Finally, it's fixed, I think. For whatever reason, Chapter 2 was being uploaded, sans spacing when I was trying to update this a lot. I thins,k I did a good job, though. I updated both Scarred and Angelus Noctis, and started a Deathnote fanfic today. Now I just need to keep drinking my weight in water... /random info I'm still a review addict, so it'd be great if you guys posted something in the review for me. :)

The male in black sat upon one log by the fire, his sister looking at the older men near them - or well, two older males and one asbout the same age, more or less.

"So, you guys are the voices in my head? " Alida grinned happily. "Glad to see I'm not entirely crazy."

Lance looked up from the fire momentarily. "Not entirely, anyways."

Alida smild again and then sat down. She untied her boots. She would much rather have her feet in the grass than in hot boots. It was one of a couple things she and her brother had in common. "So, what did you want us to meet you here for? We have an actual house, you know."

Kurt had been wondering the same thing for a while. His answer was still a long way away, though. At least, that's what he figured. He didn't really know for sure if he'd ever get an explanation at all.

Xavier smiled kindly at the twins. "We come with an offer for you both. There is a school we started for unique individuals, much like yourself. A computer there which we call Cerebro detected that you have those unique talents. We'd like the both of you to go there with us."

Lance looked up from the fire again, speaking. "That sounds great, but our parents would never agree to that."

Alida felt a little bummed out. "Yeah, probably not."

A small, sure look came to Logan's face. "Whoever said that your parents had to know? You two are big kids now. You can make some of your own decisions."

Kurt grumbled. Seriously, this was so against everything that Xavier had tried to teach the X-men. What about honesty? What about values, morals, and all that? Aye… What were the professor and Mr. Logan thinking? Kurt was sure he almost would have preferred another punishment. Was this a test of his morals?

"We'll go."

Wait, what? Kurt knew he'd missed something while he was having problems wrapping his head around the situation.

But the two he had come with seemed both happy and relieved, somehow. It was then that Kurt came to the realization that the air had been very thick and tense among them only minutes earlier. Why was that?

Even Alida seemed like she was caught off guard. She knew, of all people, that her brother rarely made such a clear, sure decision. What sparked this change in him?

Professor X thought to answer her question, but thoguth that perhaps that might be a reason which Lance did not want to share. He did seem like a particularly guarded type of person.

But finally Xavier spoke a few words to Kurt. "Kurt, I'd like you to teleport these two back home, then head back to the airport so we can take them back to the institute."

Kurt decided that it was better to not ask questions and nodded, taking their hands. It's not like he was going to get answers. Before either of the twins really even knew what was going on, they stood at their front door. Lance coughed; having inhaled some of the smoke. Kurt hadn't exactly warned them about it. Alida pat his back until he was better. Then they punched the code to the security system in, and walked inside. Alida hooked arms with Kurt. "Come on and help me with packing. You know girls carry all kinds of stuff." Kurt laughed a little and Alida smiled. The three went upstairs to pack. Kurt and Alida together and packing, and Lance alone in his own room down the hall.
