A big grin formed on Alison's face at Kurt's charming words. A delighted smile formed on her face when he kissed her hand. "My you Germans are just natural born charmers aren't you?" She said blowing him a kiss just before he BAMFed away. Always the charmer and never fails to make me blush, she thought with a touch of pink.
Ali looked at Onyx and winked. "Darlin' you don't have to worry about me. I'm the Dazzler, I'm always alright. And when I'm not I will be," she said and looked over at Hank. He was busy patching up the two kids and concentrating on them. A soft smile came on her face before she listened to Tony, who looked fresh and clean. "After that hell, a shower sounds wonderful. Hot air is good for the skin and all, but not if it stinks that bad," Ali said with a laugh and grabbed Onyx gently by the arm.
"Come on Charmer, you look like you could use some sleep too," she said and looked back at Kitty and Hardlight, the two that weren't being patched up. "You two darlin's coming? We can snag the next elevator," she called to the darling little boy and Kitty. Ali wanted to go on the elevator anyways, to distract Onyx a bit from the fire girl that he was infatuated with. "Oh I can definitely use some sleep. I haven't slept since I got back and the jet lag is really starting to hit me," she said and yawned daintily, covering her mouth.

"Yea, I need to wash up a bunch myself, I smell and i feel kinda" his lips quivered just reel slightly "well, kinda dirty all over." He followed thems to the elevater and waited for it to open up for them.
BING it made the noise when it opened up and Kevin got in still with his blanket wrapped around him. He would ask to keep the blanket he thought because it was there for him when he needed it, he wanted to keep warm and safe and because Diesel had gave it to him. "You guys coming?" he asked. His mind thinking back to the demons that had touched him and put there mouths full on him.
He shuttered at the thoughts and shook his head "Uhhh." he said a noise when he did and he didn't mean to make the sound, but it just came out. "Yeasirry-bob I need a shower and some sleep." he knew it sounded stupid and kind of a hick thing to say, but he tryed to cover for making the noise and he was from Nebraska of all places, maybe nobody would notice how silly it sounded.

Hank was patching up the two children when Tony came in to announce the sleeping arrangements. He just finished cleaning the cut on D'mnchyld's cheek and both the kids were all patched up. TuneUP had some bruising here and there and both were a little scratched up, but nothing that wouldn't heal within a day or two. All their cuts were cleaned and a shower would make them feel like new. "Alright you two are all done. Now go shower and get some sleep, doctor's orders," Hank said with a smile as he watched everyone leave.
He saw Tony come back into the room, with a nod at Hank and a serious look in his eyes. Hank knew him well enough to know what the look meant. He looked over at Kitty who lookd like she was getting ready to leave. "Kitty, could you, Alison and Kurt keep an eye on the children? The rest of us will be down in a moment," Hank said with a look that asked her not to question.
He looked back at Tony and wondered what this was about. 'He knows how tired we all are... he wouldn't keep us back unless he felt it was something we had to know right away. This will no doubt be interesting...' Hank thought as he waited patiently.

A couple more tears ran down Kitty’s face as Carol hugged her. She returned it with one arm, and watched the Avenger went to leave with Iron Man. She wiped her eyes and sniffled, still in disbelief, sadness and shame while she watched the students start leaving in pairs. Soon it was just her, Hardlight, and the others. Blinking more tears away, she wiped them off of her cheeks and looked to Beast when he addressed her. “Okay. No problem,” she answered. Turning, she headed toward the elevator.
Her fingers massaged one temple as she gave a curt nod to the ones who remained in the lab and waited for the elevator with Alison and the young Acolyte, muttering quietly, “Coming.” She exhaled, just trying to breathe right. When the elevator door opened, she stepped in and leaned against the wall, hanging her head while still trying to breathe normally. It did little to help since her thoughts were plagued with how her own charge was dead and gone, and she had died while under her watch. It made her a horrible leader for that, she couldn’t be there to save her, and it was because she was so focused on everything else. She should’ve done more to watch over her, like she had done for k’8 and Sean. If only, she thought to herself as the elevator went to the floor where everyone was to stay. Kitty planned to have a shower, but didn’t plan to sleep. Even if she wasn’t told to watch the kids with Alison and Kurt, she wouldn’t be able to.

"Thank you kindly Doctor. You sure fixed us up real nice," Sean said and wrapped an arm around Kate. "We sure can use that huh Katie girl? Thanks again Doctor and sleep well everyone!" he called as he walked with her towards the door. "Hey hold the elevator ya'll. We're coming!" he called to the people that were already in the elevator.
Before they left the lab, Sean reached over and grabbed a couple more of the chocolate bars. He winked at Kate and grabbed her to get to the elevator. "Well, we're just a chocolate kinda pair. May as well stick to that," he said with a big grin as he handed her one and unwrapped one for himself. He'd save the others for later. "I reckon that this has been the most interesting first day at the school than I could have ever imagined. It was a little hot and scary, but what's life without a bit of excitement?" Sean said with a chuckle as he looked down at Kate. Both of them looked a mess, but he thought she was so adorable.
This whole ordeal was not something Sean ever expected to go through. Just two days ago he had been helping his dad herd the cows into pasture. Now he had literally been through hell and back, fighting to stay alive and forming a bond with a girl that was unlike any other that he had ever known in his life. It wasn't bad though and he wanted to see where it would go from here. Well one thing I know for sure. I ain't ever gonna forget all this. And I'm really looking forward to see what tomorrow brings, he thought grinning at Kate when they got on the elevator.

Jasper tried to let a smile come over his face as he watched the gentle and polite conversation going on between the amazing Nightcrawler and the beautiful miss Dazzler. The way in how they managed to engage him in a civil conversation was in a sense very soothing and calming to the giant blonde child. It wasn't normally that he smiled, even less that he give a proper full hearted grin. It would probably hurt him to do so at this point in his life. Still, it was good to see that people where making an effort at least and accepted him as someone able to be spoken to. Without thinking them as a freak, or in his case now a demon.
It almost made him happy enough to forget the sense of rejection that was incapacitating his mind every time he looked over at the gorgeous fire wieleder. He was indeed jealous of the feral looking man she was wrapped in, how he was who she went to for comfort. Had he been in any less of a clear head he would have toyed with the idea of attacking the man in private, but something about how Aideen held herself around him made the teenage German think twice.
Where he to hurt him, it would hurt her, and that would hurt himself even more than the simply rejection of not even being an after thought in the girls mind while she had been on every trail of thought he had came up with on the trip to the Avengers Tower. It was unfair in more levels than Jasper even dare think about, he was not some sort of emotional wreck. This was the first time rejection had hit him from any sort of unrequited feeling, so it was all the more painful. But he would not show his weakness, Aideen was strong, Mss Dazzler was strong, Mr Beast the increadible Nightcrawler where strong. As would he be.
As Nightcrawler took his leave from them, he smirked gently at the comment from the pretty miss Dazzler. Germans? Naturally charming? Jasper for one was the very opposite, he drove people away -scaring them was also a habit- but he was not one to be very social in the least.
Having held a conversation at all would usually have been a worrying thing for him as he always became aggrivated with everyone around him, those that never seemed to shut their mouths for more than the time to breath in. It really angered him that anyone would be that rude, as it was increadibly so to forget that others too have thoughts and oppinions. Never the less it was good to see someone with a good sense of kindness in them as miss Dazzler had to have stayed and kept him calm.
"Per'aps Mizz Dazzler, but eet could seemply bee zhat vhey vant to charm you. Obviously anyvon vith ze presence of ze Dazzler vould vhant to be on zeir best be'aviour." He mumbled with a shake of his hair, reaching a hand up slowly to simply run it through. A small crackling sound hissed in the buzzing room that was very quickly leaving. Apparently not all of the dark matter disapated, never the less a good steaming shower sounded almost like heaven at that point.
He was one of those not long in the relm but he too felt the results of such a humid atmosphere.Though he was not one to be affected as badly by the either the temperature change or the sand in as Nghtcrawler had put it so graphically 'places which he did not know had places'; but the loss of such a power surge was slightly draining. Like it was more effort to move here than it was in Limbo. Shame, that place held no true home for him as much as did this relm.
Nodding quickly at the mention of sleep, Onyx hung his head a little and took a quick glance at the now retreating figure of Aideen, sleep would only prove more hurtful in the way of bringing thoughts which he was not terribly fond of. Still, he had been given an order, even if it sounded more as request the intent was very much laced in the words. He had pulled an all nighter, even more than that as he had been up that morning early to take a wander around the school.
That was when he saw her too, why was everything relating back to Ember? She did not have the earth revolving around her beautiful head of brown hair. Sleep would make him dream, dreaming would only increase the ever growing sensation of heartbreak. Even if he would not admit it to anyone, he was crushed at the lack of even acknowledging his presence in the lab. So much for getting her out for to make up for being such an ass to her.
With a look over at the remaining few people left in the lab, Jasper felt the stinging at his blue gleaming eyes become noticeable and he nodded dumbly at the pretty miss Dazzler. "ja, sleep vould be very good right now, zhis 'as been a long day und more. You you especially i vould zay." He mumbled, running a hand through his hair again as the two walked toward the elevator.
Turning around again, he looked to miss Kitty and the tiny boy from the bedroom next to his, he felt a terrible sense of guilt in him as he looked at the tiny figure of a boy. He couldn't help but feel bad for having yelled at him the previous night, but what was to be done; he was not the best pleased about being here as did many people taken from one country and taken to another which uses a different language.
"'opefully, zhis vhille do us some good, ja? Ze leetle boy und mizz Keety look tired also, i vish zhat ve 'ad gotten 'ere sooner mizz Dazzler, vhe should have been 'ere sooner to help zhem." He mumbled quietly, straightening his posture so his remaining inches of height where more obvious beside the pretty blonde celebrity. He didn't care to get an answer to that specific phrase. Right now all he wanted was a wishfully dreamless sleep and to wake up and go for another run after getting back to the school. He never thought he would be glad to see that building again.
Whatever he felt about that place now, he would need to get over in terms of negativity. That school was him sanctuary in a way, he would be surrounded by others that would anger him yes, that was an understandable thing but also it was somewhere where he felt normal in a way. He was not more different than any of the other students there. The main problem for him now would be getting back and having to try and stay from sight of the others. Perhaps sitting in his room would prove effective.
He was always good at running away from people when he was in no mood for social activities. Even miss Dazzler may struggle to make him at ease back with the rest of the students. The trip back would not be the most pleasant either, as he would have to listen to so many conversations around him; need to try and physically block out the noise they made with their insensate chit chatting. It was infuriating.
Still. For now, a shower and bed seemed like heaven. He for a few hours would be able to retreat from a conscious mind and drift happily in a place where even he was not a freak. "Hurry, vhe vant to get zhe showers before zhe ozhers take over und vhe dont even get to be close." He said, speaking out over to Hardlight, smirking a little. It was close to a smile. Close, but not quite.

"Mato, huh? I like that name, it has a strength to it. I think I'll call you by name, if that's cool with you, since I don't like following in Ironclad's footsteps." she smiled flirtatiously up at him as he offered out his arm to escort her. "Thanks, Mato. I think you're going to fit right in at the school." Gina said with a lilt in her voice.
As they walked out to go downstairs to clean up and take their rest she mentioned casually "When we get back to the mansion I'll show you around the place. You didn't even hardly get in the door before we left to come here, poor thing. Don't worry, you'll feel right at home before you know it." she tugged at his arm slightly as she winked at him.

Cyclops stood holding his girl, thankful that they were both home and safe. He regretted much in his life and counted every mistake he had ever made as mark against him. It would be quite a long list to answer for when he did finally meet his maker, and now he added to it the loss of Guardian. It was his burden to bear, and he would shoulder it along with all of the other black marks on his soul, but right at this moment he considered himself blessed. To be alive, to be loved and with the woman he loved was more than he probably deserved.
He waited, watching as everyone left. When all of the students had filtered out of the lab Scott turned to Ironman and spoke, finally finding his voice after the long moment of repose. Asking him "So what is that look all about Tony?" He had seen the sideways glance the Avenger had given to Beast. Hope this isn't going to involve registering all of our kids with SHIELD... or worse. We've had a long enough day without a bunch of bureaucratic red tape to wrap it in, he thought. "I don't think I like it." Cyclops said to him.

Tony waited till the rest of them were out the door and it was just Beast, Emma, Cyclops and Wolverine in the room. He shut the door and looked at the X-Men with a rather casual look on his face. "Sorry for keeping you all, I know you need sleep and a shower and a cigar or something," he said glancing at Wolverine before looking back at the others.
"And well to be honest I don't think you all will like it. When Henry came into the building with you Junior X-Men and X-Men, one of them had a wire on them that was a direct transmission. Had it jammed the second I was notified," Tony said with a raised eyebrow at the two Heads of the Mutant school. "It was traced to the little red head's necklace." His glance went right to Emma. "So you got Kudinov's sweet little girl huh? His famous little Angel that he always brags about. Isn't a bit risky to have her around all your kids?" he asked and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I just thought you should know that one of the kiddies got a wire on her, and I'm betting there's more where that came from," Tony said with a knowing look, that turned thoughtful in a moment. "Question is, did she know about it? Kid seemed sweet enough, but how in the dark is she about her old man?"

"I've dealt with his kind before. How best to uproot a family tree, dig up the roots? Not when they're buried in a mess of pre-cold war intrigue." Emma looked at each of the assembled, revealing just a little of what so many years of devious dealings had taught her, showing ever so slightly the fringe of her dark side. "No, gentlemen. I think this will take more cunning than that. My sources in the Hellfire Club tell me he's got designs on the position of Lord Imperial. He's no mutant so to bring his plans to fruition he's going to have to use the girl to make his play for power."
"I wont let that happen to her. I have been down that road and I plan on heading him off at the curve." She licked her lips, still not 100% after the ordeal in Limbo. "Risky? Yes, but I had her pegged from the moment she walked in the mansion. She might not know the extent of her father's desires, or the depths of his depravity, but she has got some ideas of his power and influence and I believe she is quite comfortable in his world. It is my hope that she become more comfortable in ours. Thus we will yank the Kudinov family tree out of it's entrenched position, root and all, by the strength of it's fresh young willful green limb. Angel she may appear, and an angel she may yet prove to be, but let us not forget the old adage of keeping one's enemies closer than one's friends."

"Kudinov? Hmmmm-" Wolverine said under his breath as he listened to Emma. Her words falling into his ears like snowflakes on the wind as the name rang a bell in his mind. Memories from a lifetime ago. It was snowing then he recalled. It was the 1940's, Russia. He could see the cottage in the distance, smoke lifting gently from the chimney, the woman in the doorway, her beautiful face.
God, she looked just like her he thought. Younger sure, but the same eyes, the same lips. Could it be the same Kudinov family? Could she be the Granddaughter? No that's not possible....that was just after the war, she'd have to be her GREAT-Granddaughter then. Oh Logan you old fool... should have known better then...but, aw hell, youth is the time for mistakes. Wolverine cleared his throat
"This is Family business Emma, how dirty are you willing to get?" he asked knowing something more now than he wanted to let on. His question held a double meaning, but he was sure he did not want to reveal it, not until he made certain for himself what his heart already knew to be true.

Hank looked a bit surprised as Tony made his discovery about the little red head known. "Well, this is certainly interesting. I had wondered why you allowed the girl to come to the school, given who her father's well known reputation. Though I must say I did have my hope, she was as sweet as can be," he said recalling how concerned she was about the others and offered to help on the spot. "A shame really that appearances can fool one so easily, though my better judgment does agree with you on this one Emma."
Hank watched as Wolverine left the room with a look of intent on his face. He shook his head and looked back at the other three. "I think we should all take a position of caution when dealing with the girl's family. Which reminds me, when she was dropped off today, the trucks that dropped her off caused a rather interesting incident involving Mr. Faulk's van and one of their own. It caused a rather large and unnatural explosion. This," he said as he took out his pocket the piece of a weapon with STARK and a serial number on it. "Was found at the scene. Tony, I think it would be wise for you to trace your company's products." Hank handed it to Tony and nodded at him as Tony left the room with the piece and a very unhappy look on his face.
"He always was quite a stickler for keeping track of all his shipments and monitoring his buyers," Hank commented to Cyclops and Emma. "Now, on our way down I can tell you what you missed. Well it seems that while I was in the lab, there was a whole other situation on top involving your team Emma..." he began as they headed down to the eleventh floor for a well earned and badly needed shower and sleep.
