Hi, I'm so sorry this took so long, I hit a real barrier when I received a review telling me my story was pointless and I should not post 'until I learn basic sentence structure' . It really upset me, I know my grammar isn't the best, but I try hard and my writing means a lot to me.

I love that loads of you suddenly reviewed to say you wanted me to update, it really helped me get back into this story. By loads I mean seven, but I have stories that no-one reviews at all and I still write them, so that is a lot to me.

In answer to another review, yes I do need more OC's, you see my characters exist in a different universe altogether, a universe of my own creation. My fanfictions are basically what would happen if my characters existed in other ones. My other characters like to sneak in to the stories. (Yes I know I refer to them as if they were alive, in my head they are) I would like to express that Fliss is still the main character, the others are more supporting, in fact Millie hardly appears at all.

Yet another review, as yet I am not planning any romance with Fliss or my other characters, I don't tend to write romance.

I'm really sorry I had to complain a bit there.

Fliss

I cross my legs as I sit in my place on the roof. I like sitting high up, it's like my own private place. Summer is over now and we're all going back to school. It was weird going home for the summer holidays, not only because Mummy wasn't there. I've never had secrets from my family before. It was very weird hiding from them, since they still don't know I'm a mutant so I had to wear my Inducer 24/7.

It's different back at the Institute now as well. Apparently the Professor has done some major recruiting over the summer because there is a load of new students now. I can see them now, down in the grounds. A girl runs after a Frisbee, jumping up and catching is as a wolf. Nearby a boy is trying to impress two of the girls with a series of hand springs. Unfortunately he isn't looking where he is going as he changes into a fire-like form and flies straight into a younger boy with a comic. He lands right on top of the other boy and picks himself up, finding himself in the midst of a group of identical boys holding comics.

On the other side of the grounds several of the new students are engaged in a game of baseball. One of the boys runs to catch the ball, which is heading for the fountain. He stops running and with a motion of his hand produces a slide for the ball made from ice, directing the ball back to his hand. a girl stands on the sidelines cheering and jumping up and down. Her entire body, clothes and all, changes colour, rotating through the rainbow, every time her feet touch the ground. The ice boy throws the ball to another boy who launches himself in the air backwards to catch it, but ends up smashing through a brick wall. By another fountain stands a group of three, chatting, until another girl tosses a small ball of light between them which explodes. The three turn on the girl angrily each producing balls of electricity, light and fire respectively. The girl cowers behind some railing. I gasp as a fireball strays close to my place on the roof.

It's definitely a lot more noisy around here not to mansion dangerous. Deciding I should leave before another fireball is more lucky, I close my sketch book and fly in through my bedroom window. Thankfully I don't have to share with anyone yet, Kurt say's it's because no-one wants a 'glow-in-the-dark roommate. I don't mind that much since it's private and I don't really want a roommate. I turn on the small portable TV Dad bought me for passing my exams and getting into the institute. He still thinks gifted means smart. It flicks on to the news.

'Eyewitness accounts are conflicting, but all agree that the falling car was somehow deflected by this strange red flash its source is still a mystery'

My eyes widen as the video playing shows a blast not unlike Scott's knocking a car away from landing on a bus full of children. I turn the TV off and decide to make my way downstairs, with all the new students outside it should be fairly quiet, and the others should be back from Jean's game by now. I sit on the sofa of the common room and open my sketch book once more.

A few minutes later Kurt and Kitty walk in.

"Ah Man, the Professor is gunna kill us, I know it!" Kurt complains.

"It might not be so bad" Kitty consoles. I look up from my drawing.

"What was it like?" I ask curiously, shocking them both.

"Like, what was what like?" Kitty responds.

"Stopping criminals and saving people" I specify

"Does anyone not know?" Kurt exclaims.

"Well it was, like, on the news!" Kitty points out.

"So what was it like?" I persisted.

"I don't know, it was kinda cool, like it's what we're supposed to be doing" Kitty muses. I smiled slightly, maybe one day when the world knows about and accepts us we will be able to properly. I guess I have to get ready for school tomorrow.

I'm kind of nervous as I walk through the big main doors, it's a new year so I've moved up to Bayville High with the other originals. Since Miss Darkholme turned out to be Mystique, who is presumed dead after the asteroid exploded, we have a new principal. This morning instead of first lesson we have a welcome talk from him. The hall is pretty full and I can see the Brotherhood, minus the girls, standing in one corner. I anxiously shuffle in and take a seat on the end of one of the benches.

"And now everyone" the teacher at the podium announces, "Let's give a warm Bayville High welcome to our new principal, Mr Edward Kelly!"

Students cheer as a man with brown hair and glasses shakes the teacher's hand and takes the stand. But before he has a chance to say anything the entire hall starts shaking like an earthquake. Right, earthquake, I realise that Lance is sitting a few rows forward with his fists clenched. I almost groaned in annoyance, did they have to ruin everything? The quake stops for a minute and the new Principal picks himself up from the floor. Then it starts again, twice as violent. I hear a metallic twisting noise and look up to see the electronic scoreboard hanging on a thread. Students and teachers alike scream in panic as the machine looks set to fall on the Principal's head. Then all of a sudden it swerves harmlessly and lands behind. Courtesy of Jean I suspect. There is a tense chatter in the room as the quake seems to have ceased. A bewildered looking Principle Kelly stands up and turns to the microphone.

"Since when is Bayville on a fault line?" he jokes, trying to brighten the tone, "Anyway, I want to welcome you all to a new semester. I know that filling the vacuum left by your previous Principal, Miss Darkholme, will not be an easy job, it's a challenge to which I am looking forward. And that brings me to what I hope will become the theme of the coming semester, meeting new challenges. You know most of us go through life thinking we're not so different from the people around us. That's a mistake, because I'll wager that every one of us here has some unique talent, some special gift, some ability that makes them stand out from the crowd. However, that said, I want your second priority to be SUPPORTING THE GIRL'S SOCCER TEAM FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!"

The announcement is met by cheers. He seriously has no idea how appropriate his speech was.

"That means I want everyone to turn up to the big pre-game rally!" he continues, "CAN WE COUNT ON YOU?"

This is met by even more cheers. Once the excitement has died down we all file out to out lessons. The first day of school goes well, I even see Dr McCoy as he has taken up his job as science teacher. I don't know whether the others know that he knows about us. I wonder how he found out. Is he a Mutant too?

The rest of the week passes uneventfully. Now I have to go to the Football (or Soccer as they call it in America) game. The Professor says we all have to go to support Jean, but I don't really like these things. I've never been in to this sort of thing; I tend to just sit in the corner with my sketchbook. The Cheerleaders are dancing around with their Pom-poms, we never had them back in England so this is technically the first time I've seen them outside of TV. Speaking of which, this is sort of on TV, there's a big van with a camera outside. But then I guess it would be, this is the final, I think. I don't understand sports.

"And playing mid-field for the Bayvile Hawks, Taryn Fujioka!" The announcer proclaims as Jean's friend runs onto the pitch, "And rounding up the team, Bayville's Star Forward, Jean Grey!"

Everyone around me erupts into cheers as Jean runs onto the field. The cheers increase as I spot Principal Kelly walking up to the stand holding a Microphone.

"In appreciation of the team spirit that brought us all the way to tonight's championship game, we'd like to present our school mascot! The Bayville Hawk!" the Principal's voice echoes across the stadium. A white sheet is pulled off to reveal a golden hawk statue. The wings of the bird promptly burst into flames ceremonially and several fireworks go off. "NOW, LET THE GAME BEGIN!"

The crowd explodes into further cheers and the match starts.

"The game is underway and with Bayville taking the…" the commentator starts but then stops suddenly.

"'scuse me Folks!" An annoyingly familiar voice replaces the announcer "Hey! Can I have your attention up here!"

The entire stadium turns to see Lance in his Avalanche costume standing on top of the commentator's box.

"Lance?" Kitty exclaims

"What's he up to?" Scott demands. One of the spotlights moves to the Brotherhood member's position. Blob and Toad step up to be either side of him and Pietro blurs in behind.

"That's better. My name's Lance, I also call myself Avalanche because I'm a Mutant!" He announces, I feel sick to my stomach, "That's right, Me and Toad and Blob and Quicksilver here, we're all Mutants! Born different, what you might call Freaks!"

I can do nothing but watch in horror as he reveals us to the world.

"I can't believe he's doing this!" Kitty says incredulously.

"You see, there's lots of Mutants at Bayville High" Lance continues, "Scott Summers over there, he's one, and so's Jean Grey, your big Soccer star! And most of their pals over at the Xavier Institute, which is kind of a school for weirdo mutant nerds!"

"Man, we're busted big time!" Rogue complains.

"Now, being Mutants means we got these special powers we can use to make little… improvements" he carries on, "For instance, we thought this game would be more fun if the goals were further apart!"

He reaches his hand forward and a large fissure appears across the centre of the pitch, several players even fall in due to the resulting earthquake.

"And we thought the Principal ought to have a better perspective on his student body" Avalanche announces as Pietro runs around Mr Kelly, creating a whirlwind which lifts the Principal into the air.

"Sorry Professer X, the cat's out of the bag" Scott apologises as he picks up the rucksack with his uniform in and makes to leave. All of us original X-men follow him. We sneak round the back to the player changing rooms and get into our costumes. We step back into the stadium to see that Blob is now carrying the flaming mascot above his head. Scott quickly fires an Optic Blast, knocking the statue from his hands.

"Alright, Lance, you want it all out in the open, let's put it out there!" Cyclops challenges.

"I've been waiting for this!" Lance exclaims, jumping down from the roof and charging at Scott. Kitty and Evan take out the cameras while Jean rescues Principal Kelly. I fly down and pull one of the players from the trench. I place her on the ground and she backs away from me in fear. The reaction feels like someone stabbing me. I wonder if I'll ever get accepted. I look around to see Rogue using her powers to knock out Blob and Kurt locked in combat with Toad. The sky suddenly fills with clouds, a single figure floating in the centre. Storm. Thunder crashes and lightning flashes as rain floods down on the already ruined football pitch. The water soaks us all through, but thankfully puts out the flames caused by the burning statue. Storm comes in to land next to the Professor and starts having an argument with him. I am too far away to hear, but it's not hard to guess it's about what's just happened. I look around and see that suddenly everyone is frozen, as if time itself has stopped. I know it hasn't though because the rain is still falling and all of us Mutants seem ok. It must be the Professor! I realise, he must be trying to wipe their memories or something. But there's so many! I walk towards where the others have congregated around him. He seems to be struggling; I was right about there being too many. He twitches then falls limp in his wheelchair. We all change back into our normal clothes. When we return the people have begun to unfreeze.

"Those were some crazy fireworks"

"Talk about a show starter, more like fire starter"

I hear people strike up conversation, obviously having only the memories the Professor made them have, that the damage was caused by the fireworks. Thank goodness it's all over.

So, I hope that was up to your expectations after such a long gap. In case you didn't realise, the colour-changing girl is Millie. Her Codename is Rainbow and her abilities are to change the pigment in her skin and anything she touches at will, it is also heavily connected to her emotions.

Angie will not appear for a few chapters, some things need to happen first.

Bye for now,
