During her work at the university, Faye kept telling Tom to hold Daniel down, to use his powers to put up barriers and fake memories, and to keep an eye on the Professor; if he tried anything, Tom was to put up a detour of memories as if she was a bit tired and confused. Tom kept reassuring her that nothing was going to go wrong, but he was still worried and made sure that everything was prepared.
Faye left the university at around five in the afternoon, they didn't have much work because she was still new and still getting used to everything. She headed to the park where she said she'd meet Scott.
As she came to the park, she spotted Scott's car waiting for her.
"Hi, I didn't know I was late. My watch needs work," she said, ignoring a string of witty remarks that flashed on the watch.
"Oh, you're not late, I kind of got here early. I was telling the Professor about you and now he wants to meet you. I told him that you were in the Science program, helping a new student at the local university, and that you got into it while you were in Canada..."
"I told you.... you were telling him too much" interrupted Scott's ranting about her accomplishments.
*Hush, Tom,* she thought.
A little face with its tongue sticking out came up on her watch.
*Very mature.*
"....oh, there's Logan," said Scott pointing toward the figure that approached them in a bike.
She turned fast and stared at Logan. He stopped his bike and took his helmet off, staring at Jade with suspicion.
"Whatcha kids doin' here?" asked Logan.
"This is Jade Fey, Logan. She's the new girl I was telling everyone about."
"Nice to meet you," said Jade reaching her hand and bowing slightly.
She sensed his disgust as he scoffed her hand and pulled his helmet back on his head.
"Is he always that way?" asked Jade looking after Logan's speeding bike.
"Pretty much," said Scott. "Let's go, we have to get to the Institute."
She nodded and allowed Scott to lead her to his car. They left.

"Thank you for coming at my request," said Jeff as the figure approached him from behind.
"It was kind of unexpected," said a gruff voice.
"I'm sure you might remember me from the attack, but please don't be angry. None of us did mean to hurt anyone. Do allow me to explain how things are."
"Well, ya better."
"First of all, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Logan. My real name is Jeff, I use the alias Henry, the Great, for the circus, and the codename Myst was given to me by Faye. However, I'm better known as Rat. I give out information to people who needs them. I've been dealing with Faye for a while now."
"Yeah, likewise I'm sure. Now what's this all about?"
"It's about betrayal," said Jeff walking towards a nearby bench.
"Again?"
"I see you have been betrayed by Faye before. She did betray us when we attacked the Institute; only now I understand why."
"Will she betray me again?" asked Logan, tiredly.
"Not her exactly, but someone will betray her. I wanted to contact her personally but I couldn't, so I turned to you."
"Ya did the right thin'. I don't know what I can do but I'm gonna try."
"Don't tell her anything right away. I know Faye despises being helped, so I just want you to keep a look out for her."
"How do you know this?"
"I just do. The others don't know it yet, but I'm always trying to be prepared. Someone contacted me, someone wanted to make sure that Faye pulls out of this in one piece. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
He was about to hit his leg on a trash can, so Logan tried to pull him away, but he had already moved out of its path.
"What are yer powers exactly?" asked Logan.
"I can use my imagination to know exactly how things around me are, I can also use it to make things move or appear. It's rather useful, that's why she requested my help back in California."
"Why was she there?"
"I have no idea. She said she was recruiting people to form a troupe that was going to be taken to New York, pretend one attack and then left alone. I was alone, much like the others, so I agreed. It was something to do, plus she did something to me and I couldn't resist."
"Daniel and his powers. She uses that sometimes."
"So I learned. What is Daniel?"
"Hard ta explain. He lives inside her and sometimes takes over her conscious to do all sorts of bad stuff. He's not someone ya'd trust"
"Huh, that's interesting. I will find out everything about her some other time, but right now I can't tell too much because I know I'm being watched. All I wanted to add was be careful. There's something big coming."
"What is it?"
"I can't say."
"Ye're just like Faye, can't ever trust anyone."
"I'm being pressured not to tell. I can't stay too long, please take care of Faye. I really do love her, even though last time we saw each other, I didn't show it much."
"I will. Ya be careful too."
Jeff nodded and left him alone with his thoughts.

"Professor, this is Jade Fey," said Scott, showing the smiling girl to the Professor.
She scanned the man in the wheelchair. She hadn't really remembered him from that night, she really had to come in and get out. He was really a simple man, but she didn't want to take her chances; she knew what he was capable of and didn't want to be caught unprepared. He was silent for a moment. She knew what his silence meant: he was scanning her mind. When he smiled, she breathed a little easier.
"Nice to meet you Ms. Fey," said Professor Xavier.
"Please call me Jade. It's really a pleasure, I heard a lot about you from Scott."
"Scott is one of our exceptional students. I also have heard a lot about you, Scott tells me you're in the Genetics program of our local university."
"Yes, that is true. I'm an assistant actually, I help one of their new students, her name is Sakura. I actually asked her to be her assistant and she said that I could hang around as long as the school didn't find out. I'm a bit scared, but Sakura reassured me that the Head of the Science Department was okay with it."
"I see, I don't think I've ever met Sakura but I do know the Head of the Science Department. He's a very nice person. He has phoned me, actually, and told me about their newest addition. She joined them around the same time you transferred to Bayville High," said Xavier, scanning her mind. He was very suspicious of her, but he couldn't find anything on her whole mind that gave him an edge.
"So I heard," Jade said without changing tones. "What a coincidence, isn't it?"
"So it is, very much," said Scott.
"I'm sorry, I can't stay much longer but I have lots of things to do still. It was very nice to meet you," said the Professor.
She shook the Professor's hand and smiled.

"So what do you think?" asked Faye.
"I don't know. He was very suspicious," answered Tom. "I had a hard time rerouting everything to fit into perfect memories."
"I'm not too sure if he bought it."
"I hope he did. I did my best."
"I know, I just hope that won't be a problem. We still have much to do....," she trailed off as her communicator beeped.
She opened the little communicator; it was black and square, it opened like a book, both sides had screens. One side was to write messages and the other was to view them. The signal was established, Logan had put in the chip.
*What's wrong?* thought Faye. *I thought he would never establish that damn signal. What does he want?*
"Hi," wrote Faye.
"Hi," came back as an answer.
The sky started getting dark, Faye got worried because she had to go to her post on top of the mansion. But she shrugged and waited for his response.
"So...." she wrote, getting impatient.
"I heard you were here today."
"Heard or smelled?"
"Both"
She smiled.
"And...?"
"I was wondering why you were here."
"I know. You've asked me that before, but you know I can't tell you."
"Yeah, I know."
"Anything else?"
"Actually, yes. What are you doing Saturday?"
Faye started cracking up.
*Typical,* she thought as she smiled.
