Christina walked down the stairs and went straight for Liz's office. She paused and listened, but heard nothing so she went in. She went to the bookcase and pulled the lever to reveal the elevator. She walked inside and pushed the down button as the elevator proceeded to the subbasement.
On the way down, she contemplated her decision. What had the others told her about Cerebro? “A machine designed to enhance psychic powers.” Kitty had explained that the machine reads the psionic energies found in the mind of mutants. That’s how the telepaths could use Cerebro to locate any mutant on the earth by just reading the energies found in their brain. But could it be possible that any psychic, not necessarily a telepath, can use Cerebro… to, let’s say… enhance their psychic powers to read and better understand their own psionic waves in their brain? Christina knew it was a risk. She had never seen a non-telepath use Cerebro before; she would be the first. But her plan seemed to make sense to her; if it indeed does enhance all psychic powers and not just telepathic ones, then Cerebro should work for her too. Knowing the truth and finding out about her father's murder was worth the risk.
The elevator doors opened to the subbasement, and Christina walked down the hallway until she stood just outside of Cerebro. Christina paused and took a deep breath before forcing herself to step forward.

As Liz left the Danger Room, she noticed Christina walking to Cerebro. She teleported to the girl's side, "Vas are you doing? You know zat you are not ready to use zis."

Christina jumped in fright when Liz teleported next to her. She took deep breaths to calm herself. She had to keep her mind clear in fear that Liz would read it. She didn't want the others to know about things just yet, so she needed to be alone to get inside Cerebro. Quickly, Christina lied.
Christina: Well, I know that. I'm not a telepath. I just came down here looking for you. Everybody is upstairs in the kitchen; breakfast is ready.

Liz smirked, "I know. I've been keeping track of people to a small degree. I vas down here getting zings ready for Sara's interrogation. I am really in no mood to eat zough." She looked into Cerebro again and then back at the girl. Christina was lying, she knew that much, but she wasn't going to stop her. Instead she cleared her throat, "So vhy vere you looking for me?"

Christina held in her aggravation. At this rate she would never get inside Cerebro... Unless she waited until later when Liz would be interrogating Sara. And chances are Jack would be with her too. That would be better. Both telepaths would be out of the way. Christina tried to hold her lie.
Christina: No one had seen you since we returned last night, so I was sent to find you and see if you wanted to join everyone at breakfast. I couldn't find you in your bedroom, or in your office, so I thought you might be here.

Liz raised an eyebrow and nodded. Again, she knew the girl was lying but decided to let her do as she needed. Christina was a valuable member to her team and a good friend. The teleporter had noticed changes over the last few weeks, but didn't want to push the girl. Again she cleared her throat, "Right. Vell I need to get ze prisoner. If you need a place to zink, Cerebro is perfect as telepathic vaves can go out, but not in. I can't read your zoughts if you go in. Unfortunately, I vould not be able to hear you cry for help if you need it. Use ze intercom if anyzing goes wrong." With a flick of her tail she turned to walk to the holding area. As she entered, she called out to Jack "I need your help vith Sara. Please come und help me."

Christina watched as Liz walked away into the holding cells. Did she just imagine that, or did Liz really allow her to use Cerebro? Christina began to panic that perhaps Liz read her mind and knew her intent. But if she did, Liz would have stopped her. Christina decided not to dwell on that. She immediately turned and walked into Cerebro before anyone else tried to stop her.
