Able to close her mouth and not look like a total loser, Heather regained control of her body and cleared her throat. "Um no no we weren't hurt, we weren't near it at all," she added after Ian. "Hope you guys were OK." She looked over to Sara, wondering why she was upset. Obviously she was able to actually talk to The Dazzler herself, however that wasn't the most important thing at the moment. The question was, what was that explosion and who caused it.
Feeling a bit better than before, Heather followed everyone into the elevator. She shook her head as she remembered Ian's question of having The Dazzler sign his arm. A slight giggle escaped her lips, however she refrained from further noise. Returning the excited glance Ian gave her, Heather looked back to Aideen and Onyx with the corner of her eyes.

Karma had been trying ever sohard to try and calmly sooth her young charges, patting their shoulders petting their heads and making soft 'shh' noises as the ruccus had erupted in the kitchen. It was going to be a toguh time it seemed, as nothing ever seemd to stop being blown up or frightening her girls. "Alright girls, calm down calm down, now, everybody is still here yes? Now, I want you all to promise me, and i mean promise, that you will not go away on your own now alright? You need to stay here with me. This is a time where we as a group need to stick together and keep each other happy alright? Jenny, you know how this works, you stay indoors until you are told otherwise and if someone tells you to do something, a teacher preferably, you do it. That goes for the both of you two too." she ordered, pointint to all three of her girls with a stern look she had tried very hard not to ever use, as she so loved her girls.
"Now, unless the headmaster or headmistress tell us otherwise, w will not leave this kitchen alright? Do you all understand me? We shall stay here and play games and talk to each other alright? I'm going to stay here with you and make sure you'll be alright." she said finally as a small smile crept back onto her face, although, she was desperate to look outside to see what was going on, Xi'an knew what would happen. She would be compelled to go help, and right now, her girls needed her more than she was needed. "Now, grab your hot chocolates before they get cold and come and sit over at this table with me" she said, motioning to a small kitchen table with - conveniently - 4 chairs around the sides of them.

Lucy nodded pulling her hot chocolate to herself and walking with Karma over to the table. Everything had happened so fast and so many people had come and go she'd lost track, the loud boom and everything had caused her to get anxious. "Miss Karma is everyone going to be okay?" she asked her innocent face looking up at the older woman. Everything so complicated and confusing at the present time.

Regaining her smile again, Karma nodded down at her young charge, picking up her own hot chocolate before it went cold. "Don't worry Lucy, everything will be fine. As long as we all stick together, then we'll all be alright. Don't panic." she soothed gently, patting her head lightly and smiling at everyone else. "Now come along girls, we better get to discussing our power shouldn't we, i'm very curious. I know Jenny here very well, but i'm sure we, and Roger, would love to know about you two." she said, looking between lucy lily and jenny with a soft grin.

In the elevator...
Feeling slightly less frustrated, Veronika managed to keep her angelic demeanor up easily. She smiled at the blond girl, the kind of smile that someone has when they are thinking 'Oh please.' "I would not make you pay for something that I can get with no cost. Watch." She took the sunglasses off her head and placed them in one hand, her delicate fingers tracing the glass and almost mindlessly, an exact copy appeared in her other hand. Veronika studied her creation, and was rather pleased that it looked like it came right from the Chanel store on Fashion Ave. Perfection. I am glad papa asked me to practice. She smiled pleased and handed the double to the blond girl. "There. As I said, it cost me nothing," she said with a more superior air now that she demonstrated her ability.
With a toss of her hair and keeping up the angelic demeanor, Veronika looked at Rogue with her most innocent expression. "I believe they are out in the foyer. I will need help bringing them to my room. Lots of help," she added thinking of the huge pile in the foyer and holding back a smirk. That Headmistress is not as smart as she thinks. The proper thing would have been to ask me if I needed help with my things, in which I could have paged my men and they would have brought up the things to my room that would have fit. Instead she assumes, and proved the theory of what happens when a person assumes. Except in this case, I was not made an 'ass' of at all. Veronika kept an angelic smile and studied her perfectly manicured nails.

Heather looked at Veronika quizzically. Why is she offering to pay for me? she thought before realizing what the red head's motive truly was. She watched Veronika pass the Gucci sunglasses back and forth in her hands, eventually making both hands occupied with the sunglasses. Her eyes widened. "Wow," she said softly. "I'm sorry... I had no idea what you meant." She smiled with glee, unable to believe she actually had her own pair of new Gucci sunglasses!!! Heather already had a pair, however they were a Christmas present from her parents two years prior. They weren't in season anymore and she kept them in her closet back in Brooklyn ever since.
Taking the glasses from Veronika's hand slowly, still incredulous towards the situation, Heather sighed with awe and looked to Veronika's blue eyes. "Thank you so much," she said warmly. "This is too cool." She held the glasses close to her heart and bit her lip with a smile.
The elevator doors opened and Heather stepped outside onto the main floor. Hearing Veronika say she needed help moving her bags into her room, Heather decided it was the least she could do. "I can help you bring your bags in," she commented, knowing it was a petty return favor in comparison to the Gucci glasses.

Rogue nodded, acknowledging her team member's reply. "Alright. We'll get them tuh yer room asap," she said happily. Ah wonder if she understands SHE, along with others are going to HELP HER bring her own stuff in, she thought to herself. Rogue was never a fan of the "spoiled" rich people of the world. However she did meet her share that were very nice people. Hopefully her new Paragon, was not a bad seed.
In the foyer...
Heading into foyer on the way to the girls dorms, they a massive pile of luggage and furniture and boxes. Whoo wee this girl wasn' kiddin'. She definitely has a lotta' stuff, thought Rogue. Not currently having the knowledge of Veronika's room number, she turned to the girls saying, "Alright Miss Veronika, since I do not exactly know your room number, take one luggage of clothing for you to freshen up with and you can use Aqua's room. Is that alright with you girls?" Rogue gave them her signature smile and waited for their answers.

So much for a decent team leader. How does she not know where my room is? The Headmistress was aware of my arrival a week ahead of time, and did not bother to inform my team leader where my room is. Perfect. This place is disgustingly disorganized. Veronika internally struggled to keep her angelic demeanor when she was told this new instructions. "Why of course, I do not see a problem in that," she said in a sugary sweet voice and pointed at a large pink Coach suitcase in front of the pile. "That would be where I keep my day clothes," she said and picked up a Prada duffel. "And this has all my makeup and shower accessories. It will do for now," Veronika said and surveyed the pile of items. Mother was fussed far too much with some of this. I do like a tempurpedic mattress for my bed, but the lounge chair mother insisted is not my color of choice at all. I never liked that shade of blue. It looks too much like the color of beach water for me. I would have left it, had the supposed genius of a Headmistress been considerate enough.
Veronika looked over at her stuff with a critical eye. There was her mattress, which she wanted. Then there was a vanity set, which she also wanted for sure. That and her shower rack. The ocean blue lounge chair, the makeup desk and that large board made of cork were of no interest to her. She turned to Aqua and gave her a more sincere sweet smile. At least there is a student in this school who appreciates fashion. No one else would have admired my sunglass in the same eye as her if they did not know at least a little about fashion. "The sunglasses were nothing Aqua, but if you like, as you see I do have quite a bit of things as the Headmistress did not allow me to pick what I want. Except for the mattress, that purple shower rack and the vanity, would you like the furniture? I plan to toss it otherwise for mother insisted I bring it along just in case. Also she had packed my wardrobe with all the last season clothes. Honestly, she fusses far too much. Would you perhaps like to take it?" Veronika asked with her light Russian accent and with a smile as she surveyed the taller girl. "We are not quite the same height, but not enough so you wouldn't fit in some of that stuff. I would rather have someone who appreciates fashion wear them then those who don't," Veronika said looking at Aqua holding on to the sunglasses she made. Thank God one person in this school has taste.

"Lot of stuff." A voice came softly whispering out of the dark corner. Standing where a moment before there had been no one a dark eyed, dark haired college age guy stepped two steps forward from the shadows and cocked his head at the females.
"Good to throw things away when they ain't no good anymore." He said and started walking toward the stairs. "Lots of guys it took to bring that in, big guys. They left, though so I guess you're on your own for the heavy work." He glanced to make eye contact with the only person in the room who he recognized. "Hey, Rogue." he said to her and strolled up the stairs with his signature, slouchy, hands in his pockets walk.
Reaching the landing halfway up he turned and said "Booms out front by the way. Sounded kinda close, place went a little crazy. G'night." and reached a hand out of his pocket to grasp the railing and head upstairs.

Heather awaited Veronika's answer when it came to helping her out with her luggage. Wow this girl is really nice. I wonder if Lorelai would be cool with her, she wondered innocently. Heading into the foyer however, made the New Mutant's eyes widen in shock. This Veronika girl was loaded. A mattress, tons of bags, a lounge chair, vanity set, shower rack, make up desk, AND a bulletin board. It was as if she were packing for college. Then again, the Xavier Mansion was a school that taught from kindergarten to college level courses. It was amazing what the place was capable of, and to be honest, Heather was still shocked that there was a Danger Room and a hanger inside the school itself.
Seeing everything at once made Heather feel a bit timid and awkward. Veronika's parents obviously did something very successful, the question was what? And not that it was her business, however curiosity was human nature. And naturally, judgment came into play. I hope she isn't spoiled or anything. I mean she seems really cool. Heather begged in her head that Veronika would at least be genuine when it came to being open towards friendship. Too, according to Rouge, they would be sharing a room for several hours, therefore playing guest was going to be necessary.
Heather placed her attention on the Paragons leader and nodded vigorously. "Yeah of course that is OK," she said warmly. "It wouldn't impose at all." After Veronika pointed to the pink Coach suitcase, Heather walked over and gently handled it out of the pile, making sure not to topple anything over or break the incredible amount of furniture Veronika had brought over. Rolling the bag back to the two Paragons, she smiled, ready to help her new acquaintance and hopefully future friend. Friends seemed to be important at the moment, considering so far all Heather had at the Xavier School was Lorelai and Ian. Sean was cool, however they never really spent any time together, and Lurai was pretty much like a friend too.
Shrugging the thought off, Heather's eyes widened again when the fellow Brooklyn native offered her her furniture. HUH?!?! she thought. IS THIS GIRL SERIOUS?!?! HER FURNITURE??!! The gesture was too outrageous and too kind. But then again was it just a charity case? Did Veronika think Heather was poor or something? True that currently she was wearing a GIANTS jersey and nothing really considered "high fashion". However her denim jeans were from GUESS and her bunny slippers were from Victoria Secret. "Umm, are you serious?" she asked incredulously. "I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude or anything but... your... furniture? Don't you want it?" She looked at the make up desk, it was quite nice and she did agree it was better than using the bathroom to put on make up or get her hair done. But then again it never bothered her in the past back in East Flatbush.
Heather further analyzed and shrugged, still in disbelief. "Umm.... Yeah I guess that would be cool. Thank you... but like first the glasses, now this? Why bring all this stuff in the first place anyway?" she asked kindly yet still wondering the truth.
Then a creepy voice appeared out of no where. Turning to see who spoke, Heather saw a big eyed dark haired boy. Not knowing what to do or say, she winced and looked to Rogue, seeing as they knew each other. He then mentioned "booms". "OH CRAP!" she said loudly. "The explosions we saw!!"

"Alright, wonderful ladies," she said with her smile. Not truly having an opinion with Veronika's "generosity", Rogue turned her head when she saw Shade appear from the shadows.
"Ah hello Shade," she replied with a sense of relief. She was happy to see some of the older students of the Xavier Institute, even if they were a member of Emma's reckless Hellions. Her smile faded however when he informed her of hearing explosions outside. "Thank ya' Shade, good night to ya' as well." Turning to Aqua, Rogue looked at her quizzically. "Ya' saw explosions? Alright hon calm down. Ah'm sure everythin' is fine." If it were another attack from Magneto, they would have made it known by now, she thought. It was probably a collision or accident of some kind.
"Alright, Ah'll head out, Aqua can you escort Veronika to your room please and don't worry girls. All is well." She placed her hands on Heather's shoulders hoping she would follow her orders immediately.

Veronika jumped a bit at the sound of this weird freaky looking guy step out of the shadows. What a freak. They really do let just anyone in this school. I was right about the disgustingly low standards. I should have guessed with the buffoon outside and the girl with Smurf vomit on her head. Veronika composed herself and the angelic appearance came back."An explosion? Oh, I do hope no one was hurt," she said in very convincing concerned voice.
Nonetheless, Veronika turned to Aqua and smiled. "If I wanted my furniture I assure you I would not offer. I am happy to give them away," she adjusted her grip on the bag. "I simply have no need for them and would throw them out if you did not want them." She pointed at the three large Kate Spade suitcases standing side by side. "Those are last seasons clothes, I have no use for them. Papa bought me a whole new wardrobe just two days ago. Later we can get some help to bring them up," Veronika said looking up at the stairs where she assumed the rooms would be. I hope they do not keep us in the basement. Though I should not expect much less. "Shall we go to your room then?" Veronika asked eager to freshen up and relax for awhile.

Calming down and seeing that the Paragons leader was pretty cool about Heather forgeting, she breathed in and out evenly. Feeling Rogue's hands on her shoulders made her feel better, however she hoped that she wasn't upset with her and just didn't want to show it. "OK. Let's go then," she said to Veronika while still looking at the teacher. Heather smiled and nodded and rolled Veronika's pink suitcase along with her. Taking them up the foyer stairs and towards the East Hallway.
"Come on," she said looking back to Veronika accompanied with a warm smile. "This way. And thanks for the furniture. I think I'll consider it." Walking with the red head, Heather truly felt better than the last couple of days. However a hidden feeling was deep within her that she felt earlier. It was that hard feeling in the pit of her stomach when she smelled Ian's jacket by accident. And she was currently thinking of him, since the talk of explosions triggered the LIMBO warp that happened in the genetics lab.
Biting her lip, Heather erased the thought of him while reaching the floor above the foyer. We'll get them out somehow, she assured herself. They can't die, they just can't... and damn this girl's bag is heavy. She slowed her pace so Veronika didn't feel as if she was trying to avoid her. Once they reached the room, they could both freshen up and just talk like girls normally did. For now, Heather's mind was too preoccupied and felt bad she was thinking of Ian more than she should have been.

"Thank you Aqua," she replied as the two girls walked to their destination with a nod. Now, to see what that explosion was all ab-. SMACK!!! The sound echoed from outside and into the mansion. What the?!?! Rogue ran outside, hoping Magneto's doings were not the causes of the current explosion she just heard.
