The professor nodded. "Very good, Ms. Cardinal. Every light you see is a mutant."
He pulled the view out to the city again and the bright light was slightly duller now. The professor placed the helmet on his head and brought it in close enough to see who it was.
Kesshou, made of light, was kneeling over another mutant, both of them very bright. She looked like she just had a go with Wolverine.
"This is strange." Xavier had a troubled look on his face.

"You track people with this machine. What are mutants?"
She asked. She didn't know what to think about that term. It seemed to be a bit prejudice. She looked at Robin and then back at the screen. One of the people she recognized as someone from the Gotham clock tower.

"Mutants are people that have active X-genes that cause them to have special gifts and powers. I am one, as are all my former students." He motioned towards Kesshou in the image.
"You would be considered a mutant as well but from your set of universes it's not an X-gene that causes the transformations. It's usually like my brother and caused by an outside force. Or like some of my dear friends, aliens like your Superman or Starfire."
Xavier thought to Nightshade before he continued, 'I need you to pick up Kesshou and the other one that she's with out in the middle of New York City. Keep the other one restrained.'
He took the helmet off and looked back to the two. "Although with the people from our world here you do have to be careful who you let know that you're a super-powered being, Many of them don't understand us and will lash out in anger."
((If I went a little sideways with this post I'm sorry... I don't think I did))

She looked at the professor showing her confusion.
"If it's too much to ask, what have the Mutants done to deserve such persicution? Why can't people know that I have powers?"
How was she supposed to fight crime or protect Robin without her powers. She wasn't rich like him and she isn't loaded with gadgets like he is either. He can make it without powers using his gadgets. She required them and her powers made her feel flambouent, and gave her a purpose. She started to feel a little more upset about this world. The list to her of the only things she knew about went like this... know one knows you, you can't use your powers because of this worlds predjudice, and the one person you know can't share the same feelings since he's not the same Tim you know... She felt a little down hearted and stepped back away from Robin.

"I didn't say do not use your powers at all. I just don't want to see you hurt. Now that the two worlds have merged there is less people like that in comparison, but there is still the Friends of Humanity that devote themselves to hunting down super powered individuals."

"Professor, the worlds where we're from... a large part of the population respects super-powered beings. Even though most of the vigilantes in Gotham don't have those powers, it doesn't stop us from teaming up with..."
Tim cut his sentence short and looked at the professor, the Titan's Tower immediately jumping back to his mind. He turned quickly to Red Cardinal with a distressed expression, his voice strained further.
"Kai, the Tower..."
He wasn't sure if he should tell her, now of all times.... but she had to know, if she was a Titan too. The Tower... the Teen Titan's home was clear as day, built right along the coast line of San Fransisco. Now Professor Xavier was informing them about the intolerance of 'mutants' in this other world...it wasn't hard to see one of the underlying reasons for its distruction. Tim's expression twisted into anger at the thought. To attack some kids because of their unique abilities... to destroy them merely because they were different. With that logic, one could go as far to say that the majority of Gotham vigilantes were so different from the rest of the world, that they should be destroyed too; or any group of people with special talent, or intellect, or ideals.
With his mind back on the Tower, Tim realized his gaze had started to drift off in his thinkng... he refocused on Cardinal, resuming his concerned look.

"The Titan's tower?"
She looked at him wondering what he meant by the tower. Were they nearby? Did he want to visit the other Titans and meet up with them. She felt a little worried about what they would find. Not that they wouldn't be there or anything like that, but if they were that they also wouldn't remember her. Being a world where no one knows her, where she could disappear and no one would go looking for her upset her a lot.
"I wonder if my friends and family in the other world are worried about me, are they looking for me at this very moment... And I was dragged here, my Robin, our Titans, they'll never find me in my home world. I wonder if they think I'm dead."She thought about this quietly and worriedly. A tear rolled down Red Cardinals cheek as she removed her mask wipe them with he sleeve. She placed her mask in her pocket and looked at Tim with her glowing light brown eyes.
"What are we going to do?"

I'm on it, Professor. I'll be back ASAP, Des mentally sent to Xavier, then folded a shadow to go to Kesshou.

Xavier looked between the two heroes. "I think that you two need to completely catch up before you do anything else. I'll give you access to my databases, if nothing else it'll teach you of our heroes and villains. Or at least the ones from the Earth of the reality we come from."
He Placed his hands together under his chin. He didn't want them doing anything brash and he especially didn't want them being tricked by someone like Mr. Sinister.
He left it up to Tim to explain about the Titan's Tower, it was he who brought it up after all.

"That's a good idea professor. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to use your database."
She said with a sigh. She looked at Robin before she decided to say anything further.
"Robin, maybe it's for the best if we get into street cloths if this world is prejudice towards people with powers and vigilantes."
She took off her red top and held it in her hands. Removing her RC symbol from view leaving her wearing only a black tank top and red overalls.

"So do either of you have any other questions wile you can still hold a mostly clear thought?"
Xavier held his hands open as if to welcome any of their questions.

 With a rather drawn out sigh, the cat sat up and bent his ears back. "Well...this was fun." he said with obvious sarcasm to his voice. "But it looks like I have to leave now. No sense in just sitting here for who knows how many days."With that, and a rather obnoxious "poof" of black smoke complete with sound effects....the cat was gone. EXIT to...um....heck, we'll say UNKNOWN again since I won't exactly be using this particular one again. //// I'll be leaving for a few days, so there's no sense in keeping him here. ///

"Professor if you can trace people... can you trace for a particular person? Like looking for someone who would have a power immense or great enough to create a chaotic world like this?"
She asked. If they could quickly find the culprit, who most likely was in this world, causing this chaos then they could all find their ways home. It was only a shot. Red Cardinal felt as though she had nothing more she could loose, nothing that she wanted to protect and even though she cared about the titan's and the Bat family she felt as though this family this world was an illusion... nothing but a dream and that no matter what happened here it wouldn't amount to anything. Her thoughts got a little loud imagining this world as a dream since it would explain all the craziness that was going on.

Thinking to himself I should try to contact Robin. Pulling out his mini computer. " Robin do you copy... Anyone do you copy." he said into the link. Thinking ti himself." I wonder if they're getting my signal. At least my healing factor healed my nose." he said happy.

Robin hesitated, before pulling off the mask from his face. His bright blue eyes looked between the professor and Cardinal. She was right... now was the time to be a bit more discrete than the usual red, green and yellow uniform. Bruce had always strongly advised against the sharing of identities.... but this was a whole different world they had entered.
After Kai's last question, Tim thought about the idea himself... this was such a powerful machine.... but if it had the power to preform the likes of what she spoke, it would have been just as simple to ask the professor if he knew who or what caused all this in the first place.
