"Turned around?" Strange phrase Jax thought as the blue tailed boy walked back to him and locked his room. Talk soon turned to how long Jax had lived with his mutation as Magnus picked up on how long he had been living rough. 

"It has been a lot longer then two months, it took six weeks to get here, I had to train myself to be able to use my wings for long periods of time; The strength came first - that was the hardest to master, there is no off key to it, learning to temper it was hard - there was a while when I was putting holes in walls, doors and floors, breaking mugs and all sorts, during that the wings came, that was a painful experience as I tried to hide them and out of shame so I did not use them and then lastly my eyes mutated, it was then I could no longer live where I did and the dreams of this place started - training to regain the strength in my wings took time, then after a while I began to make my journey here - having to fly by night, sleep by day."

After he finished Magnus had mentioned about the Professors actions both in detecting him and disarming the alarms; "So His power is mutant detection or mind game stuff - is that how he knew my name?"

Magnus mentioned that not all mutants lived at the mansion as some powers were passive things such as being able to locate other mutants, which in Jax's mind made sense.

As they continued to move through the boys dorms, the lack of noise which accompanied Magnus' movements still had Jax on edge a bit, with his wings involuntarily twitched once or twice. A short while they had passed the library Magnus yanked Jax into a classroom - but saw there was a reason, a small horde of younger students came rushing past, and with it came another explanation which involved a brief of what could be found in the library:

[i]"Adding to the confusion of this place, every room but dorms has two entrances to prevent anyone from ever getting trapped. The library has top line computers, no macs or apples, each one is made here using their own software thought up by the residential geniuses but lots of folk here have a thing for the feel of a real book in hand. Classes are handled on a loose merit system with each class meeting about once a week to discuss things before being given the next week sets of assignments. You are never hard to find study groups here. If you have heard of the x-men already on the news or what not, any student team member has to keep a 4.0 in order to be a candidate for the missions, just like sports in regular high school."[/i] 

"X-men?" Jax responded "Arnt they a vigilante group of thugs?"

They arrived at the kitchen, with Magnus being a gracious host told him the basic rules and etiquette. With that Magnus turned and introduced Jax to - an empty kitchen...

There was a plate of sushi which had been prepared a while ago, but to Jax it was almost like heaven as it had not been sat in a bin for who knows how long, he took two pieces and devoured them quickly. "Compliments to the chef!"

[b]John[/b]

Everything went white, the earth mover thought that this was the end of the nightmare Aya was having and that he would wake up, but this was not the case by a long shot as the white faded and another scene resolved itself to where a strange electrical phenomena which soon settled and resolved itself as a naked Aya holding something, but it had been distorted and twisted by the sort of power Aya was giving off, but his attention didn't last on the charred bit of whatever in her hand as the bigger picture was that there was a (not totally unattractive) naked girl who wore an expression of pain and sorrow on her face, it took a time for the naked Aya to stand up and walk out of the creator stumbling on debris as she went.

In the corner of his eye John saw another ghostly figure floating a short distance away - the Aya who was actually dreaming this but she did not notice the earth movers presence.

A scream ripped though the air, making John shudder at what could of happened to cause such pain and as much as he didnt want to look, something dragged him towards where the dream aya had gone.

Finally the dream aya had made her way out of the creator but she had not walked very far before she had stopped, knelt down and clutched a half body, slightly charred, possibly another fighter in this place of death and hell.

With that John woke up with a start as he was thrown from the bed on to the (luckily) reinforced ground floor room, he shook and shuddered, triggering his power slightly as a small aftershock type earthquake rocked the mansion, but soon stopped as John mastered himself again, standing up, John began to pace, wondering what he should do after witnessing the what could only be some of the horrific things Aya had been through.

Coming to the conclusion that for the time being he would keep what he had seen to himself but he would do his best to watch over the girl, be a friend for her...
