I awoke sometime later with my cheek pressed against something soft and firm. I had no idea what I could have been leaning against. I opened my eyes to find that I was being carried bridal style by some man with weird red sunglasses down an unfamiliar hallway and that my cheek was pressed against his muscled chest.

I was very freaked out! First I was shot and now this!

I pushed myself out of his arms, knocking him over in the process, and I landed on my feet in front of him and the woman that was standing next to him. I was surprised, though, when I recognized the woman. She was the dark skinned white haired lady who had been looking at us in the store. Only now instead of wearing a blue dress she was clothed in what looked to be a black leather jumpsuit with a silver cape attached to the back.

I glanced back at the brown haired man, who was now getting up off of the floor, and demanded, "Where's Sparrow and what the hell happened?"

My rudeness didn't seem to affect her; she just smiled at me. "Sparrow is fine." She said. "She's up with the professor in his office and he will answer all your questions when we get there."

I continued to glare at her when the man turned to the woman and said, "Storm, I thought you said that she had been shot?"

"She was shot twice in the back and stomach" Storm replied. "She must be a fast healer, like Logan."

I didn't like being ignored, especially since I had no idea what was happening, so I took off running down the hall. I heard the man shout for me to stop before Storm and him took off after me.

As I ran down hallway after hallway I pulled up the hood of my cloak to hide my face. I only stopped when I heard Sparrow's voice coming from behind a closed door. The door was made of oak and the name plate that was fixed to it read: Prof. Charles Xavier. I grabbed the door handle and threw open the door.

The only people in the room, that I saw, were a tall red headed woman and a bald man sitting behind a desk in a wheelchair. I was about to demand to know where Sparrow was, when she jumped out of a chair in front of the desk and launched herself into my arms. I wrapped my arms protectively around her as the man in the wheelchair motioned for me to sit down in the chair that Sparrow had recently vacated. The man in the wheelchair seemed very trustworthy.

Once I was comfortably seated, with Sparrow in my lap, the man in the wheelchair smiled and said, "Hello, I am Professor Charles Xavier, welcome to my school for gifted youths, Sparrow and I were just discussing how you both could fly, Skye."

I just said the first thing that came to mind, "This is a school?"

"Yes, this is a school, a school for mutants," the professor replied dramatically.

Before he could continue talking Storm the man with the red sunglasses walked into the room. I glared at them both, but Sparrow happily said, "Hi Storm!" like she knew her.

The professor smiled and motioned for them to go stand next to the red haired lady as they entered the room.

I was becoming impatient so I demanded, "What happened? I don't like waking up to find that I am being carried by some strange man in an unfamiliar place."

"Oh, I'm sorry," started the professor. "Let me introduce everyone. This is Jean Grey, Scott Summers or Cyclops, and Ororo Munroe or Storm." He said gesturing to the red head, the guy with the weird sunglasses and Storm in turn. "Like me they are all teachers here at this school and part of the X-men. Everyone here is a mutant and I was able to find you both using my telepathy and a machine I created called cerebro that enhances my power. I sensed that you were going to be in trouble so I sent Storm and Jean to go and get you. You were brought here in our jet and Scott was carrying you down to the doctor's office for you bullet wounds to be treated when you woke up," He finished.

After the professor completed his speech I replied, "Thanks for helping us, but I am fine. I heal really fast." I paused before continuing. "Well, Sparrow and I should be going now."

"Skye, can't we stay here. This is a really nice place and there are other kids here too!" Sparrow pleaded.

"Yes Skye, you are welcome to stay on here. Besides I am sure that it is much safer here." Professor Xavier interrupted.

"Oh, Skye, can we please stay here," Sparrow whined.

I didn't want to put Sparrow in any more danger and these people seemed nice enough. Maybe Sparrow could go to school here and make some friends her own age.

I had made up my mind. I looked up to see that everyone was staring at me expectantly, waiting for an answer.

I turned to Professor Xavier and said with confidence, "Yes, we will stay here."
