It was the following morning of the Limbo event. Rogue was able to get her night's worth of sleep and indeed felt very refreshed. Of course if she was a teenager she would probably have slept up to two in the afternoon, however there was a mission to accomplish and she wasn't going to miss that.
Last night Colossus, Karma and Rogue agreed to meet in the kitchen by nine A. M. sharp. Rogue of course was on time and she knew they were to arrive in several seconds. They were not tedious and when it came to the issue they had to solve as soon as possible, they wouldn't put it off either.
Getting a cup of coffee, Rogue leaned against the counter and tried to completely wake herself up. She did shower and was fully dressed in case they needed to leave and find the mutant themselves, however that was the problem. Neither of them could; for neither was a telepathic. Only a telepathic was able to control Cerebra, and the only ones strong enough so far were Xavier and Emma, so they were screwed there.

After a rough night's sleep, Colossus came down to the kitchen. He yawned and stretched out his large arms, getting the stiffness of a restless night's sleep out of his muscles. I can't believe that Kitty is in Limbo again. And this time I am not there to help her. I hope she is alright. I hope that my team is alright. The only one who remains is little Shimmer and Nightshade. I should have worked more with Hardlight and prepared him more. Frostbite and Diesel are quite capable, but that does not make me fear for them less. The other student's as well and Scott and Emma of course, he thought as he breathed in the smell of fresh coffee.
Colossus smiled tiredly when he saw Rogue and sat himself at the table. "Good morning Rogue. Is there any more coffee? I could use some very much," he said in his thick Russian accent as he rubbed his eyes. "Is Karma awake yet?" he asked.

"Mornin' Pete, and of course," she replied in her upbeat tone. She was excited to get things ready and find the new mutant as soon as possible. All they needed was Karma to join them and they were ready to get to business. Grabbing a coffee mug, Rogue placed her cup of coffee down and poured some for Colossus. She then gave it to him and continued to drink her own.
"She should be here soon, don't worry Pete everythang with be fine." She gave him an assuring smile for she knew he was thinking about Shadowkat.

Slowly making her way to the kitchen, Xi'an didn't let her thoughts wander from her responsibility to this school. Sure she was worried about the students and teachers in Limbo, but she couldn't let that effect her way of dealing with the situation at hand and that was dealing with what Cerebra had alerted the school to the previous night. Although without Emma there was not a strong enough telepath to work the vast machinery. Never the less they would do everything they where physically able to get the new mutants located and found before any harm befell them in the wrong hands.
She herself had had a very troubled sleep, dreams going to those trapped in the relm of limbo. So as she walked through the doors of the kitchen her tired eyes welcomed the sight of her remaining team mates. "Good morning." she said sleepily, looking at the coffee and smirking she had breakfast in mind first. She was too tired to do much else. "Sorry for being last up." She mumbled slowly as she walked toward the cupboard to fetch some cereal. Breakfast was after all, the most important meal of the day.

The sound of slow scuffling feet could be heard down the hall outside the kitchen. Ariel may have looked like she was ready to seize the day, but she wouldn't feel like that until she had some coffee. And the smell of it wafting from the kitchen drew her there immediately. She saw that Colossus, Karma, and Rogue were already there and she nodded to each of them. "Morning guys," she greeted while walking to the cabinet to get herself a mug. She poured herself some coffee, made it just the way she liked it, and took a seat at the table.
Ariel took a sip and looked at the teachers with pursed lips. "So what's on the agenda today? Gonna round up the other students for another meeting or what?" she asked, sipping on her coffee again. Already she was feeling more awake, and ready for whatever the lovely fates would choose to throw at her today.

*THUMP* *THUMP* *BANG* *BOOM* *KRANK* *BOI-OING!*
"WAAAaaHAHOOOOOOooo!"
Kelly Burn's voice echoed through the halls with the noise in the hallways as he rode his sleigh down the stairs. "This is my greatest achievement ever!" he yelled as he managed to steer the sleigh toward the kitchen. He just couldn't get it pointing toward the door way. "Wrong way! Wrong way!" Kelly yelled and turned part of the wall into chocolate as he crashed through it.
"That was AWESOME!" he said laughing. "Hahah- Woo I am the coolest EVER!" he said looking up at Rogue, Colossus and Ariel. "Hey do I smell waffles? If I don't CAN I smell waffles?" Kelly hinted as he got up from the sleigh and looked at the bits of chocolate on the floor and the chunk of wall that was covered in broken chocolate. "You think Ms. Frost is gonna be mad?" he asked looking between the chocolate wall and the weird glass light wall.

Seeing Karma finally arrive, Rogue shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. "Don't worry about it darlin' we got bigger fish to fry. Alright so we need to find this new mutant where eva he is, now-" just then Hotwire came into the kitchen and Rogue smiled warmly. "Mornin' Ariel," she replied and then continued to answer the student. "We might have a new student joinin' us soon actually." She turned back to her fellow X-Men and was about to say what was on her mind before Hotwire walked in. However a familiar howl came from outside of the kitchen. To no surprise it was Kelly Burns causing the havoc he always caused.
"Mr. Burns," Rogue said with a nod and another sip of her coffee. She rolled her eyes in her mind for doing it in front of a student was unprofessional. "Well when Ms. Frost returns I would assume she would give you the answer to that." Rogue wanted to say "if Ms. Frost" however couldn't. They were going to be back and she knew it. Emma was one of the strongest people Rogue knew. Heck she was in pieces during her diamond form and Hank was able to put her back together. Rogue could only hope and pray the Limbo gang would be back safe and sound.
"Back to what I was saying," she said to Karma and Colossus. "Karma, do you think you could use Her?" she emphasized "her" so Karma would know she meant Cerebra.

Unable to help chuckling, Ariel rolled her eyes at her teammate's entrance. "Make your own waffles, Kelly, no one's going to cook you some," she answered, shaking her head as she looked to Rogue. "A new student? Who's going to use Cerebra to find them without Frost?" she asked, knowing from the past research she had done before in her free time about Cerebra. It took a telepath to use it, and a telepath none of them were. And the only one around was off in Limbo fighting for her life.
"You guys want any help if and when you go to find this new kid? If you need a hand, I've got nothing better to do," she offered, sipping at her coffee again with a silent sigh. She'd jolt herself awake with a shock of her own lightning, but she put work into her look and rathered not looking like a zapped mess. Ariel learned a while ago that it's better to wake up slowly and take your time with how you want to look rather than be awake in a jiffy and have crazed out hair.

Colossus sipped his coffee, smiling when little Jenny came in to get some cereal. "Ah this coffee is just what I need," he said as he took a sip of the hot liquid before he added a ton of sugar and heavy cream to the cup. He smiled at Karma and Ariel tiredly as he sipped his coffee to try and be more awake. "We can assemble a group to find him when we get the-" Colossus was interrupted when he heard crashing and banging from the stairs, the sound of stuff breaking and Calorie's unmistakable voice yelling.
He rolled his eyes tiredly and watched as he crashed through the chocolate wall, sending pieces of chocolate flying everywhere. A large chunk landed in his coffee and some hit him, as well as the others. "Kelly Burns! Emma told you that you are not to do anything more than walk down the stairs! And look at this wall and this mess! You can be sure Emma and Cyclops will hear about this," Colossus said loudly. When Calorie first came to the school, he had to admit that it was rather amusing. He had to hold back laughter when Emma would yell at him for turning the couch to jello and turning the door into a cracker. Now after all this time, it was more tiring than anything else, but he was used to it by now. A wonderful way to start off the day, he thought as he stirred the chocolate into his coffee.
Colossus looked at Rogue with a raised eyebrow. Usually she was the first one to give the students a piece of her mind when they did something stupid. Must be very very tired if her fiery personality is dulled, he thought before looking back at Calorie. "You will be expected to clean all that up. And you are quite capable of making your own food," he said sternly since someone had to be. "Now as Ariel said, we must find out how to use cerebra. It will be dangerous for a non-telepath to use it. Karma, you are the closest we have, but I fear you will not have the strength to pull through it," he said and placed his hand on her shoulder.

For a first night at a new school, Kirs had slept somewhat exceptionally well. His room was empty 'though there was a good set of clothes folded away so he guessed he was one of those trapped in Limbo. Such a shame that really; to be trapped in some weird dimension place. Not that he had really been paying attention, some of the older male students in this 'school' where too good looking to not pay attention to. That native American looked rather tasty last night, as did the tall blonde. The loud one sitting by The Dazzler was appealing too although Kris hadn't gotten too good a look at him.
There was time though, there was time. He would find his preference soon enough and in good time perhaps more men would join. It would be good to find some strong muscular ass to dream of: but strangely enough Kris was more of a timid kind of seeker. He liked the mechanistic idea of protecting his partner. Martial arts did that to him.
For now, breakfast would do him some good. He was tired after the long flight from England and right now it was somewhere around the 2pm time, so he had been rather peckish for some time. His bodily clock not quite ready for the sudden time changes. Padding down the stairs toward the kitchen he had seen on his map of the school, the smartly dressed teen walked through the door, the wall beside it looked -and smelled- quite like chocolate and had a large gap in it. "I do hope someone'll fix that, the brown does not go with that yellow wall there." The very thick Northern English voice said, a finger pointing toward the large bright side of the kitchen wall. He wasn't camp, but he knew that brown and yellow where not winter colours.

Yeah, we all get hungry.
Tia bit her lip, as she made her way down to the kitchens. It'd been a while since she'd woken up, but she wasn't keen on leaving her bedroom, the thought of all those people in the limbo was haunting her. She could've helped... but it was all too much for her to understand. There was far too much going on, she couldn't keep up with it all, she'd ended up being a part of the students left behind, but that still didn't spare her from the partial-guilt, of not being able to help, to be able to do anything.
She tried to push the thought away, as she entered the kitchens. She'd thought a bit of breakfast may do her some good. She'd expected to see the place empty, or more or less hoped, but seemed like her wishes weren't going to be coming true. She resisted herself from rolling her eyes as she looked out at the two people there, the crowd wasn't actually that big, but for her, it was. Seeing she stuck to her room most of her free time, she didn't know many people. To be honest, she hadn't made a single friend here.
She knew she ought to. But she hadn't. As she paid slightly more detail to the surroundings, she noticed a bit of the furniture and the walls was turned into food. What the hell? She pushed the thought away, feeling slightly embarrased, seeing she was in the room with two strangers. She shifted her eyes from the first to the other, both guys. Hallelujah! Sarcasm really was amazing, wasn't it?

It had been a grueling evening in the Danger Room. Rogue had decided to make them all pay. For what, the Shade was not quite sure, but they joined with the rest of their team. Hunger, gnawing, aching, burning the pit of the stomach. Waking and bathing, dressing and looking for the rest of the Hellions on the way down the stairs. They watched from the landing as the three teachers had gone down into the chromed hallways of the sub-basement. Comfort in the shadows
This hunger annoys us, the Shade thought smelling a pot of coffee and an overwhelming aroma of chocolate. "It's gonna go away as soon as we eat" Stephen spoke under his breath. "It's not like the hunger I always feel from you." Rounding the corner a figure emerged from kitchen. As she passed on the way to the TV room he knew they knew her as the Corsair, Hotwire.
As Stephen entered the kitchen they saw another Corsair, Calorie, and knew at a glance that the wall that was now chocolate and broken apart had been the doing of him, Kelly Burns. He rolled their eyes and stepped gingerly around the mess. There was another in the room, a younger boy. He literally glowed with vitality and life essence. Another was there, a girl who looked to be young like the boy. Their eyes, the eyes of the entity known as the Shade, drifted past everyone in the room as Stephen maneuvered them to get a bowl and fill it with cereal. The Shade, Stephen Lynch, was not one to be sociable but the young boy did attract his eyes for far longer than the others though.

"MMMMmmmMMMmmm, i think i'll nab myself a good mug of tea this morning, a boy needs his caffeen rush" Kris walked toward the counter where a kettle of boiling water was already sitting in wait. Somethings in a foreign school weren't so bad if there was a cup of tea behind it all. Being English he laughed at stereotypical people, his idea of humour was very hypoctirical at times but who was to care so early in the morning; he wanted his energy boost. "Anyone want to get rid of that horrible concoction you people call Coffee and join me in some good ol' earl grey?" He chuckled with a teasing wink at the cute girl who had walked in behind him. Being in a new and unknown environment somehow made the normally shy boy more outspoken and cheeky than before.
"Well cutie, whats your poison this morning?" He asked the shadow like figure to who Kris swore wasn't there only a second ago. His offer was toward everyone, but sometimes it was good to at least try and single people out in conversations, people got to know each other quicker that way.
While making himself a mug of tea which he found stashed away in the back of the cupboards - which where needing organized badly - Kris found himself sneaking glances at the hot light brunette who looked strong enough to do some kind of damage if forced. He was pretty darn cute; the silent guy too had a sort of 'bad boy' aura of it. It was hot if you aksed Kris, both of them. Still, better not blow his cover yet.

Kelly had been grumbling as he cleaned up the broken bits of chocolate everywhere into a big black garbage can, occasionally breaking a piece off the wall and eating it. "Man why do I always have to do this? How was I supposed to know that you can't steer a sled in the house that well?" he mumbled when some kid with a weird accent came in, followed by some girl and Shade. Kelly look at the weird kid funny when he heard him keep talking. "Hey kid something's wrong with your voice. Do you got one of those braces things in your mouth that make you talk weird? Or did someone like punch you really hard in the mouth? I can't understand anything you're saying man," he said with a weirded out look on his face.
Looking over at the chick that came in, Kelly scratched his head as he swept some more pieces of chocolate in the bag. "What's with you? You look like someone pissed in your cereal. Oh wait its that 'time of the month' right?" he said making quotation marks in the air at the angry looking silent girl. Man people in this school get weirder and weirder. It's a good thing I'm here to keep things normal, he thought as he grabbed another piece of chocolate from the wall.
"Shade! Hey guess what I finally did? I took this sled and went down the stairs with it! See I still have my helmet. It was my greatest achievement ever," Kelly babbled to the Hellion. He didn't care that Shade never cared for him too much, Kelly thought he was a riot and continued talking. "You think Frost will be mad about the chocolate wall? What if I make her a cake? That will help I think."

Tia shrugged the embarrasment away, who cared if she didn't know them? She made her way towards the kettle, before realising, that one of the boys was boiling some water in there. Great, she'd just have to wait. She stopped herself from rolling her eyes, as she leaned back against the counter, standing there, her face patient, yet indifferent. She noticed the boy by the kettle shoot her glances. Why couldn't people just mind their own buisness?
She pushed the thought away, she couldn't be bothered concerning herself with others. She was getting good at controlling what to say and what not to say, she was getting better at keeping her thoughts to herself. A small smile twitched on her lips, 'cause of her thought, thoug it dissappeared just as quickly due to the other boy speaking. "What's with you? You look like someone pissed in your cereal. Oh wait its that 'time of the month' right?" Tia stood stunned for a moment, blinking at the boy like she'd probably punch his face. He seemed to speak again, though not to her, to someone else. Someone who Tia hadn't actually noticed comming in.
She wasn't actually that pissed off, she'd been working on her temper lately too, but who didn't get annoyed by a comment like that? She raised an eyebrow. "Speak to me like that again, and you'll be flying through that wall you're eating." she snapped at the boy. He was asking for it, she would've been slightly nicer, if he'd kept some manners while speaking. She crossed her arms across her chest, still leaning against the counter, before turning her head towards the other boy, her hair falling on one side of her face, as she breathed, trying to maintain her calm. Well, half-calm.
