The X-men, walked to the Mansion's main door and Xavier open it
telepathically. Xavier waited for the main gates to open so the visitor
could come in. On the professor's left hand was Rogue, excited because the
new mutant arrival, Bobby was next to her, waiting with some curiosity for
the girls entrance. What was her mutation and why did Ororo and Scott made
so many question about her, they seemed worried, were some of the many
question he was making himself, they obviously knew her, that was the only
thing he was sure of. Ororo and Scott stepped outside walking throught the
garden and meeting the girl half way through it.
"Adora...." said Ororo with a kind voice, she looked different, older...of course she looks older it's been five years. She may look older and be older, but she will be allways the little 5 year old who appear in the mansion doorstep with a card in her hand, cold and wet from the rain. The Weather Goddess tried to hide the tears.
The younger girl took the sunglasses hiding her eyes. She looked at Ororo and smiled. "That's me...little, old Adora"
They looked at each other and embraced, tears no longer beeing hidden, emotion nor longer beeing covered behing strong shells
"I missed you..." said Ororo tighting the embrace. She felt the younger girl nod at her neck and heard a muffled 'Yeah..me too'
Scott beeing the leader, he had his emotions under control, but deep inside he was crying. Seeing Adora again made him remember Jean and the time they spent trying to break the shell of the closed up little girl, who the only two things she said was "Bathroom" and "hungry". And now here she is, all grown up. It was like welcoming a son, or daughter in this case, home.
"Hello Adora" he said as the two women broke the hug "How are you?"
The girl looked at Scott and smiled "Peachy...and you ?" he knew she knew about Jean, and he also knew that the 'and you?' was about that matter. He wasn't ready to touch that matter with her. With the other X-men and even Professor it was okay, but her. It was like remembering the past, everything that had happened from her arrival 12 years ago, her departure to England 5 years ago and to Jean's disappearance some time ago. "I'm fine" He looked at her and smiled "Let's go inside the Mansion...the Professor is waiting there for you"
Ororo took one of he suitcases and Scott took another one, and satrted making their way to the main hall of Xavier Institute.

Meanwhile, Logan was in the kitchen, not a bit curious about the girl, just wanting to have in morning coffee at peace, and then hit the danger room so he could hurt another fighting robot.
After Jean disappeared, Logan became more and more distant. He thought about leaving, but for some reason he couldn't leave, he always said to himself that it was because he didn't have to pay for the roof that he sleeps underneath of, or the food he eats every day at exactly 12.00 p.m and 08.00 pm. But when he really thought about the matter he realised that the reason he was really here was because he liked it, he felt like he belong in the Mansion, teaching kids self defense, and making fun of Scott and even getting through the boring meetings in the Professor's office. Althought he would never ever admit it to anyone, deep inside that's what made him stay.

In the hall of the Mansion, Rogue turned to the Professor.. "Why is she here? Where is she from?"
Professor looked at Rogue and smiled.
"She is what we can say a sucessfull run away."
"Did she ran away because she was a mutant?" Bobby asked.
When the Professor was about to answer a young lady stepped into the room "Professor!!"
"Adora!" Said the Professor excited "You've grown up, you look different..."
Rogue looked at Adora. The first thing she noted was her eyes, the left one, was forest green and the right, other was a blue grey. She was her heigh, and probably the same weight. Her hair was shoulder length, almost dark brown, with red tips. She was dress with a black dress that reached her middle thigh, and underneath that she wore a white pants, with white boots underneath it.
Rogue smiled and stepped towards the girl "Hello, I'm Marie or Rogue". The girl looked at Rogue and nodded "Hi, I'm Adora or Illusia". They both shook hands and nodded to each.
The Professor looked at the girls and then at Scott and Ororo who were bringing two suitcases inside. Adore looked at them and ran over them smilling "I told you that wasn't necessary...I could have brought them myself"
Scott smiled and dropped the biggest of the two suitcases "Yeah...yeah...We know, but still we just wanted to give you a hand, you must be tired and I didn't want you to make unnecessary efforts" Ororo smiled at Scott and dropped the small suitcase she was carrying.
"Adora...." said Ororo with a kind voice, she looked different, older...of course she looks older it's been five years. She may look older and be older, but she will be allways the little 5 year old who appear in the mansion doorstep with a card in her hand, cold and wet from the rain.
