Heather closed her eyes and sighed. So much was going on at the time. K'8 was being annoying and then she bit her tongue... the three demons came and then....... She needed to collect her thoughts. The kitchen incident was so ridiculous to Heather. She was annoyed in general and wanted to talk to her father. Then again her mother might bother her and make her more upset; she would wait for her father to call her back. He promised he would at the end of the week.
Returning her attention back to the genetics lab, Heather collected her thoughts. "OK," she said slowly. "One of the demons went around the room and like..... would change into us. Like he ran in front of me and turned into me...." her back shivered. "It was so creepy. Umm then the others were just messing everything up and spilled milk and food and," she sighed. "I was not a good morning." Talking about the whole thing was making her irritated. However BEAST seemed to think it was necessary and therefore had to obey her teacher's orders. "So then they started disappearing, like they turned to smoke and were gone. But one of them turned into Nightcrawler but it wasn't him. It looked like someone made him into a stuffed animal and all cute looking." Describing Kurt in that way made her feel stupid again. Cute looking? God Heather can you be more retarded. She bit her lip and wondered what Dr. McCoy would think of her analysis.

Hank continued listening to the girl intently and paid extra attention to what she was saying. It still doesn't make sense. Why would it randomly turn into a replica of Kurt? As far as I know, K'8's demons as far as I know perform mischievous actions, but not predict what they do not see. Heather described that the demons each changed into each of them, because the demons saw them. But what would prompt the demon to change into Kurt if he is not present?
Dr. McCoy's brow furrowed as he thought of all the information that Heather provided him with. It still seemed like something was missing. "Tell me something Ms. McCarthy, was there anything that prompted the demons to disappear as they did? Did something offend them or scare them into leaving?" he asked, prodding the girl for more information.

"I have no idea," she said sadly with a shrug. "I mean two of them disappeared and were all smoky and stuff-- like with a big POOF, and then the last one turned into Nightcrawler..." she trailed off. How could she forget Guardian? He was the reason they started dissapearing!! "Guardian!" she said suddenly. "He was setting them on fire!!" She wanted to kick herself for forgetting something so simple.

Fire... smoke... demons... why does this sound so familiar? And then the detector went off by the piece, and its only meant for Magik.... Wait!.. Could it be? That would me they're in Limbo! Hank held up the fragment with a look of realization. "They are in Limbo! Absolutely brilliant! This explains all the unknown compounds, the life inside of it, it all comes together now!" Hank explained in wonderment and rushed over to his desk.
"I must inform Emma and Scott, this means there is a chance that Kurt and Logan are alive and in Limbo! That is why were both missing, that is why Logan's trail ended where Scott and Aideen found this. That also says why Emma couldn't locate them through Cerebra. They have to be in Limbo," Hank rambled excitedly. I have to get to Emma and let her know, we need to get them out of there! Oh bother, that means I'll have to go back. May as well plan that hot bath now, Hank thought as he began putting away his materials before he called Emma with the news.

Kevin dukted under the flailing excited limbs of the BEAST to grab another taco. He was starving after building a whole wall out of sculpted light and all of the practicing in the library for like three hours and all before that and yet the taco's, well the taco's, ahhhhh they were delicious 'got to remember to thank Aqua when I get a chance these taco's are devine!' he thought.
With cheeks gofer plumped and full of half chewed taco the tiny little effeminate boy spoke "Limbo? What do you mean?" Kevin had been raised catholic, another point of contention he had with life-but he had put it aside, so he knew all about Limbo as it was in that religion, well not all about it but enough to know you had to be dead to get there. "So he's -" he his eyes grew wide as he swallowed hard "- he's dead ?"
"Cause, cause you have to be... dead ...to get there, right? So why are you excited about that?" Kevin was confused

Sean looked a bit startled at the Doctor's outburst. Limbo... I know about that, they taught us about it in school. I think it was my Mythology teacher who told me about it... What was it again? Darn I knew I should been payin' attention to Mrs. Williams instead of Michelle Roberts, he thought, trying to remember his lessons.
"Ain't Limbo the place that's supposed to be the line between life and death? At least that's what I think it is from school," Sean said as he looked to the excited Doctor as he tried to get his thoughts straight. I wonder what all this is gonna lead to..

Heather's eyes widened as she heard BEAST's reaction and Sean's definition. A line between life and death? How is that even possible? But obviously in this world, anything was at this point.
She waited for BEAST to explain further of the current situation. There was nothing more she could say or do anyway. However she couldn't help but think about what Ms. Frost would say when she found out about the kitchen....

"You guys are soooo stuck on stupid!" Haven said as she stood up and pushed her plate over at the hungry little guy. "Beast just said they're alive, and that this dohickey is picking up on a type of power signature...a 'Balance of Energy' he said... from Limbo, right Dr McCoy?" she had felt her force field returning and now felt a little bit more capable and able to voice her true opinions. If there was gonna be any repercussions from what she said her powers would certainly need to be working for her to deal with that.
"So I'm guessing that was where miss Magik got her powers from, or she could like tap into that place or something? I'm wondering why those bombs were designed to involve Limbo? All I wanted was to kill that annoying freakshow Jumper and put Ms. Frost in her bitchy place. I never asked 'father' for anybody to go to Limbo." Niki was wondering how she was going to get out of here if things suddenly turned nasty, hopefully BEAST wouldn't let that happen. None the less she checked her path to the hallway and saw that one of the kids had left, but there was still three of them in her way.

Hank was too distracted to even take the time to scold Haven for her tone with the others. Oh my stars and garters, they must be alive! We must get them out and soon. What to do first though? I will have to get word to Emma and Scott of course, but if Emma knows Scott will since they do share a psychic connection. Aideen! I'm sure this news will make her slip right back into her old self. Surely she would do anything to save Logan and her leader. That is unless her mind already fell into the defensive state... No I mustn't think of that now. I wonder if Emma is in her office... I could call her, it would be much quicker... His thoughts where in overdrive as he heard all the children give their two cents into the revelation he just had.
"Yes Haven, you are quite right, that is where Magik came to possess her powers. It all fits," Hank said before another thought occurred to him as he looked down at the young girl. "Haven I must ask you, do you have any idea why Magneto would want to send the school to Limbo? I know you weren't aware of it for Emma would have known, but do you have even the faintest idea as to why he would want to?" he asked her, not trusting Magneto in the least bit. He had encountered his tricks and schemes time and time again.

Whoever that Jumper guy is musta really got her mad. She seems sad she didn't kill him. Ms. Frost my mom said was awfully nice on the phone. And my ma is a good judge of character, Sean thought as he listened to the girl and the good Doctor.
I guess it musta all been pretty hard grudge that she had. No wonder there seems to be an off balance around here. I wonder how you get in to Limbo? he thought, but saved his question till the Doctor finished questioning Haven.

"He didn't really tell me that kind of stuff. He mostly would speak of how enlightened I was for leaving here and how he would bring about a utopia for mutant kind and how much he wanted to put the humans in their place. How their place should be beneath us and any mutants who didn't want to join him would be forced down on their knees to grovel with the humans for scraps at our table." She looked at Beast as she talked and a look flashed in her eyes, like she really thought that would be a good idea. She seemed to take on an air of superiority , like she was above everyone in the room, that was what 'Father' told her and she liked it.
"I do sorta remember hearing him say something to that scum ass Sabertooth. He was passing by my room in the hall one night about a week ago, before Sabertooth came into my room for my nightly lessons-" at the word her face twisted with disgust "-and I remember 'Father', uh Magneto said a 'special friend' had promised him a way to take- what was it he said, oh yeah 'to take the whole of the Xavier brood out of the picture' and something about a 'pact signed in blood', but he sometimes talked funny like that so I just thought he meant to kill everyone."
She glanced around at the others in the room her eyes darting quickly so as not to make eye contact with anyone. She didn't know why she felt so ashamed now, and she didn't like the twisting feeling in her guts. 'Why am I confused, they are beneath me. 'Father' said so, why do I feel bad about wanting to help him, wanting to kill them all? What is wrong with me? Am I losing my edge?' she thought as she started to breathe quicker and quicker, near the point of hyperventilating.

Wow, this girl really has problems. It was the conclusion that Heather made of Haven. It was simple and down to the point. Obviously, Heather knew nothing of Haven and her past, however that shouldn't make her such a hateful person. She was rude and arrogant and just plain awful. However not speaking to her was the mature thing to do, and just left her thoughts to herself.
Hearing about Magneto and his "recruitment" tactics, showed how gullible some people were. In Heather's opinion, all human beings were equal; homo-sapian and homo-superior alike. After the attack from The Brotherhood, Heather made the conclusion that they were pure evil and just not good people; that and Magneto was a total NUT.
Smelling the tacos, she shrugged and took one for herself. She was beginning to feel the annoying grumble in her stomach and needed to have her breakfast that was so rudely interrupted. "Is it OK I take one?" she asked BEAST softly. She felt that coming between his conversation with Haven was a bad mood... but nature calls.

Sean passed the taco on the plate toward Heather, having lost his appetite with all the stuff that happened. "Here ya go lHeather, you can have mine," he offered to her with a slight smile. He looked at the girl with the white hair for a second feeling a bit sorry for her. I feel real bad for her, I wish I could comfort her somehow. Oh wait, mama used to do this to Marie whenever she started to hyperventilate, he thought as he rummaged through his pockets until he found a clean rumpled handkerchief his mother scented with some of them calming plants like lavender and chamomile. "Here Little lady, just breathe into this. That should help calm ye down a bit and with your breathing," Sean said in the kindest voice he could and handed her the handkerchief. He hated to see a girl in distress, it went against everything his mom taught him.
The device that went off caught his eye, mainly cause it looked a bit beat up and broken. The repairman in him was drawn to it. Carefully, Sean picked it up and looked at it very carefully to try and see how he could fix it. "Doctor, I think this little do-hickey here is a bit beaten up. I bet I could make it as good as new, or at least get it to work a bit better," he said as his head already shaped the idea of how he could fix it. Hopefully it will work if he was allowed to try.

She started to reach out to take it and then stopped. She looked at the kid square in the eyes panting as she spoke she said "A - snot - rag? I don't - think -- so - billybob." As he handed it over to her anyway her forcefield prevented her from being able to touch it, or use it to help herself in any way.
It sat there above her hand resting on the forcefield for a moment until she sat back and it slid off to float down and land on the floor. It was sort of a shame that she couldn't have at least felt the texture of the fabric, but that was what her power was, a shell that kept the world at bay.

Hank looked over at the interaction with Haven and Sean, shaking his head. The boy will learn soon enough. This miscreant here isn't one to appreciate gentlemanly acts, he thought before his eyes flew to that old device that Kitty constructed all those years ago. The wheels in his head began spinning. If that Geiger was the key to figuring out that Kurt and Logan are in Limbo... than perhaps it is the key to getting into Limbo! I know from before how sensitive devices that link an alternative universe can be, perhaps with TuneUP's ability, he might be able to turn it into the key to get into Limbo! But it cannot be done with just the wielding of the instrument... "Yes, Sean please do fiddle with it a bit. In fact, I propose a challenge for you. If you were to make that into a key or puzzle of some sort to get into another universe, how do you envision it? If you break it though, do put it back together," Dr. McCoy said excitedly before he went across the room and took out his notes.
I must let Emma know... Hank thought before he spoke as he looked for his notes on Limbo. "One of you children... Hardlight! If you could please go find Ms. Frost and have her come see me as soon as possible. Tell her it is urgent, and she must know what we discovered," he called and then began mumbling to himself as he looked through his notes.
