"I am merely saying you have a gift, my dear. Even if it was self-taught. With the right tutoring... gifts can develop." Erik smiled at the girl.
Charles would no doubt be pleased... he liked having children around.

"You must know... I am not without them myself."
Erik held out a hand and a piece of scrap metal that had been discarded in the alley came flying to him. It stopped in mid-air and was shaped into a delicate rose.
He plucked the 'flower' out of the air and held it out to the young lady.
"My name is Erik Lehnsherr."

Megan took the rose, while simultaneously trying to figure out just how many damn Eriks there were in this city.
At least this one wasn't disfigured. Nor did he appear to be a naked Swedish hobo.

In addition to control over her powers, he would have to teach her proper etiquette as well.
Still, Erik remained kind.
"And what may I call you?"

"Oh, sorry, um. Thank you. Sorry I forgot to say it... I mean, Megan. My name is Megan."

"A true delight to meet you, Megan."
Yes... Charles would probably like this one. A thought that brought just a touch more warmth into Magneto's gaze.
"Perhaps we could meet again sometime, at a more becoming time and place? I would love to hear more about these powers of yours and their development."

"Professional interest. I once taught at a school for those with gifts."

"Oh."
She paused uncomfortably.
"I'm past school age..."

"One is never too old to learn," Erik replied mildly. "I'm sure my partner Charles would also be delighted to to meet you, he's a very experienced teacher to the gifted."
He hoped the mention of Charles would still bring the reassuring factor it had always had in their own time.

His part- oh, I just got Anathema Device'd.
"But the fact remains that I'd be taking a position away from a teenager-"

"Not at all, my dear girl. Selection has always been about the gift, not age."

((I'm on AIM! )) She continued to smile awkwardly, as she tended to do when put on the spot like this.

"Think about it," Erik said kindly, producing a card from the inside of his jacket and holding it out to the girl.
Rule number one, always make sure they have a way of joining you.
