You were a mutant and had been invited by Professor Charles Xavier to stay at his "School for Gifted Youngsters". You went to your first class still not sure about your surroundings. Just then you see a girl sitting beside you wearing long white gloves and seemingly irritated about it. Upon asking her what the gloves are for, she notices you and explains
