Hangar Gathering

[Decay]

Skyler almost laughed at his lingo, not to make fun of it but because he sounded like he was taken right off the California beach. It amused her slightly yet it was very interesting how all these different people could come together as one all because they were different.

She noticed his hand hold Lorelai's and couldn't help but smile at the two. She had only known them for a few minutes but the two of them seemed to mesh very well. Ian made her feel relaxed with his easy smiles and Lorelai made her feel welcome by inviting her over. Putting her hands into her jean pockets she glanced around at the place once more. "So where are you two from?" She asked.

[Colossus]

Colossus walked into the Hanger and started to take names of everyone here so far. Writing on his clip board the team names and those of each team. "Hello everyone. How are we all doing today?"

[Fleet]

Jumper wasn't in the room, and then all of a sudden he was. There were a lot of students here now as he looked over them all. He noticed Frostbite and Diesel and just chuckled to himself and nodded. Then he walked around and decided to play it quiet for now. He was unsure why everone was called here. So he dialed himself down to normal and walked over to a large crate and hopped up on it taking a seat. His blue eyes just watching. He saw Lurai and she looked much better, and her brother was here as well. That should have ade her feel better. Jumper was unsure how the last fight had effected everyone, and he didn't want to upset anyone by being his usual cocky self.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker stared oddly at Torri as she walked away from him with a hesitance about her that made Riker wonder if she actually thought he'd break her legs. He shook his head thinking she needed some time alone. He walked over to his sister who looked pretty banged up. He smiled at her. "Hey squirt long time no see, you doing okay, I was worried about you there in that battle, you get to excited sometimes when it comes to fighting" he said taking a seat next to her and putting his arm around her lightly to make sure he didn't hurt her.

[Puppy~Love]

Lurai looked to her brother before standing up moving his arm from her shoulder. "I'm sorry Riker, I can't do this right now. Don't follow me. Please" she said simply walking away from Riker and over to a different side of the area, one shrouded in shadow. She looked over to her brother feeling tears come to her eyes. She knew if she asked he'd leave her alone but he wouldn't be happy about it. She pulled her legs to her body and wrapped herself in a ball and started to cry into her legs silently. Hiding her pain from all in the darkness.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai smirked back at Ian; it seemed they had similar thoughts. Well, the saying does go, ‘Great minds think alike’ for a reason. She looked to Sky and smiled. “So your codename is Decay? What is your ability then? Do you make things rot or something?” she asked, curious about it. She thought it was cool to have a power that, to her, didn’t seem so common, whatever it was, though she could tell it had to do with decaying, like one could just tell that ‘Frostbite’ had to do with ice.

She heard that Sky was on the Paragons, and she hoped that would end well, knowing how Aideen reacted toward people, even her own teammates. She listened as Ian continued to speak to Sky with a smile. “He’s right, we may have enemies, but that’s why we stick together. And the teachers are awesome,” she said, feeling his hand take hers and link their fingers together. She looked at him with a smile and lightly squeezed his hand. She was glad she ended up saying something to him; she was happy it had turned out as she had hoped.

Looking back to Sky, she answered, “I’m from Boston. Born and raised there.” Mentioning Boston reminded her of where she used to live, her old friends who now feared her because they were closed-minded about the idea of mutants, her house, her parents. She couldn’t help but miss it all, but here she was happy, it was a new home in a place full of people like her, and she had friends here, and she had Ian. She turned her head as she heard and saw Colossus and then Jumper come in, and saw that Riker brought in Torri. Good, she was alright.

As Sky went over to talk to some other people, Lian shrugged and went over to talk to Heather.
'Hey,' she said, 'Do you know what we're meant to be here for yet?' She looked around the room. Nothing much seemed to be happening yet, so she stood and waited, balancing her weight on one leg.

Heather looked up to Lian. "Hey," she said with a smile. "Yeah it was about the attack today. Where were you during?" she said concerned. She didn't remember seeing Lian during the fight in the courtyard and she didn't know if Ms. Frost or Cyclops informed the students to go anywhere for safety. Obviously they didn't since Lian didn't even understand why they were all there in the first place. Heather patted the space next to her, asking Lian to sit down.

She scanned the room as more people came in. She noticed a blond girl with Ian and Lorelai. She also noticed them holding hands. So that was it. They were together and it was official. Heather frowned and looked to the floor. She blew her chance with Ian and she had to deal with it. But why Lorelai of all people? She could feel her rage inside her begin to boil, however didn't allow it to control her. Heather then looked away to the entrance of the hangar room and noticed Jumper come in. She winced as he entered and couldn't believe that he was right about Ian all along. But then again, was he?

She bit her lip and looked back to Lian waiting for her response.

[Katana]

Leah and Guardian walked in. Guardian had held up his promise and helped her to the large hanger. She looked at the sleek plane and she let out a slow whistle, 'Wow, this place knows how to spend money'.
She moved to sit down and looked away from the Blackbird; immediately she noticed the blue haired girl. This made her nervous and she looked quickly away. She wanted to get this awkward burden of the gratitude of her chest, she normally didn't owe anyone anything.
But she looked up at guardian, 'I'm trying to change, I mean, I promised myself I would.....This is supposed to be my second chance....to be and do the right thing.' She smiled and looked at cyclops and waited for the meeting to start.

[Fleet]

Jumper was egtting anxious as he tried to sit still. That never worked for him. He kept looking around and for once he just watched. He could tell Lorelai and Ian were together. And the way Guardian and Katana walked in they were getting close. Jumper also did not miss the look from Aqua to the new couple and then how she avoided Jumpers gaze. He tried to tell her, and he wasn't trying to be mean back then. He just called it like he saw it. And was honest. But he would not force Aqua to talk to him. He noticed Ember had seemed to close up and not want to be bothered, as well as Lurai. This room was certainly bumming him out. Shrugging he reached to his left hand and "dialed" himself up. He was gone in a blur and then back just as fast. Holding a six pack of bottled water and a bag of pop corn. He figured he would much while he watched the Drama building. He still could not explain why none of this bothered him. The fight, the almost getting blown up. All the injuries. He just could not grasp the severity of it all. But he did notice how it weighed on the others. All he could do was shrug and hope someone would open up again, or else he would have to become a pain in the ass to everyone. And no one wanted that. The wheels were already turning in his head.

[Puppy~Love]

Lurai pulled her head from her laugh hiding the tears that she shed as she sniffed the air. The potent smell of a treat tantalized her senses. She looked up to see Jumper sitting off by himself with a bag of the popcorn. She used the wall to push herself up, breathing heavily, not realizing really how tired she was. It was okay though, she could move, and that's all that matters. She walked over to him ignoring all those around her and staring at the bag. "Hello Jumper" she said in a soft voice, her accent swirling with her quiet tone making her sound very passive, something Lurai was not. "Would it be alright if I had some?" she asked politely as she stared at the delicious food that he himself had introduced to her.

[Fleet]

Jumper was taking a long drink of water as he noticed Lurai approach. She seemed very timid at the moment and hearing her he nodded and patte the crate. "You are more then welcome to join me. You want somethign to drink too? I brought extra. You know how I make the girls drool over me. " he chuckled and winked as he joked. Offering her the bag of pop corn he rested back against the wall. "So how are you feeling? I see your up and moving, so thats a start."

[Puppy~Love]

Lurai nodded as she sat next to the boy and took a handful of the popcorn putting a piece at a time in her mouth. "Thank you I would like a drink" she said formally looking at the food in her hand. Her eyes glued to the ground. She didn't really want to look at anyone right now. Part of her really enjoyed being around Jumper as he over the top happy personality seemed somewhat infectious, but at the same time she just wanted her brother to look over and think that at least she could share with someone. She looked up at Jumper and smiled. She laughed lightly, forcing herself to look like she was having a good time. She couldn't mop around with people around her. As long as she was alone it was okay, but for now she'd put on a facade of happiness. "Tha' you do" she said her Irish accent muffled with the popcorn in her mouth. "Don' really know how they resis'."

[Fleet]

Now if anyone had been around Jumper long enough, they knew he always had a way to know when people weren't being genuine about how they felt. Handing Lurai a bottle of water and looking over to her. He leaned in and whispered with a smile stil on his lips. "You know Lurai, if something is bothering you, besides any pain yoru in, you can talk abou tit. You do not need ot hide it behind a smile. " Leaning back and popping more pop corn into his mouth he winked. Taking another long drink and looking around again, wondering when this meeting was gonna start.

[Guardian]

After Aleksey and Leah entered the hanger, Aleksey couldn't help but notice the giant Blackbird standing there. He pulled up a crate to let Leah sit. He looked around at how everyone talked, socialized and got closer. Aleksey hasn't been able to get close to any person after his father's death but at least he was trying.

Aleksey looked at Leah for a minute "I guess what happened today wasn't as bad as everyone thinks" he whispered to Leah. "It brought many of us closer together" he added.

Aleksey sat up on the ground like a dog with his tail pulled up in front of him and got a little closer to Leah. He sat there silently and waited for Cyclops to do what he needed.

[Katana]

"Yeah, I guess it did." She looked over at all the people talking. She had realized that the mansion wasn't the academic world she though Mutant 'academy' meant. Yet here all the students seemed normal. Like any school there was friendship, drama, and crushes.
Leah felt Guardian get close to her and she leaned her head against his muscular arm. She blushed and calmly placed her hand on his elbow. He was warm to her touch and she smiled elusively behind her black hair that fell into her face.
