And it seemed to indeed be the Professor but younger. Much younger than the man she had ever known, but she had seen photographs of him from his younger days. He was handsome, even more so in the flesh.
She blinked and immediately realized what she had done. She couldn't turn invisible but she could blend in to her surroundings, including shadows. She moved around him to flick the light switch.
No more shadows and she was standing there clear as day. Tall, dark brown wavy hair to her shoulders, and dressed in Jean's uniform. "My name is Katherine Pryde, Kitty. I'm one of your students in the future, in about fifteen years." He couldn't have been more than forty, was her guess.
He felt just like the Professor. She had shielding in place, like all of the X-Men did. Self-errected and reinforced by outside telepaths, namely the Professor and Rachel Grey.
She felt a wave of sadness and her eyes began to well with tears. "It's just really good to see you!" Time travelling 101: Don't tell people their futures, or even hint at it. But the Professor was important to her--one of her father figures when she joined and her relationship with her own father became strained. At different times in her life, she had the Professor, Logan, and Erik to look up to as her father and grandfather figures. The X-Men was her family through and through.
"I don't know how I came to be here. I went to sleep in my own bed in the mansion--where it is 2018--and now I'm here. Decidedly not my room or my time." Her phasing could let her slip through dimensions now, but she hadn't considered time.
