Raven stood once again in the Port Authority bus terminal, newly purchased ticket in hand and butterflies in stomach. "Well," she told herself, "it's bite the bullet time." She handed her ticket to the bus driver and found herself a seat. Once seated, she lay her forehead against the cool glass of the window and closed her eyes, wishing for sleep. She'd spent most of the previous night awake, worrying about what would happen when she arrived at her destination. Unfortunately for her, she didn't have much time to fall asleep on the 10 minute bus ride to Grand Central, but she had better luck on the hour-long train ride to Westchester. After getting off the train, Raven hailed a cab for the rest of the journey, a feeling of nostalgia growing in her as she rode down these familiar roads.
The cab dropped her off outside the mansion's iron gate. A sign on top read 'The Xavier-Lensherr School For The Gifted.' Raven guessed Charles had ordered it made before the events which led him and Erik to part ways, but found it odd that he hadn't taken it down in the two years that had passed. The gate was locked, but easy enough for Raven to climb over. Once she had gone far enough up the gravel driveway to be hidden from the road, she abandoned her blonde disguise and continued on, finally feeling comfortable to be in her own skin, feeling... at home, in a way she hadn't since that day two years ago. With one last shift to flatten her belly, Raven stepped up to the door, took a deep breath, and rang the bell.
