The girl was brilliant, but her interpersonal skills needed a bit of refinement. She was probably too nervous, maybe even more than Jean herself. Still, she was fulfilling her part in this get-together perfectly.<em>“I was right to ask her to come.”</em>Jean thought.<br/><br/>Jean was pleased that David brought up the students’ needs as well. That was an important point to make as well. After all, this outreach program was would help them experience the world and learn valuable life lessons.  With this, perhaps they would not feel resentment for being denied complete freedom. Magneto offered more in this regard, but his way also brought death and hardships that children shouldn’t have to face until they were mature enough to make the decision. For now, seeing their families a bit more often would at least help lift their spirits.<br/><br/>Ms. Smith’s first words brought Jean some relief, and her body seemed to relax in response. Unknowingly, she had been tense all morning. Jean nodded to her,<strong>“I understand, and I’m sure it won’t be a problem.”</strong>Having an armed escort was something she was used to. Anytime she and Xavier had to attend any meetings outside of the school, they were followed by guards with power dampers. It may be an exaggerated measure, but Jean understood why people feared them. Unlike mutants like Wolverine or Beast, whose danger levels could be gauged visually, Jean and Xavier had invisible powers and thus nobody knew the true extent of their potential. That seemed to scare people more than mutants with claws and fangs.<br/><br/><strong>“I have put the word out around school already. I can already tell many of them are excited by the prospect.”</strong>Jean smiled,<strong>“And I have made some lists that would work on different scenarios. Depending on what is needed, I can alter it with the right students that can make the most difference.”</strong>Jean had been preparing this project all summer, so she was ready with her answers.<br/><br/>When the ambassador mentioned the work with the military, Jean was a bit uncomfortable. It was not that surprising that the Government would want their help in this way, but Jean wasn’t sure it was the right idea. She also knew Xavier would be hesitant as well. The thought of having the government use mutants as tools of war was something they had been trying to avoid. Even with the first group, Xavier often wondered if he was robbing the X-Men of their chance to be simple teenagers.<br/><br/><strong>“I would have to discuss that with Professor Xavier.”</strong>Jean replied after a brief pause,<strong>“For one thing, the students who may participate in these missions would have to be over eighteen.”</strong>They could not stop them if they were of age, so that would be their decision to participate.<strong>“There might be some negotiation on the details, but I’m sure we can accommodate on the other aspects.”</strong>She finished, not making any promises just yet.<br/>
