Guest didnt trust him. Rightfully so? Maybe, maybe not.

But considering how many times the X-Men had fought him, Guest didn't think very highly of him. And now he thinks he can simply take over the team after Xavier? Call them 'his' X-Men with such confidence?

Erik accepted the role, attempting to redeem himself and follow Xavier's dream of peace, though he struggled with the responsibility and often reverted to more extreme methods. But he learned to balance patience and authority very well, irritating Guest further because it gave her no reason to defy him other than her just being an overly independent person. Traumatized, of course. Authority figures let her down a lot growing up, so having Xavier for so long helped Guest open up to him and the team, like a family. Her main thought always sounded something like, 'who the hell does this Erik guy think he is?'

Well... it had been a few months since Erik had officially taken lead of the students AND the X-men, and unfortunately, he was earning Guest's respect, though she had tried not to show it much. Guest tried to remain indifferent and a little defiant, just to remind him she only listened when she wanted... but it was making him irritated, she could tell. And she knew it wasn't good for the team, so she decided to do the mature thing. Ugh.

Today, Guest was right outside his office door, the place she used to read as 'Xavier's office'. A place she used to go to for advice and assistance, like a brother figure. Now it was this jackass in charge... Guest took a deep breath and lifted her fist to knock -- but the door opened to reveal an exhausted Erik.
