Inara's P. O.V

I was woken up by my alarm clock at 7 o'clock; I turned it off but stayed in bed for a bit. Then I remembered what day it is, today is the day that students return, the day Scott comes back. Throwing my covers off I jumped out of bed and opened my wardrobe. I rummage through my clothes before deciding what I was going to wear. I grabbed my clothes and wash kit before going into my bathroom. I'm rather lucky because I was the first student I got my first pick of rooms, I've got a rather large room on the very top floor of the house with an ensuite.

After I showered I got dressed and went back into my room to dry my long hair. Today I was wearing a pair of blue/black wash jeans, a dark red rock rebel skull t-shirt, and a pair of red and black sneakers. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about my leg, basically about a week ago a new mutant came to the school and his mutation is healing. He healed my leg a few days ago. It's still a bit sore but I can walk around without my crutches. Anyway, I left my room whilst tying my hair back into a ponytail. It was obvious to everyone in the house that I was excited about today.

I wasn't sure when Scott would be back, I had a feeling that it would be around midday. Anyway, when I got downstairs, Dad called

"Inara, can you come here for a moment" I turned on my heels and headed straight to his office. When I entered the room I saw Hank and a couple of people in suits.

"What's going on?" Dad then spoke

"Inara these people are with the CIA and they need our help"

"Does this have something to do with the presidential thingy in DC in a couple of days?" one of the suits then spoke

"The president has been sent threats by the Brotherhood of Evil" I then muttered

"Erik" Hank then spoke

"Exactly" another one of the suits then said

"We need you and Dr. McCoy to come with us to DC to protect the president from a potential mutant attack"

"When do we have to leave?"

"In a few hours" before I said anything Dad said

"You're ready for this Inara. It will only be for a few days" I looked at him but hesitated.

I took a deep breath before finally saying

"Are you sure I'm ready after what happened last time?" Hank and Dad looked at each other for a second before Dad looked back at me and said

"You've been training for years, It's time to put that training to good use" I smiled at him and said

"Alright then" Hank then said

"We'll make our own way to DC so we can drink our own equipment" One of the suits then said

"Understandable. We would like to introduce you to the President before his rally. The president chose you guys personally so do us all a favor and don't screw this up…" The two of them then left.

When they were gone I said

"Am I the only one that thinks those two don't like mutants" Hank then said

"I think they don't like the idea that the president has chosen mutants to protect him over the secret service"

"Well I guess it's a step in the right direction" Dad then said

"This could be very good for us. Depending on what happens this could open a lot of doors for mutants and this school" I sat down on the couch whilst saying

"No pressure then"

Dad then turned to hank and said

"Hank, is that little project of ours finished?" Hank smiled and said

"Yes, I finished it last week. Why?"

"Perhaps we should give Inara her present early" I sat up straight in the chair and said

"Present! what present?" Neither of them replied as they began to leave the room. I quickly got off the couch and followed them whilst saying

"Oh come on, you have to tell me now you've mentioned it!" I still didn't get a response so I just shut up and followed them through the house to the elevator for downstairs.

I joined them in the elevator and the ride was silent. I was getting impatient and was tapping against my leg. As the doors opened, Dad said

"Inara, you're thoughts are so loud" I groaned and said

"It's because I don't like being left out of the loop. Come on just tell me!" Hank then said

"Just hold on a little longer, Kid" I went quiet again as I followed them into Hanks lab.

I stood by the wall as they went over to Hank's desk. I then said

"Okay, seriously now what's going on?" The pair of them smiled as Hank pressed a button on his desk. The door beside me then slid open. I turned and was stunned by what I was looking at

"No freaking way!"

2 days later

Scotts P.O.V.

Just about every student in the school is gathered around a TV to watch the President's speech. Well, I say to watch the speech, more like to watch Inara and Hank protecting the president. Peter, Jean, the Professor and myself are watching from the professor's office. Whilst waiting for the rally to begin, Jean said

"Professor, what if Magneto does make a move against the president today?"

"Hank and Inara will be there to stop him" Peter then said

"No offense to Inara but after what happened last time, do you think she'll be able to control her powers" I then said

"Of course she'll be able to control it! How could you say that Peter?" He looked at me and replied

"Because she can't always control it. Every morning she goes for a run around the school grounds and then does an hour of Yoga. She doe…." He was cut off by the professor.

"Peter is right. Inara can't always control her powers, it's always been her greatest struggle. However, Inara knows how important this is for us. She will keep control" Jean then said

"It's starting" We turned our attention back to the TV.

We sat back and watched as the president walked onto the stage and up to the mic.

"Look there's Hank" Hank stood at the corner of the stage in his uniform (AN- Imagine the suit from the end of x-men apocalypse), and all beasted up. We looked for Inara but couldn't see her up on the stage.

The president then began to talk

"Good evening. As most of you know, I've just returned from meetings in Iceland with the leader of the Soviet Union, General Secretary Gorbachev. As I did last year when I returned from the summit conference in Geneva, I want to take a few moments tonight to share with you what took place in these discussions. The implications of these talks are enormous and only just beginning to be understood. We proposed the most sweeping and generous arms control proposal in history. We offered the complete elimination of all ballistic missiles—Soviet and American—from the face of the Earth by 1996. While we parted company with this American offer still on the table, we are closer than ever before to agreements that could lead to a safer world without…."

He was cut off by Hank tackling him to the ground as a metal rod was embedded in the stage. The crowd began running and screaming as the cameras turned to face Erik.

Inara's P.O.V.- 5 minutes earlier

I watched as the president walked onto the stage. Hank was on the stage with him whilst I was watching from a nearby rooftop, leaning up against a wall. I then said to Hank

"This is really boring" I saw him press his finger to his ear as he replied

"It's important, Now pay attention" the next thing I knew Hank had tackled the president to the ground.

"Hank! I'm on my way" within seconds I jumped off the roof and used my powers to slow the descent.

The second my feet hit the ground, I ran through the crowd and towards Erik.

After getting close enough, I sent an energy blast (imagine MCU scarlet witch power) at him knocking him to the ground. As he got up I said

"Miss me" He got to his feet, looked over, and said

"Look whos back her feet and with a new uniform" I gestured to my new uniform and said

"I might as well kick your ass in style"

My new uniform consists of leather trousers, a purple Biker jacket that is longer at the back, Combat boots, a one-shoulder backpack, and a headpiece. (Refer to story cover image).

I then flipped out of the way of some metal beams and landed in front of the stage.

I didn't get a second to regain my composure when 15 large metal beams were thrown towards the stage. Raising my hand, I blocked them. Erik then said

"You try so hard to protect these people that have slaughtered your own kind" he then threw some more beams at me causing me to be pushed back slightly. Trying to hold my ground, I twisted my feet causing rock to form around them and hold them in place.

I then said

"Look around you, Erik. This is not accomplishing anything. You want our people to be equal but you can't do that by scaring everyone. All this scaremongering is just making them hate us more" he used more of his power to try and break my barrier but nothing. He then said

"You could bring our people out of the shadows. Just let go!"

"Go to hell Erik" I then twisted my hands, and they started to shake slightly as I fought against Erik's power.

The metal beams turned towards Erik as I said

"Leave Erik…" Purple energy starter flowing around my hand and felt my eyes change, as I went onto say

"Before I do something I'll regret" He then dropped his hands giving me full control over the metal. He then said

"This isn't over" he then flew off. When I was happy he wasn't going to come back, I used the last of my strength to gently lower the beams to the ground. When they were safely down, I stopped using my power and gave in to the tiredness. My legs gave out and I began to collapse only to be caught by Hank. He wrapped one of my arms around his shoulders before saying

"Good job kid, let's go home"
