AN: Wow thanks for the reviews. Didn't expect to get any that soon. Thoughts are in italics. Bold italics is someone speaking in thought. But yeah on with the story:

Chapter 1:Awakening
"Shh, sweetie. You're safe now." A soothing voice coos into my ear over the rattle of nearby machinery as I return to the world of the living.
"Uhh...my head." I moan as a pounding headache greets me.
"Jean, can you see if you can find some more aspirin or something else?" My eyes fly open as everything comes back. I practically fly off the soft hospital bed, pushing the white-haired woman sitting near me on the floor. As I continued to move away from the bed I heard a loud POP and felt a sharp pain in my hand. Where an IV had been blood was now flowing. Thoughts chase each other like rabbits while I take in my surroundings. Crap, I don't see a door. Where am I now? They're getting too close to me. I shrink against the wall as I hear, no...feel thoughts in my head that aren't mine. Just relax. Go back to sleep. We're not going to hurt you. As I listen my vision becomes tinged with black. I fight the urge to go to sleep but the voice wins as a man in a metallic wheelchair comes into the room. All I have time to notice is the hypnotic blue glow of his eyes before conciousness slips away yet again.

Charles gave the girl a sad smile as Kurt caught her inches from the floor. She had tried to fight him and nearly won.
"I wish I didn't have to do that but we need her calm until we figure out who she is. Let's move her to one of the guest rooms and then meet in my office. Oh and Kurt..."
"I know, herr Professor, don't teleport her there. It might make her sick." Kurt said with an exasperated grin.

Oh.My.Gosh. I have died and gone to Hell. was the first thought I had as stared into the face of a demon. I tried not to move for the fear that...wait if I was already dead what did it matter? As quick as I could I made to knock the breath out of him. Before I could move though the demon, handsome demon come to think of it, laid me onto a soft bed as gently as a mother would her babe. As he backs away so I can see him fully, I realize who he is. It's Nightcrawler from my X-men comic books. He stopped moving when he saw my eyes, big as dinner plates, staring at him. He broke our staring contest with a flick of his hand to turn his holowatch on.
"Too late." I said giving him a grim smile. I could tell he was talking to the professor by the look of concentration on his face. Seconds later, I heard the voice from earlier. Nikki, I think we need to talk.
