Out of the Shadows- The Realization

Scott pulled Jean into a warm hug, brushing his lips against her hair in a brief kiss. She sighed and leaned back against him, obviously grateful for the comfort. This had been by far the worst day he had ever had since he had discovered his powers.

They had taken Kitty and Remy to the Professor's office to talk to them. What they had learned had deeply disturbed him. Kitty was almost as prejudice as the FOH. She had gotten the idea in her head, that normal-looking mutants were better than visibly mutated ones.

They had sent Remy out, had told him to go and try to talk to Mortimer, see if he was okay. He and Jean had remained there, talking to Kitty for 90 minutes. The girl sure had some twisted views. She was restricted to the mansion for a week as punishment and was going to talk to the Professor later.

Scott shook his head and pulled Jean closer to him.

How could this be happening?

Remy sighed heavily, leaning back against the tree. He had tried to find Mortimer everywhere...he had disappeared. He ran his hands through his hair, remembering Kitty's cruel remark about his eyes. And what she had said to Mortimer...

Why was this happening?

Professor Xavier tried to concentrate on his book, but his thought kept returning to his talk with Kitty. He had never seen something like this coming. Mutants that were prejudice against other mutants. It was so...wrong.

Remy had told him that he couldn't find Mortimer. Charles sighed. Why this had to happen he would never understand.

Suddenly, his door flew open and Remy burst in. "Professor! I found Mortimer! Please, you have to come quick!"
