Chapter Twenty One: The Announcement

"Mira Kayson and Leon Underhill to Professor Xavier's office. I repeat: Mira Kayson and Leon Underhill to Professor Xavier's office. That is all."

My head turned to Leon. "What would the professor want with us?" I asked.

Leon just shrugged. "There is no telling. Maybe it was because of the bomb from earlier?"

"Nah. That was a long time ago. And that was already proven that you were the bomber."

Leon just laughed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Then is it about Lucy?"

I shrugged. "I don't know."

We made it to the Professor's office and I stopped right at the door.  Leon noticed this and stopped with me. 

"Mira? What's wrong?"

I held up my hand to silence him. I heard voices inside the office.

"Are you insane!? Do you want to get these kids killed?!"

"You do know this isn't the only time a student has assisted us, right?"

"But she almost died! She was lucky her mutation absorbs other powers, because if she didn't, she wouldn't be here right now!"

"But she didn't die."

"But I don't want that for them!"

"But these students are very powerful."

"Pssh, yeah. Even though they haven't been here for more than a week."

"Now that's enough. Now you-"

 

*Knock, knock*

"Who is it?"

Oh my God, why did I knock?!

"It's us, sir. Mira and Leon."

"Come in."

I opened the door.  Logan, Storm, the Professor, and a hairy blue man were in the office. The Professor rolled up to us in his wheelchair. "Welcome, children. Please, have a seat."

There were two chairs in front of his desk. Logan and the others were either standing or leaning on the walls of the Professor's office. "Um," I started to protest, since it would be a little rude to sit down in the only chairs in the room. But Leon made himself at home and sat down. So I sat down with him. "Thanks." I finished the sentence.

The Professor chuckled.

"So why are we here, Professor?" Leon asked.

"Well, since both of you have missed class because of an important event, I've decided that you can make up that first class."

I was shocked. I seriously did not expect this to happen. I thought we were in here because of Lucy, or that stupid bomb, or frog girl! I wouldn't have known that! But this was only because of a missed class?

Leon, however, didn't look as surprised as I was. It was either that, or he really had a good poker face.

"Alright then," Leon said. "When do we start?"
