Sophie was taken aback. She honestly hadn't expected Mr Xavier to be so responsive and forthcoming in answering her first question. But now it seemed so obvious. She rubbed her forehead tiredly - she hadn't slept properly in months. She had contracted a mild form of insomnia after the car crash, and often struggled to concentrate. 

"Why bother?" she found herself blurting out. It wasn't exactly the type of question she had been planning to ask but somehow, in his company, Sophie found herself talking about the first thing that popped into her head. 

"You hide your school away from non mutants, knowing would happen if people knew and yet you still believe that you can live in peace? Don't worry, by the way. I will not tell anyone. My interest is purely in the information you possess."
