"You did all that for Dylan?" Cassie asked quietly.

Hank shrugged. "I remembered Dylan's love for Buzz Lightyear. So it was a simple matter of telling Jean and Charles that. Most of the children come here after traumatic events, so we try to make the rooms as comfortable as we possibly can for each new one, after all coming possibly hundreds of thousands miles away can be scary."

Hank took her to the third floor. "This floor is for the teens, my room is that one right there and this is to be you room." He said pointing to on a door and opening another door a few doors down from his room. The room he showed Cassie was a medium sized and had full size bed in it opposed to a single. The walls to Cassie's room were barren, the bedding plain and her bed was the only bed in there.

"I wasn't sure if it was appropriate that I of all people tell how your room should be decorated." Hank said quietly.

Cassie looked at the bare walls and the plain bed and felt depressed; this wasn't her apartment it didn't feel like it. Cassie wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

"Thanks." Cassie said quietly.

Hank watched her from the corner of his eye, he watched as Cassie looked around at the dark green walls and grey carpet. Her shoulders slumped and her face grew more and more glum, Hank was at a loss of what to do. He wanted to take Cassie in his arms and try to make her feel better but he wasn't sure about how he would be received. Finally he placed a hand on her arm gently.

"Hey."

Cassie looked up into his blue face, searching his face for an answer. Answer to what she didn't know. "Yes?"

She felt his thumb rub soothing circles on her skin, Cassie felt herself relaxing under that small touch. It was becoming harder and harder for her to resist him, why did he had to be so thoughtful? Cassie wondered if this was how Cara felt when her old boyfriends came back to her, for all the wrong reasons.

Did you ever feel split in two Cara; did you ever question whether it was right to get back with the men that had hurt you? Was this how you felt when Robert came walking back into your life.

"If you need anything at all Cassie I'm just down the hall, you remember which room I'm in?" Hank asked quietly.

"Ya, I remember." Cassie mumbled.

Hank stood there trying to think of something else to say, finally she turned away and walked towards the bed. "I'm tired Hank."

Hank felt Beast rear up and try to take over suddenly, images of holding Cassie tightly and nuzzling her neck in his head. "I'll leave you alone then." Hank said walking to the door briskly as Beast fought harder for dominance throwing more images of comforting Cassie in bed in Hank's face. Hank really doubted Cassie wanted to be in bed with him anymore, and if she did she would want Hank with the big feet. Not Hank and Beast in her bed with her.

Cassie's duties at Xavier's began the next day, which consisted of being in charge of four of the younger children. Two boys and two girls, normally an adult would at minimum have six young charges to be aware of but since Cassie was new and human she was given four. The purpose being so that way every child's needs were met, splitting the younger children up and given to older guardians to keep a close eye on made things easier. Cassie learned her job meant she was to care for all of the students at Xavier's but these four she was to keep a closer eye on then the rest, and in a year she would receive new charges and these four would be under the care of a new mentor. The Professor told her it was so that way the children could experience being under the care of different people, so that way they would have a wide variety of sources to learn from

Dylan was one of her charges as well as the boy who he shared a room with Jason Clark, according to the file Cassie was given to study Jason had the ability to make picture replica's of himself. The replica couldn't speak or have physical contact with anyone else, but it would look exactly like Jason did from his toes to his clothes. Jason had dark brown hair, glasses, green eyes and freckles on his face he loved using his powers to scare Cassie half to death. Already he'd made one of his replica jump out of a window on the third floor, Cassie hadn't realized it was a fake Jason jumping to his imaginary death not the real one. Jason was a playful boy the same age as Dylan and the person he loved to prank the most was his human mentor Cassie. Cassie wondered if Jason's plan was to scare her so bad she had a heart attack.

The two girls Cassie was in charge of were Laura Riddler and Susie Slifer; Laura had jet black hair with curls that could put a professionally done hair style to shame all the way down to her lower back. Her eyes were such a dark brown they were almost black, and were shaped in such a way that they seemed to smile. Cassie could already tell by her facial features that when Laura hit maturity she'd be a bombshell on legs, was it bad that Cassie envied Laura's curls the smallest bit. The girl would wake up in the morning and her curls would still look smooth and unfrizzed, where Cassie would always have a fight with her frizz. Laura was the eldest of Cassie's charges at ten years old, and had the ability to sense the wants and emotions of those around her. Before she'd come to Xavier's she had been unable to control it and was picking up on the emotions of everyone around her for miles, it had gotten to the point where her parents had almost checked her into a psych ward because of how violent Laura's powers made her behave sometimes. Now she could control how far out her powers went and could focus them on individual people. Laura was a calm girl and very good at telling what it was you wanted, as well as confident in herself and her abilities.

Susie Slifer was the youngest of Cassie's charges at six years of age, and the complete opposite of Laura. She had the biggest brightest green eyes Cassie had ever seen, her hair fell in soft sandy waves over her shoulders. A heart shaped face and features that gave her a look of complete innocence, while Laura and Jason's powers were something they could hide inside themselves Susie's mutation was external like Dylan and Hank's. Susie was covered in silvery scales that seemed to catch the light from the tips of her fingers to the underside of her neck, from what Cassie could tell her legs were covered as well. She had scales like Dylan, but unlike Dylan her scales weren't of the reptilian kind. Where Dylan bore snake like traits, Susie had the traits of a fish. Which meant her skin dried out like crazy, bathes and showers were a serious business for Susie, if her skin wasn't kept moist it dried out and cracked horribly. It was painful and scary to behold, Cassie had only seen pictures of the last time it happened and it made her stomach churn. A special gel had been made just for Susie's skin to help maintain it's moisture, Hank and the Professor had expressed firmly that Susie fishlike body meant she could breath under water and twice a month she had to use that ability to help her insides out otherwise her immune system would try to shut down. Water was crucial for Susie's survival, she was human so could survive out of water but her mutation made it to where she could not for long drawn out periods of time, and to make matters worse Susie had a deathly fear of being submerged in water.

Cassie looked at the four children sitting at the table eating breakfast and for the hundredth time that morning she wondered. Am I really qualified for this? Cassie's job was to watch over them make sure their specific needs were met, make sure they went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up and got dressed for class at 8:30am. Make sure they got help on any class work they had, and went to the lab at 12:30pm every Monday to practice controlling their powers.

Cassie had prepared herself as she would for a night babysitting, she was wearing a pair of cargo pants an epi pen in one pocket because Laura was allergic to bee stings, a tube of Susie's gel, tissues because Jason had a cold, and a prayer to the lord above she didn't screw this up.

Cassie walked over just as they were finishing their oat meal. "Hey guys you ready for your first periods?"

"I'm sick!" Jason whined sneezing dramatically in his bowl.

Laura rolled her eyes, and Susie made a sound of disgust at the snot oozing down Jason's face, while Dylan laughed as Jason tried to touch him with a booger covered finger.

"Ewww." Cassie said as she wiped Jason's face with some of her tissue stash, then she held a tissue to his face. "Blow."

"Nope." Jason said around the tissue grinning.

Cassie shook her head, he reminded her of Nico and like Nico she was going to have to convince him.

"Okay don't blow your nose, but when your head swells up don't come to me." Cassie said airly as she took the tissue away.

"Swell?" Jason squeaked.

"Yep, when you don't blow your nose sometimes you head just keeps filling up with snot and swells up then… BANG!" Cassie clapped her hands together. "It'll just pop right off."

Jason snorted. "Right like that'll ever happen."

"She's right you little pest and I hope I'm that one who pops you head when it does." Growled a voice behind Cassie. She jumped and looked to see Logan standing behind her a cup of coffee in hand. The tissue in her hand was snatched up and suddenly Jason was blowing his nose eagerly.

"Alright runts go get ready for class." He said before taking another swig of coffee, the kids ran off without question.

Cassie was surprised that this man could get unwavering obedience out of these kids; Cassie looked over at the man and re-thought that. Logan was an intimidating man to say the least; he was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a wife beater. Which let all see the iron hard muscles on his arms, his hair was wild looking and the rough stubble along his jaw gave him a roguish look. Cassie had to admit he was good looking, there was something about him that made her think of a wild animal and it made him pleasing to look at. Suddenly he turned his attention to Cassie.

"A head swelled from snot?" He asked one dark eye brow rising.

Cassie smiled ruefully and shrugged. "It worked on my nephew."

Logan snorted. "Scaring children into getting what you want out of them."

Cassie blanched. "Oh No, I didn't mean to uh-"

"You'll make it around here."

Cassie blinked. Then realized he was serious.

Logan was confused when the woman standing next to him began to laugh, he looked at her and couldn't help but look her figure over. She wasn't that bad looking, smooth skin and an ass that fit in those cargo pants of hers nicely. Logan's shape ears picked up a soft sound from across the room; he looked around quickly to see what it was. Then he heard it again, Hank sitting at a table and a soft growl escaping from his cavernous chest. Logan grinned at the fur ball then took a careful step closer to Cassie. Hank growled lowly again this time sharp teeth were bared in Logan's direction. Logan could tell that the fur ball and Cassie weren't done with each other yet, he wasn't honestly interested in her… but it was fun to fuck around with Hank McCoy's head.

Cassie walked out of the dining room she had to go help Susie put her skin gel on, Cassie was passing a passing doorways on her floor when suddenly she was grabbed and dragged into on. Cassie squealed as she lashed out at whomever it was, Cassie suddenly found herself back against a door and a wall of angry blue fur in front of her. Hank had his hands on either side of Cassie on the door, effectively trapping her there, he was so close to her she could feel his body heat.

"Stay away from Login." He said quietly.

Cassie looked up at him and saw his eyes doing that flashy thing again from blue to gold. "Huh?"

"Just stay away from him, he's not good for you Cassie." Hank snapped.

Cassie glared up at the towering figure in front of her. "Hank, I don't even know what you're talking about. I just talked to him this morning at breakfast." That was all she did she'd asked Login questions about the school and everything a few times he'd made her laugh. Cassie blinked as a thought hit her. No way, he's not?

"Hank are you jealous?" Cassie asked.

"NO!" He answered his eyes flashing a vibrant gold once more.

Cassie felt her lips turn upwards into a grin, Hank was jealous and it made Cassie happy for some reason. "Hank McCoy is jealous." Cassie said triumphantly.

Suddenly his face was a breath from hers, Cassie still and found herself caught up in the way his eyes held hers prisoner. "I am not jealous of that meat head." He breathed.

That was the last thing Cassie registered before she found him kissing her, it was light at first a sift brush of his lips against hers. Cassie let out a surprised breath and Hank took the opportunity to kiss her more deeply, Cassie didn't seem to have any control of what her body did next. Suddenly she found herself pressed firmly against the wood of the door, Hank's arms wrapped around her firmly and his mouth on her. Cassie should have been appalled but she just kissed him back feverishly, his tongue gently traced the seam of her lips begging for entrance which she gave. Cassie dug her hands into the fur on his arms, her fingers lost in its thickness.

Hank hadn't meant to kiss her but he would be lying if he said he hadn't wanted to, when he saw her at breakfast laughing with Login of all people. Beast had roared and snarled even more when Hank saw the man look Cassie over, Hank felt his hands digging into the table top. Now Hank found himself kissing her like he was a drowning man and she a long drink of water, Cassie's lips were softer than he remembered and the way she smelled and tasted was divine. He couldn't stop himself from holding her close trying to get as much contact as he could with her. Then when he felt Cassie kiss him back, Beast roared in victory and Hank honestly wanted to as well. Her soft body just seemed to fit like a jigsaw against him, Hank slowly moved his lips from hers to the underside of her jaw and neck kissing the skin there slowly. Hank was desperate to touch as much of her as he could, he heard and felt Cassie take a gasp of air her small hands wrapping around him to pull him closer.

"Miss Cassie where are you!"

They both stiffened at the voice, Hank pulled his head away and met Cassie's eyes. Her face was flush and her eyes dazed he wanted to kiss her all over again and were about to as well before.

"Miss Cassie, Susie needs help with her gel!" Called Laura from the hallway.

Cassie gently but firmly pushed against Hank's shoulders, making it clear she needed to go.

Cassie felt so flustered she just wanted to stay right here pressed against this door in Hank's arms, but she couldn't blow off her duties.

"I have to go." Cassie whispered.

Hank nodded reluctantly, and then surprised Cassie by brushing another soft kiss to her lips before moving to open the door for her. Cassie shivered as his arms slid from around her and she lost the heat his body provided. "If you need any help at all just come find me." Hank breathed as he held the door for her.

Cassie knew her face was on fire as she scuttled out the door. Dammit I was supposed to stay strong Cassie thought.
