Hey Kid, Congratulations On Not Killing Anybody

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into an administrative building as well as faculty and staff housing on the second floor.

Sometime after his first mission with the X-Men, Chase arrived for his weekly session with Doctor Rede with a generally happier disposition than usual.

"Mr. Delacroix please come in," Gideon said. Once Chase entered Gideon gestured at the two free chairs in front of his desk.

"Don't worry you'll keep your nickname, Sparky," Gideon said easily. "Based on the good mood I assume the mission went well."

"We got Miss Kinney back and saved a bunch of mutants from... being brainwashed into killers..." he answered, growing more serious towards the end.

"I'm... glad I could save someone from that..."

"At the beginning I was... well, terrified I'd fall back on training and go too far. I never felt that impulse. I just felt... alive, I guess."

"Finding the right motivation is the most difficult part of being a member of the teams," Gideon said, "Many people burn out of the program because they lack deeply held motivation. Some people leave because they have the wrong motivation."

"I thought I was good but all I could do was keep her busy until the others took down the telepath controlling her and I barely managed that. If she hadn't been fighting it and holding back, I wouldn't have stood a chance."

"There's nothing wrong with having those thoughts, kid," Gideon said, "Anger is a perfectly understandable emotion given what happened. What's more important is to understand why taking vengeance will not bring you peace and how you can go about turning that anger into something productive, eh?"
