Author's Note: First off, I don't own the X-men, no matter how much I wish to and this is a disclaimer for the entire story. I only own OC's in the story. There is a new system so that you can tell when people are thinking, telepathically talking, or just talking. Don't forget to Review! Enjoy!

The first time I ever saw the X-Men was on the news just like everyone else, well except those who were there and witnessed the entire thing.

When the news about mutants first came out, everyone was scared to death and making up stories that these "freaks," as they called them, would start to try and take over the planet and become criminal master minds. That's what you would expect from a cartoon, not a real person who is suddenly mutated…well, I guess it could happen. Although, we don't know what most mutants are capable of, so… who knows? Some of them could decide that they have what it takes to control the world with no one to stop them and bada-bing bada-boom, we've got a mutant trying to take over the world and maybe starting World War 3. Just what we needed.

Well for me, there are times that I find myself wishing to meet one of the X-Men and other times when I don't. I mean there are kids popping up everywhere with weird powers such as walking through walls and blowing up random things with a thought. But wouldn't it be cool to have powers that allow you to do things you normally wouldn't be able to? I ask myself this question a lot when I'm bored in class and well maybe it is cool.

I also think that many of the mutants are only fighting and blowing things up because people don't wish to accept who and what they are and then you've got people and gangs attacking them and so they use their powers in self defense or in some cases revenge. They become frustrated and don't know how to aim their anger at anything except those who are prosecuting them which creates the criminal master minds everyone is so afraid of.

Well, enough talking about the X-Men and the mutants sprouting into the world. This is my story about how I became a mutant and came to be a part of the team... the X-Men, and then…well, I suppose I should just tell you the story from the beginning. It all started during the school week on a Friday afternoon…

Author's Note: I know it's short but hold on the chapters get longer. For those of you who have already read the chapters the plot is the same. All I've done is correct errors and made my descriptions and such more, well descriptive. I hope you like the rewritten version. Please review at the end of the story! There won't be any more author's notes until the last chapter.
