Finally, I got this section done! I might have David Xavier and Lucas come to battle the guys who are crushin' on 'Taru. Hey, I just might do that.


Kurt teleported her into Xavier's office where the telepath was sitting behind his desk, waiting for her.

"Thank you, Kurt. I'll take it from here." Kurt nodded and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek before disappearing in a sulfur cloud. "Please, Hotaru, have a seat."

"Is there something wrong, Professor Xavier?" Hotaru took a seat in front of his desk, wondering what the wheel-chair resident wanted. "Did I do something against the rules? If I did, I'm really sorry! Miss Grey was going too fast and her mind was conflicting with her aura and I was getting mixed messages! I just copied English from Nii-san, l-like you taught me to and his English isn't complete, s-s-so…"

Xavier held up his hand. "I understand that you and Jean aren't getting along as well as I had hoped. I had thought she would've taken you under her wing like she had with the other new female mutants. This conflict was not foreseen."

Hotaru bowed her head. "I'm sorry, Professor. I've tried-really I have. It's just, Miss Grey doesn't seem to like me."

"I'm afraid your father picked up on that." Xavier nodded once. "He dragged Scott up here and told me in holographic person."

"Papa's just a little protective of me because I'm all that's left of the man he used to be." The Silent Senshi told the bald psychic. "Keiko Tomoe was a real person at one time. Mystique took her place for the 9 plus months I was a baby. She let Keiko take her proper place just a few years before she died. I maybe her biological daughter but she's no mother of mine."

Xavier knew the look on her face. She despised Mystique and even the fact that she was her daughter. Sharing genetics was bad enough for the girl sitting in front of Xavier.

"Hotaru, why don't you came with me?" Xavier came out from behind his desk. "I have a surprise for you."
