Jane was a wakened by a man's voice telling her to get up. It took her a minute to remember where she was. "Thanks," she said sheepishly, "Didn't mean to fall asleep." The man smiled at her. She disembarked the bus and shouldered her bag, as she debated her next move. Should she call the mansion and get a ride or just walk there. She decided to walk, it would take longer to get there but she wasn't really sure what she would say when she got there. "Hey it's great to see you guy. Oh and by the way I've been lying to you for the past few years I'm really not Jubilee at all." She tested out loud, ~ yeah I can just picture how that would go over. Cyke would probably just toss me out on my ass. And Logan would give me one of his hurt looks maybe even ask me how I could have lied to him. Course he may not I mean no one knows his real name or Rogue's either. Maybe it won't be so bad. ~
The walk was long but it wasn't long enough for her tastes. Summoning up her courage the opened the front door and walked in. It was quite she couldn't hear anyone ~ Course it's eleven and most of them a re probably out, or in bed. ~ She thought. Figuring the Professor should be the first person she talked to she headed for his office. He was there sitting behind his desk reading a very heavy looking book. "Hey" she called out. "Jubilee he said looking up, "Jubilee I though it was you but Emma did not say you where coming." "We…There…. um there was a problem. I um, I don't know how to explain this can you read my thoughts please?"
The Professor was silent for a moment as he concentrated on Jane's thoughts the events of the evening replayed for him. After breaking the link he simply sat there looking at her for a moment. She had a rather dishevelled appearance he could feel the waves of fear, apprehension and fatigue rolling off her. "Have a seat Jane it appears we have much to talk about." Letting her bag fall to the ground she sat down in one of the over stuff soft Leather Chairs that sat in front of the professor's desk.
"Are you mad?" Jane asked meekly with out looking at him, she hadn't made eye contact since he had left her mind.
"No Of course not Jane" The Professor hovered round the desk so that he sat in front of the frightened child. "I have always known that Jubilee was not your real identity. But I did not want to push you. I believed that in time when you where ready you would tell me, as you have. You are not the first to hide you name." He smiled kindly at her.
The young girls eyes closed in relief. She was about to reply when she was interrupted by a yawn. "Sorry it's late, today's been really long."
"Of course, we can continue this in the morning if you wish. Your room is the way you left it."
"Thanks. Um I want to tell the other about this myself."
"I won't say a word! Other then to perhaps tell them that you are here. I will how ever have to call Emma and let her know you are here." At that statement Jane's eyes when wide with apprehension. "You will of course, need to remain her for a few days for some treatment. Seeing how she currently believes you to be insane I can't see her arguing with that. I will however omit the content of that therapy." Xavier smiled to her again.
"Thanks," Yawn "Night" Jane picked up her bag and wound her way around the mansion to her old room. She was not quite ready for bed just yet. She owed it to Logan to tell his first. With a raising sense of apprehension she headed for his room.
