The black haired woman

Johnny's stomach sank a little as he saw the black haired woman from his class leaning on the far wall of the class room. She gave him a wicked grin as he walked in. She motioned for him to sit down which he did.

"Before we go any farther Mr. Smith... or can I call you Johnny?" She waited for Johnny who nodded slightly. "Well Johnny, I represent a group of people who are very interested in you. A group of mutants."

Johnny couldn't believe what he heard. He had been very careful to hide that he was a mutant. he didn't use his ability and tried to avoid people when he could. How could she know?

"Johnny our group has a way of detecting mutants and what their power level is." The woman said walking over to the desk and sitting on it. "We might not know what your abilities are but we know you are on the edge between alpha and omega level. The person who sent me believes with the right training you could reach that omega level."

Johnny had no idea what Alpha and Omega levels were but they did sound interesting. Maybe this woman had some answers he didn't. Maybe she could help him understand his power a bit more and how to control it.

"Who are you?" Johnny asked his face still showing a bit of confusion.

"My name is Raven Darkholme but I more commonly go by the name..." The woman smiled and began to shift her look. Her black hair turned to red and her pale white skin turned blue. Even her outfit changed into a white almost robe-like dress. "Mystique. My power is my ability to shapeshift into any form I chose. This is my true form. It's easy to see why I have to hide it when in public."

Johnny was in a bit of shock. Out of everything he expected to encounter in this meeting this was far from what he expected. Instead of being threatened or blackmailed for being a mutant he was face to face with another one. A beautiful one even if she was blue.

"So what does your group want with me?" Johnny asked. "I'm sure you have some reason to be spying on me."

"Smart boy." Mystique smiled and leaned back on the desk a bit. "We may not know what your power is due to you hiding it, but the fact that we detected your level means you are powerful and we want to recruit you. We want to give you the chance to not only stop hiding your power but use it for the betterment of all mutant kind."

Johnny had heard of a few groups who were campaigning for mutant rights but since they were a minority they all seeped condemned for their wishes. Most of the time Johnny agreed with them because he was tired of being so secretive. Was this his chance to finally be free of all the secrets and stress that came with it? Is she telling the truth? There might only one way to find out.
