((Alternatively, Stryker could have kidnapped Ryuko and revealed her "mutation" via decapitation. Obviously, I went with the less queasy of the two.))

Charles Xavier watched as a black jet landed at the school. A rugged man and a girl with a red streak in her hair stepped off the plane. "Welcome back, Logan. And greetings to you, Miss Matoi."

The girl tried to brush him off. "Yeah, yeah, old man. Where should I set up camp?"

~You can pick any room you like, though I believe room 135 is close to some girls your age.~

Ryuko's jaw dropped. "Woah, did you just...You're reading my thoughts aren't you? Um, you wouldn't hold it against me for..."

"Well, I haven't been called a Yankee monk on wheels." Xavier smiled. "Though I don't think Bayville High would be lenient on your...self-defense. Especially the 'Tooth Fairy' routine."

Ryuko blushed and quickly headed down the hall. Xavier turned his attention back to Logan. "How was the family situation?"

"Messed up, Chuck. Messed up." Logan recounted as he taps his head. "Her father really cares for her, but he spents too much time working. And his mother, well, the girl's told she's dead."

Charles peered into Logan's mind and watched as Isshin Matoi had discussed more specific details with Logan. "Hm, Life Fibers, sewn in by her own mother. I can see the need for lies for now. But Life Fibers as a evolutionary catalyst..."

Ryuko looked around. "He said 135, right? Or did he think that? What do they call that kind of mind-speaking?"

"Hi!" A girl burst through her door. Ryuko yelped, reasonable as the door was still in one piece and locked. "Hey, you're new, aren't you? I'm Kitty Pride!"

"Um, Ma- Ryuko Matoi." Ryuko grabbed the girl's hand, expect it to go through. "So you have ghost powers?"

"It's more like phasing. I can't shoot lasers out of my hands or possess people. The last part's very icky." Kitty looks at Ryuko's hair. "Hey, Rogue also has a stripe in her hair, except hers is white"

Kitty grabbed Ryuko and pulled her into another room. Without opening the door. And somehow, Kitty and Ryuko crashed into Rogue who was just getting dressed up. "Ah! Kitty, what did ah tell ya about...you okay, sugah?"

Ryuko stared at her hand. When she collided with Rogue, she felt as if something was draining her, but then red and black fibers surrounded her hand and nulled that pain, and even now it was drawing back into her body. "Yeah, just another reminder of how I'm not human."

Rogue also noticed the feeling and the glove. Still, she puts on her own gloves and helps Ryuko up. "Sorry about that. People call me Rogue, and I don't like my powers. I can't go touching other people without taking a piece of them."

"And I feel like an ass just now." Ryuko though being alone was bad, but never to be touched? "Anyway, I'm Ryuko Matoi, and apparently, I'm part alien clothing."
