A peaceful night over Fairhaven, the sky a murky velvet of blues and blacks, with tiny white dots scattered about like freckles. The moon shone brightly, illuminating the trees, the hills and the houses.
The star and moonlight fell upon the face of a teenage girl who sat at the edge of the pond in her backyard, making waves by moving her finger tips around in it. She watched the wonderfuly large Coi fish swim about, causing ripples to rise up on the surface every now and again.
Hope stood up and stretched, wiping her hand on her shirt to dry it real quick. She sighed as she heard her mother call out, "Hope! Hope? Come inside theres someone here to meet you!"
Hope sighed, "Great another psychiatrist..." She muttered as she walked up her porch and toward the sliding glass doors. She slid them open and walked into her living room...

A young man, around the age of 17, stood by her parents, looking very professional, glasses on the bridge of his nose, a smooth tailored jacket on.
"why hello." he smiled as the girl walked in.
"I hear you're having some.. changes?... something's happened that never has before? I'm here to help... I know a place that can help you with all of it.' he smiled at her, a bit of his blue hair falling in his eyes.

"A boarding school?" Hope replies, sighing and shooting her parents a look of anger. "Momma there is nothing wrong with me ok!? That man suffered a h-heart attack or something!" She says, her volume not raising that much, but enough toc convey her anger.

"So its a mental Institution?" She says, her eye's tearing up a little bit.
"Honey its not what you thin-" Her mother began, but was quickly cut off when Hope slapped her accross the face and stormed out of the house, nearly breaking the sliding glass door as she left.
She fled to the dark corner of the pond, and sobbed rather loudly. "Jerks..."

He quickly followed her out and knealed down next to her.
"whoo, glad to be out of there..." he didn't sound as proper as he did before.
"look. I know about your power... I have one too... your parents? they have no clue what's going on... mine hated me after they found out about me... it's best right now if you just come with me so you can control it... This guy, Magneto... he really helped me..." he raised a hand and started to pull the water out of the pond slowly.

Hope sobbed a bit and looked up as he began to make the water float about in his hand. "S-so...I'm not alone?" She asks, looking over at him yet still having her face burried in her knees.
She watched a little gold fish get sucked up into the water too. "And this...Magneto person...will help me out?"

"of course he will... I couldn't do this before he helped me... he just asks that you help him on occasions... that's all..."

"Oh..." She says sadly, looking back out into the water. "I..." She begins, but falters. She lets her eye's drift up to stare at the moon and the stars. The thoughts in her head were conflicting, something just wasn't right about this...but she was curious.
"I...I'll go...and meet him. I...just don't want to hurt anybody..." She decides, looking over at the boy manipulating the water with a smile. "What did you say your name was?"

"I'm Blaine, but everybody calls me Crest. It's nice to meet you hope... You might as well pack some things. We'll be stayin at my place. With Magneto, he helps you learn how to take care of yourself. So he has a boarding house, but it's mostly for boys. I have my own place."

"Alright..." She say's, standing up and wiping some dirt off of her jeans. "What kind of people live there?" She asks, as they both head towards her house. She was genuinely worried about the whole thing, and obviously wanted to forget about what happened.
As they walked, she looked down at her left hand.

"different kinds of people. Like anywhere, some are jerks, some are not. There are alot of guys there, but some girls too. And they're all like us, with different powers. We all learn how to take care of ourselves, how to use our powers, and how to live in the real world."

"That sounds neat...I suppose..." Hope says with a smile, giving her mom an appologizing glance as she headed upstairs to her room to gather her things. "W-will I have to change schools?"

"not unless you want to, no. You don't even have to go to school if you don't want to."

"Well I like school..." She says, as they round a corner and enter her room. It was neat. And clean. Too clean actually, usually girls have at least a pile of unmentionables in a corner, but this girl didn't. She pulled out a suitcase and started loading some clothes in, a couple sundresses mainly pants and shirts, underwear, her bathing suit.
She smiled, she was probably the only girl who didn't own any makeup. She looked up at him, "So uh...whats Mister Magneto like?" She asks, zipping the case shut and standing up.
