A New Friend

Meghan strolled happily back to her house,clearly happy that Warren had decided to keep his wings. Although, she did not expect any visitors, waiting for her outside her house.

"Um,hello,can I help you?"Meghan asked,curiously to the bald man,who was in a wheelchair, with an African woman,with short grey hair.

"Hello, Meghan, I am Charles Xavier,but you can just call me Professor Xavier, and this is Ororo,or Storm, as we prefer to call her." The man,apparently Professor Xavier said.

"You know my name?"Meghan asked,amused. She had never met this man before, so how did he know her name?

"Perhaps, we should take this inside, if you please."Storm said.

"Um… I guess we could.."Meghan said,unlocking her house door,letting the two people in.

"Now, Meghan, I know of your special power… and I can help you control it."Professor Xavier said,as Meghan took a seat in her living room.

"How'd you know about my powers?"

"Oh, I have my ways! We're mutants, like you, we can help you, at the Xavier's Institute For The Gifted." The Professor said.

"There are people like you there, you know." Storm said,assuring Meghan.

"I'd love to come, but, I don't know yet, I mean…"

"Don't worry, Storm will help you pack… if you'd kindly show her to your room, that is." The Professor said,smiling

"Oh, right this way…" Meghan said,leading Storm upstairs to her room.

"The suitcases are right here…" Meghan said, using her powers to bring down two suitcases from the shelf.

"Impressive… let's start packing, shall we?" Storm said. Meghan's phone started ringing.

"Please, excuse me for a second…" Meghan said,picking up her phone. "Hello?"

"Meghan! Guess what!" Warren said. Judging from his voice, he was clearly excited/happy/joyful.

"What?"Meghan said.

"I've reasoned with Alexandria and… she said it was OK if I was a mutant! She said, I was perfect just they way it is!l I'm so excited! We're going on a date tonight!"

"Really.. that's uh… wonderful!"Meghan said.

"Yeah,it is! Anyway… I really have to go now! See you soon?"

"Yeah,soon…" Meghan said,hanging up the phone.

"What was all that about?"Storm said, rummaging through Meghan's clothes.

"Nothing.. my friend's just happy because he 'girlfriend' accepted his mutant abilities… after his father tried to 'cure' him" Meghan said,helping Storm look through her clothes.

Storm stopped to look at Meghan. "Wait… your not talking about the boy who jumped through the window… are you?"

"Yeah,I am." Meghan said,packing some clothes into the suitcase.

"So… he was the one."

"You saw?"

"Yeah,almost everyone did… scared most of them too…"Storm said. It took them at least 1 hour to finish packing everything. And so, Meghan left her house to go to the Institute, with Professor Charles Xevier and Storm.

When she got to the Institute, she noticed a big mansion.

"Welcome, to the Xavier's Insittue for the Gifted, Meghan Rowana." The Professor said,leading her in. She was amazed, and wanted to tell Warren about all of this, so he too can join,and she would at least have a friend to be with.

"Storm, please show Meghan to her room."

"Of course, Professor, this way,Meghan." Storm said,leading Meghan up the staircase, into the dormitory hall.

"This will be your room, apparently, you have a roommate." Said, Storm, opening the door. Inside,was a girl, around 15-16 years old, with chocolate-brown hair.

"Meghan,meet your roommate, Kitty Pryde. Kitty, meet your new roommate, Meghan."

"Hi,Kitty, it's nice to meet you!" Meghan said, setting her suitcases down.

"Hey! Need help with your suitcases?" Kitty said, offering to help Meghan.

"Sure."

"Well,I leave you two girls for now!"Storm said, leaving those two alone.

It's been an hour, and Meghan has already begun to feel like home. She felt like calling Warren, to tell him about this place.

"Hey,Kitty, mind if I use the phone for awhile?" Megha asked, directing to the phone by her bedside.

"Sure,go ahead, anyway, it's for us to use in our room." Kitty, said, reading a magazine. Meghan dialed a number she already knew by heart.

"Hello?" came a voice from another line.

"Warren?"Meghan asked, just to make sure she got the right number.

"Meghan? Hey, can you call me back tomorrow or something? I'm kinda busy right now…"

"Yeah, it's me, but I gotta tell you something! It's important! Well, you see…"

"Meghan, I really have to go. I'm out with Alexandria now, call you tomorrow, bye." Warren said, hanging up.

" DAMN YOU,WARREN WORTHINGTON THE 3RD! YOU AND YOUR STUPID DATE! And I thought we WERE FRIENDS!" Meghan said, slamming the phone.

"Whoa, what was that about? That was… loud." Kitty said,looking up from her magazine.

"Yeah, I know, sorry. It's just that a friend of mine, syas he too 'busy' to talk to me, all because he's on a date with his new 'girlfriend'" Meghan said, folding her amrs.

"Really? What did you want to call him for?"

"I wanted to tell him about this place, you know, so he can stay here, and I'll at least have a good friend, besides you of course…" Meghan said, cheering up a little.

"But we haven't known each other that much,yet. Let's get to know each other a little better!" Kitty said, sitting Indian style on her bed.

"Alright, what do you want to know?" Meghan said, sitting Indian style on her bed too.
