Mindcontrol: Well.. after you and your siblings have mastered your powers, you all have the choice to leave, if that is what you desire. Many mutants, like yourself, have came here as a way to find a home. However, many of them those same mutants after learning to hone their powers eventually decide to leave. They sometimes feel as if they learned all they could from this mansion. It's like they feel out of place and they need something new. That's why in the end they choose to leave this place and seek to start a new life. It's only human nature for people to want to get away and venture into the world... or should I should mutant nature.
(Jack chuckled at his own joke. Looking at the two girls and seeing their expressions, he could tell that it wasn't that funny. He rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed. Jack then placed his hands forward and continued.)
Mindcontrol: Some have come and gone; others have stayed, including myself. There are only a handful of people who have actually left and then returned. No matter the situation, we are always willing to accept any mutant, even if they have already lived here. It's hard to let people go, but it's their choice, one that we all must respect.
(He looked down at the table and began spacing out. Instantly, Jack began reminiscing about the many comrades and friends he met over the years. ECKS, 8-Ball, Gambit, Rogue, Nox, Sonima, Nigai, Wolf and of course Radar. They were only a few of many. These days, the mansion was a lot quieter without them. He missed all of them, even Radar. He let out a sigh and looked up at at the young girl.)
Mindcontrol: Look, what I'm trying to say is that you and your younger brothers and sisters will always have a home here. It's completely up to you what you want in the coming years. Who knows what the future will hold for them.. maybe your siblings will take over the X-men once they're my age.
(Jack hoped those kids would bring life back into the mansion. He smiled at the possibility.)

Nadja had a rather blank/confused expression at her face. He was ... joking right? She wiped her tail up and down, she watched the hairs on her tail tip wave with her.

Nadja nodded at his statement. He looked down to the table, and Nadja could feel something strange. An emotion growing stronger. Instinctively, she tilted her head. She couldn't determined if it was positive or negative emotion. Kinda felt like both. Look, what I'm trying to say is that you and your younger brothers and sisters will always have a home here. It's completely up to you what you want in the coming years. Who knows what the future will hold for them.. maybe your siblings will take over the X-men once they're my age.[/i] Thát made Nadja wonder how old he was. She wasn't good with age guessing. She liked the idea of staying here. The X-men were good for them, and why not help others? Well, when she learned to control her powers anyway. She wondered if Keiy was an X-men?
As if the kids had heard Jack's silent wish, there screams sounded all the way to the office. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiii! WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa! Nala closed her eyes, and sighed. She opened them again, and then gave Jack and Christina a apologizing smile. HaHAHAHAa hahaaha What do you, Lars laughs pretty loud for a baby of 6 years old.

Christina was still lounging in the chair when the kids' screaming and yelling came through the closed doors. She turned her head to the door rather quickly before facing Jack and Nala again.
Christina: Are they alright over there?

Nadja could slap her own face. She gave Christina a shy smile, and realized she was blushing. "They are fine... just playing..." She shrugged her shoulders and said: "Kids" Followed by a shy laugh, as she hoped the screams would end soon.
{sorry I'm so busy with the exams. can't wait till they are over}

(Jack looked at Nadja with skepticism, but he took her word. "I mean, how much trouble can a couple of kids be?" he thought too himself.)
Mindcontrol: Well, that's all the information I have for you, at least for now. Do you have any questions?

Nala let go of her breath when the screams stopped one by one. She hadn't even realized she was holding it. "T-thank you. Umm, what is it exactly that the X-men do? Wwhat kind of s-superhero stuff?" Despite the fact that she needed to go tell her siblings yelling was not something you did indoors, she did want to know more about them. Her look held in between a shy and curious look. She pushed the lock of hair that got loose back behind her ear.

(Jack was about to answer the question, when he stopped and actually gave it a thought.)
Mindcontrol: We don't really do any superhero stuff, at least not in the traditional sense of the word. We don't stop robbers from stealing money from banks and we don't really save women from burning buildings. That kind of stuff we leave to Spider-man. Our main job is to protect both mutants and humans from threats that endanger the balance of each side. These threats come from both humans and mutants. We have faced many threats from both humans and mutants. We've engaged against mutant terrorists, people involved in government projects, a cult, and even against the military. These forces all had similar goals, to overpower and destroy the other side. Which reminds me of the events involving a mutant named Apocalypse, but I really don't want to go there.

Nadja nodded. She bow her head and toughed about it. After a few seconds, she rose her head again and gave Christina and Jack a shy smile. "Thank you. I think I understand."

Christina flinched involuntarily when Jack mentioned Apocalypse. Her head was already starting to kill her that they didn't need to go into that now. She breathed a sigh of relief when neither Jack nor Nadja went further on the subject.

(Jack smiled at Nala's polite thank you.)
Mindcontrol: You are welcome. Back to what we do. There's something you should know, the both of you. Nala, you might be wondering why Keiy had to leave so abruptly this morning. Well, the truth is, he's on a mission right now, along with Avriletta and Kitty. There was an emergency involving a group of evil mutants known as the Sovereigns.
(Jack looked at both the women and waited for their reaction. He looked at Christina, knowing that she would react to this faster than Nala.)

Christina let out a loud groan/gasp. She looked at Jack with a pained expression.
Christina: Again?! God, can't they take a break! What do they want this time?

Nadja blinked her eyes. Something strange came out her way, negative emotions. She felt kinda sick. Several emotions were running trough her own body, but she could feel the ones of others too. When Christina gasped, she pretty groaned at the same time; the emotion was too overwhelming. She had a hard time to catch her breath; And that was exactly the reason she didn't like big crowds. To much emotions. Again?! God, can't they take a break! What do they want this time? Nadja's was still spinning a little, when Mindcontrol's words reach to her. "Keiy is on a mission?" Evil. Mutants. "Sover.. what?" She tried to follow. She took a few deep breaths, and realized she felt better. "Mutants ... that are evil." The concept wasn't new. But still. She'd been trying for so long to be normal, that it never occurred to her to try something different. She gave Mindcontrol and Christina a questioning look. Now, she wanted to know more!

(Jack was sensing the agitation within Nala. He got up and walked over to the a water container next to one of the book cases. He grabbed two cups and poured some water into it both. Jack walked over in between Christina and Nala and handed them each a cup of water.)
Mindcontrol: Here, drink this. I'll explain everything now, but I don't need you two to lose your composure. The best thing we can do now is to stay calm.
(Jack walked around the desk and returned to his seat. He too a deep breath before continuing. He looked at Nala.)
Mindcontrol: First off, before I explain the situation, let me explain to you who we are dealing with. The Sovereigns are a group of mutant terrorists. They believe that the human race is inferior to mutant one. They are obsessed with this idea and have dedicated their lives to achieve complete dominance over the human race. As you've probably gotten from Christina reaction, the Sovereigns are very persistent. We've fought against them in numerous situations. After our many fights, I believe their numbers have crumpled down to a few. However their leader Count is ever so determined and they still remain a serious threat. I should know, I use to be one of them.
(He let that fact out quickly just to get it over with. Jack then continued, not wanting to answer any questions on that particular matter. Now that he briefly explain who the Sovereigns were, now it was time to try and give the briefing on the emergency. Now he was looking at both the women.)
Mindcontrol: This morning I got a call form an old acquaintance. The commissioner of the Los Angeles Police Department in California. The Sovereigns have infiltrated their headquarters. As of now, we don't know what they want. The commissioner believes that they want to cause a prison break, releasing only the mutant criminals. I only hope that the police and our team have stopped them, whatever their true purpose may be.

Christina slumped back into the chair and sipped on the water Jack had given her as she listened to his briefing.
Christina: So you think they are trying to recruit?

(Jack nodded his head at Christina's comment.)
Mindcontrol: Yeah, that's the best reason I can think of, as to why they might be doing this. But again, we can't be certain. Though there is something else on my mind. Pavati is still at the police headquarters.
