Wanda

She woke up around 5 in the morning with her heart beating furiously and the worst headache she had experienced. Good thing Carol was a heavy sleeper and didn't even notice.
It was too early to get ready and too late to fall back asleep, besides she didn't want to risk having another nightmare, she hated them, they were always about her getting lost for some reason or hurting someone by accident.

Wanda finally stood up and put on sportswear. As she left her bedroom she noticed no one was up yet, they were all probably hungover from Stark's party
"Jerk" she whispered.
She didn't know him personally but Wanda knew his last name "Stark", that was the last thing she saw before her adoptive parents had disappeared through the floor. That bomb with his name had meant nothing but pain to her, so yeah she hated him.

Through the windows she could see fog surrounding the building, so instead of going outside she tried the library, what she was looking for was a quiet lonely place in where she could practice her Telekinesis, her first practice class was today and she didn't want to do something stupid in front of Professor Xavier, or anyone really.

As she entered she noticed how big it actually was, Wanda wondered if Xavier had actually read all the books, it seemed impossible for her even imagining it.
She walked to the furthest corner of the room and sat down on the cold floor.
Wanda focused her eyes on her hands
"Work with me" she muttered to them

A dim red light became visible, she smiled, she looked over to the stan in front of her and tried to move one of the books, so far it was easy, small things had always been easy for her to move. She flipped the book once or twice before placing it back on its place. After taking a deep breath she decided it was time for a bigger challenge. She moved her hands gracefully with her eyes focused on all of the books, one by one they began to float around her.

"Impressive" a strange voice said

She had been so focused that on that moment she dropped all the books to the floor, even she had to cover her head to not be crushed by them.

He looked ashamed "I am sorry"

Wanda knew it was technically forbidden to be wondering around the place during no class time so she stood up, she had been caught "Sorry"

The guy shook his head "Oh don't worry it was my fault, it was quite impressive though"

She frowned, wasn't he supposed to run and tell Xavier or something?

He noticed her confusion "Oh I'm not going to tell anyone don't worry, I shouldn't even be here either" he took a step closer and offered his hand to help her up

Wanda took it, once they were eye to eye he smiled "I'm Stephen Strange"

She nodded "Wanda Maximoff"

Stephen's eyes lit up "You are the telepath, mutant right?"

Suddenly she realized what Erik had meant, why did everyone have to say the word mutant as if she was some sort of alien?

Stephen kept on talking "If you have any free time soon maybe we could have a little chat, I have always been intrigued by the way a telepath's mind works, I don't like to brag but I am almost certain that if you accept my offer I might be able to help you expand your abilities"

Her gaze darkened "I'll think about it" and with that she left the room.

Stephen frowned, what had he done now? He had tried to be nice, maybe Christine was right, he was a natural jerk.


Loki

During his first year he had almost been expelle, he had really tried to not get in trouble... at least until he got bored and decided to play a few tricks on his perfect brother, he had managed to convince Odin to take away Thor's powers, that lead to be attacked by Thor's friends which was a big mistake, he manipulated Clint Barton into fighting his own friends, Loki figured it would be fun, but apparently Romanoff had found out a way to wake Barton from his trance...and that big freak Banner had technically kicked his ass in front of everyone in school, that when they started being called "The Avengers"
