"Who are you!?" you demanded, turning around.
Upon doing so, you froze as you found yourself facing professor Charles Xavier himself! "Do not be alarmed." he told you, calmly, with his physical voice. "I will not harm you."
"I'm more worried about harming you." you said, honestly. "My mutant power allows me to..."
"Manipulate the nervous system of any living being, yes, I know." replied Xavier. "However, my power is more than capable of shielding me from your weaker talent." he then quickly added, "No offense intended."
You shrugged. "None taken." you replied. "I just... don't want to hurt anyone."
"That's good." replied Xavier with a smile. "That means you will not abuse your power later on." he motioned you to follow as his wheelchair moved to his mental command. "This school teaches young mutants like yourself to safely control their powers and make a difference in the world. In your case, your power could be used to restore a person's lost eyesight or hearing by strengthening the nerve responsible for its function."
"Will I be accepted once I learn control?" you asked.
Xavier sighed. "Not likely, the world still fears that which they do not understand." he explained. "However, here you will find acceptance, friendship, and, maybe some romance."
You smiled at Xavier's last comment. "Really, professor?" you asked.
Xavier chuckled. "You never know, Jon." he said. "I have seen stranger things happen in my life." he smiled. "In time, humans and mutants will walk hand in hand but for now, we must do what we can."
"Yes, professor." you said.
Then, a young woman with white hair, wearing flowing white dress, walked into view. "Ah, Storm!" said Xavier, calling her to him. "I would like you to meet our newest student, Jon, he has the mutant ability to manipulate the nervous system of any living being. I am mentally helping him maintain control..."
You turned to Xavier, shocked but he assured you it was for the best before turning back to Storm. "Would you be so kind as to show him to his quarters?"
"Of course." replied Storm. she turned to you kindly. "Come, child, I will take you there now."
You hesitantly took Storm's hand, not wishing anything to happen, and allowed her to take you away. "Oh, Jon." said Xavier, causing you to turn. "Welcome to Xavier's school for the gifted."
You nodded the quietly walked with storm to your new home.
