Betsy looked down. "I don't know. I don't . I guess my dad won't welcome me home again as a mutant, but I always have my modeling job. If they won't kick me out if they find out I'm a mutant. You know people these days really think that if you're a mutant, you cheat. It's disguisting! Just because we have special powers, don't mean we're... Criminals!" Betsy spat. "And if I'll get accepted as an X-man, I'll definately think about it!"

Ray shrugged; "Ignorance," he mumbled; "There ain't a cure for it, sad enough as that is, it's true. No matter what, a label's a label, and every stereotype that follows," he looked at her; "But you might luck out with that Modelling thing. Just know that if you become and X-Man, there's no hiding being a mutant. There's no hiding anything," he added with a sigh.

"Yes, that is true." Betsy snorted. "I' just can't understand why people simply don't accept that we're mutants. And we're here to stay! And what's with that Magneto-guy? He only makes mutants look like cattle with his ideas!! I saw him on TV." Betsy looked at Ray.

At the mentioning of Magneto, Ray's hand drifted to his still-injured side; "Look," he said, staying calm as he looked at her, "Magneto's ideas might be crazy and a little scary, but the Professor's 'ideas' aren't perfect either. Magneto's got human issues, anyway," he paused; "I would too if I was a kid sent to Aushwitz((sp?)), but that's not the point. The Professor's lucky enough to see the world from his wealthy, prominant stand. Magneto isn't. He still sees things from a scared Jew's point of view with Nazi's all around him. And don't tell anyone that," he added quickly; "About Magneto. I only know because I was snooping around and asking questions."
He rubbed his eyes; "I mean, you think Norms are being bogus? We're technically at war with each other. Mutants for Xavier, mutants for Magneto, no one can see eye-to-eye on anything..."

"Exactly, and don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Betsy smiled. "Listen, Ray, do you mind showing me around? For I only know the way from my room to the kitchen, and it feels rude sneaking into people's brains to get to know the way. Today in school Amara helped me, I was totally lost otherwise!" Betsy laughed.

Ray blinked. It was weird how other people could swing from one emotion to the other, while Ray tended to stick with one for the longest time. He was only flighty like that around Paige.
"Uh, sure," he said, fumbling at the thought of his girlfriend; "But it'd be kinda awkward with me walking around alone with another girl..." his voice trailed off.

Betsy laughed. "You have a girlfriend? Does she also live here?"

Ray eyed her, but smiled a little; "Yeah," he said; "Her name's Paige. Problem is her brother lives here too so he's always getting on me about something."

"Oh, I understand" said Betsy and smiled, "Okay, I'll try looking around. I'll yell if I get lost!" she joked and made herself on the way to the door. "Oh and, Ray, how many floors are there?"

Ray blinked, taking a moment to count; "Two, officially," he said finally; "But there are three, maybe four lower levels. Don't worry, that'll make sense later," he added.
"Good luck, and don't worry about privacy. Just let people know you're coming in," he added jokingly. But that was how it was around the place sometimes.

"Thank you." Betsy smiled brightly and went out the door. She had only been here for a short while and had already made some new friends, without using her telepathy. Betsy stopped in the corridor. There were a lot of rooms. "Well, good luck, Bets" she thought to herself and started walking.

Jamie just stodd there and finally said"Ray, Why do you hate me?" he just waited for an answer and yet he already knew it. He soon said "I just wanted to hang out because I respect you, but you go off and hang out with her. I mean she is cool and all, and I love purple hair because it's a turn on, but still." he then got an apple and started to eat.

Betsy walked along the corridor, looking around. She went into aone room, then the other. "They all look exactly thesame!" she groaned. "Oh man..." she looked around. "Where am I now?"

Betsy laughed. "I don't read minds which I don't have the permission to read, just so you know. I'm Betsy Braddock, who you? "
