Chapter Three

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Theressa asked as she walked around the mansion. It was dark and none of the lights would turn on. She could only guess it was from a power failure but that still didn't answer her question as to where everyone was. She had been through the mansion twice now and couldn't find her daughters, Knole, Nethogent or her father but then in the middle of the hall way appeared a man that she had not seen in months. A man who was a friend and a very good mentor, although Wolverine was her first her mentor and then later found out she was his daughter.

"Xavier?" Theresa asked shielding her eyes for a brief moment because he had just turned on all the lights in the mansion. "What are you doing here? Your suppose to be dead and on second thought where is here?"

In The Med-Lab:

Wolverine ran into the med lab with Theressa in his arms. Jean and Angel were all ready there and all Logan had to do was lay Theresa on the table.

"What happened?" Jean asked beginning to feel for a pulse and found one but it was very weak and didn't know how much longer it was going to last.

"I don't know Jean. I was in the danger room trying to calm Theressa down, we heard Xavier's voice, Warren came in to tell me that you were here and then she just collapsed. I swear Jean if Chuck really is in her and he does anything to her," Wolverine finished his sentence with the popping of his claws.

"Logan, wouldn't it be kind of hard to kill a guy who's all ready dead?" Angel asked helping Jean hook Theressa up to an ivy. He was really worried as was every one else about Theressa but he knew somehow that Theressa would make it through this road block in her life. He didn't know how he knew but he just knew and that gave him peace.

Game Room:

Andi, Storm, Beast, Knole, Nethogent, Mian and Chelsea where in the Game room when, Knole said to his Fiance, as he fliped threw the Tv channels,

"Andi I'm sure every thing is going to be all right."

"Knole, my mom's heart is very weak and Xavier could be in her head. How can any of that be okay?"

"I just don't get it," Mian said looking up at Andi, "Why would Professor Xavier do this to mom in the first place?"

"What do you mean?" Andi asked her twin sister.

"Well, think about it, mom was one of his prized pupils and was respected by the students and loved by everyone. Why would he pick her and put her through this. Has he turned evil? Did he ever really like mom and what is he hated her and now this is just away to get back at her? What if…."

"What if the sky rained fish and the ocens caught on fire?" a man standing in the door way said. The three young mutants jumped at the sound of the familiar voice. Andi and Mian's face light up as they saw Scott Summers walk into the room.

"Uncle Cyke!" Mian said running over to him with her arms open wide as if she were a three year old running to her father for a hug. The girls had always called Scott 'Uncle Cyke'. They didn't know why but now it was a habit that no one was going to break.

"Hey girls." Scott said giving both girls a big bear hug. Knole walked over and shock hands with Cyclops.

"How are you dong, young man?" Scott asked Knole

"I'm fine, never been better actually. How about yourself?"

"Not bad."

"Cyclops." Storm said jumping off of the sofa and embracing Scott in her arms and Beast gave him a hand shake.

"What on earth are you doing her, good man?" Beast asked in his intelegent voice that he always talked with. It was a voice that would make the great minds of the world scared to speek in front of him.

"Yeah, Cyke," Andi said "Why are you here?"

"Jean wanted me to come down with her. She needs to help your mom and I thought we could go do something while this is going on. I've never liked waiting rooms, or any room when you have to wait for something or someone. What if we went out for a burger and fries. Does that sound all right?"

"Sure why not. We could all use a bit of fresh are." Storm said as Beat and Chelsea nodded

"Yeah, I guess." Knole said rubbing his gut.

Mian and Andi looked at each other and nodded their heads. They agreed that going out would do them some good, instead of waiting in here.

"Great, let's roll.

Theressa's mind:

Xavier smiled his usually gental smile and said, "My dear child, this is your mind. Right now you have an image of the Mansion but you know that you can go any where you wish in your mind. There are no limits, no bounders. You are in a sence free of everything the world restricts you from."

"Xavier I know all that but why are you here? I thought you died back when Renee took your powers?"

"No, I, my soul was not dead only my body. I was transferred to Renee and then you…."

"Then I fought for what I thought were your powers but it was actually you."

"Exactly."

"But why did you chose me?" Theressa asked knowing that Jean was a much more talented telepath than she and could have handled the extra power just as well.

"Because you were the only one who was willing to take the extra power. Jean has all ready had a taste of ultimate power and never wishes to feel it again, although telepathic abilities are far from the ultimate power of the Phoenix but you get my point."

"What do you want from me?" Theressa finally asked feeling that Xavier was dancing around the problem.

"I want you to stop resisting me, Theressa. Ever since I entered your body, your subconcesne has repressed me as if I were an old book just thrown up on the shelf and forgotten about with time."

"Why didn't you try and contact me before? You know telepathically?"

"Because I was too weak from going between my body, Renee's and then yours . Then once I regained my strength, you wouldn't allow me to communicate with you although you may not have noticed it."

"So the telepathic leaks that I've been having from time to time was you trying to talk to me?" Theressa asked

"Yes, that was me, at first."

Med-Lab:

"Jeannie, how's she doing?" Logan asked as he came back into the room. Theressa had been out for several hours now. The kids were now in bed and Scott was on his way down to the med lab and Angel was in the kitchen eating. Jean had sent Logan out of the room three hours ago when he wouldn't stop making threats to kill Xavier, which would be imposable considering that he is currently in Theressa's body.

"Well, her heart rate is the same as before but she has a lot of brain activity. I'm beginning to think that Xavier is talking with her."

"Why'd he make her pass out?"

"I haven't figured that out yet but if I can't figure it out in the next twenty minutes, then I'm going into Theressa's mind."

"Would that be safe?"

"Yeah, for me and Xavier but for Theresa it might accelerate her brain activity and there is no way to know for sure what would happen. If I make a new link and connect it to Theresa's mind, we should be all right because then I would be able to carry some of the burden of having Xavier in your head, for Theressa."

"Do what you have to do." Logan said patting Jean on the shoulder and sitting on the bed across from the on Theressa was lying on.

Theressa's Mind:

"Xavier, what do you want me to do?" Theressa asked because there, to her knowledge, was nothing anyone could do to get Xavier out of her head. As far as she knew she would have to live the rest of her life with her former professor, she didn't want to but she had no choice in the matter.

"Don't worry, Theressa." Xavier said coming closer and putting his hand on her cheek. "Every thing you need to know is all ready at your disposal." Theressa closed her eyes and a single tear escaped and hit Xavier's hand.

"I've missed you, Charles." Theressa said trying with all her might to hold back the tears.

"I know you have but I'm here now, you now know it, so go and do what you must."

Med-Lab:

Jean and Logan were in the Med Lab watching over Theressa when suddenly her eyes flew open and she sat up grasping for air.

"Theressa, you all right?" Jean asked checking all her friend's vital signs and saw that they had all returned to normal.

"Yeah…Yeah…I'm fine." Theressa said in between breaths. "A little spooked but I'll be fine."

"T, what happened?" Wolverine asked Theressa not allowing her off the bed even though he knew she wanted to leave.

"I saw him, Logan. He's here." Theressa said pointing to her head. "He's not dead and he never died. You see, Renee not only took his powers but his soul as well. Therefore when I won Xavier's powers in the telepathic battle against Renee, I gained Xavier himself and allowed him into my body."

"Yeah, that's what we thought was happening."Jean replied to the information she all ready knew.

"Was Chuck talking with you?" Logan asked

"Yeah."

"Did he say what he wanted?" Jean asked knowing that Charles would have told Theressa all she needed to know with out actually telling her. That was just the way of Charles Frances Xavier. No one person knew why he worked in this manner but simply knew that he did and accepted it and had not choice but that now.

"Yeah, he did." Theressa looked at Jean and then back at her father and said, 'He wants me to contact the Shi'ar."
