Chapter Two: Ethics and Discipline...

Unfortunately the students did in fact not have anything like the discipline of Ms. Frost's students.

The moment Mathew left the building the students started swarming around him, they hadn't seen him yet, but rumors revealed that he was from Ms. Frost's academy, and was a teachers there. The Cuckoos, who generally couldn't really be bothered by things as teachers, did let slip that he too was a trainee of Ms. Frost, and in fact her nephew.

Fortunately the students were quickly calmed through information provided by the newly found PsySpy-network, a telepathic network created by none other than Mather and the Three-in-one.

The Cuckoos had already noticed Mathew's familliar presence, and he had informed them that he was to be a teacher here, and informed them of his plan to bring the telepathic network that existed in Frost's Academy to Xavier's School. They had happily agreed to help him, it was something they had been wanting to do, although less urgent than Mathew since they had eachother, since they too missed the psionic background noise. They had already tried linking the telepathic minds together, with their consent off course, but for some reason no one really used it.

And so it was that they established their new network with the help of Mathew, who was more commonly known as Arc due the fact that his telekineses tended to go awry in sticky situations, and would often fly around in circles. This new network was created by using something like a mobile phone system, the messages were sent through the telepath's network, and then relayed to all non-telepaths nearby. The only problem so far was that communication from non-telepaths to the network was impossible if there were no telepaths hearing their thoughts. A problem that was solved at Ms. Frost's academy by keeping telepathic ears open all the time.

Through this new network Mathew, aided by the Three-in-One, could quickly calm everyone, assuring them that what had transpired was not an indication that all hell would break loose, and that it also did not give them the right to attack harmless squirrels that might be shapeshifted aliens.

And as the students each went their own ways, Mathew walked up to the injured boy and girl, asking them to join him. "Could you two come with me to the infirmary?..." A slight pause as Mathew's blue eyes began to radiate a slight hue, this was something than ran in the familly, as Ms. Frost and the Cuckoos also tended to have this side-effect when using their telepathic abilities "Marie... and Bobby?"

As the two students followed Mathew back to the mansion, a strange thought occured to Marie, "Wait... how did you know our names?" The only reply she got was Mathew poking one of his temples and mouthing the word 'telepath'.

Rogue's eyes flashed, "What? You read our minds? The professor says telepaths shouldn't read minds without their consent."

Bobby's smile was growing. Finally a teacher that was a bit more fun... too bad he wasn't a psion, for the Frost would only teach them. Oh well, he thought to himself, progress is progress.

Mathew chuckled for a moment, "Yes, I know. His ethics have always amused the Frosts." He smiled at Marie for a moment, again the feint glow from his blue eyes, quickly followed by a mischievous smile... "Don't worry... i won't tell." Added with a small wink.

Bobby looked at Rogue for a moment, "What? Won't tell what?" Rogue quickly blushed and mumbled it was nothing, eyeing their new teacher with a glare that might kill... if she had been gifted with the power of shooting energy beams out of her eyes, fortunately she had not.

When they got to the infirmary Mathew carefully treated their injuries, farther dealing with Marie's faul temper, and little by little gaining more respect from Bobby, who -in his innocence- did not think of the possibility that his mind was being read also, and not just Rogue's. Mathew finally sent the two off, and thought he'd might have a bit of time to start preparing for the lessons he was to give when he heard a noise coming from the... hangar. Fortunately the Cuckoos had been kind enough to share their knowledge of the mansion with him. As his eyes turned a whiter shade of blue he felt the presence of the x-men, and decided to inform the professor.

As he tried to contact the professor telepathically there came no response, which was odd... certainly if one considers that the network greatly strengthened a telepathic connection of any sort, but appearently the professor was too busy dealing with other things. Maybe the man-ish thing is causing trouble, the thoughts occured to Mathew. In that case he would have to walk.

Mathew sighed for a moment as he got up from his chair and reminded himself that there were in fact places where people had to talk, his aunt's school was so much easier... but he might have been spoilt a little. So he got to his feet and when he got to the professor's door he didn't bother to knock, but simply flung it open using his telekineses. "Training should be done throughout the entire day, not just when you're with me." That was what Emma always told him when they were training, but even after all this time it wasn't clear to him whether she meant this out of lazyness or training. In the end, 't was all the same.

Mathew noticed the strange mutant man was being led away by a young girl. He informed the professor that the x-men had returned, and as he tried to introduce himself to the girl who he hadn't seen before... she ran off. Probably not the social type... or far too social... Mathew looked at the professor, Shall we then? came the professor's voice to his mind. And Mathew quietly followed, wondering if the professor was even aware of the network... Off course he was, he is Charles Xavier, the most powerful telepath on the planet. And although that thought struck him as completely logical, he wasn't entirely certain if it was his own...

When they got to the Hangar, they were just in time to see the X-men getting ready to fight, Mathew eyed the situation with interest, but the hostile air deflated when the professor informed them that the creature was in fact to stay, much to Mathew's distrust... and not just Mathew's appearently.

He was asked to watch over the students for the rest of the day, appearently they had some interesting business to talk about... probably the mission, but first they were to move to the professor's study, where Mathew would be introduced to the X-men...

"What? First Creed and now a Frost?" Scott cried out to the professor, "What has gotten into you?!" Appearently he was having one of his moods again, the Professor paid no real heed to it, but continued "He is a gifted telepath... -Wow, Professor Xavier called me gifted!- and telekinetic as well. He will be teaching the psionic students, and... if he will... help Hank in the infirmary." Hank eyed Mathew with his usual kind smile, "Help would be much appreciated."

"So he's here to replace Jean?" Wolverine concluded, almost instantly Scott shot back at him, "No one can replace Jean." A audiable vibration in his voice made it clear that he was far from over her. The grief in the other x-men's heart was still present, but Scott -as always- was being a bit of a drama king. He simply hadn't been the same after Jean had died.

Kurt was the first to accept this new addition to the staff, he knew what it was like to be judged by something like looks or a last name, "Willkommen, Herr Frost." And soon Ororo and Colossus followed, only Logan and Scott merely grunted a little.

Mathew smiled, "Well, I'm afraid i have to look after the children now." He concluded, hinted to this by the professor's side glance at the clock, and he left the room to make certain the students would leave the harmless squirrels alone when testing their powers...
