"Daddy, please! Just for this one year! I'll be back for winter and spring breaks, and any long weekends that you want me. I'll even skip school and come back I you need me for a mission. Please!" She moved in closer to her father, huge crimson eyes pleading, her lower lip puckered out. "Please daddy. You know I won't do anything bad."
"You really should just let her go, Scott. Its one year, and she'll be back." Ororo Munroe watched the pair from a few seats away. They where all in the sitting room. Scott had been watching TV when his daughter had originally sprung the idea of wanting to leave X Academy for a year to go to a regular school.
After a few seconds, Scott sighed. "Fine. One year, but you have to come back after that. No exceptions. No 'I met a boy, I have to stay another year', nothing! You hear me!" He hugged her tightly. "I can't let you go for much longer than that."
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much daddy!" She hugged him tightly and started looking around in panic. There was only one week left of summer break and if she was going to get unrolled, she would have to do it fast. "Oh god, where am I going to go. Can I go out of state?"
Scott's shoulder's sagged. "Whatever you want."
"I know of a good school in Arizona. I know it's a cross the country but I think she would like it there." Logan's voice sounded from down the hallway and a few seconds later he, too, was in the room.
Despite his undying hate toward his fellow X-Man, Scott had to respect Logan's vast knowledge on the country. He had traveled a lot before he joined the team and seemed to know a lot about every where. "If that's where you want to go, Cam."
"Thank you Daddy!" She hugged him again then raced out of the room, throwing her arms around Logan's middle before exiting.
Ororo only smiled. "You're such a push-over Scott."
"Did you see her face? I couldn't say know! I can't have her hating me."
"She wouldn't have hated you."
"Then apparently you don't know Camille as well as you think you do." Scott stood and headed to the grounds.
Cam entered her dorm room and grabbed a bag from the closet. He had been born at the academy, lived there all her life. She had never known any where else, but that would change in a week. She started to pack some clothes into the bag, grabbed a few books and other things that would be of importance. She just couldn't believe this was actually happening. The fifteen year old mutant was going to public school. It was exactly the opposite of what every other mutant had gone through.
Sense she had lived at the academy sense the day she was born, she had much better control over her powers than most kids her age, so the likelihood of her slipping or having them get out of control was very slim but she packed her uniform in case something happened. She was one of the youngest members of the X-Men team, and that wasn't just because she was Cyclops' daughter. The entire squad was like her family. Sense her mother died in the great HM war, they where all she had. She had grown closest to Ororo and Rogue, and despite her father's deep disapproval, she spent many an hour training and hanging with Logan.
She turned to look at the clock that sat on her bed side table. Nine Fifty-Two, it read. Hmm, it was early, but she could think of nothing else to do so she changed to her night clothes and got into her bed. She stared at the walls for about an hour before finally falling asleep.
