Clara felt the vision replay in her mind once more as she couldn't help but stare into Charles' crystal blue eyes. They were hard to read, but it still beared the same hardness of distrust over Erik. He blinked when he examined Erik's face torn up and screaming to the sky, almost as if he's never seen that side of him before. If Clara had to be honest, she's never seen that side as well; he was always so put together and rarely let anyone through to know his true feelings. Even her, the one woman who seemed to be the closest thing he had to a on-and-off girlfriend for so many years.

Charles sighed as he leaned back, "I can see why this is troubling you, Clara"

Clara leaned in, "What does it mean?"

Charles finally let his fingers slid as he rubbed them around his mouth, he stared down to his desk. Ever since getting the vision, Clara couldn't sleep as she knew in the pit of her stomach that something was wrong and not just with Erik. There was a massive windstorm that was around him which could possibly mean a mutant attacking him but then Erik wasn't the type to cry in front of an enemy. No matter how she spinned her point of view of the vision, she couldn't figure out how everything played out in the future.

"You've had visions of him come to you on your own before" Charles stated.

"Yes, but never ones like this" Clara argued.

Charles shrugged, "You never know with Erik, he's a very complex man"

"But you and I both know that he's not the type to show that much emotion"

"I am aware of that"

"It's been so long since I had a vision of him and I wasn't thinking about him before it all happened" Clara got up and paced behind her chair.

"Oh, no, I definitely believe you. Your train of thought didn't trigger it which meant that your power did" Charles stepped in.

When Clara first came to the school, she still tried to find Erik even without Cerebro, hoping that a vision will show where he ended up. Instead, when she finally got one of him, it just showed Clara him living his life without her; finding a woman, getting married, and having a child. Eventually, she stopped but her mind was so used to finding Erik that whenever she had a vision, it would either start with Erik or ended with him until finally the reflex died down.

She couldn't help but feel defeated whenever she saw him happy with someone and giving her everything that she wanted from him. Clara swallowed hard as she turned around and faced Charles who seemed to be avoiding one word in particular.

She too hated trying to bring it up but she couldn't help but feel like there was something more to the vision then it let on.

"Just at least try it once, Charles" Clara begged.

"You know I can't" Charles told her, "Your vision is distressing, yes, but not something to go fully on. It may be that your psychic bond is still attached to him and when he displayed a raw emotion, it triggered it. Plus, you told me long ago to never let Erik know that you work here so how will I tell him that it was in fact, me that had a vision of something like this happening when he clearly knows it's not my power"

"I know, but that was before getting something like this" Clara sighed, "Something's wrong, I can feel it"

Charles sighed, "Look, maybe tonight I can go to Cerebro and check his mind just to make sure everything is alright. But I'm warning you, he will sense my presence. I taught him many years ago and I will not be surprised if he does remember the feeling. You just can't be there. You will have to trust my word, do you understand?"

"Yes" Clara mumbled as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Good, now if you excuse me, I have a class to teach" Charles wheeled himself out of his desk, signalling that their meeting had come to an end.

"Hey, was there a meeting I missed, I saw you and Charles leave his office before I went to my class?" Hank asked once he found Clara in the hallway.

Clara shook her head, "It was just a one on one talk"

Hank sighed, "Good, cause I've missed plenty. It's just that I-"

"Keep your head in your gadgets" Clara smirked, "I trust you got a good night's sleep"

Hank shrugged, "To be fair, most of my inventions are being used here. Like the obstacle course that you love to put up. But yes, I got a good night's sleep, thanks for asking"

"Good"

"So what was the talk about?"

Clara rolled her eyes, "Do you always have to pry?"

Hank chuckled, "I'm just curious"

Clara lied, "Just about taking the kids on a field trip or something"

"The backpacking trip" Hank sucked in his breath.

"Well, it was worth a shot" Clara shrugged.

"Couldn't hurt for trying, I know your students would've loved it. But maybe backpacking with a bunch of kids in the woods and mountains isn't the best thing to do"

"Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that others won't. Some kids love the outdoors, maybe you should come as my co-teacher"

Hank scrunched up his face, "No thanks. I think I'm busy"

"Oh, come on! A little bit of fresh air couldn't hurt" Clara pressed.

"I have a bunch of air here" Hank waved his hands around.

Clara shrugged, "You would be missing out then"

Hank shook his head, "Maybe Michael can? He likes being outdoors and probably has been a boy scout before. You should ask him"

"I would if it were a green light" Clara reminded him.

Hank glared, "So you only wanted to talk about me tagging along just for the fun of it?"

"Yup! And the reaction was priceless! You, my friend, have absolutely no life" Clara teased.

"I hate you, next time you ask for a new obstacle course, I'm going to demand money" Hank said as he walked down the hallway.

Clara called after him in a sing-song voice, "No, you won't"
