Chapter 3 "I'm a what?"

Swedish
(English translation)
Thoughts

Karro walked to her job, which was a café at a harbor. She was wearing a pair of old blue jeans and a pretty big white t-shirt with the cafés logo on it. The logo was dark red. The logo was a anchor with the text "Glada skepparn" (The happy sailor café). And she was wearing a pair of black sandals. She was finally there.
"Vad tog så lång tid?" (What took you so long?)
That was the first thing Karro heard when she stepped her foot inside the café.
"Men snälla Agnes. Jag börjar klockan 12.00. Hon är bara 11.45." (Please Agnes. I start 12 o'clock. She's only 11.45)
Karro was shocked. That was actually the first time she told Agnes off. She have never dared to before.
Maybe this day will be different after all." Karro thought to her self.
"Var inte så jävla kaxig tjejen! In i köket med dig och börja med köttbullsmackorna. Det är bara 4 kvar." (Don't be so fucking cocky little girl! Get in the kitchen and start making meatballssandwiches. There's only 4 left.)
Karro sighed and went in, putted on her apron and washed her hands. She hated this job. But it was the best she could find before her summer break started. To be honest. It was the money that have been keeping her 've been working since in middle of May. Soon her first salary will be in her bank account. She had now ten plates with bread pieces on them. She had also put on butter, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers and beetroot salad on them. It was time for the meatball half's. She couldn't find the small knife.
"Den där jävla diskaren. Vart har han lagt den nu då?" (That damn bus boy. Where did he put it this time?) She mutter to her self.
She started to feel anger. For the first time at work. Well not exactly anger. More frustrated. That's when she started to feel a extreme itchy feeling in her fingers.
Men kom igen..." (Oh come on...) She growled.
She started to drag her fingers back and forth on her apron. After a few seconds she stopped and looked at them. There was something on the tip of her right index finger. Something pointed and shiny. She looked at it what seemed like forever to her.
Vad är det där?" (What is that?) She asked her self in a low voice.
She didn't want Agnes to hear her. Who knows what could happen then?
"Might as well try to take it off"
She grabbed it. Whatever "it" was, with her fingers. "It" didn't came off. She tried and tried and tried. "It" didn't want to get off of her.
"For crying out loud. GET OFF!" She screamed inside her head.
Suddenly a 10 cm (3.9 in) long blade comes out of her index finger.
"VAD I HELVETE!" (WHAT THE HELL!) She screamed with panic in her voice.
"Vad skriker du om nu då?" (What are you screaming about now?) Agnes was on her way to the kitchen.
"Oh no! Not good! Not good! What should I do now? Please get back in!" She begged the blade that was sticking out of her finger. The blade retract.
"Vad i...?" (What the...?) She whispers.
"Vad händer här inne? Vad skriker du om? (What's going on here? What are you screaming about?) Agnes asked with a annoyed look on her face.
Karro didn't know what to say first.
"Uhmm... Jag tror jag såg en råtta. Någon sorts gnagare var det i alla fall." (Uhmm... I think I saw a rat. It was some kind of animal any how.)
"I hope she bought it."
"Happ... Då får vi stänga ner för dagen. Fan också!" (I guess we need to close the café for the rest of the day. God damnit!)
Agnes stomped out of the kitchen in anger.

*At Karros home*

The three x-men landed the x-jet on a tree free area in the forest next to Karros home. They walked out of the jet and to Karros parents house.
"Ja?" Karros mother answered the door.
"Hello there. Do you speak English?" The professor asked with a very friendly smile.
"Yes, what du you want?"
"My name is professor Charles Xavier and these are my students. Scott Summers and Jean Grey. We are here to talk to miss Karoline."
"Well, she won't be home until 9 o'clock tonight. What is this about?" Anna-Marie(Karros mother) got worried.
"There is nothing to worry about mrs Axelsson and Karoline is on her way home now. Something about rats I assume." Charles answer with a silent laugh.
"What's so funny?" That's all that came out Anna-Marias mouth.
Suddenly Karro was just a few feet behind Jean and Scott.
"Mamma, vilka är det här?" (Mom, who are these?)
"Vad gör du hemma så tidigt?" (What are you doing her so early?)
"Råttproblem på jobbet." (Rat problem at work) Karro lied.
Anna-Maria could not believe what she heard her daughter said.
"Vad är det? Det ser ut som att du har sett ett spöke." (What's wrong? It looks like you just saw a ghost.) Karro started to get confused.
"Lets get inside and talk. We can't stay out here all day." Jean suggested.
Anna-Maria went in to the kitchen to make coffee for everyone. Karros father, Erik, was already in the living room.
"Vad gör du hemma så tidigt och vilka är dessa?" (What are you doing home so early and who are these?) Her father asked.
"Problem at work and these are our guests, professor Chales Xavier, Scott Summers and Jean Grey." Karro nodded her head at them as a signal to her father to speak English.
Anna-Maria came in with the coffee to the living room and everyone took a seat.
"So professor Xavier... How did you know our Karoline was on her way home from work and there was a rat problem at Glada Skepparn?" Anna-Maria asked with a shaky voice.
Karro looked like a breathing question mark.
"Well mrs Axelsson..."
"Please call me Anna-Maria."
"Sorry Anna-Maria. like Scott, Jean and myself, your daughter is very gifted."
"What do you mean by gifted? I thought Karro did well at school. Erik asked.
"No, that's not what the professor means." Jean answered and gave Karro a friendly smile.
"Karoline, there was no rat problem. Right?"
Karro looked down at her feet.
"No..."
"Then what happen honey? You know you can tell us." Her mother said.
Karro looked at her hands. She didn't know what to tell them. What if someone gets hurt?
"Don't you worry about that." A calm voice inside karros head tells her.
Karro looks up with big eyes.
"What was that!"
"Like I said before. You, Jean, Scott and me are gifted. With different powers. We're also known as mutants."
Karro looked at the professor. She tried to understand what he said and sort everything out.
"I'm a what?"
"A mutant dear. It means you are gifted with the x-gen which have given you special powers."
"So thats what happen in the shower and at work today."
"Yes Karoline and that is how Cerebro tracked you." The professor explained.
"What's a Cerebro?"
"We can explain that later. What we three came here for is to offer you a place at the Xavier Institute for gifted youngsters."
