Mom: baby come here

Me(walk to her bed): mom ?

Mom(weakly): I want you to do something for me once I'm gone ok ?

Me(shake my head starting to cry): no no don't say that mom

Mom(cup my face with her shaky hands): baby listen to me I want you... to find your father... and you can't... you can't let them put you in the system... promise me that you'll run... never stop until you're safe promise me Olympia

Me(crying): ok I will mom... I promise (kiss her head) now please rest mom you'll be better in the morning

She gives me a small smile before closing her eyes and letting go of my face.

Mom: I love you my baby girl

Me(whisper as she flat line): I love you too mom

I start to cry as nurses and doctors run in. Because of her will they can't try to revive her so they sigh and call the time of death before turning to me.

Doctor: I'm very sorry for your loss miss Lehnsherr is there someone we can call to come get you ? If you don't we'll have to call social services...

Me(wipe my tears): uh I have a.. an aunt who lives in the U.S.A

Doctor: Well then how about you give me her number and we'll call her

Me: sure give me a minute to find her number in my mom's phone I'll come find you once I got it

Doctor: that seems perfect you can give it to the nurse station once you're ready and did your goodbyes

I nod as they leave and I slowly walk back up to my mother bed. I sit down on the side of her bed and take one of her hand.

Me: vreíte eiríni me tous progónous mas kai na eíste prostatevménoi apó tous theoús
find peace with our ancestors and may you be protected by the gods

I sigh holding back the tears before putting her hand down and leaving the room. I close the door and take a deep breath before looking both ways and sneaking out of the hospital. Once I'm out I run hailing a cab. Once I'm in I have him take me to the airport. Once at the airport I get out of the car and get to the passenger window before making him forget about me.

Once that's done I walk into the airport and walk to a store to find some clothes to get changed.

Once changed I walk to the gate and get a ticket for Washington. I paid with the little money I had before going to my gate. After about an hour my flight got called and I got into the plane showing the flight attendant my ticket and making her imagine seeing a valid passport. She lets me through and I walk into the plane sitting down in my seat. Once comfortable I close my eyes letting a few tears fall down my face before falling asleep.

Hours later in Washington

Flight attendant: miss ? Miss ?

Me(waking up): yes ?

Flight attendant: everyone left the plane you looked exhausted so we let you sleep while the other passengers left but now I'm gonna have to ask you to go

Me: oh yes thank you for letting me sleep I was indeed exhausted I'll be on my way thank you

I got up and the flight attendant escorted me out. Once into the airport I looked around not sure of where I should go. I was disoriented and completely lost. I've never been anywhere else than Greece before. I start to walk towards the exit of the airport when I find myself feeling looked at. I frown feeling someone inside my head.

Me(in my head): get out of my head and make yourself known instead

Just then I see a man chuckle as he nods towards me to his partner. They start to walk towards me as I frown. Who are they ?

???: hello Olympia I'm Charles Xavier and this is Erik

Me: Lehnsherr ?

Erik: how do you know that ?

Me(unsure if I should tell him he's my dad): ... I'm not telling you

Charles: you know what we are and I know what you are... a mutant

Me: I don't know what you're talking about

Charles: you don't have a passport on you so you couldn't have come here without one which mean you can create illusions in the mind of others along with a lot more powers then you even realize also I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother

Me(clench my teeth): fine I get it you know and I'm guessing you're a telepath

Charles: I am now would you mind following us ?

Me(scoff): going with total strangers what a great idea ! I might be young but I am no fool you might be like me but I don't know you

Charles(in my head): Erik is your father he might not know it but it is your mother last wishes for you to find him and now you have...

Me(scoff and answer out loud): fine I'll come with you but don't try anything

Charles smile as I can feel Erik looking at me curiously. They walk off and I follow closely behind. We got out of the airport and we got into a car before they drive off. I took the time to look at Erik discreetly. My father. I got his hair and probably his height too since my mother was only 5'4 and I'm 5'8 while he looks to be about 6 feet tall. Then I saw him looking back at me in the mirror and I looked away and out the window. I looked out the window until we got to I don't even know where but it's a big building. We got out of the car and I followed them and Charles opened a door nodding towards the interior. I rolled my eyes and walked inside as Erik and him followed behind.

Charles: everyone meet the last recruit Olympia, Olympia meet the others

Me: you do realize you haven't even told me where we are and "the others" what does that mean are they mutants too ?

Charles: apologies you are right we are at the CIA headquarters and they are indeed mutants too

Me(eyes widen): WHAT ?! (Whisper to Charles) You brought me to a government facility !? Do you want me to get deported ?! Or killed ?

Erik: don't worry they won't know we'll make sure of it but where were you coming from ?

Me(sigh): Greece

Erik: ah beautiful country amazing culture too

Me(mumbles): pretty woman too apparently

Erik(frown): what ?

Me: nothing

Erik frowned looking at me as I stood there uncomfortably before turning around on my heels and going to sit down in a free spot.
