Anthony chuckles, "You really must calm down, Ms. Rayne. Too much stress will lead to an early grave. There's something that I've been wondering about. Perhaps the only reason you haven't been able to use your powers is because Professor Xavier said you couldn't, and you automatically believed him? Will you be a doll and try for me? Call me back once you have." He hangs up the phone and begins humming as he drives.

Kijani stared at the phone after it went silent. "Doll? Really, Luthor?" She shook her head and pocketed it. She had tried, the first few nights, to break the block. It hadn't done anything at all. Even when she was under severe stress, her powers had yet to show. She returned to Connor and smiled in apology. "Prank call." She sighed, her anger having fizzled out. "I'm tired, Connor... I think I'm just going to go back to my room and pass out for a while." It was more truth than lie. She was tired, but she could have managed to spend more time with him. But there was her mission to attend to tomorrow, and she wanted to be at full focus. "Walk me home?"
