Amelia || Always A Helping Hand

[xmen]

Professor Xavier sat in his office and began thinking, closing his eyes and shutting himself from other disturbances. Charles knew that with the likes of The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and even Thor, the world would change drastically. The four and even The Avengers were no threat to Charles and to the X-Men because they all have one thing in common and that’s saving humanity from the likes of Loki, and even Magneto if it came down to that. Charles would not be surprised if Erik decided to jump into the fray and get himself involved because if he did, then the X-Men will be ready.

Then suddenly he heard a knock on his door as Charles opened his eyes. Then raising one hand, the doors opened slowly as he saw a woman. “Hello…I take it you’re Amelia correct?”, he asked as the young lady nodded her head. “Come in, I am not busy as you seen. I am Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute” , he said and introduced himself. She’s a beautiful and pretty woman, that’s for sure but that was not the subject. Once she came in and took a seat, Charles raised his hand as the doors closed.“So Amelia, tell me, why did you come to the Xavier Institute?”, he asked her and listened to her answer.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia raised her hand and knocked on the door. She was astounded when the doors opened by them self. She heard a friendly voice say that she must be Amelia, so she nodded. He introduced himself and she followed him into the room. She sat down on a chair and then watched as his hand flicked and the doors closed. She couldn't keep the surprise from her face. Professor Xavier asked her why she was at the school and she sighed.

"Well, you see sir, I suffer from visions. Visions of the future...but only the worst of the future. And whatever happens in these visions, I feel...for example if someone was stabbed or shot, which is usually the case, I'll feel it as though it was me who got hit. I've seen my friends killed in horrible ways...I just want to stop these visions. I don't want the power to see the future,"" Amelia told him, her voice unusually soft. "Is that wrong?" She murmured suddenly, "Is it wrong that I don't want my powers? Should I just learn to live with them and accept them?" And Agent Amelia Raven Smith dreaded the answer, which she was assuming was yes.

Professor Xavier listen to Amelia. Too many times Charles has dealt with mutants with powers like Amelia’s but he didn’t mind. Charles could always see the good in mutants and in time, regular people would understand that they are not a threat, unlike Erik who disagreed and went the different direction. He wished that his old friend who open his eyes and see what mutants are really made of. Charles was just glad that Amelia came to the right place instead of Magneto because if she did, Amelia would just be another victim. A victim of Magento’s blind obsession with the Brotherhood of Mutants and what they represent for.

Once Amelia finished, Charles placed his hands on his desk, looking at her. “Well first, I am glad that Nick Fury send you here. Now…..as far as your questions go, no…it’s not wrong for you to have these powers”, Charles told Amelia. “Do you know who you are by having these power?”, he simply asked her and knew Amelia’s answer, being unsure of the question that was asked to her by the professor. “You are mutant but it does not mean anything bad…it’s good. You have to live and learn to accept the powers given to you”, he said. “I am a mutant myself of telepathic abilities, meaning I can read your mind”, he said with a smile on his face.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia listened to him. "What do you mean?" She asked when she asked him when he asked her who she was with her powers. Then she seemed to understand. "My powers make me, me, is that what you're saying?" She sighed.

She blinked when he said that he could read her mind. She blushed a deep shade of red when a thought of Steve came up. She instantly blanked her mind. "Well..uh that was embarrassing..." She was still blushing.

Amelia sighed, "Is there anyway it can be less painful?" She asked, brushing a strand of her golden blonde hair from her face and twirled it through her fingers. I just want to be normal... she thought, forgetting that Xavier could read her mind. After a moment of twirling, Amelia ran her tongue over her lips, tasting the foul lip-gloss she'd put on and pushe the lock of hair behind her ear.

“To make is less painful, here is thinking positive and not worry about what happens next. Or when you feel happy and enjoying life and those visions of yours you won’t have anymore”, he said to her, offering the best answer he could give her. “But these powers that you posses are those you will have for the rest of your life but like I said before…it’s nothing bad”, he told Amelia. In his experiences, mutants were depressed and judged for who they were. Charles never felt that way but being in the shoes of another mutant including Amelia, he could just imagine it. Some people can never understand what good mutants can bring to the plate

Charles then read her mind and related to Amelia. Charles wanted to be normal too but his powers brought the best for him and the X-Men. Without them, he wouldn’t be where he is now. “The powers that you contain can help the person or people in whatever visions you have, which can alert whoever about what’s to come in the near future”, he explained and it was almost like a fortune teller. “But what you have is normal and the students that I have here in the institute contain different powers. It takes time for mutants like you to go along but only YOU Amelia can control it with the mind and how you feel”, he said offering the best answers and thoughts.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia sighed. "Sir, I do tend to think positive, but no matter what this visions are always horrible." She bit her lip, "Do you think there's anyway I can control them?" Amelia didn't know what to do, and for one of the first times she couldn't think of anything that she would normally say to make people laugh. She wasn't her normal self.

Then suddenly, boom. The visions. Amelia squeezed her eyes shut. She gripped the arms of the chair. The tears starting coming, sliding down her face and leaving stain trails. Positive, think positive! her brain screamed at her and suddenly the vision of her friends being slaughter it showed the portal being closed, the aliens falling, Loki being sent back into Asgard. The Avengers winning. Her eyes snapped open and she grinned a true sincere grin.

"I did it!" she exclaimed happily, "I made the visions positive!"

[xmen]

Before Charles could answer, he noticed Amelia's eyes closing, gripping the chair, tears running down her face. The visions were beginning and Amelia started to concentrate, telling her mind, her brain to think positive. The professor was familiar to this when he was alone with his students, always practicing there mutant powers. It took time for he or she to master them but never gave up. Then Charles could sense that the positive visions were coming to her and noticed the grin on her face, she succeeded.

Charles smiled before speaking. "Well congratulations Amelia. All you had to do was just think positive and not negative. Now you have the control with your mutant powers" he told her. "Keep on practicing this every time so that no negative visions will come out" he said to Amelia. Charles felt proud of Amelia and knew Fury would be too if he was here. Charles never turned down the X-men and his students. He wanted to do more than help but present the community for what is in today's world.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia smiled at him, "How can I ever thank you, sir?" She asked, wiping her eyes. "Man...my makeup is going to murder me if I keep crying like this," muttered Agent Smith as she blinked once more ran a finger across her eye.

"We can win. We will win," She said, "The Avengers and SHIELD and all of our allies with conquer, we'll save Earth from Loki and his army!" Her smile turned into a grin as the thought of the Avengers' victory entered her head.

"Here are some tissues to dry those tears off" he said before he chuckled a bit, as he takes some tissues from a box and hands it over to Amelia. Charles could see the joy in her eyes after she did it. It made Charles feel his job here was done but not quite yet. He can expect others to come forward and to help because mutants today are having diffuculty being excepted. There should be no hatered towards mutants because they want to be understood and not have regular people afraid.

"Amelia, you don't have to thank me. The only person you can thank is yourself" he said with a smile on his face before continuing forward. "Today proved that you are in control of the mutants powers given to you by mankind but it's not over yet. I expect that these visions, the negatives ones will come back but only YOU can be the one in control of them. You can allow them to come back or just to think positive and they'll vanish" he said to Amelia and meant every word of it. "Thank you for coming and if you ever need anything...i'm here" Charles said with another smile.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia smiled at him and took the tissue. She thanked him for it and wiped her eyes, scowling at the makeup that come off. "Oh well," She muttered carelessly, shrugging. She looked at Professor Xavier and smiled. "But, sir, I couldn't have done it without you, I'd never known that I could somehow prevent them until now." She nodded when he spoke that the visions of the horrible things could come back, but only if she allowed them. "I understand sir, thank you sir." She added the last part when he told her that if she ever needed something, he was there for her.

"Sir?" She said softly, looking at the ground and biting her lip. "What about Loki? Whenever I see him in the visions, I get the sense that he's...somehow misunderstood, that he's not necessarily a bad person, he's just...I'm not quite sure how to explain it..." She trailed off and looked up and stared off into the distance. She bit her lip again and then tried again, "He's...he's...he's uh...he had a troubled past, he was ignored and pushed aside...all he ever wanted was to make his parents proud..." She told Professor Xavier and turned her gaze back to him. She gave a slight wry smile, "I can tell a lot about a person from what I see in a vision...it's strange..."

"Is there anything we can do for him?"

[xmen]

Professor Xavier listened to Amelia ask him about Loki and what else can be done, explaining how he's been treated and all. Some of it was familiar to Charles, between him and his brother Cain. Cain always felt like his father treated Charles above him, like he didn't matter. Charles wished things were different between them now. He would even welcome Cain with open arms but with his step brother, things would be different. Between Loki and Thor, they need to settle there differences but no on earth.

"I'm afraid not Amelia" the professor said to her. "I believe that Loki will do whatever it takes to gain control of earth but he's not alone from what I sense" he told her, meaning in other words, there's someone or something working with Loki. "It's up to you, SHIELD and The Avengers to stop him from causing anymore more damage. Once it's all over, Thor needs to take Loki back to Asguard and talk about there differences. That and only that is what I see" he said to her, offering the best answer he could relating to the issue.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia nodded, "Thank you again sir, perhaps I should be going, I should see if Nick needs me to do anything." She gave him a smile and stood to leave. She turned and started walking toward the door when she stopped and turned towards him.

"I knew I recognized you..." She said softly an old vision coming to mind, "Years before today I had a vision where a man, you, had a stone dropped on you, that crippled you while battling an alien, I believe? Called Lucifer. It broke your spine...and your legs, didn't it?" She murmured, watching him.

[xmen]

"Yes" the professor told her. "That did happen a long time ago but the past is the past and I am getting used to me being in a wheelchair" Charles told her softly. "I'm happy of where i'm at right now with the institute, the mutant community and everything else"

[Amelia Raven Blake]

"I wish I could have done something...gotten word to you..." Amelia said softly, looking down. She felt she owed him some sort of debt and was quite put down that she hadn't been able to warn him of what would happen and where it would land him.

[xmen]

Amelia had good intentions to save Charles but that was all of the past. Why was she worrying about it now with her visions? Charles looked at her before smiling. “It’s alright Amelia, I am fine with what has happened in my life and with the state I am with now, I feel good about it” he told her. “Thank you for coming and tell Nick I said hello” he said to her before she saved waved and left. Another job well done Charles Xavier.
