Administrivia ((Open to any who want to see the new Xavier's Headmaster))

[nohoundsallowed]

Rachel was in the middle of remodeling what was now her office. Xavier has finished up the semester and given her the office as hers. Though she currently had no clue how to decorate it. So things were looking a little bare with her desk and two chairs across from it for adornment.

She had plans for the estate on her desk. She sat in her chair and pinched the bridge of her nose. There were pages of the requirements for a being a certified school scattered on the floor behind her. She had posted about her open office before the summer semester began.

The redhead didn't know if having visitors would be a blessing or not.

"How many have there been?" She took a seat. The hot chocolate would have a small spice to it. She had put a little cinnamon under the whipped cream that topped it.

"Oh? This isn't about the pool getting frozen over is it? I made sure that no one was in it when I froze it." She bit her lip. "And it was only the top. An inch, I made sure not to damage it."

Rachel paused. "Two. In this timeline. I think."

Considering one of them was Magneto, it was a provocative choice. However, Rachel would not erase that history from the school.

She blinked at the pool getting frozen over. "Only an inch? Bobby needs to take you under his wing a little more. Our pools are built to withstand him at his most pranksome."

She took another sip of cocoa and momentarily set the mug aside. "No, more like since you're staying at this school on a permanent basis, you'll need a legal guardian. I have papers for you to sign."

Rachel glanced at one of her desk drawers. It opened and some papers and a pen floated out to settle on top of the desk.

"Mr. Xavier, and?"

"Well I was trying not to freeze it over too far. Just make it thick enough to walk on." She grinned. "Besides freezing it completely would take days to thaw, I wanted to go swimming later today."

That made her pause a moment. "They're going to agree with it? I mean my... the people that raised me are okay with it?" She did take the papers though reading over them. She knew better than to sign things without reading them over.

[nohoundsallowed]

"Mr. Lehnsherr."

Rachel considered the not-quite parents. "They're having a bit more trouble proving they exist and have a legal claim on you. Those papers in your hands will assign you a legal guardian if you so choose to stay at Xavier's on a permanent basis. Right now, the guardian will be me. If Warren or Bobby wish to step in, the guardianship is transferable." Though technically if something happened to Rachel, Doug would be first in line.

She was quiet at the name for a moment. "Magneto right?" She wouldn't question if it had been a hostile take over or not.

She nodded. "I still get to stay in my room with Rose right? And won't be treated differently from the other students?" She didn't want to be treated special because she was the headmaster's ward after all. Bobbi toyed with the pen a moment watching her. "Because I do like it here, I feel safer here than I ever did back home."

[nohoundsallowed]

"Yes, Magneto. He was headmaster for a time while the Professor was in space." Rachel nodded. Xavier and Magneto strove for the same thing but used different means and motives to get there.

"Nothing changes except if you get in trouble off-campus, I become the first to know." She smiled and picked up the mug of cocoa. "I'm already the first to know if it happens on-campus anyway."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi nodded.

"Hey, I've been good for the most part." She signed her name to the papers. "And really would you want Mr. Drake to show me how to use my powers? I don't think we need a second generation of his blood line nor Mr. Worthington's to top them both with pranks do you?"

She knew if she went too far with a prank she'd have to deal with the punishments, but as long as she kept them down to mile distractions and didn't hurt anyone she could probably get away with them.

[nohoundsallowed]

"You've been better than Bobby was at your age, I would guess. Yes, I would want him to show you how to use your powers. He would understand them better than anyone. Pranks happen. As long as no one gets hurt, it's not a big problem." Rachel shrugged.

"Not that you heard that from the headmaster or anything." She smirked slightly before taking a drink of her cocoa.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi nodded. "Guess I've, been a little scared to ask him. And I wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose. I know my ice can get colder than his, so I try not to risk situations where someone can get hurt. So far only thing damaged was one pair of ugly shoes."

She did grin though. "I'll make sure not to get too carried away."

[nohoundsallowed]

"I can ask him to help if you need. I don't want to force you to do anything that would make you uncomfortable, but Bobby is the best person to handle teaching you about your powers." She set down the empty mug of cocoa.

"Yes, no more ugly shoe incidents. And if you do it to pretty shoes, you'll be in real trouble." Rachel gave her a wink as she reached for the cupcake.

[iced_cherub]

"No, I'll do it. I should ask him something about my math homework anyway. I struggle with it a lot. I mean I'm passing, if barely, but it's confusing me." She looked down. "Which is why I'm hesitant to ask him about my powers, because I don't want to seem like I'm..." Useless The thought she tried to swallow down, but when it came to her grades the last quarter, she had struggled and knew it.

"Hey, pretty shoes are spared. Promise." There might be a glimpse of a planned prank on her roomie, but it was gone in a moment.

[nohoundsallowed]

"You're not useless, and he won't think so either. He's more than an ice cube good with numbers. You'll find common ground," she assured gently.

"Well, since I have your promise, you're free to go. I'll see you around campus." She took a bite of the cupcake and made appreciative noises.

[iced_cherub]

"You weren't supposed to hear that." She bit her lip but nodded. "It's okay, I'm just in one of those moods." She did smile again though. "Hope so." She got up to leave.

"Yes ma'am." She grinned.
