Cassia had been traveling for about a day and found herself in a nearby town for food. She was hungry and had some cash from her parents for lunch.

Oh, how she'd miss her overbearing parents.

It was all to much. She killed 13 people. She can never go home. She didn't know what had happened to her.

Cassia knew it was shock. She didn't know what to do other than run.

She had her hood covering herself as much as possible as she stuffed her face quickly. The girl wasn't sure what happened to her back at school and she didn't want it to happen again. The blood, the quiet. It haunted her.

"Breaking news: classroom found dead and a student missing.."

Cassia inconspicuously looked up through her lashes and saw a video of armed guards and bodies covered in white tarp being rolled out of her school. Her heart started racing and she put her money down.

"Cassia?"

The girl looked to her left swiftly with wide eyes seeing an unfamiliar man in a wheelchair. He had kind blue eyes, short brown hair, and he was dressed in a suit, he couldn't be much older than her. He looked about 26 but anyone looking at him could tell he's wise.

"Who-"

"I'm Charles Xavier." He looked up at the news report still talking about the incident. "And it appears you need my help."

"I don't know what you are talking about." She got up and walked out of the restaurant at a fast pace.

"Cassia Salvatore. 18 years old. Wave manipulation..."

"What are you..?"

"I have a home. I have a few.. friends who are like you. I can help you. What happened in your classroom can happen again. People. The government won't like what you can do. So... will you come with me?"

"How do I know you're telling the truth?"

'Because I'm like you.' He spoke in her mind. 'And I want to make sure you can live as close to normal as that life you wanted.'

Cassia shuttered at his intrusion. "That's creepy you can read my mind."

"He does a lot more than that." Another man walked up beside Charles. He looked smart and kind. He was probably 24 with brown hair and brown eyes. "But he's telling the truth. And we should get you out of here before someone reports you. No one knows you did it but you are not safe."

Cassia looked between the two before nodding. "Alright. Let's go."

The man, Beast said his name was, pulled up to this big manor in the woods.

"This will be your home now Cassia," Charles said. "You ready to meet everyone?"

"I guess."

She steps out and waits for Charles and Raven till she walks in. She's met with a blonde boy probably 20 and a girl with braids who looks about 19.
