Strolling casually down to the garage, a trip he'd missed taking lately as his duties had taken priority over his hobbies, he saw a young lady on her way up to the mansion. Recognizing her from the image on the cerebra printout that Emma had gone over with him he smiled. A welcoming smile it was and the warmth of it lit his face in a most appealing way.
He said his hello's and pointed her up the way she was going, to the mansion- to her future. Letting her know who he was and that where she was headed she would be welcome. Holding her up just long enough so that when Mato found them standing there, in the middle of the one way conversation, Scott was able to ask if he would help the girl on her way. Show her the girls dorms where Rogue, who had the dubious honor of Sunday Night dorm monitor for the young ladies, would have her room assignment from Emma.
With a nod of his head, proud of the youngest member of his Corsairs and the man he was becoming he turned and walked down to where he had seen the Black Knight land. Scott trusted TrueSpirit would see the girl on her way as he saw before them the whole mass of students and someone he could only assume was a relative. "Welcome back Dane!" He said stepping up to shake hands with the Black Knight. "Been far too long. And welcome home students!"
Turning to the rest of the students looking for new faces he said "The two of you who are new, I'm Scott Summers, your Headmaster here." Noting an air of recognition he confirmed it "Yes, I'm Cyclops. Let me see, you are Sketch and you," he thought for a moment "are Hoax. Interesting since Bobby wasn't going to be picking you and Echo up until later. Resourceful, that's a good trait" he thought aloud. "Tell you what, why don't you leave your bags in the trunk young man and the rest of you put your stuff in the car and you" he pointed to Sheldon "you look like this guy's brother, yes, you can drive all the gear up to the house while the rest of them walk." It was the quick assessment of the situation, and his commanding voice that made them step to. Not only that but it was a decent idea. One vehicle, more bags than anyone wanted to carry, and a nice early evening for a walk.
"Hotwire, take charge of this. Make it happen. The Black Knight and I will head over to the Stables." He watched for a moment before pointing at Ram and motioning for him to come close. Once there he looked the boy in his eyes. Through his ruby colored lenses Jaxon could see the Headmaster's stare. It was stern but not cold or angry as he said "I realize you are used to having things your way son, but this business with your car is going to become a sore point with me. Let me make it clear to you. You are here to follow the rules and to learn, so learn this rule and follow it- your vehicle, and for that matter any vehicle, as well as the garage is off limits without supervision. I know you're new here so this is your verbal warning. You don't want to test me on this. I take my garage, and the laws of the state of New York as they pertain to underage driving very seriously. Under my roof you will do the same. I hope that's clear Ram, now go on step to."
He waved his arm for the young guy to fall in with the rest of them and head up to the mansion as he walked off with Dane who lead his winged mount to the stables. Trusting Ariel to take no lip from any of the younger students or Kelly Burns, she was a hard one and he knew she could handle the job. Dealing with Kelly over the years had given her quite the arsenal of comebacks and methods of motivating young men. In this instance he counted Splice among the young men for obvious reasons and he felt confident Ariel could handle her too. She had grown in her absence. Her time under the sea had made her Atlantean heritage far more prominent than her blue skin in Scott's eyes but Hotwire was one of his own, one of his Corsairs, so he knew she would do as he asked and accomplish the mission, simplistic as it was.

Ariel looked at her leader as he walked off with Dane and smirked slightly, looking at the group she had to deal with. She had worked around Kelly in getting her stuff out of her car, and had been slightly creeped by the kid who already knew her name and seemed to talk to her car- Hoax, she thought Cyclops had said. She had placed her stuff near the door and grabbed Kelly by the arm so he could come with them all.
"Let's go Kelly. As painlessly as possible, or I will make it painful for you," Ariel said, looking up at him with a smirk as she kept a tight grip on his wrist to keep him from running off. Of course, this occasionally did fail, but if all else failed he'd go running to gawk at Joce, which was her general direction. Heading to the group outside still talking, she swished her hips lazily as she walked, waiting for Kelly to run off in front of her. Her long black hair brushed over her bare arms with every step, and she looked over the group again. She knew the game plan and she was gonna make sure there wasn't anything that was going to happen, since things were so easily prone to happening in that school, and there was nothing stopping anyone from starting something now.
"Alright guys," she said once she got there, looking approachable yet sounding firm and clearly taking the lead, stopping to look at them all. She wondered how this group of new kids would blend into the rest of the school, and how much trouble they could cause. She made sure Kelly was still with the group, because it was still very possible to lose him even where they were, right at the school. If that happened....how capable could Cyclops think her to be? But then again, it would be easy enough to draw him out; the right equipment was in good supply. She looked to the older guy who gave everyone a ride to the school and gave a small nod. "Sheldon, right? If you wanna make sure all the stuff is in the car, you can go on up to driveway and bring everything to the front door," she told him, nodding her head towards the school.
"And the rest of you, uh, Hoax," she said, looking to the curly haired who spoke for her car, "And you..Sketch, right?" Ariel asked, pointing to the poor tall, skinny boy who Jocelyn was working her magic on. "We're all walking to the front. Is Jax here too?" she asked, looking around for the other new boy she'd seen in the garage admiring cars and waving him over after she saw Cyclops speak to him. "Come over here and join the rest of us. Waiting on you, kid," she said and waited for him to join the small group of people. She walked around Sheldon's car and looked around to make sure she wasn't missing any other new kid that might've been hiding for all she knew, and then stood with the group again, looking over at Jocelyn. With the way she looked it was sometimes hard to remember that she was younger, but it didn't hurt to have a little fun playing with someone like her. "Leave that poor boy alone, will ya? There are more fun things to do instead," Ariel said in a low enough voice so only Jocelyn could hear as she walked by her, barely brushing her arm and looking back as if she were going to apologize, but instead looked her over before putting on a flirtacious smirk and turning away.
"Now that we're all here....let's go," Ariel announced, motioning for the group of younger new kids to start moving along while she waited to hear Sheldon's car start up so he could drive up ahead of them. "Kelly, don't think about running off or I swear you'll regret it... No funny business now, the rest of you walk. No one's gonna bite you..at least no one around here right now," she said, her tone serious, but if they looked back at her they could see her smirking at her little joke, although it still wasn't true. Either way, a short walk to the front of the school was doable, and she held back a laugh, walking with the swing in her hips again just in case Jocelyn was watching. She could manage to have a little fun while carrying out her simple mission; it couldn't be that bad.

Jax merely nodded at Cyclops, walking away to join the group, his hands in his jean pockets. Technically speakin' Cyclops hadn't actually told him he couldn't sit and chill in his car- even if he had taken his keys away from him, which was indirectly saying that Jax couldn't have control over his car; but hey- Jax was a technopath, and Cyclops knew that, he should've played it safe man. Either way, it was done now. Jax was left with a warnin' and 'twas all good. Cyclops was quite a grouch the way Jaxon saw it; but hell atleast he wasn't as bad as Jay Chande. Jax's pa wouldn't have bothered with the warning; nuh-uh. He'd just lock the car away using metal locks and keys and make sure Jax wouldn't go anywhere near it if he saw Jax using his powers with the car.
Jay was seriously Mutant phobic, and he'd thought if it was ignored, it might eventually go away, but Jax's powers stayed right where they were, and Jax practised using them on the smallest devides he could find; perfectioning his power to the highest level he could muster. He was still beginning out; he could only download data efficiently so far and manipulate small or familiar devices. He was workin' on the freestyle, it'd be a while until he got to the butterfly. Jax sighed, trying to get his mind away from thinkin' bout his pa or whatever the hell'd just happened with Cyclops. Instead, his mind absently started searching for electronic devices around him, and the first thing he sensed was from the blue chick in front of him: an image inducer.
Oh man. Jax dug around the inducer's interior for a bit, trying to figure out exactly how it worked- the specifications. Once he thought he'd figured the theory out, he figured he may as well test it; what was life without some experiments and fun, huh? Jax concentrated on the device, his face resembling a 'poker face.' So... now to choose what he wanted this blue chick to turn into... hmm that? No... no hm.. maybe that... hmm.. or.. maybe.. hmm.. yes! Yes.. that. Jax fiddled with the device, powering it to do his bidding; and within a matter of a few steps, the blue chick now resembled a world-famous celeb.. except.. "Hey, Jocelyn? Why do you look like Angelina Jolie... with a blue nose?" Jax tried to hold it in for a few seconds before he burst out laughing, unable to stop. "Oh sh!t man. Oh boy. Hahahahahaha. Ah, that's a good look on you."

"Wha-HEY!" Jocelyn yelled when she looked down to see her voluptuous figure transformed into the slim versatile curves of one of her favorite celebrities. She found the pouty lipped actress to be the epitome of seduction and often made herself look like her for the fun of it. "How did you- you're a technopath! Did you say it already and I missed it or something? Oh whatever, AWESOME!" She was used to people messing with her image inducer once they found out what it was, so that didn't bug her, but she had never met a technopath before, so that was just too cool.
"I wondered how your car was running. Oh, OH!" Joce grabbed his hand and then Kelly's and began dragging them both. "Come on we so HAVE to mess with Cyclops. He hasn't had me bug him for years, and I need to make up for lost time," she said with a giggle. She adored Cyclops, really she did, but he was just so much fun to bother. As a kid, she did it cause he never smiled, or she felt that he didn't smile enough, and she would literally hang all over him whenever she got a chance. She'd run and jump him from behind, forcing a piggyback ride, or she'd fly next to him and tell him any joke she could think of. It was a similar relationship between her and Wolverine as well, but she preferred rough housing with him. She'd screw up his hair and poke him and he'd growl and throw her into a couch, making her dissolve into laughter.
In truth, Jocelyn did grow up at the X-Mansion really, she'd been there since she was really little cause the protests got really bad and her mom was too scared to keep her with her. She had been there through so much, and even though a point came where she couldn't take it anymore, she knew she'd find her way back. "They said the stables right? Man you know the last time they were in use I was like... I don't know 12? Something like that, it was around the time. Anyways," Joce turned to Jax with a wicked grin. "I will so take the fall if you do this for me. Is there a way that you can connect me to his X-Communicator with my cell? Cause I will have so much fun screwing with him. You know he can't turn that thing off, so I'll have my fun."
Joce giggled and gave him her newfound famous smirk that she knew from experience was near irresistible with her lips curled up in such an alluring way that it was infectious to all genders. She let go of Kelly's hand and clicked a couple of buttons on the image inducer, transforming her into a living, breathing Marilyn Monroe. Joce gave Jax that famous Marilyn Monroe wink and grinned. "Whadda ya say fella, show a girl a good time?" she said in that husky tempting voice, if only to get a grin out of him. He looked like the kind that was game for this kind of stuff anyways.

Jax smirked at Jocelyn, unable to hold back a chuckle. "You don't have to do the whole sexy thing, I was in the moment you mentioned messing with him." Jax and trouble just went together hand in hand. Man he'd been in this place for what like... a day now? And he'd already managed to be paralyzed by some punky dude and get into a tiff with a fellow team member. The pattern wasn't hard to spot. "Not that I'm complaining." he added, grinning at the chick, who Jax just couldn't place with the other girls for some reason, probably 'cause of the fact that she was Blue. She was hot as hell, and man, Jax would've given all the guys a treat by 'causing the inducer to turn her naked or into her lingerie or something, but Jax grew up in an Indian household, and from day 1 he was taught how to respect women.
"Hmm... I'd have to tap into the frequency for the X-Communicator and get your phone on the same frequency. You have radio- right?" His question was rehtorical, considering as soon as he asked it he just mentally scanned her phone and grinned as he found the radio. "Alright you do. Cool- now... hmm... we've gotta hurry ahead, I need to be a little closer to the thing to be able to get the frequency." Jax smirked at Joce and the other guy who had food-related powers, and beckoned them forwards while jogging ahead to get to the courtyard where the campus split into three different routes.
"And... ah! I can sense it... but gotta get a bit closer." Jax jogged further on until he was just about a quarter way down the path which lead to the Stables. "Gottit! Right... frequency... hmm.." Jax shut his eyes in concentration as he tried to sync his brain with the communicator to get the frequency at which the device worked. It took him roughly a minute, because he didn't normally do this kinda thing; which meant it was still something new he was simply testing. Lucky for him, his theory skills were pretty damn good 'cause he'd got hold of the frequency. Now to sync the radio on Joce's phone to the same frequency.
Jax messed around with the radio, trying to tune it to the frequency using his head, too lazy to ask for the device and do it manually, plus it was easier editing the internal sofware. "Th.. no wait... hmmm.. yes! There you go. That should be it." He was full of grins now, as he crossed his arms across his chest. "Give it a go- I've tuned your phone to be on the same frequency as his X-Communicator, so... you've gotta do it this way- click on the radio, press the call button twice and you should be able to send him a message. To shut the connection off just press the end-call button twice. I think that should do it." Jax smirked, waiting for the chick to try out his funky new manipulation while he turned over to look at the guy.
"You man, have an awesome power. It's a dream come true for any guy." he added, throwing a light punch to his shoulder.

No funny business? What did Ariel think he was going to do, throw a pie? He detested being treated like a child, but irritated as he was, Dor followed behind the older girl dutifully. It seemed far easier than getting zapped, and he was too full from the restaurant to bother arguing. He stopped paying attention, a small smile creeping onto his face while he listened to the path under his shoes calmly inform him that it didn’t appreciate wads of gum being dropped and ground into it. “Hush,” he whispered. Of course the stones didn’t listen. Rocks and such rarely paid him any mind. They could be incredibly stubborn and hardheaded.
Dor spared Jocelyn a minute glance as she skipped off with Jax and Kelly, his dark eyes disinterested. He hadn’t discovered anything of value from the handful of belongings on the trio, but they didn’t really strike him as people of interest. Entertaining, maybe, but not the type that he would waste his time with. There were far more interesting people to get to know. To dissect and learn from. Learn about. Dor cast a look at Cyclops and Dane over his shoulder. He managed to keep a perfectly bored look on his face while his mind turned over everything the X-man’s funky goggles had just told him in a stern, clipped voice. It seemed that things were a touch stressful in the Mansion.
See?
Interesting.
It was a shame that Dor had not been able to really question the goggles for more detail, but he could hardly pry secrets out of the inanimate while Cyclops was wearing them. Dorian Jonah Jameson had an image to uphold and he wasn’t about to blow it two minutes after arriving. He would be polite and he would be charming. He would keep the things he heard filed that all away for later, until he knew what he wanted out of this experience.
In the meantime… “Ariel. Aside from the big fella havin a stick up his butt what’s the deal here? Ain’t really a website to get information, ya know?”
