"Hello, Hello?" Bobby said as he knocked.
"Are you absolutely sure you, like, got the right room number Bobby?" said Kitty, getting slightly annoyed.
"For the fifteenth time yes, Kitty!" Bobby snapped.
"Well, it was really late when he called Bobby, and you can't remember where you live sometimes." Jubilee giggled
"Not you too Jubes?" Bobby asked rhetorically.
"Well I don't know what kind of friend would call so late and invite you over to not even…." Amara started before the others bombarded her with "Shut up Amara's" by the other three.

"How did I?" Marc huffed as he sat up in bed, unaware that he had visitors. He leaped up, not immediately realizing that his leg did not hurt at all. He ran to the broken mirror. He looked as normal as ever, well, without the shredded shirt and jacket revealing a 5-inch scar across his chest and the enormously bloody pants with the hole in the thigh.

"Marc are you in here buddy?" said Bobby flatly.
This time, aware of someone at the door, "Hold on - I'm coming."
When the door opened they saw a tall, muscular, lightly tanned, kind of cute looking (Note: Only to the girls) boy with trashed clothes and blood all over.
"What the heck happened to you Marc?" Bobby wondered.
"Umm…long story." Marc replied gesturing for them to enter. "Welcome to paradise." he said as his guests entered the slummy room.
"What happened to you and your clothes?" Jubilee asked, pointing.
"I had a little accident last night, Nothing big." he replied.
"Are you sure?" Kitty asked and received a look from him declaring, "What did I just say?" "Okay, sorry for being concerned." she stated. Amara giggled to herself in the corner and quickly stopped when she received a glare from Kitty.
"Hey Marco, what's with the free show? The girls are drooling' all over the place, man, put a new shirt on!" Bobby joked only to be met with stiff faces from the girls, and a slight chuckle from Marc.
"See you haven't lost your sense of humor, Bob." Marc snickered "So who are the pretty girls?" he asked Bobby in trying to sound cool, but wound up sounding kind of like a pervert.
"Well, the one in the yellow jacket is Jubilation Lee," he explained.
"Hi, call me Jubilee." she greeted.
"The ditzy one on the bed is Kitty," he continued.
"Bobby!" she screamed.
"And the shy girl standing in the corner staring at the floor is Amara." he concluded.
She looked up and bashfully said, "Hi." blushed and went back to the floor.
"Nice to meet y'all, my name is Marc Maseon."
"We're headed to the mall, want to come along?" Kitty asked spiritedly.
"Um, if you haven't noticed I'm a little messy, if you guys hang out for a little while I could clean up." Marc asked.
"Sure." Jubilee answered.
"Hold on!" Marc said as he paused with sly grin on his face. "Bobby Drake, on a mall crawl, is there something 'different' about you?"
"Shut Up! The only reason I came with them is because Kitty had to drive, the Prof….The Dean." The Girls gave Bobby some strange looks. "Okay. You see I don't have my license yet." Bobby said with a little shame in his voice."
"Whatever? I'm going to hop in the shower and clean up." Marc stated.
"And I think I saw a vending machine outside, so vend I shall!" Bobby announced.
"What are we supposed to do?" Amara wondered.
"Why don't you just read those magazines on the nightstand, they look pretty current." Bobby said making his outrance.
The girls waited until Marc turned the shower on to start so their talking went unheard.
"Look at that leather jacket, that would look so hot on Me." exclaimed Jubilee.
"Do you realize how many cows suffered and were killed to make that?!" Kitty hollered in disgust.
"Besides, you only like it because it's yellow, Jubilee." added Amara.
"Hey, if you didn't melt my pleather one when you went all Magma on it, I wouldn't need a new one." Jubilee reminded.
"How 'bout we call it even. You did blast my Social Studies project, besides I couldn't that that slime ball Toad attacked me, I had to burn him." replied Amara
"Speaking of slime balls Lance has been a jerk these last couple of weeks, making little dirty jokes about me and all." said Kitty.
"Well you did break his heart when you broke up with him, did you expect him to be your best friend?" Amara pointed out.
"Yeah and…..shhh!" Jubilee cut herself off as Marc exited the bathroom.
"Hey." everyone said at the same time. (A/N: Creepy)
"I overheard your conversation, are you guys mutants? Not that it matters." Marc asked.
"Did you like, listen to us?" questioned Kitty, with a raised eyebrow.
"I've got good hearing," he answered "sorry."
"Yeah we are." Jubilee answered hesitantly.
"Does…Bobby know?" he asked innocently."
"He's one too. Didn't you know?" Amara answers.
"No." Marc answers.
Bobby enters the room with a mouth full of M&M's
"Hewllow." he says with the tiny candies in his mouth.
"So you're a mutant Bobby?" Marc asked
Bobby's eyes widened.
- To the Mall -
"Girls we'll all meet in the food court when were done!" Bobby yelled to them, sounding like a parent.
"Whatever!" They replied.
So Marc and Bobby headed through the food court to a bench to talk.
Bobby started hesitantly "I haven't been honest with you, I'm a mutant."
"So am I." Marc added.
"Yeah right, you can't just say you're a mutant, you actually need to have powers, check this out." Bobby demonstrates by freezing a napkin.
"Wow, well but what do you call this?" Marc said, as he looked and concentrated on a nearby napkin and it burst into flames than he extinguished it by blinking.
"Holy crap Marc!" Bobby gasped.
"Told you I was a mutant," Marc replied grimacing "Damn that hurts every time I do it."
"When we are done here I want to take you to talk to someone at the institute." Bobby informed.
"Why, Who?" Marc asked
"Well the institute is a place where mutants learn to control their powers and live normal lives, Professor Charles Xavier he can help." Bobby responded.
"But, your parents said that it's a boarding school?" a confused Marc said.
"That's just what they think," Bobby replied. "How about your parents, Marc, why would they let you come all the way out here alone?" Bobby asked.
"Bobby, my parents are dead." Marc said with a shiver.
"What? How?!" Bobby Exclaimed.
They sat down on a near by bench outside the CD shop and Marc told him the entire story; Bobby was, needless to say, shocked.
"I'm sorry dude, but don't blame yourself man, it wasn't your fault." Bobby attempted to console his friend.
"I know, but it's just hard. That's why I'm here though, to start a new life hopefully."
"Hey we're waiting, let's go." Jubilee shouted.
"It's best to not keep them waiting," said Bobby "Come on I'll tell you more on the way."
