Eclipse aka Natalie Astral

Natalie stood with her arms outstretched. Soaking in the sunlight. she could feel each breeze disrupt the light, hear each blade of grass blocking the waves of light. She let the light flow into her, and felt herself change into what she held most dear, the sunlight.

Something moved the light. A car. 3 people stepped out of it. She opened her eyes and the connection broke, she became flesh and blood once again.

She smiled as she turned around. "Hello, what are you doing here?"

"Natalie, my name is Professor Charles Xavier." Said the bald man in a wheelchair.

"Hello Professor Xavier, how do you know my name?" Natalie already knew all about them, the light had told her. The one in the glasses was Scott Summers, sometimes Cyclops. He had optic blasts that came from his eyes and he could not control it. The girl with red hair was named Jean Grey, she had telekinesis and telepathy. Professor Xavier was a very strong telepath who took it upon himself to teach mutants how to use their powers.

"I, like you, have special abilitys. I can read minds." He sat back in his chair, his fingers laced together.

"Yes, I already knew that, but I was under the impression that you did not enter someone's head unless you had permission."

"Oh, well when I scan for new mutants it brings up a name along with a picture of the person using a power, so I did not really enter your head to get your name."

Natalie tilted her head slightly, indicating it was alright.

"Anyway, Natalie, I would like to invite you to come to my school and learn how to more fully use your power. Unfortunatly, Cerebro does not let me know your power, if you could be so kind as to tell me what it is."

She smiled again. "Professor, I do not need training for my power. I have mastered it. But it does not belong to me, I belong to it, remember that. I would like to come and stay in your school, thank you for inviting me. As for my power. Light."

"Light?" He asked clearly confused.

"Yes, light. Anything Light can do, I can do. I can even do things light cannot do, but that is only because I can shape it." To emphasize her point she created a bird in her hand, a phoenix, out of light.

"Woah." Scott said.

"What exactly can light do?" The professer questioned.

"I can become light, travel with light, see with light, hear with light. Everytime you move, you disrupt the light. I can see that, or more I can feel that. I can feel you speaking also, I do not need ears to hear. I can become darkness. I can create shadows. I can do many things, not all of which are pleasent."

The professor smiled at her. "Thank you for sharing this with me. I greatly appreciate it. Would you like to see the mansion where you will be living now?" He wheeled around toward the can that brought them.

"I would love too." She followed him. Scott helped the Professor into the car and Jean got in the drivers seat.

They drove off, leaving the feild behind them.
