Dante chuckled. "Don't take that tone with me Signora," he smiled as he got closer. He knelt down to look her in the eyes. "Scusi, mio caro... I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to offend you... honest, I just wanted to help you unlock all that potential you've got inside you. You do have incredible power. I know first hand now." He stopped to cough and smirked. "We just need to work on giving you control of it... Listen, I'll understand if you never wanna talk to me again... but I'd be more than happy to keep helping you with this, as long as you'll have my help..."

"You did that on purpose?" Jordan said, wide eyed. "You idiot!"
She turned away from him.

"Alright, alright... I know... It was stupid..." he said beggingly dropping his head. "It's the only way that I could think of to get you to reach deep inside of yourself..." He stopped and thought for a moment. "Besides... it's better to face this kind of situation now, before you learn to tap into your true powers..." he said, looking up again to face the back of her head. "If you confront your demons now, it's less likely that something terrible will happen because you lost your temper somewhere don the road..." Dante snickered. "I'm a regular Professor X, aren't I? Anyway, that's how I see it... Now, will you come back with me? Please..." He extended his hand with a pleading smile on his face.

'I could have killed you, you know. I ran away from home because I almost killed my brother." She refused to look him in the eyes.
"You keep calling me mio caro. What's that mean?"

"Awh c'mon, I'm tougher than that," he said, coughing again as soon as he did. "Heh heh... Yeah... I know it was dangerous..." he sighed. "But you know what? It's not like my childhood wasn't traumatic... I didn't run away from home... No... Instead, I stayed around to be feared by everyone... No one would even come near me...." The anger built in his voice as he spoke. "The only day I went back to school, I was forced to sit in the back of the room while everyone stared at me, scared that I might snap again. Do you know what it's like to have you own mother so afraid of you that she won't even come in to kiss you goodnight?" he said as a single tear rolled down his cheek. He shut his eyes tight, and blinked the tears away. "My parents sent me here because the whole town was afraid of me... including themselves." He calmed himself down and fell back into a sitting position. "It's the only thing that still gets to me... Makes me want to control this 'gift'..." he shook his head as he said the word so commonly used here to describe the reason he was here. "I'm sorry... this really isn't a contest of 'who's life has been worse'... I just thought I could help you... Something made me think that maybe... maybe we could help each other..."

Jordan sat there, thinking. She smiled. "Alright."

Dante looked up. She still had her back turned to him, but he smiled. He wiped his face to conceal any evidence that he had just opened up so much to this girl. After all, he just met her today. Still, there was something about her that seemed to make him think that that was okay. He stood up and offered his hand to her again. "Let's get back to the grove for a bit and then we'll head back to the dorms... it is starting to get a little late..."

She stood and turned to him, hoping her eyes didn't look to red. She'd nearly cried again, but she didn't like people to see her cry.
"Lead the way." she said. "I, well... kinda got myself lost. I've only been in the school for a few months."

Walter had followed Dante as he requested, but he decided to stay in the shadows and listen. It seemed to him the logical thing, considering what had happened he thought it would be best for them to work things out. He understood what the girl meant, he nearly killed his own father when his powers first surfaced.
He had seen what had happened to others with such 'gifts', and he didn't want to put his family through that. Even if they accepted it.
As the girl rose, Walter dedided it was time for him to work on his own abilities, alone. He didn't want to risk what had just occured between the two. He disappeared into the shadows, heading back for the school.
'Perhaps there is somewhere on the grounds that I cna use my abilities without hurting anyone,' he thought...

Upon entering his room Rob plopped down on his bed. Still in what was left of his practice suit he pulled himself up and moved to the top of his bed and roled over. " I wonder what is on the tube?" With that Rob grabbed his remote and turned on the news.
He was horrified of what he saw. HE wasa wacthing fotage on the news of recent mutant hate violenece. " I cant believe this. I thought I ouldnt see this kinda thing again." When was Rob's powersfirst surfaced he was at an anti mutant hate rally. HE was celebrating the execution of a blue scally mutant that the hate group caught. When out of no where he turned blue and scaley. When the crowd saw him change they instantly attacked him. If it wasnt for the X-Men showing up he would have died that day. " d**n anti mutants hate mongers. AS soon as I heal up Ill come and get you all."

Dante led Jordan back to the grove where they had started and looked around for Eneros. The water jugs were all toppled over, some even burst apart with the force of Jordan's outburst. Dante went over to the stump in the center of the clearing and sat down. "I met this kid while I was looking for you... He said his name was Eneros, but I don't see him now. Maybe he'll come back here if we wait for a few minutes for him." Dante laid back and streched out across the large stump on his back, being sure to leave enough room for Jordan should she care to join him. He looked up at the full moon beyond the treetops and took a deep breath. He loved the night sky and star gazing had always been one of his favorite hobbies. "You can see the stars really nice tonight..." he mused. "Oh hey... I was a little distracted before, but to answer your question... 'Mio caro' is an Italian phrase... In English it means 'my dear'. My parents both spoke Italian so I picked up a little of it... Just something I say from time to time," he said with a grin.

Jordan glanced up at the sky before sitting down on the edge of of the stump. "I know a few contsallations. Never been able to spot many though." She looked back up and pointed. "Orions belt - yes, I know it's only a part; I can sometimes pick out the rest of him - the queen, I can't remember what her name is," she lowered he arm, "and sometimes I can spot the big dipper."

"Mmm hmm... you mean Cassiopeia... Ursa Major, or like you said, the Big Dipper, is right there next to Ursa Minor, the Little Dipper... You can find them by using the North Star... see it there?" He pointed it out to her. He put his arms behind his head and relaxed again. Laying here with Jordan and enjoying the sky as they were, he almost forgot about Eneros and the fact that they should probably be heading back to the dorms soon.

"Mm, an intellectual guy, huh?" Jordan grinned. "But yes, Cassiopia sounds right."

"Hey, that's just what happens when you spend as much time out here as I do," he chuckled. He sat up and lowered his head to look at her for a moment. He noticed how the moonlight shimmered in her blue-streaked hair and played across the features of her face. Faltering for a moment, he managed to regain his voice, hoping she didn't notice. "Hey... I guess that Eneros guy isn't coming back. I'll just have to catch up with him in the halls tomorrow or something..." He sighed and continued hesitantly. "Do you think we should be heading back ourselves?"
