Hi, Mr Xavier! How are you settling in? It’s Ellie of the Many Names.

I might have something for you that will help you get around town. My dad has a hover chair he isn’t using and I spoke to him to see if you could have it while you’re here. He said as long as you’re okay with it, he is. Just let me know!

Hello, my darling! I'm settling in quite well, thank you for asking.

I'm afraid I don't quite follow. What is this hover chair?

[Yes, he knows what it sounds like, but he's from the Seventies. Humor him.]

Good! I’m glad.

It’s like your chair but it hovers. No wheels. Easier on steps.

That's quite remarkable! I'd be quite curious to see this chair, if your father wouldn't be opposed.

This is an exceptionally generous offer on your part, Ellie. I can't thank you enough for this, darling.

You're welcome! I'll let him know. And here's his number so you two can get a hold of each other.

I shall contact him later tonight.

The next time I see you, I'm buying you lunch. No arguments.

Thank you again, darling.

[In the middle of this.]

Professor, do you have any kids, like actually your kids. Not... well you know what I mean.

Yes, Alex, I understand what you mean—and the answer to the question is that no, I have never fathered any children that I am aware of.

Thank you for the confirmation Professor!

You’re welcome—but why am I confirming this? Why are you asking?

I was curious?

[Just these judgey eyes, Alex. Charles is not buying what you are selling.]

[ugh fine] I wanted to know for a friend.

[It takes a few minutes for him to respond--with a small, tremulous smile.]

Would that friend happen to be David Haller?

Maybe...

...I have a son, Alex.

[Someone's feeling like a proud papa at the moment.]

I'm glad you found him.

Thanks again for finding me. And giving my dad that hug.

Too much magic or not enough? Hard to say. But this is definitely weird.

XIII Jij bent het licht en ik zal volgen Je laat me mijn schaduw verliezen Jij bent de zon De gloeiende kroon En je blijft me verbranden met al je liefde Jij bent de schittering in de duisternis van mijn wereld Je neemt me mee, je bent de magie in mijn aderen Dit moet liefde zijn XVII. Everything beneath The layer of ice Lives still in cold water XX. It's already started, This bad taste The woods the woods the woods and then These headaches XXIII. These new behaviors worry me She'd kill us if she had the chance Thirty boxes, made of bone Flying through the crossroads Landing on the fork Between heaven and hell

I am Groot? [Hi there Charles. Are you busy? Groot needs to talk to you about something.]

I’m never too busy for my favorite young artist.

What can I help you with, my boy?

Oh my God.

Where did these come from?

I am Groot. [Knock knock. This is a conversation that he kind of wants to have face to face. It's important to him.

When he is let in, Groot will hop up into Charles's lap with another picture for him to hang up.]

I am Groot. [So this whole Black Door thing. It's got him worried. He was able to protect the smaller humans in the artificial wombs when there was a monster attack, but this is so much bigger. Scarier. He has people that he cares about that he wants to help protect. People like Charles. David, his Dad.

He stands up, puffing out his little chest.] I am Groot! [So it's time he grows! They're getting together what he needs, but it also means because he has to put down roots he's going to be stuck in one place for about a week and he doesn't want Charles to worry.]

I am Groot? [He also kind of hopes that he'll visit him?]

I was working on some tech and this came out instead.

[Not long after he sends the message, there's a knock at his door. When he answers, and finds a familiar little seedling standing there, Charles lets him in wordlessly, then laughs in surprise when Groot just climbs right up into his lap without hesitation.

He offers Charles another picture, and Charles accepts it with a smile. He's been shopping recently, and for Groot's benefit has taken to keeping a few of those origami stars on him. The one he gives Groot in trade is made from a paper he found in the merchant's dome, light as air and luminescent, glowing with a gentle orange light as he places it in the little tree's palm.

He listens carefully as Groot explains himself while Charles glides across the room in his hover chair. Mindful of Groot as he stands and puffs himself up, Charles stops in front of the refrigerator to add the new drawing to his growing collection.]

That's a very noble thing, Groot--wanting to protect those you love. And? That includes talking to your family when you don't want them to worry should you have to stay home for a while. Growing up is very important, and if dear old Grandad can do anything to help you prepare? Just ask, and I will be there.

[His little question...oh, it breaks Charles's heart in the best way possible. Once the drawing is securely on his fridge, Charles gathers Groot up into his arms, giving him the biggest hug he possibly can without damaging his little branches.]

I shall see you every single day--and if I can't come over to see you in person, make sure David has your TC close. I'll get on the video phone and we'll read some more of The Fellowship of the Ring together.

[Drawing back, he looks into Groot's little face with a fond smile, and with what little the boy's been able to teach him, he carefully chooses his inflection and focuses his intent to make sure he's understood.]

We are Groot.

[Little boy, your grandpa loves you to the moon and back.]
