Marina's story

Chapter 2

I was laying my back on the hotel bed, still thinking about the phone call I just had. When I heard a knock on the door so I got up and went to answer it. On the other side, I see two gentlemen I've never seen before. One was about six feet brown hair, the other slightly shorter, not much, though also brown haired.

"Hello, are you Marina?" The shorter one asked. The taller one narrowed his eyes at me as if studying me to see what I would say. "Uh yeah, who are you, and how do you know my name?" I asked with a puzzled expression. "Sorry, I'm Charles Xavier, and this is Erik lehnsherr. We wanted to have a talk, " Charles explained.

"A talk about what exactly?" I asked, still very confused. "Will explain if you let us inside," Erik explained rather impatient. My face went from confused to serious as he demanded me. "Sorry, but I don't know you, so if you'll explain, then I would happily let you in." I quickly defended myself. Erik looked like he was so bored with this conversation. Honestly, I would be, too.

"We are mutants like you, so could we please come in?" Charles explained with a smile. I was shocked. I didn't know there were other mutants like myself. "That still doesn't make me trust you," I still explained. Erik rubbed his face, totally done with this conversation. "How about this? we will show you our mutation, and then you can show us yours, " Erik said, wanting to speed this up. I reluctantly let them inside so they can show off without people knowing.

"So what exactly are your mutations?" I asked as I sat down as they sat on the bed. "I can control metal," Erik said, snapping his fingers, making the metal objects in the room float. I slightly smiled at the sight. "And I am a telepath or, in other words, I can read your mind, darling," Charles explained they both looked at me. Oh, right, I have to show min now. I stand up slightly, open my arms, and close my eyes to focus. In a matter of seconds, all the water nearby floated over to me, creating a sheild around my body.

I opened my eyes and saw the amazed expressions on the two men's faces. Buy then, Erik whispered to Charles, "With that mutation, she could be our greatest alliance or greatest enemy," Charles looked at Erik and nodded in agreement to whatever he said. "So, is there a reason you are here?" I said, interrupting their conversation. They looked back at me. "How would you like to join us to protect the world with your mutation?" They asked in unison. My smile grew at the thought. I shook my head yes they looked pleased with my answer. "Then come with us," Erik said, heading to the door.
