My eyes shot open when I hear a blaring noise.

"Warning! This is not a drill! Intruders in the building! Orders are to find the project and protect it!" I look up at the intercom. Why is someone here? That's impossible. I stand up and I walk to the door. It opens and I freeze. The men look around.

"Where the fuck is she?!" I look confused and then I realize it. I'm invisble. To open the door they must have had to deactivate whatever kept me from using my mutation. I hear a slight noise indicating my claws are out. I look at my adamantium claws, then back at the men.

"Did anyone else hear that?"

"She's close."

"Why can't we see her?" I stay still.

"It worked."

"What worked?" The men all turn to see a group of people. I look at the man who asked the question.

"Who the hell are you?" one of the men ask.

"Where is she?" a woman asks ignoring the question. The men all aim their guns.

"Who wants to know?"

The group exchange looks. I start to feel slightly weak. I know I won't be able to keep up being invisble much longer. I close my eyes for a second and then I open than again. No one notices me. I look at the men and I concentrate. They all fall to the ground. I look at the group.

"Help."

Then everything goes black.

I wake up slowly letting a small groan out. I opened my eyes and I looked around to see a woman looking at me. I recognize her as one of the woman from earlier. I move away.

"Hey, hey. I'm not here to hurt you. In Jean. What's your name?" I hesitate.

"C-caitlin." I answer.

"Do you remember anything?" I nod.

"Yeah, I remember a lot from what happened there."

"And what about before?" I tilt my head.

"I've been there my whole life." Jean looks at me.

"I'll be right back I have to go talk to someone, okay?" I just nod in response. She leaves.

About 5 minutes later Jean comes back with an older man in a wheelchair. I sit up as the man approached me.

"Hello, I'm Charles Xavier, Jean has told me what she knows. Do you know why you were taken?"

"Um, yeah, they were experimenting. With different mutation seeing what would happen if a human was injected with mutations." Charles looks shocked.

"And what was the result?" Jean asks.

"I became the ultimate weapon. I got every mutation that I was injected with." Jean and Charles share a look.

"Well, we only have one more question." I look at Charles. "Would like to stay here?"

"What is 'here'?" I ask.

"Its a school for the gifted. Mutants. We help young mutants control their abilities. We can help you get your memory back." Jean explains. I looks confused.

"Memory?"

"You were not in that building for life. You were taken at 5 years old from your family." Jean tells me. I look surprised. Jean shoots Charles a look.

"Would you like to stay?" Charles asks ignoring the look from Jean.

"Is it safe here?" I ask. They both nod. "Okay, I'll stay." they smile.
