A dark haired girl sits, completely upside down on the ceiling.

Students race through the halls beneath as she calmly turns the page on the book in her hands.

Extinct animals and where to find them.

She rolls her baby blue eyes and shakes her head as she scans the page.

She calmly twirls a lock of her hair, ignoring the stares she's getting from newer students.

The room around her is mostly dark due to lack of windows and lighting.

Her head snaps up as the front door opens.

Her eyes light up as her chest swells with excitement.

In comes Alex Summers, trailing behind him, a shorter boy with a bandage on his eyes.

"ALEX!"

She exclaims, quickly dropping down, landing with her knee's bent.

She runs up to him and throws her arms around him.

"Nyx! When did you get so tall?"

He says hugging her back.

"5 years ago? I'm 20 not 10. And you need a haircut."

She says laughingly.

"You must be Scott? I'm Nyx."

She says holding out her hand, one arm still wrapped around Alex.

She then realizes her mistake in offering a handshake to a blind boy and snaps her hand away, her cheeks flushing pink.

"Welcome to Xavier's school for the gifted."

She says warmly.

"Smells pretty old in here."

Scott comments as they make their way further into the mansion.

"Is this a school or museum."

He says snarkily.

"Sometimes it feels more like a mental facility."

Nyx murmurs softly, as Alex helps Scott down the stairs.

"One more, and last one."

Scott took two steps forward slamming into Jean, who's books flew from her hands.

She caught them telekinetically and brought them back to her hands.

"I can't..."

Scott says suddenly.

"What? Who are you talking to?"

Alex asks confusedly, a tiny smirk crawls onto Nyx's face as she understands the situation fully.

"Me."

Jean says quietly.

"I just heard you in my head."

Scott says sounding incredulous, raising his hand to his temple.

"I'm telepathic, I read minds."

She replies, shifting her books.

Nyx watches intently.

As far as she had seen from Scott, these two were polar opposites.

"Well, stay out of mine. I don't need some weird girl creeping around in there."

Nyx whacked Scott on the arm, then felt slightly bad as she realized he hadn't seen it coming.

"Don't worry, Scott, there's not much to see."
