New Recruit

A few hours later all the important people in the Brotherhood had been called to a meeting. It was in the normal place, across the hall for Julian's room. Everyone was seated at the table with Erik at the head of the table. To his right was an empty seat then most of the rest of the seats were filled. In the room was Pyro, Gambit, Sabertooth, Colossus, Julian, Emily, Pietro, a woman Julian didn't know as well two men she didn't know. Once everyone was seated and silent Erik stood up "Excuse me everyone. I've called you all here for a good reason." Julian heard the woman mumble something like "Well duh." The woman's accent was German so Julian figured it was the woman she'd heard in the meetings. Erik continued "Normally I don't introduce the new recruits but this time I am. Because she's just as powerful as any of you." The people Julian didn't seem to like the fact that Erik's treating this girl special. It almost seemed like they know who it is. Emily didn't seem to happy either. The rest of them didn't seem to care. Erik raised his hand and the door behind him opened. Show off. Julian thought as he did so. A woman walked into the room. She looked about 20 years old. Her hair was jet black and pulled back into a ponytail holder. It fell down to the top of her shoulder blades. Her eyes were a pale brown, only slightly darker than her tanned skin. She walked over to the empty seat and stood by it. Erik dropped his hand, closing the door. Before anyone could say anything Pietro stood up abruptly "Dad! You can't possibly think I'll work with her!" Erik glared at his son "Sit down son. Whether you like it or not she's with us." Pietro glared at the girl "What's she doing here anyway? You know she can't be trusted." Erik looked at Pietro sternly "Sit down." Pietro sighed and sat down but he was fidgety the rest of the meeting. Erik looked around the room "As I was saying. This is Claudia Mittchel. She's can alter vibrations, much like my niece Julian here." he gestured to the young girl with his hand. Julian felt all the eyes in the room look at her. It made her want to shrink down into her chair but didn't. Erik went on to say "Claudia's real name is Reverb and unless she said otherwise that's what we're to call her. She'll be staying in the room to the left on the far end of the hallway outside. Lastly, to answer Pietro's question as to why she's here. She's here because she's learned that Xavier is lost a dream that will never come true." By the time he'd finished explaining Reverb had taken her seat. The whole while she'd been studying everyone but just from watching her gaze you could tell she was taking interest in Julian. After a while of asking questions about why she's special and what she'll be doing the meeting was dismissed. Everyone went their separate ways, mostly going to their own rooms but Erik took Reverb on a tour of the base.
