Door sighed. Oh well, one more person who wouldn't trust her.
"I was born in London" she began. "Magneto and his crew, they found out about my powers when I was very little. They went to my parents - convinced them they could train me, help me adjust - he might have even fed them some line about a school. They gave me to them. Later Emma, and the rest, murdered my parents. They raised me below London. We were always hiding out. They were like my adopted family I guess. About a year ago I found out what they were really up to. And found out about my parents. I ran away and came here."

"Wow...powerful..." Pearl was amazed at the girl. She had a strength much deeper than Pearl had first realized. "You're a very strong person..."

"She is" Dream whispered.

Jean smiled. "All right everyone. Are we ready to start? I think it's important that we address our powers today."

Jack walked in, avoiding catching anyone's eyes. He picked a seat at the back and sat down quietly.

"Welcome Jack!" said Jean. "Now, let's start by going around the room - each person why don't you tell what you feel comfortable sharing about how you discovered your powers, and what you know you can do. Jack, why don't you start?"

Jack started. She'd called on him. Why? Why couldn't he just drift through unseen, like he wanted? Jack's eyes darted to each of the others' in turn before they stopped at his desk. He stared at the veneer and stammered a response. "I... I don't know wh-what they are yet. Just that... they aren't nice." He shrugged and shut his mouth, hoping she'd ask nothing more of him.

"Just tell us what they are" said Jean. "There's no judgement here. We all have things we need to work on."

Jack shrugged and muttered, "I know I can throw people." He glanced at Pearl, then back at the desk. "And..." He thought back to Zombie in the library. "I think I can feel emotions too. Other people's emotions..."

"You also have some power with electricity if I remember correctly" Jean smiled. "Pearl?"

"As far as I'm aware...I have minor telepathy powers...basics of reading minds...both voluntarily and involuntarily. And occasionally I can freeze time."

"And how did you discover your powers Pearl?"

"Well," she blushed. It was uncomfortable to talk about it. "I always knew I was a little different, but I thought it was all in my head. I discovered my minor telepathy early on. I'd know something my mom said before she said it, etc, but it wasn't until my parents sat me down and told me they weren't my parents that I really knew. My parents seemed to think I'd been born of something or someone who was very different, and that's why I was given up. And they'd found out about Dr. X by then and got me private lessons with him for the last few years...he helped me really figure a lot of my power out...then he encouraged me to come to school here...and so here I am..."

Jean smiled. She felt how nervous the students were, so she sat down, and began to share her story. "I'm also telepathic, and telekenetic - that means I can move things with my mind. I also control the Phoenix Force which...is probably not something we should get into now. I discovered my powers when I was a child and my best friend was hit by a car. They were overwhelming, and it took me years to learn to control them. Even after a lot of hard work I still have my...bad days." Yeah Jean, try bad year. "I know what it's like. We all know what it's like to be different, to feel out of control, and like you don't know who you are. But we're also here for you. You're all very special. Don't worry too much." Jean smiled. "Before we continue, I have a feeling you all might have a few questions..."

Pearl timidly raised her hand. Her self confidence went out the window when it came to powers. It was the one thing in her life she was truly terrified of. "I know when we were talking before you touched on this, but...they haven't found a link between it have they? Why certain people are 'special' instead of others?"
