The Special Ones

Chapter 2

"W-what?" I stutter. "Who a-are you?"

The bald guy smiles. "My name is Charles Xavier." He has a British accent. His voice and deep and rich with confidence. "I am here to help you. All of you, edon't know it but you are mutants. Everyone else in this room and in fact, the entire school is on a time freeze except for the mutants. "

"What?!" Jake and I yell at the same time.

Charles nods. "A few of you haven't discovered your capabilities yet but you have them."

"I-I can't be a mutant. My father, do you even know who he is?"

"I do. But you cannot help being who you are. That goes for the four of you. As for Kristen and Jake, it is better off for your parents not to know. Now you are going to have to make a decision. Magneto is on his way with his army at this very moment. If you don't decide now, it may be too late."

"And if we don't come with you?" Logan asks. Eyeing the man carefully.

"Then magneto will come and try to prusuade you into joining with him. If you refuse that then it's the end of the line," the man who we saw first spoke.

"What's so bad about this Magneto guy?" I ask.

"He'll manipulate you as his own weapon. Maybe even use you as his shield. He's a cowardly bastard who only care for himself. So once you refuse, he'll send you off to the streets.

Kelly will come and take you. He'll send you to one of his camps where they take hostage of mutants and try to drain them of their power."

The three of us look at Jake, confusion is hinted in his eyes. "What are you talking about? The camps my father runs are solely to help mutants. He's told me that my entire life. He said that mutants are trying to take over the world. That they will take our families."

The man sighed,"Jake, Kristen your parents have lied to you. The Senator only wants to get rid of us because we are not like them. Nothing else. You may not want to believe it but you need to. This is the way it is. Now you can come with us or you can let yourself be tortured by the humans."

"But we are human!" Logan exclaims. "And this is all some big mistake."

The man scoffs. "You can think that it is but Professor X here is a telepath. He can read your minds. He knew who y'all were before he even stepped into the classroom. He's the one doing the time freeze. Now we'll answer all your questions when we get to the hovercraft. Understand?"

The four of us look at each other before nodding.

"Good."

We slowly walk out of classroom. We step into the hall, I make eye contact with some golden ones.

Dustin.

My heart starts to skip. He's coming too! I resist the urge to jump up and down. I look to the side and see Mr. Xavier smiling at me he shakes his head and zooms past us in his wheelchair.

As calmly as I can, I walk to where the goggle dude is leading us. We walk up to a girl with red hair. She smiles sweetly at us.

"Why are you taking us?" Logan says trying to hide his anger.

She just smiles back at him,"You, Logan, will find out sooner or later."

"Wait! How did you know what his name was?" I asked quickly.

"The same way I know yours Kris, or should I say Kristen. Which name do you prefer."

"Kristen is my real name. Everyone just calls me Kris."

"You'll be getting a different name soon. Everyone will call you by that if you choose to stay with us." the guy with the goggles walks up to us.

And with that, I am lifted into the air. I start screaming. "WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?" The red haired girl is in a weird position her eyes are closed as if she's concentrating. I look down and I'm standing on a reddish-pinkish circle that kinda transparent. I'm flying 3 stories high. There in front of me is a giant hovercraft. It's black but it looks freaking cool!

Then, I'm falling. I start to scream, but I stop when someone grabs onto my arms. I look up suddenly and see a man's face. He blonde and has beautiful blue eyes.

How the heck is he doing this?

Suddenly, behind his head, I see wings. They look like angels wings. But they are moving as if they are trying to fly. But he's flying and carrying me. Although during this time he's been carrying me bridal style. (What do you call that?).

"You have wings?!" I ask/yell.

He chuckles "Yes I do."

"Oh my gosh. This is not happening." I whisper mostly to my self.

He smiles. "It's okay. You get used to it."

He looks forward and calls out,"Hey Storm! Think you can take her? There are some more I need to help Jean out with." I look in the same direction and my jaw drops.

In front of me and an African American girl with white hair. I'm not joking, her hair is white. I noticed its a lot windier here than before. But she's flying! She nods and her eyes turn white. I shriek once more as he drops me. But once again, I'm floating. Her arms outstretched to me. I'm moving quickly towards the hovercraft.

Finally, I'm there. I catch my breath.

"Welcome aboard!" A girl with a southern accent greets me. Her hair is auburn but I noticed it has a white streak. She shakes my hand but instead of feeling skin, I feel cloth. Looking down, I notice she's wearing gloves.

She smiles brightly at me. "I'm Rouge!"

"Kristen."

"Nice to meet ya!" She let's go of my hand and directs me to a seat. When I sit down, it automatically locks me in so I can't get up.

I look around. There are already plenty of people on here. I suddenly see Jake's green eyes lock with mine. He looks angry, confused, and scared. I'm pretty sure the rest of us share the same look.

I scan my eyes over the faces in hope to find Sarah. I finally see her blue eyes and blonde hair two rows behind me. I smile at her and she returns it.

"Hey!"

I look up and a boy about my age stands in front of me.

"Hello."

"Sorry for kinda freaking you all out but we had to do this as quickly as we could. Poor Charles. He must be so worn out from all this. Anyway. Jean told me what your questions were so ill answer them. We didn't land because there isn't enough room to. And how did we get Charles over there. Well that why we have Jean, Angel, and Storm. We're flying in a different hovercraft so there will be room." He stretches his arm out to shake my hand,"The name is Bobby."

I take it,"Kristen. But everyone calls me Kris."

"Well it us certainly a pleasure to meet you." he kisses my hand but I notice his breath is cold. Not just warmish cold but, icy cold. I can feel my face turn red and he smiles.

He is blonde. And I must say, he's quite the looker. His suit is bright blue with a dark "X" in his chest. A flawless smile that shows off his perfect white teeth. But what gets me is his eyes. They are a clear, crystal blue. I can feel goosebumps up my arms just by looking at them.

Suddenly the room is silent. Bobby smiles one last time at me before going to the front. A big, hairy man with black hair steps on. He is wearing a black suit with an "X" on the front. Everyone else is on including Charles Xavier. The man has a grim look about him.

He speaks in a low, hoarse voice,

"Welcome Mutants. We've been waiting for you."
