Kyana sat on a stone bench next to a fountain in the Japanese Garden. Everything was so beautiful here. And most of the kids looked normal. Unless someone knew they would never know they where mutants. Unlike her, with her wings she would never be normal. Had she bean right to come here? She felt like she didn't fit in. Everyone was always so happy and goofing around. On her way here she had seen a women great a huge wave in the pool pushing a boy right out of the pool. Everyone seemed so relaxed and happy. Could she truly ever be as relaxed and happy as the other student?
She slipped off her leather jacket and opened her wings. Jet black like her hair. Her nickname fit her better than her real name. Maybe that is what she should go by now. Her old name belonged to a normal girl. But that wasn't her any more. Now she was The Raven. She would never be Kyana Delfrago again.

Bobby Drake stretched his arms over his head as he went to the Japanese Garden. The sight was always appealing to him, plus, it sort of relaxed the mind when it was stressed and filled with inadequate of things. Walking over to the fountain he focused his ice power and froze the water at the top stopping the flow from continuing to rain down in the water below. It was already filling up, he noted as an excuse, plus I can always dissolve it from a distance should it become a problem. Smiling he noticed a big winged girl sitting on a bench.
"Hey...nice wings," Bobby commented as he walked over to join her. Since the wing span prevented any from sitting next to her he decided instead to just sit across from her with the fountain behind him. "You new here? I'm Bobby, though I go by Iceman when on the field and such." He extended a hand and looked over at her waiting to see if there would be any intereaction between the two of them.

Raven watched as a boy walked up and turned the water in the fountain into ice. She sighed knowing her time of peace and quiet was over. He wasn't bad looking. In fact he looked perfectly normal until he used his powers. He was so lucky. When he walked over and said *Nice Wings* she was surprised. She though they where terrible and wished she could get rid of them. But that was impossible. She had actually tried cutting them off once but they had just regrown.
With another sigh she figured she shouldn't leave him hanging. Since he was actually nice enough to say hi and introduce himself. "Hi I'm called The Raven, and yea I'm new I just arrived yesterday. Though I don't know if I'll be staying. Prof. Xavior has bean nice to me but I don't feel like I fit in with everyone."

Bobby frowned as he heard her talk about leaving. "Aw c'mon, this place isn't that bad. I know it feels like everyone is staring from judgement, but, it isn't like that. We are all different in our own ways, and if anyone says your normal, don't sigh, just grin. I can turn things into ice and change my body from soft to hard as ice. So what if you have wings, it makes it easier to get through traffic on the worse of days."
Bobby laughed and ran a hand through his hair. "Look, sometime things can get you down Raven, but, you just have to learn to poke fun at yourself. I do it all the time, that way, I prepare myself for insults and say, 'like I haven't heard that one before', that usually gets them mad. You don't mind I call you Raven right?"

For the first time in months she actually smiled. Bobby made her feel normal again. And he was right her wings do make it easier for her to get around. But they weren't easy to hide when out in the open. "Your right, I guess I've bean so used to having non mutants say I'm a freak and all when they see me that i began to think the way they did." She couldn't believe how nice everyone was here. Maybe she could fit in here.
"I have never thought about it like that before. I'll try to remember that when things are getting me down." Brushing a strand of her black hair away from her face she shook her head. "No I don't mind being called Raven. I have a question, what can you do with your ice powers besides freezing stuff of course. Like can you make a pathway in the sky with them? That would be cool. I might just have to challenge you to a race some day if you can."

Bobby smiled as he made her feel better. This place could make one feel small at times, like they were insignificant in some way. He never let it get to him or he would be one of the first out of here in a heart beat. In fact, when he was first dropped off here he was shy and reserved, keeping to himself and thinking this was some kind of punishment of sorts. Xavier made him feel like he belonged, and it was in this same location that he finally decided to change his attitude all together. It was a good thing he came here when he did, otherwise who knows what would've happened.
"I'm not that advanced in my training yet," he told her with a weak smile, "in fact I have a mentor who can manipulate ice just like me. She can be a bit of an ice queen, regardless of that I think I can learn a lot from her. Have you managed to control your powers to where you feel easy about using them?" Bobby asked as he looked over at the black haired girl named Raven.

A small giggle of laughter escaped her when bobby told her that his mentor could be an ice queen. He was lucky to have a mentor who had the same power as him. She hadn't meant anyone with the same power as her and doubted if she ever would. A mentor would be so much help. They would be able to tell her why she feels so much anger and hatred when using her powers over the shadows.
"At least you have someone Bobby. I would give my left wing for someone with the same powers as myself who could teach me how to control my powers and answer so many questions I have. And my real name is Kyana but I abandoned that name. It doesn't fit me any more. And no I am even to afraid to use them. The only thing I am comfortable with is flying. refuse to use my other powers until I understand a few things."

Bobby felt sorry she didn't have anyone to help her out with her gift. This place had most every mutant mentor who could help in any situation, but, clearly not for Kyana. "That sucks, and, I am sorry you don't have someone that can help you out. There must be someone with your powers, you just have to ask around. When your in class next time ask about a private tutor, maybe they can help you." It was worth a shot, as it was, flying could only do so much before one had to rely on their powers to get out of a sticky situation.
"By the way, besides flying, what are your powers? It would help if I knew, then maybe I can see if I can find someone to help you out. I've been here pretty long, so, I know a bit of the teaching staff here." Bobby meant it, seeing how when he had first got here Cyclops and Jean were teachers and Storm was still working on getting her wind power under control. He remembered once where she used so much wind he was blown into the pool along with some other students. Though, he would rather keep that story to himself unless facing her wrath was coming at him.

Kyana shrugged, "not much i can do really Prof. X said my powers where unique. Not the wings but my other powers. Maybe some day someone will come along who can help me out. Until than I am pretty much on my own. But I'll ask any way thanks for the help Bobby." Kyana really wanted to find someone who could control the shadows like herself. but has yet to find anyone. Bobby didn't know what a relief it would be to get some help. "Your right there flying can only do so much. But I am afraid of using my other powers. Something happens to me when I do." Crossing her arms Kyana shivered as she though of all the hatred and anger that entered her the last time she used them.
Wanting to tell him her other powers but afraid of the look he might give her when he found out about her secret she hesitated for several minutes. "Well I can control the shadows. And it's more than you think. I can shape them into a force field and use them to wrap around me and hide me. And those are only the two ways I have already used them. There are probably more ways I just haven't discovered them yet." Would Bobby ask to see her powers? She hoped not what if that anger and hatred took over her. Who knows what she might do to bobby.
