"...can she control minds?"

"She's never tried. She could theoretically mess with someone's head but whether she could finesse it enough to get specific desired results instead of just causing brain damage we don't know."

"Does not sound like something I'm dying to know."

"You and her both."

"That's—interesting, though, I'd love to take a look at her artefact sometime. And at the one with the dude who summoned me."

Nod. "Once he's tried, probably."

"Mmhm."

"And Mom will be happy to let you nerd about her artifact!"

"Can't wait."

Scooping and flying?

He loves this method of transportation.

Good.

She sets him down in front of a cute little house in the suburbs. "And this is the house I grew up in."

He looks around. "It's adorable."

She hugs him. "Thanks."

And then she dematerializes her wings, walks up to the front door, opens it, and calls, "Mom! Dad! I'm home, and I have a guest!"

After a moment a middle-aged woman who bears some resemblance to Emily walks around the corner. "Hello!"

"Hi there! It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Kaede."

"Charlotte Xavier." She offers her hand to shake.

He shakes her hand, beaming.

She clasps his hand and beams. "Edie's told us all about you."

"I don't know if she told me all about you but probably a lot."

Sunny smile. "All good, I hope."

"Yes, definitely!"

And for that matter what's magic like around her?

She has an artifact! It's even more complicated than that one villain's.

That is really cool.

"So, er, I've never actually really properly dated someone, I'm not sure how the introduction-to-parents thing usually goes."

"I don't think I do either. Let's skip the boring cultural scripts."
