“This is the cutest thing, Thank you so much love.”

           “——-no, I didn’t not see Star Wars for the tenth time. There are other good movies too,” Tim totally just went to see Star Wars for the tenth time, he really had a problem.

     Scarlet stood in front of the professor’s office, rocking back and forth on her heels. She was nervous, anxious to meet the woman who agreed to help train her. All the other attempts had ended in failure, or with someone getting hurt. She didn’t want it to be the same way this time. 

     Alura was hovering around the door, an indication that the woman inside was genuine and had no malicious intentions. Scarlet smiled to herself. That was reassuring. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door, entering with permission. 

    The blonde giggled a bit at the moment of pandemonium which ensured as she entered, taking a seat across from the professor and returning the brunette’s sincere smile. 

     “Hiya! My name is Scarlet, it’s wonderful to meet you!” She extended her hand to the professor. “Thank you so much for agreeing to help me out.”

Wanda hadn’t really taken a mentee before that hadn’t been directly related to her in some way, but she was always willing to make an exemption.  When Scarlet stood their.  She eye’d the girl closely.

She seemed genuine, which was always good.  “No problem, we mutants have to stick together.” Wanda assured her, a belief she surprisingly learned from her birth father.  Mutants truly only knew what other mutants were going through.

“Would you mind showing me some of what you can do?” She asked unsure if the girl was up for it right now.  “Nothing major just some minor tricks you gathered along the way.”

“What do you teach?”

“Psychology.  You?”

“Yes I am sure.” Jacob said when the other asked if he was okay. “Just tired.” That was a lie. He had been slow to get ready and was only just slipping on his shirt. He was trying to push aside the fact he was beginning to feel unwell. But feeling tired was true, but okay not so much.

Wanda examined her nephew closely.  “You are a liar.” She stated simply furrowing her brow just a bit.  “Go back to your dorm, i’ll tell your teachers you can’t go to class today.”

“I feel like I’ve been grading these assignments for hours. I need to focus on something else for a while.” Selina looked up.

“How are things going with you?”

“I guess that’s what transpires when a bored Val finds a lighter,” she shrugged.

“Well this isn’t as bad as I was expecting so carry on.” Wanda nodded.

“I dunno, are you sure you wanna do this? I could potentially hurt you pretty easily…”

“I’m sure I can handle you.” Wanda replied tightening her gloves.
