What Charles and Erik - they told me not to call them by their last names - didn't tell me it's that we are working by the CIA.
Apparently I was the last mutant to be recruited, so they told me most of them, actually all except one, were teenagers, like me; I think I got to excited in the car by meeting them, that I accidentally made exploit the doors lights and the battery of the car.

"Oh my God!" I said putting my hands in my checks, I was worried, I didn't know that was going to happen "I'm really, really sorry" I said ashamed, I closed my eyes while Erik was checking the battery.

"Well, it suffered a electric shock" he said looking at me "to much electricity by a small battery" he said amused, I looked down, embarrassed, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ..... Great! I lost it, again!' I thought to myself, the first ashamed and then angry to my last statement, 'what would happened if I hurt someone, or worse, kill-' I couldn't end that thought because I got cut of by Charles's voice in my head.

'No one got hurt, Kat, don't think like that, I don't think you'll be able to do such a thing'

I looked at him and thought to him 'you didn't see when I got a lightning hurt a girl at school, she got a third degree burn, you weren't there, I could kill her' he just shook his head and looked at me

"But you didn't" it was his response before Erik came to us.

"Well, it's not use, it's a deep burn" he looked at me, I just looked down and started thinking, there have to be a way to make the car move on, I looked up and walked towards the car, straight to the battery, I watched carefully, it was pretty burn, I took a deep breath and put my hand in it, I could sense electricity in it, I grinned and put my hand off and looked towards them, Erik was watching me curiously while Charles's face light up while reading my thoughts, he walked towards Erik and grabbed his arm

"That's an excellent idea, Kat" he said smiling and looking at me, I could see he was excited, an then he looked to Erik "Katerina, sensed electricity in the battery, if she uses her ability in it, we can turn on the car" I glare at him when he said my full name, he just smiled and kept looking at Erik, he looked at me and frowned slightly but nodded.

"Are you sure?" He asked me, I nodded and we headed to the car, Erik in the driver seat, Charles next to him an me in the back. I peeked my head between them and put my hand in front of me, I closed my eyes for a second trying to focus in all my energy, when I did it, I opened my eyes and saw my hand, it was brighting a light blue, I took a deep breath and concentrated in the battery, in the energy I felt coming from it, I saw small lighting coming out form my hand and going through the car, my gaze snapped towards the ignition and put my other hand in front of it, by now I could feel my eyes brighting a electrical blue, when I put my hand, another lightning came from it, and went to the ignition, the car turn on and all the lights of it started to light and flickering, I was losing control of it, Charles grabbed my head and made my look at him

"Kat, look at me, you are losing it, don't let it control you, you are strong than this"

Slowly, I lowered my left hand -the one in the ignition- and Erik, I think he put his hand in the steering wheel and made the car start, we were headed to the CIA Headquarters, I think, while Charles was in my head calming me down, I took a deep breath and I could feel everything going back to normal, except the engine, that with the help of Charles I manage to keep it in tracks.

When we arrived, the engine and the battery died, and this time I couldn't sense more electricity coming from it, I felt great getting out of that car, my energy coming back and Charles literally 'out of my mind' ... Well it's obvious he's reading my thoughts right now, to confirm I looked at him, he just gave me an amused smile, I returned it rolling my eyes and looked at the building, I felt a little scared, I mean, this guys could easily arrest me for being a mutant, as soon as that thought came, I regret it, Charles being who he is, looked at me giving me a reassuring smile, 'nothing's going to happen, Kat, you are save here'
I felt a little better after that and I was shown to my CIA room, to get settle, and after getting a good look at it, I decided that I wanted to meet the other mutants, so I got up and left the room, not before receiving a telepathic advise from Charles telling me he and Erik had to go, I rolled my eyes from the way of the advise and after a little while of getting lost making twist, turn the halls, wanting to ask for directions and regretted it, I found the REC room and stepped in, it was full of young adult mutants, or that's what I thought they were.

At the moment I stepped in, all their heads turn to the door open, I just looked at them shyly biting my lip and letting out a shyly wave, they smiled at me and waved back more enthusiastic than me, I giggled and make my way towards them. A blonde girl had a big smile motioned me to go sit with her.

I took a sit next her and looked around meeting everyone's faces closely for the first time, they were other 5 mutants including the blonde haired girl: 2 colored people, a man, the one they told me it was the only adult, and a girl, a blond guy and a ginger one, and finally the last one, he was sitting next to the blond girl that invited me sit with her, he looked shy and a kind of nerd, like Charles, but something tells me he was more than Charles, he was looking at the ground avoiding eye contact with everyone.

"I'm Raven" the blonde girl said to me cheerfully, I nodded smiling and then motioned her to continue, "She is Angel" she pointed to the colored girl, I smiled at her, and she returned it

"that's Darwin" she then pointed to the colored male, I smiled polite nodding my head to him and he laughed slightly

"Alex" she looked at the blonde guy, He just looked at me and wave slightly, I returned the wave and looked at Raven again

"this is Sean" She pointed to Ginger guy, he smirked at me and winked, Raven seeing that, whispered at me "don't go to near him, he flirt with everything it moves" I just giggled and looked at him, he frowned slightly and I smiled innocently at him, he just shrugged off it and smirked at me again, I rolled my eyes smiling and continued to look at Raven to introduce me to the nerdy shy guy

"And finally Hank" he looked up at the mention of his name and waved shyly, I smiled at him and everyone in the room, not shyly anymore.

"I'm Katerina, Kat if you please, or I'll kill you" I said smiling, I got replies of 'hi' of everyone and a sarcastic comment from Sean, I rolled my eyes, but anyway I felt safe with them, if they are mutants, oh, geez, Kat, of course they are, well, I guess they won't judge me for my hair and eyes, I just hope they don't, or it won't end well, I snapped away from my thoughts from Raven, just looking at her I could see she was a good friend, we talk a little and then I moved to Angel, she told me that she worked at a striped club, of course I never judged her, I could tell she was glad about it, then I went to talk to Darwin, Sean and Alex, they were playing in a foosball table soccer I got from them that Darwin was Taxi Driver when Erik And Charles found him, Alex was in isolated cell, he was in Jail, because he was afraid of his ability, let's say I understand him, and Sean was trying to date a girl in an Aquarium when Erik and Charles found him, I rolled my eyes at him, but then burst of laughing because of that, we chatted and I told them about me, after a while, in a middle of a conversation I finally got out from Hank, Raven cried out in a 'eureka' moment

"We should think of code names" she said over excitedly like a small kid on Christmas morning. "We're government agents now; we should have secret code names. I want to be Mystique" she smiled and I giggled.

Then suddenly Sean cried out in a monotone voice "Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique" we all chuckled, and I looked at Raven, waiting for her smart back response, she smirked and then some blue scales travel to her body, form her toe to her head, changing her appearance next to Hank to look like Sean. We all gasped.

"Well, though. I called it" Raven said smirking in Sean form "and I'm way more mysterious than you" she replied returning to her normal form, we all clapped at her and I started to think that I'll fit just well in here.

"Darwin, what about you?" Raven questioned him

"Well, 'Darwin' is already a nickname, and you know, it sort of fits. Adapt to survive and all" he replied getting up and going to a fish bowl, he dunked his head in it and his face changed to have grills like a fish. He began to breath and smiled at us opening wide his mouth, as he removed his head out of water, the grills disappeared from his face and we all stared to clap again "what about you?" Darwin asked pointing to Sean

Sean rubbed his hands together before saying "I'm going to be...." He trailed of looking at us, tiling his head a little "Banshee"

Hank and I raised our eyebrows, I smiled at him and Hank asked him "why do you want to be named after a wailing spirit?"

Sean stood up and spoke to all of us "You may want to cover your ears" we all looked around shocked then we placed our hands to our ears with questioning looks on our faces.
Sean took a deep breath in before releasing a high pitched screech causing the window of the REC room to smash. We all looked at the shattered glass shocked before all clapping again "Your turn" he said pointing to Angel

Angel had a coy smile on her face, she stood up and shrugged her leather jacket off her shoulders "My stage name is Angel. It kind of fits" when Angel turned her back to us, her tattoos sprouted in two wings you'd see on a butterfly.

"You can fly?" Raven exclaimed at her while I was speechless to her wings, I was grinning to her, I looked at Raven and smiled at her, she returned it

Angel turned to us and continued speaking "uh-huh, and..." She leant down a little bit and spat out into the air releasing a fire spit ball type thing. We all began to clap again "what's your name?" she asked nodding her head at Hank, whilst she slipped her coat back on.

Hank looked down shyly, Alex pulled a funny face then said "how about big-foot?" I looked shocked at him, by the way he said it, I could see Raven expressing the same than Me, and looked Hank in the corner of my eye looking a little sad at what Alex said.

"You know what they say about guys with big feet" Raven began, I knew what she was going to do, so I finished to make Hank see I don't care what is his mutation.

"And yours are kind of small" I finished smirking slightly, pleased with myself; I looked at Hank to see he had a shocked expression on his face. I smiled and winked at him, he blushed a little before turning his head away.

We all sat in a comfortable silence for a few seconds, looking at each other, until Sean leaned in front of me smirking slightly, I gulped a little nervous, because I knew I was the next "so, your turn ....." I looked away quickly and pretended I didn't listened to him, by the corner of my eye I could see everyone turning their heads to look at me and Sean smirk grew wider "yes, darling, I'm talking to you" he finished pointing at me, I released a breath I didn't know I was holding and looked at him "what's your mutation?" They looked at me expectantly, I looked down for a second before looking up, they were still watching me, I groaned and looked at them

"No, it's dangerous" I said fearing I could lose control again and this time hurt someone

"Uh-no, you have to show it, what about outside, the window it's shattered, what more damage can you do?" Sean replied to me with raised eyebrows, I rolled my eyes at him and stood up, they smiled at me and I glared playfully at them before making my way to the window, before making my way out, I turned to them and put my hand to my head, where I'm wearing my black haired wig.

"Before showing you my ability, I want to know you won't make fun of me because of my appearance" I said hopefully to them, they looked confused but nodded slowly, I nodded to myself and looked down before grabbed the wig and shrugged of my head, making my blue wavy hair fall to my shoulders, I waited for a second and send my hands towards my eyes, putting my contact Lenses off, showing my electric blue eyes, I blink a couple of times and looked up, they were watching me, with a expression I couldn't decipher, I bit my lip and closed my eyes waiting for the worse, but it never came

"You look beautiful, Kat" I heard Raven speak softly, so I opened my eyes and snapped my gaze towards her, she was smiling at me, well, everyone was, except Sean, he was smirking at me, with a grin.

"Well, we could call you blue" Sean said, I shook my head at him and frowned

"You haven't seen my power, Banshee" I replied to him, remarking his code name, he narrowed his eyes and made a motion to continue

"Well, what you are waiting for?" was his response, I rolled my eyes and looked to the window,

"Hmm" I hummed thoughtfully "I'll do it in here, but" I said to them but I hold up a finger, and pointed at them "when you feel I'm losing control, distract me, it always work" I said sternly to them, they nodded and I looked around, outside it was a statue, I smirked looking at it, and put my hand in front of me, I took a deep breath and focused in a lighting, my eyes brighten blue and small lighting came out of my hand before accumulate in the center of it, I released my breath and pointed in the chest of the statue, suddenly a big lighting came out of my hand and hit the statue, making a small hole in were the chest supposed to be, I smiled and looked to see the others looking between me and the statue in awe.

"What?" I asked grinning to myself, "never seen a girl throwing lighting?" I asked amused, and laughing lightly, they shook their heads, "well, that's what I can do" I replied siting down next to Angel

"You could control yourself fine" Darwin said, "you said you lose control" I looked down for a moment before answer

"It's because I just focused in one thing, you'd see, a lighting it's electricity, I can control all kind of electricity, and sometimes, I lose control, did you hear about the blackout of Illinois?" I asked, they seemed to think but then their eyes widen, I send them a small embarrassed smile

"No way, it was you?" Hank questioned me, I nodded at him

"Yeah, it was, um, a little distraction, I was studying by my biology exam, and well, I lost control, at first I thought it was only in my house, but then, I discovered it was in half Illinois, so yeah, my fault" I said quietly, and looked at them.

"Ashni!" Raven shouted after a couple of seconds of silence, I flinched by the sound of her excited voice, but I smiled at the name

"What's that mean?" Alex asked, I looked at him and smiled a small smile

"It means lighting, I like it" I said smiling, my eyes flicked a electrical blue, I blinked and disappeared "but that's enough, you know what I can do, now, um, who's next?" I asked looking at Alex, because he was the only one left, who hasn't show his gift

"Alex, what is your gift? what can you do?" Darwin questioned Alex

It's not...." Alex began looking at the floor rubbing his head "I just can't do it. I can'-" I cut him of "uh-no, I said the same, yo can do it out there, as I did" I pointed to the shattered window.

As Alex didn't do anything I smiled and looked at everyone and nodded at them and we began to chant 'ALEX, ALEX!' To cheer him on. In the end he broke down and goes up heading outside. We all cheered as he jumped over the wall. "Get down when I tell you" Alex said in a strong firm voice. We all gather by the window, looking out at Alex who was standing the courtyard.

"Get back" he told us as all of us peep out of the window leaning towards him, we did and we reappear making him sigh "GET BACK!" He yelled at us, but we didn't move, he sigh and rolled his eyes and said "wherever"

At this point we were staring at Alex an he rolls his hips on a clock-wise way then produces two rays which slice the statue I hit in the chest in half. We still inside duck a little looking amazed at Alex, who had just destroyed half the courtyard. We all begin to clap looking at Alex with wide eyes exclaiming.

When he entered I looked at him grinning, "yay! We are a danger to everyone" I said excited putting my hand up to high-five at him, but he just glared at me and I realized what I said "Oops, it's not a matter to be excited about, right?" I asked him shyly lowering slowly my hand down, he just shook his head amused at me and everyone laughed.

After that said, and everyone showed off about our powers, we had chosen to make a party, cracking out the Russian Vodka.
In the middle of the party, I think we manage to get drunk because Hank was hanging off the lights, I decided to flick a little making it look like a Dancing floor, or that's what I thought, Raven was on the sofa dancing 'hippy hippy shake' Angel was flying around the room and I was with Alex and Sean beating Darwin's transforms back with random items from the roof, Alex somehow found a chair, he lifted up and whacked Darwin straight on the back, I just burst of laughing when he fell to the floor, I shook my head and headed to Raven a jump to the sofa, and stared dancing with her controlling the lights, flickering them on and of with a flick of my fingers, we were laughing and having so much fun

"What are you doing?" Suddenly exclaimed some C.I.A lady, I met when she welcomed me to the C.I.A base

We all stop partying and turned to see the three 'adults' in charge of us standing by the now broken window starring at us in disbelief. Charles was standing with his hands in his pockets looking ashamed, Erik looked at my blue hair and eyes for a moment grinning, but then frowned when he saw a small intensity in the lights, I looked up and with a small movement of wrist the light gain secretly more intensity, then miss C.I.A stood with her hands on her hips like my mom would when she got angry at me. Hank jumped down form the lamp, Raven next to me got of the sofa and grabbed my arm to put me down, because somehow I stayed froze with the C.I.A agent in Front of us looking angry, Angel landed back on the ground and they all gathered around the glassless window.

"Who destroyed the statue?" The agent said pointing to the now broken statue, I giggled at little, freeing myself from my frozen state.

"Alex and Kat" Hank said quickly. We all looked at him annoyed by him turning us in, I looked at Alex for help, but he looked at with same face and we look at the agent

"No, Havok. We have to call him Havok. That's his name, and we agreed her name was Ashni" Raven finished looking back at the three at the glassless window, I smiled at her for defending us, and then she pointed to Charles "and we were thinking, you should be professor X" then she pointed to Erik "and you should be magneto"

Erik looked at Raven and in monotone said "Exceptional"
Then turned and left with the C.I.A woman. Charles looked at Raven and all us in disgust, but then looked at my appearance and grinned a little before looking at us in disgust again

"I expected more from you" he said sadly and then left us to wallow in self pity

Raven watched Charles leave sadly, the rest of us began to clean up the mess we caused. Somehow my drunk state was now whore out, and I felt better than I used to a little while ago, I wasn't dizzy by the alcohol, I shrugged it off and continue helping grabbing some cups from the floor, and then I saw my wig in the floor and some sunglasses there, I frowned and grabbed the sunglasses and put them on, I turned around when I grabbed my wig and saw that everyone was looking at me, I made a face at them and grabbed my hair up and put the wig, I sigh and continued helping Raven, she gave me a small sad smile, that I returned it, but a reassuring one and put her in a hug

"Everything will be fine, mystique" I told her using her code name, she broke the hug and grinned at me and pulled me into another one

"Thanks, Ashni" she replied to me, I smiled and broke the hug, we smiled at each other and then continued to clean up.

After all, I was right, none of them judged me of what I look like and what I can do, I just met them and now I see them as a family. And we have our code names for each other, and I like to say, that I like mine.....

ASHNI
