She came in the main doors of the institute. A perfume hung in the air. Her ears also picked up two voices. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the male voice.
"Where is she now?"
"I do believe she has just stepped into the Institution. I'll call her."
The Professor's voice instantly popped into her head. Greer, there are two people here to see you in my office.
Greer hesitantly went up the long stairway. Her heart was pounding in her ears. She pushed the door open and saw the lock of shock on her own mother's face.
"Greer? Is that really you?"
"How did you do it? She's alright?"
Greer pulled back when her mother stood up. Her mother sat back down.
"No, she's still a mutant." Greer shrunk at that word. "I have simply given her an image inducer. So she still can attend high school."
"So she still looks." Her mother's gaze landed on her. Greer felt it pierced her very soul. She hid her face.
"Different." Professor finished her sentence. "She's gone through specific training for her gifts. And she's---"
"Coming home." Her father stood up. Greer lifted her surprised look saw his wrist and scars that she had given him.
"Please, Dr. Nelson. We can talk about this." Professor said, trying to keep his cool.
"Mom, what's going on?" Greer turned and asked.
"We want you home." Her mother said. She stepped towards Greer again. Again, Greer stepped away.
"Why?" Greer asked. Her own anger growled in the back of her mind.
"I can help you." Her father said to her.
"Just like last time right?" She ended her question with a growl that they stepped back on.
"Greer, I tried to help you."
"You tried to kill me!" Greer's growls were louder.
"Greer, please." Her mother begged.
"No, you, please just leave me alone!" Greer took off her image inducer, and ran out the door.
