Two

I followed behind the Professor and Logan as they went down the hallway. I could easily hear the sound of Logan's footsteps and the Professor's wheelchair so it wasn't that hard to follow them, before long I heard the Professor stopped his wheelchair.

"I must leave you two now, but I hope to speak with you after Harper." The Professor said. "I am about to go see and old colleague of mine."

"Bye Professor." I said as I listened to the sounds of his wheelchair heading down another hallway.

"Logan!" came an excited voice. "You're back." She seemed to notice me whoever this girl was. "Who's this?"

"I'm Harper." I replied before he could. "New student here."

"Oh it's nice to meet you. I'm Rogue." She stated. I heard more footsteps. "And this is Bobby."

I assumed that the new set of footsteps belong to Bobby. Again the thought of reading their minds popped into my mind. Rogue seemed nice enough but then again things came be deceiving. And then there was Bobby. I decided the hell with privacy and I probed Bobby's thoughts first.

Oh great now we have to take care of the blind kid. She probably can't do anything on her own.

"Hey!" I said out loud. "I heard that." I mentally gave him a slap on the back of the head.

"Ow what the heck just happened?" he said angrily. I smirked and laughed at him. Suddenly out of no where I heard my bag unzip behind me. Shit.

"Meow" Rose jumped onto my shoulder. I could feel their eyes boring into me. I could almost picture their faces as they stared at my buddy.

"Hi." Rose said sweetly. Now their jaws were probably hanging wide open.

"Rose….get back in the bag!" I whispered urgently.

"Why?" she asked jumping off of my shoulder and onto the floor. "It's so much nicer out here than in that stuffy bag and boy does it stink in there."

"Hey!" I snapped.

"Uh Harper two things…..first why do you have a cat and second WHY THE HELL IS IT TALKING!?" Logan shouted.

"Um…well…she's kinda my…..best friend." I replied. "And if I left her with my parents they wouldn't have taken care of her."

"Okay, but that still doesn't explain why she talking." Rogue said.

"Um…she's a shape shifter." I replied, hoping that they wouldn't ask anymore questions. "Haven't you ever seen a shape shifter before?"

"What did you think I was a goldfish?" Rose said exploring the room. "I mean hello there really isn't any other explanation."

"I'm sure you guys have seen stranger things." I said trying to change the subject. "I mean look at me I'm blind but I can still see in a way. Just not all the time."

"Well I guess your right." Logan replied.

"Bobby you really shouldn't have thought that earlier." I said going A-D-D, remembering what had happened before Rose had jumped at out of my bag.

"What?" he asked lost.

"About how you guys would have to take care of a blind kid. And how I probably couldn't take care of myself without help." I replied bluntly.

"Oh that sorry." he said.

"No big deal most people think that when they meet me."

"Well we have to get going." Rogue said cutting in. "Bye Logan, Harper. It was nice meeting you."

I heard both Rogue's and Bobby's footsteps as the walked off. Now it was just me Logan and Rose or so I thought. The next thing I knew I heard more footsteps coming from done a set of stairs. Oh great more people meet. It wasn't that I didn't want to meet them it was just four people are enough for one day. But I guess I would just have to put up with meeting them.

"Logan," I heard a lady say. "you're just in time. We need a babysitter."

"A what?" he asked.

"This must be Harper." she said ignoring his question. "The Professor said you would be picking her up. I'm Storm."

"Nice to meet you." I replied.

"Logan." this time it was another lady. I heard her footsteps as she walked down the stairway. "Who's this?"

"Harper." I replied quickly. Man I was getting tired of hearing my own name.

"Nice to meet you Harper I'm Dr. Jean Grey but you can call my Jean." she replied.

"We are headed to find a mutant for the Professor." Storm said. "Scott and the Professor and going to be gone as well and we need you to watch the kids just for tonight."

"Okay, now what about Harper?" he asked.

"I'll show her to her room." stated Storm. "Come on Harper."

"Rose get in the bag now." I stated firmly remembering the cat before I walked off.

"Fine." she said jumping into the bag on my back. I could tell that Storm and Jean were surprised.

"I know she can talk. We've been through it before." I said before either of them could ask. I walked quickly towards the stairs and began following along behind Storm. It didn't talk long before she stopped and I heard the sound of a door opening.

"Thanks." I said.

"You're welcome." she replied.

"Rose get out of the bag now!" I said angrily after Storm had left.

"Hmm nope." she replied.

"Get your butt out of the bag now!"

"Hmm still no."

"Why the hell not?"
"Cause I know you'll strangle me."

"No I just want to talk to you." I was getting impatient.

"Okay." I heard her come out from the bag.

"Why did you do that down there?"

"Do what?"

"You know what?"

"I don't know?"

"You are impossible."

"And improbable."

"You are so strange."

"I could say the same thing about you blind girl."

"Hey!"

"You asked for it."

"Do you want keep your ears?"

"Uh I could do without them."

Before for I could reply I heard a knock on the door. Oh great another person to meet. When will it end. I went to the door and opened it. Obviously I couldn't see who was there so I had to rely on Rose to tell me.

"TUNA!" yelled Rose unexpectedly.

"What did your cat just say?" asked the person at the door. It was a guy I could tell that much.
