Marie shaded her eyes from the glaing sun as she looked up at the building - mansion, she reminded herself - that was to be her home. It was definintely nothing like she was used to anyway. Everything about the place was clean, and well-kept, yet at the same time was lively and welcoming.
This is a place for mutants? For people like me? she thought as she looked around, it was nothing like she had expected. But then she knew nothing about them, knew nothing about herself... what she was... No! Not going there! she took a few deep, calming breaths, then entered, through the massive wooden door.
"Wow! This place is great!" She span around, dropping her luggage, which was a tniy suitcase. Everything was just as clean and well-kept inside, and everything looked normal, but to Marie it was brilliant. She ran round the main entrance, trying to take everything in.
Then she stopped. "But... but where is everyone?" She thought aloud. She became increasingly worried. Maybe she wasn't meant to be here, maybe she wasn't a... a mutant... maybe she was something different, and the people who lived here would send her back... back to them. her so-called parents.

Hearing what sounded like a new voice coming from the foyer, Torri lifted herself from her seat and walked out of the rec room to seek out the source. After the new little alpha boy she had went to watch a bit of television on the large couch. She had a wee bit of thinking to do before she could settle again. Having been moved to a different team - as seemed to be something of a pattern recently - it gave her a bit of an idea on how she was expected to behave here.
"I'm here?" She said out loud, looking at what was more than likely another new student. She didn't look too old so it wasn't like she was college level. Plus, most of the college kids knew their way around here pretty well. "I'm Torri." She said, hanging onto the door style lightly as she half hid behind it. Just cause she was an alpha didn't stop her being shy around new people.

Marie started, and span around to see where the new voice was coming from. She blushed when she saw a girl staring at her. She pointed behind, at the place where she had just been dancing (well, flailing her arms) and said "i was just... umm... ya know what? It doesn't matter." She smiled brightly. 'Wow. Great first impression, Marie. Way ta go!' She thought sarcastically.
"Oh... Hi, Torri, was it? I'm Marie, of erm... Alpha Squadron..." Her voice trailed off. "I'm new, as you can probably tell, and I have absolutely no idea where I'm meant ta be." Marie looked over the girl. She took a hesitant step forward to get a closer look at her, she was almost hiding, half behind the door frame. She hoped she hadn't scared her, running round the place like an idiot.
Marie glanced around her, there were many different sounds to be heard throughout the place. From the direction Torri had came from she could hear the faint rumble of a television. At least now she knew what to do with her time. From up above she heard the thud of footsteps, and from of to one side she smelt a faint aroma of cooking. She looked back at Torri, and shyly said, "Can you... Would you please show me around?" She looked at Torri hopefully.

Smile widening brightly the tiny blonde stepped out from behind the door and giggled a little. 'Another alpha? She doesn't look too young. Thank the lord, someone to talk to!' she thought eagerly. "Aye, i see." She laughed, shaking her head a little and looking up at the taller girl. "I'm in the Alphas too, you're gonna love it!" The beaming smile was really of relief that there was someone on her own team that didn't make her feel like she was far too old and just someone brought down a level. Now she felt alright.
"Show you around? Aye, I ca do that. As long as you don't mind being surrounded by all the kids who aren't in class. It's art, but not everyone will be there." Torri explained with a short nod of her head. Oh how happy she was about Marie being an Alpha student! "We're the youngest group in the school, there are the combat level groups, I was in the Acolytes before I went down to the Alphas. But there are some real nice people in the groups. Plus, there are college students too, so it's a little weird having eight and nine year olds in the same school as twenty odd year olds. But you get used to it."
"Uh, mind me asking? Whats your power? I like asking people what they can do; It's interesting seeing what other gifts people have." She asked with a little tilt of her head, her grin creeping back into a gentle smile.

Marie smiled brightly at Torri as she stepped forward from behind the door. Her smile grew when she heard her say she was in Alpha too. Great! I was getting kinda nervous 'bout this place. Now I have someone ta talk ta!
"Thanks, I appreciate it! I always get lost, even in places I always go ta!," she laughed. "This place is getting better by the second, I love art! Though all these groups will be really confusing... I mean I only recently found out I was a mutant... And I'm really nervous!" Marie's voice sped up and she blurted out the last part. She turned red. She didn't know why she had said that, but she just felt relaxed round the other girl. She was really glad they were in the same 'group'.
She smiled slightly, and said to Torri, "Ma power? Well it's kinda hard ta explain... But I'll give it a shot... It's kinda like I can send out erm... beams of like, heat, out of my hands? Yeah, I think that's explained it. I can melt things, boil things, stuff like that." Maie beamed at Torri, "How 'bout ya? If ya don't mind, what power do ya have?"

"Yea well, I'm not sure if we're allowed to go really, it's like high school level and we're the young kids here. Surprisingly. But you'll meet the rest of the clan, the wee girls are cute and the boys are a pain in the butt. But it's alright." Her cheery voice was louder than it had been before. Talking to people really eased her into things quite quickly. She just had to get to the talking stage first. "You're proper new to this? It's alright. I only found out a couple months ago and I'm used to it by now, and my mam was proper anti-mutant beforehand. It's a relief here. Pretty much a home if you stay full time."
With a small shrug she beckoned Marie to start walking with her; beginning the 'tour' so to speak. "That sounds like a right cool gift that. Heat from your hands? Do you mean like fire or something? Cause Ember is a fire wielder. She's alright, a little too self controlled but shes a very good fighter." With another short nod she kept walking toward the door she had just came from. "This, is the recreation room, lovingly known as the rec room. It has loads of stuff. But like, at 8 everyone gathers to watch TV. Always a fight, always a laugh. There's a snooker table too down the other end and all sorts."
Waving uncaringly at the door she looked back with another shrug. "Me? I'm just a shapeshifter, Ive looked all levels of crazy. I was pink before, embarrassing time." She said, her lips turning up a little at the sides as she remembered her fluff of a shift not too long ago. "Anyway, Karma will get us all in shape before we two bump up to combat."
Following the way to the library, Torri thought for a moment. "If you want, I'm sure Karma'd love to meet you the now. She's like head of the library so I assume she'll be in here." She nodded her head towards the library door. It would be good to get to know the team leader first wouldn't it? Of course, when Torri had first met Colossus it went the complete opposite way.

Marie laughed at Torri's desciption of the young girls and boys, "Ain't boys always a pain?" She was slowly easing into the conversation, and was glad that Torri seemed to be relaxing more to, i really want ta fit in here, so I could use having some good friends! She thought cheerily. Her smile dropped a bit when Torri said her mum was anti-mutant, and mumbled an I'm sorry. Marie could imagine what she felt at that, her parents on the other hand probably had no idea she was a mutant - or indeed that she wasn't living with them!
As Torri motioned to her to go along the corridor, Marie was quick to follow. She tried keeping up with everything, but she was certain she'd have to ask for directions again. Marie thought about Torri's question, her power wasn't really like fire, so she said so. "It's invisible, more like beams of heat!" She was starting to get used to the mansion, and smiled when Torri said there was usually fights whilst watching t.v - just like a big family!
"A shape-shifter? Wow, that's a neat gift ya have there. Can ya turn inta anything? I don't mean ta sound rude, but I haven't talked ta many mutants." Marie asked, 'her powers really cool!. "Ya know, with a gift like that ya could get inta movies that ya are ta young for. Think o' the possibilites!"
Torri then paused, and she looked like she was thinking about something. When she asked about meeting Karma, Marie hesitated. She was nervous, but Torri would be with her, right? And she wasn't nervous. "Sure, I'd love ta meet her. She's like .... the team leader yeah?" Marie smiled and again followed Torri.

"It's not rude, don't worry. And ... not quite yet. I'm not really that good. I can turn invisible though; that was the first thing I was able to do. I had to hide alot." Still smiling a little it amazed her how easy she could talk about the darker parts of her childhood while in an easy conversation. "So far i can just like manipulate the mass i already have? Apparently? Like, i cant do much from thin air, but i can change colour if i really think. Like i said, i was pink!" She giggled again.
"Plus, my Daddy taught me well to not go against the law. I'm only thirteen, and I can't stand stuff I see here anyway." Smiling a little and listening through the door of the library. Hearing voices inside Torri nodded her head and smiled. "Aye she's team leader for us Alphas. Theres a few of us now, 6 I think. So she's good. Like a ... a mam." pulling her eyebrows together a little she shook the idea of her dislike of that association with mothers.
"She's lovely. And she'll need to meet you eventually, this way you're not forced to. She wont know your here yet, I think." With that she looked back at Marie and nodded, opening the door and nodding her head toward the library in the motion for her to go first. She would follow up the rear.
