*3rd POV*
'I knew it, the moment I had first seen Adrian, I knew something was different about him, about his mind, about his powers, they had abilities beyond normal scopes, that's why we had given it Omega level power, but we had nothing that was it, giving limitless potential and doing everything it could to help him grow, but this?' Xavier thought, while looking at the damage he had done to his garden, the trees fallen to the ground, the bushes withered, the grass gone.
In just one night, he had destroyed one of the things Xavier was most proud of in this mansion, he had even tried to use on the mutant in the mansion to make the plants grow back, but the moment he came in contact with the ground, he retracted his hand, saying that the plants had screamed at him to escape from Xavier.
Xavier erased his memory to evade problems, so he tried the old ways, planting seeds, but the moment they were planted, the seed got spit right at their face.
Yes, you have heard it right, the GROUND SPIT the seed back at their face.
Turning his wheelchair, he looked at the damage done to his mansion, the headache that had started from last night only getting worse when seeing the damage he had done to the inside.
He could erase the memory of one singular kid, but all the ones in the mansion? That was going beyond his scope of power, had he been Jean he could have done it, but he wasn't, and he seethed every day at how she was not using her powers the right way.
What angered him the most, though, was how his powers had failed to control him, the first time he tried to read all his memories, an indestructible wall stopped him, so he created a parasite to influence him, and said parasite had now been reduced to nothing, telling him that Adrian was on the Himalaya, he didn't know how, but Adrian had been able to hide his position quite skillfully.
The words he had written on the walls made some of the kids doubt, fortunately I wasn't only a master Telepath.
" Adrian must have been corrupted by Magneto."
That made some heads spin, the name still making some of the students tremble in fear.
" When he met Mystique?" Jubilee said after a small push through telepathy.
" He wouldn't do that," Rogue said, her emotions still a turmoil, not knowing what to think, her mind was more complex to easily control so Xavier had no way of making her say what he wished.
" Look what he has done, the mansion is destroyed," Scot countered her remark by pointing at all the damages done to the mansion.
" He must have had a good reason." Rogue almost shouted, her emotions showing her true ideas of the current situation.
" YEAH HE WANTED TO IMPRESS MAGNETO." Scot countered her shouting with his own, making everyone in the mansion stop right in their tracks, chaos wasn't out of the question in the mansion, but shouting out of anger? That was.
Rogue stayed silent, instead of countering once again, she went out of the living room and into her room, her emotions making her head and heart hurt in doubt.
'Why did you do it?'

*Adrian POV*
Using the empty ID to escape the mansion, I proceeded to find a place to stay for the night, deciding on an old, cheap motel, I don't need sleep, but having a private room where I can let the timer of the empty ID recharge wasn't a bad idea.
" Are you still there?"
* I am* The usual piece of paper appeared.
"Did I go too far? There were kids at the mansion, kids that don't deserve the things I did to their home, no one deserves their home destroyed."
* No one deserves to have their mind controlled, what you did while pushed by your emotions has planted a seed of doubt in the minds of many people inside the mansion, your show of control over nature was also quite beautiful to look at.*
Remembering what I had done, I look at the ring on my finger, the vines produced by it still hugging my finger and giving me a relaxing feeling, the little almost dead plant that was in the room seemingly coming back to life after I came near it, touching it felt like petting a cat, the leaves moving under my touch in happines.
Obsidian got jealous so I was forced to pet the plant and him at the same time, not that I am complaining, petting cute things helps restore your sanity.
* Your progress over the magical art is quite fascinating, you don't use circles or even chants to create spells, you just manipulate mana to your will, and it seems happy to listen to you*
"You are a magician, then, can I know your name? Calling you piece of paper isn't that nice."
* Most people call me the Ancient One*
" Not ominous at all."
* I didn't pick the name*
That made me snicker, which combined with the petting made me relax a little, the effect that my powers gave me to control over my emotions weakening when the situation wasn't dangerous or serious.
" Why are you interested in me? Why help me? Why not try to control me like Xavier did?" I asked the million dollar question, my mind unknowingly hoping for a certain answer.
* I was not aware of your existence, I can see everything about everyone from the future to the past, but you are an incognita, which makes me curious, seeing your actions made me realize that you are a good kid, a troubled one, but who isn't these days?*
So my powers can stop from reading past and future, neat, one less thing to worry about, or maybe just future, and she saw what happened to me.
" Did you see what happened to the matron?" My voice came harsher than I wanted.
* No, I saw that the event had been a big piece of your life so I stopped myself from looking at it. If you ever feel like talking about it, I will be pleased to listen to you and help you*
I sighed, Obsidian yawned and fell asleep in my legs, the little plants already detached itself from the pot and sprouted all along my arm, its roots going along my fingers as a form of a hug.
*Rest now Adrian, your mind isn't that invulnerable as you might think it is.*
I remained silent, looking at the ground for who knew how long, but then I sighed and moved under the covers of the bed, Obsidian crawling under my shirt to warm on this cold night, the little plant, fueled by my nature mana, hug my arm and fell asleep in few seconds, can plants even sleep?
' Let's just sleep for now.'
And I instantly fell asleep, the magical eyes that had until that point been staring at me gone.

*3rd POV*
" Are you sure of this master?" An asin robust man asked an old man with a very long beard.
" For the thousandth time, Wong, yes, I am." The old man said, showing a bit of anger, more annoyance than actual anger, and putting his tea on the table in front of him.
" You have seen his future, are you sure you will be able to help him?"
" What I saw was a kid that was alone for most of his life, what I saw was a kid who tried to defend himself, what I saw isn't set in stone, and if I weren't to help him even after seeing what he will go trough than I am no better than Xavier." The Ancient One, also known as Yao, said to one of his many students.
" But master-"
" Shush, you will not speak anymore of this matter unless I bring it up, have I made myself clear."
Wong simply nodded and moved away, leaving Yao alone with his tea, the wrinkles on the old man's face relaxing when left alone.
" Adrian Riviera, I hope I will be able to help you." Yao took one last sip of his tea.
