"I fear what I offer is another school Brian. But it will be a lot more interesting than any you visited before.
And we will try to sort it out with your parents, why would you think they don't care there you are?"

It's not that they don't care, but my folks never were too thrilled by the way I looked before and they will totally freak out when they see me now. You offer them a school where I will be out of their hair and they will snap it up in a second. Brian snaps his fingers to emphasize his point.

Me, personally I don't care. One school is pretty much like the next, but hey I can get into some fights and not get into trouble for it all the better He tells the professor with a smile.

"And even worse for you, I didn't even get to know you. But I hope you will come by for a visit too. And again, if you got trouble or Xavier's school isn't what you imagined just come back.
...
Now let's move, goodbyes allways hurt and maybe a new life awaits you down there. Just take care that you come back in once piece, that school aiin't so far away afterall."

"I will come back and visit, and I hope you come and visit us too. Thank you, Danny, for everything that you have done for me. I do not know what I would have done if I had not met you and Brandon," she felt quite sad, as if she was saying goodbye to a very close friend. "And... be careful, at the asylum. They don't like visitors..."

He also asked me to help on that mission too. I'm sorry to leave you on your own but I think you can handle it. I will go to that asylum tonight." He claps you one the shoulder. "You know you can always come back. And if you don't come over for dinner now and again Misty will kill me so either you come on your own or I'll drag you in a bag."

“Thanks, Danny, that means a lot,” Brandon replied with sincerity. “I don’t really know what would have happened with me if you hadn’t come along when you did. I’ll always consider you a great friend and I’ll come running whenever you need . . . and tell Misty goodbye for me please. I’ll come back for a visit as soon as we get back . . . and if she wants, maybe I can bring Angela with me.”

Brandon nodded at Danny’s last comment and jogged to his room. He stuffed his costume, few clothes (mostly USC logo sweats, shirts and pants) and his music into his sea bag. A quick stop in the bathroom to get the rest, and Brandon was done in under five minutes.

“Well, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. I’ll try and remember . . . Concentration, Focus, Strength in mind and body,” Brandon commented, repeating some of Danny’s teachings that got him as far as he was.

He looked to Angela to see if she was ready as well. If so, he walked with her to the limo and to their future.

"I just hope that Charles guy can take care of this as you say. I dont like to steal a car."

"I don't either Frank," she says appologetically. "But we need to get out of here," she adds, tearing off the bottom half of her shirt to staunch Mystique's bleeding. "And we need to get her out of here. I don't want to think what would happen if we just left her here. Charles will take care of it, or I will."

"Do you think that superman rip-of girl from before will get attracted to this scene if she's still around?"

"I don't know, Frank, but," she says, slipping her arms under Mystique and picking the unconscious woman up as carefully as possible, "hopefully not before we get out of here." She tries to remain calm in the face of the crowd, working her way quickly towards the car. "Excuse me. Could you move? She needs to get to a hospital. It's just makeup," she says as she goes to the vehicle.

She puts Mystique in the back seat, takes off her coat and covers the woman with it. "I doubt a normal hospital will treat you properly," she says to Mystique, not sure if the woman can even hear her. "So I'm taking you to get treatment somewhere safe."

"Get in, Frank. I'll drive," she says, hopping in the driver seat. Once he's in, she' puts the car in gear and drives off, intent on heading back to the school.

"Well, let us see about that. Maybe they will care more in the end."

He smiles then he considers the young mutant. He would learn how to fight but somehow he doubts that he will like the rest of the learning that comes with it.
A lot of work but I can't say I did not expect it.

Together the whole group drives to Westchester and Flex parks the car in front of the main entrance. Xavier gives all of you a tour through the mansion (at least the official parts) and also shows you your rooms. These are a lot bigger than you would have ever expected, you could easily put Danny's whole apartment into one of them.
Xavier looks very surprised and talks with Felx about some other student he would have expected to be here but doesn't worry too much.
Everyone has a chance to shower, get comfortable and generaly sniff through the school to decide if he likes the place.
The Professor promises that he will tell you more about the mission then some other guests he expects have arrived and of course offers you to stay if you want to participate in it or not.

Mistress Mind: Human/Female (PL8)

Mistress Mind looks coldly at the cop but doesn’t do anything to hinder him in anyway, “I have no need for your coat, but thanks. Cuff him and have someone detain him, I have no desire to trade blows with him again.”

Mistress Mind quietly agrees to fallow the cop to check upon Alicia…

"Don't worry, you'll eat half a dozen soldiers for breakfast if you train with us. They couldn't even make me sweat.
But that's just one more reason to stay calm, it really isn't my day."
He smiles at your apology like he never considered it was your job to help and comes with you to greet you parents.

He tells them mostly the same things he did you, inviting them to look at the place themself and have a talk with Professor Xavier himself before they decide anything.

"I'm sorry that he didn't come himself, he was away then the call came and so I just went to chek it out myself. It was not exactly easy to get your grandfather to tell me what's going on after he heard that the Professor isn't home."

After seeing firsthand Langford's methods of persuasion, Jake knows he wants to go with Scott and visit Xavier's school.

"I'm in, and as much as I would like to stay for the show tonight, I think the best thing I can do is to head up there now with you."

Looking at his parents, Jake sees a little nervousness in his mother's eyes and tries to calm her down some.

"Relax mom, I'm going to a school, not off to war. I'm pretty sure the worse thing that could happen is me pulling something working out."

His smile growing as his excitement burns away the nervousness and fear, Jake looks over to Scott and asks the million dollar question.

"When do we leave?"

"How about now?"

After a few more minutes of talk, exchanging phone numbers and calming your mom you find yourself inside Scott's car and on the way to Xavier's school.

None of the three newest students have really settled in then even more arrive.
Brian is the first to notice the sports car driving right to the front door and sees a young man with dark red shades and a really tall other guy get out. They leave the car standing right there and it surerly looks out of place beside the fountain as they walk in.

The entrance hall:
Brandon just found out there the kitchen is and is on his way back to the room Xavier gave him then suddenly the door flies open and Cyclops bumps into him. Startled he lifts his hand threatengly to his sunglasses (of course that looks a bit stupid for anyone not knowing his power).

"Who the hell are you?"

Xavier's school

The school was huge, and Angela took it all in with wide eyes as they were given the tour. She was not entirely sure if she could find her way around on her own. But, on the bright side, the school was much more invitng than the asylum had been.

After she had had the chance to settle in, Angela decided to take a look around, to try and get her bearings. She wandered around, at first trying to find either Brandon or Brian, but if unable to find them, then she would concentrate simply on not getting lost.

Angela quikly looses her way in the building and after walking a while she suddenly finds herself in front of a huge silver elevator. The strangest thing is that it opened right out of a bookshelf then she leaned against it.
It has only three control buttons and only one makes sense to you.
