I'm lazy, so I hope I can post chapters on a weekly or so basis.

I don't own X-men. If I did, young Charles would be in my bed right now.

Miriam looked up at the mansion before her as she stood next to Emily, Hannah and Ariel. The four of them had prepared a week before for this encounter.

"Remember to block our minds so that the nerd won't read them", Emily pointed out to Hannah, to which Hannah nodded. "Now, it's time to let them know we've arrived", she added before taking out a small rock from her pocket and throwing it at one of the windows, breaking it and causing a loud sound.

"Emily! Couldn't we just knock on the door or ring the doorbell!" Hannah looked at her friend in disbelief as she spoke- er, yelled.

"What I find more disturbing is that you were carrying a rock in your pocket. Is there any particular reason why?" Asked Miriam with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't need to know", answered Emily.

Shortly after the 'incident', the blonde mutant we know as Alex, or Havok, was standing in the room where the rock was thrown. He took a peek outside and noticed the four girls standing at a modest distance from the mansion's entrance. Ariel noticed him and quickly waved while smiling and giving a "Hiii".

Confused, Alex slowly raised his hand and gave a small wave back, wondering who these girls were. His initial thought was that someone came by looking for trouble, but once he saw how innocent these four girls looked, he dismissed that option. He figured they were lost or looking for some sort of help. He was about to speak when he noticed Charles rolling out of the mansion and towards the girls, with the help of Sean, or Banshee.

Charles already knew these weren't ordinary girls because the second he saw them, he had tried to read their minds, only to find that he was not able to. It yielded the same results as when he tried to read Emma's mind in her diamond form, but these girls weren't in any sort of form, so how they were able to block him out was a mystery to him.

"That's quite an unusual way to get someone's attention", Charles began saying before he was cut off by Emily.

"It's called making an entrance, even though we didn't... Enter... Anywhere... Yet." Her comment earned a few confused stares from the bunch. "Look, formal introductions take way too long, so let me make this short. I'm Emily. Emily NoLastNameAvailable. We're mutants. We were walking by and then... Sensed mutant presence and decided to come by and live with you people."

Hannah couldn't help but shake her head a bit. Why did they let Emily speak in the first place? It figured she would say something incredibly stupid that no one in their right mind would ever believe.

Charles' expression was clearly that of an amused one. He couldn't expect her to buy that, right? Right. He flashed a small and polite smile to them before pointing at the suitcases that were behind them. "It's a good thing you bring your suitcase when you're taking a walk. You never know when you might need a change of clothes, or perhaps some shampoo, in case of an emergency."

Emily was not amused. Ariel, however, giggled and said "I love shampoo." Emily rolled her eyes.

"Wow... How did those get there? I've never seen them before in my life", came the futile attempt from Miriam at covering for Emily.

Hannah couldn't take this any longer. She had to step in. "Look, we want to join you. You help mutants, right? As for how we know about you... Well, we're mutants. We have powers. Finding you was easy for us. I'm a telepath, like you. I noticed you tried to read our minds."

"I'm terribly sorry about that. After recent events, we can't be sure who is an ally and who is an enemy. Reading minds allows me to make sure that the person means well", explained Charles. "However, you four have your minds blocked. Now, pardon me, it's not usually in my nature to doubt such lovely women as yourselves, but I can't help but be a bit suspicious."

"We don't like being mind raped", replied Emily.

"That's understandable." Charles eyes scanned the group in front of him. They didn't seem dangerous, but he knew well that one should never judge a book by its cover. He was taking a second to think things over, but his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a voice inside his head. "You can trust us. Please. We just want somewhere to belong", said the voice, which he knew belonged to the telepath in the group. Charles was aware that there was only one way to find out more about these mysterious girls, and that was to let them join the 'team'. "I'm Charles Xavier, by the way. My fellow comrades here tend to call me Professor X at times, something which I'm still not completely used to. I know this lively lady right here is named Emily, but I don't believe she mentioned any of your names".

"Figures. I'm Miriam. This is Hannah and that's Ariel", she said as she pointed to Hannah and Ariel, respectively.

"It's a pleasure to meet you and welcome you to your new home."

"I'm Banshee. Well, my name's Sean, but Banshee sounds way better." He had been quiet the entire time and he finally felt the need to speak up.

Alex, who had been standing by the entrance for a few minutes watching the group and listening to the conversation, came forward and joined them. "My name's Alex, or Havok."

"I'm Ariel." She let out another soft giggle as she extended her hand. He smiled at her and shook it, thinking her way of being was rather cute, while Emily and probably most of us considered it stupid.

"Professor..." Hannah felt weird calling him that, for a reason. "Can we have a moment in private with you?"

Sean looked down at the professor with a look of questioning, the professor looked up at him, then at Alex, also having a bit of a puzzled look on his face. It was as if they were communicating without talking, which was possible for Charles, but that wasn't the case. The three of them just had the same suspicions. Four girls showed up out of nowhere to join them, now they wanted to speak privately with the professor. Ordinarily, it wouldn't be an issue, but with him being in a wheelchair, and them having their minds blocked, the scenario seemed a bit unsafe.

"Of course", came his answer, which surprised Alex and Sean a bit. Charles had every reason in the world to doubt them, but he also had a great ability to see the good in people, even without reading their minds. Sometimes, he could be too trusting, but it hadn't failed him yet... Not entirely... Well, he had no regrets.

"Thank you. Ariel will keep Alex and Sean company." Not a second after Hannah finished her sentence, Ariel was already grabbing Alex's hand and heading inside the mansion, motioning for Sean to follow them with her other hand. "Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll contact you immediately", came Charles' voice inside Sean's mind. Sean nodded to him and followed Ariel.

"Now, what could three lovely women possibly want with a guy in a wheelchair?" His tone and smile were playful as he spoke, obviously meaning it as a joke. It still managed to sound smooth somehow.

"We want to give you a token of appreciation for letting us become a part of this", replied Hannah with a sly smirk. This caused the professor to furrow his eyebrows and wonder just what exactly they had in mind. Three women. One man. The inappropriate thoughts of what she could have possibly meant began pouring into his mind. He couldn't help it, he was used to the life of a lady charmer. Then a single thought made them all stop. He was in a wheelchair.

. . .

Still. Plenty of things they could do.

There you have it. The second chapter. Next chapter will be the beginning of life in the mansion and such.

Reviews would be very appreciated.~
