Heidi Williams had made major strides since that day. Not in communication. Progress on her social side was sure but slow. She still had not the courage to ask Shawn out even though they had become closer, and talked almost every day. No, in her academics, she had passed many, many more classes. In combat, she had trained her body further and had become incredibly adept at using her new, properly built exoskeleton.

She as glad to see the back of the president of the Alkali Corporation. She has been one of the parties responsible for his arrest, using the files she took from his office. In the process, she had made a few friends in high places, that she'd be very glad to keep when sh graduated. Heidi was determined to see her vision through now more than ever; a world where mutants can be, if not accepted in the near future, at least safe and educated, with laws protecting them. She would set mutantkind on a path that will one day end in true equality. The first step when she graduated here was to help pass the Mutant Registration laws. Then, she'd take what she'd learned here by watching the goings on, and make a million Xavier's Schools, all over the world.

As she headed down to class in her black vest, showing off her toned arms, she was feeling a lot more confident than just over six years ago. She wondered who she'd meet today.

Tobias Wolf was helped across the street by a kind gentleman. He thanked the stranger, while nursing a strong desire to lash out at the good Samaritan. "This doesn't make up for anything, Non-Mutant!" he wanted to scream, but deep down knew that the man in question was blameless, and a genuinely good person. That just made his anger worse. All the pain the man's kind had done to Tobias' kind, and thinking these thoughts made [b]him[/b] the bad guy. Where was the justice in that?

He entered the law firm that served as their base, white cane clattering on the ground. He didn't really need it. He only used it because people don't expect a man who walks around confidently and assuredly to not know the colors of things, or not know objects that are contained in a box of clear glass. He was actually blind. That was the one thing about him that he didn't need to hide. It was also the only thing he wanted to hide.

Entering the staff only door, Tobias discarded his cane in the umbrella rack. The tall, handsome blond Austrian boy then went around, chatting to his fellow clan members in heavily accented English. He was happy amongst those of either of his own kind, be it dhamphirs or mutants. If they were also both, then all the better.
