The bell rang and the students entered the classroom as they always did, talking with each other, and sitting in their places. To them, it was just another day of school

As such, they were expecting the ethics professor to show up and begin the session

But rather than hearing the clicking of heels, they were met with a much quieter sound, but a voice just as commanding and in this instance, kinder

Ororo: Hello, students

Heads turned at the sight of Storm, not their designated teacher. Some were intrigued, others were glad to see her, but all were confused

???: Miss. Munroe?

Kitty: Where is Miss. Frost?

Upon hearing that question, her tender smile faltered as her brows arched

Ororo: Miss. Frost is...indisposed right now. I hope you don't mind my company during this session

Everyone watched as she approached the desk, some even cheered at the fact she would be the substitute, but she would not elaborate further

This left many to speculate where their teacher could be

The answer was in the Cerebro chamber. 32 feet underneath the mansion, completely alone before the giant projection of the world. With no one around to interfere, she found no use in trying to hide her concern

This machine was demanding, much more than she had anticipated, but she refused to let herself be consumed by it, and now, she was focusing all of her efforts on finding those missing

Not only did the city's infrastructure coexist with nature in a utopic way, but the colorful banners and paper lanterns hung by the locals gave this place even more life. It was like a tropical city of the future

But as breathtaking as this was, it was nothing compared to the people you saw running around, flying, and even teleporting without a care in the world. Your eyes could not believe such a thing

You: This is so surreal. Mutants using their powers in public like it's normal

The awe in your voice earned a smile from your guide

Scarlet Witch: That's because it is normal. Magneto did exactly what he promised and created a homeland for us all

A small crowd gathered to watch a young man standing near a fountain. He used his gifts to manipulate the water into beautiful shapes

Scarlet Witch: Here we value the best Homo Superior are capable of

You two stopped to watch the show for a moment. She linked her arms with yours as she kept talking

Scarlet Witch: Art, architecture, music, philosophy. What we've accomplished in such a short time is incredible

A gentle smile drew on her face as she watched that

Scarlet Witch: You must have left an impression on Magneto to give you such a task

The moment she said that, your mind brought you back to the time you met Magneto

How you were talking with Anna Marie on the phone, when suddenly there he was, floating towards the institute, and by his side, an army of missiles pointed at it
