Who: Pete; OT Xavier, any random teachers!
When: Friday morning
Where: The school's entryway, and probably Xavier's office later
What: Pete Wisdom arrives at the school bearing . . . gifts? Of a sort.
Ordinarily, Pete Wisdom was not a nervous kind of man. He'd seen enough to not really be surprised by much anymore, he knew how to protect himself in pretty much any given situation, and he'd never had a long life expectancy anyway, given his chosen career and recreational habits. But there was nevertheless something deeply unsettling about showing up on the doorstep of a place he had more or less helped infiltrate, and choosing to confront someone rumored to be the most powerful telepath on the planet. Oh, and the place was packed with mutants who had more or less annihilated a highly skilled team of Weapon X operatives armed with in-depth knowledge about and protection from their enemy. So, yeah. Pete was a little antsy.
Taking a final drag from his cigarette and then flicking the butt out into the yard, Pete finally squared his shoulders and knocked on the giant door at the front of the main building, his other hand squeezing around the manila folders and computer discs he carried. Maybe he should have called first and mentioned he was planning a visit, but there wasn't really time to second guess himself as he watched the door swing open.
