What If? - Making My Way The Only Way I Know How
To hell with both of those narrow-minded creeps, Lisa Graves thought to herself as she hopped off the back of the truck shed hitched a ride on. She was sixteen, she was a mutant, and as of yesterday, she was disowned.

There hadn't been any ranting. No being locked in the basement or shipped off to some camp. She had simply come home from school to find the locks changed, a packed bag on the porch, and a slip of paper with the address and access code for storage unit where the rest of her things could be found.

She choked down her rage and frustration as she made her way down the last mile of road towards the Xavier school, pressing the intercom at thr front gate.

"Hello? My name is Lisa. Someone told me you help mutants here."

The Drake kids were the unofficial greeters at Xavier's. They always seemed to be one of the first to the door or gate whenever a new person arrived. Usually Cait and Corey competed to be the first to greet the new person, but today Corey wasn't around and that left Cait.

She answered the intercom. "We do. Someone will be right down to meet you." With that she headed for the main gate.

	"Thanks. I... I'm not really sure what to do right now." She wanted to go home and find Sam and just run until she hit the opposite coast was what she wanted to do, but then what? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why don't you come in and we'll see what we can do to help you?" Cait said with a smile. "My name's Caitlyn, Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lisa extends her hand, hairs on her neck already rising as she can feel something in the other girl. She's still getting the hang of the limited extra perception, so there's just different shades of 'not human' so far as she can tell. "Lisa G--... just Lisa, please. Thank you." She adjusts her bag and steps inside. The place is fairly plush. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course. That's why we're here. Help as many as we can." Cait said as she started leading the girl up to the main building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lisa follows. "I just need to get re-situated. My parents tossed me out yesterday. I bummed a few rides to get here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I'm not prying, why did they kick you out?" she asked. Cait couldn't imagine any parent kicking a child out, but she had seen it with some of the students here. She felt for them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My boyfriend best-friend was super-fast. All of a sudden I was too. I told my parents about it. I get home yesterday, my stuff's on the porch or in storage, and the locks are changed." She clenches her jaw. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry," Cait said. "We'll have you talk to the Professor or Mr. Summers and see about getting you a place to stay. We're all mutants here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh... cool." Lisa manages a smile, looking Cait over now the way something that lurks in the tall grass might look at something young and tender limping by. "If I'm not prying," She smiles. "What do you do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm a hydrokinetic," Cait answered. "I can control water." She pulled a small amount of water out of the air and formed it into a bubble. The bubbled wavered and started to take a shape. Then it hardened into ice. Cait held a small ice dolphin in the palm of her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lisa's eyes widened with eager interest. "That's amazing... do you think I could try it--" a beat "--sometime?" Don't push your luck before you've even got your stuff put down, stupid. Be patient. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said. "I practice a lot. You're a hydrokinetic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do... whatever I can. I steal powers. Half of them, anyway." Lisa tries to explain. "I'm still working out the particulars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-07-04 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"Does the person you steal them from lose their powers?" Cait asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2011-07-04 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Not quite. I can only take half of someone's power, I think. I get half of their max, and they get brought down to the same level." Lisa tries to explain. "Still need to experiment with it more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-07-04 01:10 am UTC (link)
	"Is it permanent?" Cait asked. She had to ask. She didn't want anyone taking half her powers and Cait being powered down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~Not yet.~~ "Seems to only last as long as I can maintain focus on it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No offense, but don't even think about taking mine unless you ask." Cait opened the front door and held it open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course not. That'd be rude. Practically bordering on r-- assault." Some people got sensitive about the r-word, and she doesn't need to risk stepping on any toes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2011-07-05 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Cait nodded. "If you'll wait here, I'll go get the Professor or Professor Summers." (Reply to this)(Parent)
