What a day. What an amazing start for a newly active mutant. It was about two in the afternoon when some police/military men were ramming down my door to claim me. JEEZ! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! I looked around and saw we were surrounded by a mob. A mob consisting of people I thought were friends of my family. Mrs. Klein who Mom carpooled with daily. Mr. Johnson who I frequently babysat for. Each looked at me with such hate in there eyes. That's graduitude for ya.
My parents put up one heck of a protest, but they knew better to try and stop military men. However when one of the military men seemed to change form into a blue woman with red hair, who ordered an gigantically fat mutant whom she called Blob to grab me, my father just lunged yelling "DON'T YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!" but was knocked back several feet by one swing of Blob's massive arms. At that moment another mutant jumped off of a nearby building onto the scene. I say he was a scruffy man with a freaky looking haircut who had metal knives sticking out of his wrists. He jumped on Blob with no fear just as the military men moved in on all of us.
It was then when it first happened. I lost control. I exploded. I am not kidding. I didn't just get extremly angry. I literally exploded. Lava was pouring out of my hands and which consumed nearly everything around me. That's me Allison Crestmere, walking bomb. Luckily most of the innocent bystanders saw enough before hand to run for it. Mom earlier pulled Dad to safety and the blue woman was on the other side of Blob. Blob and the knife-hands-guy were the only one to recieve much of the blast. The last thing I saw after passing out from exhaustion was the knife-hands-guy being thrown from a nearby window.
I came to moments later being carried by Blob. I had no idea what was going on, but I wasn't about to let this guy who smacked my Dad with abnormal strength get away with kinapping me. At first I was hesitant to use my powers but this guy seemed to take my explosion with nothing but some scorched clothing. A few seconds later I was thrown on the ground as Blob was trying to put a bit of his skin which was burning from the lava I dropped on it. As I got up to try to get away I heard the sound of guns being cocked behind me. A voice I recognized as the blue woman threaten me to calm down and not try anything just as Blob was getting his bearings. I put up my arms in surrender, but then Knife-hands-guy tackled and wrestled Blue Woman. At the same moment a guy with a weird red visor covering his eyes came out of an alley, and some fired some kind of laser beam out of the visor at Blob's head which seemed to knock Blob over. But in the excitment, Blue girl managed to get a shot of her gun which hit knife-hands guy right in the forehead with a clang. I screamed at the sight, but was astounded as knife-hands guy responded by roaring with pain then stabbing blue girl in the shoulder with those knifes. With his free hand he reached up and pulled out the bullet. The wound sealed up almost instantly. As you can imagine I was suffictiently freaked out at the moment.
Apparently the bad guys had reinforcements. A guy in weird tubed red armor and a guy in white armor approched the scene from a nearby hill. The red armor guy from tubes attached to his hands created a giant flame, and the white armor guy with a some wierd sonic blast from his hands broke up part of the hillside causing several rocks to start rolling toward the scene. Blue woman cried, "No, you fools! You'll hurt me and the girl! She was right. A put up my arms and fear, and miraculously the fire and rocks slowed. Apparently Visor guy and knife-hands man had reinforcements too. At this moment, two woman flew in, one black with white hair, the other a brunnette beauty with a white stripe running through her hair. From another direction came a guy wearing ice armor who seemed to be surfing on a pathway of ice he created himself. I noticed at the time that Ice guy seemed to looking at me in some way differently then the others. As the bad guys seemed ready to fight, Blue woman with one giant kick, managed to knock knife-hands guy off of her, and called out, "Were not going to win this one. Let's get out of here!"
As the bad guys ran off licking their wounds, Visor guy said, "Miss Crestmere, were the X-men. Come with us please. We'll take you somewhere safe." I heard of the X-men before. Some good. Some bad. But I decided to give them the benifit of the doubt. They led me to a amazing stealth jet parked on a nearby rooftop. Inside I found a giant blue ape man and a red haired woman treating my Dad's injuries as my Mom looked on.
As soon as I was able to force Mom off the mega-mom-worry hug she had placed on me, what I learned to be a psychic projection appeared before Mom and Dad and I of a bald man in a wheel chair.
He said, "Good afternoon, Crestmeres. I am Professor Charles Xavier. Head of Xavier's institute for the gifted. A school and haven for mutants. At this time I would like to extend a formal invitation for Allison to join us as a full-time student at the institute. From the transmission, your daughter besides being able to generate lava is a powerful terrakinetic and pyrokinetic. Such a large combination of powers are incredible even for a mutant, and dangerous especially since today Allison demonstrated a distinct lack of control over her powers. I believe we can teach her control as well as give her a decent formal education."
Dad asked me what I thought, and I said I didn't know. Professor Xavier said, "Think it over, but in the meantime I do insist that Allison stay at the institute for the next few days until we figure out what the mutants who just attacked want from her. At the institute Allison will be fully protected by our team of peacekeeping mutants I call the X-men."
None of us could argue with that, so we briefly returned home to get my stuff together, then we took off for Xavier's School upstate. On the way, I got to know the X-men.
Knife-hands-guy is known simply as Logan but goes by the codename Wolverine. Bit rough-around-the-edges but means well. Has an amazing ability to heal.
Visor guy is Scott "Cyclops" Summers. Team leader of the X-men. Collects solor energy from everywhere and turns it into a beam he shoots out his eyes. Can't open his eyes with out that visor or else he destroys everything in front of him.
White haired african girl is Ororo "Storm" Munroe. Teacher, Gardener, has power to control the all type of Weather.
Flying Brunnette is just "Rogue." Keeps up a nice southern belle persona depite not being able to touch people without sucking the life from them.
Red headed woman is Dr. Jean Grey. Cyclops girlfriend and a powerful psychic and telekinetic.
Blue ape is Dr. Henry "Beast" Mccoy. Ridiculously smart for his looks. Gave me a good lecture about the fact that mutants are just evolved humans which made me feel better about myself.
Lastly, Bobby "Iceman" Drake. As soon as that Ice armor faded I realized he was not much older than me. And it took several moments to realize why he looked at me differently. Mutant or not, I was still prom queen for a reason, and I could tell Bobby Drake understood that reason. And he doesn't look so bad himself. Not to mention the reassurances he gave me that things will be allright made me realize that even if he is the major flirt I see him as, he is a good person.
I also learned that the guys who tried to jump me were a group called The Brotherhood of Mutants who believe that since they are mutants they are the rightful rulers of the earth. Never really disliked anyone right off the bat, but there are exceptions. Jeez what an ego on these people!
To close as I write this diary entry from my new room at the Xavier Institute I breathe a sigh of relief. I still don't know what to make of this place or these people but at least I have an idea of a path which I can follow. I'm still assesing whether it's the right path though. Hello, as I write these words, Professor Xavier just called all X-men together in the war room for a mission briefing using the institutes public adress system. I'm almost instantly dying with curiousity. I'm going to go see if I can see what's going on.
Later,
Allison.
