She looked up to the professors' face which had taken on a worried thoughtful expression as he looked back at her. Finally the silence was broken by Jean who asked the obvious question.
"Did you find anything useful? Anything we can use?" Her tone was eager and made Charles Xavier look up.
"Brooke has the ability to control all natural substances, which explains the weather changes and the way she could hit Piotr with such energy. The earth as well listens to her thoughts allowing that little earthquake to happen. It's a big responsibility to have but I think with a little practice and control we can have Brooke able to use this gift. In the mean time you'll have to be very careful not to let your emotions get the best of you since that's what seems to give off this energy. But I also found something more personal I would like to discuss with you later on, but the sun is still down and everyone needs some rest." He finished his speech focusing on Brooke alone.
She understood what he meant and got up to go over to Piotr again, they left together as the teachers stayed behind to discuss other important matters. Jean saw the expression on the professors' face as he turned himself towards his desk.
"What is it that you found there Professor? It's obviously something important if you're not going back to bed yourself." She tried not to sound too curious as she sat down opposite of him.
"It may be something important, but I know that you'll keep it between us if I tell you. I need to wait until she's more settled here to tell her about it." And with that he quietly told Jean the news and she gasped not believing it at all.
Back in the halls Piotr and Brooke were having their own discussion. "Do you feel alright now that he did that scan to you?" Piotr double checked concerned for her welfare.
"Yes I think I feel fine, but I really don't want to go back to that room again. What if people are still over there? I don't want them to say anything since I really didn't mean to do anything. And sorry about throwing you." She apologized finally as she thought about the horrible ordeal that had just occurred.
"It's alright I'm fine, but you can stay with me again I'm sure the professor won't care about it that much. After all he does want you to stay calm and not be too stressed out. Also people probably won't say anything about tonight, everyone has gone through hard stuff to get where they are and you're no different." He reassured her as they walked down the empty halls to his room.
"I'm sure your right but still I'd rather be over here with you instead of there alone." She confessed truthfully as they walked into his room and she went to sit on his bed careful to be quiet not to wake up his room mate, a younger mutant named Timmy.
He sighed and went over and laid down beside where she sat and pulled her into his embrace. "So do you know what it is the professor found that's so private?"
"I don't think so, it's really odd I thought I knew someone from here in my memories but I never got a good enough look. Now it'll bother me until he tells me for sure." She sighed and pushed her head into his chest.
He tightened his arms around her wanting to talk more to make sure she was going to be alright but he didn't know how to do this. "Do you need to get anything else off your chest before we sleep again? I mean not to pry or anything but to do what you just did means you were having troubles sleeping or something."
She half nodded not exactly knowing how to talk about what was on her mind, with a deep breath she gave it her best shot.
"Okay I know we're all different here from other people outside of here but why do they treat us like they do. I mean we're all human and we all have feelings and we all are the same but not. I mean no one is like anyone else even if they are so called 'normal'. But why can they all get away with doing what they do to us? Doesn't that infringe on our human rights written up by whoever it was that wrote them? Like you can't go out on the street and rightfully beat someone for their sexual preference without going to jail but you can do that to us. If someone came up and took me back to that lab no one would be able to legally stop them and the government would probably even help out with putting me back there for some profit. What gives them that right Piotr? I mean they know everything about me, there's a file out there I can't see and I don't even know who 'they' are. Why is it this way Piotr?"
