The boy was exhausted after swinging a two hours straight to reach the building. He wasn't used to swinging long distances yet. Before today, the longest distance he swung was to the grocery store to buy some milk. Of course, he was very careful about using his powers in public, and was very careful to avoid being spotted. He shouldn't have refused the car ride his Aunt May offered him.

He wasn't really at the building, per say. There was a fence around the grounds holding the building. Past the gate leading to the grounds was a small road, leading to the building itself. The gate was shut. He was really hoping the gate was open, so he wouldn't have to swing-or climb- over it.

Of course the gates were shut, a little voice in his head thought. It's eight at night. If you didn't stop to use the rest-room in that McDonald's, you probably would've gotten here before they shut the gates.

The boy sighed. He shot a web-line at the top of a tree on the other side of the gate, and began climbing up the web-line. Within seconds, he reached the top of the tree, and jumped down. They're probably going to wonder how I got past the gate, the boy thought.

The boy sighed once more, walked to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and knocked at the door.
