The Xavier mansion

I snuck back into the house in my house cat form, making my way to the stairs. Halfway up...
"Y/n." Charles voice chimed from behind me.
I sighed shifting human "yes?"
"Where have you been?" He crosses his arms his eyes burning a hole in the back of my head.
"No where..." I turned to him.
He shot me a glare.
"The mall...." I mumbled.
"Please don't tell me you stole anything..." he growled.
"Stole? No! I merely... borrowed a few things..." I gave him a weak smile.
"Y/n..." he sighed.
"I doubt anyone even noticed-" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Your risking everything everything you know." He huffed.
"I know..." I mumbled.
"Expectantly if they found out your a mutant, you know how they feel about us, you could be locked up, seriously you-"
"I know!" I huffed cutting him off "I know the risks, I know everything that could happen. But it's annoying that you think I'm a bumbling idiot, I haven't gotten caught yet and I'm not gonna."
"That's right, because you're not leaving the house." He huffed.
"WHAT?! But-" I pleaded
"N.O." He growled "Now get to your room."
"But-"
"NOW." He yelled.
I scoffed stomping upstairs, and slamming my door.

Charles POV
I sighed as Hank walked up to me.
"That went well..." he walked up to me.
"Why must she be so difficult."
"That's just her nature, she has a need to defy, to disobey." He paused "and you have a need to control, to lead."
"Yeah I get it- but I just- don't want to see her get hurt."
"I know you care about her, and you want to protect her and she just doesn't realize you're doing this for her."
I sighed looking to the stairs.
