She had been caught out in the middle of the cafeteria when the three of them had come in from outside, Beast, Forge and this new guy True Spirit. 'Hmm, he's kinda hot. A little young for my tastes, but hot' she'd thought as she had walked back to her seat at the Hellion's table to await the announcements. Gina was into older guys, with motorcycles and scruffy facial hair.
Upon hearing that it was true about Limbo, Decibel shook her head in disbelief. It wasn't as if she didn't believe Rogue, but it just hadn't seemed real outside when the news was leaked about everyone going off to Otherplace. "An accident? What happened?" Gina asked loudly, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"I'm sorry Colossus. Beast, please forgive me but... what accident?" She had only just seen the White Queen and even though Decibel was more recently growing to resent her, Emma was, and had been a fixture in her life for so many years. "I mean alot of us were outside for the whole truck explosion thing and we saw what was out there. It was a huge blast and the heat was pretty intense. So yeah that was bad, but what happened in the lab?"

Torri tried to distract herself from her thoughts by looking over at her little friend Jenny and the new girl. Being 5 years older than her, it was probably silly to think of her as one of her few friends, but she did. Jen never ceased to cause a smile on the young Acolytes face, and never once did she have a bad thought about her. At the comment she made on already having eaten a cake, a small smile twitched at Shimmers mouth. Reaching over, she placed the other half of her one in front of her. "You can have the rest of mine Jen, you look like you really enjoyed it." Her voice wasn't as loud as normal, as she was still very wary of the people around her, but for once she was happy to hear hr own voice again.
Turning around, she spotted the doctor walk back in with two other people. The younger one made a blush streak across Shimmers face, heightening the pinkness that already existed from Dazzler asking her to sit beside her. 'He's very cute. Very very cute. Wait, hang on. No! Bad Torri, bad bad bad! Stop it. Riker, remember? Yesterday? Where is he anyway? No, Focus!!' she mentally fought with herself, pulling herself into a tight ball on her seat again and hiding her face from view. 'He is very good looking though, i wonder what his powers are? Hmm, if only I was older. ::sigh:: Torri you're insane. Look. At. Him! He's stupidly cute and you have cat ears and a mass of pink hair, pink eyes and are freakishly tall. Not even if you were older would you stand half a chance!'
Pulling her mouth to the side, Torri let out a low quiet sigh before looking at the doctor and listening. She had caught something about the other students, but she didn't quite get it. What was LIMBO? Wasn't that the place where souls got trapped between heaven and hell, where spirits stayed and haunted places? 'Spooky' she wondered, before going over it in her head as Colossus started talking. Everything was beginning to just mesh together in her head, as her attention started wandering to try and figure out what the LIMBO place was.

Rogue noticed Henry to be in his own little world. Hence after the helicopter arrived with Forge and the so called TrueSpirit, Henry simply brought the students to attention and explained everything thing. She didn't mind much since that was Henry's persona. Once he was occupied with something in his mind, everything else seemed to just not register.
So, Rogue stood aside nodding to Forge and TrueSpirit and listened to Henry's speech about Limbo. She looked toward the students, hoping they would take the sad news in stride and not be as fearful as they should be. Being in Limbo was extremely dangerous, however with Scott, Kitty and Emma there, she knew the students would be a bit safer and in good hands.
After the speech, Rogue listened as the discussion of the weapons found in the courtyard was introduced. She still couldn't believe that someone was able to get a hold of Tony Starks' weaponry so easily. Rogue stood by, listening to Decibel and and looked to Henry and Pete to explain. Rogue would have herself however she only appeared after she heard the explosion. Pete would know more about the situation.

Jenny clamped her mouth shut when Dazzler gave her the 'shh' sound and gave her a sheepish grin. She looked back at Lily and in a much quieter voice spoke. "You know, I dunno. they aren't here. I hope they're nots gone though. There was a really really neat looking blue man here too, and he was real nice. He's not here no more. I hope thats not what happened to my other friends," she said a bit worried. "Oh! And Mr. Summers and Ms. Frost are real nice! They gave me a uniform just like for the big kids for Christmas. And Ms. Frost is really pretty with the GORGEOUS hair," Jenny said with emphasis on how much she liked Ms. Frost's pretty shiny hair.
When the big kid that looked like he was from Pocahontas sat down by them, Jenny stared at him with big eyes. "Wow... do you know Pocahontas?" She asked him before going quiet again as Dr. McCoy began talking to them. Her large blue eyes went wide in confusion. Oh no! More of my friends left! But that makes me have fewer friends. I want them back! she thought and looked over at Karma. "Karma are they all gonna come back for real? I like Mr. Summers and Ms. Frost and Kitty is purty with a neat name. And some of my other friends might be there too!" she whispered and hugged Roger to her. She did eye the cupcake that Shimmer offer to her with hungry eyes. She can't help it, she just LOVES Chocolate.
"Well... I think Roger would like another cupcake. Thanks Shimmer!" Jenny said and took the cupcake careful to not get her hands sticky and offered some to Roger before taking a bite of it herself. "what's Limbo anyways? Is it that game that you play at a birthday party?" she asked out loud, very confused and only understanding that some more people are gone. Going to Limbo sounds fun though, she was really good at Limbo cause shes small and just runs under the pole.

At seeing the Dazzler put a finger to her lips to shush her like her mom did, Lily went quiet immediately and pressed her lips together in a bit of a smile and bounced in her seat again when she got a cupcake and a pat on the head. She munched on it quietly, licking the icing first and then going after the cake part as she listened to Jenny talk more quietly. "Another blue man? Wowee, and whos they?" she asked, speaking in a tried whisper about the headmaster and headmistress.
She quieted down again when she saw the big older kid who she just managed to see come in sat down with them. Wow! He reminds me of whatshisname - Kocuum! So cool that he's here with US, she thought with glee as Jenny asked him did he know Pocahontas. "Yeah, and do you have a racoon friend and a birdy friend too?" she asked him with curiousity, going quiet yet again as Dr. McCoy was explaining things. A little frown couldn't help but show itself on her face; she didn't know who had been sent there, but from the way everyone was reacting she could see it wasn't at all a good thing.
She stayed quiet and munched on her cupcake some more as she watched the girl Jenny called Shimmer offer her new friend a cupcake. When Jenny spoke up out loud asking about Limbo, Lily looked to the big furry man for an answer since he seemed to know it all, her question having been asked for her while she had been wondering the same thing. Meanwhile she enjoyed the yummy chocolate cupcake and its icing, her little wings fluttering a few times in happiness though she didn't leave her seat.

Kris laughed over at his red head and grinned, "Well come on then gorgeous, grab a seat!" he urged, indicating the chair on the other side of him. He was beginning to enjoy the company of these two girls, they were cool and pretty cool in their own rights. Too bad. "Well gorgeous, i'm not sure on my 'power'-" Kris started, using air quotes "-but it's got something to do with plants and stuff. I feel more energetic around them and they move when i want. It's awesome, but confusing." He said, still smiling the same grin he had since meeting them. "What about you? You as well cutie, what can you lot do?" he asked although his voice trailed off leaving his mouth open a little at the new arrivals.
There. In the dorrway. Was one of the most stunning of all male humans Kris had ever seen in his life. His thoughts on being too showy as his eyes traveled up and down the tall figure of the HOT native american guy walking into the room. 'Kris ... Kris? ... Kris stop staring. KRIS! LOOK AWAY!' His thoughts were screaming at him until he looked ahead of him in a daze, seriously, it should be illegal for a guy to look that hot! "Uh... I guess we know who the 'copter was for..." he said in a voice not like the one he had used before, this one was slightly more chipper and quirky. But who could blame him, he was gonna have a good night tonight.
Focusing his attention back to the grown teacher people, Kris tried to take in what they were all saying, but he didn't really understand what they were all talking about, he didn't even know who half the people he was talking about here, never mind everyone in the room, appart from his two girls, being complete strangers to him. But he knew well enough to keep quiet about the situation and settled instead at sneaking glances at the hot new guy at a different table.

"Hold up!" Inflict said standing up from his seat of honor at the head of his team's table. "Let's talk about these weapons. I am out one awesome luxury van, it had a freakin' wicked sound system and a bed in the back with a huge screen TV." He looked at Decibel shaking his head for her having changed the subject.
"What do I have to do? Go and see Tony-damn-Stark myself and get him to buy me another one? It was his weapons in that truck right? Who were the losers driving it anyway? They cut me off! Hell, if we didn't have our powers then we'd be dead right now too!" His face was starting to turn red and his eyes were getting wild, Norrison wanted an answer and didn't want to sit down. He didn't care about Forge and his queer little buddy, or Limbo either. He was pissed that his ride was a twisted slag of molten steel now and he wanted retribution. "Somebody's gonna pay for this, I'm gonna make 'em."

"Oh no Norry, they ruined your car? Yea that is important, I mean now your daddy is just gonna have to buy you another one. What is this the fifth van in the last three years? Someone is just always out to get you aren't they Norry?" a taunting disrespectful voice was heard from outside the doorway. Mason stepped inside the cafeteria with a smirk on his face as he looked around at the group. He walked towards the area where the Corsairs sat and placed an arm on HeartString's shoulder. "Doctor, don't you see how important this is? Who cares that three teachers and a bunch of kids are trapped in hell. Norry here had his expensive car ruined again, we gotta send out the alarm. Call the cops, the media, drop everything and find those culprits," he mocked pushing Kelly Burns over to sit himself next to his best friend.
"Sorry I'm a bit late, got in last night and crashed at the motel in town," Mason said with a yawn. He drove his extremely well cared black 1969 Camaro Z-28 HUGGER with two silver stripes across the center of it. He gave HeartString a side grin. She's always been like a younger sister to him, but he never thought of it in those words cause her rack was way too nice to belong to anyone he would ever think of that way. Mason glanced back at Inflict with his usual mocking glare he saved just for his old rival. "Don't worry Norry, I'm sure you're old man will cover you. You'd think after all the experience you have with this stuff, you'd get it by now," he taunted with a sneer on his face. Ever since they met, Inflict and Ironclad hated each other. Mason thought he was nothing more that a spoiled rotten kid who demanded respect because of his power and money. He mooched off his dad, and never wanted for anything. The fact that Mason worked his ass off for everything and his old man was drunk 90% of the time, not giving a shit about him didn't lessen the tension between them. What topped the cake was how Ironclad was one of the few people not affected by Inflict's power.
Mason looked in turn at all the people at the table, the little kids, the younger girls, his team, an Indian dude, and the Dazzler? I picked a good seat, he thought with a smirk before he looked back at Beast. "Now, I'd also like to know what freak accident happened that got twelve people in Limbo," he said leaning his elbows on the table with a cool look on his face.

Mato had followed Forge to the seat with his teammates were said to be. It was not a challenge to learn that the older ones were most likely on his team. Emma Frost had sent notice to Forge that he would be joining the older group seeing as he was now considered a man in his village. That was fine with him, as Mato saw it either way its a learning experience. He smiled back at the girl with the light hair and the kind eyes. In her eyes, he was very pleased and delighted to see a graceful deer reflecting from within her depths. She must be as good as the deer. Gentle in all the senses, the ability to listen and find what many cannot see. I believe they are also considered to have the power of gratitude and giving and realize the alternative paths to meet a goal. I'm glad there is one person on my team I will like, the bear and the deer have always been kindred spirits, Mato said in his mind as he smiled slightly wider at the girl.
He sat down quietly and duteously as the man called Henry spoke to the group. Mato watched at some faces lit up in fear and concern. Another dimension? That is terrible. Forge and I have been working together on traveling to the Spirit World, which takes a good deal of focus and concentration. It is always harder to come back from the Spirit World than return. I imagine it is even worse for another dimension. My training in the mystical aspect is fair, though I do believe I would need more elements to work with to attempt dimension traveling, he contemplated before he heard two small voices address him. It was two of the little ones that sat nearby.
Mato smiled gently at the little fairy and the small girl with the ragged bunny and chocolate smeared near her mouth. The innocence and the pureness of a child was fascinating to him, for the animals within them were usually without fear and carefree. He looked at the tiny fairy girl with pink hair and saw the curious Gerbil in her eyes. An animal so carefree and happy will remain in the girl her whole life. She is lucky to be someone who will always be so pure in her heart, he thought before he answered the girls. "No I cannot say I have met her. I do hear she's lovely," he whispered with an amused smile. "And I don't have a raccoon or little bird friend, but I do have a Bear friend," he said with a wink at the two girls, his eyes settling on the blond girl. Without having to look closely at all, Mato saw the lovely white heifer, or a baby camel prancing around in joy in the girl's shining face. A very admirable and rare animal. I have yet to see one in person, but I do remember all they stand for. This little girl is going to be a support source for many. She will help ease burdens and always have an innate sense of her surroundings. The heifer will grow along with her, he thought with a big smile that he gave both of the girls.
The older students seemed much more conflicted to Mato, though they all seemed to share some sense of worry. The beautiful woman with the other boy was flirting with was looking at Henry, or called Beast by others with an adoring look. Just as he was about to peer inside to see the woman's character, a voice from the doorway distracted him, and everyone else as well. A tall boy with very rugged features was mocking the one upset about his car. Mato silently observed and did not have to look hard to see the boy's character. A cheetah... only slightly surprising. That must mean there is some good in him despite the mock and disrespect he has for his peer, though it may have been well placed. The Cheetah, like the Lion, stands for Brotherhood. It will be best to remain on the better side with someone like him, Mato thought still not saying a word out of respect, but went on to observe the others around him.

'Aw shit!' Rose thought as she saw Ironfag burst through the door. She hated him too, Machete's list of people she liked was far shorter than the list of those she detested. She found comfort in her hate. It separated her from the rest of the hot young girls at the school, she liked to be distinct and set apart actually.
She could remember the evening well enough. Halloween it was and the kids were going to a party. She dressed just like HeartString and played with his emotions on the dance floor. Silently teasing him and making him moan slightly. She got him to tell her how he wanted her that night, well how he wanted Tracy since he thought that's who she was.
Laughing loudly at him she whipped off her disguise to reveal her identity, only to have him say how he knew all along it was her because she couldn't dance a step. 'How dare he' she still fumed when it came time for a dance or a party, remembering how he had turned it around on her and the whole of the Corsairs laughed with him. Paybacks were still forthcoming- one day she would get him...one day.

Chester looked at his team as the mood changed in the cafeteria. It was funny to see how they all had the reactions to different people. He himself didn't really hate anyone. He was not fond of some of the teachers, sure, but that was because he wasn't the best student. He was from the back woods and schoolin was not a priority in his family. It was true that when he first arrived at The White Queen's Massachusetts Academy he could barely even read so of course he was on the low end of the curve, but hate- no that wasn't his style.
He actually liked a lot of the Corsairs on a personal level, they were just on the 'other' team and that made them rivals. Nothing bad in that, it actually was, for the most part, a way to get everybody to focus and compete in some serious things that might one day save their lives. Stoney was slow, but that much he did understand. Funny how some of the 'smart kids' never really got that. He reckoned it was a fact what his pops had said about common sense being less common now a days than every before.

To remain in his dark-form Shade decided, and to simply listen. The conversation being what he was curious in now, even though this new student who was accompanied by Forge did carry something regal about him that he would love to corrupt. Bothered with people he could not be, let alone a newbie to the school. Have their fun hazing him his own team probably would.
When Mason walked in he readied himself for what might happen next. Stephen knew about the rivalry between he and Norrison, but he knew also that he himself was the Achilles heel of Ironclad. Lithe and nigh impervious to any harm sure he was, but he was useless if nothing could he see. Plus the Shade had been working on a new aspect of his power, and itching he was to try it out on somebody. 'Maybe tonight we'll get our chance, yes?' he thought as he focused on Beast who was looking like he was about to settle things down. 'Oh no, no, not just yet. That would break our dark twisted heart it would.' he pouted to himself.

Chase looked up at Katana's words and saw something in her eyes, something he was not about to have "Yeah, I'm cool that's good to know. Just alot of stuff all at once, ya know?" he said trying to distract her from his friend Kyle. 'I know that look, she's after him now. Well, she's gonna have to go through me to get to his heart. I'll see to it that he takes a good long break from chicks!' Chase thought. 'Maybe he'll never go back to that pain, and confusion. Poor guy.' he thought and looked over now at his room mate. 'Wonder if he knows?'

Rising from his seat, his right leg making a strange whirring mechanical sound, he looked at his long time friends. These X-Men seemed to be overwhelmed for the moment and being a friend to all of them he took the opportunity to speak for them. He cleared his throat, drawing upon all the wisdom of the ancients and addressed the gathered group.
"So, this is what they teach here at the Xavier Institute is it?" He looked at the children as he walked among them, taking pause to pat the little fairy girl's head and smile at her as he passed. "How best to taunt and tease? Oh, how much the curriculum has changed." He walked up to the Hellion's table and stared them each in the eye. "But I know that this is not what they teach you here, where is you discipline, where is your judgment? You young mutants have no bearing what-so-ever, you are a disgrace to yourselves and your people. As one of your people I will not stand for it!"
He walked back past the small group of Paragons and then the little click of children who came in with Rogue and finally stopped alongside Beast. Turning to face them all now that he had their attention he said "I hope this behavior does not persist while I am here among you, because you will be very regretful if it does. Now!" He turned to Beast and said "Your instructor Dr. McCoy has called you all here for a purpose, so let's give all of our attention to him. Beast?" he was confident there would be no more outbursts and EVERYONE'S attention would be on the good doctor until he was finished saying what he had to say.

Hank sighed when Ironclad came in, wasting no time in taunting Inflict. Those two had been rivals from the moment that they met. It was a rather tiresome rivalry that made Beast have to give them detention more than once for trying to get at each other during classes. Henry was grateful when Forge stepped in, always being a person that was more likely to intimidate others than himself. As a Renaissance man he prided himself to have a philosophy that centered around Pacifism. He looked at the group again and cleared his throat. “Thank You Forge. I will explain to you what has happened, but be aware that this will be done quick for time is a factor. As many of you know, the Brotherhood attacked the school. Nightcrawler disappeared along with Wolverine when he teleported away to get rid of the bombs that were planted around the school. I, along with a group of students discovered that they were transported to Limbo. The freak accident occurred when a device that was linked to Limbo was set off due to a mishap between some of the students. A portal opened up and stole twelve of the eighteen people in the room. As you see it is vital for us to get the out of there as soon as possible,” Henry said looking to the group of people around him.
“We have contacted the Avengers who are ready to help and expecting us at their Headquarters soon. Excalibur is also being kept in the loop and are helping us as well. Dazzler and I are assembling a team to come along with us on the rescue mission. Forge,” he turned to his long time friend. “If it would not trouble you, I would appreciate you coming along with TrueSpirit. I know for a fact we will be dealing with mystical and spiritual forces that are out of my area of knowledge. Also you’ll need to move you’re helicopter.”
Henry looked back at the group of students. “The team I am assembling will need to be ready right away. Dress warmly and get to the Hanger as soon as possible. We’ll be taking the Blackbird to New York City. Colossus and Rogue, I am leaving you two in charge while I am away and I expect you to keep things in order. Now for the team for the rescue mission,” he said and began looking at the students he called. “Onyx, Nok~Off, Aqua, please stand by the doorway with Dazzler. I’d also like HeartString, Ironclad, and Decibel. All of you are to grab some warm clothes and report to the Hanger immediately,” he said before looking at Karma. “Karma, I ask you to keep an eye on the little ones and you know what to do if there is a sign of trouble,” he said gently knowing she would do anything possible to protect her charges.
“As for the explosions, I will inform Tony immediately and take this,” he picked up the piece of metal. “To him and try to trace it. I firmly believe that the trail is cold by now, but I leave it to the rest of you to think of a plan.” He put the metal in his pocket and looked at the students.
“Time is a vital factor in this case, therefore let us not waste anymore time. Will the team I have chosen please grab some warm clothes and report to the Hanger at once. I will keep you all informed along the way,” he finished and went over to pat Colossus on the shoulder. “These are hard times we will get through as long as we work together.” Those were Beast’s final words as he waved his hand to call his group and headed to the Hanger.
