Chapter 2

He must be a good man to do such a kind thing. I should meet him. Xavier smiled.

Here's your chance because there he is. The whole group turned to see a man about 40 years old standing at the door looking in on all the students. He smiled when he saw the adults and began to walk over to greet the new arrivals.

Hello everyone. I trust that everything has been good while I was at work, the old man said. All of the people who knew him nodded. Good. I also see we have guests. Let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Edward Duncan. It's nice to meet you. Welcome to my school. I hope that someone has given you some details?

Xavier smiled, Yes, Doctor Duncan, I am Professor Xavier. We have had a small tour as well as some details. I still have many questions I would like to ask you. I also own a school. I only have mutants in it for that is what my school is for.

Well I am glad you would like to know more. It has now gotten dark and if you'd like you may stay here for the night. You may also come to my office later and ask your questions.

That would be nice. I think we will take you up on that offer.

Good, I'll have Terri show you all to your rooms. If you want you can meet some of the students. Feel free to roam the school. If you have any questions please ask me or some one else. They all nodded and the Doctor left.

Terri looked around and noticed that all plates were empty. Well would you like to be shown your rooms. They all nodded. All right. Bring your plates and follow me. She got up with her plate and walked off to the kitchen to drop it off in the dishwasher. They all followed. And she led them up stairs to their rooms. Xavier was taken by Rebecca to the elevator in the back of the house. They all met on the second floor.

Young children were running around. The X men figured they were getting ready for bed. It was almost eight and they were in PJ's. One little boy, Paly, was chasing Samara who had his dinosaur toothbrush. Terri stopped her and gave Paly his toothbrush back. and she quickly put Samara in her room. How do you have enough energy to keep up with them? Jean asked.

Terri smiled, I wonder myself. Here are your rooms. There can be 2 to 4in each room. She stopped at a group of six rooms. They soon spread out. Rogue, kitty, and Jubilee began to enter one of the six rooms and Terri stopped them. Sorry that's my room. My room is down here with the children because I'm a major caretaker for them so Duncan said I should be near them incase danger comes to the mansion. The other five are your rooms.

The three girls spotted the other five and took the room across the hall. Xavier took the room next to Terri's. Remy, Bobby, and John took the room next to the girls. The next room down from Terri, the one on the other side of Xaviers was taken by Jean and Scott. The last room was taken by Wolverine. All of them went to the rooms and went straight to bed. They were stuffed from the meal they had had and were amazed with how good it had tasted. Xavier rolled back out of his room and went to Terri.

Is everything all right with your room? she asked. She was hanging up her trench coat and removing her fingertipless gloves and placing them on her desk.

No, nothing. I was told I would be able to speak with your Doctor.

Sure. I can tell you were he is or you can wait till I get these rascals into bed, she motioned her hand toward the kids in the hall way.

I'll wait. I also wouldn't mind learning more about you.

Well what do you want to know. She had her black leather pants on still and white tank top. She also had taken off her boots and black socks and her feet were bare.

How'd you get here? You must have a past or something to be here right? This is a home for runaways.

Yes, I do.

Well, you don't have to tell me if...

No it's ok. I'm one of the few here who don't mind talking about it. She brushed her hair and began to french braid it. I was born in New York. I had three older brothers. We were all four years apart. My mom died at my birth and my dad started drinking. I was put into an orphanage when I was three when they put my dad into a hospital. I was adopted and I never saw my brothers again. I ran away when I was 8 and that's when I met Lily. She saved me from some street thugs. She was also blind. She taught me how to defend my self and how to control my powers when I got them. I was 13 then. When she died I ran some more. I started to join gangs but left when I saw a small girl get beaten up by my own gang because she was a mutant. I began to help kids who were getting hurt and one day helped a kid from this school. Dr. Duncan asked me to stay and I agreed. she finished her braid and tied it at the end.

Well that's interesting. I have many students who have good and bad pasts. They can all understand. He knew there was something missing in her heart. Probably something she doesn't want to tell me' he thought, but shook it off when she stood up.

Well, lets see to the children. It'll take me about half an hour to get them all down.

I don't mind waiting. I'll also get to meet the children. Most of my students are teenagers since that's usually when their powers manifest.

Ok first room is Jerel's and Avery's. Avery's a good storyteller and Jerel's a telepathy and telekinetic. Avery can also create a sleep dust, which I wish I had to put him to sleep.

What do you do to get them to sleep?

Well, these two I tell them stories and for Aaron and Samara, singing. I also have to scare monsters away for them. I just check on Ian and for Paly I have to give him medicine and his teddy bear. He also need a glass of water.

How you manage it, I'll never know. He grinned.

The began to enter the boys room. How you manage an whole school, I'll never know. The boys were dressing now. Jerel was struggling with a button. He hated them. He could do it himself but asked for help anyway. Avery was leaping to grab his pillow that Jerel had put up on a high shelf when he picked on Jerel for failing to button his own shirt. Terri rolled her eyes. Jerel, get Avery's pillow and let me help you with that. she bent down to tuck the button through the hole. You two this is Professor Charles Xavier.

Avery hugged his pillow that was returned to him and waved at Xavier. Jerel smiled and said hi telepathically. Xavier responded with a smile and a warm energy flow to the boys brain. Xavier thought of how powerful the boys telepathy was for his age. Ok into bed you two. I'll tell you a story. The boys obeyed. Terri began her story.

As Xavier listened he thought of how this girl could change the school and the senate. He thought of her a persuasive young girl. She seemed kind hearted and could probably convince the senate that mutants and humans could live together without registering the mutants. After all, she had done it. Xavier realized that he liked the idea of this school. It taught the children not to hate mutants. He was hoping for her to visit his mansion.

When she was done she went to the other rooms. Xavier learned of the other students. Paly and Aaron were 6 and 4. Paul, or Paly as any called him, had no power but Aaron had sonic wave powers and enhanced hearing. She sang quietly and gave Plaly his bear and medicine and glass of water. In Ian's room she peaked in and said good night. He murmured it back. Terri noted that he also had no powers. She finally came to Samara, the fish girl. She was only two but had gills, slick skin, and silky hair. Terri sang to her a sweet soothing song and she quickly fell off to sleep.

Ok well that's done. You want to see Dr Duncan now?

Yes, I would. He had enjoyed seeing the motherly side of this tough, solitude girl. She interacted with children a lot.

She lead Xavier down stairs (on the elevator) and to the Doctor's Office. I shall find my way back. You look tired, go to bed. Xavier smiled slightly.

Terri sighed, Yes SIR! she saluted jokingly, smiled and turned. Good night Professor and welcome to The Unity School. She walked around the corner and was gone.
She had gone upstairs to sleep. Just hoping her dreams wouldn't come tonight.

Xavier knocked and received a Come In. He was greeted by the same old gentle man, Doctor Duncan. Xavier could tell he was a little tired as well, probably from a long day. The doctor still smiled.

Xavier rolled in and they began to chatter adult talk about happy to have them there and happy to be here and hope your room satisfies you, blah, blah, blah...

The Doctor seemed calm when the Professor wanted to know if he could show Terri his school and invite a couple of the normal kids. he said, Showing your students that not all normal people hate them will do them good.

I agree.

Of coarse you may, just ask the students. They all love trips, especially if it's to meet new people.

Well great, but I must go get some sleep and may I suggest you get to bed soon as well. You appear tired.

I agree I am. I don't seem to look my age anymore. These kids gave me most of this gray hair. You know teenagers. he said with a grin.

Xavier laughed, Yes, how do you think I lost my hair? I do have Jubilee, Bobby, and John as students. Not to mention the tiffs between Logan and Scott. Good night Doctor.

Night Professor.

Xavier rolled to the elevator and went upstairs. As he rolled by Terri's room he heard painful groans. He stopped and and used his telepathy to skim her mind. He felt pain, horror, and fear. He rolled close to her door and knocked. She didn't answer. He got worried and entered her room. He rolled next to her bed. He saw her fists clutching the blankets tightly and sweat droplets were on her forehead. He knew he shouldn't but entered her head to see what was wrong.

As son as he entered her head he was surrounded be pain. He stood up from his chair in her dream and watched as a girl with only a sports bra and short shorts was tied to two posts. Her hands tied to the top and her feet in chains on the floor. She was being whipped harshly by a large man behind her. He had the look of hatred in his eyes. Another man had a knife and was making small cuts. Xavier couldn't see the girls face but he knew that she was taking all the pain. She had scars and bruises. New cuts and old scars were now bleeding. The girl looked no older than 13 or 14. The man with the whip cried again MUTIE! Your a freak! All of your kind! Your nothing, now come on break! The man with the knife now was whispering to her. He ran his hand over her body and she spat at him. The whip snapped again and this time with the worst sound ever. The girl cried out in pain and the knife came down and carved an excruciatingly deep wound on the girl's forearm. A final punch came and knocked the girl out.

Xavier was knocked from the dream. Terri's eyes opened suddenly and her breathing was rapid. She sat up but got light headed and Xavier pushed her back down gently. It's all right. Calm down. It's just a dream.

Terri thought to herself. Yeah...yeah just a dream. She shut her eyes and swallowed. Her eyes snapped back open. Did you see?

Xavier nodded, I'm sorry I was worried. You were moaning in pain and I knew you were having a nightmare. Well go to sleep now. Terri looked worried as she nodded. Xavier saw this. Don't worry I'll stay until your sleeping well, he patted her hand and she nodded. Closing her eyes, she began to fall back to sleep. Xavier stayed watching her. He wondered how she got those memories, that horrible dream. Did she witness it? Did she know the girl? Or what is she...No she couldn't, she had told her past to him. Then again there was a part he knew she left out, that she was keeping secret. Perhaps she would trust him enough later to tell him. Tomorrow he would make plans to ask her about visiting his school with some of the normal students at her school.
