While the rest of the class was stretching in preparation for PE, Dean and Sasha were standing off in the corner of the gym while Dean spoke "So I'm guessing that Liv skipped school to stay with Becky then".

Sasha nodded "That's what she texted me, I'm telling you Dean I've never seen anything like it. Especially from Becky, she just snapped, yelling at imaginary people, calling out our names, and the way her eyes were just glowing red when she was freaking out just gave me all types of bad vibes".

Sasha had already explained to Dean in greater detail about the events that happened to Becky. Neither of the two could come up with a reasonable explanation as to what may have caused Becky to act the way she did. All they could really do was be there for her and hope it doesn't happen again. Before the two could talk any further, the teacher had come out and announced to the class that since it was the week before Thanksgiving break that the class would take it easy and just have free days all week long.

As Dean and Sasha walked toward a group a kids Dean leaned in close to Sasha "Let's just keep this to ourselves for now. God forbid someone like Nikki finds out and starts spreading rumors. Does anyone other than you and Liv know".

Sasha then groaned in annoyance, "Yeah, that new girl Bayley knows. Gosh, I knew it was a mistake bringing her with us, but Becky had to be nice. Don't worry though, I'll make sure she doesn't say anything".

Dean nervously chuckled "I think it would be better if I talked to her, besides Becky mentioned me and her have a class together so I guess I'll just have to introduce myself".

Sasha sucked her teeth, but remained silent. Once meeting up with some of their classmates they agreed to play a game of Dodgeball. Once they equally divided themselves in half to form two teams, they used one of the two basketball courts for their game. Sasha and Dean were on the same team, and once everything was sorted out and all the balls were lined up in the middle of two teams at half court, the teacher blew his whistle signifying the start of the match. As some of the kids ran to center court to grab a ball, Sasha hanged back and waited. About 30 seconds in, one of the other kids threw the ball at Sasha witch she caught, also knocking that kid out in the process. Now with a ball in her hand Sasha scanned the other team and picked out her target, a boy named Sami Zayn. Once having her victim picked out Sasha cocked her arm back and launched the ball as hard as she could, but something felt off. It felt as if the ball came out faster and stronger than usual. It wasn't just a feeling, the ball flew out of Sasha's hand like a bullet. Luckily for Sami, he just so happened to duck and the ball went right over his head. As the ball buzzed by him, you could hear a whistling noise until it hit the wall and exploded on impact, it sounded as if a gun shot was fired and startled the entire class.

Everybody stopped and looked at Sasha, who was currently staring at the spot on the wall where her ball exploded, unsure as to what exactly happened "What… the fuck was that".

While Sasha was lost in thought the opposing team took this opportunity to throw their dodgeball at Sasha and knock her out. She didn't even notice she had been hit, all Sasha could do was look at her hand completely at a loss by that surge of power she just had. It wasn't until the gym teacher blew his whistle and announced that Sasha had been knocked out of the game, when she had finally walked off the court. She wandered off to the second basketball court the gym had, where no one else seemed to be occupying. Many things were going through Sasha's mind, did she cause the ball to do that, or could it have just been because the ball was old. Even if that was the case, that didn't change the way her arm felt as she threw it, it was like her arm got a huge power up the instant she threw the ball.

After about a minute Dean jogged over to Sasha "Yo you ok, what was that?"

Sasha shrugged "You got me, did I really throw the ball that hard?"

Dean rubbed his chin and try to come up with something "Look, obviously, something freaky is going on here. So for right now let's just forget about it and shoot the basketball until class is over".

Sasha nodded her head. When it came to Dean, Sasha was always a little nicer. Seeing as they have been friends the longest she felt comfortable enough with him where she didn't have to be so stuck up all the time. Dean found a basketball and decided the two would play a game of H.O.R.S.E, until class was over. Dean passed the ball to Sasha, who stepped behind the three point line and shot the ball. However, that same feeling she felt when she threw the dodgeball happened again when she shot the basketball. The next thing she knew the backboard to the basketball net was shattered into a million pieces.

Dean scratched the back of his head and chuckled "Well, maybe we should stop throwing things all together huh."

Sasha took a step back to analyze her situation as more and more members of the class walked over to see what caused the shattering sound. Dean quickly came up with a lie to keep the attention off Sasha, but whispers among the class were already beginning. After seeing what she did to the dodgeball and the backboard of the basketball net Sasha had a pretty good idea of what was going on. She had no idea when or why but it seemed as if she had developed some kind of power, making her a mutant.

Back atop the building was again the mystery man who was looking down at the school, in that moment his phone began to ring. He picked it up and answered "I'm assuming Sasha's powers are coming in".

The man on the line hummed "Yeah, she has no control over it whatsoever, this could be dangerous for everyone else if she stays at school".

The man on the building sighed "Very well, I'll create a situation that will force the school to let the kids home early. Luckily, it's the week before thanksgiving, that should give the kids enough time to have some control over their powers".

With no arguments the other man agreed "Sounds good boss".

Hanging up the phone the man sat back down on the edge of the building "Now, how can I get these kids out of school for the rest of the week".

Then a smile grew on the face of the man as he disappeared in a blaze to put his plan into motion.

30 Minutes Later

As fate would have it, one of the schools main water pipes had burst, causing the schools to evacuate their students to the school's football field.

As the stands of the football field filled up, Bayley and Dakota were cutting through a massive crowd of students just so they can sit in what Dakota described as "the best seats" at the top corner of the stands.

"Man, two days here and there's already been a mutant attack, Nikki wants to kill you, Sasha hates you and now the schools water pipe bursts." Dakota laughed "It's like your bad juju or something".

While it was only meant to be taken as a joke Bayley couldn't help but think there might be some truth to that. There was also the incident with Becky the night before. After all, seeing Becky completely break down like that, along with everything Dakota just said, it really does almost seem like Bayley's presence has set off a chain reaction of events. None the less Bayley didn't tell Dakota about Becky, even though the two really hit it off and Bayley didn't think Dakota would tell anyone, she decided to just keep it to herself for Becky's sake.

As the two continued to talk Bayley couldn't help but feel as if she was being watched. She didn't know why, but it felt like there was a pair of eyeballs burning a hole in the back of her head. After looking back a couple times and not finding anything she just assumed it was her imagination.

However, she wasn't completely wrong, the same man who has been watching them was now on the roof of the school. He was the one that broke the water pipe and he stopped by to make sure his plan worked and if Bayley and Sasha were safe before disappearing once again.

Bayley then felt the elbow of Dakota lightly jab her "Bayley I want to tell you something".

Bayley looked up at Dakota who seemed more serious than usual "Do you see Nikki and her click down there".

Bayley again nodded as Dakota continued "Well, I think you should know a little more about them, since they're going to be a thorn in your side for now on. I want to start with her tall friend Alicia Fox. She's definitely the muscle of the group and does a lot of Nikki's dirty work, basically anything Nikki doesn't feel like dealing with or thinks is too risky Alicia does it. She thinks she's Nikki's friend, but really is just a tool Nikki likes to use".

Bayley nodded, once Dakota noticed she moved on "Then there's Brie, she's the nicest out of them all, and it's not hard to see she doesn't agree with what her sister is doing".

"Then why does she go along with it"

Dakota sighed "You see the Bella family is notorious for being very anti mutant. Her mother and father are politicians who often call for mutants to be separated and monitored. They always get shot down, but it's not impossible that one day they could succeed. Anyway, with a family like that, she's probably so scared to go against them that she just goes with it. I don't know if that makes up for what she does, but at least I can understand it".

Bayley looked on as Dakota's eyes were glued on the leader of the group "Then there's Nikki, she orchestrates everything that goes on between the three of them. Not to mention she has a ton of followers who are chomping at the bit to do what she wants. She takes right after her parents and hates us mutants more than anything. The beating you saw her give me in the stairwell was nothing. One time I had to go to the hospital and was out of school for a week because of her. Quite frankly, if she had a way and could kill all of us in an instant I think she'd take it without a moment of hesitation".

Bayley took a quick glance at Nikki, she knew that Nikki was mean to her, but she had no idea she was this ruthless. How could one person have so much hate in them, especially for a group of people who had no control on who they are and destined to be.

"Bayley" Dakota said, putting a hand on Bayley's shoulder "If there's one thing Nikki hates more than mutants, it's humans who support mutants. Since she knows that your friends with me, she's going to try and hurt you. If that happens, don't be a hero, run or better yet call me".

Although she was extremely taken away by Dakota's kindness, Bayley couldn't help but wonder why she would be so concerned for her "Not that I'm not grateful that you have my back, but why are you so willing to help and risk getting hurt for me".

Dakota then looked Bayley in her eyes and cupped her cheek "it's because I'm in love with you".

Bayley's jaw dropped and she began to stutter unsure of the right thing to say, then Dakota started laughing, "I'm just fucking with you".

Bayley sighed a breath of relief, while Dakota calmed down her laughing "Anyway, the real reason is it's because of what you said yesterday. You talked about humans and mutants letting go of the past and working towards peace. There aren't a lot of people that think that way. I don't know. I guess I'd hate to see someone like Nikki try and change you".

It was strange to Bayley that she hadn't even been in her new town for even a week yet and she already met two people who are willing to look after her and want to help her. This also meant that Bayley wanted to return the favor as well, she didn't want to become dead weight that is just a nuisance to the people around her. Now even though Bayley wasn't a fighter, she would make herself useful to her friends in any way possible. This was a promise Bayley made for herself.

"Thanks Dakota, that means a lot".

This school was different than any other Bayley had been to, in most cases the number of humans was equal to the number of mutants. With only 20% of the school being mutants, it was clear that some of the human students were very hesitant of mutants. They were probably scared they could hurt them or felt inferior to them, most students didn't even give this a second thought, but it was the students like Nikki who took things to the next level. Whatever her reasonings maybe, Bayley knew she was going to be a problem. Not just for her, but for all her friends.

"Oh, there you are" Dean said, popping out of nowhere "this evacuation sucks huh, seriously cutting into my sleep schedule".

Bayley chuckled and Dakota waved at Dean, as he took a seat next to Bayley "You know I heard about Becky catching the flu. Me, Sasha, and Liv are actually going to see her after school if you want to come".

Now this was an interesting turn of events for Bayley, as far as she knew, only she and the girls knew about Becky and her meltdown yesterday. She was unaware of the fact Dean already knew so she just played along.

"Yeah, sounds great" Bayley said "When do you think we could leave".

"Well…" Dean said, looking back and forth from his watch and the evacuating students "We could leave right now actually, the teachers took attendance and Sasha and Liv already left".

Although Bayley would love to go and check up on Becky, she also didn't want to leave Dakota hanging.

Who took notice of this "Oh no, don't stay on my account i'll be fine, besides, I need to look for my friend Tegan anyway".

Once having the green light Bayley gave Dakota a hug goodbye before following Dean as he snuck the two out and made their way to the student parking lot. As they walked, Bayley couldn't help but look over her shoulder just in case a teacher might catch them. Bayley prided herself on being a good student, but prided herself even more so on being a better friend. If it were for any other reason she wouldn't have even considered leaving school early without permission.

As the two made it to the parking lot Dean then suddenly stopped and faced Bayley "Ok, now that we're alone, I need to ask you. Did you tell anyone about Becky's incident yesterday".

"You know about that" Bayley whispered before looking around "And no I didn't, I didn't even tell Dakota."

Dean nodded his head, "Yeah, Sasha told me, and it's a good thing you didn't. So for right now lets just head over to her place and see what's going on".

Then next thing Bayley knew, a helmet was thrown at her knocking her back a step as she was barely able to catch it "You might want to put that on".

Dean hopped onto an old looking Harley. He could hear Bayley yelp as he revved up the engine. Bayley has never been on a motorcycle before, so she had a massive feeling of anxiety building up in her stomach.

"I-Is that safe" She asked inspecting the bike.

"Hell yeah, just hang onto my waist like I'm Rose from Titanic" Dean joked as he revved the engine a few more times.

Putting the helmet on, Bayley then tentatively climbed onto the back seat of the motorcycle that she thought was way too small. Once somewhat comfortable with her position, she then put her feet on the foot rest of the bike.

"Don't worry ponytail, since it's your first time I'll go nice and slow" Dean looked back with a sly grin.

Bayley turned a shade a red at the dirty comment. However, she would soon be red for another reason, as Dean took off like a speeding bullet out of the parking lot and into oncoming traffic.

"YOU LIER, WHAT HAPPENED TO NICE AND SLOW!" Bayley screamed, and she cries for help being heard for miles.

10 minutes Later

Sasha had already arrived at Becky's apartment by the time Dean and Bayley got there. When Dean walked in, the girls wondered where Bayley was until they found her stuck to Dean's back visibly shaken.

"You brought her here on your bike didn't you" Becky asked, sitting legs crossed on the couch.

"Well Sasha didn't want to do it, what other option did I have."

At this point Dean was trying to pry Bayley off his back, but she latched onto him with an iron grip. Sasha just smirked, ignoring a glare from Becky, after a few more attempts Bayley finally let go and fell down on the couch Becky was on.

Dean took a sigh of relief before turning back to Becky "Anyway, how are you feeling. Any more incidents".

"Well… yes, but it's a little different from yesterday" Becky said while playing with her fingers.

"What do you mean" Bayley asked, still laying down on her back with her arm covering her face.

In that same moment Bayley began to feel very hot all of a sudden, almost as if she was sitting in front of a bonfire. She moved her arm slightly to see that the couch she and Becky were on had caught on fire. Bayley then jumped up to avoid getting burned, but in that same moment she heard a loud spraying sound then was covered with a freezing white mist. Much to the amusement of Sasha.

It was Liv who was holding a fire extinguisher in her hand with a plain expression on her face "She can't stop setting things on fire".

Becky then began to nervously chuckle while she scratched the back of her head. It is clear to everyone that something big was happening to them. Once everybody sat down they went through the events that led up to this point. First it started with Becky having her meltdown, she also admitted about the voices she was hearing and how the room seems to change as if she was hallucinating. Although it wasn't just her who had been holding back information.

"Well, since we're being honest" Sasha said "Last night when I got home, I collapsed and couldn't move at all. My entire body was sore and it felt like I had worked out every muscle in my body",

Sasha went on to explain how she couldn't even walk on her own anymore because of the pain, her cousins had to carry her to her bed. They even needed to help her eat because she couldn't pick up a fork to bring the food to her mouth. It was only through sheer willpower and stubbornness that she didn't need help going to the bathroom.

Everyone already had a pretty good idea of what was happening here and Dean decides he would be the one to say it out loud "There's no doubt about it, you two are definitely mutants".

Sasha and Becky were silent, obviously deep down, they already knew this. Even so, this was something that was going to change their lives forever and knowing the way some of the people in their town feel about mutants they knew it was going to be a rough transition.

Sasha then looked at Dean "So what do we do now".

Dean, who was now no longer the only other person in the group who has powers "Well, I guess you guys are going to have to learn how to keep your powers under control".

"Where can we go to do that?" Becky asked.

Dean then threw his head back as he tried to think, then a light bulb went off "Oh, how about the waterfall, no one goes there anymore so we wouldn't have to worry about anyone bothering us".

Everyone nodded their head and agreed that the waterfall was the best place to practice. They also agreed that they would keep the fact that Sasha and Becky had powers a secret for now. Sasha looked at her hands and clenched them, she was conflicted with this new found power. She had no hate towards mutants, but at the same time she wasn't a fan either.

Becky had a much different take, she was excited to have these powers. She had long dreamed of being able to protect her friends, but also anyone else that needed it. To make sure that no one had to grow up without parents like she had to. Becky smiled at the thought and was ready for whatever it would take to master her powers and use them to make a difference.

Becky then jumped up on her two feet and looked at her friends "Well, what are we waiting for, let's get started!"

Becky could feel the blood coursing through her veins and the excitement build up as you could see the fire in her eyes. Problem was, it wasn't just her eyes, it was now her entire body beginning to flare up. Liv then sprayed her down with another shot of the fire extinguisher.

"Seriously, you gotta stop doing that".

Becky laughed "Right… sorry".
