I can't believe I'm doing this. I wonder if he really knows what he's talking about or if he just studies the science of it. I don't know how to approach him. Should I just ask him questions, or should I show him my power. I don't really know what's common for people like me. I haven't found any others until possibly now. Should I ju---
"Hello, I'm Professor Charles Xavier, Can I help you?"
"Umm, I'm Alexis Byrch. I found your speech very interesting. Do you really think that people could be so cruel as to discriminate against these people, not to mention stupid. If someone had special abilities why would you go up against them?"
"I believe that there might just be reason why. When people feel threatened or that someone has an advantage over them, they often feel that they must fight back. There's no logical reason for it except human instinct."
"Do you truly believe that people will have powers that will affect people that much? This seems like comic book type situatio--"
Attention all students, classes resume in five minutes!
The professor looked at Alexis, deciding if there was mere curiosity behind her eyes, or a thirst to know more. He hadn't come there on a whim. He knew that somewhere in the school there was a student with special abilities. He was unaware as to what type of powers, but he knew someone was there. Judging on the fact that none of the other students seemed to be paying attention, he decided that this girl was worth taking a chance on.
"Alexis, I and some of my colleagues will be here after school if you would like to further our discussion."
"That would be great. I would really like to hear other peoples' opinions on this." Alex left for her next class, not regretting that she had stopped to talk to the professor.
"Storm, I believe that I've found the student we're looking for. If you could come and bring a few students with you."
Charles Xavier contemplated the possibilities of what he was about to do. He had been looking for new students. He often enjoyed introducing himself. His favorite part of finding new students was the look that appeared on their faces when they realize that they have another chance and that they aren't the only ones. Charles normally had a feeling of warmth about him when he found new pupils. Some were a little more difficult such as Kitty, with cautious or mistrusting parents. This occasion reminded him of trying to befriend Rogue. There was an essence of danger with the girl. She appeared normal, but not even her beauty and seemingly average exterior could hide her rugged instinct. He sensed that danger accompanied her.
