Rogue offered a small smile to Scott after he asked her to come over. "Hello Cyclops," she said with a nod. She then turned to Guardian after hearing his question. Emma was right, he was someone to be cautious with, especially since she still wasn't aware of his abilities. Cyclops answered for her and Rogue smiled again. "Hello Guardian, very nice to meet you," she said with her charming southern accent. Meeting new people was something she always liked to do.
Seeing the other students, especially the one with the blue hair, made her wonder who they were. She offered them a smile, showing she was an easy person to get along with (mostly). "Hello darlins," she said softly. "Ah'm Rogue. What are yer names?"

Lorelai couldn't help but roll her eyes a bit at how unobservant Ian could sometimes be, seeing that he had missed catching the woman's name. Though, she was glad to see that he had calmed down a bit, and even sort of grinned, but the last question he posed she was curious about, too. At being spoken to by Rogue, she smiled a little again, out of respect, and answered, "I'm Lorelai, codename Frostbite."
Having answered, she turned to Ian so that he too could introduce himself; hopefully he heard what was being said this time.

Ian looked around for a vehicle or some form of travel to see how the lady named Rogue got here. Then he noticed the expectant look on his girlfriend face and gave her a slight scowl when he realized he was being monitored to act accordingly. It's not like he couldn't take care of himself or anything else, it just sometimes took him awhile to process things when he had a lot on his mind.
He turned to the new lady and gave her a slight smile. "Name's Ian, uh codename Diesel. You the new teach? I heard we were getting a couple," he said attempting to be as friendly as possible despite his uneven emotions.

Guardian stood there still wondering how she managed to fly down like that. She was by far the most interesting mutant he had met so far since coming to this school. "My name is Aleksey, codename Guardian. Nice to meet you Ms. Rogue" he said sweetly. "You flew here, you flew here without wings, or vehicle of any kind, is that your gift?" Guardian asked with great interest.

Nodding with a slight curtsy, Rogue was appreciative of the students not giving her trouble. Unfortunately they seemed to be quite the bunch this year. The kitchen being destroyed was definitely something to not be happy about. "Well it is very nice to meet you Lorelai, Ian and Aleksey," she said warmly. She looked to Scott, thinking about when they were kids. Time sure did fly fast, and yes so many things occurred of the years; she still considered it amazing how far they have gone.
Looking back to the students, Rogue gave a light chuckle in response to Guardian's question. "That among other things darlin' but that will be discussed later in due time. Ah came ova here to find you Aleksey. Ms. Frost asked to see you right away." The wind blew the white portion of her hair into her eyes. Closing them, she breathed in the fresh air. It was good to be home. She didn't realize how much she missed it.

Cyclops liked the way Rogue was able to interact with the kids, it wasn't that long ago that she had been one of them. Well one off the younger X-Men at least. In fact she had a lot in common with Haven, having come to join the X-Men after being recruited by Mystique into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Looking at Ian he said "I was just telling Guardian that she will be taking over for your friend Ember as Team leader of the Paragons, and she is a teacher as well." He nodded as he turned to Rogue and said "We'll all head back to the mansion together in a few minutes Rogue, but tell me what you make of that-" Scott said pointing over his shoulder at the huge green crater as it gleamed in the sun.

Rogue looked over the headmaster's shoulder and her eyes widened. The massive green crater was amazing. She had never seen anything like it before. "What the-," she said squinting her eyes. How could she not have noticed it before? It was the biggest thing around.
Pushing that thought aside, Rogue walked over slowly and observed the green glass-like crater. "When and how did this get here Scott?" she asked over her shoulder. When she reached the edge of it, she crouched down and observed even closer. She could see something moving inside, and like everyone else did, she concluded it looked like a lava lamp. "Well somethin' is livin' in it that's fer sure," she commented. The question on her mind, an obviously on Scott's:what caused this crater to emerge and what was inside it?

Now that the teacher's attention was back on that weird warm lava lamp crater thing, Ian rushed right back to it and looked it over again suspiciously. "Ok Teach... uh Cyclops, I got a question," he said remembering that both Cyclops and the new chick were teachers and he will now have to say the actual name. "Cause me and Lorelai followed the blood trail, which I guess is Wolverine's, all the way here and this is where it stops. And you said that this is from the bombs Nightcrawler brought here from the school. Does that mean they are trapped under it or something?" he asked scratching his head and furrowing his brow in thought.
"I wonder how deep this thing is. You know I bet if I tried really hard, I could lift it out of the ground. It would take a long time to do it though," Ian added as he thought hard about what this thing was. What kind of bombs exploded into... well this? "Maybe if I lift it out, we'll find Wolverine and Nightcrawler. They could still be alive," he said in an unsure voice as he could tell this thing is heavy and probably did go deep. "They have to be alive," he whispered the last part thinking of how sad Spitfire was and what she was going through. He wanted his friend back damnit and Wolverine being alive and coming back was their only hope.

Guardian wasn't really surprised that Rogue said Ms. Frost wants to see him. He knew he couldn't get anything past her. He simply agreed, "Alright, I'll go with you" he said. After Rogue and Ian walked up to the crater again, Guardian joined them. Hearing Ian's idea gave Guardian some doubts. He didn't really know what this crater was, so maybe it wouldn't be such a great idea to mess with it.
"Ian" Aleksey said. "Are you sure that's such a good idea? We have no idea what this thing is" he added. He paused for a moment, "You know, you're not the only one here with some extra muscle power" he said with a slight grin. "I'll be glad to give you a hand if you want, from the other side of this crater I mean" he told Ian with confidence.

As Rogue went to look at the green rock stuff as did Ian and Guardian, Lorelai did too, hearing Ian's idea of lifting it though it would be a great effort. She had a hand on her hip as she tilted her head in thought as she stood behind them all, trying to think of how it could possibly be made easier for all of them, even though Guardian offered his help to lift it out. "Lifting it out would take far too much energy, wouldn't it?" she asked them, still thinking of an easier way. She took a step closer as she thought, and then she got an idea.
"Hey guys, instead of lifting it, why not break it down? I could make it brittle enough that a couple good punches from you two will break it down," she suggested, cupping her chin in thought as she figured out how she would go about doing so if that was what they wanted. Her interest was also piqued to see what would be underneath and behind the weird rock.

Shaking his head slightly Scott said "I don't think you'd find anything under there. If Wolverine was under there, believe me by now he'd have cut his way out, plus Emma would have found his Mutant Signature using CEREBRA in the same way as she found each of you students in your home towns."
"Besides" he continued "if we needed to bust this thing up into smaller chunks my optic blasts can punch holes through mountains, this would be no problem. I just don't see the point except to exhaust all the avenues of exploration regardless of the avenue having any merit." He looked at them, but then he wasn't sure they got what he was saying so he said "You kids want to do it just to do it, no matter that it wont help, right?"
Then he thought about it for a second more and said "Alright go ahead, just don't hurt yourselves- or each other."
'This would be a good way for them to blow off some steam, plus Frostbite looks like she's got a plan forming in her head, I wonder what she'll come up with' he thought 'they are all on Colossus team, I would be surprised if they didn't work well together. His teams always are pretty tight nit groups now that I think of it.'

Hearing Ian's idea, Rogue shrugged. It was a pretty good one but then again Scott was able to achieve it with his own power without problem as he mentioned. Hearing Logan's codename however, triggered the Paragons leader to the main reason she came by in the first place.
"Scott," she said immediately and walked over to him. "Kitty found out that Kurt and possibly Logan are in LIMBO." She allowed the words to sink in, seeing that they were clearly at its entrance at that very moment.

After all the suggestions of what to do with it, Aleksey thought that maybe breaking it wasn't such a great idea. Maybe if he set it on fire, that probably wasn't a great idea too since there was forest land around the crater, the fire might become uncontrollable. Then Aleksey over heard Rogue saying where Nightcrawler and Wolverine might actually be. Aleksey didn't know what LIMBO was. He turned toward Rogue and the Headmaster, "Sir..." he said to the headmaster "what's LIMBO?" he asked. "If they might be there we should all try to find them as soon as we can, where is this place?" Aleksey insisted. He knew that Nightcrawler had saved his life when the Brotherhood attacked, he had to do the same for Nightcrawler.

"Limbo." Scott said softly, in a contemplative way. 'Of course, had to be something like that, but how, why?' he thought. Then he heard Guardian's questions and looked around at the others. Thoughts and visions of that hellish place filled his mind and he wished it was almost anywhere else. "Damn" he whispered.
"Well, Limbo is a world all it's own. Like another dimension. It has land and buildings, lakes and rivers made of lava, and it's populated entirely by demons. Humans have been there, I have been there-but if you are weak in your heart and your mind the place will bend you to it's will, turn you into a demon. It makes no sense, but I guess that's why Emma couldn't find them with CEREBRA." Cyclops said reaching up to rub his chin with his knuckles.
"So, then we better get back to the mansion and see what we can do to get them out of there. Rogue, how sure is she?" Scott asked her not wanting to use his psychic rapport with Emma just in case she was dealing with anything overwhelming.

Ian stood straight up and looked at Cyclops and Rogue. "Whoa, you mean they're alive? And in like Hell? What the... Teach we gotta go get them! We gotta tell Spitfire, I mean Aideen. You know how much it would mean to her, we could get our friend back!" he said getting excited about the idea. This could mean that everything will be fixed! If they get Nightcrawler and Wolverine out, Aideen will be alright again and then it will be alright. He didn't care about demons at this point. Ian was determined to finish this and make everything right. He was always quite headstrong.
"How do we get there?" Ian asked, not particularly wanting to go back to the mansion yet, but would if necessary to get to Limbo or whatever.
