Rushing over to see if Emma was alright Haven stopped when she saw that the Headmistress was indeed being worked on. It was all she could do to stand there still and wait with bated breath for the outcome. When Emma opened her eyes Niki's heart lifted and she saw how the woman was loved by her friends, her teammates, her students.
Amazing, even with all she has done in the past people still care. They gave her a chance to be a part of their family, so maybe if they give me a chance I'll be as strong as Ms.Frost and take them up on it. She didn't want to interfere in the healing process and yet she couldn't help but wait there for a long moment until Beast wrapped his arm across her shoulder. "Ugh, you know- that arm of yours ain't light." she said "And damn, you ever hear of deodorant?" She turned with a hard scowl on her face, but she couldn't hold it and she burst out laughing. "I'm just kidding Doc, thanks! You smell great, like a freakin lilac. And it is nice to be touched, but you are kinda heavy." She was thankful when he lifted his arm, but she wouldn't have minded if he'd left it there a minute longer.
Kneeling down at Emma's side she waited to get her attention, it was what she thought she ought to do, out of respect. Niki didn't want to demand attention, like she so often had in the past, she waited patiently. She remembered seeing something like this in a movie once, it was The Joy Luck Club or something like that. She didn't see the whole movie, but one scene stuck out in her mind now, a daughter returning to her mother as she lay dying.
When she caught the Headmistress's eye she bowed slightly almost in an unnoticed way and said "Ms. Frost? I...I'm glad you're alive. I'm well, I know I don't probably deserve forgiveness, but I am truly sorry. I hope my punishment isn't too rough, but whatever it is I want to do it. I need to, so whatever it is please don't hate me forever. I'd like one more chance to be a part of your family. I'm sorry." It took a lot to say those words and she meant them, she had seen into Emma's sins with her demon vision and as even now the memories paled and faded away she knew the woman had done terrible and awful things and she had been forgiven, so Niki had a hope that she would be granted some leniency.

Ali smiled at Aqua gratefully, taking the bottle of water and sipping it daintily. "Thanks darlin'. And I think Cyke can use a bit of water," she said with wink and handed Cyclops the bottle of water after she opened it. "Drink up Scott. After the hell you went through, I don't think a little water could hurt," Alison said with a grin and stood up. She gave Emma a kiss on the cheek and gave her a dazzling and sincere smile. "So glad you're alright Em. You had me a bit worried when I heard your screaming. I shoulda remembered that if anyone could cheat death, it's you Darlin'," she said with a wink as she looked over at the girl Haven, and smiled lightly. The had such a sincere look on her face that Ali's heart went out to her right away. Little Hardlight broke her heart and she could do nothing more but offer the boy a kind and understanding look. The sweet little thing should never have gone through all that horror, she thought and leaned down to kiss the little guy's head. "It'll be alright darlin', you were so brave, I'm sure you can pull through this," Alison Blaire whispered to him. He wasn't her student, but she still felt horrible that the little guy had to go through all that. Nonetheless, she walked away to allow Emma to help him. He was her student and she would know how to comfort him best.
I got me a cute blue guy to greet, she thought and walked over to Nightcrawler hugging him right away. "Kurt! I'm so glad you're okay! Emma gave me quite a scare when she told me where you all were," Daz said and kissed his cheek. Kurt was a dear friend and always had a special place in her heart, especially after he helped her get though the whole ordeal with Longshot. Ali let go of him and smiled before turning her gaze to Onyx. The poor darlin'. The heart is so precious and fragile. Even the heartbreakers can have the tables turned, she thought as she inspected his wings.
"Well look at you Darlin'. You got a nice set of wings there, though I don't imagine that it did well for you're jacket," Ali said with a dazzling grin. Kurt engaged the boy with a conversation in their native tongue and Alison opted for her own way of comfort. She hugged the boy tightly around the waist, minding his wings. If anyone needs a hug, its this boy. "Onyx darlin' you had me worried! I thought you were lost to us for a bit, but look at you! You pulled through and found a new part of yourself in the process. I'm so proud of you darlin'!" Alison said hugging him tightly for a moment longer before she let go and looked at both of them with her famous dazzling grin.
"Now my German is a little rusty, but I did here something about a bakery?" she asked with sly grin at Kurt, giggling a bit how his sweet tooth rivaled Beast's. The longing look on Onyx's face made her heart go out to him. Ali knew the pain of the heart more than many expected, and she could do no more than offer her comfort for the boy that she saw something special in from the moment she met him in the lab. He reminded her a bit of Cain in an odd away, and she loved that man dearly despite the fact that they used to be enemies. Onyx had the same mannerisms as Cain and it made her miss her friend and want to reach out to the boy even more.

"Shhhhhhhh...don't you worry about what happened ta me, or blame yerself kid. I saw the set up a mile away, I knew the risks." He cradled her close to him and rocked her gently. Taking a long pause to let her hear the sound of his heart beating. "My choice ta take 'em, so don't blame yerself any more. " He placed his lips against her forehead as he spoke softly to her, his one hand tracing a gentle circle around on her back to warm her and soothe her sobs.
"That's a fight I've been fightin fer a long time and I'm sorry I couldn't keep you outta it. Sabertooth is a real bad guy, there's somethin' broken in his head and I oughta know- I been fightin' him fer so long, so many battles it's like we're some old married couple." He chuckled at his own lame joke. "But he'll get what's commin' to him fer messin' with you, don't worry 'bout that. And don't worry about me either ya hear? It's all over now. We're home and safe and that's all that matters, now just relax and let it all sink in. You got me back, me an Kurt are back now, so shhhhhh,. Just breathe."

Ian smiled at TrueSpirit, hoping this was the beginning of a good friendship. Any dude that saves one of my girls is a friend of mine, he thought. It seemed everyone was reuniting and getting happy. "You know, I'm kinda hungry for some - Oh uh hey," he said to Veronika when she came up to him with a bottle of water and some cereal bars. "Alright! Cocoa Puffs! Thanks a lot dudette!" he said to the pretty red head and opened it up and stuffed it in his mouth. "Blondie's here?" he said with a perplexed look on his face. He looked around and grinned widely when he spotted Heather.
"Blondie! You're here! Whoa that's totally awesome. Why didn't I get a 'hi or anything?" he said confused now what was up with Heather. Alright she sorta kept avoiding me when I first got here, then she seemed cool and now she's avoiding me again? What do I keep doing? he thought, but went over to her anyways and gave her a short hug. "Good to see you again Blondie," Ian said and let go to give her a half smile.
He finally walked back over to Lorelai and lifted her up in the air spinning her in a circle. "Aw man babe, can you believe we're back? I thought I'd live in that stink forever man," Ian said and gave her a light kiss before he put her down and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Most of us made it and look we're all together again," he said with a big smile. It was while he was looking at everyone, from Onyx, that lucky dude that got a hug from THE DAZZLER, and Wolverine huddled with..."Spitfire?" he said with his eyes as wide as saucers and his mouth dropping open slightly as he watched her shoulders shake from silent sobs. "Whoa.... I need to sit down," he said and leaned against the wall with his head on top of Lorelai's in shock.

Seeing as Hardlight went to go get healed, Lorelai looked around the room again to watch everyone. For a moment she wondered what was wrong with her fellow Acolyte, but figured to let it alone since he looked really broken up about whatever had happened to him. Moving back to where she first stood against the wall, she looked on curiously and thoughtfully. Everyone who had been sucked into Limbo, for the most part was there. It was then she remembered Guardian was dead, and she was solemn at the thought. She didn’t know him well, nor was she close to him, but he was her teammate and she cared enough about him. If anyone else hadn’t made it, she didn’t know; she had only seen a few of the others when she had the chance to look.
While she reflected briefly she looked at the floor as if there were something interesting about it. Then, she was shaken out of her thoughts when Ian came back to her. She laughed when he spun her and smiled up at him as he put her down. “Yeah I know, it was horrid there. I’m happy we’re all back together. I missed you,” she said, wrapping her arms around his middle and reached up to give him another kiss. When he mentioned Aideen she looked to where she was and saw the firebender was being held by Wolverine, and that she was…crying. “I see,” Lorelai murmured. She was surprised to see that, although she said nothing. However, she hoped that afterwards Aideen would be okay; she saw how she had been, and felt bad about it.
She rubbed Ian’s back with her hands as she looked away from Aideen and Wolverine to let them be and turned her head around to watch everyone else. Leaning into him she felt more comfortable and just let it really sink in that they were out and once everything settled a good nap would be in order.

Through all this, Mason did nothing more but lean against the side of the wall. He kept his eyes on Tracy as she worked, his face serious and emotionless as he watched for any signs that she was too tired to go on. He couldn't help it, when it came to Tracy, he'd probably shoot someone if he got a vibe he didn't like. Mason was ready to snap that one sleazeball's neck that one night they were at the pool hall. The only reason he didn't do anything more than break a beer bottle over the guy's head was cause Tracy asked him not to.
He took a bite of the damn cereal bars that the two girls brought. Why did I have to get the Fruit and Nut one? he thought with a scowl as he washed it down with some water. Mason set a couple aside for Tracy, particularly the peanut butter ones since he knew that she loved peanut butter. He held back a smirk when he saw Dazzler at the corner of his eye giving Onyx a hug and Nightcrawler talking to him in German. Guess they don't want the kid to be too heartbroken. The hot fire chick ended up in the arms of the guy's whose two loves are beer and cigars. It's like I hears Burns voice in my head screaming 'BURN,' Mason thought as a small smirk played on his mouth. The whole time he didn't move from his spot on the wall as he watched Tracy work, not feeling the need to hold much back. Looks like he finally got too tired of mixing emotions.

Hot tears rolled out of Aideen's eyes while she hugged Logan tight. It was odd to cry, she never had before since it was drilled into her head that it was a weakness that would never be tolerated. Aideen didn't like the hot moisture coming from her eyes and ending up on Logan's chest, but right then and there she didn't care, she needed to cry, needed to be told for once that everything was alright by someone who cared more about her than just getting in her pants.
Logan's words washed over her as the tears kept coming and the sobs shook her body. Aideen never thought that words could have such an effect on her, but they did. The sobs that shook her body slowed as the beating of his heart entranced her, soothing her as much as the gently circle he traced across her back and the gentle rocking. Aideen relished this, not thinking about what a weakling she looked like, but for once just enjoyed having someone comfort her with no strings attached.
Her sobs subsided, but the tears themselves had yet to stop. Her grip on Logan didn't lessen and her face stayed buried in his shoulder. Aideen chose then to look up from his shoulder and into his face. She knew she looked less than presentable, tears rolling down her face, eyes rimmed with red. At least she was warmer. "He'll get what's coming to him huh? Protecting my honor there Logan?" she said softly and quietly so only he could hear. A small smile appeared on her face as she looked at him with the tears still coming.
Her large eyes moved to his neck, the morning in the woods flashing through her mind as she remembered looking back to see Sabretooth's claws slicing through Logan's neck. There wasn't even a mark there anymore. Aideen closed her eyes as a few more tears made their way down her face. She leaned her forehead against his chin. "Thank you," she whispered, not trusting herself to speak more. So this is what it's like to have someone watch out for you... No one had ever looked out for her before. Her uncle said that he trained her to protect herself and that was enough. James tried to but she didn't need it. When she did need it with her Uncle, he couldn't help her. Instead of feeling weak like she thought she would, it felt... nice. Aideen's hand rested on his shoulder as she concentrated on Logan's voice. Just breathe...

Nodding sharply at the blue fuzzy man, Onyx let a shadow of a smile touch his face. Some things from his past he rather had not need to relive, but some memories where good enough to class as happy. Perhaps not as it was not in Jaspers character to be 'happy', not after his mutation formed anyway. Before then he was a cold guy but occasionally he could let loose among friendsand show a little life. Now he was afraid to even blink for fear of hurting anyone mistakenly. Until now he never really understood anything about mutations or what being a mutant would be like. Not until he came to the institute and saw some of the other students who where already coming to grips with their own powers. He felt so seperate from them, the language barrier being a main point; but he could not relate to them, they had not seen and done what he had. They had not experienced the judgment of being called a murderer so young.
"Ja. Ich war geboren in Berlin, aber genauso wie ich weiterführende Schule angefangen habe, die wir zu Nümberg bewegt haben. Mein Vater und ich hatten unsere Motorfahrräder nach München ein paar Zeiten genommen, Familie zu besuchen." *Yes. I was born in Berlin, but just as i started secondary school we moved to Nümberg. My father and I used to take our motor bikes to Munich a few times to visit family.*[/sup] He said in his low voice toward the famous Nightcrawler. He'd so wanted to see one of the shows but he was far too young and despite the posters still hanging: the increadible Nightcrawler no longer performed for the masses. Such a shame, a talent was a talent no matter where it was put.
Sure, being an x-man was something exciting, but Japser himself wondered if performing as some sort of freak would make him an easier person to be around while in public. As before in Nümberg as soon as his mutation was known and spread throughout his home area, the messages to meet friends ended, people would cross the street to avoid him and even some brave idiots tried to take a swing at him. They where the ones that ended up with broken bones and disjointed limbs after really getting him angry. But Onyx hated it.
His train of thought suddenly vanished at the reappearence of Dazzler, not a scratch on her and a beaming smile that could literally have melted a stone heart. His mouth picked up gently at the side. Something about this beautiful blonde lady made him feel more at ease, be it her lack of pushiness or understanding and acceptance of his state of mind on the journey to this tower; she calmed him down quite well, even if his mind was sitting low on the ground in an almost depressed mannor. Answering the German X-man first, Onyx took on a thoughtful look, thinking to all the journeys to Munich with his father and all the places they ate at. He could not clearly think of many as it was not something the two men did often, they usually stayed at his aunts and never left the house for anything but to go on a bike ride or to pick up a quick snack.
"Bernard Et Bernard? Jene Bäckerei ist das einzige das ich kann denken an, mein Vater und ich bin um das Gebiet viel nicht gegangen. Er hat nie mir erzählt warum, aber ich habe den harten wat herausgefunden den ich errate..." *Bernard Et Bernard ? That Bakery is the only one i can think of, my father and i didn't go around the area much. He never told me why, but i found out the hard wat i guess ...*[/sup] He said in a thoughtful tone right before he felt arms encircle his waiste. In a little shock, his head looked down sharply to see the pretty Allison Dazzler giving him a hug. 'Though he was not emotionless or heartless he felt strange receiving a hug in such a compulsive manor. Never the less, he enjoyed the worried words from the pretty lady. Nice to be worried over.
"Vielen Dank" *Thank you*[/sup] He grumbled. Acting impulsivly on his own, the tall winged German teen leaned down and moved his arms around the pretty blondes shoulders and giving her a slight squeeze: he couldn't do much else for fear of his movements causing a backlash of the wings he had now gained. He worried also now as to how he looked. Despite the grateful cause of the annoying red head having a disgted attitude toward him now, it made him think that his own appearence had been altered. Not simply the new wings that protruded from his back. "Eet eez nice to know zhat zomevon vas giving a thought. But you also, i vorry zhat you are not as strong as you are, i vorried zhat you vould be hurt. Und zhat ees not good." Jasper felt rather exposed at that second as he mumbled quietly down to The Dazzler. He didn't show any kind of affection to anyone normally. The fact that he even said it was a feat in itself.
Somehow, the notion that she had even given a thought to spare about his wellfare inside that hell of a dimension made the giant teen grin as he let her go and stood up again. His blue eyes gleamed softly while his thoughts moved back to the pretty teacher lady. Hopefully she would stay at the school for a little bit; her jetsetting career and known involvment with other groups meant that he knew having her company would be almost impossible, so he intended to hang on to it for as long as possible. Loneliness got lonely after a while. Onyx at that minute was replacing the hurt feeling that came with the thought of Aideen with the hairy man who was currently consoling her sobbing figure. It almost brought him physical pain and he heaved a small sigh through his nose to hide the thoughts.
With a shake of his head, he set about carrying on the previous conversation: hoping to regain some sort of stance of self containment instead of telling people his feelings. That was just a little too sappy for him. "I vonder eef Bernard und Bernard are steel around, i 'ave not been to Munich een a long time now. I vhas too young to take my bike myself und go all ze vay to Munich to Nümberg, or, zo i vhas told." He said with a thoughtful look on his face again.

Heather was not aware of Veronika's attempt to get Ian to speak to her. In truth, the New Mutant didn't know what to do. She felt that it would be unfair to Lorelai if she gave Ian any friendly attention, but then again it would have been rude not to. So Heather did what she always does, avoid. Avoiding seemed to be a bad idea ever since she first arrived to the Xavier Mansion. She tried to avoid Lorelai at first and that never worked, it only made her stay clear of Ian instead which obviously didn't help. Then she wanted to ignore K'8 since she was being immature when Shadowkat asked Heather to help her out when it came to a stable diet. Then Jumper and Hardlight because Jumper apparently liked her a bit and then Kevin said that she and Jumper were dating.... avoiding never worked.
As she heard Dazzler's response, she gave her and the headmaster a small smile. "Fell better Mr. Summers," she replied softly and continued to seek anyone who needed help. It was then that she heard Ian call out to her and give her a short but meaningful hug. Heather was surprised and hugged him back with equal ardor. It felt incredible to see and feel Ian again for she was so scared for him when he was stuck in LIMBO. "I had to give water to people who were really in trouble," she retorted in half a daze. It would be better for her to explain her awkward behavior to Ian once they were back home and alone. She knew that Lorelai was aware of her crush, it was pretty obvious. And like any girl would, Heather was aware that Lorelai hoped that the crush would pretty soon dissolve and remain a friendship if anything. Only time would tell at this point and Heather smiled widely as Ian told her it was a joy to see her again. "I'm glad you are OK," she said genuinely and then watched him walk back to his girlfriend.
With that, Heather looked around the room to the distressed gang again. Everyone seemed to be alright and had everything they needed. The fact that Aideen was actually crying and showing emotion was a bit of a relief for Heather. When she first encountered her she seemed like those "badass" girls from her school who smoked outside and didn't like to be bothered. Now that everything was OK, Aideen seemed human and just normal.
Heather decided that going back to Veronika would be best and did just that. She wanted to be with a friend and not just stand in the middle of the room like an idiot. Reaching Veronika, Heather sighed and felt the wave of sleep try to overcome her.

Oh, o.k. one or two more and then you can rest girl. Just keep it going little dove she heard Ororo's voice in her head. The memory of her very first team leader still stayed with her. She had seen the woman push herself beyond anything imaginable and it had made an impression in the mind of a young HeartString. Storm had been like a mother to her, and a great confidant. It never mattered what Tracy might have told her, she wouldn't reveal it to anyone and that kind of example stays with a young girl.
"Sure Kevin" she said to him. She preferred to use people's real names instead of their code-names when she was healing, and most times actually. She wasn't for all of the weirdness that the school sometimes dumped on the kids, but who was she to say anything about it. She did her part, and her part had become so much more needed lately. It seemed to her that she was always on a plane or in some secured medical room or doing triage on a battlefield of some sort. The problem was that the war against mutants was spilling over into places that wars should never go. To schools and restaurants and playgrounds and libraries and any number of places where regular folks just were. It was getting out of hand she thought, but she kept up her end of the deal...she had the power to heal and there were a lot of people out there in the world with the power to hurt- human and mutant alike.
Tracy hated this part of things. Not the dealing with the kids part, but the kids always thought they were the reason why things happened. She could feel the guilt in poor Hardlight as he had stepped over asking for help. This was not his fault and yet she could tell he blamed himself. "Come over here and I'll fix you up. I see you walking funny let me just place my hand on you- don't worry-" she could sense him tensing up and she thought he probably expected her to want to look at his wounds. "I don't have to touch the wounds, just you and then my power will work, relax I won't hurt you. My power is for healing only." Her voice rang crystal clear with the conviction of truth.
It took hardly no time whatsoever for her to heal the little man and yet, she knew that even as his flesh was all better, his emotions were not. He was all full of sadness and guilt and confusion. Tracy tried to pick her way through the different emotions but she couldn't as they were far to tightly entangled. Piled up and heaped upon and through each other, like hair that was all knotted up, and his shame was covering it all in a shroud.
"That should feel much better, at least on the outside, but I know you're still hurting inside. Give it time, you need to process what you've been through. No one is expecting you, or anyone else to get over what you went through, so take your time and let yourself feel and understand the feelings before you try to work on dealing with them. That time will come, don't try and hide from what you feel, you know better Kevin, you have always listened to your heart haven't you?" Tracy didn't know the boy well at all and yet she had an understanding of him. He was openly gay and that took courage in her estimation.
Having dealt with Hardlight she looked to see Mason, still standing there. His eyes must not have left her, and she wondered if they had. "If that's the last I guess I'm going to stretch my legs. Anybody else just come and find me." She said in a voice that had somewhat of a commanding tone, but also an undertone of concern. Standing she walked over to face Mason and she looked him in his eyes and cleared her throat softly. "Hi...penny for your thoughts?" she said to him with a slight flirt in the tone as she raised her bottle of water and took a sip.

"Yea Cyclops that's what I meant. Lose track of time what with Limbo, ya know," Carol said with a chuckle. Looking up as the two young girls were passing around water and cereal bars, she heard Shadowkat ask around about the girl Elixir. Being one of the last to leave Limbo, she had seen what happened at the end of it all, and she walked over to her. "Kitty...." she started, her face having lost the light humor it held a minute ago, "Elixir is dead. Her wounds were too great and she seemed to have lost the will to live. I saw that Thor took both her and American Dream to Asgard before I left Limbo. I'm sorry," she said, her voice sympathetically grave. She placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a light squeeze, her face holding a concerned look.
If anything though, Carol figured Thor had some sort of plan for the little girl if he took her with him to Asgard. However, when it came to what it was she hadn't a clue.

Kitty looked around expectantly and hopefully as she waited for someone to give her some sort of answer. Not knowing was driving her crazy, and she started taking a couple steps around where she stood. She looked up when Heather came by and nodded graciously for the bottle given to her. "Thank you Heather, I'm glad to see you helping out," she said, and drank deeply the cool water. It was so refreshing and she had gotten quite parched while in Limbo.
It didn't take her long to finish it off, and as she put the empty bottle on a nearby table Carol came over. Already Kitty was expecting the worst with the way the Avenger started, and sure enough she got it. She froze for a minute as the words sunk into her head. "W-what? She's dead? Lost the will to - she died? Didn't Tracy try to heal her?" she asked, her eyes starting to water almost immediately. "I-I thought.. well hoped she'd be okay. Dead? No," she stuttered, shaking her head slightly as a hand went to her temple. She's dead....I failed her. No, how could I have failed her? She was my responsibility, my team member. How could I have let her get taken away from me by those demons? I should've watched her more, not let her out of my sight or my grasp...if I hadn't she'd still be here, she thought while a few tears started rolling down her face. The squeeze on her shoulder did little to comfort her; she had failed as a team leader and teacher to protect her students.
Looking down, she shook her head again, sniffling. "I should've done more - she'd still be here. I should've protected her more, should've done something. One of mine," she mumbled, her voice growing lower as she tried to maintain some kind of composure. A few more tears slid down her face as she rested a hand on the nearby table for support. I hope Emma and Cyclops can forgive me... no, how could they? It was my job to protect and watch who were with me, and I failed Elixir most of all, she thought to herself, her fingers massaging her temples while she tried to breathe calmer. Not even the fact that Thor had taken her to Asgard made her feel much better; the fact that she had let her charge die was the only thing she had caught from Ms. Marvel.

Sean kept his arms around Kate, resting his chin on top of her head. "I can't imagine going what you went through Katie girl. I myself can't even imagine what it would be like to meet myself as an elder," he said and held her tight. He had been so scared for her when he thought she would become a demon Queen and not be the girl he just got lucky enough to meet. Sean glanced down at her in his arms and smiled slightly. "That's cause your powers are amazing Katie girl, like you. I'm so darn proud of ya little lady. You stood up to yourself! Now that right there is a hard thing to do," he said kissed her uninjured cheek.
"We do gotta get fixed you fixed up Katie girl. But first I think we both can use a bit to eat," Sean added as he He walked with her to the table with the cereal bars and handed her the Fruit Loops one. "I'm taken a wild guess with the Fruit Loops, but you can change it if you want. I for one am a chocolate kinda fella," He said and took the chocolate one to munch on, keeping an arm around Kate.
"Now come on, we'll see the good Doctor so he could take a look at you and patch you up. Thankfully we only got a couple of scratches on us," he said as he finished his cereal bar. Sean kissed Kate's forehead lightly and steered her toward Beast. He could use a shower after all this, but for now he was content with getting his cuts cleaned. He could live with the bruises.

Gina had decided that Tracy was doing just fine and so she had stepped back and out of her way. Watching from the sidelines was not her style, she liked the limelight. Not center stage necessarily,but she didn't care for being relegated to the shadows. She had watched the whole thing with the young albino-ish looking girl and the little boy as she had stepped back and away from the drama of the two heads of the school being revived.
Looking around the room she'd seen the little squirt Aqua and her red headed friend as they did their part passing out the water and snacks to the troops. Gina felt a bit of a disconnect with it all, it was a really touching return, but she didn't have too close of ties to anyone that had been stuck there, except for maybe Ms. Frost. She didn't have any malice towards anyone but she felt like such an observer right at the moment, an outsider in a strange way. Being on the Hellions had a tendency to make one set oneself apart.
She looked to Dazzler and Nightcrawler already talking to the boy Onyx, who now was sporting some wings. 'Thats new' she thought. Her eyes panned around the room to see the blue haired girl and her boyfriend who had just picked her up in his arms and swung her around, 'Aaww young love - iddn't dat special' she thought in a silly babytalk way as she pursed her lips into a smirk of sorts 'wonder how long that'll last'. and as she was going to go up to Ironclad and say 'hey' Tracy made her move. "It's about time, good for you girl" she said in a whisper under her breath as she bumped into somebody who was also standing away from the main group.
Gina had been walking sort of backwards and not looking where she was walking. "Oh. Hey sorry-" she said and turning to look saw it was... "- 'scuse me Chief" ...TrueSpirit. "Didn't see you there. Sorry 'bout your umm moccasin there." Decibel pointed down at his foot and shrugged slightly. "You doing the whole 'strong and silent' bit?" she said with a smile. "You uh... liking.. your.... first day here?" She tried to make small talk with a smile and some light conversation but she really was sucky at it so she dropped the act "Aw hell chief I don't know what to say - you mind me callin' you chief?"

K'8 grinned up at him as she took a look at the Fruit Loop bar in her hand and then at the chocolate one in Sean's own. With a cute giggle she reached over and swapped hers out. "I like chocolate too. I'm glad you're a chocolate guy." she said and quickly kissed his cheek "Thank yoooou." she said in a sweet sing songy way as he led her over to see the wonderful blue furry Doctor. "You know, your power is kick as- uh, your power is awesome too. You made a gun! You know how hard that is for anybody else to do? I'm impressed."
She liked how he took care of her, it was a tenderness that you could read about in a book, but was rare in real life. Feeling his kiss on her forehead she looked up at him, her mouth full of chocolate yumminess and grinned. It wasn't the most demure thing to do but D'mnchyld was not demure, she was now at least having fun and not being such a nasty gothy girl. Realizing she was smiling with food in her mouth made her giggle even more as they walked over to see Beast. "Hi, doc. We need some bandaids I think. Nothing too serious. I'm not too beat up, really... how about you?" she asked turning to TuneUp.
