This is probably does not follow the plot of the films or the comics or anything so I probably have done a hell of a lot wrong. This is just a random fan-fic that I wanted to write. So yeah, I'm sorry if you don't like it and correct me if you want to but I can't guarantee that I won't kill you if you do… as I am such a lovely person (note the sarcasm)

The man moved through the warehouse quickly. A wind whistled through the fallen walls making the air chilly and dry. A wind whistled through the fallen walls making the air chilly. Sharp specks of dry snow fell with the wind, irritating the skin on the man's face, but did not settle, just grouped in holes and cracks in the old walls.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Professor, there ain't anyone here.” The man growled into a communicator on his wrist.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Cerebro says that it's in one of those buildings, Logan.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The man grunted slightly in a sigh and kept walking through the flecking snow. Up some old rusted stairs that looked like they were going to give way were some offices. But they were all abandoned long ago and didn't give a clue to anything.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
In his mind he had already given up until he reached a door that he couldn't open. Metal sliced through his skin and claws ripped through the door making a satisfying screech. He then preceded the rip the metal door off it's hinges and through it to the side. The doorway lead to steps that went down, under the offices and further into the ground.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
At the end there was another door. But this one was much different than the old rusting ones that were in the offices, this one was newer than anything else there and locked by a electronic lock. Knowing what to do to the lock to open it the man suck his middle finger at the door and pressed his nails deep into the electronics. The door unlocked at the controls for it smoked and the man pushed it open.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The room that he as lead to had no resemblances to the rest of the warehouse that looked like it had been abandoned for years and years. This room was modern, one light flickered on from the door being opened but it hardly did much. The walls were dark, covered in a metal it seemed, and one wall seemed to be a completely made of machinery, like a huge computer, but what the hell was all this doing hidden under a warehouse.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But that was not what the man concentrated on, what he saw was the only thing that was trapped between the four walls of that room. There was a girl resting in a seat raised from the ground, her body seemed lifeless.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She had her eyes closed but they seemed to flicker through her sleep. Her hair was strangely blue with no hit of it being dyed. The only skin that was shown was on her face, and that was so pale, as if she had never been outside.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
That she wore was plastic and covered the whole of her body like a second skin. There were parts that were wrapped around by white bands that were attached to the suit that stuck to her skin. On the left hand side of chest a name “<font color="Black">Devon Alvar” with the numbers 369720 underneath and on the right there was there figure of a butterfly, all stood out bright white on the darker blue.</font>
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But what was most noticeable was that there were white covered wires coming out of the suit, out of her skin. They ran down past the seat and were plugged into the wall.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Sharp claws ripped through the wires and the man lifted her still sleeping off the seat.

At the Institute the man carrying the girl walked into a room followed closely behind by a man in a wheelchair. The girl was put on an examining table.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“She doesn't respond to anything.” Wolverine mumbled.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Thank you, Logan, but I think that this is not just an ordinary sleep.” The man said, placing his hands near the girl's head as the standing man rolled his eyes at the obvious answer.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Professor Xavier struggled to make a connection with her mind like he had done with so many other people. “It's strange.” He said, almost to himself. “Her mind is not like any that I have ever seen before.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“What d'you mean, Charles?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Well, firstly her mind is completely blank, but there is something else there that I can' get to, it's being blocked in a way that I have never seen before.” The man ran his hand over his bare head and sighed. “How did you say that you found her?” He asked the other man again.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“She was plugged into the computer on the wall, by wires.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Well, lets try that then, I see no other way.” The professor said, moving to the outlet on the wall that was linked to Cerebro.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“But I broke the wires.” Wolverine protested.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The man in the wheelchair turned on the outlet and the screen started to flicker. Suddenly the screen flashed with the figure of a butterfly. The wires that still hung around the girl, still attached to her skin, started to move and were lifted from the ground. They flew straight to the computer as if it were a magnet almost hitting the professor on the way.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Logan, were the computers that she was plugged into before turned on.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The man shook his head. “Didn't look like it.” He said. “Is she taking all the power from the computer then?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The computer screen flickered once more and then went blank, shutting down. “I think that might have been it.” The professor said. “It seems to me that this girl takes power from electrical circuits.” He said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Do you think that she'll wake up?” Wolverine asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Maybe once she is fully charged.” The professor said. “Let's leave her.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">

The girl finally opened her eyes and the wires fell from where they had attached themselves to the wall, feeding off all the electrical energy that the outlet once had.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She looked the room, not recognising it. Her mind was filled with this room, the only thing that she had ever seen. She fell off the table and into the corner, hugging her legs to her in all the strangeness of the room.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But no, there was one other thing in her memory. She tried to think about it, she searched her mind to open that file that was that only thing that she had. A savage pain ripped though her body and a sign in her mind said that she could not open the file. It asked for a password…
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She didn't understand it, nothing, everything was strange.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The door to the room opened and someone can in. All the woman saw when she came into the room was a girl huddled into the corner.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The woman stared as she saw that her shin was covered in strange marking, like tattoos, but they seemed to move slightly, twisting around themselves.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hey.” The woman said, crouching in front of the terrified girl.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The girl looked at her and the markings started to fade away. “Hey.” The girl said back.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Are you ok, how do you feel?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The girl just stared at the woman for a few moments then again repeated what the woman said. “Are you ok, how do you feel?” She said, in a little voice.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Do you understand what I'm saying?” The woman asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The girl just stared again, her light blue eyes didn't seem to see anything, they just stared. “Hey.” She said again, not knowing what to say.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Common, come with me, my name is Ororo.” The woman held out a hand to the girl who looked at it for a few moments and then continued to stare at the woman.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The girl looked behind the woman in front of her to where the computer was. The wires started to move again and attached themselves to the computer again. This time they did not search for power, they looked for information.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The woman stared at the eyes of the girl went from light blue and terrified to calm and completely white.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“My name is…” The girl said, her voice in a monotone, but this time it was her own. “The…” She searched every scrap of file in her mind and downloaded the language that the computer had. “…Farasha.” She finally finished.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Can you understand me now?” The woman asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The girl's eyes went back to blue and nodded her head. “Yes, I can understand you.” She answered in full English, trying out her voice.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Well then, Farasha, will you come with me?” The woman asked again holding out her hand.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yes, where do you wish to take me to.” The girl asked and held her hand out as well, but did not touch the other woman's.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">

The man grunted slightly in a sigh and kept walking through the flecking snow. Up some old rusted stairs that looked like they were going to give way were some offices. But they were all abandoned long ago and didn't give a clue to anything.
</p></div>

In his mind he had already given up until he reached a door that he couldn't open. Metal sliced through his skin and claws ripped through the door making a satisfying screech. He then preceded the rip the metal door off it's hinges and through it to the side. The doorway lead to steps that went down, under the offices and further into the ground.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
At the end there was another door. But this one was much different than the old rusting ones that were in the offices, this one was newer than anything else there and locked by a electronic lock. Knowing what to do to the lock to open it the man suck his middle finger at the door and pressed his nails deep into the electronics. The door unlocked at the controls for it smoked and the man pushed it open.

The room that he as lead to had no resemblances to the rest of the warehouse that looked like it had been abandoned for years and years. This room was modern, one light flickered on from the door being opened but it hardly did much. The walls were dark, covered in a metal it seemed, and one wall seemed to be a completely made of machinery, like a huge computer, but what the hell was all this doing hidden under a warehouse.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

But that was not what the man concentrated on, what he saw was the only thing that was trapped between the four walls of that room. There was a girl resting in a seat raised from the ground, her body seemed lifeless.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She had her eyes closed but they seemed to flicker through her sleep. Her hair was strangely blue with no hit of it being dyed. The only skin that was shown was on her face, and that was so pale, as if she had never been outside.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
That she wore was plastic and covered the whole of her body like a second skin. There were parts that were wrapped around by white bands that were attached to the suit that stuck to her skin. On the left hand side of chest a name “<font color="Black">Devon Alvar” with the numbers 369720 underneath and on the right there was there figure of a butterfly, all stood out bright white on the darker blue.</font>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But what was most noticeable was that there were white covered wires coming out of the suit, out of her skin. They ran down past the seat and were plugged into the wall.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

Sharp claws ripped through the wires and the man lifted her still sleeping off the seat.

At the Institute the man carrying the girl walked into a room followed closely behind by a man in a wheelchair. The girl was put on an examining table.

“Thank you, Logan, but I think that this is not just an ordinary sleep.” The man said, placing his hands near the girl's head as the standing man rolled his eyes at the obvious answer.

Professor Xavier struggled to make a connection with her mind like he had done with so many other people. “It's strange.” He said, almost to himself. “Her mind is not like any that I have ever seen before.”

“Well, firstly her mind is completely blank, but there is something else there that I can' get to, it's being blocked in a way that I have never seen before.” The man ran his hand over his bare head and sighed. “How did you say that you found her?” He asked the other man again.

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Well, lets try that then, I see no other way.” The professor said, moving to the outlet on the wall that was linked to Cerebro.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

The man in the wheelchair turned on the outlet and the screen started to flicker. Suddenly the screen flashed with the figure of a butterfly. The wires that still hung around the girl, still attached to her skin, started to move and were lifted from the ground. They flew straight to the computer as if it were a magnet almost hitting the professor on the way.

The computer screen flickered once more and then went blank, shutting down. “I think that might have been it.” The professor said. “It seems to me that this girl takes power from electrical circuits.” He said.

She looked the room, not recognising it. Her mind was filled with this room, the only thing that she had ever seen. She fell off the table and into the corner, hugging her legs to her in all the strangeness of the room.

But no, there was one other thing in her memory. She tried to think about it, she searched her mind to open that file that was that only thing that she had. A savage pain ripped though her body and a sign in her mind said that she could not open the file. It asked for a password…
