A/N: Wow, the first day that I posted this story, and I already have 8 views of the story. Thank you for everyone that has read the story and for tyranid80 for following my first fanfiction. Also, this chapter will be in third person instead of first person. Now without further ado, here is my second chapter.
Unknowingly to Sophia, the summer passed quickly for her, with helping unpack, visiting her friends, summer assignments, camps, going to the beach, and field hockey tryouts. Towards the last week of summer, she decided to move to the Xavier Institute, hoping to meet everyone before the new school year started, so at least she could know some people at the school. Her parents' house was only a couple of minutes away, so she was able to bring her bike to a place that she will soon call home, which is where this story takes place.
Sophia rang the doorbell, the door opened almost immediately, revealing an African American woman with white hair. "Hello there, you must be Sophia," she greeted Sophia warmly.
Sophia shyly smiled in return. "Yup, that's me ready for anything!" She gave mock salute.
Ororo smiled at this. "The professor's been waiting for you." She said in response. "Scott can take your bags up to your room."
Sophia noticed the boy that Ororo just pointed out. He seemed like a normal kid with brown hair and athletic body, but the only thing different was his glasses. 'I wonder what his powers are', she thought to herself. Sophia soon realized that she said that aloud especially when Scott laughed.
"It's cool really," He said, brushing off the girl's apologies. "Lasers just come out of my eyes…"
"That's why you have the glasses," She interrupted him.
"Uh…yeah," He said with mild surprise with the girl's response.
After Scott took Sophia's suitcases and bags, the African woman, who she learned was Ororo, led Sophia to where she assumed the professor was. He was in a study, with the carpet a beautiful plush red, dark wooden walls and a bookcase filled with all kinds of books. While Sophia was admiring the beautiful study, she jumped when she heard a voice in her head.
'Hello Sophia,' the voice said. Needless to say, she jumped several feet up in the air.
"Sorry," the man apologized. "I assumed that you already knew that I was a telepath."
"Unfortunately, no one did," Sophia laughed nervously.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you. As you can see, I am telepathic, and I'm hoping to know your power as well."
This time it was Sophia's turn to apologize. "Oh, I'm sorry; I figured you already knew when my parents talked to you. Well, anyway, my powers are all water based. I don't know how much to be honest though," I answered shyly. She then listed all of the things that she could do, and the professor seemed impressed.
"Okay, well now I know what your powers are, I can understand what kind of training that you need," Sophia nodded, relieved that she would be part of this program.
"Now would you like a tour of the house? " The professor asked.
Sophia nodded eagerly while smiling as well. First, the professor led her to the kitchen, where a dozen or so kids were eating lunch in there.
"Everyone, meet your newest peer, Sophia Rosen."
Sophia gave everyone a small wave. "Hey," I said shyly.
"I hope you all make her feel welcome, and introduce yourselves to her accordingly," The professor then wheeled out of the kitchen and continued the tour and showed the danger room, the library, the recreation room, outdoors, and finally her own room.
"Wow," Sophia said, flabbergasted by the size of the room. "Am I bunking with someone?"
"Actually, no you aren't. This will be your own room. You can decorate it however you please. I will leave you to pack. Do you think you could go down to the danger room in about an hour, so that you can see a training session?"
"Oh yeah, of course."
The professor smiled. "I'll send Amara up here to show you to it. Don't want you to get lost on the first day," The professor said and smiled good-naturedly before he wheeled out of the room. Sophia looked down at her bags. "I guess I should start packing!" She said cheerfully. Sophia put on music from her iPad and Dear Future Husband by Meghan Trainor started playing. 'The hour will go by quickly,' she thought to herself before she quietly started to sing along with song.
And of course, she was right. The hour did fly by fast, and soon enough, Amara knocked on the door. Sophia opened the door and looked at the guide. She was from some kind of island, probably like Hawaii or something, with light brown skin and black hair. Sophia was a bit taller than her, but only by a couple of inches. Amara was also wearing a black outfit with a gold-colored belt with an X on it. "Is that like the outfit that everyone has to wear?" I asked.
"Something like that," Amara smiled. "Sophia, right? I'm Amara."
"Nice to meet you," Sophia said in return.
"Ready to go see the training session?"
"Yeah, totally!" Sophia smiled.
Amara laughed. "You won't be when you're doing it. Wolverine, who's in charge of the session is pretty tough."
"Oh what fun," I said sarcastically. "So what's your power?" I asked.
"Oh, I control fire, and obviously magma, hence my superhero name." She said. "How about yours?"
"Water!" Sophia said with enthusiasm.
"Oh, sounds like Bobby will have some competition!" Amara said slyly.
"Who will I have some competition with?" A brown-haired boy with brown eyes said, popping out of nowhere on Amara's other side.
"Sophia here also has water powers. I was saying how you would have some competition." Amara smiled.
"Uh correction Amara…" The boy said cockily. "I have ice powers. Name's Bobby by the way."
"Well I can do ice, as well as moving it, heating it, and other things." Sophia said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, then it's on!" Bobby said.
"Totally!" Sophia smiled in return. "Who doesn't like a challenge?"
"Well here's where you'll be getting off," Amara said cheerfully. "Enjoy the simulation!"
No sooner than Sophia arrived with the professor, the alarms started blaring. "Is this part of the simulation?" Sophia asked, suddenly wary.
"Oh great, the Brotherhood," I heard a boy covered in blue fur, and a German accent said.
"Who's the Brotherhood?" I asked.
No sooner had I asked this then I felt a strong gust of wind. I turned around to find myself face to face with a boy about my age with pure white hair, startlingly blue eyes, and an interesting outfit of blues and white.
"Well, you see hear, the Brotherhood is a group to try and prove that mutants are better than people. You apparently chose the wrong team." He said so fast that Sophia could barely understand him.
"That doesn't sound prejudice at all," Sophia said sarcastically.
He drew back and glared at me. "And who are you anyway?" He sneered.
"New member is all you need to know." Sophia replied calmly.
"Yo, Pietro stop flirting with the brunette and let's grab the prof." A filthy boy who was crouching down on the ground said.
Sophia started tsking them. "You know where I come from it's not nice to kidnap anyone…" She started before the guy who looks like he hasn't taken a shower in weeks shot a slime ball at her. She froze it and threw it back at him. He got stuck to the wall. "Toad!?" Pietro cried out angrily. Then he continued making orders. "Blob, get Toad unstuck off the wall." Pietro demanded. "Avalanche, shake things up a bit!" A brunette grimaced in pain as the whole building began to shake in an all too familiar way. Lance? I whispered in bewilderment.
A/N: Like it? Reviews are welcome, and I'm eager to hear how I can make my story even better.
P.S. Should I keep it in first or third person? Let me know through a review.
