After Lillth unpacked Jess showed her where the Professor's office was.
"Don't worry he's not going to hurt you. That's the last thing he'd do"
Jess smiled and Lillth walked in.
"Uh Professor you said you wanted to see me?" Lillth said when she saw him at his desk.
"Yes. I was thinking about your healing power. I don't think that's really your power." Xavier said smiling. "It's just i know a mutant with that power and it is very rare to see a mutant with two powers like yours."
"Oh." She said.
"I was wondering if you'd let me read your mind to see if it's your power or not." He suggested trying to make her comfortable as this was all new to her. "It won't hurt and i won't do it unless you let me."
"No it's ok you can I'd like to know myself now you've said that." She smiled "Doesn't this mean I'll properly copy your power afterwards?"
"You've already got my power. When i read your mind at your house. You just haven't tried it yet. OK just sit still for now it might hurt a bit depends how deep i have to go." Xavier explained.
She sat very still and the Professor wheeled up behind her and put his hands near her head but not quite touching. They both closed their eyes. He saw her house. Her father. A picture of what he guessed was her mother. Her friends. James. Then he went a bit deeper. He heard convocations of her father and a man on the phone. Stryker. He went further into her memroies. He saw her mother's funeral. Her father looking at her as if it was her fault. He saw a boy tugging her hair. Rosa and Lillth playing dress-ups. Then he saw something he didn't really know how to explain. She was adopted. Her father looking at her with disgust and her mother cherishing her. She finally had a child. A man talking to her father explaning he'd come back for her when she was eighteen. Telling her father to keep track on her. See how she lives her life. Whether she shows any signs of being a mutant. Explaning her real mother and father were mutants. And that they might come looking for her. If they did to ring him straight away and he'd pick her up. Then he saw a lab and a man running past bleeding but healing at the same time with three metal spikes coming from his knuckles.
The Professor thought this was enough for now. "Well i found out that you saw my friend when you were little. You saw him use his power and then you copied it." He smiled
"What else did you see? Did you see how my mother died? My father never told me." Lillth asked wanting to know.
"I'm afraid not i only saw what you saw. How far back do you remember Lillth?"
"Um my earliest memory i think is when i went to school the first time. There was a boy pulling my hair all the time. Why?"
"Well i think you might of been adopted. Did you ever know?"
"Oh." Lillth looked at her hands. "I guess i should of known with my the way he was and all towards me. I thought it was because he blamed me for mum's death. But no i never knew"
"I hope you'll be ok. Now that you know"
"It's ok i never really felt part of a family. Except when i was at Rosa's" She said sadly. "Funny it doesn't bother me that much. Being adopted and all. I'm kind of happy"
"Well it's a new life here for you Lillth and I hope enjoy it. At least you had a choice to come. Before you had a home. Many others didn't have a choice it was either here or the streets." Xavier explained trying to make her feel better. He was sure she was feeling a little unwanted.
"Did you see my parents? Maybe I could find them?" Lillth asked excitedly.
"I didn't go that far back. Plus if you never saw your mother or father I won't be able to see them in your mind. And it's very hard to see that far back. You had to be at least a year old before you start to remember things." Xavier said
"Ok. Thank you anyway. I guess I'll go and find Jess then." Lillth said. She was a bit disappointed she would have loved to meet her real parents.
"Yes it's nearly dinner time." Xavier walked her to the door. "I'll see you in class goodbye." Lillth just smiled at him sadly.
"Uh Professor you said you wanted to see me?" Lillth said when she saw him at his desk.
"Yes. I was thinking about your healing power. I don't think that's really your power." Xavier said smiling. "It's just i know a mutant with that power and it is very rare to see a mutant with two powers like yours."
