Ian's eyes were wide as saucers as he stared at the new girl Madeline after she mentioned all that spicy Cajun food, he was just lost in a daydream of a buffet of spicy foods galore and bread pudding. "Babe you hear that? She's one of us and she COOKS SPICY FOOD!" he said excitedly. "BLONDIE! This chick cooks spicy food! And makes Bread Pudding!" Ian was truly a guy that had a road to his heart through his stomach, and the girl seemed pretty cool too. He liked that she seemed pretty easygoing, enough for his own girl to not get annoyed at first glance like she did with everyone else. Granted, Niki was known for being tough on any newcomers, but it was just her nature, and Ian got that. He knew she'd been through a lot and with that came the mistrust of people.
"You know Maddy, my girl here Niki can cook too. I vote that you have a cook off, and have me as the judge. And it should be like a three course meal cook off," he rambled on for a minute before doing a double take at Ripple. "Dude, you just ripped off Bobby's cheesedog! Not cool man, not cool." Ian shook his head gravely at the offence. One of the more unforgivable things on his list was messing with someone's food. It was just simply not cool at all.
"Babe I'm gonna grab my triple layer burger, what do ya want me to grab ya?" he called to Niki as he went over to Cyclops. "Hey Teach my burger ready? Sweeeet!" Ian grabbed the massive burger and put it on his plate. He grabbed another plate to put the stuff Niki wanted on it and balanced it carefully. "Thanks a lot Teach, these look awesome!" Ian said before making his way back to his girl. "Here ya go babe, enjoy and don't ever tell me I don't do anything for you." He grinned and kissed her head. "So Maddy I gotta ask cause I always wanted to go, but hows Mardi Gras there? Is it as crazy as I hear?" Ian asked while he loaded his triple burger with toppings.

As the corn had been taken from her by the girl with the crazy lyrics, Donna could turn her attention to the woman who had approached her and the student she had called over to meet her. She was trying very hard to hold strong in her un-scared and unscathed expression despite the ongoing turmoil inside her. It was odd enough for her being thrown into this situation where she had to become and instant team player when she had never really been one, but to make a family from it? That seemed a little much.
"Yea, uh hey ..." she said, her quirky behavior lagging only for an instant as she stood a Little taller. Faced with a student who looked almost half animal. It shouldn't feel odd to her, after all a mutant could be anything right? Even down to their physical structure.
Although wary of him, Donna reached out her hand none the less and shook it once firmly. Just as her father would to anyone in his squadron. Out of uniform the men and women would go out drinking, go to parties and generally have fun. Deep down though they all remembered that they would return the next week under a commanding officer and have to act the militant they were trained to be. Donna was no different. "Donna Connors, future pilot in the RAF." She said, giving a short yet very obvious wink. The line was well rehearsed and almost automatic, hand shake, introduction, commending statement. A first impression was vital. "Pleasure to meet you."
'Damn, this team does seems pretty close already. They run it almost like a squadron, when I got put here they really chose the right place.!' she thought with a short smile. The invitation to sit with the group seemed honest enough, as did Riker. She could relax into a situation easily and even with the pressure of having to 'pull her own weight' she deemed it to be a fair gesture. "Alright then mate, I'll take you up on that. There may be hope for me yet." She beamed, nodding her head once and crossing her arms over her back. "And miss Kitty? I get that right? You seem a pretty cool Squadron Leader. Proud to serve Ma'am." Giving a play salute to show her little joke. Everything was fine, She was O.K and so far she hadn't blown anything up or crashed an aircraft. Things were going better than planned.

Lily squealed loudly as she saw everything move while she was trying to run home. The next thing she knew she caught sight of Austin off to the side throwing the ball at her. She let out a little scream as she instinctively jumped up and flitted her little wings so she hovered in the air, successfully missing being hit by the ball. She remembered that she was supposed to go to home base and started to go that way until she figured she had to tell Austin off because that wasn't nice of him to try and hit her.
"Austin you big doodoohead! Don't throw the ball at me just cause us girls mighta beat you dumb boys! You coulda hit me!" she yelled, turning around to look in his direction, her big eyes narrowed at her dumb boy teammate. Making it home was quickly forgotten as she then carried on and looked to the girls team captain. "Kurt he shouldn't have did that he coulda hurted me! And that wouldn'ts be good would it??" she said expectantly, floating in the air with her little hands sitting on her hips as she waited for an answer. "You're a big dummy, Austin!" she said, looking back with a glare at Austin, sticking her tongue out at him defiantly since he wasn't going to get her with any ball anytime soon.

"Good kick! Great shot Torri!" Emma had called as the play kicked off. Clapping loudly and only taking pause from her clapping to slip two fingers into her mouth and whistle LOUDLY. The sound of it much like a steam whistle on an old locomotive.It was not at all ladylike, but there were many things Emma knew how to do that were far from ladylike.
"Oh Kurt, oh no look." she had said pointing to the field as it looked like Austin would tag Lily out as she rounded third base. Yet as he was about to make the play she picked up his panicked thoughts. His powers manifested only to skip him like a pebble across a pond through one of his own portals. "Oh dear." Emma whispered only loud enough for Kurt to hear.
~*Easy Austin, it's alright. That was simply your power doing it's thing without you focusing to control it. Relax you are safe.*~ She spoke into Austin's mind to calm him. It was not the first time she had. She always introduced her powers to the little children slowly and in a controlled environment so they would know the sound of her voice in their minds.
"Come Home! LILY, come home... RUN little lady, RUN!" She called out loudly, not missing a beat, to the little fairy girl. Emma rushed over to the plate waving her arms and jumping slightly as she was so excited. Laughing along with Kurt by her side she beaconed Lily to come and decided to put off a lecture about name calling until after they scored a few runs.
"Hurry baby! Jenny is right behind you. You have to run now, RUN!" It was the most adorable thing to see. As the two girls ran for home and Torri rounded second base, Chopper and Austin scrambled to scoop up the ball and make the play at the plate while Rogue took to the sky, flying in from the outfield to play the catcher's position.

The kitchen door was flung open to reveal the trio of Hellions walking out together, sinister smiles on their faces to a joke funny to no one but the trio. The ever deleterious, calamitous Brock Van Alstyne looked amused beyond words, fresh from the gym and a most entertaining talk with his teammates. Under his arm was a wrapped up bundle. One Brock Van Alstyne was very amused, very amused indeed when he learned of the events that transpired at breakfast after an entertaining report from his teammates while he toned and worked out his most perfect body to keep it in its present shape. It just tickled him that no matter how much people could claim they despise him, women in particular, he would still find their eyes roaming over his body in admiration. Of course it was only natural that they would, for Brock prided himself on his body, living up to the reputation as the god Adonis among the mere mortals. He shaped his muscles, feeding the narcissistic urge within him.
And as they walked to the food table, the sinister grin on Brock's face only deepened as he exchanged a look with Inflict, moving for the trio to pass a certain cold blue haired girl. Bring the bundle in front of him, He slowed his pace and looked at Lorelai with dark amusement in his eyes. "You stained my sheeeEEEeets. Naughty," he said in a sing-song voice and thrust the bundle into her arms, a red stain visible on the outside. "Clean it up." Brock chuckled under his breath and made his way to the food table, not sparing anyone else a glance except an amused exchange of glances with his two companions. He had no shame and would do anything for a laugh.
"Well, well look who's playing House here. How's slaving over everyone's meals working for you there Professor?" Brock spat the last word out as if it was the most vile word in the language, proving his talent of taking a generally respectable word and twisting it to his delight. He picked up a burger and a hot dog on a plate, pausing by the grill to take a bite of the hot dog. "Not bad there, you must really be trying to impress someone. Trying to get Emma to swoon for the housewife routine huh? Hey, you totally got my support though, I mean I been with enough girls to know that they have a lot of fun being one, and I guess some guys can relate," he said in a sincere voice before cracking a sinister smirk. "They are really good though wouldn't you say?" His glance moved between Norrison and Rose, amusement ever present in the situation.

"Yeah, I can cook my ass off girl. Oh, Papi I could really go for a cheeseburger thanks!" she had called out and was surprised at the size and moistness of it when she saw what Ian had brought her back. Niki was not one of these girls who was afraid of food. She loved the flavors and the textures and spicy was her thing. She had a gorgeous curvy body and she was not one to shy from a workout either. She knew she would use up every ounce of calories she ate, and she was stubborn enough to not stop until she did.
"Wow lookit this thing." she said as she opened the bun to put her toppings on it. Lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, ketchup and mayonnaise and more jalapenos. She would not stand on ceremony waiting for anyone else to get theirs, it looked too good to wait for. Mouth wide she sunk her teeth into it. Turning she called out, mouth half full to Scott "Aw Cyke this is fantast-" just then the screen door flew open and three of the Hellions came strolling out. Haven watched them, waiting for something, but not knowing what. Her muscles and tendons tensing and getting ready in case she needed to act. Her forcefield a mere thought away from being turned on full.
What happened next made her burst out in a laugh. Spitting her moist and gooey all chewed and slobbery burger out violently it just happened to get stuck in Heather's hair as she had been all intruding into the Acolyte space and screaming into Gavin's ear. "Oh no he di'int. BaaaHAhahaa. Oh I hate that guy but that was some funny shit." She laughed a little bit longer until Brock walked back and got into Cyclops face.
It was true that there was no love lost between Haven and Cyclops. In her opinion that guy just plain had a stick up his ass, but he was always cool to her girl Aideen, so she thought he deserved a fair shake. This Rumble guy don't know when to quit. The bloody bedsheets were funny, but him going all bitch ass on Cyclops is just not. Hell the guy makes a mean ass burger and for that alone he deserved some props. Niki tried to bite her tongue. She knew it would be best to say nothing but she could not help herself. That son of a bitch Rumble had tried to bury her and her man alive.
"He should stick to the prop comedy eh? Carrot Top wanna be. Cyke don't deserve that he's just cookin." she said for her table to hear. "Oh shit Heather, I got that in your hair girl. Damn, c'mere.. here sit here." she said noticing the masticated burger dangling and spinning in Aqua's hair. "Let me get that outta there. I'm sorry, but that was some funny shit... man I'm a good shot huh? I'll get it though." She started to laugh a little again at the bedsheets and then even more at the burger in her one time punching bag's hair. "No, no I got it...almost... sit still."

Gavin was laughing right along with Niki at one point, especially cause Heather got burger in her hair, and that was just too funny. It was better than any retaliation he could have done at that point. "Oh man that's just gross. I think I'd like it better if you had dandruff," he said cracking up after his initial jump from when she came up behind him. It was just too funny for words now since it topped any plan that Gavin was thinking of. "Oh man that was a good laugh." A last chuckle escaped from him and he patted his stomach. "I heard of girls with meat on their bones, but meat in their hair is new.You just learn something new everyday," Gavin said grinning widely at Heather.
He glanced over at Rumble and then over at Frostbite, growing more solemn and shrugging slightly. "I hate that guy too, but... eh I don't know." He didn't know how to feel about all this, it was just really bizarre on a lot of levels. He was hurt that Frostbite just up and left the team without trying to work it out first, but he just didn't understand why any person would want anything to do with someone like Rumble. That guy was pure evil, a first class villain that even many villains would be scared of, except maybe the Joker. It turned Gavin's stomach at the thought of anyone willingly coming to a guy like him, and though he was sure that Frostbite had her reasons, but he just couldn't understand what they could be.
Shrugging at Lorelai, he turned back to his little group, cracking a grin at Heather again. "Eh don't worry about Cyclops Niki, his tolerance for Rumble lately seems as low as Rumble's tolerance for him," Gavin commented in a quieter voice, watching warily that whole trio of Hellions that swarmed by Cyclops, who in his opinion was just being a cool guy and cooking. He turned to Maddy and gave her a grim sort of smile, not quite knowing how to explain anything that just happened. He didn't think it was exactly possible to explain the whole situation. "So uh, some first impression huh?" he said with a shrug.

Chase was a little slow to climb out from under the table. He had himself a distracting time looking at bulges and camel toes for a minute and trying to place the face with the crotch. After taking his best guesses he popped up and looked to see if he was right. He sorta cheated because of the voices, but it was more about looking at peoples junk then it was about the guessing game anyway so he wasn't worried about cheating. He gave himself a perfect 100% score on the perv scale and called it a done deal.
"Be right there Sky!" he called out to her and rushed to follow. As he passed the tray of burgers and dogs he grabbed a toasted charred looking hot dog and walking slowly he grabbed up some mustard to squirt on it. Tossing it back at the table he used his power to 'freeze' it in mid air until he saw Ian grabbing for it and then he let it go so Ian could snag it out of mid air.
"Nice catch dude." Chase said running backward for a step or two and grinning at Ian. He spun around to grab the screen door only to be hit with it as it burst open. *UUurRff* was all he could grunt as the force of the door knocked him against the wall and then again and then again as each of the Hellions in turn took some joy in slamming him between the door and the outside wall.
As the screen slammed shut Chase was left standing there mashed against the wall in some weird Egyptian hieroglyphic looking stance. The look on his face was pain and surprise, but as he started to move his hotdog fell from the safety of it's bun and plummeted to the ground. It was almost slow motion to Chase's eyes and he cried out 'Nooooo" managing in the very last split second to freeze it too before it hit the ground. "Damn, that was close. I almost" he looked up at the sound of Rumble telling Frostbite to do the sheets "Oh duuude mon!"
There was total silence for a second until Haven burst out laughing, then things seemed to start moving again. "Yo SKY! YO!" he yelled into the kitchen. "Yo, you are totally missin this! Ahahaa! Rumble is freakin genius!" He reached down to snag his hotdog from mid air mere inches above the ground when the screen door opened again smacking him in the ass and sending him sprawling forward. He tried to recover running as he fell but only did the total face plant right at Machete's feet as she came strolling up with the other two Hellions as they grabbed their food.
Not being able to help himself he looked up under her skirt. The little heels she always wore and her gorgeously toned legs were a sight to see but then his eyes kept strolling up and up. It was worth all worth it for a face full of pavement, and whatever penalty Inflict might impose he would have payed. He would have even swapped his lucky 2 dollar bill with the blood stain on it that was the secret to his gambling success. What he saw was like unto mana from the heavens because she verily was hot, oh yes she was, but even better because she was not wearing panties! Then something shiny was there and it caught his eye. Is that? Is she? "Pierced!?!" he raised his head from the pavement staring in wonderment.

Maddy's light green eyes were sparkling in curiosity at the trio that came in, particularly at the tall, very handsome blonde guy that gave off an aura that made her shiver slightly without knowing why. Her danger sense had developed a lot since Hurricane Katrina, when the crime rate in Cajun Country went up higher than it ever was before. Muggings, rapes, kidnappings and murder became far too common for comfort, and Maddy had seen enough to know to trust her gut instinct when it came to people. She really had no choice to learn, hearing the horror stories and having men try and solicit her even. The only chance she had to take care of herself was to trust that her gut would would let her know if she needed to get the hell out of there.
She didn't know anything about the trio, but just from the way they held themselves and everyone's reactions to them told her a good deal. "An interestin' first impression like Ah eva' saw one. Who are they?" Maddy asked in a quieter voice while her large eyes were trained on the three of them. She didn't understand what the whole thing was that everyone was laughing at when the blonde guy threw a bundle of sheets at that very sad looking girl with the very cool hair. She did understand the rudeness showed to Cyclops though, not getting how someone could be such an ass to that guy. Maddy just got here and didn't even say one word to that guy, but he was an X-Men who did so much good and now was making food for all of them when she was pretty sure he didn't have to do any of it. She had never been one to not speak her mind, but she was raised to have respect for her elders.
Her light green eyes then turned to the red haired boy laying on the ground in front of the really gorgeous girl and she had to giggle at how obviously he sneaked a peak under her short skirt. "Oh mah goodness!" She let out a small giggle and shook her head. "Ah'll tell yah'll this, the last time dat happened ta me, Ah rolled ova' the guy's jimmy wit' mah skate, Maddy said with a giggle and set her plate on the table. She grabbed a couple of the napkins and went to the cooler to dip them in the ice, getting them a little bit moist with water. Then she grabbed a bottle of plain seltzer water and poured a little of them on the napkins too. "Here yah go." She handed several of them to Niki. "Ah been in enough food fights in mah life t'know a thing or two 'bout gettin' food outta hair," she said with a slight laugh. "They're also good for cleanin' your hands." Maddy smiled at the two girls and giggled slightly at how the whole thing came to be. "Name's Madeline, or Maddy, n' this is one of tha most interestin' kinda meetings Ah eva' had." Despite seeming at ease in the group, she was still a bit nervous on first impression. She didn't know how they treated newcomers, but if it was anything like the way her team treated new members, she needed to tread very carefully and not push herself on anybody.

"Oh Jeezus." Norrison was about through with this kid. He had decided to play with the red headed ginger turd for fun and to have his own personal gopher, but the kid had taken it one step too far one too many times now. It wasn't bad enough that he hardly did anything right and made a joke out of everything, out here in the luxury-less mansion there was really no need for his own personal manservant. "Nows when you beg for mercy." he whispered through gritted teeth at Chase as he bent down and pulled him up by his one ear.
At the touch of his hand Inflict let his power run lose a little, like a pit-bull on a long chain. In the time it took to blink he had instinctively rifled through the past injuries which had occurred to Freeze-Frame's body. Like a filing cabinet chock full of painful choices to delight as his twisted smile curled the edges of his lips, Inflict pulled a file and let spill some blood. "Would you look at how that little fall has hurt you. I think it will be a long time coming before you find yourself looking up my girl's skirt again, in fact it'll be the last day of the rest of your life."
Norrison looked down at Chase's shirt as the blood flowed from a few wounds on his neck and cheeks. It had been some simple shaving nicks that Norrison had decided to reopen and shred wide in the fire of his rage. The blood flowing out of them and running down his neck to coat his shirt. It was obvious to Chase and Norrison saw the look on his face as the realization of something happening showed and then the pain took hold. The screaming like a little girl he could have done without, but he imagined that what Chase was feeling was probably enough to warrant it.
He held on for a moment more before letting go. The blood loss would be enough to kill him if he didn't and what good would a dead underclassman do him. "Shut UP! Or so help me I will open you up again." He said as he saw the wounds closing and the flow of blood stopping. He knew his point had been made and he reached over to grab a cheeseburger. Looking right into Cyclops' ruby lensed glasses and challenging him without a sound in that moment before taking a breath to break his silence and speak.
"Don't you say a damn word, he had it coming to him and you know it." Norrison said with a matter of fact tone in his voice. "He'll be fine, but he'll remember this lesson. Which is more than I can say for any class you ever taught." His high breeding lent itself to the tone of arrogance in his voice. It didn't matter to him what Cyclops might do or say, unlike anyone else here he stayed for the power trip of it all and the fear that he could instill. His family had enough money that he could live as he chose anywhere in the world. His father was a powerful man in the Hellfire Club, a Mutant in the inner circle, and as that was the case Norrison's place in high society was assured. 'Untouchable and unflappable' was what it said in Emma's own hand written notes in his dossier.

"You don't wanna know them," Ian said darkly, looking over at them. He didn't laugh when Rumble threw the sheets at Frostbite, he didn't laugh when they all rounded on Cyclops, and he didn't laugh when Inflict unleashed his power on Chase. Ian had no tolerance for that group, considering them the lowest of the low. They were power hungry poor excuses for human beings, and he was eagerly waiting for the day that all of them would get their dues.
Without a word, he put his plate still with a hot dog on it down and walked over to Chase. Ian didn't even look at any of them, just leaned down and gave Chase a hand up. "C'mon bro, I gotcha," he said and pretty much lifted the guy up with ease, taking care to the fact that he just experienced some blinding pain. "Thanks for the mustard by the way dude." Ian grinned slightly at him and walked with him over to a picnic bench and helped him sit down. Chase was a cool dude, but he had a tendency to take it too far sometimes.
"You know better man, but I hope that sneak peak was worth it," he said passing him a drink so the guy could calm down a bit and get himself together. Ian glanced over at Machete, giving her a once over. Yeah she was hot, but too prissy for Ian's taste. He never understood why a girl would wear skirts and heels when it was really cold out, or work on her hair for hours and cake on makeup when it was only gym class. Ian didn't get those kind of girls, and they just didn't do it for him. "Eh, really hope that fed your fix," he said with a shrug and a shake of his head.

Riker had nodded to Kitty earlier on that he would take care of the new girl. He took the duties he was privileged enough to get from the Mother Alpha and he took care to make sure that he did all he could to deserve those responsibilities. When it was just him and the girl, Riker gave her a grave look and looked back at the trio of Hellions, keeping his lips from curling in a snarl. "See those two right there? I dun want ya or anyone else on me team ta have anythin' ta do wit' 'em. Yer ta stay away frem them, cause I wun be bailin' anyone on me team out when they get mixed up wit' them lot. Understood?" Riker asked her looking at her face carefully and how she reacted.
He knew how to spot a lie and if someone was planning mischief, but he wouldn't have it when it came to this. He was proud that no one on his team had anything whatsoever to do with that crowd, and he was keeping it like that. "Now lass, ya got K'8 and Sean ove' there, Heather be that lass right there an' that ove' there scarfin' down the burgers is me twin Lurai. Over there by the pool be Ana, an' dun mind her she can be a wee bit difficult but she one o' me best lassies. Jasper be playin' kickball out there, an' we got one more, Alex but he ain' here now. That be yer team lass, an' welcome," he said with a grin, hoping that his initial judgement on this girl was right. "Make yerself at home, but ye must excuse me, I got that lass over there ta attend ta."
Riker winked at Donna and then turned to grab his plate while heading for Kat. "Ya bloody minx, jus' had ta come in there then ta try an' distract me. I oughta punish ye fer that," he said slipping an arm around her waist and nuzzling neck, nipping at it discreetly. He couldn't get enough of her scent, the mixture of earth, salt, licorice and rum combined together in an intoxicating blend. Riker glanced over at Cyclops and Beast for a moment before tugging Kat's waist. "C'mon lass, I'm checkin' on Chase after that escapade. Do me a favor an' dun get mixed up wit' that lot there, it just not be worth it. As ya see it ain' nothin' ta be proud of." He looked from Chase to Frostbite and back to Chase again.
When they got to the table, he sat on the bench opposite of Chase and pulled Kat down to join him, arm latched firmly across her waist as he let his fingers dip under the hem of her shirt once in awhile. "Well mate, how ye feelin' after that?" he looked at Chase with an amused look and almost smug how that all turned out. Truth be told, had it been his own lass, Riker may have done much worse and made the marks stay, but a lesson was a lesson.

Scott was bound and determined to make this whole family mindset work. He was fully committed to the idea for a number of reason. It only made sense that he lead by example and now all of the eyes that were on him would judge his next move. He felt the burden of leadership, but also the sting of the need to do as he wanted to with regard to Emma's Hellion refuseniks. The battle inside of his own id and ego struggling for dominance made him almost lose his 'military bearing' and snap at the two young men.
Considering all that had been said in the teachers meeting he opted for a complete change of tactic. Got to put my own attitude aside, this is not about me. There are far bigger things at stake here and soothing my own ego is not worth making a mess of the harmony we are trying to bring about. My only hope in the light of what's happening, my last hope would be a better way to say it, is to turn the tables on them both. Not good at this... Emma, I hope you're right with all of this.
He trusted his girlfriend with far more than the simple things. She had been the one to help him when it seemed no other could, and now he needed more than anything to believe and to follow what she had told him. Looking up from the grill he smiled as he tried to think of how exactly to come across to these two, jammed up at the juvenile delinquent stage, miscreants. Slowly a smile formed on his face as he relaxed and let go of his hard-assed drill instructor attitude.
Feeling completely ridiculous and stupid, as well as a little exposed without a hard shell of attitude to deflect what might come his way he chuckled ever so slightly. Warming up to the words he would say, needing to really sell it he smiled brighter. "Well I, I suppose I owe you both a bit of thanks then. I'm sure Chase will appreciate, just as I do, what importance manners play in any sort of social situation. He's tough, and you're right he will recover, let's hope you make a better teacher than I do Norrison... Thanks." He nodded ever so slightly to Inflict.
"And Brock, I am so glad you are enjoying my cooking. If I had known that you liked it I would have done you the honor a long time ago. It's good to see you both here with us all." He smiled again at Rumble, warmly and laughed a little. "And you as well, please, don't hesitate Rose, grab a burger if you'd like. The hot dogs went quick but I've got a few more on and almost done to perfection. OH, and these tiny pizza will be ready soon, so if you want to wait a minute.. but if you had something else in mind I'm sure we have it here somewhere."
OK easy does it Scott, don't go over the top with it. "Chase you alright?" he called over to the table. Knowing the effects of Inflicts power lasted for a short while, but seeing how much blood he had lost Scott did have some concern. It wasn't any more than he might have lost if he had gone to donate some blood, but it might leave him light headed and certainly in a bit of shock. "Ian, Riker... have him drink, orange juice if we have some. Watch his eyes and don't let him walk just yet."
Scott turned and looked over to Beast. His eyebrow raised above his ruby shades and with the slightest nod of his head he silently issued the order asking him to look after Kurt's boy. As for Scott himself.... He had done it. He had faced the three headed hydra, done his best to beguile with charm, to diffuse with gracious appreciation, and now he had committed the cardinal sin... he had turned his back to his 'foe', or foes in this case. He trusted completely in Emma and in the hope of some measure of peace for this world of theirs, the only home many would ever know. He wanted it to be a happy home so much so that he was willing to be the sacrificial lamb led to slaughter, in more ways then one.

Penny held the door with her butt as she walked slowly out of the kitchen. She had to go slowly to keep from dropping the pies she held in both hands and the one she had balanced on her right arm. The two apple pies hadn't been hard to make. She'd peeled and sliced all the apples in the rec room while watching cartoons because there was no room at all in the kitchen. Only when people began to clear out had she gotten in to use the oven and the pies were now steaming hot as she'd just removed them and in her eagerness to get outside hadn't given them time to cool. The pumpkin pie was harder. She'd never made one before and somewhere things had gone just a little bit wrong so it was kind of soupy.
Letting the door go, with a slam, she walked out to the row of tables and tried to find an empty place for the pies. Where's k'8? I hope she saved me a seat. She put the pies down and walked along the row of tables until she saw her friend. "K'8, you've got to try to the pie," she cried out cheerfully. "I've got cinnamon apple, dutch apple, and what was going to be pumpkin." With a giggle she added, "It turned into soup. Pumpkin soup pie. It's to die for."

Kyle saw from the jacuzzi all that just happened and when Inflict touched his friend that was enough for him. He knew he would regret it, but he knew that Inflict was the guy that got him in such a serious way with his powers as they were now. He had been getting better, he knew it, he could feel his power healing with the implants that Beast had given him aiding his body. Then that all came crashing down in a white hot blur of agony and horror.
He got out all dripping and walked over to the grill. He made it look like he was hungry, rubbing his belly and smacking his lips at the smell. He was a little hungry, he was always hungry but not the way he used to be. Nothing for Kyle was the way it used to be and he hated it. His power was ruined and his rep was wasted out. He would probably never have a chance to get a girl here now, not even Frostbite and she was not even a catch any more. He felt so down on himself that he couldn't even get Rumble's sloppy seconds, but that was about to change.
He got up near them. The Hellions and he wanted to first see if Chase was recovered yet. Stopping there he looked down at you. "You ok?" he asked but Chase's shirt was soaked with blood and he was sitting next to Diesel. It was not the company he wanted to keep at all and then his anger grew. "I had a run in with that guy and believe me I'm still not right, so don't believe it if they say it gets better. It didn't for me."
