Hearing and seeing Haven bothering her again, Heather was just too tired to say anything back. She ignored her and just let the bitch have her glory. For whatever reason Haven still had the ability to be rude and obnoxious when she nearly sent the entire school to LIMBO because of her own stupid reasons. Heather didn't like the white haired mutant and she had no problem showing that. Seemed that Haven had the same idea.
Looking to Lorelai, she was about to stand up and sit next to Veronika. But once again Veronika thought of a way to let Heather stay next to her crush. She sighed and rolled her eyes again to the red head and remained in her seat.
As Mr. Summers spoke, she gave her undivided attention. He was someone Heather admired very much and he deserved her respect. Finally they were going home and Heather closed her eyes as Veronika spoke to the other three, unable to wait for them to land and get home. She really wanted to call her dad now and tell him (some of) what happened.

Gina stopped plucking and picking at her guitar strings when Cyclops began his speech. She wasn't all that into him as a teacher, or a leader. Not that he wasn't good at it, but she had been literally 'raised' by Ms. Frost in her team of Hellions. She and her team mates had been Emma's own personal hit squad from time to time, so Scott in her eyes was like watered down skim milk. His words just never carried much of a 'punch' for the budding rockstar, but she gave him the respect of listening none the less.
Raising an eyebrow at what he had said, Gina nodded her head slightly as she looked across the aisle to Mato. She could see the roof dome opening up out the window as she looked at him. The sunlight was wonderful and it lit the Native American from behind as the afternoon sun cast his beautiful profile into silhouette. This guy is hot she thought as out of the corner of her eyes she caught the scene between Mason and Tracy beginning to bubble up into something like... Holy what !?! - Is that romance?
The sounds of the boarding ramp closing and the engines starting to cycle up made her wiggle down into her seat slightly. It was a strange sensation, the takeoff of the Blackbird, and Decibel wasn't sure if she liked it or hated it yet. It was akin to a wild sort of roller-coaster, but it just felt like the moment it went from going straight up in the air to flying forward that the whole damn bird was going to fall right out of the sky. She'd have to look at everybody else and see what their faces looked like this time.
Speaking up over the ever increasing sound of the turbines as they spun and the door as it closed she called across to TrueSpirit saying "You'll get what I mean once you meet him, but don't worry he's harmless for the most part. Hey you got a favorite song?" Gina raised up her guitar with a grin and let him know she was gonna sing for him. Just then the ramp-door sealed itself shut and the sound from the engines fell off considerably, only to be replaced by the feeling in everybody's ears of the cabin pressurizing itself. It would only be a few more minutes now and the Blackbird would lift up horizontally and the journey home would start. I hope I know his favorite song she thought.

"Oh, uh-" Kevin looked back at the sound of Loralie's voice "yea, I guess so." He smilled at Ember, the beutiful fire girl and said "Some other flight then?" Turning to go up and sit with Frostbite he was stopped in his tracks when the head teachers of the school came on to the plane.
Hearing his name and knowing he was being looked at and told he was out of place the Acolyte rushed up and got in his seat next to Frostbite and Diesel. "Hey thanks." he whispered as mR.Summers started talking to them all about how he was feeling. Kevin looked up at him and felt a rush filling him, it was a sence of pride and he sat up a little straighter. He wasn't good with 'straight' things as a rule, but he liked to sit straight and have clean pressed clothes and straight smart ties. He was excited about going home and getting dressed up nice for a change. He was wearing somebodys elses clothing and it was way too big, it made him feel and look even smaller and younger than he was.
He was surprised to feel good for a minute and excited too, it was not like Hardlight to feel bad. Not anymore at least since everything had gone carzy in his life before he'd even come to the school. When he told his parents he was gay they made him feel like a stranger in their house. Not talking to him or when they did talk it was in a rough or abusive way. Especialy his dad who took it out on Kevin physicaly and beat him at any reason, sometimes even depantings him to spank him in public. When they found out about him being a mutant it got even worse for a minute until Kevin realised that it couldn't get any worse, not really.
His parents already hated him or at least were embarased by him and he was not cool or tall, even though he was cute he had few friends. He had alot of things against him, but at that point he just said to himself 'Oh Well' and decided to just keep going with a smile on his face. This last thing with the rape was going to be tough to overcome, but he would do his best. It was at least afirming to him to know that he was lusted for, he would start to process it all from that perspective. He was, after all, a 'glass half full' kind of a guy.

Forge put on his earphones and locked all systems for takeoff. "Everyone buckle up. Take off in Three...two...one!" he said as the jet slowly lifted up the ground. With Cyclops taking over the steering, Forge manned the controls for a smooth take off as Stark Tower opened up. "I'm putting the jet in stealth mode... now!" He flipped the Blackbird controls so that they would be cloaked from the eyes of the city that never sleeps.
Out of Stark Towers and into the cold and windy air where it was snowing lightly. "Alright kiddies I'm turning the heat up just a little bit. It's about to get a bit cold in here as we head home. According to the weather tracker we're having some heavy snow in our area. We'll be there right after sunset," Forge announced and glanced over at Cyclops. "Before you start in on me, I won't speed. I'll go at the steady pace you prefer," he said with a smirk as they flew over the busy city.

Ali crossed her legs and smiled at Hank softly as the jet took off. "I'd like that, we can take a trip to the city for a night out," she said with a wink. The jet was a bit noisy when they took off and the entrance opened up. Daz sighed and looked out the window at the Manhattan. She missed the old days when she was singing at the clubs and dazzling the audience up close and personal. Though the outfits I'd never wear today, but I did like those skates, she thought as her eyes took in the city lights and the streets bustling with life.
"Well this certainly brings back memories. After being in London so long, it really made me miss this city. Paris was lovely, as was Milan, Venice, Prague, and Berlin, but none of it compares to the life of this city and the energy from it," Ali said out loud in a dreamy voice, enough for Beast, Emma and Onyx to hear her. "After my European Tour is over, I'm coming back to the states. My agent has me booked to guest appear on a couple of TV shows and I'm singing in a concert hosted by one of the New York Radio Stations," she said and glanced over at the three near her.
"Emma you simply must come and attend. The concert is more for teenagers, but you would have a blast at the After Party. It's supposed to be at the Rainbow Room this year," Ali said with a wink, remembering their encounter there when Emma was still the White Queen. "Though I'm sure this party will have a different ending than our last one huh?" Daz glanced at Hank and winked. "Oh and I'll need a date for that. I rather not go with some hot shot that my agent sets me up with. They are usually so boring," she said with a slight roll of her eyes.

Mato fastened his seatbelt and looked out the window to see the city when it was relatively light out. It looked just as amazing in the daytime as it did at night, and the life in it seemed never ending. In my own village, the entire town is asleep usually on midnight. This is certainly a different world, he thought as he watched it in awe and fascination. I would very much like to visit there one day. Not by myself if I could help it though. I believe that this is much harder to navigate around than my village, Mato said in his mind with amusement.
He looked back at Decibel and smiled at her as she strummed her guitar. "I'd like to hear your choice. Pick the song you know best," he said sitting back to watch her and ready to listen. He did know a few artists and bands, but not many since he rarely listened to the radio or watched television back at his home.
Mato looked around towards the area he could immediately see to try and get a feel how everyone's spirits were fairing. Shadowkat's caring and pleasant seal sat by her feet looking extremely depressed, while Wolverine's snow leopard sat by his feet with his tail swishing, looking conflicted. Emma Frost's crocodile lay calmly at her feet as did Cyclops' lion. Mato tore his eyes away from them to look at Decibel again.

As she smirked at Ember, Haven sat watching the insides of the plane and when Cyclops started his speech her mind began to wander. Weird, I'm having a little trouble remembering people. I knew I didn't like that strawberry pop tart but only now am I recalling that I haven't liked her for a long time...that's Heather...and the kid here, he was in the lab before we went to Limbo....and then... then... ugh, what's up with me. This is like waking from a long ass night of dreaming messed up shit she thought.
It wasn't until the plane lifted up and out of the tower that she seemed to come to her senses. It's probably nothin anyway she shook it off and looked at Aideen. "Yeah, I'm already in trouble. I probably should lay low, but man for some reason I hate that that Aqua. Now it's like there's two of them. Look they're the Strawberry Pop Twins. They probably spent the whole time we were in there out here doing each other's hair or something." She huffed with disgust. "I bet before the weekend gets here they'll be finishing each other's sentences."
"Don't get me wrong. You know I'm trying to get past the way I was, but for some reason that girl just irks me. I'm gonna try though, just ignore her. Yeah, I can do that." She sat back in the chair just as the Blackbird lurched and felt like it was about to crash for a second. There was an audible gasp inside the cabin as it was a frightening experience for anyone who had never flown in the jet before "Whoa, what the hell happened there?" Then the force of the forward thrust pushed her back into her seat and everything leveled out. "How you feelin anyway? You look kinda wasted...you ok?" she asked her friend.

When Sean came into the X-jet it was like her whole world just got a little happier. "Oh my god Sean!" she said as she threw bother her arms around his neck and hugged him tight without unbuckling her seat belt. She was like a little contortionist pretzel girl and she hugged him and said "I am thinking everything is better if it's from Texas!" and with a giggle she mused in a Texas accent "Ah wonder why?"
Sitting up respectfully and peeling herself off of her cowboy she sat and listened before they all got ready to takeoff. In that time she looked at him and brushed his hair back behind his ear and said "We'll come back for a visit soon I hope. Maybe a class trip or something? But, you know, I can make a pretty good Pizza if I get some help...?" she said raising her eyebrows expectantly. TuneUp looked so cute to her and she wanted to cover him with kisses right then, but she didn't want to make him all grossed out or seem too needy.

"Ooof," Sean grunted as Kate hugged his tight from his seat. "Good to see you too Katie girl. Easy know though, don't wanna break your ribs from all that now," he said hugging her back. He settled back in his seat and smiled at Kate before listening to Cyclops' speech. I sure am never gonna forget that. Now it almost seems like it was just a real bad nightmare, he thought before he looked over at Kate again and smiled. Well it wasn't all like a nightmare.
Sean jerked forward from the motion of the plane and looked over at Kate grinning. "Well lookie here, Katie girl you either lived in Texas for awhile or watched a whole lot of Charles Bronson movies," he said with a chuckle. "Homemade Pizza? Katie girl you are a godsend and I'll give you all the help you need. We'll go straight to the kitchen since that seems to be everyone's goal," he said with a chuckle.
Sean glanced out the window with wide eyes at the New York City. "Will you look at that Katie girl? I sure would love to come out here one day and just explore. That and I always wanted to go into the city and see if I could meet Spider-man," he added with a grin and moved to squeeze her hand lightly.

Hank concentrated on programming certain functions of the Blackbird on his new device during the take off. "Setting the network connections to the memory board using Level 2000 on security clearance requires using the backdoor processor for access. Very well played Tony," he mumbled to himself as they flew over the city. He has always been rather quick with gadgets and programing and this was just another new toy.
The one thing that made Hank look up from his universal device was when Dazzler spoke in a beautifully dreamy voice. He smiled softly as she spoke about the city, remembering the time he first met her in the club where they actually ended up fighting against Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club.
"A date? Well if that look that you and Emma both do very well I might add, is an invitation than I'd be honored to escort you. I'll clear my schedule for that night. I'll have to air out my best suit," Hank said with a thoughtful look before returning to his Device Manager.

Turning his attention from the window, where during Scott's speech Logan had found and interesting looking reflection and had watched the face of the red head who had for some reason occupied his thoughts. When he looked back to say his hello to Shadowkat he saw the look on her face and he knew something was terribly wrong.
He reached out and took one of her hands in his own and said "Hey there Sprite. Alright, what gives? You sittin' there with that look on your face, tells me you beatin' yerself up over sumthin'. Didn't you hear what the big man said? About lettin' go and gettin past it all?" He knew she would give him some song and dance about just being tired, and then he would give her 'The Look'.
She and Wolverine had been together for many adventures. In fact they used to get paired up a lot on missions when Kitty first became an X-Man. The Professor thought they complimented each other well, and indeed they did. A strong bond had formed between them and even through all the years, sometimes apart sometimes together, that bond had never been broken. 'The Look' was what he would give to her when he wanted her to come clean, to drop the trappings of polite society and just be real with him.

Diesel smiled when Hardlight came around. "Aw come on babe, we'll all move down one. That way the little guy can sit next to you and then we can keep the same arrangement. C'mon Pipsqueak, Blondie," he said and urged Heather to move one down with Veronika so Hardlight could sit next to Frostbite at the end seat and now there was only an isle separating Veronika and Heather from him."There we go now we can all sit together," he said with a grin and gave Hardlight a lazy wave. "What's up little dude? Nice of you to join us. This is Veronika by the way," he said pointing to the pretty red head with the sweet smile.
He caught Sean's eye and grinned big when he saw the way he was with D'mnchyld. Ian gave him a thumbs up sign before he turned to answer Veronika's question. "You will dig the school babe, its HUGE. And the teachers are pretty cool. Colossus, he's the Acolytes team leader, he rocks man. He's this really cool big guy and he's totally chill. And then there is Kitty Teach, shes that chick over there," Ian said pointing to Kitty talking to Wolverine. "She's pretty awesome. Easy on the eyes too. And then there's Nightcrawler, he's that chill Blue dude over there. He's Paragon leader and props to him man, he's got one interesting team. Spitfire gets along with him well enough and that's all I need to know," he went on as he thought happily of the good things in the school
"There are some cool people at the school too. Like Ripple, shes another Paragon, she's pretty chill. And so is Clutch, a New Mutant. She's a bit quiet but chill enough. And then there's Shimmer, she's a shy little dudette. And uhh, there's a chick named Katana but I don't know her well and uhh OH," he said, his happy face going into a deep and angry scowl. "The one bad side to the school is this pussy named Jumper. I call him Jumpdick. Careful with that asshole. Actually na girl you could take him. It's mad funny cause his name his Jumper and he has a super speed power thing," Ian said with a dark chuckle. Now that he remembered the whole encounter it made his hands ball into tight and dangerous fists. "Yea don't bother with that shit. You got too much class for him anyways," he said to Veronika as he sat back and glanced at Spitfire talking to Haven in the back.
Ian looked over at Heather with the same dark look. "Blondie we're gonna tell Spitfire about Jumpdick. She deserves to know that her own teammate said that shit about her. It's the biggest pile of shit ever man. If I ever get that shit alone...." he trailed off his hands balled into tight fists as he remembered that conversation in the library and the horrible stuff that Trotting Fairy said about one of his girls.

Lorelai looked up from wherever she had been looking and nodded, half not paying attention. Getting up, she moved over one for Hardlight to sit with them and sat back down, glancing at everyone. Buckling up, she listened to Ian talk about everyone. Even she learned about some people at the school that she hadn't quite known about before, only seen but never talked to. "Yeah, Ian pretty much covered it, Veronika. The school itself is pretty cool...when it's not getting attacked by the Brotherhood or anything. Everyone here is pretty cool," she added with a laugh. She slouched slightly again and gripped the arms of her chair when the jet took off, not at all used to the experience. When everything leveled out again, she noticed Ian was getting angry, and about Jumper. Last she checked, Jumper was alright by her.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, she looked at Ian and made a face. "What happened?" she asked him, but also looked at Heather since she had been there. She wondered what had happened to have pissed him off so much. She knew he was protective of Aideen, but what did Jumper say about her to bother him that much? Lorelai never thought Jumper had a problem with Aideen, in fact she thought he had been crushing on her or something like that. When she had first saw them together he was constantly hitting on her; why would he say something bad about her all of a sudden? Either way, Lorelai wanted to know, and she tried to think of what things Jumper might have said while she ran a hand through her hair, running it gently through tangles she hadn't bothered to brush out when she got up earlier.

Kitty looked up from where she had been staring when Logan took her hand. She wasn’t good with concealing her emotions, this she knew, but she could always try to pass off the reason why as just fatigue or something like that. It could work with others, but she knew well enough that it wouldn’t with Logan. She’d still try like hell though. “Yeah, I heard, it’s nothing, I’m just tired. It’s been a long day is all. Y’know,” she said, looking at him with a weak smile and a tiny laugh, trying to play it off though she knew she’d be getting ‘The Look’.
Sure enough, he gave it, and the little façade she had tried to put up no longer worked. Shaking her head, Kitty sighed and used her free hand to rub her temples. “I lost one of my team. Elixir, the one who helped you out of the chains. She had been with me the whole time, and I let her get away from me, and now she’s dead. I should’ve protected her more, but I didn't. I should've watched her like I did k'8 and Sean- they're still here. But because I didn't, she’s dead. I failed as a team leader,” she explained to him, exhaling. She didn’t want to start crying again. This was supposed to be a happy time; the X-Men and the X-Kids had triumphed. They went into Limbo, kicked ass and rescued Logan and Kurt, and got out. Now they were going home. She should be happy with the rest of them, and she would’ve tried, but her heart wasn’t in it.

Veronika smiled at Ian and leaned her elbows on her knees to look at him and listen intently. Colossus... ah yes he is that man that was cleaning up outside. I thought he was the help. Imbecile, at least I know he is not my team leader. Papa said that I was put on the Paragons. I suppose having a Blue elf isn't so horrible. I hope for my sake that he is at least a little bit intelligent. That Kitty is rather pretty. I suppose she is acceptable. The students I will have to judge for myself. She blinked her large blue eyes that everyone told her were the eyes of an angel at the two of them as she made a confused and curious look come on her face. "The Brotherhood? Do you mean that group of Evil Mutants that cause all that trouble in Manhattan all the time? Oh that is a horrid group! I do hope they do not come to the school again," Veronika said in a very worried tone, though on the inside she was smirking. Papa always seemed rather partial to some of its members if my memory serves me correct.
"Well, thank you Ian but I must say I am rather curious myself as to why you dislike this one boy so much. Surely he could not have done something so retched that it made someone as nice as you dislike him. Heather has told me how easy you are to get along with, and I must say she is right," Veronika said in her light Russian accent with sweet smile squeezing Heather's arm lightly.
Veronika looked at Heather with perfectly sculpted arched eyebrows. She was also curious as to what happened that made this very attractive sweet young man so passionately angry. I do hope I am wrong, but I think 'Spitfire' is what he calls that horrid pathetic girl. If it had anything to do with hurting her than perhaps this boy he is so angry about is not all that bad. She looked at Lorelai with a confused look on her face as well and shrugged before looking back at the angry Ian. I will have to play my cards right with him. Though he has horrible taste in women, or a fetish with crayons, he would certainly be a useful ally if he can look so frightening when angry. A useful ally indeed...
