Back home Ah work at a school. [In between averting Earth shattering disasters and fighting the good fight for equality, which sadly involves actual fighting. But that is not the point of this.] We teach all the basics, but we also cater to a very special group of people, mutants. Folks born with powers that set them apart on the evolutionary charts. A lot of those people don't really know what ta do with the gifts they're born with, or how ta control them.
That was mah area of focus. Ah've been teachin' young mutants how ta get a handle on their gifts for a long while. Ah'm able ta do it a lot more effectively than most, because Ah can share their power for a while, get an idea of what they're livin' with, and how it works. How it's supposed ta work.
And Ah know we've got some folks here that have powers like that. Gifts they don't quite know how ta work completely. Ah'd like ta offer mah help. Ah know we've got a little school here for further education, so Ah'm wonderin' if Ah might take up a teachin' spot for this sort of thing.
It'd be a one on one learnin' basis. Anyone interested, we could work out days and times for lessons.
Anyway, it's an idea.

[He puts his comm on the bedside table and lies face-up on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Oh. Wait. Eyes closed. Right.]
Uh. Ready.

Take a deep breath through yer nose. And let it out slowly. Do it again. As ya breathe in, feel the air fillin' up yer body. As ya let it go, be aware of yer muscles relaxin', one by one.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Focus on yer breathe. Be aware of it. You're not fallin' asleep, you're becomin' still. The world is fallin' away. It's just you and yer body.
