(Y/n) looked back and forth between her friend and the door until her curiosity got the best of her. Jaedon transformed back and wrapped himself around her leg as he moved up her body. She unlocked and opened the door to watch Quicksilver fall over and back up in fear.

"How do you think you can help me? It better not be the same way you 'helped' all your other students."

"C-can you put that uhm... that away... please?"

Peter pointed at her snake and he hissed softly. She rolled her eyes and let him crawl down and transform into a human.

"Oh, that's so cool! Can you transform into other animals too?" Peter stood up quickly and extended his hand.

"I can; yes, my name is Jaedon, Jaedon Flores." Jaedon and Peter shook hands.

"So you're both mutants?" Charles questioned.

"Yup, I just prefer to stay in my animal form and she likes snakes, so."

"Ah, well we will gladly accept you both."

"How can you help with my nightmares Charles?" (Y/n) was growing impatient and wanted an answer.

"With time."

"I've had sixteen years since and it's not any better y'know."

"I'm aware."

Charles stared into (Y/n)'s eyes and he watched her nightmare, a few tears falling down his cheeks throughout. He nodded and moved forward taking (Y/n)'s hand.

"I can help you."

(Y/n) started shaking slightly and bit her lip.

"How?" She asked, her breath shaky and her voice weak.

"With time."

She gave in and nodded her head, immediately her eyes rolled back and she collapsed. Jaedon caught her quickly.

"This happens a lot, unfortunately. How do you intend to help her? She'll never forgive you if you steal or hide the memory."

"I will never make that mistake again. No, I wish to make her come to terms with it rather than remove it."

Jaedon nodded and picked up (Y/n) bridal style, taking her to the couch for a moment.

"Excuse me."

Jaedon wrote a note and went to hand it to their neighbor, explaining that they're leaving and they'll be back in a few days. Then, Jaedon picked (Y/n) up bridal style and went with Charles and Peter to the Blackbird that was parked a couple blocks away. Peter and Jaedon talked the whole time, making jokes and asking each other questions about their powers.

After a little while (Y/n) opened her eyes and sat up slowly. She looked around and noticed that she had slept... without her nightmare. She was sitting on a makeshift bed in the back of the Blackbird. Jaedon and Peter were making jokes back and forth and Hank was flying it.

"Jaedon..."

"(Y/n)!" Jaedon walked back to (Y/n), crouching next to her and placing his hand on her back to support her.

"You collapsed at home."

"Where are we?"

"We're on our way to our new home."

She moved to stand and Jaedon helped her to a seat to buckle up. Peter looked back at her and smiled, giving a thumbs-up as he and Jaedon went back to talking. Next to (Y/n) was another girl about her age.

"Hi, I'm Emily Garcia."

"(Y/n) (L/n)."

"What are your powers?"

"Hard to explain, what about you?"

"I can control sound waves and manipulate them."

"Oh, that's cool."

(Y/n) and Emily kept talking back and forth on their way to Jean Grey School. About halfway there (Y/n) started feeling tired again and rested her head back, Peter looked back and motioned Jaedon to lean in a little closer.

"So she has a nightmare every time she sleeps huh?"

"Every time, I hear her awake in her room every night with about five-minute intervals of silence every now and then."

"That sounds so tough... and that was the first time she's slept peacefully?"

"Since I've known her, yeah. I've known her since we were twelve and she said she barely got sleep since that day. The day she killed her parents."
