“You called Charles,” the white
haired beauty asks from the door.
“Yes Ororo,” the telepath answers. “Please come in
and have a seat. I hope I didn’t interrupt anything
important.”
“No,” she shakes her head, a serene smile on her
lips. “I was just on the phone with my sister.”
“Oh, sorry for disturbing you,” he apologizes.
“Its alright,” she settles the matter. “I’ll call
her again sometime.”
“In that case,” he bends forward on his chair and
pushes a file towards her. “These are the new
‘probables’ I have detected.”
“Hmm…quite a few,” she comments, judging by the
thickness of the file.
“Yes,” he nods his head. “The first one, he is
arriving tonight by train.”
“Night Crawler,” she reads the codename. “It doesn’t
say much about his past and powers. Hmmm, blue skin,
three digit hands and feet. Teleportation,” her eyes
widen.
“Yes, he can teleport over short distances, I think
a mile at the most. He is still young, about a
couple of years younger than our current students,”
he informs her.
-----
**Professor Professor** Jean’s telepathic call comes
in.
**Yes Jean** he answers her, raising a hand to let
Ororo about it.
**There has been accident at the football ground**
she informs him.
**Hmmm…** he reads her thoughts. **Scott**
**Yes and there the emergency personnel are here**
he detects the reason, saving another student.
**Don’t worry. Ororo and I will be there shortly**
he ends the communication.
-----
“Problem?” she arches a snowy eyebrow.
“Yes, at the school,” he draws back. “We will have
to make stop over on the way to the station.”
“We should leave immediately then,” she stands up,
as he comes around the desk.
“Yes,” they start towards the garage.
-----
“Professor…” she starts.
“He is on his way,” he offers the answer to her
thoughts, a small smile on his lips. “He’s coming
back.”
“Oh,” she blushes slightly, her heartbeat speeding
up.
‘He’s coming back’
