I'm sorry."  Martin said, beginning to blush again.  Not only had he not registered her complaint until nearly a minute after she said it, he had put his foot in his mouth.<br/><br/>His mom and dad had always referred to her as the Summers girl.  His mom had learned how to control her energy projections from Scott Summers and seems to have ignored every negative claim about him since she left the X-Men.<br/><br/>Ms.<em>Grace</em>sounded pretty pissed off.  But from what Martin had heard, it was a rare day when she wasn't.  It would be hard to imagine her with a sunny demeanor considering who her mother was.  Martin figured it was best to just let her disdain roll off his back.<br/><br/>Martin endeavored to find a place to bring Ms. Grace back into the conversation, but every time he glanced over at her to ask her opinion on a matter, her eyes were always fixated on Ms. Powers.  Martin took this as a sign that she was avoiding eye contact with him, meaning he had likely offended her deeper than he imagined.  He knew now wasn't the time or the place, but was resolved to make it up to her some other time.
