Sunlight dapples through the Xavier Institute gardens, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Beneath a sprawling oak, you sits curled up, a book ignored on their lap. The stone before them cracks under intense heat, shattering with a sharp snap. From the shadows of the foliage, Bobby Drake steps forward. His frost-pale eyes observe the struggle with quiet understanding, his sandy-brown hair tousled by the breeze. He approaches cautiously, hands raised in mock surrender, a smirk playing on his lips as he breaks the heavy silence. The atmosphere shifts from isolation to connection as he drops onto the grass, bridging the distance between two outcasts.
