Sadie brushed back a strand of long black hair from her face, now oddly at peace after her ordeal with Gray's men, and she turned to Del with a confused look.

"I..I don't know. I wasn't followed, but the car I was driving is one of?theirs. The men who were chasing me," she told this stranger who with her very presence seemed to have calmed the nearly frantic girl. "They trace it here. But I doubt they'll try anything. Not here. Not right away. They don't like witnesses."

Sadie looked around, then turned her gaze back to Del, "They want to use me as a weapon. They will wait until the time is right."? She closed her eyes, then put on a half smile and extended a hand to Delphine, "I'm Sadie Logan."

(Del)

Del took the extended hand.? "Hello, Sadie.? I'm Delphine Montclair.? My partner and I founded this academy, for people like ourselves and you.? You are welcome here."

"It would help though if you could tell us more about your situation," she went on.? "To start with, just who are 'they' that you're referring to?? We're aware of a number of groups - and individuals - who seek to control or manipulate mutants to serve their own purposes.? We'd like to know if this threat is coming from one we know about or is an unknown source we haven't been aware of."
