Act 1: Scene 4 At Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. 10 years later
After the events at the statue of Liberty Elsa was enrolled immediately into Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. Elsa was shocked to find out the mansion really was a real school with real classes. During her time in Arendelle she was always home schooled because, well she was the princess and all. So she never knew what it was like to be in a real school. And boy did she hate it. Wolverine taught history and he must of gotten a reward for worlds strictest teacher, he had zero tolerance for nonsense and always gave them so much homework that they had to clear their schedules for the rest of the evening because they would be busy in their books. There were some nice teachers however. Kurt Wagner, also known as Nightcrawler who taught literature was always calm and understanding and wasn't near as strict as Wolverine. Elsa did respect him for the most part, mainly because he actually tried to help the students out when they had questions. Whenever someone asked Wolverine a question he always said
"It's in your book, read it!" Boy did Elsa hate that. However if she was ever going to be a real member of the X-men first she had to graduate from school, so for the next ten years of her life she put up with all the classes and homework, now at the age of 18 she only had one year to go then she could finally graduate and become a X-men if she chose to. She was so excited that she couldn't concentrate in Nightcrawler's class and was staring out the window thinking about her future. It was only when the bell rung and class was over that she finally snapped back to reality. As she started packing up her books Nightcrawler called her aside for a little chat.
"Elsa I've noticed that you have been distracted lately. What's on your mind?" Nightcrawler asked. Nightcrawler was a mutant with indigo colored skin with two toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand. He had yellow eyes and pointed ears as well as a prehensile tail.
"Sorry sir, I've been thinking a lot about after I graduate this place about becoming a true member of the X-men. About joining you on the battle field, about fighting for mutant kind" Elsa said.
"Oh it takes more than just graduating the school to become X-men. You need to prove that you can control your powers."
"And I have been working on that with Storm and Ice Man. But the thing is my powers are growing faster than I can keep up with them."
"That's what happens when a mutant gets around your age. Their powers start growing more powerful and a mutant has to work hard to control them. You're not the only one that has gone through this Elsa. Multiple mutants have been in your shoes."
"And how do I control my powers when they keep getting powerful?"
"That is a talk for you and Xavier Elsa. But I know you can do it. I've got faith in you."
"Thank you Nightcrawler." Elsa said as she started to walk out the classroom.
"Oh and Elsa, make sure you get your essay on Homer's Iliad done by next week."
"I will." Elsa said as she walked out the door.
"Feeling a little stressed huh?" Gambit asked standing by the door.
"Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind right now I guess." Elsa said
"Like what?"
"Ok you can't tell Xavier this but I guess I don't understand the point of this whole school thing." Elsa said "I mean shouldn't he instead be teaching us to control our powers instead of teaching about some ancient city that I don't care about. With all this homework that Logan and the other teachers give me I barely have enough time to practice controlling my powers."
"I feel you Cher" Gambit said
"You do?"
"Yeah, I felt the same way when I first came here, still do actually, we should be learning more about controlling our powers instead of history, literature or any other school stuff. That's why I'm not a professor. Well that and the fact that I skipped school a lot when I was your age. I never was that great of a student.
"You can't tell Xavier I feel this way. After all I feel like I owe him for taking me in all those years back."
"Cher, this will only stay between you and me."
"Thanks Gambit." Elsa said hugging him. "Now if you excuse me I've got to torture my mind with some stuff on the Roman Empire."
"No problem Cher." Gambit said as he watched Elsa walk off. When Elsa's back was turned however Gambit's eyes turned yellow and he soon transformed into Mystique.
"Oh this is good, this is real good." Mystique said with a mischievous grin as she walked off.
Off in Arendelle an advisor for the king and queen burst into the throne room with important news.
"Your majesties" he said
"What is it Edmond" The king asked
"I have some news about Elsa." Edmond said "There have been some reported sightings in New York about a young woman with light blond hair in the New York city area. No news of where in New York she is but if these reports is true we could be close to bringing her back home."
"If this is true, are search is almost over. Get a ship ready to set sail Edmond, if she is in New York we will find her." The king said
"Is this really happening?" Anna said running up to her father
"I believe so." The king said "You stay here and watch the kingdom. Your mother and I should be back within two weeks with your sister." The king then turned to Edmond. "Contact the Mayor of New York and let them know of our arrival."
"Yes your majesty" Edmond said running off.
"You're coming home Elsa" The king said to himself.
The news spread fast about the king and queen's arrival to Arendelle and within just a couple of hours it was all over the news. The word had even reached Charles Xavier who was watching the news report in his office with Jean, Scott, and Storm.
"Word has spread that the long lost princess of Arendelle, who disappeared ten years ago may be living right here in New York" The female news reporter said on the news. "Now word had reached out to the royal couple of Arendelle who are right now boarded on a ship headed over to New York to search for her."
"What do you think of this professor?" Scott said
"I'm not sure Scott" Xavier said.
"Obviously we are going to have to do the right thing and contact the King when they land and let him know where Elsa has been all these years." Storm said
"Then what do we do?" Jean asked "The whole reason we took Elsa in was because she ran away because she couldn't control her powers and was afraid of hurting them."
"I know that but her parents deserve the right to know where she is. Whatever happens then is between Elsa and her parents. And if she decides to return home then we can't hold her back." Xavier said "She is 18 years old now. She is no longer a child. She has to decide her own path. And whatever it happens to be we have to accept it."
"I know that professor" Jean said.
"Good now bring Elsa here" Xavier said.
Elsa was in her room buried into her history book reading about the Roman Empire. She couldn't believe that Logan wanted them to read 100 pages about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire for a test tomorrow. Banging her head against the book, she felt like her brain was about to fry trying to take in all that information.
"Elsa, Professor Xavier wants to see you. It's about something important." Jean said interrupting Elsa's studies.
"If this is about the mess that I caused in the danger room yesterday, I cleaned it up afterword." Elsa said to Xavier as she walked in his office.
"No, it's nothing about that, now please take a seat." Xavier said pointing to a chair in front of his desk. Elsa sat down and noticed all the other X-men standing around her. Elsa couldn't help but feel a little nervous about why she was called in.
"Did I do something wrong?" Elsa asked
"No your good" Xavier said "The reason I called you in hear is because we heard that your parents have found out that you are living here in New York and they are on their way over here now to search for you."
"Are you serious?!" Elsa gasped surprised.
"Yes, now I have already decided it would be best to let them know that you are here with us but rather or not you decide to stay here or go back to Arendelle with them is up for you to decide. All we want is for you to be happy."
"I…I don't know what to say." Elsa said
"That's ok Elsa you don't have to make a decision right away. Their ship isn't scheduled to arrive for one week.
"I do miss them a lot." Elsa said then after sitting in her seat pondering what to do for a few minutes she said
"I… I think I would like to go back with them. But can you come over with me until I can fully control my powers?"
"Of course my child, I am here to help you." Xavier said with a smile. Elsa ran up and hugged Xavier tightly with a tear streaming down her face.
"Thank you professor," Elsa said.
Unbeknown to any of them was that Mystique was listening in from the wall outside to the conversation and she was not happy with what she heard.
"I must contact Magneto at once. We have to stop that ship somehow." She said before running off to tell Magneto the news.
Elsa ran out of the office Excited, she couldn't believe it. After ten years she would finally be going back home.
(In one week: Parody of Tomorrow from Little orphan Annie, Sung by Elsa.)
Elsa: My parents will be here in one week
Bet your bottom dollar that in one week, there will be joy
Just thinking about next week
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow that's bummed the joy
I've been waiting for this day for so many years
And now I can finally say with happy tears
Oh my parents will be here in one week
I just have to hold on for one week
Come what may
In one week, in one week
They'll be here in one week
They're only one week away
I've been waiting for this day for so many years
And now I can say with happy tears
My parents will be hear in one week
I've just got to hang on for one week
Come with may
In one week, in one week
They'll be here in one week
They're only one week away
In one week, in one week
They'll be here in one week
They're only one week away
Back in Magneto's lair in the cave, Mystique walked up to Magneto's desk with the news.
"Erik we have some problems."
"What is it?"
"Elsa's parents are on a ship from Arendelle headed our way. They know that Elsa is in New York and is on their way to bring her back to Arendelle. If they take her then your plan is ruined and all these years will have been for nothing."
"How far are they from arriving?" Magneto asked
"About a good week"
"Is there any storms in the forecast for their direction."
"None that I have heard" Mystique said
"I see" Magneto said thinking for a moment "Well I guess the only thing left to do is create a storm. We cannot allow them to arrive. You know what to do."
Mystique gave an evil smile. She knew what Magneto wanted her to do. She then morphed into Storm, the mutant who could control the weather. She then walked out and flew toward the ocean where the ship was at. It was time to sink that ship with a little bad weather.
