X-men's New Mutant (Marvel story)

New mutant

"The professor said he hasn't seen her before.." A woman said with a gentle voice,

"What do you mean he's never seen her before?! He's the professor her can see every mutant!" A man said with a less gentle voice.

I opened my eyes looking around studying my surroundings, I squinted as I realized to my left was a very bright light. Left blind for a few seconds I closed my eyes and opened the to let them refocus. I saw to my right a man and woman speaking, they are whom I assume was talking before. I tried my best to sit up and get off the cold metal table I was laying on but realized I couldn't- restraints..

"What the hell, get these things off of me!" I yelled as I looked down at the leather straps that trailed over from the left side of my body to the right side at different levels of my body. I tried once more to free myself before I felt a sympathetic hand being placed upon my arm.

"I'm glad you're awake, Jane Doe." The woman said, I studied her features before speaking. She had long red hair that cascaded over her face slightly. Her nose pointed and her kind greens eyes piercing right through me.

I spoke through my teeth that were clenched shut, "That's not my name and let me go." I said barley audible.

"Sure okay just tell us what your mutant powers are and who you are." The man said, doing the same with the woman I noticed his features slightly resembled an animals, I couldn't quite put my finger on it out I'm pretty sure her looked like a wolverine. His hair spiked up slightly on the top left and right side of his hair. He was very muscular and very vein-y.

"That's none of your business, now let me go home and we'll all forget about each other. Okay?" I said slightly sarcastic and annoyed.

I kept trying to get out of the restraints, I slowly shut my eyes and suddenly remembered. My powers. I knew they were there and I knew how to control them but the problem was it seemed that I had more than one.. My eyes remaining shut I tried to use my powers to set me free but it didn't work.

"So you know you're a mutant.." The woman spoke again. Damn, she reads minds.. That's just great. I said to myself.

I finally gave in I was tired of them and just wanted to go as soon as possible. "Yes, now tell me what the heck did you do to my powers!"

The man chuckled "She took them away, you'll get them back in a few hours." He said answering my question. "Hey how come you answer her and not me?" He said pointing over to the other woman.

"Because she doesn't look like she crawled out of the forest." I said giving his a sarcastic look,

"Sweetheart can you just tell us who you are?" The woman spoke again but firmly but kindly.

"Tell me who you are first." I shot back at her, "and unstrap me!" I looked back at the restraints as I wiggled my body making the metal buckles make noise.

"My name is Jean Grey," The woman spoke as she unbuckled the metal buckles that contained me to the table. "I work here at The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, along with Logan here." She said nodding towards the wolf dude as she went on to the next buckle. "Logan doesn't necessarily work here but he's around quite often." She said as she finished the last buckle.

I sat up feeling a sudden surge run through my body, I knew this feeling very well. They were back.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I best be going now." I said as I hopped off the metal table and sprinting as fast as lighting through the halls of the unknown school. Why are there so many damn hallways? I thought in my head, I continued running around still lost. I somehow made my way back to the lab area where I was before, I stepped in to see the man in woman still in shock about what just happened.

"Damn it how did I end up here again?" I said out loud, I had just turned back around to run again when I heard an unfamiliar voice speak.

"Wait my dear child, we can help you." His voice was calm and soothing, it sounded trustworthy and that's what really got me.

I turned around to see an old man sitting in a wheelchair smiling. He started to make his way over when I started to step back, I didn't want to find out what his powers were. He noticed my movement and stopped, he gave another welcoming smile before I spoke.

"I don't need help." I spat at him a bit angry that he thought I actually needed help, I was normal and didn't need help. I'm just different, that's all.

"Then why are you here?" He said his smile still resting upon his face. Damn he was good at come backs! My thoughts were interrupted by him speaking again.

"Don't worry you can trust us." The man whom I now assumed was probably the professor extended his hand out to me.

Without think I placed my hand gently and a bit unwillingly onto his. He led me back over to the table where Jean was and he had me sit down on it.

"Just answer Jean's simple questions and then you can go home, alright?" His voice calmed me a little to be honest, so I spoke:

"Alright." I looked over at Jean who was now smiling and looking down at her clipboard. She started off simple with,

"How old are you?" As she asked the questions I watched as the Professor and Logan stepped further back in the room, I used my powers to hear what they were saying and I regretted as soon as I heard their conversation.

"Why would you say that?" Logan whispered/yelled at the professor.

"Now if I told her the truth than do you really think she would have agreed?" The professor said calmly back

"Then when and how do you plan on tell her, huh?" Logan shot back

"I don't know." The professor sounded uneasy as he said his answer.

"I mean you can't just go up to her and say 'Hey there! You know you're a mutants and that's great and did we mentions that you are a homeless orphan?'." Logan spoke a bit loud which got a "shush" from the professor.

Stunned and not knowing what else to do Jean finally came up with a question that really stumped me,

"Who are you?" Jean asked carefully as if I were a fragile butterfly.

I answered back with the only answer I had for that question.

"I don't know..."
