Cyclops had called for everybody to join him in the Hangar, he needed to talk to everyone. He truly wanted to talk with everybody, not talk to them, or at them, but with them and they would no doubt all be wanting to talk as well he thought. The best place to call everyone together was the underground Hangar. There were far too many to fit in the Med-Lab now.
It was spacious, the dark gunmetal colored walls were thick and the sound acoustics were good so no one would have to strain themselves to be heard. The Brotherhood attack would no doubt have left everyone worried and confused, or worse yet wanting to leave and questioning their very reason for being at this school. He had to let them see him for the caring protector he was, even though he'd been unaware there was need for his protection. This was a devious attempt by Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, to destroy the children that might one day fight against them, and also to test the depths of our ranks and our defenses at such a vulnerable time.
It was hardly a happy start to an education, but it was certainly a unifying event. One that would stick in each of their minds for years to come.

Eva, with a summon from a man she had never met named Cyclops or something, reluctantly got up from her haven in the old stable. A small wolfish growl emanated from her lips. She tended to be a defiant person but when those of a superior rank called, it was her that must obey. With a cold determination to say nothing she trudged down the snow covered path. To the hanger? Where on earth was the hanger? She took a crumpled map out of her hoodie pocket, smoothing out the wrinkles so she could decipher what the map said. With a resigned sigh she took the path that looked like it went to the hanger.
She eventually found her way to the underground hanger with a disgruntled sigh. She wanted niether to be a mutant or in this little hell hole to which she was called. She wrinkled her nose at the feeling of having so much weight above her head. Her eyes moved to the man she assumed to be Cyclops. She twitched her head in a respectful manner then moved into a shadowy corner, her breathing quick and her senses alert. Being underground made her feel uneasy as the ever present reassurance of the moon and sky was gone and replaced by a man made darkness. She found herself crouching some what wolf like, hackles raised, like a wolf was super imposed with her, sharing the same space. Her mind moved away from the man's presence, although keeping it still in range and her eyes flickered into the dark corners as a beast entered on who she was.

Lorelai had finished getting dressed when she decided to try to go for a walk, and then heard about a message from Cyclops saying for everyone to go to the Hangar to see him. "Ok," she said to no one, and slowly walked out of her dorm to look for the hangar. It only took her a minute to remember it was all on the underground floor, the med lab, the Danger Room, and the Hangar, the one place she hadn't gone near. With a bit of a sigh, she made her way down, being careful on sore legs that only slightly improved.
Finding the hangar easily enough, she walked in and looked around at how large it was. Surely enough to fit everyone in there, and in seeing Cyclops, she waved a little and found a nearby wall to lean on, waiting for Ian or someone else besides a girl she didn't know yet to come join her in waiting to see what their headmaster had to say.

Ian walked into the Hanger, freshly showered with a big grin on his face. Despite the fact that they just went through a very brutal attack by the Brotherhood as he learned they were called and nearly had the school blown up, he was in a relatively good mood. Lorelai did have something to do with it, but for the most part he was just happy about life. Everyone was still alive and for the most part well, besides the few injuries.
He walked into the big sparse Hanger, looking around and marveling the big spacious interior. Ian's eyes lit up when he spotted Lorelai, all clean from the attack, already there. He looked over at Cyclops and grinned widely. "Hey there Sir, diggin' the set up in here. Radical plane man," he said admiring the Blackbird, which he had only heard about. There were other knarly vehicles around and they all looked high tech.
Ian wrapped his arm gently around Lorelai's waist. "Hey there Pipsqueek. You doing alright?" he said in her ear. He carefully picked her up and set her down on a high nearby crate. Ian grinned big up at her, he couldn't help his really good mood, even though they were going to talk about a grave situation.

After wandering around the school for a bit, Aideen ran into Cyclops and was told to come into the Hanger. She quite honestly did not want to go and talk about anything that has happened, but She would never refuse a request from her Superior. Still dressed in the same warm black fitted turtleneck and warm fitted jeans with her black boots, Aideen walked into the Hanger, noticing Ian and Lorelai already there and looking rather cozy. It's about damn time those two got together. With her sharp observant dark eyes, she spied another girl who she remembered seeing after the battle sitting in the shadows. That seemed like a good idea.
Aideen nodded to Cyclops in acknowledgment and then turned to look at the large plane. Nice. Very sleek and well cared for. Aideen refused to look Ian or Lorelai in the eye and just walked over to a large storage bin of some sort in the shadows. With a bit of difficulty, Aideen pulled herself up on it and moved out of plain sight and into the shadows, sitting with one knee up and the other leg straight out. She rested on arm on her knee and the other one across her stomach. She didn't plan on saying anything about what happened with her and planned on just listening to everyone else talk. But she did need to come up with a simple explanation if she was asked anything.
Her heart felt too heavy to be here. She didn't want to be around people and most of all not around the teachers. Aideen felt to ashamed and when she looked at the teachers, even just looking at Cyclops up there then, she knew Logan wouldn't be there and that did nothing more than tighten the heavy chains around her heart. She really would rather be alone.

Heather entered the hangar of the sub-basement and sighed. The discussion that Cyclops wanted to have with her and the others was not going to be a pleasant one. She stopped walking however when she saw the massive plane that she assumed was the Blackbird. It was a marvelous machine and like nothing she had ever seen before.
She walked to the gathering students and nodded to Cyclops. "Hello sir," she said softly. She spotted a girl she never saw before and Aideen on a storage bin. Ian and Lorelai were together, as usual and Lorelai was also on a storage box. Heather for some reason felt different seeing them two together at this particular moment. They seemed more "cozy" than usual. She kept her distance of the two for now, since the reason they were there was not a happy one. Heather sat down and leaned against a storage bin opposite Cyclops was standing. She brought her knees to her chest and rested her head on them as she waited for the meeting to begin.

Lorelai turned her head as she heard someone come in, and smirked when she saw it was Ian, and rolled her eyes when he complimented the hangar, so typical of him to do that, she thought with a little laugh. She looked at Ian with a smile as he wrapped an arm around her waist and giggled when he spoke in her ear. "Hey," she said, and then nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright. I feel better, all clean and stuff, You?" she said with a little laugh as he lifted her up onto a crate. She saw Aideen come in and couldn't help but let her smile fade. She looked sad as she walked into a secluded area in the shadows.

'Hello everyone' Lian said, by way of announcing her arrival. She moved over to see Aideen and Heather, though she couldn't see Jumper anywhere yet. She could maybe do with branching out a little and making some new friends though. She wondered what the meeting was going to be about. She knew that the Brotherhood had made an attack on the Institute and nearly everyone had been affected by it. She hoped it wouldn't happen again. She didn't feel that they had had enough training as teams to be fighting in such a manner.

Skyler usually wasn't a nervous person at all, she was outgoing and loud but this was an acception. Not only had to nearly gotten lost once more trying to find the Hanger but looking around at all the people she realized how lonely she was. If only there was just one person she knew she wouldn't be so uncomfortable but she didn't see anyone and she hadn't really met anyone either.
Not liking this situation that she had been put in, not knowing anyone and going into a school that seemed more like an army than an education center, Sky bit her lip. Deciding she needed to focus on whatever Scott needed to say she turned her attention to him but backed away from the others into a corner of the room. She could listen fine from here.

Lian saw a girl she didn't know come in. She looked a little at a loss as to what was going on. Must be a new student, Lian mused. 'Hey' she said, 'My name's Lian' She smiled encouragingly, as she knew she could come across as being quite distant and anti-social. She knew they all had to pull together after what had happened. Friendship would make them a stronger team. 'I'm a Paragon, have you been assigned to a team yet?' She asked.

Ian grinned up at her crookedly at Lorelai. "Well its good to know you don't smell anymore Pipsqueek," he said with a goody grin. He knew he would probably get hit but it was so worth it. He leaned his arms on either side of her on the crate and looked up at her. "I'd kiss you right now, but I don't think Teach there would appreciate it," he whispered. "But hey look on the bright side babe, for once I'm lookin' up at you," Ian added with a smirk.
The smile on his face faltered a bit when Aideen walked in. Man she looked out of it. Instead of being her usual stony and indifferent self, she looked totally shattered and broken. He wondered what did happen out there in the forest with the giant tiger dude and even more so what happened before she ran into the courtyard from the woods. Whatever it was it messed her up good. She barely looked at anyone as she came in.
Ian looked up at Lorelai with a grim smile. "Spitfire doesn't look too good huh?" he whispered to her quietly.

Lurai walked into the hanger with her head down. The message she recieved from the man known as Cyclops was gifted with his scent, so she just followed it down to the depths of the school to find a big giant empty room filled with a giant metal object. Metal, she would never like such an object for the rest of her life. Barefoot she walked over to the wall where she leaned against the wall and sat with her legs pulled to her body. She was not in the mood to be around people, she wanted to go back to the lake and be by herself again. Most of all she didn't want to see Riker, she knew what would happen if she did. She'd get second thoughts, but her mind was already made up. Her choices were clear and she made the decision.

Skyler looked up when someone addressed her and felt a friendly, yet awkward, smile appear on her face. Atleast someone was noticing her and she felt good about that. "I'm Sky," She replied as she moved off the wall she was leaning on. Her confidence was boosted slightly and she felt slightly comfortable now that she had not only met someone knew, but someone from the same team. "I'm a paragon as well but to be honest I'm really lost about everything. Were you like that when you first came here?"

'Not particularly, I'm used to moving around quite a lot, and everyone here was really friendly' Well thought Lian, Nearly everyone[/]. 'Don't worry, you'll get used to it in no time. I can introduce you to a couple people if you want' she offered.

People were chatting all around them and Sky wanted nothing more than to find out what was going on, who the Brotherhood really was and why this school was more like a training faciliaty. However, Scott hadn't started speaking yet so she guessed it would be alright if she joined in with speaking with others.
She was skeptical at Lian's words, she hadn't gotten used to anything yet, not even her own code name which had slipped her mind quite a few times already. "Er... Sure?" She replied uncertaintly. Never was she this uncomfortable but then never had she been put into a place where everything she knew had been confused. "How long have you been here anyways?"
