Chapter 2

The group was silent after that revolution. Lisa had allowed her eyes to flame for a full minute before going back to nice green shade before the transformation.

The silence was broken by Lisa, herself with the simple statement to Emma "Thank for only gentle probing my mind my control is not what it used to be. The last couple of months have been hard with what I have had to do."

"First, your mind and control are like vault I have only seen the like in a few people. And, second what have you done that you need us" Emma asked not going on to state that the probe was not a gentle nudge.

"I will tell you the whole story start to finish, if you promise to listen to whole tale and at least promise to think about helping me." With nods from all three Scott first than Magneto and Emma more slowly Lisa got up from the chair in went to look out the window looking down on the island. She could see various mutant playing, walking and general just being out in the open being themselves. "It different here. I feel different here. It easier here. Oh, so much harder" she stated ever so slightly

Slowly turning Lisa eyes were back to flames. She quickly got control and righted herself. She could tell that Emma was still so wondering who was young woman in front of them, Scott was quietly waiting for more, and Eric set there with one eye arched. He seemed the most riveted. Probable wondering how she went unnoticed for so many years.

Scott finally spoke up "Lisa I think that we all would like to hear your story"

"Yes, you see like I stated before at fifteen I studied everything about the mutant community. My parents thought it was just one of my various studied hobbies. You could say I was a very smart and was always reading. Well, you see right after I turn fifteen my grandfather died. Simply put I lost it. One moment my granddad was sick in the hospital and the next morning while I was getting ready for school my mom comes in to tell me that he had died. I don't remember much but the pain I could fell everything my mom felt, she loved him like her father and my sister was down stairs crying so hard it broke me. I fled the house and just drove around the town for an hour. Trying to calm myself down, I had no idea what was happening to me. My granddad was a strong and loving man, he was my best friend. All my childhood memories have him in them." A single tear fall from green flame eyes as Lisa took a moment.

"You are empath, my dear" Eric stated quietly.

"Yes, I am. A very strong one and I slight a telepath too. I also have the physical mutation of my eyes. I have control over them with constant watch. It harder here the control that I have built it weaker here, it easier here to be me." The last part said more quietly than the first.

"You should not have to hide who you are" this was said by Scott who sounded more like Eric that time.

At that Eric arched his brow. "My dear you can stay here be the real you and you can bring this other mutant you spoke of here we can help."

"I have not told you everything yet." Lisa got back up to stare out the window and look out the window at all the mutants. A smile crossed Lisa lips. "Or what I had to do or what I have done."

"Lisa how have you gone unnoticed for so long. An empath and telepath give off a very strong presence on cerebro." This came from Emma. She seemed to be waiting for the other shoe to be dropped.

"Well as far as I know cerebro has never detected me, but one mutant did know about me for at least a time. Well I should start back to the funeral to get the story right. The funeral was very hard to say the least. The control that I used spent every ounce that I had then. I change since then, I had to shut myself down after words"

"No …why would you do that to yourself." Emma asked "It should not have been possible for you to do that to yourself."

As Lisa came back to sit down her eye where aflame again, the three could tell that this place was effecting her more than she let on.

"You are not use to being around so many mutants, are you" this coming from Scott.

Gaining back the control she had she turn her eyes back to normal. "No I have not. It is altogether different. Emma I did it to myself because I did not know what else to do. My telepath abilities are no wear near yours but my empath abilities that another thing. In all my studies and to be honest computer hacking I have found no match to my ability. Oh, you should know because I am not going to lie to you I hack into Xavier computer at the mansion and the Hell fire club computer and tried yours (turning to Magneto) but you kept moving bases"

"You what" stated each almost the same time.

"Don't worry I was only looking information about mutant power. At fifteen I could have carried less about what you were doing. And I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. It only took a week for figure out that I was a mutant. I was a little slow on the up take but with everything going on I was not ready to accept it."

"There was nothing wrong with you. You could have gone to anyone in the mutant community for help," said Eric

"I was not ready. In for the most part shutting of my emotion was not so bad. I could fake it at school I am a very smart individual I knew what acceptable behavior was and that was what I did. You wonder how I hide that first encounter well I found out later half the X-men were fighting the Hell Fire club and the other half fighting you (turning again to magneto) or some miss understanding or other. Let just say that you were all busy." Lisa waved away any excuse the three were going to make. "It does really matter I could of walked up to any one of you, with the knowledge that I had of you and told you what was going the choice was mine. Anyway a year and half went by and by accident I encounter another mutant."

"It was Jean Gray, and boy was she mad"
