his chin and kicked him in the side. Logan dropped onto the ground, but he had to cut the battle short as Xavier called him. "We'll finish this later," he grunted as he left. Scott stared at her as she picked her bag up and left. The same calm expression of her face never changed.

Silent walked into her room where she changed her navy jogging pants and white shirt. She walked out of her room with a metallic briefcase. Her clothes were now a white silk blouse, black pants, black gloves, and a black belted coat. Rutherford stood up as he saw Silent descend the stairs. She nodded as she stopped beside him. "Be careful," he whispered. She left and walked into a silver Jaguar. Kurt was gaping at the car. As she drove off, Rutherford turned around and saw Kurt. "Hello," he greeted, "If you're impressed with that old thing, you should see the new one. Well, I must see Professor right now. Nice chatting with you." Rutherford or Symbol walked past him grinning as he walked in Xavier's office. Kurt was left staring where the car had been. Scott's car was definitely out of date.

Silent walked out of a tall building after driving for one hour. As she took off her coat, she noticed a bookstore about four blocks away. She drove to it since she had nothing else to do. As she walked in, the smell of coffee hit her since there was a café next to it. After half an hour, she left with a bag in her hand. But before she started the ignition, something stopped her or more like everything. People were paused as birds floated in mid air.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Silent? Long time no see."

She turned to her left as she faced a man. He was tall. His messy golden hair stood in its gleaming glory with his black leather outfit. His golden eyes bore into her but still it had no effect on her. The calm, cold expression was still there. Her hands withdrew from the wheel as she folded her arms. The man came closer as he said, "So where have you and your group been hiding?"

Go away.

The voice echoed in his mind as it sent shivers up his spine. He smirked cockily. "Why should I so? So the others can destroy what's left first? I don't think so," he said as he bent over to his and her face met at the same level. She twitched as the man kneeled to his knees. He was growling in pain as his hand gripped his chest. "You'll pay for this, but not now. Just you wait," he threatened as he vanished and everything else was back to normal.

I'm tired of waiting. Pride.

She unfolded her arms and drove off. Things seemed like nothing happened. But before she could drive past the second block, another man sat in next to her. She arched her eyebrow at the unwelcome guest. "So, who was that?" he asked. It was no other than Pietro or Quicksilver. The blonde man had the powers of stalling time and other abilities. But he could only stall those who weren't mutants. Silent said nothing as she parked somewhere in front of a hotel. The car door opened on his side as she used her telekinesis to push him out and lock the door. "So, you are another mutant," he said, "A cute one in fact and obviously a rich one too." But she obviously didn't take care of him as he was in the car again. She wasn't going to waste her energy with this one as she squeezed a part of his neck that rendered him unconscious. She left him in the car as she drove to the Institute where Itsuki and Rutherford waited for her outside.

I found this. Along with…

The rest was transmitted to Rutherford as he nodded sternly. "We'll just have to be careful," he said, "I suppose Professor Xavier would like to take a look of this person." Silent nodded as she levitated him into the house. During the evening, Xavier decided to look Pietro into another room where he couldn't escape. Silent walked into her bedroom with her new book with Seth by her side. "Um, will you be eating dinner, Silent?" he asked; "Their food is better than Rutherford's turn to make food." He smiled. Silent shook her head.

No, I can't. I have to work on something important. I'm sorry.

Itsuki stared sadly at her and nodded, "It's alright. They're very nice here. Well, I better get going. I promised Kitty to help her with dessert." She nodded and watched the small boy leave. It was hard, hard for to be so different and try to help the others even though their problems weren't as difficult as hers. She spent the whole night on her computer, going through programs and files. Even though she was different, she tried to help anyways.
