Garret had started an early morning run like he had for the last twenty years. Each day he was up before the crack of dawn and each day he would go a jogging. But today was different today he was in the city and today he had a destination. But he had to focus on the run he had to keep him self in his peek condition it was all he could do to prevent himself from shifting all over the place as he took side routes and back alleys till he made his way to the old elite mansion a place of many memory's for him and not all of them good.
it took him only an hour to cross the city and stop in front of the large building. Garret had intentionally dressed himself in the plainest clothes he could find for some odd reason he still felt the twinge of danger as he thought about this old place. He felt it would be best to look as if there was nothing special about him so he could just shift away and fade in to the crowed.
It took him a while but after standing there for five minutes he slowly walked up and pressed the doorbell.

Clara slipped out of the kitchen putting her coffee down when she hear the doorbell ring. "Yes but the case clearly states... Hey... Chris damian! No running up those stairs..." She called the two boys while still on the cell to her partner. She was dressed and ready to go to work. Amy had to swing by and take over at the orphanage for a while. She crossed the hall and opened the door expecting amy there. "That the victim was bur..." She gasped and dropped the cell and it shattered on the marble floor when she saw who was standing there. She still looked like the same clara only with a few frownlines, thinner and the sparkle had faded from her eyes. Deep dark circles were under her eyes and she always seemed like she would start crying even when she was laughing.
Her mouth dropped open and she had gone pale.

Garret just smiled having by now realised that to her he must surly seem like a ghost. "Ah Hi Clara" he said as a single eye brow was raised and he continued to look up to her with those big golden hypnotic like eyes of his "long time no see."

Clara still stared in utter shock. Then after a moment she flung her arms around him. "Oh my God ... Your real." She whispered. Tears filled her eyes and blurred her vision.

"Yes Clara I'm real" he said as he still stood there his hands going gently around her as he softly patted her back. "And I am back." he told her before pulling back and looking back to her eyes. "I must say that the years have treated you well" he said his lips curled up in to that sweet soft smile that he used to give her.

Clara wiped at her tears and gave a soft laugh. Two boys came running down the stairs. The one flung his arms around her and looked up at the man. It was easy to see he was a mutant. His skin was luminous green. The other a thirteen year old glanced around at the phone. The broken phone raised into the air and put itself back together. She smiled and plucked the phone from the sky. "Thank you damion." The boy smiled then looked at Garret with intrest. She glanced down at the younger boy. "What did I tell you about running up those marble stairs huh?" The young boy dropped his head in shame..."Not to." he replied.
A van pulled up behind them and a car followed. Clara smiled softly. The two boys broke loose and dashed towards the vechiles. "Jack! Rose!" They called. Jack emerged from the van and Rose from the twins car. Clara turned back to Garret. "They are the only things I have to remind me of Matt. Jack especially has his fathers features."

"it was a sad day when he passed” Garret said as he nodded to her. "And if Jack is even half the man that Mat was then I must confess he is far greater then I” his own eyes shifting away from hers and over to where her two children had pulled up. "I am quite pleased with what you have done with this place. But if I hay ask why an orphanage?"

Clara looked up at him. "Jack is the spitting image of his father. It hurts so much to have Jack around me at times because he is so much like Matt." She looked back at the orphanage and turned back to him amiling softly. The light had faded from her eyes though. She was definaitly not the same Clara. "You Garret... You and Amy. I thought about the first night I found you. You were so lost and confused and I had such a urge to protect you. I wanted to look after you. Like I did Amy. I wanted to teach you that you were not a monster." She said softly. "You were the reason I started the orphanage. " She closed her eyes and sent a mental call to all the kids in the orphanage. She needed them to come down and go to the institute...

"Clara I want to help" he said as he waited there for just a moment. "I know I have been away for these last twenty years but I had to clear my mind of some of the things I had done" he told her his heart sinking as he felt his grip on his own thoughts slip and the time in which he had beaten a minor elite fanatic for information coming up to before his eyes. He quickly crushed this thought however and moved on to what he was saying. "I wish to become a councillor for these young mutants"
