A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

Memories

—-Sam—-

Gambit returns and we choose a more appropriate topic of discussion rather than my barely existent sex life. After a while it seems like people are finally waking up and some people come to spend their morning in the common room. I spot Kitty walking in with Romeo and Bobby and quickly excuse myself to rush over. She's one of my bridesmaids choices.

"Hey Kitty!"

She turns from the conversation she's having with Bobby and Romeo and smiles in surprise when she sees me.

"Sam!! I didn't expect to see you back so soon!"

I smile.

"Sorry you're gonna have to get used to me bothering you all on a more regular basis now that nothing's stopping me."

She beams at me.

"It's so good to have you home!"

"It's good to be here. Kitty I have a question for you."

"Yeah?"

"Would you please be one of my bridesmaids?"

"Wait... wait you want me to be a part of a royal wedding?!"

I smile and tease her.

"Well if you're not interested-"

"Sam you've offered and now there's literally nothing you could do to keep me out of it!"

I giggle.

"That's what I counted on."

'Samantha I hate to intrude but a chat between us is long overdue.'

'Of course professor.'

Kitty looks at me quizzically due to my silent pause though she likely has some idea as to what or more accurately who just interrupted my train of thought. I joke to excuse myself.

"I've been summoned to the principal's office."

She nods in understanding. I haven't really sat down with the professor to talk about any of this yet. She waves as I turn to leave.

"See you in detention!"

I laugh in reply.

"Yup see ya!"

'Heading to your office now.'

——————————————————

I arrive at his office and softly knock on the door.

'Come on in'

I open the door.

"Hello professor."

He's sitting in his wheelchair behind his desk he gestures for me to take a seat in front of his desk. I smile slightly as I do. 'Yup just like being called into the principal's office.'

"Hello Samantha I hope my office isn't quite that intimidating."

I smile.

"It's not, it's just a similar setup."

He nods.

"I hate to bring down your spirits but I need to hear from you where one of my best students has been for the past six years."

I nod but look at the ground. 'I don't want to talk about it.' He replies to my thought with one of his own.

'Then we'll keep the discussion short.'

The professor goes on now speaking aloud.

"I understand... you know I don't have an explanation for why Cerebro couldn't see you when you were taken."
