The nights at the X-Men Academy are very quiet, with only a few rooms still illuminated.
"What is this place?"
The dim lighting made the Electro feel terrified, as he kept glancing around, as if a wild beast might suddenly leap out from somewhere.
"Calm down, Electro. You're a middle-aged guy for goodness' sake—stop acting like a helpless little girl," Ye Hai teased.
"You damn bird-man, where have you brought me?" Electro looked at the somewhat old castle and said, "Look at this decrepit castle; is there some ancient monster living inside, like a vampire or something?"
Ye Hai laughed heartily, "If you say that about Professor X, he might get angry, even though he usually has a good temper."
"This brother is just not used to unfamiliar surroundings yet," Professor X's gentle voice came through.
The castle doors opened, and Jean pushed Professor X's wheelchair out slowly. The professor looked at Electro with a warm gaze that seemed to reach into his soul, instilling a sense of calm and comfort that immediately quieted Electro down.
The professor shifted his focus from Electro to Ye Hai and said, "Dr. Ye, thank you for bringing us a wonderful mutant brother."
"He's a mutant?" Ye Hai said in surprise. "Professor, are you sure?"
"Yes. I can sense that he is indeed a mutant," the professor affirmed.
Ye Hai glanced at Electro and said, "Alright then. I thought he was just a product of genetic mutation, a very good subject for my experiments. Professor, he is dangerous and needs to be contained."
Electro's face changed dramatically, and the blue light around him began to flicker violently.
The professor shook his head, "He is our brother; we cannot treat our brother like this." He turned his gentle gaze back to Electro and said, "I can sense your fear, but you don't have to be afraid. There are many friends here; you can consider this place your home. You've become one of us. Max, that's your name, isn't it? You are lucky, Max. The electricity has awakened your latent genes, allowing you to become an exceptional mutant."
