new student jitters

Bobbi was hugging her stuffed penguin to her as they pulled up to the school.  The young teen had spent most the time they were travelling from the airport looking out the window.  She was fairly sure if she had to she could get herself back to the airport if things didn’t work out like the two teachers had said they would.

Though now standing in front of the school one arm around the stuffed animal, the other holding one of her suitcases she was slightly nervous, biting her lip she shifted the toy to the same hand as her bag reaching for the nearest hand.

“They’ll really be okay with me?”

Doug took her hand, giving a reassuring squeeze. "They will be. Don't worry. Everyone here is a mutant, just like you."

"Most people don't know anyone else but the person who recruited them when they get here. It'll be okay. We have an orientation to get you used to the campus, and you'll have a roommate who will help you out." Because there was no way in hell Rachel would let Bobbi room with Brooke. So all other choices were relatively easy.

The redhead gave the girl a smile.

Doug nodded. "Only a fairly small number of the students here are actually second generation students. Most still come from other situations, like you."

Rose, maybe? Doug thought, to Rachel. Might curb some of her own excesses if she's got someone to watch out for.

"Right," Rachel agreed. "Now, let's get moving. Sage is probably finalizing the information so we can just get you settled in, Bobbi."

The redhead turned toward the mansion. She hoped Sage had been monitoring things since they came through the gate so she would have some indication which dorm room to take Bobbi to.

Rose sounds good. Though I wonder how much less her almost-not-quite cussing would get around Bobbi.

Doug kept pace, continuing to hold Bobbi's hand as necessary. "I'm sure you'll fit in," he assured her. "You're already more socially well adjusted than I was at the same age."

Heh. Could be worse, I suppose.

"Your father handled everything he was supposed to. There's a couple things for the students to fill out themselves. Nothing too difficult," she assured as she mentally reached out and opened the front door. Rachel stopped at the top of the steps by the open door to wait for Bobbi to get done marveling at the building.

"Trust me," Doug said, "I was a total geekazoid."

"Utterly," she answered with a smirk.

"Complete computer geek," Doug amended. "With an alien robot best friend."

"No, Warlock is a sentient life-form from outer space. He occasionally pops by for a visit or a wedding." Rachel ushered her husband and the new student in. As she stepped in, the door swung gently closed behind her.

"You'd like 'locke," Doug added. Most younger kids did.

"We'll meet with Sage, then get you all settled in."

"Rachel. Doug." Sage greeted the other two instructors when she emerged from her office and met them in the hallway. She turned to Bobbi and gave her a nod. "You must be Bobbi. Welcome to Xavier's Institute. My name is Sage. I'm the head administrator for the school."

Before they had picked Bobbi up to transfer her, Rachel had briefed Sage on everything her and Doug observed and postulated about the girl's origins. If there was an analytical mind to make some sense of it, Sage would be it.

The redhead put her hand gently on the girl's shoulder. "I think she just needs a few academic assessments to see what level she fits here beyond the intro to being a mutant things. And then some power assessments to be scheduled."

"We're only a couple weeks into the term," Doug explained. "Nothing too terrible. And we can run some tutoring sessions to help catch you up."

Doug had also spoken with Doctors McCoy and Reyes, because with the odd power combination and everything else, any data was good data.

"I assure you, I have no interest in poking you with needles." That was McCoy's job. She was happy to leave it to him.

"As Professor Ramsey said, the term's just begun and if you feel you're having difficulty in catching up we can always tutor you until you're more secure." She turned and gestured with a hand to her office.

"Come inside and have a seat. We'll get you started."

"Once we know where to place you, we can put you in the right classes," Doug said. "Our curriculum here's a little more tailored towards individual skill levels, so you'll have some options."

Rachel have Bobbi's shoulder a squeeze before taking her hand away. "You've got some very capable people sorting things out for you. Now, I need to excuse myself. I have to check on a toffee-nose and start her next lesson. I'll check on you later, Bobbi. Okay?"

Once the girl gave her assent, Rachel gave a nod to Sage and wink to her husband before departing.

"Good attitude." Not trying got on Sage's nerves much more than honest mistakes ever did. She picked up a file of papers from her desk and handed them to Bobbi, rolling a small table over for her to work on. "Take your time with them and ask any questions you need. These aren't tests for you to pass or fail. They're simply to tell us what you already know so we don't try to teach it to you all over again."

Doug understood that wink well, and gave one of his own in return.

"And I need to go and have a talk with Dr. McCoy," he added. "I'll pick you up after the tests are done, okay, Bobbi?"
