Jessie Liles


It was 5:00 am. on a Friday morning, the sun was partially up and there were people awake and going to work. The sun came through the hotel's partially open shade, Jessie moaned and turned over to get the sun out of her face. She then felt someone touch her side, and she flinched, but calmed down when she heard, '' Jessie, babe, wake up. You don't want to be late on your first day at the Institute, do you?'' It was her mother's kind and loving voice, Jessie smiled and gently sat up. She blinked a couple of times to get used to the sun, she looked at her mom and smiled. Jessie took a deep breath and said, '' Do I really have a choice?'' She said that as she got up off of the bed and walked over to her bag to get out a clean pair of clothes. She grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans, a white tee-shirt, and her purple hoodie. Before her mom could answer her, Jessie heard a knock on the hotel room's door, Jessie walked over and looked out to see her brother and dad with their stuff already packed. Jessie smiled and unlocked the door and opened it, she smiled and said, '' Morning dad, Luke .'' She said that as her father and brother walked in, Luke ran onto the bed and began to jump on it. Jessie only smiled and walked over to the bathroom to get into her clean clothes and out of her PJ's.

While Jessie was getting dressed her mom looked at her father and said, '' I don't know what to do Aaron. Jessie doesn't want to go still. I understand, but she's just making it harder.'' Jessie's dad nodded and said, '' I knew she would be rejecting it at first. But Jessie's smart, she'll do the right thing and go to that school. She just needs time accepting her power.'' Her mother nodded and they sat down and began to talk as they waited for Jessie to be done. Jessie came out about fifteen minutes later, she was dressed and had all of her stuff. She packed up her stuff and said, '' Let's go.'' She said that with a slight sigh and walked out the hotel room's door. Her family came out with their things and followed her as she walked to the car. They put all their belongings in the trunk and got in. Jessie sat in the back and looked out the window as they got onto the main road. Jessie closed her eyes again, since they would be driving for another two hours, she wanted to get some more sleep.

It only seemed like two minutes later when she was awoken from her sleep, she looked up and saw that they were at the Institute. She sighed and got out of the car, with her back pack on her back and she looked at the old building. She then said, '' Nice job bringing your kid to a death trap just waiting to happen.'' She said that as she walked away from the car and up to the old, huge X-Mansion. Her parents only sighed and followed her with her duffle bag, her guitar and her suit case. Jessie walked up to the top step, and knocked on it. When her hand touched the door, it opened and she took a deep breath and stepped in. Her parents and brother followed her in the Mansion. She almost dropped her bag as she looked at all the old things they had in the building. There were armor suits, couches, chairs, old pictures on the walls. Jessie couldn't talk, she was just in shock of how nice this place was, she thought it was going to be old and falling apart, but it looked like they just built it the other day.

Jessie and her family were looking at all the things when they heard someone, '' Can I help you?'' They looked from where the voice came from and they saw a tall, middle aged man with huge side burns standing there in the arch way. Jessie swallowed hard and kept quiet, her father looked at the man and said, '' Um, yes. We are the Liles, our daughter Jessie is supposed to live here now.'' The man cracked his knuckles and said,'' Oh, welcome then. My name is Logan Howlett. But Jessie will learn to call me Wolverine.'' Jessie smiled when she heard what he said, she then spoke up and said, '' You're Wolverine? That's so cool. I heard how you and the rest of the X-Men saved the mutant world from distruction. That's so cool. '' Logan looked at her and then looked at her father, he then said, '' Your daughter needs to register and then unpack her things. Then she must go and talk to Professor X.'' He looked at them and walked away.

Jessie's family looked at her an smiled, her mother walked over to her and gave her a hug. Jessie looked at her mom and said, '' What's wrong? Aren't you going to come and take a look around? Her mother looked at her and sighed, her father then said, '' Jess, we can't come in and look around. We're human, our kind isn't aloud to see what's here.'' He gave her a hug and kissed her cheek, he then walked out and went to the car. Jessie looked at her mom and gave her a tight hug, she gave Luke a hug and just stood there as she watched her family walk out the door and leave. Jessie started to cry, but she stopped and went to go get registered.



Bobby Drake

It was 7:00 am. in the morning when Bobby's alarm when off. He sighed and sat up, he blinked as the morning sun came through his bedroom window. He looked around and was about to lay back down when he remembered today was Friday and that new mutants were coming. He jumped pit of bed and grabbed a gray tee shirt, his blue hoodie, his jeans and his sneakers. He got dressed and gelled his hair and looked in the mirror. He smiled and walked out of his room. He looked around and saw some of his fellow mutants walking around already, he smiled and waved to them and said, '' Good morning.'' to them as he would pass by. He made his way to the main stairs and walked down them. He looked around and walked into the kitchen to get some breakfast. He made a bowl of cereal and sat down in the main dining hall and began to eat his bowl of Fruity Pebbles.
