Katie twisted her lips up and walked over to grab the remote control and flick off the television. Turning back around she saw Sara, and her brain sparked with rage 'That bitch took my chair!!! I was just sittin there, what the HELL!?!'
k'8 decided to sit on the other chair, the one at the other end of the couch nearer to Kitty. "Am I in trouble now?" she asked, her paranoia growing "Cause I didn't do that to the kitchen, I swear it wasn't my fault. I bit my tongue."

Still a little disapointed in the girl Katie, Karma nodded toward her two fellow teachers and continued her walk with Jenny toward the door. Hearing her request to get Roger some hot chocolate, her smile returned to her face and her eyes softened. She was so innocent at times that it amazed X'ian to think that anyone could not love her. "Of course Jenny, if Roger would like some hot chocolate, then I am sure we can get some for him, maybe you'd like some too? I'm sure i do." she said softly to her little charge. She loved the child as she did all the students at this school and she was still slightly angered that someone had hurt her, but she refused to let her anger show around Jenny, she needed someone happy and strong now.
Turning to miss frost before she let, Karma nodded slowly and spoke a little louder than she had to Jenny, "Call me if you need me miss Frost." before nodding her head and turning back to Jenny, "Come on, we have some hot chocolate to make." she whispered in an almost cheeky voice, knowing that there might be a big mess made with the hot chocolate in the preparation process. How easily things made her smile at times.

"Yes, thank you again Karma." Emma said as she settled deeper into her seat. "Now ladies, as I understand it there is a ruined kitchen, a giant Golem, demons from Limbo," She began listing off the days events as she counted them on her fingers.
"Our resident dragon- Guardian as well as Aqua have both gone a bit off. k'8 you were nearly frozen to death-dropped to your death-and scared to death, it had little effect on your outlook." She looked at Katie with a concern that a mother has for a child she doesn't quite understand. "And you Sara have been trying to see me privately for days since you arrived- you only have to knock on my door." Her face warmed with a different kind of concern one that showed she wished she could be everywhere she was needed at the moment she was most needed by her kids. "The thing I want to know is why, since it was quite apparent as we walked in, are you two at each other's throats? You're supposed to be team-mates."
Looking over at Shadowkat she spoke a telepathic message shaking her head slightly as she raised her eyebrows 'This ought to be good.'

Kitty watched as Karma left, and then turned to the matter at hand, looking from Emma to the two girls who sat away from each other. As each of her young charges were addressed, she watched their expressions as well as the headmistress’s, who seemed to have different aspects of motherly concern.
As she too waited for answers from the girls in regards to the question asked of them, Kitty heard Emma’s voice in her head and looked to see her shaking her head slightly with raised eyebrows. In reaction, she let a hint of a smirk play across her lips as she too was curious as to why it seemed few of her team couldn’t get along with each other let alone stand to be in the same room. ’Definitely, it’s a bit of a shame my own team can’t get along with each other.’

Lucy walked into the room her fingers on one hand twirling a tiny piece of her hair and the others in a tight fist at her mouth. The recreation room was a very big room and all the people in the room were quite intimidating. She was slightly scared, but she saw the snow white hair of the woman who came to her home. "Hello" she said softly her cheeks flushing slightly. Her skinny arms fell to her side. She curtsied slightly at all the women in the room. "I'm Lucy Slyter" she said bowing her head slightly. Her manners were something that her father told her to pride on. He said that manners were one of the most important things in the world.

Leaning forward Emma smiled wide and said to the little one with the wonderful manners "Hello Lucy Slyter, I'm Emma Frost you remember me of course. I have heard you were here, running about and having fun in our school but you didn't stop by to see me." She waved the girl over to her so she could fix her little collar as it had turned up on one side.
"It's quite alright as many people like to get settled in before saying hi" she said whispering. Speaking softly to the girl with slightly more volume she said as she pointed "Let me introduce Miss Pryde, she is a teacher here and these two young ladies are Sara and Katie. We are having a talk in here now, it's sort of private but I know that Karma and Jenny were waiting for you to come and play with them. They're in the kitchen now making hot chocolate and I bet they could use a hand."

With unusual boldness Sara answered the headmistress: "Well, there was some trouble this morning in the kitchen with Kate's demons, which really wasn't her fault...but it happened and they scared everybody and I snapped at her to make sure they left my kid alone, and now things are tense...and, well, I was angry then, sure, but I don't want to be her enemy...really, I don't." Sara stopped there as she was getting progressively more upset and more incoherant as tears welled up in her eyes.

Lucy nodded up at the headmistress. "Thank you Miss" she said and curtsied once more before turning to leave, going towards where she thought the kitchen was.

"Yes, sweetheart, it's straight out that way and across the hall I'm sure you'll hear them in there." Emma said as she watched the tiny Alpha member as she left.
Nodding acknowledgment to Sara's reply to her inquiry she turned her attention to K'8 and waited for her to answer.

Katie waited until the little girl left the room, just in case her language was to slip. She didn't want to say any obscenities in front of the little one. "Well, I don't know why really. I just thought she was teaming up on me with all the others in there. I think Aqua hates me, and I know Guardian wanted to kill me for a second too so I would guess he's not a friend either. I am just one kid and I don't like to be teased or messed with, it's why I stay to myself and don't have any friends."
"I wish she wouldn't have followed me in here either cause..." D'mnchylds eyes began to fill up as she confessed "Cause I was so mean to that little girl just now and it's all HER fault!" she cried out pointing at Sara as she fought back hard on her tears. "I wont be a target anymore Miss Frost. I have always been the freak, and I'm done taking crap for it. Sorry for everything, cussin and wrecking the kitchen and making everybody mad and being mean to little Jenny, all of it"
She put her face in her hands and her body started to shake with silent sobs. "And now " she said trying to catch herself and stop crying "even" she took a deep breath "even my demons hate me." As her crying began to subside, denying herself the chance to release her pain she muttered "I totally suck, I wish I was dead."

Speaking softly and gently Sara said to Kate, "I'm so sorry...please don't wish to die...things will be ok. Guardian and Aqua should never have done what they did, and I shouldn't have snapped at you either. I'm sorry...really. If you want, maybe, we could still be friends. If not, that's your choice, but I promise I won't tease you." After feeling angry at Kate earlier, now Sara felt a lot of sympathy for her and wished she had kept better control of her own behavior.

Kitty couldn't help but smile as she saw that another little one was running around, and was delightfully surprised to see the pleasant manners she presented when introducing herself. As she was pointed out to little Lucy, she nodded her head with a kind smile, letting Emma finish politely telling the girl that it was best for her to leave because of what was about to be discussed; not really for the ears of a child her age. She retained the smile even as Sara spoke up with a boldness that she had not seen come from her, though she could easily see the stroke of boldness was soon failing her for her voice was starting to break and her eyes were watering. As her charge finished, the little girl left and Kitty turned her attention to k’8.
K’8 had more to say, and in the team leader’s opinion it explained a lot; what was the reason for the way she acted, and how conflicted she seemed to be with making friends and keeping them, as well as having to deal with being different and treated differently. It made sense, and as she saw that hurting Jenny had hurt k’8 as well, and even driving the others crazy she was sorry for. Kitty couldn’t help but frown in concern as she saw the girl start to shake with upcoming sobs as she tried holding back tears as she explained that even her demons, her only friends had turned on her; something Kitty had been present to see. With hearing the last sentence as she gained composure, Kitty shook her head, unable to not say something, but then Sara spoke, and she let her.
She was happy to see that Sara was willing to reconcile, and smiled a little at the thought that she was willing to make amends. Still, she had to say something to k’8 as well. “k’8, don’t ever say that, you do not at all suck, and I would much rather you alive. Like Sara said, things will be okay. I’m here for you, as I am for the rest of your team and whoever else might need me,” she said, looking from k’8 to Sara, and gave a small smile to Emma. Her team seemed to need a bit of bonding in her opinion, because after what happened today, the majority of the people involved were from her team. For that, she needed to be a better leader she thought, and she needed to help bring them all together.

Just inside the foyer of the mansion......
Hearing familiar voices from the rec-room, Gina started walking through the foyer to see if she was right in guessing she heard Kitty talking. As she walked through the foyer she heard a sound of the elevator opening.
With a quick turn of her head she looked to see the elevator doors open and no one inside it, but then glanced down a bit and saw a little blond haired boy. "Hey. You must be new here, my names Gina. Are you guys supposed to be down there?" she asked not wanting the kid to get in trouble for being 'below decks' as Cyclops once said regarding the lower levels of the school. It had stuck with her and she thought it sounded cool enough to write a song with that in the chorus.
"Just don't want you gettin' yelled at for bein' someplace you shouldn't." She took a look at him, sizing him up as she had been trained to do by Emma all those years ago. "Dontcha worry though I aint gonna say anything. So what's your name?" Decibel asked the little guy, he looked like he was in a hurry.

When he'd left the lab he was mad at being told to go, but pruod as well. Proud that he had stuck up for himself and been true to who he is, it was after all not something he could change, and he didn't want to. Not anymore at least.
As he entered the elevator he pushed the button and leaned against the smooth metal cromed insides of the elevator and felt it's cool temperature and the vibration as it rose up to the ground floor.
When the doors opened he took a second to step out and he saw some older chick standing there sorta listening. The sound of the elevator made her turn and notice him and he heard her voice. It was a cool sounding voice, like a rockstar, and she looked the part too. The only problem he noticed as he got closer was she smelled like one too. "Uh, it's alright they let us-" he caught himself and thought 'who is this person anyway?'
She introduced herself, and looked like she belonged here, so he shrugged and said "My name's Kevin, call me Hardlight!"

BACK IN THE REC-ROOM-----
Emma looked at her students and then at Shadowkat. 'It appears we have our work cut out for us Kitty.' she said telepathically to her fellow X-Man.
"Alright Katie, catch your breath, we don't hate you. Nobody here truly 'hates' anyone, except for maybe Haven and even she might not be as bad as all of that." Emma said looking at the girl who still hung her head low. "Now, if I can find a good thing in the girl who wanted to kill us all, then It should be easy for you to Understand that I see the good in you."
"You should never want for death, and I would prefer that you never say anything like that again." She paused readying herself for the memories that she was about to share "It reminds me of all the people who I have lost, who are dead and who I will never see again. Friends and students, good people who are no longer able to feel anything and would trade whatever they have for a moment of the life you wish to be rid of." Her voice held a truth in it and the sound of the truth rung in their ears. "I know you didn't mean that, and I know you are scared to let yourself be you. But don't fret, just be Katie Lazaro and don't worry about who likes you or who doesn't."
She took a moment to let that sink in and then turned to Sara saying "You are going to make a wonderful mother one day but I don't understand why you are rushing it. Your Golem is going to be a lot of responsibility and now he's yours to take care of and nurture. If he gets to be too much to handle you will have to let one of the adults know about it. Don't worry we wont leave you to raise him alone."
She looked back and forth between the two of them as she said "I think you two can get beyond your differences, and we'll all work on it together." Then her focus went back to k'8 as she said "Now, for a moment more let's talk about your demons and this revelation about our friend Nightcrawler if you don't mind." Her eyebrows raised as she seemed to ask permission to change the subject, the truth of the matter was the subject needed to be raised because the longer anyone spent in Limbo the worse their chances were.
Not only did the possibility exist for the resident demons of the dimension of LIMBO to tear a person limb from limb, but the very nature of the realm of Otherplace as it was sometimes known tended to twist and turn a soul rendering it demonic itself. She trusted that both Kurt and Logan were strong enough physically to keep the Demons at bay, but how long could their strength of will truly hold out?
