Raven walked over to him and put a firm hand on his shoulder. "They don't and that's why I was there in the first place." Her voice didn't tremble although her fingers tightened just a touch. She'd been there because of him. She'd planned on placing him in hands that she trusted, someone who could get him somewhere he'd be taken care of. Maybe here. Plans had changed, but the destination hadn't. He was somewhere safe. Even if she was planning on teaching him to do dangerous things.
"That's why we're creating the X-Men. To serve as a force to protect those people who can't protect themselves. And as for how we know who needs the help, well, I have my information sources and Charles has Cerebro. Put the two together and we can progress from a needle in a haystack to a book in a library, categorized with its location known. He can determine whether the lead is a good one or just rumors. Saves us a lot of the legwork."
There was a question she wasn't asking. How he'd gotten there in the first place. Some things she wasn't sure she was ready to here, yet, and that story was one of them.
