Thoughts
Karro was done with her sandwich Kitty made her and the juice. Kurt was still with her there. They both didn't say anything to each other.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Kurt asked.
"What?" Karro looked up. Her hair was still covering her face.
"Am I making you uncomfortable? Vwith my lookz and all?"
"Oh no. I'm just not a very talkative person. That's all."
"You're not a shov off either." Kurt smiled at her.
"What do you mean?"
"Vwell you're hiding your face."
"Oh..."
Karro understood now what he meant. She smiled at him under her hair. She thought it was kind of funny.
"Can I zee your face?" Kurt all of sudden asked.
Karro thought about it. Should she let him see her? Expose herself to someone she just met? Well, they do lived in the same house now.
"Ja." She answered him. (Swedes and Germans both says ja if you didn't know. And so does the other Scandinavian country's ^^)
Kurt used both his hands to move away her hair. She blushed madly again.
"You've nothing to hide fvor. Vhy do you?" He asked.
"It feels safer." She answered and looked down to let her hair cover her face again.
Kurt didn't see that coming. But he wouldn't forget her face.
"I ztill don't get it." He thought.
"Zince Kitty iz not zhowing up, I can fvinish you tour." He said with his friendliest smile he had.
"No need for that Kurt. Karoline, I would like you to come to my office and discuss about your time here." The professor telepathically called them.
"I guess I see you later Kurt." Karro took her dish and put it in the dishwasher.
"I can take you there!"
Kurt walked to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Suddenly a lot of dark and brimstone smelling smoke appeared in front of Karros eyes.
When the smoke disappeared she saw the door to the professors office.
"Vad i...?" (What the...?) She wasn't ready to react.
"Zorry, I forgot to tvell you. I'm a teleporter."
"I know now." Was all she said to him before she went in to the office.
"Zee you later then."
She walked in and saw the professor siting behind his desk. There where two other persons in there.
One was a man. He reminded a lot of an animal. A big and blue one. Not the kind of blue like Kurt. He was a bit lighter, The other one was a woman.
She has light brown beautiful skin, white hair and blue eyes.
"Hello Karoline. Please have a seat." The professor gestured his hand to the three seated couch.
Karro sat down and looked at the two new faces.
"These are Ororo Monroe and Hank McCoy. They will train you and take care of you medically. We also have another trainer here named Logan. He'll probably be back at the end of July."
Karro just nodded to show she was paying attention.
"We also want you to know that some of the students here will go away to their family's during the summer, while you and some others will stay here and train."
"Which will give you and us some time to learn about your ability's." Ororo said.
Karro smiled to all three of them.
"Sounds great to me."
Karro was also informed that she will go to the same high school as the other students. The professor started to explain about the x-men.
"You see, here at the Xavier Institute, we believe that humans and mutants can live in harmony together. But there are people who don't want to see it. It's our job to show them, that it's possible. It's you choice what you want to do here. You can either live here, study as usual and learn to control your powers or become an X-man."
Karro thought about for a second.
"What's the different?"
Ororo answered her question.
"It's not that big. As an X-man, you'll trained harder and go out on missions if you're needed. We think you'll learn and evolve fast."
"And that's why we wanted you here during the summer. If you want to be a part of the group that is." Hank said.
"Can I get some time to think about it?" Karro asked.
"Of course Karoline." The professor answered.
"I think I can give you an answer tomorrow morning."
"Great! Lets go to the med lab and run some tests on you now." Hank said and reached out a hand to Karro.
Karro took his hand and they both walked out of the office.
*Later that night*
Karro had been through med test, dinner and met the other students. They were all really nice to her. All of them. Which she didn't expect at all. She also found out who of them are X-men. Scott, Jean, Kitty, Evan, Rogue and Kurt.
"Kurt..." Karro whispered to her self while she laid down in her new bed.
What she was really doing was thinking if she should join the X-men. She got out of bed and went to the door. See if should talk to Kitty about it. Before she knew it, someone knocked on the door.
"Hi. Just wanted to be sure you've some clean towels." It was Rogue.
"Yeah, come in."
Rogue went in to Karros bathroom and left the towels there.
"So how have your day been?" She asked.
"Pretty good I guess. Mr McCoy did some tests on me and it wasn't that bad. Blood samples, blood pressure, listened to my lungs, my reflex and so on. Regular stuff you know. Oh! And the professor, ms Monroe and mr McCoy asked if I wanted to join the X-men. Should I?"
Rogue looked at Karro.
"What do you think then?" She asked.
"I don't know. I've never really been a part of a group before. I don't know what it's like... And why am I so talkative all of a sudden?" Karro had a pretty crazy and confused look on her face.
Rogue couldn't hold back a small smile.
"Maybe you feel safe here. Ah wasn't used to be a part of a group before either. Who knows? You might like it?"
Karro smiled.
"You're right. I should at least try it. Thanks Rogue. That helped a lot actually."
"You're welcome. Ah see yah tomorrow then."
Rogue walked out of Karros room and Karro went to bed.
"I hope I made the right choice. But from now on, I'll open up more and speak out of my mind. Maybe it will make things a lot easier for me here. But my face will hidden for a little bit longer. One step at a time."
