-X-Mansion-
Located at 1407 Graymalkin Lane, just outside of Salem Center, Westchester County, New York, the original ancestral Xavier estate was built in the late 1700's. Currently owned by Charles Francis Xavier, this sprawling mansion was erected near Breakstone lake and serves as a school, as well as the secret headquarters of the outlaw band of mutants known as the X-Men.
The estate was originally named The Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters, but changed its name to The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning with the opening of a new school in Snow Valley, Massachusetts. Since the recent closing of the Massachusetts Academy, the original name was restored, although due to the reconstruction of the Mansion the name has once more been changed to The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.
The Mansion was destroyed by a brainwashed Franklin Richards, a student at Xavier's. During its reconstruction, the Mansion took on a bold new appearance; the overall Mansion is in the shape of an "X", while it boasts two separate dorm buildings and a maze.
Although the outside looks modern, the inside has retained its 1700's style decor with oak-paneled walls and wooden floors. The mansion still houses its state of the art facilities for the education, training and protection of mutants.
The X-Mansion is now in the shape of an X. In the middle of the main courtyard is the X-Men Memorial Statue, dedicated to the memory of the X-Men. Notable rooms include the Danger Room and a room containing Cerebro. The basketball court is a popular hang-out; it was the site of a well-known basketball game in which the X-Men used their mutant powers. Directly below the basketball court is the hangar, which houses many transportation vehicles, as well as aircraft such as the X-Men Blackbird.
Ground Floor
Outside the X-Mansion
A large tiled courtyard leads to the main entrance of the Mansion.
A large, plush foyer splinters off into various rooms, and straight through the foyer leads to the hyperlift, an elevator that leads to the Restricted Access Sub-Levels and the Administration Wing where the offices of the Student Dean, Headmaster, and Administrator are located.
Access to the back is gained through various points, the main entrance being the kitchen. Located at the rear of the estate is an Olympic-sized swimming pool, basketball court and main entrance to Breakstone Lake. Each of these facilities are for students, faculty and X-Men.
Devil's Rock used to be the exit and entry point for the X-Men's aircraft, the Blackbird, but since the Mansion's reconstruction, it has been relocated beneath the basketball court. Upon departure and landing, a klaxon will sound warning for anyone nearby to vacate the area. Students are advised to move immediately once the klaxon sounds.
Located behind the large maze is the Girl's Dorm Building, and located behind the 'center tower' of the Mansion is the Boy's Dorm Building.
To the East of the Mansion is the maze, and to the West the full-sized baseball diamond, complete with spectator stands, scoreboards and commentator stand.
Classrooms, canteen, and library are all located in the "center tower" of the mansion.
Scattered throughout the ground floor are various rooms and halls, such as a large ballroom that occupies the domed structure near the rear of the building, the students' recreation room, and various other game and computer rooms.
Also located on the ground floor is the nurse's office, which is a ground-level medical lab which anyone can access. It is run by either the medical staff of Xavier's, or RALPH, the holographic doctor.
Forests, farmland, and lakefront surround and isolate the entire estate for miles. The nearest town is Salem Center.
First Floor
This floor is dedicated mainly to the quarters of faculty, staff and X-Men. Aside from the quarters, there are laundry facilities, a workshop, and a recreation area that is strictly for faculty, staff and X-Men.
The Attic
Adorning the top of the mansion is a large glass-paneled dome. It is filled with various types of plants, much like a greenhouse.
*Small Note: A lot come from good old wikipedia.*

Professor Charles Xavier leaned across his desk, propping his elbows up on the edge and resting his chin on the tops of his hands as he laced his fingers. His face scrunched up suddenly.
“No leads have come on the whereabouts of the Crowe daughter kidnapping,” sounded off a report from the television screen. “Back to you John.” The screen shifted back to news-station as more talks about the young girl that had been missing for four years now continue.
He sighed as a shorter and well built man walked in, closing the door behind him. He let his eyes follow the line of sight of the professors that guided him to the television. Currently the screen was showing a short brown head woman asking the people watching to send any information about her missing daughter if they had any. “I feel sorry for the woman,” muttered Logan. He pressed his backed against the wall behind him next to the door, “So why did you call me? You said you found something.”
Xavier looked up at Logan, “We are one member short Logan, just wait a minute please.” He received a grunt as an answer. Xavier began to send his mind out into the school, searching for one his teachers. He quickly found his combative teacher, who was currently teaching a class. “William, I need you in my office please.”

Letting out a soft sigh as the Professors voice rung in his mind distracting him for a moment as he was watching his call running through their warm up drills, just a simple basics on guarding yourself and getting to a dominate position on the ground.
"All right class, that enough for today." HE comments over the few heavy breaths, and grunts as guards were getting passed and back were hitting he floor. Getting me with a unanimous disapproval from his students William simply shrugs his shoulders. With a small smile as his students got to their feet. "Same time tomorrow and ill see if I can catch you up. And please, I don’t want to hear of you guys practicing in the dorms again." his last comment got met with a long and soft roar of laughter as he exited the room with a sigh. what could this be about?" he asks himself calmly as he starts walking for Professor X's office entering the doors about five minutes after wards.
"You called for me Professor." He comments calmly as he closes the doors behind him and walk to the middle of the room. Turning and nodding his head in greeting to Logan, sating his name at the same time.

The Professor pointed to the television screen as the picture of the missing girl popped up with his finger. "Her mother has set up another conference. She asking for help again."
Logan started to light up a cigar. "Light that and you will believe for the rest of your life that you are an eight year old girl. I will have the children braid your hair." Logan coughed as he put the cigar away quickly. He looked over at William, "She your gal friend right. A call from an old lady saids she saw her in Canada a few years ago. That she was attacked by men with masks and guns. The reason why she has come out now is because she didn't have a tv until now. Her grandchildren brought her one a few days ago. Your research ever lead you there?"
Xavier shook his head, "I can't seem to find her with Cerebo, but maybe with this new lead I can. However, I don't wish to make a futile search if you leads don't go in this direction." He still didn't believe her to be mutant like William did, but still...she was a girl in need and Xavier wanted to help. Mutant or not, he belief would have him help.

"I had a small and faint rail leading her there yes. bu im not sure if she ever mad it. ha last thing i found on her was her purchasing a airplane ticket and hen she vanished like a ghost." William states calmly as he straights out his clothes a little bit. even though it was just a simple suit, white button up shirt, with a black tie and black slacks. his mind was currently racing over every night he spent up, walking around random towns, and burning through a library's worth of video tapes, and asking the same question a million times over. when he was dedicated on searching for this young girl.

Xavier and Logan looked at each other before Xavier moved his wheelchair around his desk and in front of William, "Good enough for me then. Shall we try Cerebro once more?" Xavier chuckled as William face lit up slightly at the possibility of finally find the young girl.
As Logan and William follow the professor to the elevator that lead to the lower corridors, Logan spoke, "Why are you doing this kid? Sure, she may be a mutant, or at least a girl in trouble, and I know she is a friend of your ex...but still. Why? Even with all of that, I would but this much effort into finding her." Logan was never one to really care about the people around him. There were a few, but not some girl that was probably trying to get back her mother or a stranger.

"When Katie learned what i was she got vary scared of me. and he last thing she asked me to do was to find her." William comments as the elevator doors open and he three move inside. "I know you don get it when i say this, but when a woman asks you something from her heart and shes crying. begging you o do his for her,... its nearly impossible to refuse or forget your promise to finish what she stared." with a silent face HE simply looked forwards a the polished steel waiting for the floors to fly past them.

Logan pulled the jeep up into the schools garage and entered the large mansion. He was rubbing his jawline, mumbling about the girl getting a good shot at him. Still she had gotten away.
He sniffed the air suddenly and jump around to see the professor behind him, "Jesus wheels...you trying to get completely paralyzed!" Xavier shook his head, "I see things didn't go as planned?" Logan shook his head, "No, they didn't. For being inexperience, she sure has one hell of a good left hook. Nearly took out my jaw clean off..." He once again rubbed the throbbing jawline of his.
Xavier moved himself to a window next to him and looked out at the students playing on the court, "Hm...I am worry about her. However, I cannot force her to come or stay here. She knows where we are, perhaps she will come to us..." Xavier looked over his shoulder and saw William, "William, is there anything I can do for you?"

A little over a week had passed by at the school after the hold Alkali Lake ordeall. Things returned to normal fairly much but an unexcepted event was about to happen that would be rather shocking.
It was christmas eve and all the students were at home with their families. Those that had none went with their friends and roommates. The faculty were staying at the school to celebrate christmas amongst themselves and to enjoy peace and quiet while the munchins were away. The sun was just starting to raising when a knocking on the front doors of the mansion could be heard echoing throughout the building.
Caitlin once again knocked on the large door. "This was a bad idea," she said, suddenly turning to leave. Her uncertainy was taking hold of her.

"Its seven in the morning Caitlin, whats the problem?" Williams voice cuts into the morning air as the door was opened just enough so he could still rest his body on the door. his body language showed he was hurting, not drasticly but he was feeling his large eggnog intake last night as he was trying to sleep through the morning if not the day but he ever was one to hold his liquor vary well and he had passed out early off i the night.
"At least come in for some breakfast." he commetns with a smile. glad that she was alive and well enough to find them

Caitlin moved away from him, her enhanced sense of smell drowning her suddenly . She felt like she had consumed way to much alcohol too. She pinched her nose and shook her head to remove the odor coming from her. "My god," she thought, "Did he drink a barrel of rum!?"
um, "she started to say something but that was all the came out as she continue to move away from him.

Sighing softly to her reactions he steps back from the door.
"Well what kind of a greeting is this? here i am all jacked up and in no condition for a welcome. please come on in." he nearly whispers out as he shuns from the sun light, opening the door more for her.
