I was lost, I had no name, no future, I was used for my gifts. Then I was found, given a life, given a future, given everything.
I am Philippa Holmes and this is my story

I walked back into my room intending on getting changed. When i walked in Raven jumped me.
"And where have you been all night?" she asked
"Jesus. Raven!"
"don't Raven me i was worried sick."
"I stayed in Charles' room if you must know. I had a wobble." he face softened
"You could have come to me."
"I didn't i went to him. Now can i wash and change. Apparently Hank wants to see us" She stepped aside and i went to do what i said i was going to. The four of us entered the huge dome where Hank was waiting.
"I call it Cerebro" Charles chuckles
"As in the Spanish for brain?"
"Yes" Hank answered "Okay so the electrodes connect Charles to the transmitter on the roof. When he picks up a mutant his brain sends a signal through a relay and then the co-ordinates of their location are printed out here." he gestures to a machine.
"You designed this?" i asked
"Yeah" i nodded as he looked behind me and at Raven.
"What and adorable lab rat you make Charles." Erik teased
"Don't spoil this for me Erik"
"I've been a lab rat i know one when i see one"
' I might as well be invisible' i thought
"You are not invisible, Phillipa"
"Stay out of my head Charles" i huffed
"Hard to when you think so loud i needn't do any work." i went to lean against the railing and folded my arms.
"Okay, great. Are you sure we can't shave your head?" i started laughing at Hanks comment
"Don't touch my hair"
"okay" i covered my mouth still giggling. Charles looked over at me and smiled before closing his eyes. Hank powered everything up and the lights dimmed. He gasped as he grabbed onto the bars and he was looking for mutants.
"It's working" Hank grinned We watched for ages as more locations of mutants.

Over the next couple of weeks Erik and Charles left to gather more mutants. Soon there were seven of us all in the break out room.
"We should think of code names. We're government Agents now we should have secret code names. I want to be called Mystique." Raven grinned
"Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique" Sean the red head with freckles groaned
"Well tough i called it" she changed into a replica of Sean "And I'm way more mysterious than you." the other clapped.
