[ The video shows a very large, very blue eye blinking directly into it. Almost as soon as it appears, the camera pans out to show Julian's face, and then it seems to hover directly in front of him. His shoulders are down but the camera is directly in front, held by his telekinesis which also happens to be holding the gauntlet it's attached to. Julian walks along like this is completely normal. Once it reaches what he thinks is a reasonable distance, the Town Center with its fountain can be seen behind him.

His expression is a sardonic smirk, and his voice is a drawl. He doesn't sound panicked. ]

So, Cape Kore. My 'new home'. That's cute. What is this, like Survivor for mutants? I see the cameras. You guys aren't subtle, whoever you are.

[ The camera comes closer again, and something bright and metal taps the face of his watch. ]

Who's even on the other side of this thing? I'm fucking talking to myself, aren't I. What a joke...

[ He rolls his eyes, and for a moment looks like he's about to turn this off. Then he appears to think better of it. His face hardens, and his lips compress into a line. ]

Whatever. This is Hellion, I'm with the X-Men. If anyone's out there, sound off. I need to get off this ride, and one of you is gonna tell me how, right now, or I'm going to take every one of those little cameras and grind them to dust.

Start talking.

[ Charles Xavier. Well, that explains why his face is familiar. Jubilee had warned him there was a weird version of the Professor here, and it turns out she wasn’t lying. Being semi-prepared for it doesn’t stop Julian from narrowing his eyes, and staring at the man’s face critically. It’s weird to imagine him older and hairless. Even weirder to know that he’s dead now. Then again, if you want to get technical, so is Jubilee.

His eyes are right, though. ]

Julian Keller. [ He says it after a pause, still eyeing Charles. ] I went to your school, Professor.

Have you even opened it yet?

No.

[ He smiles though, thoughtful. ] It hadn't even crossed my mind before I came here. I've only very recently found other mutants myself, and though my home is open to them, educating a more wider group still seems slightly surreal.

Though you're not the first to mention it so I imagine it comes about.

You’ve been talking to Jubilee.

[ God, this is so weird. She’d warned him. She’d told him that the Professor is different here, it’s just…weird, to know more than the Professor. And to see him as young, even though he’s still older than Julian now. ]

We’re from the same place, but not the same time. From what she said, you might be from a totally different world. [ He’s frowning, curiosity getting the better of him and overriding pretty much anything else. ] Your students, they’re not Scott Summers and Jean Grey?
