***Charles enters from Front Yard***
Charles took his time getting to his office, pausing to chat with students as he passed them. He wasn’t about to reward Peter’s lack of manners toward their guest by giving him the immediate attention he’d wanted in lieu of taking care of said guest.
He finally reached his office and wheeled in, closing the door behind him. Charles again put off Peter by addressing their guest first, the proper etiquette so in a way, he was addressing two points to Peter.
“So, Deadpool.” Realizing how informal and impersonal that sounded, he belayed getting to the point and asked, “Do you have another name you go by or do you prefer to use your mutant name?”

Pushing his way through the doors, Peter led himself as well as Deadpool into Xavier's office. " Welcome to Xavier's humble abode," Peter remarked as they walked in. Usually Peter would jump over one of the guest chairs and slump right in, make himself feel comfortably at home. However, today Peter was feeling all sorts of things - nervous, antsy, excited and terrified - he couldn't think about sitting still, even more so than usual. Walking alongside Xavier's desk, Peter's fingertips grazed the smooth surface as he thought about his reason for coming, what he would say and how it would help him decide what to do next. Everything had been happening so fast for Peter, which wasn't something entirely new for Peter as he lived a speedy life. He just hoped he was prepared for what was to come.
In thought, Peter picked up what looked to be a glass paperweight off of Xavier's desk. He playfully tossed it around in his hands, not noticing Xavier's entrance into the room until he heard the doors shut. Snapping his gaze up, Xavier's sudden presance seemed to surprise Peter as he fumbled to catch the paper weight, rapidly placing it back on the desk. Composing himself, Peter brushed his gleaming silver jacket lighty before beginning to proceed forward to the professor. Raising a finger, Peter was about to get the first word in but got shut down immediately as Xavier addressed Deadpool first.
“So, Deadpool.”, “Do you have another name you go by or do you prefer to use your mutant name?”
Peter was taken aback slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest, tapping his foot impatiently as he waited for the attention to turn to him.

Deadpool merrily skipped along with Peter and Xavier to his office. He found the office to be stuffy and full of woodgrain, it all screamed out old to him.
“So, Deadpool.”, “Do you have another name you go by or do you prefer to use your mutant name?”
"Yeah, they call me Tater Salad." Deadpool said his tone deadly serious. "No? Nothing? Not even a chuckle? Fine then, some call me The Merc with a Mouth, while others go with the more direct 'Hey you over there in the bushes.' But I have also been known to go by Wade Wilson of 'That guy who does what Wolverine does but better!'"
As Deadpool talked he made as way around the room touching everything he possibly could.

"Cease your tapping," Charles chastised Peter via telepathy to save him from possible embarrassment of lecturing him out loud in front of a guest. He hadn't bothered to turn his gaze to Peter when giving the warning.
Their guest droned on, half of what he said not making much sense. It seemed to be his normal method of communication. Whether it was a character flaw or a side effect of his mutation, Charles had no idea. He was unreadable, which was rare for Charles to come across.
Charles studied him as he moved around the room, picking up or touching nearly everything in his wake. "Let's go with Wade, then," he began. Though Merc with a Mouth seemed a quite accurate description. "What brings you to our doorstep?" Charles held up a hand and in hopes of getting a more straightforward answer, wryly interjected, "and I don't mean mode of transportation."

"Cease your tapping," Peter heard, not from anyone in the room verbally but from within. Peter scoffed and was really annoyed now, that Xavier wouldn't give him the audacity of giving him attention first so that he could be on his way. Peter had an inkling that Xavier knew why he had come. And his patience was officially up.
"This red and black baffoon has nothing important to say other than butt jokes," Peter interrupted as he walked right up to the man in the wheelchair, "Xavier, I have come on official business and I need to speak with you. Now," Peter spoke as if he was of authority as he placed his hands on his hips on a cocky manner.

"What brings you to our doorstep?"
"Time Ma..."
"and I don't mean mode of transportation."
"Plot device."
"This red and black baffoon has nothing important to say other than butt jokes,""Xavier, I have come on official business and I need to speak with you. Now,"
"Hey I R Not Baboon!" Deadpool put his hands on his hips mimicking Peter but in a more overly effeminate fashion. "I just realized that Xavier brought us both to his office this can only mean one thing..." Deadpool quickly shoot over to Peter and put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him in tightly. "TEAM UP MISSION! We need a theme song though, all the best Team Up's have theme songs like The Golden Girls, Joan Loves Chachi, Sonny and Cher. I can picture the opening credits now, jump cuts of us doing our thing, you running fast, me hurting bad guys, you running some more, me getting some ass, everything slowing down around you to make it appear you are running really fast through movie magic, me eating chimichangas and then there is some big explosions and in huge bold lettering DEADPOOL and smaller underneath it & Quicksilver."

Charles considered himself a patient man but even patient men had their limits. He pinched the bridge of his nose as Peter persisted in going first and Wade persisted in his nonsensical droning.
“Enough!” He finally said, a frustrated burst of telekinetic energy causing items in his general vicinity to rattle.
He dropped his hand and pierced them both with a glare. “Both of you, sit,” he said sternly.
Giving them a few seconds to comply, Charles turned his disapproving glare to Peter which dropped with a long, tired sigh. “I can see you will not allow me to attend to our guests until you’re heard. Perhaps I should add an etiquette course to the curriculum,” he half joked. “So go on then. Out with it.”

Noticing the agitated behavior that Xavier was expressing, Peter obeyed orders and sat straight down on a nearby chair. He did not mean to be so rash with his old friend, but time was of the essence. Time he did not plan on wasting any longer.
“I can see you will not allow me to attend to our guests until you’re heard. Perhaps I should add an etiquette course to the curriculum,” “So go on then. Out with it.”
Peter finally had caught Xavier's full attention. First task, complete. This was it, the spotlight was finally on Peter as he had willingly taken center stage. The moment that he had been anticipating all day was here, but something was happening. Peter froze where he sat as time seemed to slow to a halt as he stared into the face of the professor. Stage fright? No, that would be out of character. Peter had come fully prepared, the speech he planned on laying out for Xavier all memorized and ready to go. So what was stopping him? What was he so afraid of all of a sudden? His gaze fell for a slight second, contemplating these sudden feelings before turning back to Xavier.
"Magneto, the metal bending dude I helped you break out of the Pentagon a few years back...you seemed in cahoots with him. What's he really like? Is he really a bad guy like the world makes him out to be?" Peter asked with slight hesitation as he watched Xavier's reaction, wondering if he knew why Peter had come.

"Magneto, the metal bending dude I helped you break out of the Pentagon a few years back...you seemed in cahoots with him. What's he really like? Is he really a bad guy like the world makes him out to be?"
Deadpool still had yet to sit down though this course of events caused him to jump over the chair and look at Peter. "Awww our little boy is growing up and wondering about his Daddy." Deadpool wiped a fake tear away from the eye slit in his mask. "Does this mean we are going to have an awkward road trip where we start of hating each other and end up the best of friends? We'd be a perfect match, you can run really fast and I can tell a million and one pornographic knock knock jokes. Look Non Godzilla actor Quicksilver and Not Picard here's The Proposal, just say Definitely, Maybe listen to The Voices and we can be Just Friends." Deadpool tilted his head as if forgetting something "Ahhh.... Blade Trinity... Van Wilder...?" He added quizically.

"Magneto, the metal bending dude I helped you break out of the Pentagon a few years back...you seemed in cahoots with him. What's he really like? Is he really a bad guy like the world makes him out to be?"
The topic was so far from anything Charles had expected. In what way was Peter's curiosity about Charles' complicated friend so urgent that Peter had gone to such lengths to get Charles' attention to ask it? Unfortunately, in Charles' momentary distraction, the red and black buffoon, as Peter so aptly named their guest, butted in with more of his buffoonery.
"Awww our little boy is growing up and wondering about his Daddy.".....
Again, Charles was struck speechless as his attention whipped back to Peter. He watched the young man's reaction and could sense without prying into Peter's mind that this could be the reason for Peter's sudden interest.
As Wade droned on, the wheels in Charles' mind continued to turn. There'd been nothing in Peter's question that had given any notion that he believed Erik was his father so why had Wade so quickly jumped to that conclusion? Unless, of course, this Wade was from the future where it was a known fact.
Still, there was a chance it might have only been the rantings of a raving lunatic so Charles broached the topic lightly.
Charles held up a hand to silence Wade then wheeled himself closer to Peter, giving him his full attention. His anger had dissipated, softening his demeanor and features as he studied Peter and spoke in a calm, understanding tone. "Peter, you believe Erik Lehnsherr is your father?"

"Awww our little boy is growing up and wondering about his Daddy."
Peter whipped his head around, facing the bafoon in the suit. How the hell did he...Peter's cheeks began to flush as Deadpool outed his true reason for coming to Xavier. Peter was baffled as he had no idea what would give this stranger this idea as there had been only two people in the world who had known his secret, up until now that was. Coincidence? Lucky guess?
"Not cool, bro, " Peter spoke lowly to Deadpool as she slowly shook his head for a brief moment, before returning to Xavier who looked incredibly stunned.
"Peter, you believe Erik Lehnsherr is your father?"
"No, I know he is my father," Peter insisted as he stood to his feet before the professor. It felt weird to him to be finally saying it out loud to someone other than his mother, but he knew that he could trust Charles with the details, " and I know it seems crazy. Hell, I thought it was crazy. And when I met him a couple years back, i had a gut feeling about him, but i ignored it. Up until recently." Peter admitted as he thought back to the long overdue confrontation with his mother as the truth about his father surfaced, " And who knows, it might be too late for me, and this all might be a mistake. But I know if I don't deal with this all now, I'm gonna regret it." Peter rook a couple of breaths as he watched Xavier's reaction. He hoped Xavier saw what Peter had been through this past while, he needed the professor to believe him. Charles was one of his last hopes in finding his father.

The only person who would probably be more stunned by the revelation would be Erik himself. Wade having been the one to reveal it and the adamant way Peter said he knew it to be true left no doubt in Charles' mind.
"That's understandable," Charles said gently, motioning a hand toward the chair Peter had vacated in a silent request for him to take his seat once again and to relax as Peter now had his full attention.
Charles looked thoughtful for a moment before he spoke. "Erik is not a 'bad guy'," he began, using Peter's words. "His intentions are well meaning though his decisions and execution of them are not always right." Charles searched for a good way to give a reason without giving an excuse for Erik's actions. "He's had a difficult past," that was putting it mildly, but Charles didn't expand on that as it wasn't his past to tell, "which has put a fierce fight in him for our kind. The problem is, he holds onto so much anger for his past and it has caused him to condemn all for the sins of a few."
He felt it was important to include that point. It was natural for a young man to want a father figure to look up to and Charles didn't want to paint Erik in a bad light, nor did he want to place Erik on a pedestal for Peter to idolize and emulate.

"Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. The problem is, he holds onto so much anger for his past and it has caused him to condemn all for the sins of a few."
Deadpool wasn't paying attention to whatever Xavier had previously said but that last part did catch his attention as he knew all too well what that exactly meant.
"Four or five moments." Deadpool valiantly stood claiming a classic hero position of the big moment "That's all it takes to be a hero. Everyone thinks it's a full time job. Spy on Yukio and Nega Sonic a hero, shit on the lawn and blame it on beast a hero. Four or five moments to make a choice. Turn the X-Men into babies to be look after by a sexy robot, declawing Wolverine or the greatest crime of all time causing the Ultimatum storyline... Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, he is not a Master of Magnets, I once managed to balance a spoon on my nose yet he gets his own country!"

Peter nodded as his gaze fell to the office floor. It was clear his father had made mistakes, and Peter definitely wasn't expecting a perfect father figure to make his life whole. He just wanted Erik to know he existed - as his son. And right now it would seem like a dream for Erik to accept Peter. For now, Peter had to set his sights on the mission ahead. Peter drew in accept breath before looking back up at Xavier, " I need to find him...but I have no clue where to even begin." Peter's expression was almost a plea for help, only hoping Xavier would have an idea of where his old friend might be.

***Maeve's copy appears in full ghost mode somewhere within the mansion***
Maeve looked at her surroundings, getting her bearings. She'd gone off a rough description of the place and was unsure of exactly where in the mansion or on the grounds it would have landed her. She was intangible in full ghost mode which was always safest if she didn't have a specific picture of the structure. Materializing half in a wall was not ideal. She'd feel the excruciating pain of that in her safely hidden actual self.
Maeve was in a dorm room. It was empty, thankfully. Nobody wanted to pop into the room of a teenager unannounced. She shuttered at the thought. Maeve walked through the wall into the corridor, looking left, then right, where she spotted stairs. She headed for them, looking over the banister. Getting a visual of the lower floor, she teleported down and continued to wander, listening for the voice of a male adult.
She passed a set of double doors that led to the patio, cancelling it out for a further look as the rowdiness most likely meant an adult wasn't present. Maeve finally arrived in another room of the mansion that was quieter. The library. No students were present but she heard muffled voices coming from the closed door at the end of the library. At least one of them belonging to an adult male.
One more check that nobody was around to see her, Maeve made her copy fully tangible and raised her hand to knock but paused in surprise as she distinctly heard Erik's name spoken.
"...believe Erik Lehnsherr is your father?"
"No, I know he is my father,"
'He's got a kid?' Maeve continued to stand there, unaware her hand was still poised to knock, hardly listening to the rest of the exchanges as she wracked her brain. Erik hadn't mentioned he had a kid. Then again, they'd avoided getting too personal. But why wouldn't he have mentioned it when sending her to the mansion? 'Ask for Charles,' he'd said, along with a lot of other demands to 'do this' and 'do that'. Why not a 'and by the way, my son is there, too.'? Especially considering the dire consequences Erik had become entangled in. Wouldn't a parent have requested a message be given to their child in case things did not go according to plan?

" I need to find him...but I have no clue where to even begin."
"I'm sure..." Something had been pulling at Charles' attention but he'd been brushing it off. Whatever it was, it wasn't strong enough to have been coming from a person at first, at least not one anywhere nearby. But it had intensified. Charles had long ago learned to shut out the minds of people out of respect for a person's right to their private thoughts but a troubled mind was hard to completely block. Those weren't in an ignorable murmur but more akin to a shout for attention. Still though, these shouts sounded oddly far away, almost as if he was picking up the echo of it. Charles' eyes went to the door that led to the library. "...we can figure it out together."
The pause had been mere seconds, not overly discernable, but he'd brought attention to the fact there'd been a reason for it by signaling the door to Peter.

"I'm sure..." "...we can figure it out together."
Peter's brow furrowed slightly in question, as the professor's thought process seemed to have been interrupted by some incoming traffic that was oblivious to everyone else in the room. The next set of events happened particularly quick, or rather up to Peter's speed of things. The moment Peter clued in on Xavier's cues aimed towards the door, he wasted next to no time before his feet carried him across the room at light speed. Swinging the door wide open, Peter came face to face with a brunette woman.
"Hey doll face," Peter propped his elbow on the side of the door frame as he leaned against it, "Didn't anyone tell you it's not nice to eavesdrop through closed doors?" Peter confronted the woman as his mouth formed a cocky side grin. The more he stared at the woman, the more familiar her face looked. His eyes narrowed slightly in on her but didn't think too much on the familiar sense he felt about her

In the blink of an eye, the door was suddenly replaced by a silver-haired young man. Was this the one proclaiming to be Erik's son?
"Hey doll face," "Didn't anyone tell you it's not nice to eavesdrop through closed doors?"
"I was just about to..." Maeve had glanced at her still raised hand, slowly lowering it when she looked back and was greeted with a replica of the same cocky side grin she'd seen many times before. 'Well shit, he is Erik's son.' "I've come to talk to Charles Xavier."
"Via the library?" she heard the amused question from within the office and assumed it belonged to Charles.
"May I," she said to the silver-haired young man blocking her path. She stepped around him into the office.
"Yes, sorry, I got a bit lost." Maeve got her first look at the occupants of the room. There was a man in head to toe red and black and another in a wheelchair. She made the safe bet that it was more likely the man in the wheelchair than the man in spandex that Erik had entrusting his life.
"Charles?" she asked with a glance at him and received an affirmative nod. She watched the amusement leave his face as recognition set in. "I'm Maeve--"
"Charbonneau. Yes, I recognize you." Maeve watched him sit back comfortably in his chair and place his arms on the rest. He eyed her with scrutiny. "I make it a habit to learn all I can about those who pose a danger to mutantkind. How exactly did you get in here?"
Well, way to turn the room against her. Maeve checked her temper and avoided scowling at him. He had a right to assume as such. "I let myself in," she waved away unimportantly. Rather than arguing or causing further problems, Maeve tried to launch right into it. "I was told to come here by--"
"Trask Industries? William Stryker?" Charles asked, arrogantly waving a hand before placing it back on the rest. He looked perturbed as if he assumed Trask Industries had had the gall to send someone to step foot in his school. "Please, continue," he said flippantly.
Now Maeve did glare at him as she crossed her arms. "No, no. You're doing just fine on your own." Her voice dripped with sarcasm.

"No, no. You're doing just fine on your own."
The sarcasm was strong with this one. Deadpool bounced up and down eagerly as things begun to get fun.
"Take a seat Gnomeo I got Miss Peregrine."
Deadpool approached the woman his eyes intently focused on her chest before walking around the room his gaze never moving. "It's elementary my dear American Horror Story." Deadpool tried to place his hand on Quicksilver's shoulder but failed each and every time he tried before moving on. "We know the Pimp Imp from Game of Thrones didn't send her as he is now a Dawrf unable to fold his hammer on the moon. As for Stryker he is far to busy fondling Wolverines skeleton to ever do anything, seriously guys got a massive hard on for Jackman but then who doesn't? So naturally there can only be one conclusion..." Deadpool encircled Maeve his gaze moving from boobs to butt as he did so. "Mr. Dalton sent her to be my own personal Bond girl!"

"It's elementary my dear American Horror Story."
American Horror Story? Is he talking about me? This dude has the worst analogies, I tell ya...Peter's complexion couldn't help but to flex into a mildly puzzled one as he watched Deadpool attempt to put his hand on the shoulder of his silver shoulder before failing completely and moving along on his insane tangent.
"...So naturally there can only be one conclusion...Mr. Dalton sent her to be my own personal Bond girl!"
Peter snorted as he rolled his eyes at the insane conclusion of Wade Wilson, "Yeah. Riiight. And I'm the queen of England," Peter stepped ahead of Deadpool and slid right in front of Maeve in a confronting manner, "But, the question still stands...what business does someone like you have in a place like this? You know, posing a threat to mutant kind and all....it's rather alarming."

Maeve understood nearly none of the gibberish spouting from the red suited jackass but the last reference had her narrowing her eyes at him. 'Bond girl?' she thought. She'd only seen a couple of the James Bond films and that had been enough. Maeve was offended at being grouped with the mindless, helpless, simpering idiots nearly half Sean Connery's age falling at his character's feet and the fact this man was ogling her body all the while only made it worse. Maeve would have punched him in the face but she wasn't altogether sure if the man was mentally ill.
The silver-haired young man saved her from having to comment by interjecting his own snarky ones and then thankfully placed himself between her and the red jackass.
"But, the question still stands...what business does someone like you have in a place like this? You know, posing a threat to mutant kind and all....it's rather alarming."
A barely discernable quirk of secret amusement hinted on her lips but Maeve continued to keep her secret to herself and instead went straight to the point. Her eyes went passed the young man and to Charles again. "An old friend needs your help one last time," she said, purposefully using Erik's words to back up her claim.
Charles finally spoke again. "Erik sent you?"
Maeve saw surprise flit across Charles' face and she found it especially satisfying after the way he'd stepped all over her initial attempt to tell him. She nodded, adding for good measure, "Erik Lehnsherr. "Magneto"." Magnet Man. "Trask Industries has had him locked up for quite some time and my new boss feels he's an uncooperative waste of space and resources."

"Erik sent you?"
"Erik Lehnsherr. "Magneto"." "Trask Industries has had him locked up for quite some time and my new boss feels he's an uncooperative waste of space and resources."
Peter's ears perked up as the very man he had been trying to find, the reason he had come to the mansion, was mentioned. Well that was easy peasy, Peter thought to himself as the question regarding his father's whereabouts was now answered. Now he just had to get to him....but was it really that easy? It seemed too coincidental to Peter, so he decided to tread the waters of this suspicious woman with immense caution.
"So let me get this straight," Peter interjected as he crossed his arms over his chest and began to pace back and forth in front of their company, "Here you are, an employee of Trask yourself, backstabbing the very company you work for to come to us specifically to....what, give us a lead on Magneto's location for an operation pentagon round two?" Peter stopped in front of Maeve, staring her down with suspicion, "Why? What exactly do you get out of all this?"

"Why? What exactly do you get out of all this?"
"Clearly she's only in this for the D... Pool... The Deadpool..." Deadpool rubbed his nipples while looking at Maeve seductively, not that should could tell what his face was doing under his mask but the whites of his eye slits were giving off seductiveness in a maximum effort kind of way.
"Look if we are gonna be breaking Mr. Fassbender out of prison then I am going to need all the guns, like all of the guns and my pink Hello Kitty duffle bag. Oh also Dopinder cause I only ride in style."
Deadpool proceeded to pull his cellphone out of a pouch on his belt and selected Dopinder from his contacts where he waited and waited for it to connect to his cab driver.
"Any one else have a signal here or is it just me?"

Again, Maeve couldn't comprehend half the things the strange man was saying but when he started to suggestively feel himself up while his eyes were attempting what she assumed was a leer, her own eyes narrowed into a death glare and her hands fisted at her sides. If it wasn't for the fact she thought he might be mentally ill, Maeve would have slugged him.
He took out a devise that looked like a strange, miniature and flat version of the Handie-Talkies Maeve had seen on military and Trask Industry bases.
"I apologize for our guest. He's not from around here." Charles interjected upon seeing the murder in Maeve's eyes.
Maeve looked at Charles, catching a hint of amusement in his eyes. She managed to calm herself and look at Peter to address the question the red mental patient had miserably attempted to answer on her behalf.
"To answer your question, I get absolutely nothing out of this." Except knowing that Erik will be safe and alive. "I'm actually putting everything at risk just being here," she emphasized with obvious self-annoyance over getting herself into this predicament. Maeve looked at Charles. "Erik gave me the impression you two know each other well. Do you think he would have told me about you and where I'd find you if he didn't trust me? I think you and I both know that no amount of torture would get him to turn on a single of his mutant kind that he holds in far higher regard than mere humans," she added flippantly before anyone could waste any time on that angle.

"To answer your question, I get absolutely nothing out of this." "I'm actually putting everything at risk just being here," . "Erik gave me the impression you two know each other well. Do you think he would have told me about you and where I'd find you if he didn't trust me? I think you and I both know that no amount of torture would get him to turn on a single of his mutant kind that he holds in far higher regard than mere humans,"
Arms still crossed, Peter listened to Maeve's speech which seemed rather enticing. Made her sound trustworthy even. But for some reason, an inkling in Peter's gut resided within and he wasn't surr what it was about exactly. Was it a trap? Could they really trust this woman's words? Or was it the fact that finding Erik just became a lot more real than before?
"That was a great presentation, doll face, really. Convincing even," Peter gave Maeve a couple of slow claps before turning to Charles, "But whats the professor's take on all lf this?" He didn't know a whole lot about this woman's character and intention, he trusted Charles and knew the professor might be able to read this woman and what she was truly about, "What do we do?"

While Peter was having reservations, Charles found himself believing Maeve's intentions were just as she said. There was nothing about this that felt like a set-up but he liked to be extra careful when it came to those under his protection.
As Maeve's concentration was on Peter while she answered his question, Charles studied her. He was unable to get a casual mental read off her. Considering her connection and what she was proposing, Charles felt the situation warranted he overstep his respect for the privacy of a person's personal thoughts to delve deeper. He casually rested his elbow on the armrest of his wheelchair and placed two fingers to his temple.
Just as before, the images were blurry and distant as if peering through an old telescope, the sounds a quiet echo as if traveling from the other end of a tunnel. He saw flashes. Things always lingering in the back of someone's mind. Two blurry figures, laughing and playing, their faint giggles giving him the impression it was two little girls. He felt himself sitting on a large seat, small enclosed space, blurs to his sides moving, faint sensation of motion giving him the impression he sat in a car. A large, blurry block came at him head-on, throwing him from that scene. A house now, a single glass next to a bottle of whiskey, a faint feeling of loneliness. Then finally into what appeared to be a small, empty room. No, not empty. There was a table, two chairs, a cot. He found himself sitting in one of the chairs, his mind's eye squinting through the blurry vision at the man occupying the chair across from him. Though blurry, he knew the man well enough to recognize him as Erik. It was difficult to see his features but Charles saw a smile there. The way he looked back at Maeve, how he leaned forward in his chair to close the distance, and the faint echo of the tone of his voice gave no indication of hostility toward the person he spoke to. Quite the contrary. What he saw and felt there definitely felt intrusive so he pulled back.
'Interesting,' he thought with a secret, knowing look. There was more to her reason for wanting to save him but no alternate intentions attached. Whatever it was she was putting at risk, it explained why she was taking the risk.
"But whats the professor's take on all lf this?" "What do we do?"
Charles looked from Maeve to Peter and lowered his arm just as casually as he'd lifted it. "We get Erik out," he said simply, then turned to Maeve once again. "We'll need whatever information you have. Layout of the building, off-hour staff, security systems." Charles paused, thinking over who he had on hand, considering their ages, their experience, their abilities. "We may also need to recruit."

"We get Erik out."
Maeve visibly relaxed in relief.
"We'll need whatever information you have. Layout of the building, off-hour staff, security systems."
"I have all that here." Maeve tapped her temple.
"We may also need to recruit."
Maeve already had at least one person in mind in case Charles had turned her down. "I might know a guy. His entire skeletal system is covered in adamantium, compliments of Trask, including claws that can cut through anything. He escaped from one of the compounds and might like the idea of a bit of vengeance. The only problem is, I don't know where he is or how to find him."

"Okay first of all, Wolverine is like so totally overrated and copied my whole R Rated superhero schtick." Deadpool interjected "He got all berserker rage for like 5 minutes, I killed a guy with a Zamboni! Secondly I like your plan I really do. However I do think it would be a better plan if we tripled the violence and added the mother f**king Green Lantern. Thirdly..." Deadpool held up two fingers, "Your boobs need to stop staring at me because it is making me uncomfortable. Lastly, do you think if Rogue touched me she would become RoguePool?"

The spandexed man knew who she'd been referring to. For a moment, she thought he might actually be helpful but then he had to go and treat her in a sexually derogative manner again, sending Maeve into a berserker rage of her own. Her eyes slit back into a death glare. She took a few steps to Charles' desk and grabbed the first sharp thing she could find then advanced toward Deadpool, hands fisted at her sides, one gripping a pair of scissors.
Maeve started to speak over the last few of his words as she advanced, a rare moment of being so pissed off that she slipped into French. "Je vais résoudre votre problème en remplaçant vos yeux avec vos boules!"
