Chapter Two

It was annoying, really. She couldn't stand it, and she'd only been there for less than a day. That Remy kid wouldn't leave her alone, and was, much to her dismay, in every single one of her classes.

All she wanted was to learn to control the one power that drove her to attempt to run away from home, the ability to cause really bad luck. At that moment, however, it seemed like she had the bad luck, because he was asking… No, telling her he was taking her to a dance at the school.

"C'mon! Try to have some fun." Remy said.

"Fun? Sorry, that's not in my vocabulary. I just want to get on with my life, and go home." Jen snapped.

"Did you run away?"

"I tried… My mother caught me trying to hotwire her car. Please just leave me alone." Jen said.

"No… Come on… What harm could there be if we got to know each other?"

"That's none of your business." Jen said.

"So you want to be miserable your entire stay… Well, if you want to hang out, you know where to find me." Remy left.

"I can't tell him…My mother and father would be furious. But… I'm a teenager…No. This is the life I chose when I joined the agency. I can't afford to have friends in this kind of life." Jen thought.

With a sigh, she went and sat outside in the bright sun to think. It wasn't like she didn't want friends, per-say… She just didn't want to risk the lives of others. She was always putting others first.

She could feel a gentle breeze caressing her pale cheeks, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She could feel it in the pit of her stomach, and it was beginning to make her sick. No longer feeling safe, she stood to leave, and almost did… Until she was knocked out from behind.

"LET HER GO!" Remy shouted.

"Or what?" the stranger holding Jen asked.

"I'll blow you up. Let her go, Magneto."

"No… If you blow me up, you blow her up as well." Magneto said.

"Oh, my head… Some asshole hit me! Damn it! Who is… Magneto? The bad guy? Boy… I can't escape these situations. Looks like these guys have a lot to lose… Maybe having friends wouldn't be so bad. Especially since I now know that they have to fight Magneto… But friends only… Nothing more." Jen thought.

Since she was coming to, she telekinetically threw him far away from her. Unfortunately, she forgot that he had been holding her, and the corresponding result was her ass hitting the ground. This, in turn, caused Remy to chuckle.

"Are you ok, Jenny?"

"Don't call me Jenny. Call me Jen." she snapped.

"C'mon, I'll get you something to drink. Like hot chocolate?"

"With French vanilla? Sure… Remy, I was thinking… Maybe being friends would be cool… But I won't go beyond "friend". 'K?" Jen asked.

"Yeah… C'mon… We've got Self Defense Class next." Remy said.

"Why?"

"Because of what just happened… But, the class we're in is different. Professor Monroe wants you to join the X Men. We all do… You'd be a great addition to the team. Whaddya say?" Remy asked.

"Sounds like fun." Jen smiled.

"Come on then. We're in the Danger Room." "Danger Room? That is not a good name for that!" Jen said.

"Don't be a wuss."

"Don't be an ass!" Jen retorted.

"Ooh… Cat's got claws… And a colorful vocabulary."

"Yep… and I'm not afraid to use them." Jen said as they walked into the school.

Jen smiled, friends were cool, so , naturally, she was going to have as many as she could. And her list of friends would get increase quite a bit. Still, she wasn't so sure of Remy LeBeau, he seemed too nice, and it was bothering her.

"Jen! Jeez… You've got the attention span of a gnat! These guys are Kitty, Bobby, Rogue, Colossus, Logan, and Mr. McCoy." Remy said.

"Oh! Hi…"

"What's your nickname?" Kitty asked.

"Jinx."

"Why Jinx?" Bobby asked.

"I can cause my enemies really bad luck… But, I can't control it, so Professor Monroe gave me an inhibitor." Jen said.

"Righty-o then… Let's get a move on. Jinx, we're going to start you off easy, and Kitty, and Gambit are going to help you." Logan said.

"Question…. Why is it called the Danger Room?" Jen asked.

"Because we use holographic projections to simulate combat situations. You have to work as a team, and you have to complete the mission in the allotted time. Alright?" Rogue said.

"Ok… This will be interesting. Let's do it." Jen sighed.

Feeling less than confident, Jen followed Gambit, and Kitty to the room. It looked like a normal metal motif room, and it was beginning to worry Jen, that she wouldn't do well at all. After all, she didn't do too good when her parents took her to the simulators at the agency.

"Alright… Jinx, your first mission is to rescue the little boy being guarded by soldiers. You have ten minutes. Ready?" Bobby said over the intercom.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Jen said.

"Alright, I'm turning on the simulator." Bobby said.

Suddenly, Jen was looking at a large building surrounded by soldiers from Magneto's mutant army. Her eyes ran up and down the length of the building until she was able to locate the boy. Telepathy was her best friend.

"He's in the third story room on the west side. There should be a few vents somewhere… The problem is entrance, and exit." Jen said.

"Well, I could provide the diversion, you and Kitty can go and get the boy. She can phase, so you'll get in faster. Sound good?" Remy said.

"Sounds good to me… What about you, Kitty?" Jen asked.

"Sounds perfect, let's go." Kitty smiled.

Kitty, and Jinx hid as Gambit began the diversion, which consisted of ten thousand explosions right in front of the soldiers, who ran after him. Once the coast was clear, they ran into the building, and into the nearest vent. Jen, using her telepathy, made her way, with Kitty, to the third story room on the west side.

"There…Phase us down Kitty." Jen said.

"'K."

Suddenly, they were standing right in front of the boy, who, conveniently, was tied and gagged. Jen, using telekinesis, untied him, un-gagged him, then reassured him that they were friends. Smiling, she turned to Kitty, who grabbed them, and phased outside just as the soldiers ran into the room.

"Got him?" Gambit panted.

"Yes… Are you ok?" Jen asked.

"Yeah, I just ran around the entire complex while you guys got him. LOOK OUT!" Gambit shouted as a chunk of metal came flying at them.

With out thinking, Jinx blew it up while it flew, and telekinetically threw Magneto to China. Gambit had to laugh, because her face was precious. She was startled, the entire thing was over in three minutes, and the mission was completed perfectly.

"I did pretty good… No. We did good. I never expected it to go so quickly… But it was fun." Jen thought, smiling.

"Nice job, Jinx! Tomorrow we'll move on to something harder. Go rest." Bobby said.

"You did great, Jinx." Remy said as she left to relax.
