Karma came in behind Jenny, Shimmer and Lily with Dazzler Heartstring and Lucy beside her. The room really was filling up with students and teachers, the students she noticed, were now with the addition of the Corsairs and Hellions. 'Oh dear, this really must be important for them to have to be back so soon. Oh dear, i do hope they wont include my girls in whatever this is, more so if it a mission. Hank knows the girls are way too young.' she thought with a slight tone of worry in her mind. Those explosions outside had frightened the girls enough already and they were only just getting over the shock of it now as it seemed. Thankfully, lily and Jenny seemed to have calmed down, but she wasn't so sure about lucy. "Allison, what is this about. Why are Emma and Scotts groups back so soon, what has happened?" she said as she turned to Dazzler, trying to keep her voice quiet enough so her girls didn't hear her talking.

Allison smiled at Karma as she licked the corner of her lips so there wouldn't be any extra chocolate from the cupcake. "Henry will explain it all darling, and I think Emma's group usually comes back early for the most part. I have no idea why some of the Corsairs are here. Damn, I feel old after coming back here. It's been what two and a half years and look how much everyone's grown! I remember some of these guys when they were still kids," she said with a shake of her head. "Karma just take these darling little girls of yours and sit somewhere comfortable. And you, hey!" Allison exclaimed when she that adorable pink haired girl had left them. She turned her head and saw her by the wall, looking very frightened.
Allison walked over to her with a kind smile. "Darlin' what are you doing here all by your lonesome huh? C'mon, I'm gonna look good if I'm seen sitting next to a girl with such awesome pink hair," she said with a dazzling grin and wink as she put her arm the girl and led her over by Beast. "Besides, I need someone to share these cupcakes with. You gonna let me look like a little piggy?" she said with a laugh and a wink.
Allison smiled at Beast as she sat down with the adorable pink haired girl by him and frowned as she looked around the cafeteria. Why the heck is everyone so spread out? I thought the cootie phase is over by the time you turn ten, she thought with a roll of her eyes. "Hey guys look, this is a HUGE cafeteria and ya'll are spread out all over the place. What's the matter all afraid of cooties or something? There isn't enough of us to be so spread out like this. C'mon guys lets round it up so I don't gotta scream just to say hi to some of you. Hey Gina, nice tunes!" she said with a laugh as she beckoned everyone to come closer before sitting next to that adorable pink haired girl.
"So you got a name darling?" she asked with a wink as she offered her a cupcake, watching as the others moved to come closer to the big table. Honestly what's the point of sitting across the room like that? she thought as she smiled at Veronika and Heather.

Shimmer looked up to see 'The Dazzler' Come over to her. Looking down a little more, Torri felt her cheeks burn with a blush again, making her whole self pink to the eye. She was shy normally to almost everyone, but someone who was a film start come music singer? This was just insane. "I uh. I just, don't feel like s-" she was going t protest, but with The Dazzler moving her toward the top of the table where Dr. Beast was, she really didn't want to object anymore, so just sat quietly and looked around the room. Most of the older students were sitting down and looking less than worried, and even some of the students she knew were there. But where was everyone else? She knew that the school community was alot bigger than this, even without the new older people here.
"You wouldn't look like a pig, thats impossible." she mumbled quietly to herself as she debated about taking one of the cup cakes. she knew she was hungry, but was she really going to just take one? A growl from her lower stomach confirmed her idea that she really wanted a cup cake. Reaching her hand forward she picked one out and shifted in her seat so she might look smaller. Hating the fact that she was abnormally tall for a thirteen year old. Bit by bit, she picked off small pieces of the cake and ate them, trying to make it last so she only ate the one, as there were quite a few people in the room that would more than likely want one themself. It was strangely sweet for a cake, but that only made it better in Torris oppinion, and her stomach most certainly agreed.
At the question of her name, Torri looked down again at her lap, feeling very shy again. She rubbed her arm a little and cleared her throat before mumbling quietly at her knees. "Shimmer." that was all she could say from the complete bowt of shyness that crept into her body from being so close to one of the biggest and most famous stars in the world. Even though she hadn't seen many of the films she heard her songs on the radio many times. And she was one of the very few people that Torri looked to as an idol for the young girl, and as idols went, for a shapeshifter, The Dazzler was someone who Torri had always wanted to look like, but never been able to get any where near close to. She was however, quite pleased - if embarassed - that the woman seemed to like her hair. Maybe it wasn't too bad after all.

Veronika tossed her hair back and looked around as the others got here. Oh look it's that hobo from outside. And shes with friends, how lovely. I think I saw that boy with her on America's Most Wanted last week. Perfect, I am in a school with convicts and homeless people. That one older guy is very attractive, but I guess he is with the dark skinned girl. Onyx I still think is more attractive. She looked back at Onyx and gave him a flirtatious grin. "No Darling, I cannot seem desperate. You have to make them want you and come to you," Veronika whispered.
She looked over at Dazzler angelically as she gathered everyone to come closer together. At least she is here. Good thing she is beautiful and famous like I will be, otherwise it would be hard to get the others to respect and listen to her like that. Veronika kept up her angelic facade as she watched all the others come in. Inconspicuously she studied the tall girl with the pink hair. Are those cat ears? Does this place celebrate Halloween early? Nonetheless she smiled at the girl angelically as she waited for the meeting to start like a perfect angel.

Heather turned around as she heard more people head into the cafeteria. The older boys and girls that came in were pretty tough looking. Especially the white haired guy that kicked his feet up on the table. Another guy came in with a pretty dark skinned girl, and the guy was pretty cute. He reminded her of Ian slightly and she immediately looked over to Jumper and Torri when they came in. She smiled, happy to see her friends were OK and returned her attention back to Veronika. "Oh I see," she replied with a small smile. "Have him come to you... got it." Heather giggle with a wink and followed Veronika's glance to Dazzler.
She was looking at them for some reason and had her cheerful shiny smile on. Heather smiled back and sighed, still incredulous at the fact that one of her biggest idols was only a few feet away from her. But that wasn't the most important thing at the moment; Ian was in LIMBO as well as Lorelai, Sean, Aideen, even the headmasters!! The reality was too much for a teenager to handle. However being in this school and being a mutant, has made her realize complaining wasn't the answer. She needed to deal and help as much as possible.
Heather looked to Dr.McCoy and waited for the rest of the school to head in.

Having been distracted by the sheer cuteness of the little girls in from the kitchen, HeartString had separated from her team mates as they'd walked into the main hallway of the mansion. Now as she entered the cafeteria she saw them sitting off on the side in their usual spots Kelly closest to the kitchen so he could sneak in for seconds and thirds and more.
At the moment she decided to walk over and join them Dazzler said to come closer and so not wanting to make a scene and hoping to be a good role model Tracy looked back and smiled at Allison. She walked over to sit nearer to Beast and felt the oddest of emotions swirling out from one of the younger students. The new girl with the red hair and fine tailored clothes. Tracy decided to sit closer as she was curious to get a better read on what she was sensing.
Glancing to her team mates she moved her head with a bit of a whipping motion to signal them to come and join her. Then she looked into Kelly's eyes and with a pleading look she batted her eyes at him. She knew he wouldn't be able to resist that.

She had been mad as hell outside and really wanted to give Decibel a piece of her mind, but now after the hurried long walk into the mansion Machete was livid. She was going to make such a scene when they got inside that Hell or bombs or drunk driving boyfriends would sit aside in awe. Shocked, they would be at what came out of her mouth.
Her stomping feet announced her arrival and she looked around the room with a scowl. 'There she is, that nasty backstabbing bitch!' Rose thought as she saw Gina being her weird 'crusty punk' self and doing that annoying thing where she strums her guitar and looks all "too cool". 'Yeah, that's great when she does it to other people, but I taught her that "I'm ignoring you-ha ha" trick when I used to sit and file my nails. She thinks she all that.' Machete thought as she walked over to her team's table and passing behind Decibel she grabbed a lock of the rockstar's hair and pulled it, hard.

Chester had finished clearing the roadway with Colossus before the two of them had gone back to the school. Bringing up the rear of the group alongside his idol Piotr Rasputin, Stoney had watched Decibel as she walked into the school. He hated it when she'd leave, but he always loved to watch her go. He knew she was years younger than him, but, well he didn't care.
All the way back to the mansion he wanted to say something to Colossus, but he just couldn't. Not that he didn't have anything to talk about, but he saw Piotr was all twisted and filled up in his head and Stoney knew how it sucked to be jammed up like that. He didn't want to bug the guy.
He'd forgotten to transform back into his flesh and blood self with all the distractions around him. It wasn't until he walked into the cafeteria that he saw his own reflection in the back wall, it being fully glass much like a greenhouse, and affected the change back with a clap of his hands. Rubbing his hands together as the rocks seemed to suck back into him and sluff off of his massive form, only to evaporate as they hit the floor, he strode over to the Hellion table and sat down right across from Gina. He saw Decibel's face twist up as Machete walked behind her, but he didn't realize she just had her hair pulled.

Ana walked swiftly toward the cafeteria, the teacher, Kris and Ivy behind her as she made her way through the doors into the hall of awaiting people. It was quite a scary feeling, some people waiting in silence and others being sociable, well, to Ana anyway. She particularity noticed a beautiful woman who must have been a teacher, but who she recognized as a movie star/singer talking to a student with gorgeous bubblegum pink hair. It was nice to see everyone else here, but she had the idea it was no picnic for the fun of it, there was a solemn reason they were gathered together and hopefully Dr McCoy at the top of the table would brief them, for the atmosphere was making her nervous.
Quickly, she flitted across the hall and sat at the end of the table, smiling a reassuring smile towards the people near her. "Hi, I'm Anastasia," she introduced herself quietly, her voice barely a whisper, she had the idea that if they were all going to be working together it would be easier if they got acquainted first. Also, if something good was to come out of this, other than the thing they were together trying to right, strong bonds would become important in life, in the community she now belonged to.

Kris walking through the doors behind the tall Anastasia with a smile still touching his lips. He was doing his best to keep himself calm, but by god, a room full of guys - even if there were females present - might make him a little uncomfortable. Never the less, he strode in with as much confidenc as he felt he needed to show, not cocky, but not shy. With a practised smile he followed the pretty tall girl toward the table she had seated herself at and instinctivly sat down beside her, at least this way he knew the name of a couple of people around him.
Because there were so many people in the room he would find it hard not to look like a kid in a sweet shop. The guys in particular, some of them were not what you would say 'sore on the eyes'. Yet he kept his face calm and collected, fighting an inner battle to stare at each guy individually. 'Damn it Kris. No. You know fine well guys dont take well to other whos who like guys!' he mentally scorned before looking back to the girl and giving her a calm smile. "Well Ana, might i ask where about you come from? Your not english, i can say that for sure." he said with a small chuckle.

Rogue brought in the three students and pointed over to the already occupied tables. Many of the students had arrived already which meant that Henry would start the meeting soon. It was important for everyone to understand what was going on; especially why Emma and Scott weren't there to greet them. "Ya'll can take a seat ova there. You need anythang you let me know," she said with a smile.
After the three of them departed into the crowd of other mutant students, Rogue walked over to Henry and sighed. "You OK Henry," she sighed as she quickly glanced to Dazzler and then back to her furry friend. "Don't worry, we'll get 'em back. All nine of 'em". Her upbeat tone would have convinced any of the students, however Henry and others who knew Rogue well, would have noticed the slight crack at the end of her sentence.

It was getting cold outside. The moon was high in the night sky now. The random activity here and there -midsts the sometimes stodgy and 'oh, too proper' trappings and adornments- of the mansion that was their school, and in the grounds -those manicured to the point of near nausea with their 'look at how rustic I look' serene scenic vistas and clear crisp air- which surrounded their Manor of an Alma mater had died down, oh yes those events died down.
They died down and hurriedly shuffled themselves into the cafeteria, and oh how Stephen loathed the idea of going in and joining them, he had little choice as he had forgotten that he'd taken off his shoes and socks in the observation tower before he'd floated down and now his bare feet were freezing in the snow.
Reaching the ice cold door handle he unlatched it softly, trying not to make the slightest of sounds and opened it just every so slowly, and only just enough to enable himself to slip into the cafeteria. He looked around at them all, puppets, baubles of a glorious White Queen. Himself as well one, yet loved none the less. Shade fancied himself special of course, don't we each, and knew that fact too, to his utter shame.
He took the few steps to make it over to his seat at the team table and pulled his feet up and tried to warm and dry them with his sleeves. It would be alright, his team was nearby. He'd learned to appreciate them for the distinct individuals they were, and come to understand his place in this world by knowing where he fit in with his team. His family. 'Where is our mother hen?' he thought.

At that moment ...A distinctive sound of the blades of a helicopter slicing through the sky above and shooting down from the source of the sound was a beam of light. It scattered around a little before centering itself on the basketball courts just out the back of the school. As the light hit the ground and the craft got closer to the surface of the court some of the light shone reflectively back up. It was most certainly a helicopter of some kind. Illuminated, and the wash of air from the propellers kicked up snow crystals and spun them wildly about. It was a craft of his own design, and built by his own two hands. That was his gift, his mutation was one of the mind. A fusion, a synergy of creativity, innate mechanical imagination, and deft machinations. The working of the vehicle nearly a dance as he set the ship to alight sweetly on the lid of the hangar. Small, light and fast, it held two. ------------------------------------------------------- "You see? Just as I said it would be, a short flight. Mato, this is the school I told you about. The tribal elders and myself have taught you all you can learn from us for now. It is time to change the origins of your teachings and thus broaden your view." Forge smiled back over his shoulder at his exceptional student sitting in the rear of the helicopter. Grunting a little as he climbed out of the pilots seat he said "Expand your world view a little, and have some fun." "Yes, I said it 'some fun'! You gotta have a little fun from time to time." he winked at the young man. "So you think you know about your powers, well here you will really learn to use them. Oh yeah, and learn about yourself, believe me you will." his feet touched down and he walked along the side sliding open the door for the passenger compartment. "Lets go, grab your worldly possessions and get outta my chopper. I'll introduce you."

The sound of the helicopter reverberated through Mato’s entire body through the lengthy journey from his home in Montana. Despite what Forge said, Mato knew it was much longer. He looked out the window at what was perhaps the largest building he had ever seen in his life. This is to be my new home? I should have listened to the elders more closely when they were describing the school. He looked over at Forge, a man he had known a good deal of his life and always regarded him with a large amount of respect.
When the helicopter landed, Mato took off his helmet and vest, placing them carefully on the floor and grabbed his large cloth duffle filled with all his possessions. He stepped out of the chopper and looked at the school, marveling at the size of it. “Perhaps I should have taken you more seriously when you said there was plenty of room for me here,” Mato said to Forge as he slung the bag over his shoulder. The blue deerskin jacket his mother made him before his trip was keeping him clement despite the harsh winter wind that greeted him. He moved the bead strands in his hair that whipped against his face he looked over at Forge. “How will we find anyone in this place? It is large enough to fit half of the Cheyenne Nation,” Mato commented in carefully spoken English.

Clutch smiled warmly as Kris spoke to her, catching her out on her thick accent. "Indeed, you are right, I am from Finland," she said smiling, noticing Kris' expressions. "Are you ok? You look a little like a child with sugar," she smiled kindly, laughing slightly, at his expression and her hopefully right expression. "There are many pretty people here yes?" she half asked, half stated as she quickly cast her eyes over their surroundings. Ana would have said girls, but she'd got the feeling Kris was quite comfortable around girls, more than most boys anyway,e specially around the redhead who was incredibly pretty.
"So, you do not sound American either, I am guessing you are British yes?" she asked just as a loud noise became heard, the sound of propellers, a helicopter or something of the sort. But she would stay here, just as she'd been instructed to, she had a feeling Dr. McCoy wouldn't be too happy if she wandered off just before a rather important briefing.
"What is happened?" she asked, to anyone who might know really, she didn't really like being kept in the dark.
