"Racing bike, vell zhat sounds-" Nightcrawler was interested in the young man and his life, considering how the two of them had a common language and could relate to one another through that. However as soon as Kurt began to speak to Jasper, his attention had been pulled from their small talk of home and future. The lure of a pretty girl was hard to deny and Kurt simply smiled as he watched for a moment before turning to speak to his peers.
"So, not zhat I am complaining because you are such a beauty Allison, but vhat brings you from England und my old team Excalibur? Vas it for us, for zhis rescue? If so I am truly honored?" He leaned closer to take in her beauty as his body language told the boy Onyx that he was free to mingle if he so chose. Kurt understood about hormones and the sway they did have on the mind of a young man. "Hank, Emma....who vas minding my team while I vas avay?" he engaged all of the teachers seated in the row in conversation.

Ian eyed Aideen's calm nature suspiciously and had to grin when she actually reached out and voluntarily touched him. It was the first time she ever even tried to acknowledge that he was anything more than some dude who enjoyed looking at her in tight clothes and thought she was awesome. "Uh alright Spitfire sure. Look as long as you're gonna be okay and all," Ian said a little shocked that the one time she touched him and he wasn't burned or on fire.
"Anyways babes, he's an ass and I'm still gonna give him that punch I owe him when I get the chance. But I gotcha, you got it. You always do," he said with a grin and patted her knee when he got up. "So you know Spitfire, I wish you didn't take the weight of everything that happened out there on yourself, but I don't think you were stupid. You were radically brave and that's just whoa even if you didn't deserve that," Ian said in a low voice before he grinned at Haven and winked at her. "Later babes." He walked back to his seat calm as ever. I'm still gonna punch the fairy when I get the chance, he thought and stopped to look at Onyx a bit weird.
"Dude whats up with you? You look ready to attack someone or something. Spitfire's fine she'll be good for you begging for treats before you know it," Ian said with a smirk and leaned in to whisper to him. "She's got some nice looking treats huh? It's cool man every guy in here sees it." With that he took his seat next to Frostbite and reached over to ruffle Kevin's hair. "So what's up guys what did I miss?" Ian asked calmly again and reached over to put his arm around Lorelai.

Alison smiled sympathetically at Emma. "Sorry Hun, I saw him right after that freak accident in the Lab. He was already offering me a tour of his room and talking about that poster of me he has in his room. He's the one kid that acts exactly the same even though I haven't been back in years," she said with a shrug and gave Emma a sympathetic look. Poor darlin' has got to deal with him every year, she thought and gave her a comforting smile.
That smile turned into a full out grin when Kurt joined the conversation. "Well you know me Kurt, I can't stay away from you all for too long. Em here got in touch with me and said it was an emergency. So I got here to take over your classes for the time being in case they couldn't find ya'll. She got Rogue too," Ali said with her voice turning slightly cold at Rogue's name. She always did try to be as civil as possible, but some things where unforgivable. "Come on, Kurt darlin' when I heard you and Logan were in trouble, I'd drop anything to help ya'll out. I mean you guys never hesitated to help me out, whether its lending a hand with Enchantress or helping me get rid of a crazy stalker," she said with a dazzling smile.
"Hmm... I know Hank asked me to look after the New Mutants after the accident. I'm not sure who had your team...." Ali trailed off racking her brain for who was named leader.

He smiled at Deisel's touch. He never would have guessed the guy with the mussles and his blue haired girlfriend would have ever taken him into their group of friends. Kevin counted himself blessed for them both. In his life he had no other friends really, aside from the people he knew here who he counted as his friends.
Back home he had nobody who liked him anymore, so he was happy now to be starting his life here at this school with some very cool people. He snugled up under his blanket, the Avenges blanket with the very cool looking Avenger's "A" on it. It was going to go everywhere with him now. It meant a lot to him because of all they had been through, it was a keepsake, and also because Deisel had given it to him plus to it was fuzzy and warm.
He looked over at his friend as he sat down and a question started to be formed in his mind. Hardlight knew Deisel was a good guy, but he wasn't sure what he meant by calling Jumper a fairy. The longer he sat there thinking about it the more it was bothering him. He didn't want to think of Ian as a guy who was homophobic or equated being gay with being wrong or dumb or screwed up.
Kevin took a slow deep breath to get his words right in his head and asked "Ian? Um I hope you don't mean he's a fairy like to say he's gay. Gay people have enough problems without putting that guy on us. You didn't mean like, you know how people say 'that's so gay' to mean it's messed up or something, did you? Cause I hope, even though I might not be the coolest guy, that I have shown you that gay isn't bad. Please say you didn't mean it that way." He swallowed hard. His voice had wavered a little in the middle when he spoke, but he held strong to his own course. It was one of the hardest things he ever had to say, and he hoped he didn't upset anybody. He smiled slightly when he was done, not a smug smile but hopeful and sort of appologetic for having to ask.

Hank sighed as he looked at Emma with a rather frustrated look. "It didn't ease my nerves that when I saw him he was covered in frosting. I instructed Rogue to keep an eye on him and Hotwire is at the school, so we have some hope that the school is in one piece," he said with a sigh and put down his universal pilot.
"I will never understand that boy. His father is one of the most famous nuclear physicist in the world, a very intelligent man. And his mother is featured in most Space magazines as the leading Rocket Scientists in the United States. If it weren't for the family resemblance I would wonder if they adopted the boy," Hank said shaking his head to what he labeled as life's biggest mystery.
He smiled at Alison's delight at Kurt joining the conversation, though he did feel a slight sting of jealousy at the reaction. "You'll be proud to know Kurt, that Scott appointed Ember as temporary team leader of the Paragons. She took on the position with her head held high and from all reports excelled at it. Rogue of course, took over the appointment when she arrived. Temporarily of course once we were certain we knew where you and Logan were located. A couple of new additions came to your team as well," Hank stated with a nod as he thought about all the new faces that arrived so quickly. "You have your work cut out for you my friend," he added with a solemn nod.

Lorelai glanced back quietly once or twice just to see what was going on. She heard nothing of course, since Aideen was in the far back and the voices were getting quieter. A glance around the plane showed some people looking to the back when Ian had been so loud, and she sunk a little more in her seat. She couldn’t help feeling a twinge embarrassed since she was sitting with the group of people who seemed to be the loudest aside from when the older Hellion had been singing, and then with Ian’s voice having been loud enough for seemingly the whole jet to hear.
She looked up at the blond German boy, watching his reactions after she told him. If Lorelai recalled correctly, he seemed very much about Aideen, as she had seen when they came into the genetics lab before they all got sucked into hell. Looking away, she glanced out the window and at the daylight. Clouds were floating by as the jet flew them all home, and she turned only to look back to the German boy when she heard Ian talking to him in whispers. She didn’t catch what was said, but Ian was smirking as he ruffled Hardlight’s hair and sat back down. He looked a lot calmer too, which made her glad.
Giving him a smile, she shook her head. “You didn’t miss much, don’t worry. You okay now?” she asked, and then looked to Hardlight when he spoke. It seemed like he was building up the courage to talk or something. She couldn’t help raising an eyebrow slightly at what he said, and pursed her lips slightly. “No, no,” she answered him instead, shaking her head. “No, it totally doesn’t mean that. ‘Fairy’ is another way of calling someone a…” she paused for a moment, trying to think of a way to explain its meaning without getting into trouble for saying something too derogatory in front of all the teachers. “Chickenshit, basically…a little ‘fraidy cat, you could say,” she finished, putting it into terms she thought he would best understand. “Nothing about being gay,” she said to him giving him a little reassuring smile.

"I'll try Mason, but I'm almost too tired you know?" she said nuzzling and snuggling herself into him even more. She spent the next ten minutes trying to get to sleep, but she simply couldn't with all the emotional energy she was picking up from the trio behind them. Resigning herself to just sitting restfully with her eyes shut.
With a nice sweet sigh, Tracy took Mason's arm and readjusted it. Wrapping it around herself and under her arm resting his hand across her soft flat tummy. "You keep me warm and I feel so safe, Mason. You always did help me when I needed you. Thanks for watching out for me." she said smiling up at him. "I know things will be different when we get back home, but just how different...?...how much better...? I'll keep my fingers crossed for the best."

Mason rolled his eyes at all the commotion, pure interest made him momentarily glance back at the trio. He had a keen eye on fighting talent and that fire girl had it. She was a Paragon, just like he was and Nightcrawler was a kick ass leader, but even he couldn't have taught her some of those moves, which is what peaked his interest. Mason let Tracy move his arm around her, his mind in overdrive as it ran through all the logical steps of what he was getting himself into with one of the girls who he could clearly call one of his best friends.
"I don't know how things are gonna be like doll. It ain't really possible for things to stay the same," Mason said in a low voice, his thumb running over her soft stomach. "We'll take it in stride alright? See how things go. I don't want you settling for me, so take your time. We got all the time there is," he said softly, moving his hand across her stomach soothingly.
"Hey kid," Mason called to Onyx who was standing up with his wings out. "Take a seat man. If this jet jerks, than your either gonna fall on your ass or on someone else's." He rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Like we needa add any more injuries to the list," he grumbled.

Veronika smiled politely and sympathetically at Lorelai, priding herself on how no look of disgust flashed across her face at the sight of her hair. She smiled meekly and completely ignored the freak when he showed up like a watchdog at the mention of that girl's name. He is looking as pathetic as her. He has as much chance with her as he does with me now. She is into muscled hairy apes with bad haircuts. And yet he pines over her like a love sick animal with wings that are rather grotesque. Even that harlot has higher standards, though not by much. I do not know what is worse, the hairy half ape or the winged freak. Disgusting on both parts. Veronika made her face brighten up when Ian came back looking much calmer.
"It is good to see that you are feeling better Ian. I must say I was rather worried that a gentleman like you could get so angry!" she exclaimed as he sat down, ignoring his comment to Onyx, refusing to even look at the freak. Veronika heard the concerns of the little Kevin with confusion. Though she kept up the pleasant smile, her mind said differently. He is a homosexual? Papa would have a fit if he knew that I associated with them, but they are rather amusing. Why, my personal shopper Jean Jacques is one and he just has the most impeccable taste. I suppose what Papa doesn't know won't hurt him.
"Oh Kevin I am sure that is not what Ian meant. After all he never mentioned anything in regards to that and I believe Lorelai is right in the term that 'fairy' is used. No one wants to put you down," Veronika said in a gentle and soothing voice that sounded so sincere that no one would even question it. "Now let us put this unpleasant business behind us, I would still like to hear more about the school," she said with a shining smile.

Looking up at Diesels addressing of him, Japser let his face drop of the anger and took a deep breath with closed eyes. He was right, somehow surfer goon was right and he respected his honesty to Aideen and his understanding that something as big as this should not be overlooked. "Vould you mind eef i got to 'ave e look at zees 'fairy' i vould per'aps like to take good talking viss 'im. 'e seems like 'e needs som' goot ... advice." He asked, a dark smile coming over his lips as he felt a laugh breath out through his nose. His way of talking was through force, something he knew well.
"Treats, vhat? Aideen 'as some sveets zhat i vhant? Vhat do you mean Diezel. I 'ave not known she 'as sveets, vould zhey not 'ave melted een Limbo?" The tall winged German asked curiously, his face a picture of pure non understanding at the very serious looking boy.
Letting out a small laugh at Ironclad, Jasper gave the student a small smile. "Eff i fall on my 'ass' zhen i vill blame only me, but; eet vould be funny to zee vhere i land. But good, i sit back viss my seat, im not sure zhat ze teachers vould appreciate eet eef i vass to fall on zhem no?" He chuckled, trying to keep his composure and feeling good about being able to give at least a small smile. With that he sat back down next too Nightcrawler and fastened himself back in -if with a bit of struggle given the wings. "<Sorry sir, that was rude to leave while you where talking.>" He said.

"Nice, but I woulda thought that there'd be plenty of birds flying in Texas. Isn't that the land of the big sky or somethin? That's one of the states, isn't it?Or like is it everything's big in Texas?" she knew Texas was big and kinda funny shaped, but she had no idea about much els about it. "Tell me about Texas, Sean. What's it like there? I mean other than good steaks and cute boys, what else do they have?" she grinned at him as she complimented him. She loved to hear him talk, his accent was just so excellent. It made him even more attractive when he spoke.

"Good. You do what you feel you got to." he nodded and with the slightest curl to his lips he said "Everybody needs a purpose, this one'll do for you until the next one comes along." He didn't need to tell her. He figured she would find out in her own way, through the passage of time, that her life would take her far beyond the self she knew she was now. She had changed so much since he had known her, and she had grown into a fine woman. She was a friend, and for Wolverine to say so if even to himself, was a compliment paid to very few souls indeed. "How 'bout another song? Why not ask little Gina if she'll play that one you like, the one you used to hum all the time. Remember it? Drove me crazy with that tune." he said and winked at her.

Mato smiled at the compliment and thought for a moment on how to best answer her question. "My gift is one that took me a long time to understand. My mutant power is that I bring parts of my spirit out, and am able to read others as well. I believe that due to my heritage and culture, I see people's spirit animals. My people believe that every person's spirit is an animal, their one link to nature and the spirit world that can never be severed," he explained with a small smile as he thought back to his village and all that he learned about his own power.
"When I was a little boy, I would be doing chores and playing with the other children in the village. My mother used to say that I had the spirit of a Bear, for whenever she would see me doing chores, she would swear she'd see the shadow of a bear right next to me. When I got older, the shadows turned to images. It was never just a bear either. When I was taken in by the Shaman of our village, I understood more about my gift, for no one realized that it was a mutant power yet. I believe was the one who introduced a bit of magic into my ability," Mato said with a proud smile at the memory of the man that taught him all he knew.
His river gray eyes locked on Decibel's as he spoke of his powers and revealed a bit of his past. "Shaman Achak taught me the meanings of all the animals so I knew myself better. Though a person's spirit may just be one animal, it is linked to many others as well. I can only bring out the animals that are connecting to my being. Soon, I was able to see others spirit animals as well. People hide behind emotions and acts often, but their spirit animal shows who they really are on the inside. Sometimes their spirit animal is tainted by a form of magic that takes over their inner being. Shaman Achak taught me how to help those spirits heal. Sometimes through war or disease, it leaves a person's spirit broken, loosing the will to shine and go on. Through the Great Spirit, I bring them back into themselves. I may not heal them on the outside, but I do help on the inside," Mato finished in his calm and quiet voice, not minding sharing with her, or anyone really. One who has pride in his past and life never fears to show it, his mother's words ran through his head.

"Oh that Calorie is something Dazzler, I hope you were not offended. I can just imagine what he said to you, or about you." She smiled a smile that said without words how he was a burden, actually she did devote a fair portion of her concentration in a day on the comings and goings of one Mr. Kelly Burns, but it was a burden of love. The boy was less than a stellar academic, quite a bit of a flirt, but all in all a good egg. "Covered in icing? Sounds about right Hank, I am now truly afraid." she said to Beast in jest.
"Yes, Kurt. On that point" Emma raised a finger to her lips softly as she turned to look back at the firestarter "I would like to say that I observed her in the midst of her training session with your team and was thoroughly impressed. She handled herself with tact and even went so far as to administer some much needed discipline to a team member. You would have been quite proud of her I believe."
"Regrettably though, her time with you is drawing to a close." she sat back again folding her hands together and resting them on her lap. "But I wont pull her from you until you give me the green light, as that has always been my position on advancement. You as her Team Leader will have the final say on her moving up. Take your time though, as Scott and I have not taken any meetings or done any evaluations yet this quarter, and a few more days or weeks with you will only strengthen her foundation further. But she was certainly a fine choice to hold your team together in the midsts of this crisis."

Haven smiled slightly and nodded at Diesel as he said his goodbyes and walked back up to sit with the 'oh so pretty' people. Niki liked Diesel and saw him as a real stand up guy, but the rest of that little click she felt was not worthy of him. Aw c'mon now Niki, knock it off. Get a grip...they don't hate you- they don't even know you. "Pssshht" she hissed at her own thoughts as she sat back into her chair.
She watched Ian all the way back to his seat and saw the exchange with him and the kid with the wings. "That guy with the wings has a lot of questions about you huh?" she said to Aideen. Taking a deep breath and letting it out she let the stress of this new chapter of her life, which had been building up since she accepted the punishments that were to come her way shortly, blow away and out of her body. "Hey," she said softly not wanting to disturb her own meditative mood, "you can count on me." She closed her eyes and tried to put her future off for as long as she could.
