"I don't know if you know but Professer Xavier asked me to become a student there." Xierra said as she recieved her cup of
coffee from the waiter.
"Dont' see de problem." Remy said, recieving his plate of bacon, sausage and eggs.
"There are certain, obligations, I have that make me undecisive about this." she said, sipping her coffee.
"If it's about de vampire hunting, don' worry about it." said Remy as if it were a day to day thing.
"How do you know about that?" Xierra said, shocked.
"Blue put it together afta ye left. We handle vampires before."
"Then you're not worried about that?" she asked.
"Non, all de professer wants is te help."
"There's another thing, I have this cat and.."
"Don' know about dat chere, we got an' animal of our own in de house, don' know if he'll let a kitty on te his turf." Remy said with
a smirk. "Best I can say te ye, come home wit' me an' we sort everyt'in' out wit' Logan in de mornin' "
"Logan? Is he your cat?" she asked. "Somet'in' like dat."

"Excuse my apartment." she said, blowing a piece of hair away from her face and throwing her keys on the side table.
It was big and quite spacious, she "didn't like alot of things to crowd her place" she said to Remy. A small kitten came running out
from room and she scooped it up.
"Remy, this is Sabian." Xierra said handing Sabian over to him. "Sabian, Remy." The kitten licked Remy's face and put a paw on
his cheek. "Just let me grab a few things, now you're sure I can stay over there?"
"Oui."
She walked into her room and took all the clothing that would fit into her back pack and they left her apartment. "Sabian better
ride with me." Xierra said as they got to the front of the building. Remy handed Sabian to Xierra and they got onto their
motorcycles. "Nice bike by the way." she said to Remy.
"Your's non to bad chere." They got onto their bikes and Xierra without Remy's knowledge put Sabian on the ground and
whispered.
"Sabian, follow." Remy started his bike and pulled away, followed closely by Xierra an Sabian.

"Home sweet home." Remy said as they pulled up to the front of the mansion.It was about 7:30 in the morning when they got
there and as Remy explained, "most of de X-men would probably be sleepin' " He led her into the lounge of the mansion then
showed her around abit.
She heard the sound of kicking and punching outside and when she looked saw Logan practicing combat moves on a tree trunk.
"Doesn't that hurt him?" she asked Remy.
"Who him? non. Where dat cat o' yours, Sabian?"
Xierra turned to him then said, "Oops, I fogot him outside with my luggage."
She ran through the kitchen and the lounge to her bike outside. "Sabian, Sabian."she whispered hastily. A black panther came
running towards her and jumped into the air. "Well done, Sabian, well done." Xierra said, stroking the kitten which lay panting in
her arms.
She took her rucksack and walked back into the house. "Remy, where's Logan?" she said as she closed the door and walked into
the lounge.
"I'd like ye to meet a friend o' mine." Remy said. A short man with hair that seperated down the center and bunched into two
horns extended his hand.
"Oh, hello." she held Sabian with one hand and shook the other.
"Cute kitten ya got there." he said.
"Thank you, would you like to hold him?" Sabian practically jumped from Xierra onto Logan's shoulder.
"Guess I would." he said.
"Remy, where's Logan? I want Sabian to meet with him as soon as possible so we know if he likes him or not. Logan, here boy."
she said walking around the kitchen, close to the ground. "Did you say Logan was a cat or a dog?" she asked.
"I didn't." Remy answered.
"Doesn't look like he's coming. I hope he likes Sabian." she said in a forlorn expression.
"Don't worry, I do." Logan said, walking past her and letting Sabian lick his finger.
"You're Logan?" she said following him into the lounge. "I am so sorry, Remy said you, I mean, Logan was an animal."
"S'okay, Gumbo would say that." said Logan, seating himself on the couch.
"I'm gonna go and unpack my stuff." she said to him.
"You're staying here?" he asked. "Only for a week or so, your professor invited me." Logan nodded and picked up the remote.
Sabian stopped licking Logan's finger, looked at her, then continued. She picked up her bag and made her way up the stairs.

"It will be good having a new student at the school." Cecilia said. The X-men were having dinner at the dinner table and discussing
their newest pupil.
"I'm only going to stay for a week at first, I don't want to wear out my welcome." said Xierra.
"If you ask me, It'll be good having fresh meat ta chew on." Bobby said while cutting off a piece of his fillet but stopped when he
noticed everyone at the table except for Xierra shooting death looks at him. "But then again, no one asked me."
"I understand that your training will start tomorrow." Ororo said, looking back to Xierra.
"Well good luck, the professor runs a grueling workout." said Jean

Xierra woke up in a cold sweat, with a headache that seemed to be consuming her. Her nose was wet and as she lifted her fingers
to wipe it, a drop of blood fell onto them. "What the?" she slid out of bed, into the bathroom and cleaned her nose. After she had
freshened up, she quitely opened her bedroom door and tip toed down to the kitchen.
"Dr. McCoy?" she whispered, squinting in the dark.
"Xierra, so nice to see you." he answered back.
"What are you doing here?" asked Xierra finally seeing the good doctor clearly by fridge light.
"I should be asking you the same question. I'm grabbing a little snack before I go back down to my lab." he said, carefully picking
ingredients for his sandwich. "What about you?"
"I woke up, couldn't get back to sleep." said Xierra, rubbing her temples. "Something wrong?" Beast asked. "It's just, I have this
throbbing headache."
"Here, let me take a look." He walked over to the wall and switched on the light. After checking her over he gave her his
diagnosis, "I'd chalk it up to a bad migrane. Take two of these," he said, walking over to a cupboard and pulling out a bottle of
tablets, "and call me in the morning, or later in this case."
She said thank you then took the tablets and went to lie down on the couch. She picked up the remote control and switched on
the T.V, "Nothing on right now anyway, except infomercials." said Xierra to herself. She was about to put down the remote when
she got a sudden flash in front of her.
She rubbed her temples then blinked frantically. Her senses were working over time and a surge of pain rushed through to her
head. Xierra hopelessly searched for the bottle of tablets which had been knocked to the floor and under the sofa as her nose
began to bleed and her head felt like it was about to explode. In these few seconds, what seemed like an hour to her, she caught
glimpses of Logan floating in some sort of tube and a short balding man scribbling a few words onto what looked like a medical
chart, then passed out.
***
"Xierra, Xierra." Beast said softly.
"Dr. McCoy." she whispered back. "What happened?"
"That's what we'd like to know. The students came to your aid and found you lying on the couch, blood everywhere." said Beast,
pulling up a chair.
She looked around and found herself in the infirmary again. "I had a... I'm not sure what happened." she said as she noticed her
head throbbing again.
"Well, rest easy now. You seem to be making a habit out of fainting." He took out a handkechief and handed it to her. "I'm
guessing that the blood came from your nose. I'll be in my office if you need me." Beast stood up and walked out of the infermary.
She lifted her hands and undid the bandages around them telekinetically. Three large wholes were evident on the back of each
hand.

Logan was as usual venting out on the punching bag in the gym when Xierra approached him. "Good morning." she said
cheerfully.
"Mornin' ." he replied.
"I'm really sorry about yesterday."
"S'okay."
"So, I hear that you're the best hand to hand combat expert here." said Xierra, struggling to make small talk. Logan continued to
punch the bag. "I was wondering if you could fight against me." He halted.
"Sorry kid, I fight and you get hurt." That said he began to, once more, punch the bag. Xierra narrowed her eyes and the bag flew
of its rope and onto the floor.
"Don't worry, I don't bruise easy." she said, with a slightly cocky undertone to her voice. After Logan reluctantly agreed they
headed to an open mat area of the gym and faced each other. He and Xierra stood ready to battle then began. They circled the
floor neather one making the first move.
"We can do this forever." he said after about ten minutes.
"I agree, so go ahead."
Both she and Logan sprang into the air, punching each other when they met. Logan quickly turned to face Xierra when he landed
and was met with her fist, then her knee, then her fist again. He stumbled back then blocked her next attack. "You're good but not
good enough." said Logan, throwing her onto the carpet.
She looked up and smiled at his upside down and said, "Funny, I was about to say the same thing." before locking his neck
between her ankles and throwing him over. She put all her weight on to her hands and pushed herself up, Logan doing exactly the
same. They both aimed a punch at each other then stopped a few inches away, they nodded and reluctantly withdrew. Xierra
flipped back and kicked him on the chin. "Ow!" she said, rubbing her foot.
"Well done." the professor complimented. "Xierra, would you like to begin our training now?" he asked.
"Sure." She turned to Logan, thanked him, lowered her foot and followed the professor.
*
"I'm interested to know, do you have any other abilities?" Professer Xavier asked as he and Xierra walked through the archway in
the back garden of the mansion
"Yes, a few." They stopped next to a flower with a butterfly hovering close by. "My powers are unique, Professor Xavier and
powerful. If I am to show you my true capabilities, then you have to be willing not to tell those outside of your most trusted
friends." Xavier tillted his head. "Look at that butterfly." she said. She lifted her hand and swept it over the small creature. It's
wings began to slow down and finally it froze, in time.
The professor's eyes widened and he held his breath momentarily. "Incredible." he uttered.

"Hello Schlang." A tall women entered Mixers. She had a distinct english accent and was dressed in a hooded robe and had
extremely long brown hair. "What has it been, a millenia?"
"I wish, more like three hundered years, or four." Schlang said, polishing a wine glass. "What are you doing here?" Her voice was
different, much like that of the stranger who had just entered and not like the southern accent which she usually had.
The bar was empty and closed for the week due to needed repairs. A fight had broken out the night before and almost all the
furniture was completely destroyed. It was strange to see a bar that was packed full a few hours ago with loud music, drinks and
people and mutant alike, deserted, quite and dark.
"I see your, bar, if that's what you call it, is with some precautionary measures." the woman said, pointing to the UV light. "Though
don't think those lower beings won't think of attacking her in here."
"Listen Meyrin. I asked what you where doing here, now answer me!" Schlang shouted in agitation.
"I've heard rumors, rumors that you have the child of Osirius and Shiyan."
"Christ, Meyrin, you almost make it sound like I have the girl against her will."
"I would not put it past a traitor like you." she snapped.
"What do you want with the girl Meyrin?"
"Do not dance around the obvious reason Schlang. She belongs with the sisterhood and you know it. I doubt the noble beings that
Shiyan and Osirius were would want you to teach their daughter the ways of her kind."
"She is not like us Meyrin, and the sooner you wise up, the better of you'll be." Meyrin looked at Schlang and pondered.
"You do not want her to join the sisterhood, do you? You would rather she remain with you just so you can us from her."
"You sound like you own her. She's better off without you and I don't think Xierra..." Schlang paused.
"So her name is Xierra. Shiyan did well in giving her that name." She looked around the bar in disgust. "You dare subjugate the
chosen one to work in a place of these appauling standards."
"Don't," Schlang started, slaming a glass against the counter. "you dare come into my bar and put down what I have worked so
hard to achieve!" Meyrin's fingers and face began to stretch followed by a faint holler. Schlang's eyes became completely blue and
her face and fingers to began to stretch.
"Do not challenge me, exile!" Meyrin wailed, her eyes becoming brown.
"I've been waiting a long time to do this." They were about to strike each other when Xierra came running in. Both of them
instantly reverted back.
"Schlang, we got a problem..oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you had company." Xierra said noticing Meyrin. She and Schlang broke
their icy gaze and turned to Xierra.
"It's okay honey, no one important."
"Schlang, are you not going to introduce us?" Meyrin asked.
"Ah don't think so, g'bye."
"I am Meyrin." She said with a bow.
"Xierra." said Xierra.
"You are so beautiful, just like your.." Meyrin was cut off by Schlang clearing her throat. Xierra looked at one, then the other.
"Schlang, could we talk?" said Meyrin.
"I can take a hint." Xierra said politely. She turned and walked into the storage room of the bar.
"I will hold my tongue only because telling her now will not go down well, but I will tell her. Prepare Xierra for you are,
unfortunately, someone that she trusts. The sisters deserve to see her, to know her and so does our world." Meyrin stormed out
leaving Schlang and Xierra who, without Schlang's knowledge was hiding behind the wall and listening in on the conversation, had
a number of unanswered questions.
"Xierra, you okay back there sugah?" Schlang asked.
"Fine, but I think that I should go hunting, the sun just went down." said Xierra, pinning up her hair and swinging her backpack
over her shoulder.
"Wait a minute, what was it yah wanted tah tell me?"
"Later Schlang." She kissed her on the cheek and left.
…still undefined but you'll have to deal.
