Finally after an hour of walking Gambit put Sienna on her feet and told her she had to walk the last mile so he could think of a good excuse for the Professor for why he had brought her. "Professor? Do you live at a college?" she inquired quietly so as not to disturb his thinking. "No chere it's a school for gifted children and I'm there to learn more about my gift." He said with a smile. If only she knew what he really was.
Finally the mansion came into view and Sienna was taken back by the size and beauty of it. "How many people live here Remy?" she asked in awe of the place. "Around 20 maybe give or take I never paid attention to them." "Most of them are teenagers going to the local high school and there are about 3 teachers for sure." He said of the top of his head. He looked at his watch and realized it was late. It was almost two a.m. and the Professor and the others were probably wondering were he was.
"I'm telling you Professor, he's probably at some girl's house and just decided to stay the night," Logan said to Professor Xavier. "Even if that's true Logan he is still responsible to call and tell us he's late." Professor X replied already knowing that Gambit was on his way home with a guest. "Jean, please set up a guest room for a visitor and gat an ace bandage also." He asked telepathically to one of his students. "Yes Professor" Jean replied back to him.
Remy opened the front door and noticed that lights blazed from the living room. "Oh man. I guess I'm not the only one up." He said to Sienna with a smile on his lips. Sienna barely heard him when from inside her head she heard a voice welcoming her to the mansion. "Remy did you hear that?" she asked softly. "Hear what chere? It probably was just the Profs. Welcoming you to his school." Remy said offhand not thinking that she didn't know what he was.
The Professor finally rolled into view and saw Remy trying to sneak to his room with Sienna. "Remy, where do you think you are taking her?" he asked in a very serious tone. "I'm taking her to bed and then in the morning I figured we can talk." Remy hoped that the Prof. would accept that and leave it alone till later. No such luck. "There is a room prepared for her upstairs but I want to talk to both of you now if it's okay in the library please."
Sienna had never seen a library this extensive anywhere not even in her friend's lavishly decorated homes. Remy told him how he let Logan drive back after drinking and how he had saved Sienna from a bunch of guys and how she needed a place to sleep. He told the professor he meant to call but forgot and then he had to carry her cause she hurt her ankle and by the time they were near home it was late. Finally Professor X turned to Sienna. "How is your ankle child? Do you need anything?" "No, but what is this place and how could I hear you in my head?" she asked. "This is Xavier's School for Gifted Children. In the morning I'll tell you more about it okay. Go to bed and sleep." Profs. X told her were her room was and when breakfast was served. "Good night Remy." She said softly as he hugged her. This school and the people she had met were going to give Sienna a lot of questions in the morning
