Chapter 2- Letters
Xavier sat looking at his mail, looking at the cost it would require to fix up the X-Jet, the Danger Room costs, and all of the other broken things in the institute.
A minute later Kitty Pryde came running into his office, waving a letter in her hand. "Professor, this letter like, just arrived." She said with her usual excited tone, and then handed it to him.
"Thank you, Kitty." He replied, taking it from her reaching hand.
Xavier gasped at looking upon the name. "Yeah, that was like the same thing Jean did when she first saw it, so, like who is this mysterious person no one is telling me about?" Kitty asked with a sparkle in her eye.
"He was a student here. He left the day that Kurt came here, he left to find his brother, now I guess I'm going to have to open this up to see what he is writing me about."

Dear Xavier, it's been nearly four years, hasn't it? Well, good news, I'm still alive (barely) and finally got my little brother to agree to come with me over to America.
Now, I know this is kind of all of a sudden, but we're going to be in on 5/24, and I was wondering if someone could possibly pick us up at the airport? I don't have any clue on any of the students that participate their any more. I'm guessing that Storm is still their, Wolverine might still be their, but with the amount of vacations he takes, it's never wise to second guess that man but I have no clue if Jean or Scott are, considering in my calculating they should have graduated from High School about three-four months ago, and the TV stations almost seem to be tired of your faces, so the seldom times I get to watch it I never hear anything about you guys anymore.
Yeah, we'll be arriving at 11:45 pm, so if we could get one of you guys to pick us up, we'd be very grateful. Sorry I'm not able to call you, but I'd rather not if you catch my drift. Anyways, it's going to be interesting seeing your newest batch of mutants.
All right, talk to you soon, Jack Youngst.

"Like, the 24th of May? That's like today…" Kitty thought out loud.
Xavier nodded. "Could you go take this to Scott, and ask if he wouldn't mind picking him up, also ask him to ask Jean, and if you aren't busy tonight could you go to meet him? I'm sure Scott and Jean will be pestering Jack enough to make his little brother feel neglected, and I don't want that." Xavier asked her.
"Like whoa, that's a lot of stuff to do, but sure professor. I'll go show this to him, and I like have nothing going on anymore anyways." She said walking out.
Not to Xavier's surprise, Jean and Scott both agreed. Xavier had made the appropriate calls to get Jack and his brother who he had not named for some bizarre reason, enrolled into the school. Which reports from the students showed that the students their were getting more and more warming to mutants, just the ones that had been their for a while.
Logan had just made his plans to leave for a few weeks, and Ororo had her own plans. So Xavier decided to let them take the X-Van. With that he waited.
**Kitty had somehow managed to talk Rogue into going as well, as she didn't want to be too bored with Scott and Jean talking to the new/old guy about what they've been up to.
"Like, why does that name sound so familiar?" Kitty asked Jean while looking at the letter.
Jean sighed. "Well, I guess you would have found out eventually. You probably heard about this on the news, his older brother killed his mom, dad, sister, and what he thought was his little brother. He found out he had mutant powers, and came here, or is the story the professor always fed us. That's probably why his name sounds familiar."
Kitty blinked a few times. "That's terrible, how do you like, talk to someone who has had that happen to them?" Kitty asked her.
Jean shrugged. "I don't know. He was a really mellow, down to earth person. Was really easy to talk to if I can remember right. He kind of had that gothic thing going for him, kinda like Rogue. That doesn't mean that it wasn't difficult to speak to him at times, you didn't even have to read his mind at times to tell when he was thinking about his family, and just looking at his face was enough to bring me to tears, sometimes." Jean commented with a sad look in her eye.
"So like, do you think finding his brother is going to like, change that?" Kitty asked her, not knowing the kid at all, she guessed that maybe Jean did know that much about him.
"Maybe, or maybe it's just made it even worse." Jean told her.
Scott came barging into the room. "Alright girls, you ready to go pick up our newest member?" Scott asked.
Jean and Kitty just nodded and followed Jack out to the X-Van.
