Disclaimer: I own no one except my characters. Tomas is now Vapor due to GothicRouge's suggestion. A/n: I know this took for ever but I am really sorry. May the great sprit and whatever other guys are up there bless Darlin and GothicRogue who are the only people who have reviewed so far. / means thoughts. \ means telepathic.

Tomas looked up and down the street. He was half worried half happy. He meet someone who wouldn't be able to tell if he just showed up in a puff of vapor, butt he was worried because he wasn't sure what to say if he meet her while he was on a job.

/how do you explain to a girl that you spend your life strangling people who have pissied off other people. Yes he made sure not to kill innocents, but no one was innocent so that really wasn't saying much. He could just give up and not go and see Diablo any more but he liked her despite the horns. Life sucked in general for assassin, but there really wasn't much else a guy like him could do. Oh yea he could join the circus. Look at the amazing vanishing boy. He can also read minds, and scare the hell out of everyone under the age of ten. /

\Hello Vapor. \

Tomas quickly turned solid realizing that he was in the middle of central park.

/Good no people around, who the hell was that I wonder? Maybe Diablo knows if there are any telepaths around or at least he could see her again.

He shifted back to the astral plan.

\I'm not going to hurt you Vapor. /

\GET OUT OF MY HEAD. / Tomas mentally shouted at. Whoever he was, ah name Xavier. \STAY OUT XAVIER I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU ARE BUT STAY OUT OF MY HEAD. \

Tomas nearly leapt back into his solid form. He was tired now it took a lot of energy to shout at people especially on the astral plane.

/Xavier knows my codename. I just hope he doesn't know my real name. I'm probably better off in the astral plane but it's easier to put up shields when you have a physical base. /

"Tomas is that you? What are you doing outside my door?"

"Is coming to say hi a good excuse?"

"Come on in I'm told it's not a palace but it works."

"If your blind why are there pictures on the wall?"

"My room mate Fi likes art. Do you like it?"

"Yea it's nice. Have you heard of a guy named Xavier?"

Yea he has a mansion in Salem center, Westchester. It's some sort of school for mutants. Oh and he is supposed to be some kind of telepath. Why you asking?"

"Just heard him mentioned somewhere."

Diablo paused for a moment apparently listening to some thing. "You're not telling me everything."

"What do you mean?"

"Your heart rate increased when you said that and you stopped breathing for .2 seconds."

"How the hell do you know that?"

"Really good hearing I'll explain after you give a short version of how you know about Xavier. You don't have to tell me everything but tell me at least if you've meet him."

"Okay I was in central park and he started talking to me telepathically. All I caught from him was the name."

"How did you find out that much in the first place?"

"I'm a telepath if someone isn't blocking something and you look for it you can find it out, but you can't do that deep of a scan on a telepath or they might catch you right away and that my friend is a very bad thing. How did you know Xavier?"

"I got caught and sent to a school, they thought I was a mutant and they sent me to his school. I left because everyone is so "if we just ignore mutant racism it will go away and we will all live together in harmony." It makes me want to throw up."

A/n: sorry this is so short I have lot's of play practice going on so I figured you would rather read this instead of waiting two weeks for the show to be over. I'll probably post another chappy tomorrow if I have time. Adios
