Seeking Peace pt 1

By Jenna

 

<Wow! Daddy Warbucks has nothing on Charles Xavier. >

She knew Xavier's school would be big but no one had told her it was the size of a small city.

<Okay country mouse you have come this far. Let's get it over with. >

She ignored the doorbell and knocked instead. She half hoped no one would answer and she could just leave.

<No I have to warn them. It is the right thing to do>

A short man with a strange peak type hairdo answered the door. He had an aura of strength surrounding him.

<They must have been thinking of him when the term dynamite comes in small packages came to be. >

"I need to speak to Charles Xavier please."

His eyes examined her from head to toe.

<Two can play this game. >

Her eyes swept down his body in the same investigating manner he had used. He chuckled and smiled at her show of bravado. Her sense of humor wouldn't let her ignore the situation and she laughed with him.

"I'm sorry Miss…."

"Renden. Kyler Renden." She supplied for him.

"Right well Miss Renden he ain't here at the moment."

"Can you tell me when he will return?"

"This afternoon."

Her face fell in disappointment.

<Damn! I finally get the courage to come here you would think he would at least have enough courtesy to be home. >

"I'll try back later then." She turned to go.

"Wait!" a feminine voice called from behind the hairy man.

Logan, I don't understand everything I am getting from her but it is important.

Logan trusted Jean's instincts so he didn't interfere.

Kyler stopped and turned to face the beckoning voice. The feminine speaker was a beautiful woman with flame red hair.

"Please, won't you stay for lunch? We can get to know each other while you wait for the professor."

Kyler arched one black eyebrow in confusion and question.

"How did you…"

"I am a telepath."

"You're like physic then?"

"Yes I guess you could say that."

<Great this is all I need! Well, take the info from my head so I can be on my way. >

It doesn't quite work that way. Besides whatever information you have I am sure the professor will want to talk to you.

"My name is Jean and this is Logan."

"She said her name was Kyler Renden.'

<He speaks>

Logan can be a little shy.

Logan snorted over that comment. Jean must be sending thoughts to him as well. Kyler looked over Logan's powerfully built frame again.

<Yeah if he's shy cow chips are a delicacy. >

Jean erupted with laughter.
