Future or Imagination
 
Hotaru walked down to the dining room. She found everyone eating. She settle in a seat with a small amount of food. She kept thinking about the dream…everything there made no sense to her even the part about her family…Was she and her Papa going to die?
 
Hotaru sighed and took a bite of her salad, unaware of the mental energy she was giving off. The Professor Xavuer and Jean found themselves drawn to it, they of course ignored it as it was impolite going over the new student's thoughts. She also didn't know they were mutants.
 
If she found out later she would be upset or angered by the fact that they had read her memories without her permission. So they tried everything to not do it. But it was like something wanted them to do it. A magnetic like urge, they then turned these thoughts to think of Magneto and what he was doing.
 
Coincidently Hotaru was thinking about the nice man she had met at the park last week before school had started. Today was Tuesday; the day they had met had been Saturday… She smiled faintly; she thought he was nice but a bit sad. If she could cheer him up that would be nice.
 
"How was your day?" She asked Rogue who was sitting next to her. Rogue swallowed and spoke.
 
She told her it had been normal. Hotaru then stayed quiet. She frowned as she recalled the voice telling her to bloom. She wasn't a flower! She giggled slightly.
 
Logan and Xavier were having a conversation.
 
"So Chuck, do you know if any of the flowers are going to bloom soon?" Hotaru made a weird chocking noise.
 
"No, but some appear that they will very soon." Hotaru just started coughing, the people next to her frowned, then they realized she was choking. She was in fact trying to get the thing up herself. Scott who was next to her started trying to help when she started coughing a bit then breathing harshly.
 
"I'm fine." She wheezed. Great, she'd made herself look like an idiot. She glared at her plate, "Really, why don't we continue?" Everyone looked at her unconvinced but did so. Hotaru was careful, she didn't want to 'choke' again. But really, her just saying she wasn't a flower ready to bloom and then they are talking about flowers!
 
Hotaru really wasn't one to believe in the supernatural interference so readily. She mumbled, "Time isn't set in stone." She said to herself, causing some people to look at her. Think she was only talking about her little accident they left it be.
 
She continued to have her thoughts about the dream. Was something going to happen? She frowned, it had seemed that peace could be over again. I should tell Rei-chan, she knows about this…
 
Professor Xavier was looking at her curiously, he had started hearing the last bit about her thoughts, was she starting to show signs about her powers? He frowned inwardly, her signal confused him, most either had a dormant X gene or were human. She gave off both signatures, it was like she was two people, but that couldn't be as she read like one person if you looked at her energy.
 
Sighing, Xavier concentrated back to his conversation with Logan who was sure the Professor wasn't paying attention.
 
Jean had ignored the new girl's mind pull, she simply started humming to herself in her head a really annoying and simple tune.
 
Row, row, row your boat. Gently down the stream…This of course would have seemed odd if it weren't for the fact she felt guilty about unknowingly reading Hotaru's mind the other night.
 
Everyone was starting to finish dinner and Hotaru had eaten very much for her usual appetite, but she hadn't eaten much that day. Hotaru walked back to the room, Kitty and Rogue next to her. "Hotaru!" They called. Hotaru walked in the room and sat down on her unmade bed.
 
"Hi." She called tiredly. Rogue and Kitty sat in their respective beds.
 
"Are you alright?" Hotaru smiled.
 
"If it was Pietro or his friends we can take care of them." Hotaru smiled a bit stronger, at least she had made friends that cared.
 
"I'm fine, I just didn't get that much sleep today before my nap." They both nodded, that would explain her just being in bed in the afternoon, she usually got her homework done first.
 
"Um, can one of you help me with English homework?" She called, yes this was the Hotaru they had seen the last few days. Rogue raised an eye brow and Kitty just happily agreed.
Rei Hino sat down next to the fire in the temple she use to reside in as a girl. She had graduated collage but sometimes old habits die hard… She had come after her dream, Hotaru was going to be in trouble she was sure of it. She stared at the flame, this only reinforced it.
 
A smiling Hotaru was shown, she was in regular clothing, but her glaive was in hand. Rei did not know what this meant but she was sure it wasn't good. Pluto and the others had to be notified.
 
The flame suddenly erupted in a burst, Rei backed away a bit to keep from getting burned. The flame showed a crying Hotaru, she was in a wasteland, but faceless bodies were around her. Rei ran off, she had to tell the others.
