As I feel the last of my energy start to deplete form my body, and all the
strength I have and could ever muster at this point in time start to leave
me, one final thought runs through my mind. How proud my team members are
going to be for my sacrifice, how sad they will all be after my inevitable
death, and oh not to mention my one true love. The love I never thought I
would find, a love that will live on through him even though my physical
body will be gone, I will live on through him and the love that we share.
But before my story, my life, has to end let me take you through my life
starting with the beginning shall I ?

Hi, my name is Carlos Marine, I'm your average teenage boy. 17 years of
age, half Brazilian and half Black, tall, black messy surfer hair, a dark
and tanned complexion, body of a Greek God, if I do say so myself, and I'm
interested in everything I should be, doing well in school, sport and well
life in general. Oh but one thing, I'm gay ... Oh wait I forgot, I'm also a
mutant. And not just any mutant, but rather powerful one by every one's
reckoning, well whatever ... I just like to think of myself as normal, or
well as normal as a gay mutant can get. Lets just say that when I told my
parents of my newly found revelations they were hardly pleased, my father
an avid church goer and training to become a minister, and my mother a
worldly woman with a lot of prejudice after years of being taught that is
the only way by my, how do I put this politely, overly protective and
completely up their own asses, grandparents. They tried to reason with me,
tried to snap me out of this trance like state they had thought Id fallen
into, not believing that this was the real me that someone had corrupted
me. Telling them to go and fuck themselves, for lack of better wording, I
packed my things and fled my house never to return ...

Somehow, I cant exactly remember if I'm honest with you all, I ended up at
The Xavier Institute, at the time I didn't know it was a safe haven for
mutants and a school in which young mutants learn to control their
powers. So let's just say my sudden awakening ta the school didn't exactly
go as smooth or as planned as any of us would have liked it to of gone
... I suppose this is a good of a place as any to start my story ? ...

--

As my eyes began to slowly open from this unnatural sleep, the first thing
I can sense is this throbbing pain in my head and strangely enough the
sensation of being comfortable, which is something I hardly expected after
living on the streets the past week and a half. With sudden realisation
that I have no idea where I am my survival instincts kick in and with my
eyes now fully open I jump out of bed, at the same time ripping the IVs out
of my arms, only for them to heal within a second, but regardless OUCH. I'm
sure I must of looked a state to all that had saw me in a hospital gown,
snarling wide eyes at the people that were in what appeared an isolated
hospital/medicine room made out of pure silver metal. Two people, one
sitting and one standing, stood the other side of the room to me just
watching, perhaps they hadn't encountered a mutant before ? Or perhaps they
were too scared to even move ? ...

The sitting woman was beautiful beyond measure with white hair, a chocolate
brown complexion and a kind face, while the standing woman a vibrant
redhead with green eyes that appear to be able to melt any man on queue,
well any straight man anyways. As the red headed woman began to approach me
all that ran through my mind was the need for protection so by instinct I
picked up a tray of medical equipment and threw it at the woman, hoping the
distraction would give me a chance to escape and to return to the streets
... But before I could move the equipment stopped dead in the air, and were
set back in place with the red headed woman just watching the equipment do
this.

" H-How -- did you do that ... " Barely able to speak due to the shock of
what I had just seen, that was all I could muster at this point in time.

The white haired woman finally stood up from her chair and came to stand
next to the red headed woman, just staring at her until with a nod the red
head left the room through a giant door with an X across it which I had
failed to see previously. Now looking at me the remaining woman said to me,

" Hello Carlos, my name is Ororo Munroe, and the woman who has just left is
Jean Grey. We are mutants much like yourself, and you're at The Xavier
Institute For Higher Learning, we are a school dedicated to training and
protecting any and all mutants in need of our aid, especially young people
such as yourself. " Speaking with perfect clarity and in such a manner she
could charm the President into letting her run the country for him, I was
still shocked.

" Oh, ummm, okay " Was all I could muster as my brain had gone into some
form of shut down where all I could do was think, well and string together
barely coherent sentences. " What happened, how did I get here ? "

" Perhaps you would be more comfortable laying back down Carlos. I will
explain everything momentarily. " Helping me into getting back into to bed,
I hadn't realised how tired I actually was until now. " As you know my name
is Ororo, but what you do not know is I am a member of The X-Men. I'm sure
you have heard of us ... " I had, on the news, they were superheroes or
something like that. " My codename, if you will, is Storm as I have the
ability to manipulate all aspects of the weather. We brought you here after
your mutant abilities flared out of control in the middle of the street,
thankfully some of us were eon hand to help you get back here safe. You
fell unconscious, but no damage was done to you. "

" Oh thank you, I err guess. " I was still a little dazed, but gradually
things were starting to make more and more sense in my mind. And then the
giant door reopened ... Revealed the woman I now know as Jean Grey and a
bald man in a wheelchair, making their way over to me, both smiling. " I'm
sorry for ermmm throwing those at you. " Gesturing with my hands to the
equipment only an arms length away from me.

" Oh, don't worry about it, no one was harmed. " She said with a little
laugh and smile, only for me to smile back at her. It was hard not to smile
at her, she just had that IT factor which made her likable. " I take it
Ororo has informed you on where you are. This man next to me is Professor
Charles Xavier, he wishes to talk with you. But if it makes you feel more
comfortable both Ororo and I will leave yo-- ... "

" NO ! ... Sorry, please don't leave. I'm still a little confused "I
managed to say with a weak smile. So we all settled down, using her ability
again Jean made two chairs fly next to my bed where her and Ororo sat.

" Hello Carlos, as you know I am Charles Xavier. I am the founder of this
place, and the keeper of peace between these school walls. " He said with a
broad smile across his face, this was a good man, I could tell. " And as
your probably already know you have been brought here for sanctuary and
also for you to learn about your powers and how to further develop
them. Like many of our students here you were found as a runaway homeless
on the streets, and I hope you do not mind but I had to read your recent
memories in order to determine who you were, which is why we know your
name. We also know that you have nowhere else to go, and this is an option
for you. A pretty fine option if I do say so myself. Now why don't you tell
me about your powers Carlos ? "

Starting to feel more and more comfortable with the three adult mutants
around me, I didn't even bother to care about him reading my mind. " Well
to my knowledge I have a couple of different powers. I can fly pretty fast
and high, can create fire, my tears also heal any injury that I have and I
can also read people's thoughts and sometimes if I concentrate enough on a
small object it can explode. I did some research before I had to leave my
parents behind, and most of my powers are linked to a bird in legends, a
phoenix. " After I had finished talking a slight look of dismay had begun
to spread across Jean's face, but overlooking that I smiled at the
professor, feeling good about being able to talk openly about my mutant
nature with someone else so understanding.

" Wow. That is quite an impressive list of powers for any one person to
possess Carlos, a powerful mutant you indeed are. Now I have two final
questions for you. Would you like to stay at here at my school ? " With an
enthusiastic smile and nod from me the Professor continued "And the last
question, do you feel well enough to be escorted to your own room ? " With
another nod from me. Everyone started moving and everything started to
happen ever so quickly. Charles and Jean left the room, once again leaving
Ororo and I the only people here. Telling me that she would wait outside
while I got changed into more decent clothes which had been left for me in
the cabinet next to my bed, she left the room. I got changed into these
brand new, wonderful clothes, and quickly left the room to find Ororo next
to an elevator. As we both entered the elevator she began to talk to me.

" So Carlos. How do you think you will like Xavier's ? " By this time the
elevator had stopped and we had begun to walk down a wonderfully eccentric
corridor. With high ceiling, wide wooden walls and full of antiques, you
could definitely tell this is a place form people with a lot of money.

" I'm not too sure to be honest with you. " We'll see how we go, I mean
nothing could be worse that my former home life anyways ...
