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."

"Yeah, I am," he said. "Are you... are you and the others okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm at school. I haven't talked to Aiden or Angel or Caroline or Ray... oh my god, Ray's right in the middle of all that. I have to go there!"

"You need a ride? I can swing by in a Quinjet?"

Sara chewed on her lip. The Quinjet was faster than she was. But she didn't want to be responsible for shuffling any of the wrath that was coming off onto the Avengers.

"It's a sunny day. I can burn as much power as I need getting there. I don't want you getting into any trouble if a Quinjet gets caught on live TV flying around the mutant school."

She spoke quietly. There were already some anti-mutant sentiments coming from the crowd.

"You sure?" Bruce asked.

"Because I'm thinking we need to be making a statement anyway. Especially since one of ours just got outed not long ago."

"It means a lot to me that you're offering, baby. I won't tell you not to, but you know this could get really ugly. It always does when mutants are in the news. Look what just happened to Ang..."

Sara's phone buzzed.

"To Angel. She's calling now. I hope they're all alright."

"I'll let you get that. Be careful, okay?"
