Even though they lived in what was considered 'Michigan', they were so far removed from reality, that taking a trip anywhere would mean days of traveling, not just the mere hours that a regular map would suggest. Ocean understood the concern. It was like that with the University versus The Underground. Walking to and from took several hours, even though you could see the two entities and they looked relatively close. The city leaders did it for protection, the university students were the future and protecting them was important. Protecting the mutants themselves was important. Some X-Mutant's lived in the real world, but those who couldn't, those who didn't look like a normal, every day person, they had to live in the Underground or risk certain problems, such as death.

Ocean finally nodded his head "We could invite them here. I don't mind that..." He stated quietly, going over to the window now that they were in the apartment. He leaned against it and sighed, staring out over the city "I've never been out of the city anyway. I fear that leaving would be bad, honestly. I'm not normal looking, not like you or your folks. My hair, my eyes, the slightly blue tint to my skin... I would be spotted within seconds and we would both be in a lot of trouble. Not to mention, you're pregnant. If any person saw that, we would be in so much shit, and I'm not sure I could protect you out there, not without other's like us to help along the effort..." He was good, but he was not great. He couldn't protect Desmond in what was considered "the wild".
