Chapter 7: Witches
In Salem, there lies a park where over by a deadwood tree, was a girl. The girl had short blue hair, pale skin, blue eyes, gray lips. She wears a black jacket with her dark blue shirt, a cross necklace, black fingerless gloves, black checkered skirt with blue leggings and black boots.
She was reading a book as she felt someone coming close to her. Seeing two shadows looming over her, she saw a boy and a girl. One blond and the other a thuggish looking man.
"That's her, Fang! She's the one who called me petty!" shouted the girl.
"So you're the freaky girl that called my girl Kitten names?" asked the thug.
"If you know what's good for you, I suggest to walk away before you two make a scene," she said in a deadpan tone.
"Oh, we'll make a scene girly!" Fang sends his fist towards her but is then stopped. The girl's eyes turn blank white as she looks at the thug, as his arm bends the wrong way.
"AAAH!" Fang screams in pain as the goth stands up, closes her book as she faces the two.
"Y-You're some kind of witch!" Kitten accused.
"I guess." the goth spoke as she raises her hands "Now you will forget who you are!" her eyes are now red as she did a spell towards the snobby girl and her thug boyfriend.
In an apartment, a blind woman by the name of Irene held her head. She has sensed something was amiss as she noticed what's going on.
"Rachel, no," Irene said as she picks up her phone and dials a number. "Come on, pick up," she begs as she hears her call answered.
"What is it, Irene?" spoke Mystique.
"Rachel, her powers are growing," Irene responded.
"Oh no, its time of her to control her powers!" Mystique said
"I know you want to her control her powers, but what if she doesn't want to join you?" Irene asked
"She has no choice, cause even the X-Men not knowing what her powers are." Mystique said
"Fine, she in the park and try to stop her before the X-Men does cause you will lose her by them," Irene said

Meanwhile at the Xavier Institute, Charles wheels in towards Garfield, who is wearing a black jacket and seems to be holding a backpack.
"Seems that you are ready, Garfield." Charles states.
"I'm always ready to see Wanda, Professor," Garfield replied. "Got some board games, cards, and DVDs of some movies we can watch. She'll love watching The Crow."
"Well let's not delay and- ugh." Charles felt his head as he felt a powerful force.
"Prof, you alright?" Garfield asked with concern.
"I felt an immense, strong and emotional power." Charles states rubbing his head "Take me to Cerebro, now!"
"On it." Garfield wheels the Professor to take to Cerebro while passing by Jean.
"What's going on!?" Jean asked
"Something comes up with Prof powers," Garfield said while keep pushing Charles
They made it to the Cerebro, Charles grabbed the helmet and start to typing on the computer, the screen change into the park of seeing Rachel with angry face seeing Kitten and Fang scare.
"Just what I thought, this young lady has unlocked her X-Gene. She named is Rachel Roth and she in Salm."
"Never seen that powers before my life, she really needs some control," Jean said feeling bad for her.
"So let's get her, I gonna called Wanda I be there late cause of this," Garfield said as he walked off to get the others.
/
"No need, Garfield." The Professor told Garfield "Wanda's appointment is just as important."
"But what about the new mutant?" Garfield asked as Charles respond.
"Don't worry, I think you should assign Scott to the mission. He seems to be ready for this mission."
"Are you sure, Professor?" Jean asked.
"I'm not sure what the outcome will be, but hopefully he'll guaranteed success." Charles states as the wheel to the door. "Jean you're just as a strong telepath as I am. I hope you can convince young Rachel to join."
"Alright Professor, wish me luck." Jean said as Garfield and Charles head down to the limo 'Wait, who's Wanda? Garfield never mentions her name before.'
"Wait, so I'm a leader on this mission?" Scott asked surprised that he's leading.
"Congrats, Shades. You're the new field leader of this mission." Wolverine replied patting Cyclop's back.
"Man this is fast, I mean Garfield and Jean I know is good at leading, it just that it's happening way too fast!" Scott said
"Don't worry, you gonna get used to it for a while," Wolverine said
"Alright everyone, let's go get Rachel Roth," Jean said
Garfield and Charles was now the front of Wanda, Garfield was nervous cause he hasn't seen her over 13 years.
"Don't worry Garfield, I'm sure she gonna happy see you again," Charles said
"Yeah you right Prof, let's go in," Garfield said
Garfield and Charles was now the front of the mental ward. Garfield was nervous cause he hasn't seen her for a month.
"Don't worry Garfield, I'm sure she gonna happy see you again," Charles said
"Yeah you right Prof, let's go in," Garfield replied as they both enter the mental institute.
As they check in they are lead by a doctor who's a personal friend of Charles. Doc Samson is a psychiatrist who is in charge of Wanda.
"As you can see ever since you keep visiting her, Garfield, Wanda is showing no incidents over the past months." He informs them.
"Wow, I hope Wanda would be glad to see me," Garfield replied as Doc leads them to her room. Once he opens the door Garfield peaked in to see the girl of the hour.
She has long, auburn hair, pale skin, red eyes and ruby lips. She wears a white shirt, sweatpants, and slippers as she is lifting up some cubes.
"Wanda, you have a visitor!" Doc told her as Wanda looks and spots a smiling Garfield.
"Garfield!" Wanda said ran to him and give him a big hugged.
"It's nice to see you again Wanda!" Garfield said hugged her back
"If you need us we be in my room!" Wanda said
"You did a good job of taking care of her," Charles said
"Yes, so we need to talk about of her right?" Doc asked
"Yes is about moving to the school," Charles said

At Salem, the X-Men has made it to the last place Rachel was spotted. They've gotten word that Fang and Kitten were somewhere in the park, as their minds were altered into making them think that they're frogs. After Jean repaired their minds and knocking them out, getting information about Rachel she has told them what she found.
"Alright, Rachel is somewhere in the area, can you sense her Jean?" Cyclops asked.
"She disappeared somewhere, like as if she didn't want to be found. I sense that she's...scared." Jean replied.
"Alright Shades, what now?" Wolverine asked.
"We'll split into groups. Starfire, Blackfire, and Storm will take the skies. Wolverine, Marvel Girl, Shadowcat and Rogue will look around the neighborhoods. Me, Nightcrawler, and Spyke check out where would she be around here." Cyclops said.
"Good plan, Friend Cyclops!" Starfire cheered making Cyclops blush.
"Alright, let's move, people," Cyclops said as the gang split up to their assigned locations.
However unknown to them they were being spied on by Toad, who hid underneath a bridge. "Yo, Mystique. The X-Men split," he told through his communicator.
"Excellent. You and the Brotherhood will keep them busy." Mystique told through her communicator as she morphs into Wolverine "I'll make sure Rachel is convinced to not go with the X-Men." she said in Wolverine's voice as claws pop out from his knuckles.
They see a couple of mutants and the leading of them is Sabertooth.
"Well this just my day, you guys take on the others, while I get Sabertooth," Wolverine said charge at him
They were charged at them, while second Wolverine sneaks in.

Rachel was in her room reading a book, suddenly she stops by the sound of explosives. She looks outside and sees X-Men and mutants fighting.
"What in the world." Rachel said looking out the window when suddenly someone crashed into the door. She saw an orange and black-suited man with claws barging in her room.
"Hello, pretty." He spoke, snarling.
"W-Who are you?" Rachel asked in fright.
"I'm X-Men, someone you don't want to mess with." 'He' said as she pounces at her, as Rachel avoids him as she ran out of the room. 'Good, she's frightened.' Mystique thought to see Rachel run from the stairs.
"Irene! Help!" Rachel shouts for her adopted blind mother. "There's a crazy man with claws trying to kill me."
"They're the X-Men, Rachel. Mutant hunters that are coming after you." Irene lied as she leads Rachel out the backdoor "Go and find shelter!"
"Okay!" Rachel yelled before she ran out.
Rachel keeps running in streets until she spots a place she knows, her old hangout when she was little. "Okay, I am safe for now and away from those hunters."
"Perhaps I can help you." Said a dark voice
Rachel turns around and sees a person standing front of her. His has a purple and red jumpsuit with a cape, purple boots, and a shiny helmet.
"Who are you?" Rachel asked to look at the person
"Call me Magneto, child." He answers as he offers her a hand "I will help keep you safe and away from the X-Men."
Rachel wasn't sure what to think until she felt someone running towards them. She looks to see Wolverine, the real one, come into view.
"You!" Wolverine growled seeing Magneto "Get away from her!"
"You will not hurt her, animal!" Magneto uses his hands to stop Wolverine in midair as Magneto looks down "Go to the park, there you will meet Mystique. Beware of those who bare an X symbol on them."
"Okay!" Rachel said as she ran off
"what did you do?!" Wolverine asked in anger
"To make sure she on our side!" Magneto said to use his powers to throw him towards the wall and break through.

Garfield and Wanda both watched a movie together. Right now they're watching Hellboy. Wanda loves how the love interest was misunderstood and couldn't control her powers like she was, and in the end, she has found Hellboy as her true love.
"Wow, that was a good movie, Garfield," Wanda stated.
"It's good to know." Garfield replied smiling "Maybe someday soon you can come by at the Institute to meet all of my friends."
"I don't know Garfield, I just can't control my powers. Maybe I might hurt your friends." Wanda said in sadness
"Wanda, the school is made to control your powers and try to be accepted in humanity. If you want to be an X-Men, it's your decision." Garfield said
"You really mean it, Garfield?" Wanda asked
"Yes, I'm sure they really loved you to accept in the school," Garfield said hugged her.
Wanda was shocked to see him want her to be there, if she goes to the school she might have friends that like her. Trying to help bring her kind to bring peace in the world, plus she gets to see Garfield more often.
"Thank you, Gar," Wanda said as she hugs him back.
Rachel runs to the park as she looks for someone name Mystique. She was told to look for a blue woman as she hid in the woods.
'Where is she?' She thought as she felt scared that these X-Men are after her. Then she felt another presence as she turns to see Storm.
"You won't get away that easily." 'Storm' told as she threw spark grenades up at the trees to make Rachel think she's shooting lightning bolts.
"Stay away from me!" Rachel said to run off as fast she can.
"That's more like it! Now time to get her." Storm said as she flew in the park.
Rachel keeps running, even her legs are hurting and cuts she won't stop cause she scares of what they about to do with her. Bump into someone, when Rachel open her eyes she sees a blue skin woman.
"Are you any chance named Rachel Roth?" Mystique said
"Yes, and you must be Mystique! Thank god let's get left!" Rachel said
"Come, I'll take you somewhere safe." Mystique said as she grabs Rachel's hand as they run off until they are surrounded by Cyclops, Spyke, and Nightcrawler.
"Hold up, Mystique. She's coming with us!" Cyclops told her.
"No she is not and you X-Men will be smart to leave her alone!" Mystique declares as she held Rachel protectively.
"Nightcrawler, get Rachel!" Cyclops orders as Nightcrawler poofs as he is now behind Rachel.
"Come, Frauline." Nightcrawler attempts to grab Rachel's hand, but she smacks his hand away.
"Stay away from me!" She cried out as her eyes turn white as suddenly Nightcrawler gets hit by a tree branch as rocks and twigs are hitting Cyclops and Spyke.
"Hurry, before they get up!" Mystique said grabbed her hand and took off.
"No!" Cyclops said trying to get up but the branch was too much.
"Dame it! We lost her!" Spyke said pound his fist on the ground.
"We'll get her someday guys, I hope," NightClawer said removed the branch
"So much for my first field mission." Cyclops sigh in frustration.
"Man, I hate it when visiting hours are over." Wanda pouted as she sits on her bed while hugging her knees to her chest.
"Don't worry Wanda, we'll have plenty of more fun next time," Garfield replied patting Wanda on the back.
"Really, Garfield?" Wanda asked him.
"Of course, you're fun to hang out with." He states as Wanda gives him another hug.
"Then, I hope we can hang out more soon in the future," she said as Charles comes in.
"I believe it's time to go, Garfield." Charles said, "And Wanda, I have some important news for you."
"Really, what news?" Wanda asked
"We thinking it's time for you to be in the School of Gifted," Charles said which shocked her.
"REALLY!" Wanda yelled with a smile
"Yes, you grew up fast and you already control your powers. You want to be an X-Men and help bring our people together." Doc said
"Thank you! This is my dream come true! Garfield, I'm gonna be an X-Men!" Wanda said hugged him.
"Alright! You will love it there, Wanda!" Garfield replied as he rustles Wanda's hair, which made her even more into bliss.
The X-Men return to the Institute, feeling down that they have failed to get Rachel. But on a brighter note at least they defeated the brotherhood.
"Well, I've blown it," Scott said as he sits on a bench.
"Do not worry, Friend Scott. We may have lost her to Mystique but maybe the Rachel will come to us eventually." Kori encouraged him.
"I'm not so sure about that, Mustard Girl." Wolverine said leaning on the wall "Mystique was disguising as us to scare Rachel from us."
"Well not all of us, Rachel didn't see Garfield maybe he can change her mind," Kurt said
"Speaking of Garfield, where is he?" Kitty said
They heard the front door open, they see Charles, Garfield, and finally, Wanda came in. While Garfield carrying all of Wanda's belongings.
"Hey guys we back, and we had a new member of our family," Garfield said
"Hello, I'm Wanda and I gonna be an X-Men and help the people!" Wanda said with excitement
The X-Men look shocked and then happy that they have a new member. Jean, Kitty, and Rogue seem happy but at the same time saw how Wanda holds onto Garfield's arm. 'We're on to you.' they thought.
The next day Rachel is seen at the Principal Darkholme's office signing up for class schedules. So far she was given the rundown on who the X-Men were and why were they attending the school. Magneto and Mystique lied to her that the X-Men are a part of the Professor's army and want to recruit more mutants to build an army to take on against the X-Men. The reason why they lied to her is so that she can keep her in check and make sure the X-Men doesn't persuade her.
"Here are your classes for the semester, Rachel." Principal Darkholme said handing her the paper.
"Thanks, Ms. Darkholme." Rachel replied, "I-I don't have to fight those X-Men, do I?"
"You don't have to fight them, Rachel. Let the Brotherhood handle them while all you can do is keep your powers in check." Principal Darkholme replied sweetly to Rachel.
"Thank you! I just don't want any more fighting and violence all the time." Rachel said got up and went out the room.
"She seems to trust us, magneto." Principle Darkholme said as the shadow of magneto
"Don't get your hopes up Mystique, when the X-Men get her, she will know we were lying to her," Magento said
"I make sure turn into every X-Men member that she knew."
"Are you sure, their one member that missing. What's it's named is again?" Magneto said thinking
"I say I turn in every member, so don't worry about it." Principle Darkholme said hope he doesn't know about her son not there.
"Alright, now make sure she stays on her side," Magneto said fade away.
Principle Darkholms lay on her chair, open up a drawer and pick it up a picture. She smiles at the picture and goes in sadness. "I hope you two are fine there."
The picture is her with a little blue boy, as she holding a green baby.
