Chapter Two
In the corner of Westchester county New York, laid a mansion. It was a three storey building with white brick walls on the outside and cobber colored roof tiles, it looked as it consisted of three main buildings that was connected with slimmer ones. It had many and big windows and the front door was a double with square glass in it, a smaller stair led up to the door, making another level of ground. The mansion had much land belonging to it, in the back garden was a big pool but it also had a basketball field and training grounds. Inside of the building was many rooms, a lot of them to sleep in but also the ones for eating, a big and very functional kitchen where food was prepared.
Then there was living rooms, but what this mansion also had was class rooms and even a chemistry lab. But what was even more unusual was that in the basement of this magnificent building, was a room that was by the inhabited called 'The Danger Room'. As the name implied, this room was used to train the people who lived in the mansion in many dangerous situations.
It was created by the highest technology so it was able to create holograms that was as close to reality as any could come, but the weapons installed in the room was very real.
But in the underground was something even more spectacular than the high tech training room, this room or maybe more a machine would be the interest of many country's and military but even if they got hold of it, they would not be able to use it. It was given the name Cerebro, the Spanish name for 'Brain'.
This room/machine allowed only one person to come in and it was the person who could use it, behind the locked, automatic doors was a complete circle. Like two domes put together in a ball form, if one were to fall from the bridge he or she would either die or suffer from massive bone breaks and would very unlikely come to walk or work normal again.
The bridge went from the door to the middle of the room, both middle in height and spread.
It was big enough for a wheelchair to be there and not be in any danger of falling down, at the end of this steel bridge the surface or form became round and there stood what looked like a control panel but without all the buttons like you see in sci-fi movies.
It did however had a sort of helmet attached to it, right now it was on the top of a persons head.
This person was one of the only one known who was able to use this machine without receiving any kind of damage from it, he also was the owner of the mansion and the land that belonged to it.
He was a man in his late thirty's with brown eyes and a completely bald head, he was sitting in a highly technological wheelchair with the inside of the 'wheels' were formed as a X.
This wheelchair didn't need anyone to push him or him manually to rotate the wheels, although he was sometimes seen to be driven by some of his very close friends, colleagues and allies.
His name was Charles Xavier and he had just been shut out from a mutant mind he had sorted out from the crowd by unknown reason, he had not received any kind of damage from it but the feeling of a heavy metal door being slammed right in front of him, still lingered in his mind.
It was not often that non-telepathic's was able to shut him out, cause he was fairly sure that this mutant didn't have that ability. But a strong psyche nonetheless.
It had been a female, a teenage girl about fifteen years or so. Before she had been able to shut him out he had manage to find her location, but it was fuzzy.
Charles had begone to search the area of outskirts of New York after rumors had been heard in the city of a angel flying in the city, he had of course immediately thought of Warren Worthington who was known among mutant friends as Angel. But Warren had claimed not to have flown in that part of the city at all in the last week, also the rumors said that the angels wings was black like ink.
Warren's wings was white, not black.
Charles was pretty sure that this mutant was alone and confused, in the short amount of time he had been the her head he had seen the inside of where she was staying in the moment.
A broken down, rotten and old building that only waited to be demolished, also he had sensed great sorrow and wondering in the mind of her.
After a few more tries to contact the mutant girl that was only met by the same metal door, he took
of the helmet and a minor plan was beginning to form inside his head.
The girl had no doubt noticed his presence and she would possible change location to avoid being found by any unwanted people, so if he wanted to get to her before she disappeared he would most likely have to send a team to her location to give her the offer of staying with them.
The wheelchair silently rolled back towards the door, it opened and outside stood a young man with brown hair and his eyes hidden behind a pair of reddish sunglasses even thought it was night time and he was inside.
"So Professor, were you able to track down this 'Angel of the Night' mutant?"
The doors closed behind Charles, he nodded and kept rolling with the man walking beside him.
"Yes, she is a teenage girl, but I do not known what kind of powers she have Scott"
The man, Scott made big eyes. You couldn't see the eyes but his eyebrows rose up as well, showing the surprise that the hidden eyes also showed right now.
"How come Professor?" Scott asked, this made Charles go back into his thinking.
"She was able to block me out before I could found out and I haven't been able to
get through to her since"
This surprised the young mutant again, he knew that the Professor was a very powerful telepathic mutant. So how come one little mutant girl could block him out? He asked this question.
"I'm not sure" they had reached the elevator and Charles pressed the button to go on first floor.
"Couldn't you not break through this block?" Scott then asked while the elevator traveled upwards.
"I could, if I wanted to hurt the girl" he said this without any emotion except a bit of sarcasm, the Professor was no cold man but he did keep calm almost no matter what.
"What do you want to do Professor?" There was a silence while Charles decided what to do, if there was any chance that this girl needed and wanted their help he wanted to give her the opportunity and if she disappeared he couldn't do that.
"Go down there, take Jean, Ororo and also Kurt and Kitty with you. The four of them seems to be awake already" Scott nodded and went out to find the two younger ones, since he knew that Xavier would contact the two others telepathic. He found Kitty and Kurt in the kitchen, both in their night clothing and Kurt didn't wear the holographic image inducer so he was his normal blue, elf as Logan called him self.
When the two of them noticed Scott they thought they were gonna be busted, it was after all past the
curfew and Scott was known to be a goodi-good or as Logan called him boy-scout.
"Eh, hallo Scott...vas up?" Kurt said nervously, Kitty had it the same way "Hey Scoot..."
If it wasn't because that they had to go on the mission he would probably had lectured them, he always tried to act as a good role model for the younger ones in the institute. It sadly ever helped.
"Change into uniforms, the Professor have located a the 'Angel of the Night' that everybody have been talking about the past days and you two are coming with us"
This took the two teenagers back a bit, but then they hurried to their room. Kurt of course just disappeared in a puff of smoke and appeared a second later in his room, Kitty had to go the normal way up the stairs. They both thought that going on a pick up mission was at least better then hearing Scott's lecturing about rules and breaking them.
About fifteen minutes later all five of them was down in the part of the basement were they kept their planes. Ororo, Scott, Jean, Kitty and Kurt. They all walked into the Blackbird.
Charles had already given Storm who was the one steered the plane the coordinates and a warning to be careful, not sure how the girl would react to company.
P.O.V Change
Rose had somehow managed to fall asleep without the images of blood and murder in her dreams,
instead she saw flashes of her life before that happened. Her small home near the forest of Northern Carolina, her school she had went to. The distant and faded faces of the teachers and class comrades, a picture of an angel with black wings who held a man and a woman in her hands that she had drawn. How her parents would help her to fly, not containing her powers but helping her control them. But she was awaken abruptly when she felt the ground shook slightly, which where enough for the rundown building to tremble and pulling her out of her sleep.
In a second she was up when she heard the door to the building go up and voices that she did not know speak quietly, in nano-second this time she had folded her wings out and flown up to one of the bars in the corner of the ceiling. Completely engulf her in shadows and darkness, a couple of moments later the door to the room Rose was in went up and the total number of five people came in from it. From her spot she had clear view of the appearances of these stranger, there was three females and two males.
One of the females was a woman in her thirty's probably, her skin was dark like an Africans and her hair was white and went to the middle of her back. Her eyes was blue and she wore a outfit that was dark blue and had some kind of turtle neck cape to it, with a middle circle with an X formed in it.
Then there was a man, he had to be about twenty. He had brown short hair and wore some kind of sci-fi looking thing that covered his eyes and the glass was reddish, his outfit was also dark blue in the base but across his chest was a golden plate formed as an X. His boots when to the knees and on his shoulders appeared the X again, this time in black with red background.
Then there was the woman who walked close to the him, she had red hair to past her shoulders and green eyes but more forest green like her fathers. She was wearing a jumpsuit in the same color as the two others but it was green from between her legs and up to her chest and shoulders, like the other guy she had black X with red on the side of her shoulders.
Rose began wondering who these strange people were, then she saw the last to. They looked about her age, a girl and a boy. The girl had brown hair in a high ponytail and pale blue eyes, her attire looked a bit like the red haired. But the green was a lavender color with this one and she had a yellow belt with an X on it, also her boots was lavender and gloves was yellow.
She looked a lot like the girls that Rose saw walking in groups and chattering loudly before laughing of some private joke, one of them had just said.
The last one was the most extraordinary, he didn't look that human. He had dark blue fur and a few shade darker hair that was a bit longer then Rose was use to seeing on boys, his eyes was yellow and Rose noticed the smaller fangs inside his mouth.
'Like mine' she couldn't help but think and bring her hand up two her own fangs, then shaking her head soundless before studying the blue boy further.
He didn't have five fingers like his comrades, he had three and only to toes that reminded her a little bit of talons. Beside that then he also had a tail, a tail that at the end was pointy like a arrow and his ears was also pointy like an elfs.
He was walking more animal like, as if he would be faster if he was to run on all four.
Rose realized that he was a mutant, just like her. Did that mean that the other four was also mutants? There was no physical evidence for that, Rose knew that that wasn't necessary for being a mutant. She envied those who could walk freely among the normal humans, in tank-tops without worrying that their wings might show.
"Someone have definitely been here" the man with the glass said, Rose rolled with her eyes and thought 'Thank you Dr. Obvious, how did you deduce that? By the sleeping bag? The backpack or maybe the foot prints in the dust!'
He didn't seem stupid, more like an idiot. The brown haired girl looked at the nap sack before saying "Then where is she, like now?"
That statement made Rose tense up a bit, how did they know she was a girl. Nothing of what was on the floor could indicate to her gender, so how.
"She can not have gone far, her things are still here" the woman with the white hair said, they looked around them some more. Their was sometimes when they were actually looking at her but didn't know it, then the red haired put to fingers to each temple of her head but before Rose could block her out she had notice her and said loudly, pointing with her index finger.
"Up there" everyone's attention was directed up on the corner where Rose had before been hidden, she cursed inside her head and pushed the woman out very harsh.
"Hello?" The man tried, Rose didn't say anything. She didn't trust that easily, even if all of them was mutants. Then the white haired tried "We will not harm you child, we're just here to talk"
Her voice was soft and Rose was unwilling being reminded of her mother, she shook the feeling away. When she still didn't say anything the red one who had discovered her tried.
"How about coming down from there so we can talk?" she tried persuading her, this time Rose spoke. "I will come down when I feel like it" she replied harshly, she wasn't to fond of people trying to get into her mind but she knew that the red head had not been the one who had the first time on this night tried to look into her head.
The other presence had been much more powerful, this one wasn't weak but not as the other ones level, not at all.
The pony tailed girl huffed and said in a low voice, not meant for Rose to hear "Like, rude much"
The white haired woman spoke again "What is your name child?"
Rose cursed the woman for having such a motherly voice, because of that she actually answered.
"Rose, who are you" her voice was still harsh, she did not give her last name. No need for that.
"My name is Ororo but most of my friends call me Storm"
The woman, Storm answered before continuing with the presentation of the people present.
"And this is Jean" the gestured to the red head who gave a smile, then to the man "Scott also known as Cyclops" he looked as serious as before.
"Then there is Kitty who we also call Shadowcat" this time she motioned towards the teenage girl, who made a small wave at her. "And then we have Kurt, his other name is Nightcrawler"
That was the blue furred boy who as the only one actually spoke when he got presented.
"Hallo fräulein" Rose realized that he was speaking German, her green eyes became a bit wider before they returned to normal.
"And we are all mutants, just like you Rose"
Rose had kinda already figured that much out herself, the blue one, Kurt was obvious one and Jean too. Rose momentarily wondered what the rest of them could do and why they had code names, well except for Jean.
"So what do you want? If you are here to recruit me for the whole 'Destroying humans', then you can leave now! I have no interest in that bullshit" her voice was sharp that it was to materialize itself, it could cut through bone. She had met some of those mutants, those who believed they were the superior race and therefor had some kind of right to rule the world.
Rose didn't believe in that, she had maybe been held against her will for six years by humans but her parents had also been normal humans. So was the teachers at her old school and the kids in that, and they were all good people. So she didn't have anything against people who had done nothing wrong to her, only those who had killed her parents.
"We are totally not like them, we're like the good guys" Kitty said in a thick Valley accent.
Jean cleared her throat "What Kitty is trying to say, is that we do not share that point of view that some of our fellow mutants do. We work to make a better world for humans and mutants alike"
Rose was a bit taken back by this, she had never heard about that before. With a less sharp but still harsh voice she asked "That doesn't answer my question, what have any of that to do with me?
Why have you come here?"
This time the glass guy, Scott spoke for the first time after he stated the obvious.
"We have been send by our Professor to offer you a place to stay, a place where you don't need to hide your mutant ability's"
That struck a sore point, not having to wear a big jacket for hide her wings. A place where she could maybe wouldn't feel so much as a stranger and alien as she did, when she walked in the streets on New York. A place like when she was young, where people wouldn't be afraid or test her just because of her wings and other mutant ability's. Then her rational sense returned, how could she know that this wasn't a trick, to capture her for a purpose she didn't know yet.
"And how can I be sure that this professor of yours isn't just gonna lock me up?"
This seemed to struck a nerve with the them, especially Scott.
"Professor Xavier would never-!" and then she didn't hear the rest, the only thing that went through her head was the last name he had said. It echoed, over and over again. She heard the last words of her mother before the bullet ripped through her brain "Go to New York, find Charles Xavier"
that echoed to but it began shorting so the only thing she heard was 'Xavier, Xavier, Xavier, find Xavier, find Charles Xavier, Xavier'
Scott was still talking "-he have dedicated his life to-" he didn't get to finish his long praise of the professor that you would think that he had practiced, before Rose abruptly interrupted him.
"Did you say Xavier!" she asked, almost shouted from her beam in the ceiling. Scott was completely taken of guard, he wasn't use to people interrupting him. Not listening yes but not interrupting. "What?" he asked lame, lucky for both him and Rose, Jean took over and said.
"Yes, that is our mentor and guardian, he owns the institute 'Xavier's school for gifted youngsters'.
He helps us to control our powers" if is wasn't because Rose's brain was filled with hope of that this Xavier they were speaking of was the same one her mother had, she would probably had snickered over the name. It sounded like the name of a private school for snobby rich kids.
She emerge from the shadows, revealing her face and part of her body but her wings that was raven black couldn't be seen by them yet.
"Xavier, as in Charles Xavier?" the hope in her voice was as clear as the sun was on a cloud free day, so of course the five of them noticed it too. They had obvious not expecting her to know their mentor, Rose couldn't care less right now. She just wanted to know if she had finally found the man she had searched for, for about a year. The man that her mother meant could help her, could it really be him? Xavier couldn't be that common of a name.
"Ja, but how did you know?" the German accent was easily heard between the others, it had of course been Kurt who spoke that time. For reasons not clear to her, Rose kinda trusted him more then the others. Maybe except Storm, but that was only because of that motherly voice she had used when she talked to Rose. Maybe it was because he didn't look normal to, the other looked completely human and nothing out of the ordinary beside the white hair and clothing.
Kurt probably had a way harder time to fit in then she had, maybe that was why.
Without a second thought, Rose jumped gracefully down from the beam. Landing in the shadows, then walking completely out in the light of the moon so it illuminated her and showed her black wing that was still folded on her back.
"Because, it's him I've been looking for"
