Scott walked into the mansions vast dining room and sat at one of the tables, he heard Charles wheel himself in.

"Hello Professor." Scott said.

"How did you know that I was a professor?" Charles asked knowing that he hadn't told anyone about his title.

"Hank told me, just before he threw me out of his workshop." Scott said with a slight smile, for the first time that week he finally felt comfortable and able to relax and he had only been in the mansion for about six hours.

"Yes, well I just went to see Hank myself and he gave me something to give to you." Charles said with a smile.

"What is it?" Scott asked, excitement welling up inside him.

"Hold on." Charles said and slipped the glasses on Scott's face, securing them over his ears.

"Scott, open your eyes." Charles said happily.

"No! I can't you know I can't!" Scott said worriedly.

"Scott, trust me and open your eyes!" Charles said in a more authoritative tone of voice.

Scott's face relaxed and Charles watched as his eyelids flickered slightly and Scott opened his eyes, all Scott could see was red, but there were no explosions.

"Marvellous!" Charles exclaimed in delight happy that his young charge could see again.

"Oh my god, this is…I mean I can…" Scott stammered unable to find words, he was just so happy.

"How does it feel?" Charles asked.

"I can feel the energy coming out of my eyes, but it feels good, I mean it feels great! My headache's gone!" Scott exclaimed delightedly. He'd had a headache for the last four days in a row it only eased when he had his eyes open, now it was gone completely.

"Hank wanted me to let you know, that he is also working on a visor, one that will be more secure on your head, these glasses were just for now, just to ease your mind and allow you to finally get some sleep." Charles said knowing that this young man hadn't slept properly in the last four days and was completely exhausted.

"Thank-you, thanks so much, you will never know how much I appreciate this, you are a wonderful man, with a dream that has already helped me, and I want to help you." Scott said earnestly, finally feeling like he belonged somewhere.

"I would be honoured to have your help and Scott – you are most welcome." Charles said feeling choked up, happy that he now had a son figure in which he could share everything he had learned.

Scott stood up shell-shocked; he had thought it would have taken years to find him a cure, years of darkness, years of fear. But thanks to the hard work of both Charles and Hank, he had the ability to see again.

Just four days ago, Scott had been in the pits of despair, but now, now his life looked like it was looking up, and he owed it all to Charles Xavier.

3 Months Later…

Scott Summers got out of bed and looked outside, the weather was clear and bright and Scott smiled, today was the day that their training room was to be tested after being completed yesterday.

The training room was filled with state of the art machinery including holograms, it ran on a computer programme that Charles himself had designed and made. Hank and Scott with the occasional help from Logan had done all the hard work and the heavy lifting, it had been hard, but now the job was complete, and today they would run a simulation and see how well the training room worked.

Scott pulled on his sweats and ran down the stairs, the whole mansion was so dull and dingy, and Scott knew that some day soon they would need to focus on the actual house and not just the lower levels.

Scott ran down the corridor and entered his password into the computer system at the door; the mechanical voice rang out – "User 004 Scott Summers." And the doors opened.

Scott looked around the room with a sense of pride, he was so happy that he had been able to help to create something as amazing as this room.

"Scott, welcome, are you ready to give this room a go?" Hank asked pleasantly over the intercom, Scott looked up at the observation deck and saw Hank and Charles watching with wide smiles on their faces.

"Absolutely!" Scott said enthusiastically.

"Hold up kid, you got me working with ya." Logan walked into the room wearing his own sweats; Logan had a wide smile on his face.

"Should have known." Scott said with a smirk on his face, he and Logan had developed an easy-going bond over the last few months.

"Shut it! – Chuck, Hank – fire this bad boy up!" Logan yelled and smirked, releasing six long bone claws.

Scott remembered the shock of seeing those claws for the first time, when they had been trying to cut some metal the saw broke, looking as though the men would be set back a couple of hours, when Logan had shrugged and released those six deadly claws.

Charles, Hank and Scott had all gaped open-mouthed.

"What you never see a mutant before?" Logan asked and carried on with his work; the group smiled and did the same.

'Computer simulation number one – the warm up.' A female mechanic voice rang out and the room morphed around them, the silver walls became an empty dojo, with training mats and blocks all over, it was one of Charles' holograms.

"This is amazing!" Scott said in wonderment seeing that everything looked, and felt real.

"Sure is kid, now get ready!" Logan said sensing the danger moments before it occurred.

The doors in the holographic dojo burst open and the windows shattered allowing twenty or so ninja's into the room, Scott was not a fighter, but he did what came natural, also using his new visor to allow control blasts to take out as many of his opponents as possible.

Logan on the other hand was a phenomenal fighter, he took out many of the ninja's with his fighting skills alone, and towards the end of the fight he allowed his berserker rage to take effect ripping into the enemy easily.

Charles sat watching all of this display with a look of amazement on his face.

"Hank this is amazing – they fight phenomenally, it strikes me that they should be doing this…" Charles said allowing his train of thought to drift off, for it was a thought that needed much deliberation and much contemplation.

Charles had, had another idea, he watched on the news just the other day on how there were hundreds of anti-mutant activists who had decided to be vigilantes and take the law into their own hands, there were also aspects of the government who were taking mutants and experimenting on them. The regular police couldn't seem to do anything about it – but what about 'special' police – 'special' police who had say; mutant powers?

Ok end of chapter - not as long as some of em are going to be, so mainly it's kind of a filler chapter.

Hope that you all are liking it - would love it if you'd just drop me a line it would really make my day ;) Also wanted to say a special thanks to Musagirl15, L'ange-Sans-Ailes, and Dragon004 - who reviewed again!

There will be another chapter up tomorrow - it's already written and chapter six is well on it's way ;) xx
