New Kid At The Door
Wesley Graham hesitated and stopped at the gates of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. For as long as he could remember Wes had stuck to shadow. He used back entrances, he used the winds to lift himself up to second story windows and sneak in. He hadn't used the front door in a very long time. He was certain that they wouldn't open the door for him, that they wouldn't let him in. He was an assassin, a murderer. He may not have killed by his hand but it didn't matter. He was a killer and he was sure that there was a telepath inside who would figure that out and turn him away. He hoped that it wouldn't turn out that way but he didn't have a lot of hope. Wes was not good people any way you twisted it. He didn't deserve the redemption that he was looking for. That didn't stop him from calling the winds to carry him over the gates. He rang the doorbell and he waited.

	Security has tightened some since the Marauder attack, but they certainly haven't closed their doors. Lucas answers the ring of the bell, considering the person beyond. "Hello. I'm Lucas... can I help you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Wes remained quiet. "This was a bad idea." He turned on his heel and started to walk away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas opens the door a little wider, reaching out to gently lay a hand on the visitor's shoulder. "That's quite possible. Though if you're like a lot of the people who end up here, walking away might be a worse one." He's not sure why, but he's going with his instincts on this one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wes had stopped walking the moment the hand fell on his shoulder. He held back on his desire to whip up a wind and listen. He had come here for a reason. He needed help. He turned on his heel again and nodded. "Alright. Can I come in, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas steps back and opens the door for him. He's pretty good at reading people, one of his gifts - the guy is on guard, troubled, no doubt. But so far, he seems genuine in wanting help. "Come on in. Welcome to Xavier's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wes looked at Lucas. He thanked him with an almost imperceptible nod and stepped inside. "I'm Wes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas gestures to the couches and such in the main area. "Due to recent events, things are a little chaotic around here, but one of the administrators will be free soon, I'm sure. Meanwhile, anything I can answer for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gust 2010-02-23 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing an administrator couldn't answer," Wes said. He had been taught to always keep everything close to the vest. He would keep to that until he knew the people here better, although Wes doubted that he would ever be fully open with them. It wasn't in his nature. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2010-02-23 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Lucas nods, sincere enough. "Makes sense. Dr. McCoy will be free shortly. If there's anything we can help with, meanwhile, let me know though. You hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gust 2010-02-25 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Wes was a little bit hungry, but that was not something that he was going to admit right then. "Could I get a glass of ice water?" he asked. Lucas had offered him something, it wouldn't be good manners to refuse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course." he replies, heading into the kitchen and reporting their guest through the intercoms along the way. He returns with the water and a plate of cookies, setting them out on the main coffee table, not necessarily for the guest, but every indication is he's welcome to try them before others show up. "Dr. McCoy should be free in about fifteen minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Sophie heard voices in the other room as she was walking to the kitchen. She decided to check it out and saw the familular sight of Lucas and a new person. Lucas was one of the nicest people she knew at Xaviers. "Hey, whats happening?" she asked walking over to the two. "I'm Sophie." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gust 2010-02-25 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"Wes." It was clear that he wasn't the talkative sort. "Hi." He did smile at Sophie though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sophie_lebeau 2010-02-25 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Hello handsome! Sophie was defenetly a person of her surroundings. Between her dad, her uncle Logan, and the boys she always found herself thinking like them. And that smile.... "Nice to meet you Wes." she replied returning the smile with one of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2010-02-27 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	Lucas smiles, he hasn't had a lot of chance to get to know Sophie, but she's always seemed nice, and someone worth getting to know. "Hey Sophie. Cookies on the table are fair game, just made them. Wes is waiting on Dr. McCoy." (Reply to this)(Parent)
