Visit To Braddock Manor
Charles sat in his wheelchair, as he moved towards the front door leading to the vast mansion in front of them. Storm rang the doorbell. Soon, the door was opened by a butler. "Hello, we're here to see Mrs. Braddock. We're from the Xavier Institute." Storm introduced.
The butler ushered them in, "Ah, yes. Please; come in. My Lady has been expecting you." The butler smiled.
"Thank you." Charles smiled, as he moved into the foyer of the mansion. Storm followed.
"Would you like something to drink, or eat?" The butler asked.
"No thank you." The two guests smiled.
"This way." The butler said, leading the two towards the study.
Storm and Charles followed. Storm sat on one of the couches next to Charles' wheelchair. "I will alert Lady Braddock that you have arrived." The butler smiled.
The butler walked out of the room. Storm looked around her. She noticed a large family portrait above the fireplace mantle. She walked to it. She saw an older man and woman sitting in chairs in the front. Both with blonde hair and blue eyes. She saw two young teenagers standing behind them, with another young man in the middle of the two. She saw that the girl in the photo had jet black long hair, with an exotic face, and brown eyes. She saw the young teenage boy next to her with short, blonde spiked hair, and blue eyes. The young man between them had clean cut brown hair, and blue eyes. "Is this the girl, Charles?" Storm asked.
Charles looked at the photo. "Yes; Elizabeth Braddock. The last time she saw me, she was only eleven years old. She was kidnapped by a clan of ninja terrorists as a child. She was missing for years. When I finally found her, they had reformed her body to resemble an Asian. I helped reform her mind to a normal state, but I could do nothing for her body. The young man standing next to her is her twin brother, Brian."
Storm sighed, and walked back to her seat. She sat down, "They look nothing alike."
"I know. Elizabeth's modeling career in England had skyrocketed, but she went through some tough moments trying to cope with her transformation." Charles explained.
They looked up, as they heard someone walk into the room. "Professor!" They heard.
Lady Braddock smiled, as she walked towards him. She bent down, to kiss him on the cheek hello. "Lady Braddock, a pleasure!" Charles smiled.
"Always!" Lady Braddock smiled.
She looked at the woman who stood up from her seat. She smiled, and held out her hand. "My name is Yvonne Braddock." She smiled, shaking Storm's hand.
Storm smiled, "My name is Ororo Monroe. I'm also known as Storm."
"Pleasure!" Yvonne smiled.
Elizabeth looked into the room, and walked in. She saw the familiar man in the wheelchair that had helped her as a child so many years ago. "Hello, Professor." She smiled.
The three looked at her. Elizabeth walked towards him, and kissed him hello. "Elizabeth; it's been a long time!" Charles smiled.
"Yes, it has." Elizabeth smiled.
Elizabeth looked at Storm. She held her hand out, and shook Storm's hand, "I'm Elizabeth. Everyone calls me Betsy."
"Pleasure, Elizabeth. My name is Ororo Monroe. I'm also known as Storm, at the institute."
Elizabeth sat down on the couch across from them. Her mother sat next to her. "Well, Elizabeth. It looks like your powers have grown since I've last seen you." Charles began.
Elizabeth sighed, and folded her hands. "Professor, I didn't know all of that would go so far." Elizabeth said.
Charles smiled, "Elizabeth, that's alright. That's why I built my institute. To help others like yourself to control your powers."
Elizabeth looked at him, "Professor, I don't know. I mean, ever since my father's death, I've been having nightmares every night. I don't know if I would be an endangerment to your other students."
Charles leaned forward, "Elizabeth, there is another girl at my institute with the same powers as yourself. She can help you control it. Believe me, when she has nightmares, her bedroom shakes as well."
Brian walked into the room. He smiled, "Professor! So good to see you again!"
Charles looked up at him, and smiled, "Brian! You've grown so much!"
Brian shook Charles' hand. "Thank you!", He looked at Storm, and shook her hand, "Brian Braddock." He introduced.
"Ororo Monroe." Storm smiled.
Brian sat on the other side of his twin sister. Charles turned his attention back to Elizabeth. "Now, Elizabeth, there is a place for you at my institute. What I would definitely think would be good, is if you come out to Bayville, and take a look at what we do; just to see if it suits you." Charles smiled.
Elizabeth looked at Brian. "I'm not going without you." She said to him, telepathically.
Brian smiled, as he heard his sister. Brian looked at her, and gestured his head towards the Professor. They both looked at him. "Professor, I can't leave without Brian. He's my twin. I can't be separated from him." Elizabeth explained.
Charles looked at Brian and smiled, "Well, I understand, Brian, that you have gifts of your own?"
Brian nodded, and grinned. "Yes, sir! I would be happier around Elizabeth, though." Brian smiled, then looked at his sister, "Just so I can keep an eye out for her."
Elizabeth smiled at her brother, and looked at Charles. Charles smiled, "Very well. Brian, there is definitely a place for you at the institute. Your gifts would be a very valuable asset to our team."
Elizabeth and Brian looked at each other and sighed.
Yvonne waited for her children to come down the stairs in the foyer. Jamie came out of the library, and stood next to his mother. He looked at her, and she sighed. "Jamie, I don't know if I can separate from any of you. Am I making the right decision?" Yvonne sighed.
Jamie put his arm around his mother. "Mum, Betsy needs help with her gifts. The Professor seems to be our best bet. I don't want Betsy to hurt herself or others." Jamie said.
Brian and Elizabeth walked down the staircase with their duffel bags in their hands. They reached their mother and brother in the foyer. "Well." Brian sighed.
Jamie hugged his younger siblings. Elizabeth and Brian hugged him in return. "You two call when you get there. Please; keep in touch." Jamie sighed.
They broke away from each other, and Yvonne looked at her twins. Tears swelled in her eyes, and she hugged them both. "Oh, my twins!" She sighed.
"Bye mum!" Elizabeth cried.
Yvonne kissed her daughter on her head, and then kissed her son on his cheek. "Don't worry. The Professor will help you two," She broke away to look at them, "You two have fun, and stay out of trouble."
Brian grinned. He picked up his bag, and waited for his sister to walk with him outside. Elizabeth looked at her mother, and smiled, "I love you, mum."
"I love you too, my darling." Yvonne smiled.
Yvonne and Jamie watched Elizabeth and Brian walk out of the door, and to the Velocity Helicopter waiting outside for them. They waved to each other, before the twins loaded onto the Helicopter. Jamie put his arm around his mother, as they watched the Velocity start up, and fly away from them.
Scott walked into the mansion from the carport. Evan flew by him on his skateboard. "Hey! Watch it!" Scott snapped.
"Sorry!" Evan grinned back at him.
Evan slammed into someone, and he fell on top of them on the floor. "Get off of me, Porcupine!" He heard.
He looked down below him on the floor. "Oh, sorry Rogue!" He grinned.
Rogue pushed him off of her. "Creep!" She snapped, as she stood to her feet.
She lifted her nose in the air, and walked away towards the kitchen. "Evan, be careful, the Professor's bringing in some new recruits, okay?" Scott warned, before walking towards the staircase.
Evan sighed, and picked up his skateboard. He walked towards the front door. "You all are so uptight!" He snapped.
Scott walked up the stairs, and sighed as he saw Kurt sliding down the railing of the staircase. "Kurt, be careful!" Scott snapped, continuing to walk up the stairs.
Kurt looked back at him, smiling. Not watching where he was going, he flew through Kitty, as she phased herself, and onto the floor. He looked back up at her. "Thanks for not warning me, Kitty!" He snapped.
Kitty shrugged, "Sorry!"
Peter rushed into the mansion from the back area. "Hey! The Professor's back!" He snapped.
"Good, new people! Hopefully they're not as weird as ya'all are!" Rogue snapped, walking out of the kitchen.
