WHO: Rahne and Professor Xavier
WHEN: Friday morning (States side)
WHERE: Rahne's hotel/Xavier's office
WHAT: Telephone call. Rahne is in hiding to nurse a wound and seeks a better hiding spot.
Rahne Sinclair never thought she'd go back to Xavier's after graduation last spring. In truth, she wanted to and was punishing herself. She could have stayed there for years. But the school had infected her sense of altruism; there were too many things she'd be hiding from there and too many doors she'd be leaving closed. She needed to explore the world and find herself.
What she found was a world that hated and feared her. Rahne had put on her best game face returning to the town that mobbed her and had survived for months. But when she finally came face to face with Reverend Craig, her tormentor from the past, she lashed out. Nursing a bullet wound to the shoulder now, Rahne paid the price and now knows she couldn't stay in Scotland. It wasn't safe for Lady Moira, if not her. She had to hide again, and it killed her.
In the hotel room Moira had paid with physical euros to make sure Rahne was safely hidden for a few days, Rahne put off making the phone call to Xavier's. She knew that she needed to, but she was all around scared right now. Of what the future would hold, of what will happen to her, and even of what Xavier would say. Some part of her, the part that lives in daydreams, prays that when she calls Xavier he'll simply whisk her away and fix all her problems. But what if he wouldn't? She finally called New York, going through international calling, and was surprised when the Professor picked up. Perhaps she had forgotten her time zones again. "Ah, hullo? Professor Xavier? I-it's Rahne Sinclair. From school last year?"
