Porter put his wifebeater back on after the nurse cleared him. He, like most of the team, had some stiches here and there. Putting his glasses on, he walked into the hallway and took the elevator up. He needed to take stock of all the students. Some would need counselors... if they stayed at the Institute. Three of them weren't students here.
On the first level he was Blair practically collapsed onto a chair and crying. Not that it wasn't expected.
Porter pulled up a chair in front of him and sat down, "Blair, the first thing you have to understand that whatever happened out there isn't your fault. You had no control over the demon in your head. None of you did. The sooner you forgive yourself the sooner you will be able to move on."
That was a lesson Porter learned himself a long time ago, "When I was around your age, I was was still in a government program... they altered our mutant abilities making us super mercenaries... brain washing us... I did some terrible things that I would never do in my right mind, and I hated myself for it and I isolated myself for it. Xavier was the one who got me out of the cycle... If you want help, I'm a teacher and counselor here. You're more than welcome to stay here as long as you want."

Before Jacen could answer about the beach, Penny did throw a shoe at the door when Freya left, "Why do people keep saying that?"

Jack_Hawksmoor "And. So. It. Took. You. A. Whole. Year. To. Get. Here?" asked Pietro, finally replacing the last of his damaged goods right after the word "here". He surveyed the room, and rolled his eyes a bit at the thought of his dad dumping yet another mutant drifter on their doorstep. "Well, if you got dad's support then I guess you're welcome here, and Pyro will welcome you too once he hears about that," Pietro said, a bit more distracted in making his room look good than he was in actually meeting his new guest. He still didn't bother asking her name yet. On his way out for one last trip, this time to grab som accessories he'd been meaning to steal now anyway, he couldn't help but notice out of the corner of his eye that Wanda had retreated to a bush with her present, and if he didn't know better, he could swear she was crying. He stopped running, pausing for a few seconds which felt like an eternity with his metabolism shot up as high as it was at the moment. He searched himself for something to say, but nothing came. He couldn't even bring himself to walk over there, because if Wanda really was crying, he would have to see her as his sister and best friend once more. And he couldn't handle that at the moment. An instant later he arrived back in his room, the girl still there. "I think I'd rather be alone at the moment," he muttered, trying to sound annoyed instead of hurt. (((Was all of this directed at little ol' me?)))

Blair lifted himself up on the couch and whiped the tears from his eyes. He stared at Porter, feeling his actual concern for him, the worry he emitted, the compassion.
"....so you do understand. I know that Pharoah wasn't me...and I have to make up for the things I, he, we..whatever did. But I'm going to need some help..."
He looked around the room and then back at Porter.
"So, is this the institute everyone was talking about? The one where I can recieve teaching and learn how to control my....gifts?"
He looked down at his hands and then rubbed his eyes.
"Sorry, by the way, ya know...about the tree..." He smiled.

"I'll accept your apology on one condition," Porter said and stood up.
"What's that?" Blair looked concerned.
"You don't apologize again. Nobody is going to blame you. Come on, I'll give you the tour," Porter motioned him down the corridor.

Blair smiled and thought about how he might actually be fitting in somewhere. A place that could accept him AND help his abilities manifest correctly.
"This is amazing...but are you sure I can stay here? I mean, you said you're a teacher and all...but you don't run this school, do you?"
As he spoke he looked around the building admiring the different aspects and people as they walked by.

"Professor Charles Xavier, one of the worlds most known philatropists... and leading world telepath," Porter opened up the various doors to the library, lounge, and kitchen. The Institute was standardly impressive.
"I am absolutely positive that you are welcome here, and I will also request that you be put onto Evelyn and Regina's team... You will learn a lot from the entire team. Very good group of people..."
"Why not your team?" Blair asked.
Porter wasn't sure of his position himself as not to interfere with his relationship with Regina, "I'm more of a consultant for the team... it's complicated. They're sort of 'junior' X-Men. My teaching team is going to be very young kids coming into the school. We have students from the ages of 10 to 19... A verly eclectic place, but I will put in a request to be your advisor."

"Those two girls seemed very nice. I'd like to be in their team, definately. And you as my advisor? Today must be my lucky day...Well, apart from the whole mind-control business and whatnot."
He laughed nervously and then stopped and looked at Porter with a look of worry.
"What about Teagan? I mean, we had only just met...and weren't all that close, but...is she allowed to stay too?"

"Xavier has somewhat of an open door policy," Porter took Blair to see the gym and training facilities, "Anybody is allowed in and anybody is allowed to leave. If Teagan chooses, she's more than welcome to stay here as long as she wants. The teachers do their best to make a lesson for each student to learn things they wouldn't learn in Bayville High... and to learn how to use their abilities."
God, since when did I become an Xavier spokes person? I'm poster boy for 'folks who shouldn't be teachers.'
"The kids here... some stay when they're done and some go. Some want to be X-Men and some want to go have a normal life elsewhere. It's up to everybody what they want to do and nobody is going to force you to do anything you don't want."
Porter took Blair up to the student rooms and look a vacant sign off of one of the doors, "I'll set this up as your room. Nice view of the gardens. Morgan is on your left, and the boy's locker room is on the right. I believe Forge is acrossed the hall. The girls are on the other side opposite the main stairwell."

Stay with the brotherhood
This is what Wanda remembered when Noko asked her to come to the beach with them. Since she still didn't have any news on the blond...
"Fine. I'll come."
Then the new girl came. Wanda didn't feel very comfortable with all the new kids suddenly popping out of nowhere. "Why don't you ask Noko about that? I'm sure she'll invite you where there is a party."
"Beach? Hmmm... A nice occasion for me to wear that nice hot new bathing suit. Sure! I'll come!" cheerfully answered Freya to Regina's invitation. "And don't worry about Porter. He'll surely jump on you at the first occasion you'll be alone. Let him do all the work. He does have some experience in that," she continued in a whisper.
She saw Regina turned as red as a tomato and laughed. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Just wear something sexy. Since you can't have any eye contact, show him how great your body is. We all have our shares of stiches here so I'm sure he won't mind. Besides, a man with scars can be sexy," she finished with a small kitty purr.

Sasha seemed a little hurt, but refused to show it. "It took me a while to come back because of the momories that remained here. Like you, my mother died, and I was never as close to my father as I had wished. He left me when I was six, and I never saw him again." Sasha was hugging herself, not realizing that she was actually letting him know her soft side.

Pietro stared at her, his initial instinct to give her s**t for speaking in pure exposition, or to ask her with indignance as to how the ******** she seemed to know so much about him. But luckily for her, he was in a particularly low mood at the moment, and actually felt sympathetic.
"... well I'm sorry," he said. "But if you stay here long enough, and keep from pissing us off long enough... you'll find something to replace your family."
He then turned away and whispered to himself. "Hopefully she will too..." thinking of Wanda.

Sasha was almost surprised by his sudden "kindness". "Well, both of my parents were mutants. My father could control sand and my mother could see people's dreams and nightmares," and she looked at him. "And I know that one of your dreams is to have you, your sister and your father together." She got up. "You know, you and I are more similar than you realize, and if you ever want to talk, you know where I am."
She walked out the door, but her head popped back in. "But don't think I'm a pushover, I'll still kick your back, since you don't have an a**," and vanished.

"Professor," Jean said looking in on Teagan, "Are you sure you want to entrust me with this?"
Xavier nodded, "Yes, Jean, I think you are ready to face this task. All you need to do is to reverse the telepathic damage. Get rid of this beast that is in her head."
Jean nodded, slightly nervous. She walked into Teagan's room and sat beside the unconscious girl. She put her hand on the girl's head to make a stronger and more direct link.
Teagan, I'm Jean Grey... I am a telepath... a friend. I am going to help rid you of this Venom. Venom is not a part of you. It is something that Dr. Garrison's telepaths created. I need you to help me destroy it. See, it's locked the real you away into the back of your mind. I need you to keep fighting it off and this will let me get rid of it for you. Can you do this for me?

" Besides freya might show and want to go to. "
