Mrs. Mary MacNeilly's report to the New York State Education Department was far from glowing. Her report caused a lot more concern and shock than normal process usually allowed. They did their research on previous inspections just to see how long this mutant school problem had been going on. Despite their research showing there had never been an issue as large as what was put before them, they had to take action on what Mrs. MacNeilly had reported.

The NYSED informed the superintendent in the district Xavier's was located in of the issue. They also got in touch with Westchester County's office about Xavier's certificate of occupancy due to the structural damage Mrs. MacNeilly had witnessed happening to the school building. With the report of mutants on the grounds the state and county governments got their information squared away before sending representatives to the school with protection from law enforcement. Child Protective Services got into the loop after being informed of a young girl living at the school surrounded by mutants who quite possibly could not control their powers.

As the media got wind of what was coming to a quiet yet secretive school in upstate New York, TV stations sent crews out. Some of the government representatives were glad to talk vaguely about what was happening at the school live. With the cameras aimed to put the people going into the school on film, a TV reporter stepped into the frame.

"This is Samantha Boulevard here not far from the town of Salem Center in Westchester County. Government officials from the New York State Education Department are here delivering a notice of probation for the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. The school came under scrutiny recently during an inspection by a certified educational inspector. My sources have told me that this school poses as a private institution for education but has been revealed to be habitat for mutants."

This was... this was pretty much every single variety of bad rolled into one. The only things that could possibly be worse involved Apocalypse, Sinister, or Magneto. At least it wasn't any of those things.

But it had happened. And he felt more than a little responsible for it.

He wondered if he still had any UN contacts from his time there as a translator...

Rachel kissed her husband's cheek as she telekinetically adjusted her suit. It was the most conservative thing she had to wear, and it would have to do. "This isn't your fault, Doug. Just make sure the kids stay calm and no one goes on the super defensive. The rest of us will deal with the circus on our doorstep."

She straightened up and took a breath. She could do this calm, rational back-up thing. She had been Mother Askani. She could handle helping Xavier present a calm front.

Rachel gave Doug a wink and smile as she went out the door toward the front of the building.

Doug took a deep breath, steadying himself with the emotional support of his wife, and doing his best to offer what he could as well.

"Good luck out there," he said.
