The Greatest Thing ;; Open

[maria valencia]

Maria was out exploring New York. New York the greatest loudest dirtiest city in the world. And here she was. Far from her native fashionable Milan, Maria fit in well with the rich New Yorkers. She wore all Fendi and Prada like she was wearing Target. Maria sighed as she walked through the bright lights of Times Square. This was going to be an adventure she knew it.

_{A beautiful woman named Scarlett McKenzie made her way through the crowds of New York, her eyes alighting on certain people as she popped between them without them noticing, because she was also clothing herself in invisibilty with her little light bending trick. When she came to clearer part she actually let it drop but no one noticed her just appear, it was Times Square. It was then that she noticed the other girl and smiled. "Are you ok?"}

Maria was a little flabbergasted at the fact that some girl had just appeared in front of her. Startled she brought her hand to her mouth feeling that as a defensive mechanism her lips created a coating of poison that resembled a pretty lip gloss. Maria smiled lightly and said, "Just lost." with a faint Italian accent.

_{Scarlett looked at her through dark brown eyes and smiled easily. "Where were you heading? I know New York pretty well..." She admitted as she gave the girl another wide grin. Her accent was that of New Orleans, a beautiful southern lilt. However her appearance didn't fit it. Down her right cheek there ran a long red cut that had been inflicted on her by an attempt on her life, she was still waiting for it to heal.}

Maria took out a peice of paper that had the name of the school she was supposed to be going too. She couldn't say it in English and didn't feel like attempting it. "There." she said handing the girl a peice of paper. God Maria felt like an idoit, helpless little Italian girl alone in New York. She needed friends. That was the one thing she was lacking.

_{Scarlett looked down at the piece of paper that she had been handed and smiled, the girl was looking for Xavier's, the institute that had helped Scar through her hardest time, when she was battered and broken. They had taken her in despite her past with the brotherhood and had coaxed her back to life, now she was wavering with her affiliation, she was thinking of going back to school and learning how to control her ability even more. "You're looking for Xavier's, I can take you there if you want."}

Maria nodded, "Okay." she said with a smile that made her fox like face shine. Xavier Institute, there she'd learn control, even more than she did in her stint in rehab. She'd get better, maybe be able to kiss someone without the fear of killing them. She licked her bottom lip to get the poison off it, not to give away her power.

_{When the girl agreed Scarlett stepped forward and placed a hand on her arm, a gentle touch and the next moment the two of them disappeared from the square and then the next they appeared on the lawns of the Institute. "Welcome home." She grinned.}

Maria smiled her usual coy smile at the girl and extended her hand and spoke with her soft Italian accent, "I'm Maria Valencia, and you are?" she said. Maria looked around, this place was full of temptation. The place was teaming with men, bad. Well at least for a girl like Maria who was one, a flirt and two toxic. If she kissed any of them their lifes would be in danger. Maria sighed, she should've gone to an all girls school.
