I had walked out on the only place i ever knew. I didn't even remember to grab clothes or anything like that, i just walked out. Me versus the world from here on out, no one else. I walked a little bit further and ran straight into Steven Madrox. He fell down and multiplied. As usual if someone bumps into him.
He said "Oh, hey Twinkle Toes. What are you doing out here?"
I said "Nothing. Just walking around looking at the pretty trees."
He said "Really? Because the trees are just branches right now. It is of course Winter."
I said "Okay, you caught me Doubles."
He said "Yes. So what are you doing?"
I said "Do you really want the truth?"
He said "Yes. Or i wouldn't be asking you."
I said "I'm running away from here. For good."
He said "Oh. Then you might need these." He pulled out a bag that was really filled with something and he handed it to me.
I unzipped it, and i saw some of my clothes. My clothes? Why would he have a bag filled with my clothes at the ready? I said "Why did you have a bag of my clothes?"
He said "I overheard you yelling at Xavier about leaving and thought you might want them."
I said "Thanks." But then i realized that he had a bag too. The same color as the bag he handed me... I said "Um, where are you going?"
He said "I'm coming with you. You don't know the outside world that well and i thought i could help you..."
I said "I think i'll be fine. But thanks."
He said "Do you even know where the main road is?"
I said "No. But i can follow the driveway until i find it."
He said "Do you know how dangerous it is out there?"
I said "Not really." I knew that he wasn't going to let me be until i said yes. So out of wanting to keep my sanity i said "Fine. Come on."
He said "Thanks Twinkle Toes. Lets go!"
I said "Just get me to Town."
He said "Okay. Follow me."
We walked out of the Xavier Institute, and i turned around to the only place i knew, and silently whispered "Good Riddance."
It took a long time just to get to a road and not the driveway of the Institute. Who knew that the Institute was so secluded from the rest of the area?
He said "Welcome to Bayville. The place that hates mutants with an extreme passion."
I said "How badly?"
He said "Well, mutants cant use their powers in school, are treated horribly, and get picked on for helping other mutants."
I said "Wow. That must be horrible. For mutants."
He said "Yeah, it is. I remember going to Bayville High. I was picked on all the time after i discovered that i was a mutant..."
I said " I'm Sorry."
He said " It's fine. People just don't accept mutants."
I said "Well, i accept mutants."
He said "Yeah..."
