Is That Even Allowed?

I was confused at her suggestion but Mrs. Reagan said that it was alright considering the circumstances. I gave them my address and made small talk on the way, but I was a bit suspicious of the situation. Sure I had good grades, but the procedure was strange and I hadn't been contacted or anything before this.

After we arrived both Scott and Jean looked more serious than before, at least judging from their body language. I opened the door and welcomed them inside, surprising my mom watching TV.

"Connor! What are you doing home? School doesn't let out for another three hours."

"That would be our fault ma'am." Scott spoke up "We're from Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, we'd like to offer your son a special opportunity."

"Before we begin—" Jean said, getting my attention quietly "Do your parents know?"

"Know what?" I was genuinely confused

"About you being special. Different. Unique"

"Oh! That. No, they don't. Actually, how do you know?"

She closed her eyes for a second before responding "I'll explain in private, is your bedroom okay?"

If I wasn't already, now I was definitely suspicious. Nevertheless I led her to my bedroom and locked the door behind us.

So these two somehow know I'm a mutant, even though I've only known for a week. They're from a special private school no one's ever heard of. And they actually took me home to explain everything. They're either planning an overcomplicated ****, or there really is a safe place for mutants under the guise of a simple school.

"It's the second one" Jean said with a small laugh "That was pretty good reasoning by the way."

"Wait, did I just say all that out loud?" I asked startled

"No actually, that's my gift at work. You've probably figured out that Scott and I are mutants too. I'm a telepath, I can read minds. I normally try not to, but your train of thought was interesting."

"That's so cool! Can you do other stuff too?" I looked up in awe, resulting in me staring directly into her eyes.

I thought to look away, but her emerald eyes were captivatingly beautiful. I panicked slightly realizing I'd hypnotized Jean, but calmed my nerves and maintained eye contact. I had to think fast.

Okay, not good—actually, maybe this is good... She doesn't need to know, and I can make sure I'm not in danger or anything. Plus she's hot as fuck, I mean I thought Grace was pretty but Jean's on another level. God I have to have her. Alright time to get serious..

"Jean, can you hear me?" Just like the simulations

"Yes.." Bingo!

"When you wake up, you will forget everything that happened during your trance, including being hypnotized itself. Do you understand?"

"...yes" That took a bit, maybe I'll slow down

"To you, I will have just asked what you can do with your powers, right?"

"Right.." Okay, seems like leading questions work better than statements

"You said I was interesting. You want to learn more about me. The best way to make me comfortable and open is to be honest yourself, don't you think?"

"Yes.."

"In order to make me comfortable, you'll be completely honest with me, yes?"

"Yes.." Just listening to her mindless voice...

"Are you really from Xavier's School like you said?"

"I am.."

"As a prospective student, you'll be more forgiving with me than most people, and nicer too, isn't that right?"

"..Yes..nice..."

"Considering I was scouted for your school, it's only natural you want to protect me, isn't it?"

"Yes.." I should wrap this up soon, Scott or my parents could show up any minute

"You know how hard it can be as a mutant, and you want to make things easier for me. Whenever I ask you to do something, you will at least give it some open-minded consideration, isn't that right?"

"Yes.."

"When I snap my fingers you will awaken and forget this trance."

*Snap*

"Yes, I can actually influence minds and move things telekinetically" Jean started talking as if I really had just asked her the question

"I can communicate mentally as well"

"Oh that's awesome! Anyway, what's the school like?"

"It's relatively small at the moment; we only have a handful of teachers and a few dozen students, not including Scott and I. Thanks to cerebro however we hope to expand with time."

"Wait who's cerebro?"

"Cerebro is a machine that enhances the range and scope of telepathic abilities. Professor Charles Xavier uses it to locate mutants in unstable situations who may need guidance."

"Will I learn to control my power there?"

"Beast and the Professor will do everything they can to help you learn about your abilities and, if possible, control them. Now that I think of it, what is your power?"
