A Little Rain Will Fall
“So how much trouble am I in?” Tabitha asks, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall.
“That is not for me to decide,” Ororo replies. “However, I doubt that your punishment will be too harsh. We’ve all lost control of our abilities at one point or another.”
“You, too?”
“Certainly. When I first arrived in America, I was so homesick that my town saw its rainiest summer on record.” Tabitha is obviously trying not to look impressed, and Ororo continues, more sternly, “However, it’s one thing to be unable to restrain yourself due to inexperience. It is quite another to disregard restraint altogether.”
“Hey, I’m anything but inex - ” Tabitha stops herself. “Yeah, I guess I understand.”
Ororo makes a mental note of her response. Tabitha is the most obviously rebellious of the new recruits who arrived at the Institute this summer, but she doesn’t seem to wish to cross any lines that she thinks would result in her expulsion. No matter what they do to try and reach her, it may not be enough.
