Professor Xavier and Jean ignored the father, knowing that he was a bigot, like most humans were when it came to mutant kind. There were no amount of words in even Charles impressive vocabulary to dissuade a man from what he had been taught to be from birth. The best thing that he could do for Lucas was to get him out of a house where his ability was not accepted and even forcibly repressed. Charles' own step-father was just as much of a jerk, and he knew just how Lucas was feeling. He wanted the chance to improve his abilities and live a normal life. His mother was a gentle soul, and he knew that he could count on her to do what was best for Lucas.

Thus, he decided to communicate with her alone.
Your son will be safe under the care of myself and my advanced students. The Institute is a place where not powers, but personalities may clash. I will do my best to help keep Lucas in good spirits, so that he may become a mature, educated mutant that can live in a normal human society.
When Lucas came down, goodbyes were said. The two gifted psychics then took one of their own out to their van and began the drive to the Xavier Mansion.
