As he was close to retorting to Aideens half angry speach about her 'so called' friend Haven, Jasper looked up to see another guy walk toward them and start talking. 'Hell, so much for a quiet conversation. He had better not stay, right now, i'm not in the mood for more than needed company.' he growled agrily to himself. Again, he was about to speak up when another guy, alot bigger came behind the boy with what seemed to be wolfish ears. 'Strange people here...' Then there was the blonde girl behind the large guy. 'What the hell? It's freezing, it's dark and they all congregate here!' he groaned inside his head. His anger died down a little and he shifted himself his arm staying in the bench behind Aideens back, but moving one leg over the other quickly. He looked over at the two guys with a look of what could be taken as both fury and confusion.
'Ember? Spitfire? What?! Her name is Aideen, don't they know that?!' he wondered before watching as the large guy moved in front of Aideen and started talking. It took alot of effort to try and translate what he had said, but he managed thankfully, his brow furrowing a little as he made sure in his mind that he had understood. "Aideen, der diese Leute und ist, warum sie sind, die mit Ihnen sprechen, mögen Sie sind. ...fragile. Sie sind nicht krank sind Sie? Sie haben nie mir erzählt, dass Sie waren. Was weitergeht!" *Aideen, who are these people and why are they talking to you like you are....fragile. You're not ill are you? You never told me that you were. What is going on!*[/sup] his voice rumbled quietly as he leaned over and half spoke in her ear. Although his eyes remained firmly on the larger guy in front of her. "Und warum sie sind, die Sie Glut rufen, und Spitfire!" *And why are they calling you Ember, and Spitfire!*[/sup] his words were becoming more and more urgent and confused as he spoke to her, never taking his eyes from the guy that knelt in front of Aideen, he was a little too close to him and he didn't like it.

Heather basically ran as Ian stormed and pulled her through the mansion. She couldn't blame him since he was very upset. To be honest she was too. Jumper didn't have any right to say what he did. When he handed his coat to her she didn't bother to argue. Might as well. And it IS cold, she agreed. Heather took Ian's jacket and placed the over sized garment over her GIANTS sweatshirt. The sleeves were longer than her hands and she rolled them as quickly as possible before following Ian toward the lake.
Seeing that Onyx guy there surprisingly didn't shock her. He and Aideen had things in common when it came to keeping to themselves. However this wasn't the case anymore. Aideen wasn't the Aideen Heather and Ian came to know. Heather stood by as she watched Ian show his affection. God he is so caring, she concluded. She slapped herself in her mind however, realizing she was allowing her feelings tie into her thoughts again. Looking away, in order to avoid having her feelings for the Acolyte return, Heather bit her lip and concentrated on what he was saying to Aideen. "Yeah... thanks," she said softly. It was all she could say.
Heather glanced at Onyx and noticed his annoyance. He seemed confused, especially since he was talking to Aideen in German. Wait she can speak German? What kind of girl is she?

Without hesitation, Aideen automatically wrenched her hands from Ian's grasp, her body stiffening on its own accord. That's odd... why did I just do that? Just like with Jasper. How odd. She answered Jasper first in plain English. "Ember is my mutant name and Spitfire is his name for me," she said indicating Ian. "I don't know why they are treating me like I am fragile, since I am perfectly fine. I am not ill nor is anything wrong with me," she said in her lifeless soft voice. Aideen looked over at Riker with her unchanging expression. "Please tell HeartString I will be along shortly. Perhaps sooner than I expected," she said looking over at Ian and Heather. What is it with those looks of pity that I keep getting? And Ian is far too close. What is it with guys not understanding personal space with me?
"Sorry for ruining your sweater Ian, I'll buy you a new one. And why would you thank me? I did my duty. That is the honorable thing to do," she said in a far off voice as she scooted back on the bench. All these people were overwhelming her slightly and she didn't feel comfortable in the presence of so many at once. Aideen cast her dark lifeless eyes at Ian in front of her and Heather behind him. "Why are you here?" she asked plainly. I did a good job avoiding people till now. I should do that, it is acceptable. No one should get close cause that is dangerous. At least this jacket is warm. Like my jogging suit, but this one smells different. Nice different.

Ian looked down at his hands and then at her incredulously. "Are you kidding me? Spitfire I don't give a shit about the sweater. I care about you! God damnit babe, you saved all of us from a homicidal rabid tiger dude! Because of you, the rest of us got away from some serious injuries. I can heal, but the rest of the couldn't take on that guy!" he said loudly raising his voice. "Aideen you're not fine babe. This ain't the same girl who blew me that 'fire kiss' at the Christmas Party. You ain't the same chick who threatened to roast me on a daily basis. You're not freaking fine," he said in a much softer voice that was filled with the sadness he felt for his friend. and placed his hands on her knees, looking at her. This is worst than I thought. Look at this she ain't Spitfire no more. Aideen didn't deserve to have none of this happen to her, Ian thought not once taking his eyes off of her.
Ian completely ignored the other two guys and kept his eyes on his friend. "Babe, you need to come with me and Heather to the Doc's lab," he said slowly, his voice full of emotion as his heart broke for the girl that he really did consider a good friend. She looked out for all of them and it left her broken in the end. It's not supposed to be like that.

Ok this was going a little overboard, did this guy not see that she didn't want to be treated like she was going to break any minute? Slowly, Jasper shook his head and sighed slowly. "Aideen, vhat in ze name of gad, iz zhis guy on about. I understand about...Sabertooth vhas it? But...vhy is he talking about fire kisses und roasting people. Vhat zhe 'ell iz going on!?" he asked, feeling very confused and hating it. He hated not knowing what was going on, especially when he was in the place where it was happening. "Wird Sie bitte erzählen mir, was diese Leute auf ungefähr sind, und erzählen mir, der sie sind. Ich bin verwirrt. Und wer ist dieser Doktor, ich habe gedacht, dass Sie gesagt haben, dass Sie fein, Ihres nicht krankes waren, warum brauchen Sie einen Doktor? Aideen, ist dies normal mit diesen Leuten?" *Will you please tell me what these people are on about, and tell me who they are. I'm confused. And who is this doctor, i thought you said you were fine, your not ill, why do you need a doctor? Aideen, is this normal with these people?*[/sup] he said quickly to her after finally turning to look at her. His icy eyes filled with pure confusion.

Riker felt the air fill with unnecessary tension. The prescience of Ian obviously not helping the mood that Ember seemed to be in. 'Oh dude wrong place, wrong time' Riker thought to himself. He turned to Ember when she addressed him. "Will do, don't stay out here to long, you'll catch a cold, and I don't think you want to be sneezing up fire, nothing will be safe" he said with a wink and a laugh. He half saluted before speaking once again. "I'll see you inside, good luck with this situation" he said with a sympathetic smile. "Remember, you can always escape to the creamy deliciousness of some hot chocolate" he added turning around completely and beginning to walk back to the school. "I'm sorry, I don't know what's worse, going through something shitty or having someone make you talk about it. People just don't get it, sometimes all a person needs is to be alone" he said to himself as he thought about how many times he'd left Lurai to figure things out herself. "You have to accept it, not them, do what you want Ember, your the only one in control of yourself, you owe them nothing" he added in just above a whisper as he continued his journey back to the school, hoping that they would not drive her insane.

Heather remained in her place, not really noticing the fact that Riker was there until he spoke again. "Oh hey Riker," she said softly. "Sorry I didn't... I'm just a bit out of it," she continued with a wince. Hearing Ian and the Onyx guy show so much emotion toward Aideen made her feel confused, but also happy. Heather was happy that other people besides her, cared about the fire bender. Sure, she had her moments of being cold or just making one feel awkward, but she was still a human being. A human being with feelings and with blood flowing in her body. As long as Aideen was alive, people would know her and care for her whether she liked it or not.
Standing by, Heather made herself warm by wrapping Ian's coat tighter against her slender frame. It smelled like him, and oddly, Heather's heart began to sink again. The way it use to when she first started liking him.

Aideen looked between the two of the men, feeling trapped and naturally becoming a bit more defensive, though she knew that Ian would never hurt her and she was pretty sure Jasper wouldn't. It was just odd being surrounded by these two guys hounding her for information. Aideen turned to Jasper first, seeing as he was the closest (if possible) to her. "Ich habe ihn nicht gemocht, als er zuerst gekommen ist, und ich habe es offensichtlich gemacht. Das ist was der Feuerkuss und alle dass um Braten ihn. Ich weiß nicht, warum ich bin, den Doktor zu sehen, habe ich Sie um irgendeine Krankheit nicht angelügen. Schaue ich krank zu Ihnen an? Ich weiß nicht, warum sie hier sind, will ich sie hier nicht," I did not like him when he first came, and I made it apparent. That is what the fire kiss and all that about roasting him. I don't know why I am to see the Doctor, I did not lie to you about any illness. Do I look ill to you? I don't know why they are here, I don't want them here. she said to him softly felling very trapped. I don't know why everyone is getting so emotional. I am fine, just doing my duty.
Aideen stared at Ian's large hands on her knees, growing very uncomfortable and slightly wary. Her body for some reason did not seem comfortable with him being so close and knees were too much of a more intimate body part. "Ian, I did my duty and I am a better person for it. And why would I need to go with you to Beast's Lab?" she said softly, though she refused to look at Ian and kept her eyes on his hands warily. What on Earth is going on with them? It's like I'm a sideshow at the circus. I liked my time with little company.

Ian kept his eyes on Aideen the whole time, not paying much attention to the guy next to her that spoke in a weird language. His concern was his friend not the other dude who doted on her. When Ian heard her speak German too, he almost smiled. 'Duh Spitfire would know a weird ass languages. She's like a super crazy Captain or something,' he thought before he noticed the way she kept her eyes his hands. Ian lifted them up and cupped her face.
"Spitfire you're not you and you know it. But you gotta come with us. Babe... Wolverine and Nightcrawler aren't dead. They're trapped in Limbo, which is like hell. We could save them babe. You gotta come babe," he said softly forcing her emotionless eyes to meet his. 'She's gotta know I'm not bullshitting her. She needs to come with me so she could be okay. Wolverine will make her okay,' he thought desperately searching her dead face.

About to open his mouth -again - to talk to Aideen about what the hell was going on with these people. When suddenly... and explosion? It sounded like one, although, facing the lake and listening to this guys drivvling love sick talk to Aideen meant that he had to move quickly and listen. "Be quiet!" he instructed as he moved off the bench and looked out toward where he though the noise had come from. Sure enough, in the darkness, he could just about make out what looked like an explosion. "Scheiße! Was im Namen von Gott das war! Kann Sie sehen das! Scheiße, was das fickt, geht in diese Schule weiter!" *Shit! What in the name of god was that! Can you see that! Shit, what the freak is going on in this school!*[/sup] he yelled, standing tall in all his 6'2 figure. He felt his lip curl back over his teeth slightly and he let out what sounded like a sort of light growl. This was not good. Not good at all.
"Can somevhan please tell me vhat ze hell iz going on 'ere. Vhe need to go und zee vhat zhat vas." He growled in his cardboard like english, looking more to Aideen in an urgent pleading sort of way. His lip still curled slightly and his stance in a fight kind of position. "Never mind zhe doctor come on!" he urged, his eyes craning back to the smoke that was rising over the flames, it was quite far away, but not too far that they could go and help if anyone had been hurt. Slowly, he felt anger rising in him again, if there was someone hurt over there, than he felt like it was his 'duty' to get them help. Especially if it was a car accident, he had been in too many of them himself to know that time was urgent and the more help that could be gathered, the better.

The sound of the explosion rang deaf in Aideen's ears, since the only thing she heard was the ones out of Ian's mouth. They're alive? Logan is alive? ...No it can't be none of this makes sense... Who am I kidding, Logan was my friend of course he's dead. Anyone who's my friend will always end up dead. Uncle said I am destined to live a life alone. That means anyone I care for will die, because that is my destiny. She stared at him blankly and then pushed his hands away from her face. "I can tolerate the pity, but you don't need to lie to me. As I said I am fine, deal with it," Aideen pushed him away from her with all her strength and stood up, watching the lights. "That's pretty," she said, her mind shutting down even more with the glimmer of hope that she felt within her. I must not think like that, I must accept my duty. I let myself slip in Jasper's presence. No more, Uncle wouldn't be happy. No not at all. Then I won't disappoint him anymore.
She walked past Jasper in a disinterested manner just like before and walked calmly to the heat and explosion and pretty lights and sparks. It's so pretty, just like Stones' car. I had fun in that car. Aideen walked calmly towards it, wanting a chance to play with some fire. And get warmer. It's nice to be warm... his jacket is warm too. I should give it back, but its so warm. If I'm warmer by the explosion, I'll give it back so I won't ruin it like Ian's jacket. She remained in her own world, mannequin like as she walked toward the big explosion area.

"PRETTY!" he exploded, his eyes wide and teeth bared as he threw his arms behind him in rage. The red glow came back slowly, finger by finger as each word came of out him. "Aideen I don't know vhat ze freak is going on in zhat 'ead of yours, but zhat iz anyzhing but pretty. Vhat vhould you zhink if zhere are people dieing zhere, vhat zhen!" he screamed, the red glowing starting to form a crackling noise, followed by a low hum. He was angry, and upset, and worried and all she cared about was that it was 'pretty'. Well hell if he let that stand by. He growled angrily and looked back to the other two, "Vhell?" he yelled, anger flaring in his icy blue eyes before he turned again, not waiting for their reply.
He made a start toward Aideen, going to reach out to them, before deciding against it and walking almost trembling beside her. He didn't want to run off and he wasn't going to let her go alone, but they would go see what had happened if he had to throw Aideen over his shoulder and force her to go. 'If this looks anything like i remember back home, and i've been in some things there, then hell, i dont know what is going to happen. I don't give a crap about these people here, i hate them, but hell if i let anyone get seriously hurt.' he grumbled angrily to himself, walking with his arms swaying by his side as he kept his teeth bared, snarling quietly to himself while trying to form a plan in his mind.

Ian was in shock by her response. 'What the hell? She doesn't believe me? No, no no that's not how its gonna work. I did not get my pants ripped and go through all that shit to have her blow off something that I know will help her. Screw this damn place, I think I would be safer enlisting in the army than in this school with all the crap thats going on. I'm not even old enough to buy porn and I already had several near death experiences and went through more in three days than I did my entire life. This place is shit that gives you no break. Now I'm taking my freaking break,' he thought as he watched the explosion. He was done caring about it and in only a couple of steps, grabbed Aideen by the shoulders and spinning her around roughly. "No, screw the explosion Spitfire, you're done playing hero. There are teachers here and let them do their job to protect us. The only place you're going is to Beast's lab," Ian said with narrowed eyes.
He grabbed her easily and did little better than drop her by the bench. "I don't lie Aideen. They're alive! I know what happened, I found out today! I don't know how you got mixed up in that fight with Wolverine and Sabretooth, but I'm telling you that they are alive. Wolverine is alive, freaking do something about it! Ask Heather, she was there! Hell go ask Cyclops, he will tell you! You'd believe him wouldn't you? They're alive Spitfire! He's freaking alive and its not the time for you to play hero," Ian said with a raised voice pissed beyond belief that she would think he was lying and was avoiding the situation.

She waited to see Aideen's reaction. Logan and Nightcrawler were alive and it was a fact. Hopefully Aideen would finally get out of the weird state she was in. Then the explosion occurred, and Heather darted her head into the direction of the noise. The red and orange glaze was visible from where they were. "Oh shit," she said softly to herself. "No no nononononono." She didn't want another attack from the Brotherhood. They were already back so soon? What was their problem? THEY WERE JUST KIDS!!
Her heart beating frantically, Heather looked back to Ian, Aideen and Onyx, hoping that they would quickly return to the mansion. Heather was shocked even more however, as the fire bender claimed Ian to be a liar. Then Onyx became more angry. He began to have red sparks emerge from his hands and Heather took a step back, unaware of her holding Ian's jacket tighter around her body. She was able to calm a bit as Ian's voice was rising against Aideen's accusation. "He is alive Aideen. Even the teachers said so!! Please lets go back now!! We need to get out of here!!" With that, Heather took a few steps toward the direction of the mansion, hoping that the three would follow without hesitation.

Aideen didn't wince or show the slightest sign of discomfort when Ian grabbed her. Ouch. Well that hurt a little bit. Guess I got him angry too. She looked at him with wide eyes and slowly felt something within her shift as his words rang out with suck such conviction in her ears. When Heather confirmed it, Aideen looked down at the ground away from both of them feeling herself go into an odd state, where for a brief moment she looked extremely scared and vulnerable. Alive... That can't be though, he didn't come back and Sabretooth did. I remember how worried I got... and then when they announced it at the Hanger I had hope he'd return still and I wouldn't have another death on my hands. But last night confirmed it. His trail ended at that crater thing and there was no more to look for. I saw that. Why can't people just let it drop? I'm tired of losing my friends and anyone I care about. But they said Cyclops would tell me, and he was nice enough to not punish me or send me off when he found out I disobeyed orders. And he actually tired to help me look for Logan. He wouldn't lie to me to make me feel better...
Aideen stared at the floor, lost in her own world of thought, ignoring the people around her and staying in her own little world of thoughts, not quite ready to leave it yet in this state of weakness. She was doing her best to sort it out all logical answers. Uncle said to always relay on my instincts...
