Welcome to Gaia! ::

She turned him before motion with her head at the control pad, "It is more complicated than a cellphone these days." She sigh loudly, "All of this, under a school. How on earth do you keep it hidden?"

A sharp and quick hiss came from Caitlin when she noticed his advancements on her. Regardless if it was meant or accidental it didn't matter to her. She quickly jerked back, startled by the outburst like she had no control over it. Running a hand over her face and rubbing her temples with it she let out a long sigh.

"I am animal in nature. I feel cage when I am not outside...I know it is Stryker doing to make this way, but the damage is done and has happened for too long. It can't be reversed. Everyday I see this Feral in me go stronger as I become more threaten and frighten. People scare me, walls scare me, even the dark now frightens me. I use to love the moon when I first ran away. The man in the moon always smiled...now it only tells me that darkness has come and reminds me of how Stryker used what I charish to control, train, and tame me!"

Her body was trembling as memories surfaced and she began to feel even more clastrophobic. She was underground, previously in a medical lab room, surrounded by walls and narrows passages, and in a world she didn't understand or know. She fought to keep her control. She knew William was trying to help, he has been so kind to her when they were children but time had pass and time had change things greatly since then. Caitlin didn't know if she had the will or strength to attempt to recover what had been so painfully ripped from her and attempt to intergrate herself back into the world again. She looked up at William and saw the look he fought to hide.

"Let me guess, she found out...right? She didn't take it well did she? Probably don't know it but she was attacked by a mutant. She still remains neutral but is always fearful. Well at least that was how she was before I left. I know what you want, truely want...but I can't give that to you. Go ahead and tell them you found me. They won't believe much without actually seeing me. I am sorry, rejection from my mother is my ultimate fear." "and destruction," thought Caitlin quietly to herself.

"I don't have the will to even attempt to get back a life of normal standards. People don't run away from other people and live like animals in places that no normal person would stay. I don't want to make a promise I can't keep, with a possiblity of break it. I still have some of my honor intact and I hold on it with what I have left to do so with."

Caitlin straighten and took a deep breath, "Besides, I know Stryker is not a man to let his toys remain lost for long. I will see that cell again someday, most likely sooner than later. I don't want to bring that man down on this school or you....or the one you call Xavier. A life is offered here to people that need it, a second chance for many more. I can't risk that for my own wants, your wants... You all have alot of confidence but Stryker is no fool and not a normal human being. He doesn't take risks, thinks everything through, and patience is his best aspect. He will make sure there is no room for error before attacking to insure sucess. I wouldn't be surprise if he let us escape before...sometimes I don't even think destiny or luck can change the outcome he makes for his plans."

Caitlin smiled at him in a joking matter, "So, do you still offer for me to stay here now...hm?"

Caitlin cocked her head to the side, looking at him oddly. "He told her...about me...?"

She went to the elevator, the doors closing behind her.

The distant sound of the professor's wheelchair echo throughout the hallway as he approached William. "Yes? What is it William?" asked Xavier as he stop before the young man. Xavier had a good idea as to what was wrong but didn't wish to angry William figure. It would be his decision to tell him or not.

"It is possible to get stronger for both mutants and humans alike," answered the professor. He wondered what had sparked this idea off in William head.

Xavier laced his fingers and leaned back in his chair, "All mutants can get stronger as they learn to better adapt and harraness their power or powers. Sometimes, more offend than not, another power can emerge or another ability of the power they already have will be known as it becomes active." The professor used his own power as an example, "When I was boy, all I could was read minds and speak mentally. Now I am able to astral project and alter memories and more."

"It takes time however," said the professor calmly, "It is not something that can be focus and demanded." Xavier straightened in his chair and looked at William, "Why do you ask this?"

High above the danger room the speaker crackled to life and Beast voice ranged out.

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Robert Frost."

After a few minutes of quiet Beast enter the Danger Room and shook his head. "William, can you not see? Caitlin is not like other people, and I do not say that because of her Feral personality...! Have you actually spent the time to watch her than look at her?"

Beast rubbed his chin when William gave him a dumbfounded looked. "Caitlin possess many types of emotional personalities that sway her movements and thoughts. Most of the time we have only see two of them, her Feral personality, harsh, guarded, curiousity, and most of all reactive, and her normal personality, most likely her human one before she became a mutant. Unfortunately the personality has been damage, perhaps beyond repair, thanks to Stryker making it friendly yet frighten at the same time. A personality that makes her see the immediate problem and has her analyzing ever single detail to the extreme for her protection. Hestiant, worry." He waited a mintue to it to settle in in William head, "She has other personalities too. The third most one that we see is a strong woman, willing to try anything and with a will of iron. However, there are two that you have probably not seen or noticed. One is a great protector and thinker, making her calm and collective person. The other one, the one that I have only seen once is the cunning trouble maker, bad girl as you can say. I am sure there are other persona's in her as well that we have yet to come to know."

Beast pointed to a screen that showed the fight between him and sabertooth with Caitlin involvement. "You see all of them here and what appears to be another personality coming out. I am not sure as to why, perhaps stryker, but all these personalities are clashing. Each one have a different way to respond to the current situation. I am not sure that Caitlin care for Sabertooth as much as he appealed to her current dominant personality. However, when Sabertooth threaten you another personality took over that thus made her protect you. Same for the time she help him get a way and for the time she attacked you. I am not certain if Sabertooth knows of this but he knows how to play to some of these personalities of here, he probably doesn't know he is doing so though."

"It seems her power takes more than just a power from the user but a piece of their personality. Makes sense, our powers do reflect on our personality alot." Beast turned off the screen and looked at William, "It seems that Sabertooth appeals to her evil here. The personality the most children go though and leave behind in childhood. You know the goth look, disrespectful, have a biker guy for a boy friend, and/or stealing something to get the rush or know what is like. I don't think he appeals to her Feral side though...each time it is dominant it is guard and warry of him. Each time ending up in him getting attack or warning in a harsh manner."

Beast sighed as he rubbed his chin, "It appears that Caitlin power is blessing and a curse. It will take alot of training to help her control these personalities and new ones to come if her power activates again. However, it seems that her dominant one when not frightened is able to control the others and combine to make her functional being. I am speaking of her human self, the ones that she knows best and lived with the longest to sculp and mold to fit her needs. Though, when frighten she seems to caste aside the personality or it breaks instinctively to protect itself as it allows the others to fight for dominance or take turns at you can say. Luckily it seems that majority of the time all personalities coporate with a common goal her protection. They seem to think he survival is of the upmost importance. Which isn't a problem if Caitlin didn't care to what ever she did. If she didn't have anything tying her down, however, she does. She has family, friends, her fears, her moral objections, honor, right and wrong and more."

"Understand a bit more?"
