Hank McCoy led the trio of students into the large cafeteria. It was rather nice for a cafeteria, certainly not like the ones that were found in most schools. The tables were long and wooden with wooden benches and chairs. The walls were filled with framed pictures that were of the students and drawn by some of them. Mainly of food, of course since that was the point of a cafeteria. Emma had remodeled it when she took the position as Headmistress. It was certainly an improvement since it had not been renovated since the mansion was built before then.
Hank walked over to the larger table and took a seat at the head of it. 'I do hope that Piotr hurries the others along, time is a factor here. Allison is usually punctual and swift in times like these. I just hope the team that I bring will not be a disappointment. I wonder if the new students has come yet. We do have several more due to come in I believe. No matter, I'll have Allison scout the house for them,' he thought before turning to the trio. "Take a seat you three, we'll begin as soon as the others arrive," Hank said in an authoritative voice as he sat at the head of the table and waited for the others to arrive.

Veronika walked in arm in arm with Heather after Beast into the cafeteria, glancing back at Onyx once in awhile. My does he look good angry. So much passion, as they say. He probably stayed back to watch me from behind. And he wears those shade to hide it. Boys are so easy. She tossed her hair and added an extra step to her cute strut that never fails to make guys look twice.
When they walked into the cafeteria, Veronika inspected it with a critical eye. It is not as nice as the one at my school at home, but I suppose it could be worse. She tugged Heather to sit by her at the bench close to Beast. "You know the Dazzler will be sitting near him. I want to sit with her,, for that would be best no?" she said with a giggle as she sat down a couple of meters away from Beast.

Now very much pissed off and aggitated by the extended wait. And, as he walked through the doors of the cafeteria, he just got more pissed off. 'Right, thats it, i give this ten to fifteen minutes, more than that and im going to really go insane here!' Jasper growled inside his head as he slumped against the wall with folded arms and looking directly at the wall opposite him. His mind was almost bubbling over with worry and fear over what Aideen was like in that hell. How she was coping. If anything had attacked her. Was she hurt? Was she scared? No, she didn't seem like the girl who got scared easily. But still, the worry was there, and he was really struggling to cope with it right now.

Heather walked with Veronika, Dr.McCoy and unfortunately Onyx. There wasn't much for them to do now but wait... and wait.... and oh yeah... wait. So, sitting down with Veronika, she waited for them to start the meeting and then head to New York.
She sighed and then scratched her nose feeling an itch, and shook her head at Veronika's proposal with a smirk on her face. "Why don't you try to stand next to Onyx. He seems to be someone you ought to be impressing more," she replied while glancing toward the angry German's face. He was growling and mumbling to himself... weirdo.

Having been alone, as he most liked things by himself and hardly ever spent time with others except as it pertained to those things which he considered mandatory, Stephen had been up in the observation lounge upstairs since he'd passed by some new girl and all of her worldly belongings earlier in the foyer. Strange how below him he could see that very girl through the greenhouse like glass ceiling of the cafeteria, along with Beast and some other students.
"What are they up to?" he mumbled as if to himself or another who might be sitting close by. Alas however, not another soul was near, nor another ear to hear. Still he spoke again as softly "Think it's worth a little snooping?" 'As you as I' he thought and his body began to take on less form. The edges of him seemed to blur and soften as all the color, no more than that, all the light itself seemed to be sucked out of the area he occupied. He was after all The Shade.
He slid out of the cracks around the window and slithered down the side of the mansion. Co-allessing on the ground he clung to the shadows around the cafeteria windows. Just out of the light his eyes looking down into the big glass room, Shade saw more people entering. This is too weird he was thinking until he saw one of his own team mates enter and then, that was the moment when he knew it was serious.

'Little smart ass says "I know" - how smug of him. It's fine, if he wants to stay on my bad side. Either way I'll use him as I see fit, a pawn is a pawn after all.' he thought of Jumper as he was turned around out front in the courtyard and brought into the school by Colossus. They all were, it was weird.
He'd been around and seen lots of stuff, but this was a new one.'Something big must be up' he thought as he walked into the cafeteria and grabbed a seat at the best table, the one the Hellions had held onto for a long time now. Everybody recognized it was the best table in the whole cafeteria and he INFLICT was sitting at the head of it. Kicking his feet up to rest on top of the table he showed his disrespect to all.

Strolling into the cafeteria, Gina's leather jacket, with it's chains and accoutrement, made enough noise to announce her presence but she had to say something anyway. "Rockstar?" she asked as if she was taking role, and responded to herself "Present!"
She saw her Team Leader at their table and strolled over to plop down on the far end of the table from him and pull her guitar into her lap. As she often did when she wanted to block the world and especially Norrison or Kelly out was pick and play on her guitar. She turned up the volume and adjusted the sound to be sort of like a harpsichord. She played a fair approximation of some chamber music, with a kick.

"Yo, it's a good thing you decided to you know. Hey it's cool" Chase whispered "I wont say a thing." He was glad that Kyle would be staying but he didn't quite get what was going on. " 'Everybody get inside!' was all that Colossus had said, kinda freaky don'tcha think?" Chase asked Kyle, his new friend as he looked past Inflict and Decibel to a table on the side of the room. "Over there's a good one" he pointed the table out.

Kelly strolled in the cafeteria with his arm around Ariel as he rambled on about his tutoring this year. "So I was thinking after I saw that movie, I could really learn with that. So what do you say Ariel? Topless tutoring sounds genius to me," Kelly finished with a wide grin as he walked with her to the usual Corsairs table by the windows. He personally liked this table best cause it was the closest to the Kitchen.
"And then I'm thinking after a session of topless tutoring we can-" Kelly stopped talking when he looked around and saw Beast sitting at the table with his usual oh-so-serious look on his face. He leaned down and whispered to Ariel. "Man this is serious. You think Beast is still mad at me for turning his potion thingys into beer?" he asked curiously as they sat down.

While the others walked together along with Tracy now to the cafeteria, Lily let herself hover along with them. At seeing everyone begin to gather in the cafeteria, her already big eyes widened at the different and new people she never saw before. WOW! There's a blue furry guy and a girl with a guitar and a scary guy and a bunch of people, she thought as she looked quickly at each of them, curiousity getting the better of the fear she had been feeling a few minutes ago. "Look at all the big kids!" she said somewhat excitedly to the group she had come with.
Though she seemed to be more cheered up, everyone she saw in the room didn't look too happy. "Karma, why's no one happy?" she asked, looking for some answer.

Kyle walked in with Chase and looked around. There were a couple he didn't recognize, but he wasn't surprised. There were more students showing up to the school. Noticing where Chase pointed he nodded and headed to the table. There was a lot going on inside his head so he really didn't pay much attention to anyone here. He did notice that there was a very cute new girl sitting next to Aqua, and if it were yesterday Kyle would have already been there hitting on her, but not now. For one, Aqua was there with her, and she was probally pissed at Kyle for his out bust in the library earlier. And second, he just felt that she would have blown him off like all the others. Maybe Chase was right, he should just forget about girls for now.
Settling into a seat he noticed where Inflict was sitting. he couldn't help but look over at Inflict. What he had said outside had really hit home. And Kyle felt very alone inside. "It is kind of wierd, and the last time we had a gathering like this was after the attack. I hope noone else is hurt." a flash of concern passed over his face as he looked around trying to think of who was missing.

After getting the orders from Colossus to report right to the cafeteria, Ariel headed there along with Kelly. "Think again, Kelly," she laughed in response to her teammate's suggestion of a studying method. "You'd never focus, besides, it's not like you do anyway," she joked with him as they headed to their team's table. After she went to take a seat did she see who had called the whole big meeting together, and Beast didn't look happy.
At Kelly's question she rolled her eyes, and shook her head. "They're even bringing in the little ones," she whispered back while she sat down, "So I seriously doubt it's that." She watched as the Dazzler, Heartstring, Karma, and the little girls came in along with the older students, and realized then the gravity of the situation. The Brotherhood attacks, the stuff outside school, things about Emma and Cyclops being gone, stuff about Limbo? Jesus, no wonder we all got called back in early, she thought, looking around to see more people coming in.

Katana straggled in a bit behind Jumper and Chase, having been brooding a bit with her thoughts, and also not wanting to get quite too close to Inflict when he came up to Jumper for fear that she might lose control of her temper and do something that everybody would regret. Walking up behind Jumper she whispered in his ear, "It's all ok. And you are not alone." That said she quickly walked away, not wanting Jumper to see the concern in her face.
She liked him way too much for her own good. It scared her. With everybody else she had ever cared about, she had only cared about what they could do for her. It was like that with Guardian. She liked him because he made her feel safe and wanted. Jumper annoyed the hell out of her, yet she found that she missed him when he was not around, that she felt bad whenever he was hurting, and that she just wanted him to be happy even if it profitted her nothing. It was a strange feeling. It was a feeling that made her vulnerable. And, frankly, the last thing that Katana needed now was to be vulnerable. She'd been vulnerable once, as a child, and had almost been destroyed as a result. Ever since she had tried to always be strong. Now she couldn't be and consequently she half wanted to strangle and half wanted to hug Jumper.
Sighing annoyedly with herself, she shook her head to clear it and looked forward, readying herself to concentrate on the task ahead.

Torri followed Karma, Heartstring and the little girls out of the kitchen, holding lightly onto the toy rabbit that Jenny had instructed she do. She had to have a sort of smile on her face as she went with them, as the younger female students were not able to be in company when they were happy; and not be in good spirits in someone else. "I'm really starting to get hungry now." she mumbled quietly to Jenny as she bent down to whisper to her. "I've been out all day and shapeshifting makes me hungry, but i haven't ate anything since breakfast." she grumbled with a small laugh behind her words.
As they reached the cafeteria, Torri's face fell quite a bit as she saw all the older students she had just got away from, sitting at the table. 'Oh god, just keep silent Tor, be a good girl and keep shtum, you don't want another incident with that monster up there at the top of the table. Actually, keep yourself as far away from him as possible.' Nodding slowly inside her head, torri gave a low sigh and let go of Rogers hand and pushed him closer to her little friend. "I'm just gonna stand here by the door ok? You go with miss Karma and the other girls, alright?" she said quietly before moving her back against the wall and wrapping her arms tightly around her stomach.

Jasper rolled his eyes from the wall he stood at as he watched a large number of other students pile through the door. Barr a very select few, they all looked like people he knew he wouldn't get on with. Although, the guy at the top of the table looked alright enough, not like some of these happy go lucky idiot that were seemingly piling through. Why was everyone so damn happy all the time!? 'This place is insane, we need to go get Aideen out of hell damnit, not round up the zoo! I'm going out of my mind here and Aideen is stuck in hell. freak she better be alright, or i'll go insane. What am i thinking, im going insane anyway, this waiting is driving me insane!' he growled inwardly, snarling angrily at the opposite wall as he tightened his arms briefly before tucking them deep into his combat trouser pockets again.
Thankfully, his blackened out shades his the maddening look that he had in his wide eyed expression. He almost about ready to try and blow something up, just to relieve the rage and pressure that had began building inside him from the lab. Rage only fueled the energy that surged through him and it was getting increasingly hard to hold it inside, but he knew that; were he to relieve the pressure, he would either be refused access to LIMBO or detained and not allowed in LIMBO. And both were not an option that he very much wanted to have to abide by. 'Come on blue man, get a freaking move on!' he growled inwardly again, clenching and unclenching his hands inside his pockets.
