The man looked up at him and grinned, much to Xavier's dismay. It reminded him of his sister and how she used to think she was the Cheshire Cat. She might even still think that- he wasn't sure. Perhaps even more concerning was that he seemed to know the basics of what had happened to him in particular since awakening in this unfamiliar place. That's when it clicked- he had seen this Tori with an eye before, right before his fight with Devan.

He listened to the so called 'secret agent', wondering what exactly he meant by him being Anakin and Icarus being Sidious. He knew it was a Star Wars reference; he wasn't born under a rock, but he'd never bothered to delve into that world much. As far as he was concerned, it was just a story with a many, many fans. It was the sci-fi/fantasy version of the Harry Potter series basically. He'd never bothered to read those books either.

"Just because you're a secret agent does not mean you know everything. As far as I know, you're no god or sacred deity," he told Tori, wondering if he was serious or if he was merely insane. "You can't be everywhere at once, nor can you be every being in the universe- living or not. I think you're confused Tori with an eye."

Maybe I should have thought this through. But now was no time for thinking, only for doing. Or should she think before she did? Or maybe she should do as she thinks she would do should she think that she would need to. Oh, now she had to decide and forget it! Sarah was giving her a death glare and Matt looked more pathetic than usual. Actually, he looked genuinely terrified. Maybe they had all lived a thousand lives without really knowing it. Did time even pass by in here?

Aveline grinned like the Cheshire Cat, because she was one you know. Besides, didn't people find it more comforting when others smiled? Maybe not right now, but they could learn to love her smile. Rather, they would learn to love her smile and everything else about her. She was going to be the queen with Tori's help. All she needed to do was destroy Sarah, change Xavier, not be dismembered by Devan, or attacked by anything else lurking in these halls. It seemed easy enough. Now where had she put her broomstick?

Ooh, she was a witch now! Her smile only widened and she chuckled a bit before being pulled back into reality. "Hello again," she sang, glancing at the shadows around their feet. It looked like a bird's nest, but an intimidating one at that. They seemed to be ready to attack her at any second and rip her to shreds. Her eyes widened a bit, anxious. The effects of her weak tolerance for the supernatural was not going to be much help now.

"Could you tell your friends to go away?" she asked, quieter than before. She looked back at Sarah, wondering what was swirling through her head and if she would really kill Aveline.
