Telepaths!

A/N Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first chapter, please let me know what you think of this!

I can't do italics, sorry, so from now on any telepathic communication will have apostraohes( 'hello') and non telepathic speech marks( "hello").

Enjoy!

Lena wants to go with this Charles Xavier. It sounds like him and his friends need her help, and what is the point of being who she is without helping people. Her parents and godfather certainly used their powers for good. As does Clint.

Any future away from her fathers department store and the rain of Seattle is welcoming to her. She has to do something. Lena can't go back to the Avengers that she worked with for two years, not when they still haven't forgiven themselves for Loki's actions towards her. She persuaded them she was find, but then they heard her screams at night. Her memories of that dark cell in Asgard.

She forgives them, but has to stay true to her word that she will not return to their ranks until they can look her in the eyes and tell them that they don't blame themselves for what she endured. If only she didn't miss Clint so much.

That's another reason she wants to go. To take her mind off her best friend. And only friend.

So maybe going with Xavier will be good for her. Lena doesn't need to use her telepathic mind reading skills to know her father doesn't want her to go. Yet another thing Loki ruined was her fathers trust in her. Which is why she has been stuck here for two years, ever since she blew up Loki's palace. He wasn't harmed.

Also, this man is a telepath. A mutant. Someone like her. Yes, some of her powers she inherited, but the rest she gained through her mutation. Her parents never really understood that. He's like her. Well, of course he is, he is who she copied the mutation of telepathy from. A much more powerful version of him, but him nether the less.

This time, it's not like with Loki, or the Avengers. This time, there's him. Standing there, all blue eyes and dark hair.

So it's not just her fighter instinct and desperation to be seen that is making this decision. A small part of her heart is telling her to go as well. However cheesy that may sound.

Despite her fathers best wishes, she is going to leave him and go with this man. Lena's seen inside his mind a friend who is insecure of herself, and Lena wants to help her. She also sees his confusion at Lena's identity. Why didn't he know? The question bashes against the sides of his head as he turns it over and over in his mind. Well, he promised not to look in their minds, but keeping a thing like that hidden takes a lot of work.

Maybe Charles doesn't trust Reed as much as he did. This is why he finds himself dipping into Reed's mind, searching for any reason he may of had from hiding Lena from him.

Lena notices, then tries to talk to him.

'Get out of his head, Xavier. I can explain everything.' He staggers, then talks back.

'How did you do that?'

'Do what?'

'Get inside my head!' She smirks at his comments.

Reed notices that they've been communicating, muttering something under his breath.

'Bloody telepaths' Charles smiles. There's the Reed he knows. Little does he know how often he is going to be hearing that phrase.

Out loud, Lena says,

"We'd best get going." Reed bits his lip, then stands up, hugging his daughter.

"Be careful. Send me news." He says, and Charles can see his true parenting instincts kicking in. Lena smiles at her dad.

"I'll be fine" she reassures him.

"Of course you will. Good girl." Then he shakes hands with Charles, wandering off. Lean seems perplexed, but Charles sends her a message,

'He's rubbish at goodbyes.' She frowns at the open door.

'I noticed.'

Charles feels a headache coming on. Looks like this telepath business is going to need some practice.
