Sara felt somewhat relieved when she heard Ms. Frost say that she would make sure Amos was taken care of. Maybe once they were done here she could talk to her privately about his food and maybe even getting him into class with the other small children. It would make sure he was not alone in the barn while Sara was in class, something that would be very bad for a baby, and that he would start to learn much faster than if Sara had to teach him everything herself.

K'8 listened to all of the voices in the room, Sara's, Kitty's and especially Emma's. She tried to slow her breathing and stop crying as she heard the words of the headmistress and let them sink into her heart.
'What did she mean? How many people did she know who'd died? How dangerous is it to be a mutant in this awful world?' Katie wondered. 'Wow, she looked so sad when she spoke of her lost students, I wonder if she'd really miss me? I don't think anyone would miss me, not really anyway.' She thought continuing to convince herself that she was worthless.
"Uh, well I'm pretty sure that my demons didn't lie to me and we all saw the little Nightcrawler form that Mr. Putty-man shaped himself into. I think that he's there with them, and they said they're from Limbo so, that pretty much is the whole story." Katie said. "What else is there to say?" she shrugged her shoulders as she wiped her eyes with her hands. "I really don't know any more Ms. Frost, I'm sorry."

Hearing the telepathic message sent by Emma, Kitty glanced at her and nodded, looking back to the girls as she began to speak, watching how they’d react. Emma couldn’t have put it any better, and Kitty hoped that it would help k’8 to feel better, if even a little. She herself would’ve tried to say something, but she was a bit wound up and distressed from all that had happened in the span of merely two days.
As k’8 spoke, she nodded in agreement with what she had said, and couldn’t help but continue to look concerned about her charge even after the girl wiped her eyes and shrugged it off. “It’s okay, k’8, even with that, we figured out a lot, thanks to you,” she said, giving her a comforting smile as she said she couldn’t say any more.
While waiting for someone else to speak after her, she looked to the door of the rec room, thinking that she was hearing something; talking. Listening a little closer to the sounds coming from outside of where they were, she could pick out at least two different voices coming into earshot. “Erm, I know this is the slightest bit off topic, but I think there are some people out there. I hear people that aren’t us talking,” she observed aloud, looking to Emma, who she was sure could hear as well and could maybe recognize who they were.

In the Foyer....
Gina looked down on the little fella as he got closer and chuckled. "Well alright then 'Hardlight' it is. My codename's Decibel, I'm one of Ms. Frost's Hellions. Whose team ya on Hardlight?" she asked.
Then she heard Emma's and Kitty's voices and said "Tell me as we walk I have to check in with my Team Leader." She slapped a hand down on Kevin's shoulder and pulled him alongside her. "I think I hear her voice, and Ms. Frost isn't one to be lenient when it comes to a standing order. 'When you get back - check in with your Team Leader immediately' she said to us all before she turned us lose on the winter break." Decibel smiled as she looked down on the little guy walking with him and leading him to the sound of the voices in the Rec-room.

"Oh, I'm on" he paused and then his voice droppd down and as he said "Colossus's team" he sighed heavily. "I like my Team, but I don't feel like one of the Acolytes, like Colossus doesn't like me. He yells at me alot and reminds me of my dad who hates me." He looked up at her and skrunched up his nose when he said "Is that too much information?"
When her hand slapped down Kevin winced a bittle lit and he lost a step, he wasn't used to physical contact and it kinda hurt even though he knew she wasn't trying to hurt him, was she? He quick stepped to catch up to her stride as she told about being one of Emma's Hellions and having to check in with her.
He remembered why he was up here and away from TuneUp and said "Oh, I have to tell her something too let's hurry!" he started to walk quicker than her because he wanted to get back downstairs fast.

"It's maybe more than you should say to a stranger, but that's cool Kev, uh Hardlight. It sometimes takes a little while for our parents to come to grips with our bein' mutants and all, so you should give your dad a chance." She smiled at him, she felt kind of bad about slapping him since he reacted to it like she had hurt him.
"As for Colossus, what do you mean he yells at you? I never knew him to stress a little guy like that, he was always the coolest teacher, boy things musta gotten really rough here while we were on winter break huh?" Gina felt him start to pull her as he said he had to talk with Emma so she stepped up her pace.

"Oh my dad is not upset about me being a mutant, well he is but he's more upset that, uh nevermind, like you said too much to tell a stranger." Kevin smiled upat Decibel and then the two of them got to the rec room and Kevin looked in.
"There she is." he said as he went to run in and tell Emma that Beast needed her, but he felt like he was really intruding. He turned and whispered to her very softly "Colossus and me will just have to work through it I guess." He sighed again and confessed "I might be being a bit sensitive, but he's beein' a dick lately."

Seeing the two teachers and two young girls sitting in somewhat of awkward poses reminded Decibel of times when she was being 'talked to' by Emma when she was younger, although she wished she had had Kitty Pryde there to protect her from her teacher.
At that time in her life Emma was known exclusively as "the White Queen" and was one of the Hellfire Club and a high ranking member at that. She was not one to piss off and would show no quarter to those students of hers that broke protocol.
'Damn these little bitches are lucky to have Kitty!' she thought 'They musta done some serious shit!'
Standing in the doorway was not her style so she very audibly cleared her throat *A'HEM* and made eye contact with her superior, her mentor, the woman who had trained her to kill. "I'm back from break Boss Lady." she said to Emma, and with a glance at Kitty and said "Hey Shadowkat, good to see ya, I was just gonna take some hot chocolate out to yer beau. That is" her eyes flicked back to her Team Leader "unless you have anything for me?"

Distracted at a most crucial moment Emma looked to the doorway where Kevin and Gina stood. "Impeccable timing as always Decibel." Emma said sarcastically "Give us a moment." she said holding up her index finger.
Turning back to Katie she said "I believe you that you've told us everything, and I would like to have Beast run a few tests on your blood. I think we have a lot to learn about your power and your little friends, if they do in fact come from Limbo then I think we need to know for sure."
She smiled at k'8 hoping to give her a glimmer of kindness and she turned back to the doorway and said "Thank you for checking in Gina. And no, there's nothing at this time that I need you to do... but stay sharp. Practice in the morning for the Hellions is at 6 am, make sure the rest of your team knows about it."
Winter break was coming to an end and Emma always required her team, the 'Hellions', to get back to school a day early in order to get first crack at the Danger Room. It was an in-house rivalry that she and Scott liked to cultivate between their teams in order to keep them at their best. Competition had a way of 'honing the edge of the blade' as Logan might say and to that end Scott and Emma allowed rather a lot of latitude when it came to the rivalry, although sometimes it did get out of hand.

As Emma turned to who had shown up at the doorway to the rec room, Kitty did too and turned to see the little Acolyte Hardlight peeking in as she saw one of the older students, Gina, come in and speak to them both. At being regarded after Emma spoke to k'8, Kitty nodded to the older girl with a smile, "Hello Decibel, it's good to see you too, I hope your vacation was good," she greeted, and then nodded again at the mention of her task, "Oh, good, I'm sure he'll love that," she answered with another smile. She had remembered briefly glancing outside to see Colossus cleaning up a bit in the front, and was sure some hot chocolate would be good after some work that was less than fun.
Looking back to k'8, she spoke in accordance with Emma's words, "Yes, it's okay k'8. You've done a good job of telling us all you know - it's all important in accordance with how we'll find Wolverine and Nightcrawler, and you've been a good help," she put in with an encouraging smile. After today, Kitty found herself very curious to learn more of k'8's abilities. She wondered how they worked, and if her blood really could draw a demon or two from Limbo of all places.

Meanwhile in the foyer....
Veronika walked into the mansion after Dazzler and looked around. Not too bad. My house is better. It could use a more updated look though. At least its clean and looks better than that wreck outside she thought as she glanced behind her at Vladimir. He stood behind her as usual and surveyed the area carefully. "<It is acceptable from the outlook Veronika, as your father said it would be,>" he said to her quietly.
She sniffed and tossed her hair again as she looked around the large room and the doors on the side. "Is it usually this empty? I thought there were a lot of kids in this school? And where is the person Emma Frost you said who is in charge?" Veronika asked in her sweetest voice, wanting to keep up the good impression she had on the celebrity.

Allison's melodious laughter echoed through the foyer. "Darlin' this place got more life than any concert or carnival you'll ever go to. My guess is that not everyone is back from the break yet," she said looking around with a big smile. Wow I never remember this place being so quiet. Last time I was here I nearly got trampled by some kids playing tag. And no screaming or shrieking from the East Wing, means the girls aren't all back yet. I don't hear any shouting and hear loud music or objects breaking at the North Wing. Yup definitely still out. Emma and Scott gotta' be loving the quiet.
Ali walked around around the foyer smiling at the feeling of being back in a place she felt safe. "Emma probably knows we're here darlin', but just in case..." Allison took off her sunglasses and grinned. "Hey, ain't anyone gonna come and say hi? The Dazzler has arrived and the party can start!" She shouted, her clear harmonious voice ringing out in the mansion. That should get their attention. C'mon I know Em's gotta know I'm here. Wonder if Kitty's still around? And I just gotta see Kurt and Hank. Hope Hank's doing alright... Allison thought as she laughed again.
"Trust me Veronika darlin' you'll have a good deal of fun here. There's rarely a dull moment around here," she said winking at the redhead and her big bodyguard. I should get me one of those bodyguards. Except I think I'd like myself to have one with hair... and more fitted clothes. That would be really nice.

When Kevin heard the name of Beast he suddenly remembred what he was here to do "Um, excuse me Miss Frost?" he said his voice rising up at the end like a quetsion.
"I was sent up to find you and ask you to come down to the genetic lab by Beast. He said it realy loud so I know he was serious and he was! He said to tell you-" he paused as he heard a voice calling out in the foyer where he was just was with Decibel, then he quickly added " -it's urgent."

(Again, back in the foyer......)
Tracy felt the bubbly excitement of Dazzler, and the seemingly confused and confusing swirl of emotions emanating from this new girl and her cadre of helpers. Tracy wasn't sure exactly who or what they were, but they looked like something out of a movie, a bad movie from the eighties. The way they had a slight disdain swirled with exasperation led her to believe they were with the girl who was emanating a feeling of aloof control and disgust. All save for one of the men seemed to be underlings, their churning emotions held in check by an overriding sensation of greed made Tracy believe the girl must be something akin to royalty, the odd man out was motivated by a sense she could best describe as honor and paternal concern with a dull hum of melancholy in the background. 'He feels like her father, yet looks like a body guard,' she thought ' boy-o he's gonna miss her. Bet he doesn't even know how much yet.'
With a rushed step she hurried up from the doorway to the library saying "Allison! How have you been! Oh my gawd I loved the movie. Did you just get here?" she smiled at everybody and said "Welcome to the Xavier Institute, hope you'll excuse the repairs. The winters can be so rough on a place." she looked over at Dazzler and winked.

Veronika looked at Dazzler with starstruck eyes as she yelled out her arrival. Ah to be a celebrity... she looks like she belongs in every room she walks into. I think I shall become one. Perhaps a model... or an actress... I would look wonderful on a billboard. Papa can set it up, she thought as she giggled at Dazzler's display. She looked back at her bodyguard who kept the stoic face, not even a smile twitched at the display. "<Vladimir is she not amazing? I'd make a perfect star don't you think?">" she asked him with dreamy eyes at the idea.
Vladimir kept his eyes straight ahead and answered promptly. "<Of course Miss Veronika.>" Just then another girl came down, whom Vladimir studied and surveyed trying to size up her character. Meanwhile Veronika rolled her eyes before she took off her sunglasses and kept up the charming image. At least this one doesn't look like a homeless person. Her mannerisms aren't that of a peasant either. Perhaps there is hope for this school. She smiled charmingly, keeping her angelic image. "Hallo, I am Veronika Kudinov," she said in a sugary sweet voice. I hope that woman in charge comes already. I would like to get settled before Gucci introduces their new line, she thought in disdain as she kept up the angelic appearance.
