Mutant and Proud (A Charles Xavier Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

-Jessica POV-

I get to work with Hank just on time. We both head upstairs but soon enough Hank left me to go talk with Charles and I was stuck in our small dark room alone. Yet again. I sigh and sit down in my chair turning on my computer and my light at my station and start to get to work. I decided that since we will be having many mutants staying here I decide that I should do some one research on what genes in the DNA are changed. I decide to start on myself since I don't really want to go socialize with people. I get out a needle and a small vial. I wrap some wrap around my arm and start to draw some blood. I fill the small vial and take out the needle and put a cotton ball to where it was. I take a small pipet and take a small drop putting it on a glass slide to examine. I put it in under the microscope and look at it. My cells seemed to be normal which was a little confused. I decide that maybe mine was more of an invisible mutation. I heard from hank that there is a girl who is here who can changes faces. Maybe her DNA will be different and I will be able to look at the cells. I get up and put the vial of my blood into the fridge and go to find this girl. I am walking around when I hear Hank laughing with someone. I figure i should go and ask him if he knows where she could be. I turn the corner to see hank having a picnic with a blonde girl who was absolutely beautiful. I don't want to interrupt them so I decide I can just ask him later so I start heading back to the lab. I run into someone and look up to see a man who is pretty handsome. He is blonde and has a pretty good build to him. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I apologize stepping back a little. He smiles a little and looks down at me.

"It's fine, I should be the one apologizing." He says in a sort of flirty tone. I blush a little and look down.

"I haven't seen you here before are you new?" I asks him.

"I'm one of the mutants. I just got fresh out of prison." He says with a smile.

"Oh." I say kinda suprised. "Why if you don't mind me asking." I ask curious on why he would be in jail.

"I put myself in there. I didn't want to hurt anyone. So that was the only way I could think to keep my family safe." He confesses.

"I see." I say looking at him.

"Yeah. You must be the scientist I keep hearing about." He says making me frown a little.

"Why do you figure that?" I ask.

"Well you are wearing a lab jacket. So I just guessed. I'm sorry are you now?" He says not meaning to offend me if he did.

"I am, sorry I just wasn't expecting people to know me." I say with a small smile.

"I would be surprised if they didn't the way Charles described you." He says and I give him a confused look.

"How does he describe me?" I ask curious.

"Well first he said you were beautiful. Which is true. That you were a scientist. Which applies to the only woman wearing a lab coat. " He says. I blush a little.

"Beautiful? That's how he described me?" I ask not believing it. He nods.

"Yeah and I think he underdescribed how beautiful you are." He says with a flirtatious smirk. I blush and look down.

"I should really get back to work. There is a lot of bloodwork to look at." I say walking past him back to my lab. What was with all the men flirting with me? I am really not the pretty. I shake it off and get the vial of my blood back out to do some tests on it. I am in the middle of doing a bunch of tests when I hear someone enter the room. I don't look up from my work and I just keep working.

"How's the work going?" I hear Erik say walking so he is next to me.

"It's fine." You say putting down the tongs you were holding pulling up your glasses to look at him. "Why?"

"No reason. I just thought that I should come and talk to you. See how everything was going. Just being friendly." He says pulling up a seat next to me. I look at him and turn my chair so it is facing him.

"So you decided to come in here to see if everything was going okay?" I say not believing him. He nods and I roll my eyes. "Cut the Bullshit Erik. What do you want?" I say.

He sighs. "You caught me. I came in here to see if you would maybe want to go to lunch with me." He asks with a hopeful look in his eyes. I let out a small sigh and rub my eyes.

"If I say yes will you let me get back to work?" I ask. He grins and nods. "Then yes. What time?" I ask.

"How about one hour? Does that sound okay?" He asks and you nod.

"Yeah that will give me plenty of time to finish these experiments." I say in a professional way.

He grins again and stands up. "Great. I will see you in a hour." He says walking out of the room.

"Yeah see you." You say putting your goggles back on and getting back to work.
