<div align="center"><strong>Wolverine</strong></div><div align="center">(http://www.beyondhollywood.com/uploads/2012/02/Wolverine-Comic-Book.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Myself</strong><br/>My life has been a long one. So many people I once knew are now long dead. Some by my own hand. Some by the hands of my enemies. But will I ever die? I don't want to die, not yet, even though I feel out of place. There is so much to do. The world is in turmoil and the one man who seemed to know how to help it is dead. Killed by my rival, the man who held the heart of the woman I loved. The man who took the team I have spent years with in the wrong direction. Now it falls to me to take over for Xavier. To try my best to fulfill his dreams and what he stood for. This is my school now. My students. I must protect them. I must teach them to master their abilities and to manage their inner demons. I must find other mutants and help them as well. This is my life now. These kids are my life.<br/><br/><strong>Storm</strong><br/>Ro has been with me on the team for a very long time. She and I are the only ones left from the time when I joined. Others left at around the same time we joined, though they came back later. Storm and I have fought side by side in so many battles that I've lost count. I know I can trust her and I know she was the perfect person to choose to help me with the school. We seem to work so well together. I'm glad to have her back on the team. There's been attraction there for a long time, I even thought something might happen, but that ended when she got married. That was a surprise. I guess she just wasn't interested in me. Probably for the best anyway, everyone I love ends up dead.<br/><br/><strong>Toad</strong><br/>I know what it is like to be different. To be shunned and ignored because of something you can't change. I know what it is like to be used as a tool, a weapon to fight for others. I know what it is like to have done horrible things in my past. Toad needs someone who believes in him. Who can help him become a better person. He needs someone who can trust him, despite all that he's done. Professor Xavier trusted me even when I tried to kill him when we first met. I hope that I can help Toad the way he helped me. He deserves a chance and I intend to give it to him.<br/><br/><strong>Nightcrawler</strong><br/>Working with him is strange. I was once friends with him. Another version of him. It will take more time to get used to the change, but I know this isn't the old Kurt. This isn't my friend, the man I trusted absolutely. But this Kurt is strong. He is a good addition to the team. I just hope he can tame his anger and focus on something other than revenge. I don't know how well he would do as a teacher. He might be able to help a few of the students, but I don't think I can trust him to teach just yet. Not until he proves he is not a slave to revenge.<br/><br/><strong>Flame</strong><br/>She is unique. A student at her age is something different, but there is much for her to learn. And yet she has knowledge and skills that can be useful to us here at the school. So I've trusted her with teaching some of the more academic classes. I just hope she can do well with the opportunity I've given her. I know that I personally have much that I can teach her. We share a similar ability, though who knows how similar our powers are. Will she age normally, or is she like me? She is a great asset to the team and to the school and I definitely want to see her do well.<br/><br/><strong>Traitor</strong><br/>I wish it was easy to trust him. I wish I didn't have to keep him locked away when we don't need him. But there are young children here and it is my job to protect them. Hank says he can help make sure that he won't be controlled by outside forces. That's a start. The last thing I need is an ally stabbing my team in the back when we least expect it. Yet I respect him for the choice he made to turn on his own kind. He has no where to go now. They won't take him back, at least not without a total reprogramming. I may be uneasy, but I understand him in a way that I don't think others can. I know what it is like to be controlled, to be built with a purpose and to be used as a killing machine. Maybe not exactly the same, but close enough. With time he may be able to join the others, but for now I'd be stupid if I didn't keep a close watch on him.<br/><br/><strong>Gambit</strong><br/>His knowledge and experience are a benefit that I just can't turn down. He's rejoined and left the team many times, but he's been a trusted ally for a long time. When I split from the team that Cyclops was running and decided to start the school he joined me and started to teach. Since then he's been by my side, helping to keep the students safe. He even stayed behind during the war with the Avengers to make sure the students were protected. He has earned my trust and my thanks and I am glad to have him at the school.<br/><br/><strong>Nuo</strong><br/>She has great potential, but a lot to learn. She is one of the reasons the school exists. If I can do anything to help her I will be happy. She could join the team one day, but not yet. She will need to learn more. I also feel she needs a place where she feels safe and where she can feel that she isn't being used. Any choices in the future will need to be her own. I just hope that this is a place she will thrive. I've been told about her potentially short life span and I wish there was something I could do. One thing I do know is that if she keeps up the reckless behaviour she will definitely have a short life span and that is something I definitely wish to avoid.<br/><br/><strong>Bishop</strong><br/>I am not really sure what to think about him. I feel I can believe his story, but there is some lingering doubt. I don't know if I can fully trust him and I will keep an eye on him, but his skills and experience can be useful. I trust him enough to let him help, though not enough to teach on his own. I know that others aren't quite as trusting, but if we can't make him feel welcome we may end up pushing him to the betrayal that we are worrying about. At this point we need everyone we can get who is willing to help and he seems willing. I just wish I had Xavier's ability to read minds so I could be more confident in where I put my trust.<br/><br/><strong>Myth</strong><br/>He needs a home, a place where he belongs. It seems he has been through a lot and I hope to help him. Ororo brought him in and I can see why. His power provides him with an astonishing ability, but he needs some guidance whether he realises it or not. He has lost the woman he loves and I know how painful that can be. Perhaps I can teach him how to handle the pain. I know I can teach him much to help improve his skill. In my many years I've learned of legends from cultures across the globe. The more he knows, the better he will be. He will need to be tested before we send him into the field, but I believe he will pass the tests. I don't know if I should classify him as a student. I don't think he'd accept it if I tried. Maybe I just won't tell him.<br/><br/><strong>Astraflare</strong><br/>She truly is why the school exists. She is the type of person Xavier had in mind and the type I want to help. She needs guidance and reassurance and this is the place where she will get it. There are people here who can help her learn to master her abilities. It is here that we can keep her protected and safe from the dangers in the world who would wish to harm her or corrupt her. I don't know if I am the right one here to take her under my wing, but I already see that Ororo has taken notice of her. Storm will definitely be a good mentor.<br/><br/><strong>Jubilee</strong><br/>She is truly like a daughter to me. Jubilee will always have a place in my heart, no matter what happens to us. If she ever needs me I will be there in a heart beat. If anyone threatens her I will defend her. I don't care what anyone else says about her being a vampire, I will still help her. That is why I provide her with my blood. Together we can find a way to cure the curse. But until then I know I can trust her and everyone else had better get used to the idea of having a vampire around. I'll do my best to help her adjust and to help put the others at ease, but I won't keep her locked away. I do want her to start being more positive again. I want her to be happy.<br/><br/><strong>Mercury</strong><br/>She is young. Not a child any more, but still young. She has fought well before in the field, but that isn't what this school is about. She is still a student and I feel I need to take care of her, protect her. Ororo wants to make her a full X-Man though. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. What if I make her a member of the team and she gets killed? How would that make me feel? I just don't know if she is old enough to make the choice for herself. The others are old enough to know the risks and be responsible for their choice, but I think I'd feel guilty if something happened to Mercury.<br/><br/><strong>Psylocke</strong><br/>We've argued from time to time, but we've fought side by side many more times. She is strong and I know she is a powerful asset, I just hope she can handle her emotions. She and Bobby think they have a secret, but the headmaster's job is to know everything that goes on in his school. I may not be telepathic, but I have my methods. I won't say anything though, what they do in private is their business. I think Bobby might even be able to tame her temper with time, unless she breaks his heart first. I hope that doesn't happen. When looking at everything, I know I can trust Betsy. I am certain she is dedicated to the school, the team, and all the things we stand for and strive to accomplish.<br/><br/><strong>Iceman</strong><br/>Bobby is powerful. He is also dedicated to the team and to the school. He is another one I can trust. He can be a bit naïve at times. That is something that may need to change if he wants to lead the team in the field in the future. He will mature more with time and with guidance. Though he has already come a long way from where he began. His optimism is a good thing to have in a place like this. I feel that he will be one of the key assets that we have in the coming months and years. I just hope that Betsy doesn't change him too much. Could his positivity survive having his heart broken?<br/><br/><strong>Surge</strong><br/>She is another one like Mercury. So young, but so talented. It is clear she would be useful on the team, she has proven herself in battle before. I am just not sure I want to put her in a place where she could get hurt. I know she will argue that she understands the risks and that she can make her own decision, but I'm still the one who has to send her out there. It is such a difficult choice to make and I don't know what to do. I think I will have to talk to her at some point. I wish I knew how to protect her without making her feel like a child being told to stay at home while the adults go take care of business. She isn't a child any more, even though she is a student.<br/><br/><strong>Vektor</strong><br/>He is another new student who shows great potential. I want to be able to keep him safe now that he is here and to help him fit in. His mental abilities need to be explored, there may be other things he can do that he just doesn't know yet. His empathy ability doesn't really bother me since my emotions are usually easy to read, but I fear that others may be bothered by them. I will need to keep an eye on him and see how he interacts with others. He may need to be taught when and where to use his abilities and when to talk about them.<br/><br/><strong>Beast</strong><br/>Hank is a genius, simple as that. However, I feel he doubts me ability to plan and think things through. I wonder if he feels he would be a better choice to run the school, or if maybe he even thinks he is running it behind the scenes. I certainly hope he doesn't. Even so, I know that he can be trusted. He came with me to start up the school and his abilities as a teacher and mentor are beyond valuable for the students. His technological prowess make him one of the most important members of the team. He also believes in uniting mutants and humans as strongly as Xavier did and as strongly as I do. I know he will do all he can to protect the students and the school from any dangers.
