In the X- Mansion
Author's Note: Kala May later to be known as Draca is my own OC. Bobby, Logan and the rest of the X-Men are property of Marvel Comics. Oh and I own the suits and their boss.
"Wow." Kala stared up at the X- Mansion in awe.
"It's home and just wait 'til you meet the Professor." Bobby's enthusiasm was a little too much.
Logan thought, I hope the Professor's not gonna be mad at us for this. And I hope we can help her. He remembered the suits. Growling he added, and fix those no good bastards.
As she entered the mansion, Kala looked around in amazement. Surely this wasn't the base for the X-Men and a school for mutants. It was too nice, too large. She followed the two men down the hall in a daze.
Charles Xavier was sitting looking out the window when the door to his office burst open and Bobby Drake's voice rang out. "We're back, Professor. And we brought a new student."
"I'm aware of that," he said as he turned around. "And there's no need to worry Logan, I won't get mad over an orphan being brought home." His gaze traveled to the girl. He saw a girl of perhaps 16 or 17, dressed in kaki cargo pants, a tan t-shirt and long brown duster. Her brown hair flowed down to her waist and her golden eyes where bright with curiosity as she scanned his office. He smiled. "Please wait for her out in the hall. And Bobby, run and tell Storm and Rogue to prepare a room for a teenaged girl, preferably one in the 16 to 18 range." The golden eyes rested on him and the girl smiled. Bobby and Logan left, the former grumbling and the latter trying to keep a straight face.
"Sit down, child, and tell me about yourself." The Professor's kind words had calmed Kala and she sat across from his wheelchair. With a look of amusement on her face she asked, "And how much do you already know about me, Professor Xavier?"
He smiled. "How much did Bobby gush on the way here?"
"Not much. They're both hard to read." She looked to one side then back at Xavier. "Let's be honest here. You're poking at my mind and I'm poking at yours. We're both telepaths but you're the stronger and I can only get in if I'm let in." She shrugged off her duster and stretched her wings. "These shouldn't surprise you. Nor should this:" A stream of fire came from her mouth. "Nor this:" The fire changed to ice thin disappeared. "Very impressive, young lady," Professor X smiled. "Now in addition to your demonstration, your name is Kala May. Your parents used to work for the government in some manner but quit when they realized that you had dragon-like qualities. They where murdered by men you suspect work for their former boss. That was ten years ago. They've been trying to catch you ever since. Am I right?" Kala nodded. "I've also found that I can use my fire and ice to heal myself and others. I'm also very strong."
Professor X nodded. He had picked up that bit from Bobby and Logan's thoughts on the fight they'd witnessed. "I think we'll call you Draca, a feminine form of Draco. Is that acceptable?" Kala's face brightened and she nodded.
At that moment there was a knock on the door. "Come in." The door opened and two beautiful women entered. One had dark skin and white hair and the other looked like a Southern belle except for the streak of white in her hair. "Storm, Rogue, this is Kala May. Her name among us will be Draca."
The women greeted Kala and whisked her away to her new quarters. Logan looked in from the door and Xavier nodded for him to enter. Logan closed the door behind him and sat down. "How can we help her, Professor? She's strong but needs help. She scared to after those creeps on her own but doesn't know who to ask." He sighed. "I feel helpless and can't shake the feeling she needs us more then she realizes."
Xavier nodded and conveyed his thought to Logan. The man nodded and left and Charles Xavier went back to looking out his window.
