I'm really bad at accents so forgive me in advance for not even trying.
Here's apiece of candy for energy. That Kurt chapter was a real killer - but my thanks to kosumi for a good idea that Kurt would still be angry - the way I was written it needed some more work and I'm pleased with it now. This one will be very short

Chapter Five: Scott gets grilled
Hank got Scott into the Med Lab and had determined Scott's ribs were OK - no breaks or bruises. The large blue mutant turned towards the door as the Professor wheeled into the lab. Xavier's expression was very grave. "Hank, would you mind leaving us for few minutes, that is till I call you back?" There was no mistaking this was an order not a request.
Hank thought to himself as he left without responding, :The next staff meeting is going to be one for the record books.:
Xavier cut into Scott right away. "What were you hoping to accomplish with that family conference you called? Do you have no confidence in the adult instructors around here that you thought you can handle this better then us?"
Scott knew the professor had been working with Rogue for sometime and it was no secret that the progress had been very slow. He also knew the professor had been going without much sleep for some time since Apocalypse had erected the dome over the Mayan temple. So he decided to let the professor have his say without defending himself - because he had no good reasons to back up what he had done on the plane. :Take it like the man and team leader you're pretending to be:, he thought to himself.
"To top it all off, I understand you vandalized some communication equipment on the Blackbird! Just what where you thinking, Scott?"
Scott waited to be sure Xavier was done. Then he said simply, "I'm sorry Professor, I blew it big time. I think Rogue is already planning to leave the Institute and I'm afraid Kurt will also probably be leaving because of what I've done. You're right - I should have stayed out of this. I'll accept any punishment you see fit."
The professor was surprised at Scott's tone - usually he defended his actions no matter what he had done. Now the surprise of two students leaving was too much. "Just what happened in that room anyway?" Xavier asked.
"In the interest of time, see for yourself," Scott replied and Xavier was struck by the sensation of Scott's mental shields completely coming down - allowing the telepath access to his memories, his reactions and his reasoning for what he had done.
Xavier quickly reviewed Scott's thoughts and also picked up on some details his student probably had not intended to reveal.
"We'll continue this discussion later, young man," Xavier said, his tone slightly less severe, as he wheeled out to the elevators leading to the mansion.
He saw Kurt waiting with Ororo outside the MelLab, and Kurt appeared eager to see Scott. He could sense their embarrassment for having witnessed his exchange with Scott.
"Let's get something for you to eat, Charles." Ororo motioned towards the elevator. She suspected the dinner she had prepared for him before leaving on the rescue mission was still in his study untouched. Xavier telepathically sent a message summoning Logan and Hank to the kitchen for a staff meeting as Ororo held the elevator door open .
Please read and review
This is chapter five of ten - couple more coming soon.
