RV: They fixed it! YAY!

I hear footsteps running towards me. Then out of no where to skinny arms fly around my neck. "You're okay! We were like so scared for you!" Kitty cries after releasing me. I hear two more footsteps come up behind her. I can feel the weight of their stares on me. "Why do you like look straight through me?"
I take a deep breath and start to answer but Xavier intervenes. 'Thank you Goddess,' I sigh deeply relieved.
"Destiny cannot see. It appears that when she created that light it blinded her," Xavier explains calmly.
"Wha- what do you mean it- it blinded her?" Logan stutters. "Wouldn't we be blind also since we saw that light?"
Stepping around Kitty, I hold out my hand to Logan. Once I feel his hand in mine I give it a reassuring squeeze. "I think because I created it the only blinded me. My blindness may temporary or permanent. I don't know yet but I'm not worried about. I'm already adjusting." I give him a hug and whisper in his ear, "So stop fretting, Dad."
"I'm glad you're a. you're a." Rogue stammers trying to find the words, "a live. What else am I supposed to say? You're not fine. You're blind." I can hear tears in her voice.
I let go of Logan. "Professor-"
"I know, Destiny," he interrupts. "Let's leave the girls alone for a little while. That includes you, Logan." Xavier, Ororo and Jean move away while Logan stays rooted to his spot.
"We'll be fine. I promise," I guarantee him. It seems to have satisfied him and he walked away. I hug Rogue neither of us caring if she absorbs part of me or not. Kitty soon joins us crying her eyes out.
Rogue pulls away from Kitty and I. "Sorry. I usually don't cry."
"So big deal if the untouchable Rogue cries. Like Destiny and I won't tell anyone," Kitty teases causing us to laugh.
My stomach grumbles noisily. "I say we storm the kitchen and get some food."
"Uh, not a good idea. Storm will fry our asses if we set foot into the kitchen while she's cooking. How about we take your stuff upstairs and get cleaned up?" Rogue suggests still giggling. "Dinner will be in about an hour or two. Unpacking should keep us busy until then." Some silent exchange goes between her and Kitty. I feel Rogue's arm drop from my shoulder. "Kitty will take you to our room. I have to go get someone."
I shrug and let Kitty lead me upstairs.

Liam Holt paced across his room. He couldn't get Destiny out of his head. She had looked so beautiful this morning sliding down the banister rail. So carefree and innocent. He couldn't conceive of the idea that she could kill people or much less that she had. Mystique and Magneto had to be lying. It was their way of keeping him from her.
Liam had enrolled undercover, so to speak, for Magneto shortly after the Liberty Island incident. Magneto had helped him get out of some trouble a couple of years ago. So when he asked the young man to enroll in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and report back about its students and staff, Liam had no problem doing it. Once his job was done and his debt repaid, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
'Until Destiny entered the playing field.'
He felt horrible reporting about her to Magneto. He knew something bad was going to happen when he did. 'Damn my powers,' he thought to himself staring at his hands. 'Why couldn't I have gotten Drake's powers instead of mine?' He hated his ability to touch someone and instantly knowing everything there is to know about that person. Especially when he had to use it to gain information on his new friends and mentors.
"Maybe that's why I can't get Destiny out of my mind," he whispered thinking out loud. "I touched her and got nothing except she's smart, exceptionally powerful, and doesn't remember much of her past." Liam jumped as the door opened.
