Ahh, ain't real 'mportant now 'nd here, at least from what 've found so far. Folk be real nice 'bout mutant 'nd all that on the ships, but guess there be a whole lot of worlds all mixed to one that we might be the least 'mpressive thing goin' on. Kinda weird to feel mundane at times. [After all, back home it was like wearing a neon sign over your head sometimes, the words 'MUTANT' spelled out for all to see. Even then it was part of his identity, for all his hardships he had gone through Remy loved his mutation. It was so handy, so practical... even if it was a little out of control at the moment.]

If ya don't mind me askin', how far ya gotten with teachin' others to handle their powers? [Maybe there wasn't a school yet from whenever this Xavier was from. Maybe there would never be a school, just because this was Charles Xavier didn't mean he would follow the same path as the man Remy knew of.]

[ He considers his response. ]

A few years. The school closed down for a while but I plan on reopening it soon.

[Would it be too much too fast? Hell, Xavier was really just meeting Remy for the first time (as far as he knew), but the man's insights could be helpful. With Jean being one of the man's students, and how much she had helped him out in Luceti, going to the source could only be better, right? And it wasn't like Remy was worried about hiding what was going on with his mutation now... for the most. He didn't want to worry his crewmates, and he had gotten past telling it to the worse critic he could have; Rogue.]

Ya wouldn't be open to considerin' doin' something similar here, would ya? 've had a bit of shift in powers over the last few months, [No need for details on why that's happened just yet.] I was workin' with a fille who was a student of Xavier's back home, but she long gone for now. We made some progress, but wouldn't mind a chance to keep workin' on what we started.

[ Charles nods. ]

It's been brought to my attention. I'd be happy to help out in any way I can. I'm not lacking in experience.

[ A little wry. ] After all, I trained Erik to use his powers.

[That made Remy's eyebrows go up behind his mask.] Ya trained Buckethead, uh, [Wait, not a good nickname in this case.] I mean, Magneto? [Was that any better? He wasn't sure.]

Color me surprised, then 'gain, kinda hard to think of him without control. [From Remy's experience with the man at least.]

[ Charles' lips twitch. He'll have to remember that one when Erik feels the need to don a helmet. Granted, that time has long passed them by. ]

We all had to start somewhere.

[ Charles' powers taught him the finesse of control, one he had relearned over and over. And he's sure he hasn't even tapped into all of his abilities. ]

Guess so, just never really questioned it when I worked for him. [Ok, now he was just trying to picture the Magneto he knew unsteady with his powers. It wasn't a great picture, although it certainly was funny.] Then again, he got a few more years on him in my world.

Either way, would appreciate 'ny help ya might be able to give, don't really wanna risk losin' control. It wouldn't be pretty for 'nyone 'round me.

Certainly. I'd be happy to lend whatever aid I can.

[ He could ask more about Erik. About what he did but it would serve no purpose. ]

Merci, [Remy offered, although... he supposed he should give Xavier a heads up with what he would be dealing with, in case the man decided to back out.] Thing be, my mutation, I thought I would hit a limit by now of how much energy I be puttin' out... but it hasn't hit it yet. Jean Grey 'nd I worked on some ways to burn it up so I don't go burnin' m'self or others, but it gettin' to a point 'm wonderin' if it's 'nough. [For all the show and flashiness of his powers, Remy wasn't much to talk in detail of them. He had an idea how they worked, what he could do, and that was fine, but to talk about a lack of control, or worse, how he got control, was a whole different thing. And here he was putting his trust in a man he hardly knew, in this world or his own. It was something that normally wouldn't sit right for him.] Really don't wanna make those jokes of me bein' a walkin' bomb come true.

[ Charles nods, his mind already working through his theories. ]

Kinetic energy often has some kind of drawback. Usually, my cases have to do with control, but in your case the solution would have to be very different.

[Control he had gotten, before Remy had gone and removed the limiter that had been put on him. In a way it still helped, he had years of practice behind him to help him from just going boom, but it all just wasn't enough.] We were able to work together for the idea of a semi constant shield, so 'm burnin' energy whenever 'm awake. It ain't the most elegant thing 'round, but it's doin' most of the work.

How often do you use your powers?

[ Because the body might need to adjust to that output if it has changed recently. ]

With the shield, whenever 'm not asleep. [There were other times as well, but no need to go into details on that. Considering the shield put out a lot of heat as well as burning energy it made it tough to maintain contact with someone for too long. Last thing Remy wanted to do was end up burning someone.] Usin' the powers how 'm use to before this all, not so much. The ships don't 'llow for throwin' explosive cards 'round, I just try and make the most of bein' outside whenever we land somewhere.

Perhaps what we need is something that can absorb the charge. Something you can keep on you at all times without it exploding due to the output.

[Xavier's choice of words immediately brought up a though of Rogue and her mutation, her ability to absorb powers and thoughts, and was as quickly dismissed. That was not an option, both for her's and Remy's sake. He really didn't want her to be able to go poking around in his thoughts and memories, and the last thing she needed was another voice in her head.

Instead he just offered a shrug of a shoulder.] We talkin' 'long the lines of a battery or something? That kinda 'bove my level of expertise.

Well, Alex had a suit to hone his powers. Keep it from being everywhere at once and destroying my house. Perhaps we can re-purpose that concept for gloves or something. A material that can hold and release that charge without consequence.

[Nodding his head as Xavier spoke, Remy however stopped as the other man did, and moved to hold up two fingers.] Two issues to address with that, one bein' to make sure whatever it is can hold 'nough of the energy 'nd not explode from accumulatin' too much, 'nd two be how that charge gets released.

We were stopped at a space station before this moon 'nd durin' m' time there I managed to pick up some staves that seem to have a form of power pack built 'nto them. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but the seller did 'mply that they be designed to act as a projectile too, that could put energy cell 'nto it 'nd use it as a form of laser gun or the like. Was plannin' on givin' it a go with m' own charge. Now, ain't too keen to pull it 'part since they be brand new 'nd I ain't even had a chance to break them in yet, but seems the tech be out there at least for some sort of temporary storage 'nd reroutin' unit.

[ Charles nods, filing it away. ]

Would you mind lending one to us? Hank and I can take a good look at it.

[There was a shift to his form and a (hidden) look of discouragement to his face, he not really wanting to give up a toy he hadn't even had the chance to play with yet, but...] Sure I can arrange that.

Though, if ya'll don't mind, would like it back in one piece if ya'll can put it back together afterwards.

We'll be sure to keep it in one piece.

Very kind of ya, 'll be sure to drop it off at one of ya ships later on. Ain't a real rush, been workin' with it since I got here.

'ppreciate the help.

Of course. Anything to make life a little easier.

[A nod of his head before Remy held a hand out to shake Xavier's.] Was nice meetin' ya monsieur, again. [A hidden smirk behind his mask before a bit of a sarcastic salute towards the other man.] Guess will see ya 'round.

[ He shakes it warmly. There's history there, but Charles doesn't feel any antagonism. ]

Take care, Remy.
