Glitch (Isabella 'Izzi' Devaux) (Earth-4976)/History

== Origins ==
Isabella Devaux was born in a small country town in British Columbia, Canada, to Lydia and Peter Devaux. They weren’t the richest, but they weren’t the poorest either. Lydia and Peter did their absolute best in raising their young daughter, and always promised to be by her side no matter what.
Isabella developed her teleportation powers at the age of 11; she discovered this as she found herself on top of the dining table while trying to finish her homework in her bedroom, in which her parents also found out that she was a mutant as they were also in the dining room about to prepare the table for dinner.
This revelation caused her parents a great scare, unable to face their daughter in the moment now that she was one of ‘them’. Despite this, it seemed as though Isabella enjoyed her newfound powers, even if it was hard to get a handle on at first. Both Lydia and Peter knew they couldn’t let Isabella down. They continued to love her and treat her like she normally was.
When Isabella was 14, while helping her father fix the fuse box to their home, it started to malfunction, nearly electrocuting her father. She tried to teleport him out to safety, but ended up taking the brunt of the electrocution mid-jump. She ultimately saved her father, almost dying in the process. She was bedridden for weeks; in the 4th week, Isabella was almost already fully healed up. Both her and her parents realized that the electrocution triggered a second mutation in her DNA, being able to heal a lot faster than the average human.
3 years later, Lydia and Peter had decided to move Isabella to a place called Xavier’s School for the Gifted Youth in New York, knowing that the people there would have a much better time honing her powers than they could themselves, despite knowing next to nothing about teaching their daughter such abilities. Although they had heard the tragedies that had struck within the mutant populace, her parents, and Isabella herself, were confident that they were still around, and while it was a risk, they all knew Isabella’s future is a lot bigger than any of them could have imagined.
== New School, Same Old Me ==
=== First Day ===
Isabella and her parents arrived at Xavier's School for the Gifted Youth after getting a taxi from the John F. Kennedy International Airport; the family almost missed their flight due to Peter sleeping in, but managed to make their flight nonetheless. Isabella was ecstatic now that she was going to a school who are just like her. She knocked on the front doors, mumbling to herself that she was going to make her parents proud while her eyes were closed. She ended up embarrassing herself in front of her parents and an answering Yoru Howlett. The introductions were a little rocky after making an intentional harsh comment to Lydia whilst Isabella was continuously going off on tangents. Things were quickly settled, however.
Yoru gave them a quick tour around the school before making their way to the Headmaster's office, which belonged to the current head of the school, Emma Frost. After looking through her desk, he found enrolment papers from Isabella to sign. Isabella then hugged her parents goodbye before she went off to find a dorm for herself, also declaring that she'll see him around as she left.
During the time she spent exploring the Mansion on her own, Isabella met two other students: Sunny, a boy with similar teleporting powers to her own, and Lexi, along with her pet wolverine, Adam.
=== Along Came A Pseudo-Spider ===
While Isabella searched for a dorm to place her belongings, she was accidentally bumped into by a boy wearing a suit similar to New York's resident superhero, Spider-Man. She glitched to a stable position on her feet in case she fell over. Apologising immediately after, Isabella couldn't help but notice what the boy was wearing, inspecting his offshoot costume, which stunk. The boy introduced himself as 'Dillon', a name Isabella wasn't convinced was really his. She ordered him to go take a shower, and would wait for several minutes so that she would go with him to the library. She quickly grew bored by then, going off to find her dorm.
Later in the day after hanging out with Lexi and Adam for a brief time, Isabella went out on her own to explore what New York has to offer. While walking through the streets, Isabella heard a gunshot ring out not far from where she was. Without a second thought, she ran immediately to where it came from, finding a mother and her son held at gunpoint by a larger man in a dark alleyway.
Before she could do anything, something took the man off his feet; the boy she met earlier in the day, 'Dillon', the fake Spider-Man. She witnessed a brutal beatdown by the boy, who stopped after realising that he was going to eventually kill the man. The boy, noticing that Isabella was present, leapt up onto the building that surrounded one half of the alleyway. Isabella then attempted to follow suit by glitching from wall to wall until she got to the building the boy was presumably at. As practice, she leapt from one side of the wall to the dumpster on the other side. Ecstatic at this new skill, Isabella put them to the test, leaping from one side of the wall to the other via glitch teleportation 5 times. However, by the time she went for her 6th one, fatigue caught up to her, causing her to slip and fall.
The chase nearly resulted in her death, but was saved by the timely intervention of 'Dillon', who shot two lines of web at her, catching her just before she hit the ground. After being pulled up onto the rooftop, she collapsed to the ground and rested against the ledge wall, shaking, hyperventilating and unable to think when the boy began to fall apart in front of her, explaining to Isabella that he was a murderer. During his breakdown, the boy revealed his face to her, as well as his name: Rowan Reece.
Isabella snapped out of it once he revealed himself to her; she stood up, still shaking from her near-death experience, but nonetheless had the strength to stand and walk towards him before collapsing in his arms. In actuality, Isabella gave him a hug, comforting him as best as she could and allowing Rowan to release the emotions he had bottled up inside. Isabella promised to him that after they got back to the Mansion, she would make him a cup of hot chocolate.
