Charles stared at the mutant in front of his car window.
The lizard eyed mutant just waved and said, "Can you let me in, we need to talk."
Erik quickly said, "No." While Charles said, "Yes." At the same time. They looked at each other.
Erik said, "How do we know we can trust him, he could be dangerous."
The mutant defended himself, "If I wanted to kill you," he phased his head partially through the window, "I would've simply just phased into here and slit your throats, and 'sides, you need answers that I was ordered to give you." He phased his head back out. "Now are you gonna let me in or not?"
Erik narrowed his eyes at the mutant, then sighed as he used is power to open the car door.
The mutant jumped in the back while shutting the door, then introduced himself, "Name's Connor Kemberlen, although my superiors call me "Diablo" because of what I look like." He pulled his hood down to reveal brownish-blonde hair, shimmering scales along the top of his forehead down to his neck and disappearing underneath his shirt, and looked to be in his mid-twenties.
Charles was amazed by this boy's features while Erik didn't seem at all surprised.
Charles put his hand out for Connor to shake which he took, "My name is-" "Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnshurr from the 'School for Gifted Youngsters'. First of all, not a bad name, secondly before you two freak out about how I know you, you might wanna see these." Connor interrupted as he pulled out two folders that had their names on them out of his bag and handed them to Charles and Erik.
Charles opened his folder and saw drawings of him and Raven when they first met, a drawing where he jumped into the water to save Erik and a drawing where he kissed Moira Mactaggert before he erased her memories. He felt a pang in his heart as he looked at these pictures.
Erik's folder contain drawings of the day he arrived at the concentration camps where he was being separated from his Mother, the moment where he bent the gates, the day when Shaw wanted him to use his powers at the cost of his Mother, the moment he pushed Sean off the satellite dish and the moment where Shaw is dead at his feet. He felt sadness when he was reminded about how his Mother died and was trying hard not to cry.
These drawings were dated five days before these events occurred.
Erik looked back at Connor who was leaning back in his seat waiting for both of them to be finished with looking at the drawings. "You said that you were ordered to give us answers. So start talking, were you people watching us?" Erik demanded, feeling as though his privacy was violated.
Charles reprimanded, "Erik."
Connor then said, "He has the right to be angry, and just so we're clear, I didn't draw these," he pointed at the pictures, "I'm a crappy artist, that was done by my Abuela. She can see into the future through the decisions people make."
Charles became interested, "Is that so, I have to meet her someday."
Connor held up a hand saying, "And you will at the council meeting that you will attend."
Erik gave him a look, "What meeting are you talking about?"
Connor explained, "It has come to the council's attention that Godsends-meaning you two- outside our organization are taking in and recruiting students and teachers for your school that you are creating so that they can harness and control their powers while giving them decent education. We want to commend you on your accomplishment and purpose. The council wishes to talk with you and to hopefully help each other out."
Erik asked confused, "Help each other out, what's that supposed to mean?"
Connor explained further, "You're not the first school that was created for Godsends such as you and I, my friend."
Charles' excitement was building, "There's another school like ours, seriously?"
Connor grinned, "Yep, you are looking at a graduate from Sinclair Academy for Extraordinary Talents, they've been around for decades."
A thought finally occurred to Erik, "If you people have been watching us, then why come to us now if not earlier?"
He did have a point.
Connor explained, "We needed to make certain that you two are true to your friends, that your wish is to help the next generation, and that you value the peace of both Godsends and humans. Now the wait is over, you two passed the test without realizing it and they want to talk to you in person." He started rummaging in his bag and fished out something,"Here's a card." He handed them a card.
Erik examined the card then turned to glare at Connor, "It's blank." He stated the obvious.
Connor chuckled, "The information about when and where to meet will appear when you reach home." He explained.
Connor looked at the entrance to the hospital and saw a woman walking out and was making her way towards the car that he's in.
Connor clapped his hands together, "Well, that's my cue to leave." He said as he pulled his hood up and glasses on as he phased out of the car. At that moment, the woman smacked him upside the head. "Ow, what was that for?"
The woman only smacked him again but not enough to hurt this time, "Not in a public parking lot, you fool of an hermano." She scolded him. "Did you say what was needed to be said to them?" She sighed as though she didn't sleep lately.
Connor rubbed the spot that was smacked, "Of coarse I did." He turned to Charles and Erik, "This is my older and violent sister, Karina." He introduced.
Charles held a hand out which she took, "Pleased to meet you."
Karina smiled, "And I to Professor Xavier and Professor Lehnshurr. Catalina has been informed about your presence and she along with little Carrie and young Estelle will go with you as soon as Catalina recovered and has full custody over Carrie." She explained.
Charles was astonished at how well these people prepare for just about anything. "Really now?"
Karina nodded, "Yes, it is time we go. We hope to see you in the near future." She bid them farewell as she and her brother walked off to where the cameras can't see, she grabbed on to the shoulder of her brother's hoodie and melted them into the shadows to travel home.
Charles laughed at the encounter he experienced while Erik smirked and shook his head at Charles.
"Shall we go inside now?" Erik asked.
"Yeah let's go." Charles answered as they got out of the car to meet Catalina.
