And well, she wouldn't get the job but he couldn't tell her that. She had stayed up all night preparing and doing all she could hence why she was cranky this morning so telling her that all her efforts were a waste didn't seem like a good idea

*Knock knock*

A knock was heard at the door while the family bickered on about various minor things that they needed each other's help in. The knock brought instant silence to the table.

"Who's there? " David shouted seeing that no one was responding to the knock.

"David, stay behind me…  to your room" His grand father said as he immediately picked up the metal bat he had lying around in a corner.

None of them were expecting anyone neither did they have any form of relative that could come visiting unannounced. They would have dismissed it as a neighbor but they lived fat away from the nearest farm or market.

"Sharon, take your mother upstairs and David, if anything happens…  defend them no matter the means" He said as he turned to the boy behind him who simply nodded.

Obeying his grandfather, David immediately used his powers on both his mother and grandmother as they both levitated off the ground following behind him as he flew upstairs.

"I'm sorry we aren't expecting any guests so please can you identify yourselves" The old man said as he tightened his grip on the bat.

"Oh, I am sorry for scaring you. We are from the Xavier's institute for the gifted, we sent a letter a month earlier" a male voice answered from the other side of the door

"I told you we should have sent it via E-mail, no one reads their mail anymore" another voice said

"Its not the time, Hank" the first person said

Hearing their bickering, the old man turned around to ensure that his family was gone but only saw David who was seen standing at the steps of the house.

"Are they trustworthy? " the man asked to be sure.

"Yes, there are two teams of people out there. Max Eisenhart also known as Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier both are trustworthy" David listed

"Magento?... Isn't he like a terrorist? "

"Well to him, he is a mutant freedom fighter, well the both are…  Magneto is just more extreme in his methods" David replied

"So I should open the door? "

"You can, it's your house…  they can't harm it even if they try" David replied

"Okay, what do you want? " He asked loudly

"We just want to talk, nothing else" Charles replied

"Always the conversationalist, you never change, do you Charles? " Max said to the man in the wheelchair close to him

"Just don't cause any trouble" Charles replied

A few minutes later, the door was opened and the old man could see the two…  well nine people who were waiting outside the door.

"Hello" the old man said as he dropped the bat in his hands by the door

"Good day, my name is Professor Charles Xavier… " Charles began

"Don't bother, I know who you are but only you two can come in" he said as he opened the door wider

"Okay then, Erik, if you would be so kind" Charles said as Erik used his powers to lift him up the stairs and into the house.

Okay about the name of the book, it doesn't actually reflect the character as much or his abilities.

I named the books this simply to differentiate it from Elysium so if you have a good title suggestion, please comment here
