Prologue
~Victoria~
Hi I'm Victoria
Robinson and this is how I met Charles Xavier. This is how my life changed forever.
I was sitting in my lab looking at some blood samples from animals and people alike when suddenly I feel a telepath near me loud and clear. Like they were in the room with me but when I look around I don't see anyone. I shook my head at looked back at my work again. I work for an hour before one of the interns pokes his head through the door "What is it?" I ask standing from my place behind my laptop "Someone's here to see you." He says timidly "Let them in then." I say removing my glasses and rubbing my temples "Hello I'm Charles Xavier." A man says as he enters the room "Victoria Robinson." I say holding out a hand for him to shake "I have got to say it is extremely exciting meeting someone like me." He says shaking my hand "A scientist or a mutant?" I ask smiling "Both." he says happily "What's your mutation?" I ask curiously "I'm a telepath. You?" He answers "Telepathic and Telekinetic." I answer "What do you need?" I ask taking off my lab coat "A mutant by the name of Sebastian Shaw is trying to start World War III and I am bringing together a group of mutants to help stop him." Charles explains "I won't be much help. I barely have a handle on my mutation." I say picking up a file and quickly reading through it "I can help you control it." he promises "You're not taking no for an answer are you?" I ask looking up at him "I can tell you want to come with me." He says smirking "Alright fine." I say grabbing my handbag and following Charles out the door "So how many have you found so far?" I ask as i slip into the car with Charles "Seven. Excluding you and me." He answers before he leaves the parking lot behind "I was wondering is Victoria even your real name?" Charles asks me "No. How'd you know?" I ask looking at him suspiciously "I didn't read your mind if that's what you're asking. I can tell when someone isn't telling the whole truth." He explains "My name is actually Melodie Turner." I say looking out the window "Why'd you change your name?" He asks curiously "I was being hunted by someone who was payed to kill me and my parents. He succeeded with my parents but not with me. I was taken in by an elderly lady who changed my name so I could at least have some semblance of a childhood. She died a year ago. So I've been on my own ever since." I say looking at Charles to see him looking at me sadly "Who was after you?" He asks "Someone by the name of Klaus Schmidt." I answer looking out the window again "He wanted me for experiments but my parents refused him so he had a hitman come after us." I explain "He changed his name to Sebastian Shaw so you have a chance at revenge." Charles says pulling up outside a very large building "Are you working for the CIA?" I ask as we get out of the car "Sort of." He says leading me inside "Erik. I would like you to meet Victoria Robinson. Victoria this is Erik Lehnsherr." He says pointing out a man leaning against a wall "What's your mutation?" I ask curiously "I can manipulate metal. You?" He asks "Telepathy and telekinesis." I say smiling "It is a pleasure to meet you." I say as Charles leads us down the hall to a courtyard. Or what was left of one. "What the hell happened here?" a CIA agent asks angrily "Who destroyed the statue?" She asks "Alex did it." A you boy with curly hair says pointing at blonde boy "No it's Havoc. We have to call him Havoc. And we were thinking you could be Professor X and you could be Magneto." A blonde girl says pointing at Charles then Erik "Exceptional." Erik says sarcastically "I expected better from all of you." Charles says thoroughly annoyed "This is Victoria. Treat her nicely. She can turn your mind to slush." He adds as he nudges me forward. "Erik and I have to go to Russia we will be back tomorrow." Charles says before him, Erik and the CIA agent left the courtyard. "Hi, I'm Victoria Robinson." I say sheepishly.
