The silence was deafening after Beast spoke. For long minutes the room sat silent and still, until Gina broke the silence. "Uh, so let's go then!" she said and stood up with a purpose. "Ladies let's grab our coats." she looked across the room to HeartString, the girl she had always had a problem with. 'I hope she can handle this, she always lets everyone down. She's the weakest link on the Corsairs, but if Beast wants her I'll just have to deal I guess.' she thought as she went to stand by the door waiting impatiently for the others.

Feeling Gina's eyes burning into her, Tracy looked up. The look on the Hellion rocker's face was one that showed her true feelings. Tracy didn't need her power to understand what Decibel felt for her. It all stemmed from one mistake she had made. It was so long ago now.
'Why can't Gina let it go?' HeartString thought, 'I was just a kid, we all were. So what if the Hellions were already training together for a year or more before they had come to the Mutant Academy, it wasn't fair to expect so much from me. What a shame she is so twisted up inside, this trip might open her eyes about me, I've come a long way!' She rose from her seat and smoothed her hands across her outfit. "I'm with you." she said to the crusty punk. Tracy walked across the room and stood next to Gina.

Kyle's face was a mix of emotions as Forge and Beast spoke. He just could not seem to grasp the severity of the situation. Students and Teachers were sucked into some kind of limbo. Another fact Kyle could not understand. And now they were going to send more into this place to get them out. He knew someone would have to go get them out, but there were real expierenced Teachers and Teams that could do that. Why would Beast send more students? Kyle just couldn't understand. And two of the ones Beast chose Kyle had never even seen before. Why risk them and Aqua, not Aqua, she was his friend. He considered her a friend, and now she was being thrown into this. He just shook his head looking very confused.
Turning to look at all those here in the room, there were students that seemed to have much more training and control. More capable of handling this. And why didn't he get chosen. Kyle wondered to himself, though he wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. He really didn't like the sound of being sent to wherever this limbo was. But Kyle's pride and always wanting to be part of the group always got to him as well.
He looked to Chase and then Katana still with a confused expression. "What are they thinking sending more students in?" But he could only guess that Beast had chosen them for a reason.
Slowly Kyle stood and reached for his left hand and the dial there. He felt like he was benched during the big game at school. But at the same time relieved he didn't have to play the killer team on the other side of the field. He wouldn't pout this time or show his feelings like he did in the lab in front of the teachers. He was better then that. Cyclops had reassured him of that.
"Hey guys." He said to Chase and Katana as he reached up and ran his hand through his hair. I need to get a drink and something to eat. Are you hungry?" He looked between his team mates and friends. Chase, who was new here and didn't seem to judge Kyle from the start, and stuck by him during the events outside, and Katana, his team mate who he had insulted and hurt, and now was standing by him making sure he knew he wasn't alone. He was looking at Katana in a different way now then earlier today.

Dazzler grinned at Forge when he managed to make the whole cafeteria shut up and listen with only a few words. Then again, it’s not like that’s unlike him, He likes to put people in their place, she thought before Beast’s speech. She listened quietly and when Beast instructed her to get up by the door with the others, she did without question. Allison patted the two darling little ones on the head and went to stand by the door. She smiled encouragingly at Onyx, knowing he was itching to get going. “Alright darlin’s time to go finally,” she said to him and Aqua and Nok~Off as she beckoned for them to come over.
When Beast left the room, Dazzler waited for Decibel and HeartString to pass her before she waved over the trio. “Let’s bounce outta here,” she said with a grin and waited for them three to go before she followed them.

- As the chosen few children filed out of the cafeteria along with their teachers Forge left out the same door he'd just come in through to move his helicopter, touching down again between the hedge maze and the girl's dorm and rushing downstairs.
The remaining teachers and children were left with a sense of relief mixed with a hope for their safe return, as Colossus took charge of the meeting...

Leaning over to Kyle, Chase whispered "I don't think we're done here. Are we?" He looked around and saw that everyone else was still sitting there. 'Does Kyle know something I don't know?' Chase wondered.
"I could use a drink though" he got real close to Kyle's ear and whispered "When we get back to our room I have a surprise. I snuck in a bottle of Jack, you down with that?" he asked him raising both his eyebrows and furrowing his forehead as he grinned at his friend.

Seeing that Dr.McCoy and the other teachers were ready to speak, Heather stood by and nudged Veronika in case she wasn't listening. She still had her arm wrapped around that of her new friend's and enjoyed being in such a relationship. The fact that they were immediately able to become friends, made Heather gain high hopes for their future; hopefully a stronger and very good friendship.
She then paid her attention to Dr.McCoy. He informed everyone of the Limbo situation and then Colossus explained the crash she, Ian, Aideen and Onyx saw from the woods. It scared her slightly knowing that one of the students in the same room as her was able to commit such a dangerous act. Actually, looking at him and the rest of the older kids, it didn't seem as much as a surprise any longer. They looked mean; those that were near the Inflict kid. He then began to complain about his car and that made Heather roll her eyes. God that guy is spoiled, she thought. Thankfully another person in the room believed the same way. With him making his funny comment, Heather smiled and turned to see ANOTHER attractive boy with jet black hair, walk into the cafeteria. When he asked about how the people sent to LIMBO got there, she wanted to tell him herself. She was there of course, however it seemed rude and out of place to do so since she wasn't asked. To be honest she was just plain afraid to say anything at the moment.
The man named Forge, barked his opinion to the students, making Heather jolt her head back and listen further to what he, and then Dr.McCoy needed to say. She was going on a mission with Veronika, Onyx and some of the older kids. Oh man. We need to go with Onyx? Well at least Veronika can be happy and try some moves on him. He just needs to keep away from me. She was happy however that Ironclad was joining them. He seemed funny and on her level. But she knew that wasn't important at all for the moment.
Following his instructions, Heather stood up and followed Dazzler towards the hanger, pulling Veronika along with her. They were going on a mission and they needed to wear something cold. To Heather, she knew that she needed to wear the uniform the headmasters gave her and the others for Christmas. Heather followed the Dazzler and waited for her to dismiss them in order to "dress warmly".

Katana nodded to acknowledge Chase's comment to her, but her thoughts were on Jumper. However, when Forge called the room to attention, Katana stopped focusing her attention on Jumper and looked up at Beast as instructed. What she heard him say next made her almost sick to her stomach despite the fact that she would never own up to that, as she was still not ready to let go of her tough girl image. Twelve students were gone in the flash of an eye to some place called Limbo, something which from its very name sounded like something out of a ghost story, the incarnation of every bad theological threat leveled by an overzealous preacher only renamed something less frightening then hell to make it more palatable. And now twelve kids were there along with several of the teachers, including the two that had been lost in the Brotherhood attack. And here she was, while these people were lost in that place, sitting here at a table making googley eyes over a boy as if nothing was wrong in the world only a short time after she had planned to run away because she was not ready to be responsible. She felt ashamed.
She also wished Beast would say who was missing. Apparently there was not time for that as he just mentioned who was going to be on the rescue team but she could guess somewhat given who was missing from the room. She had not seen her roommate at all. Where was Elixir? Hell, she had not seen Elixir in a couple days now. The girl had not come home at night. Katana seriously hoped this meant Elixir had just dropped the school or run away or anything but had been dragged into this Limbo place. She also wished she had been named to the rescue team. But that was not something to expect given her own poor behavior at practice, something she was only now beginning to admit to herself.
She was in the middle of her own two theme self-pity and guilt party when Jumper pulled her out of it with his question if she and the other kid wanted to go grab something.
"Sure...I'm about ready to get out of here. I just wish there was something we could do about it...that sounds like an awful small group of students to send in...after all think about who is missing. You don't see Ember here today or Diesel, and they have to be about the strongest of the students. If they can't handle it with the headmistress and nine other people how are just a handful of other students going to fix the situation. I also haven't seen my roommate, Elixir. I actually haven't seen her for days...she hasn't come back to the room at night. So she's been missing since before this happened. Have you seen her at all?" Katana asked.

Anastacia's thoughts had been elsewhere. A trance and memories about random things had come into her head, sometimes she'd had to try so hard to stop herself laughing, biting her lip so hard it was sure to leave a permanent indent. It was all the stuff inside her head, and that freaked people out. All those little moments, like when her friends at home threw her a party and sleepovers where anything and everything was hilarious.
A long time had passed, a lot had happened as she gazed with blank eyes filled with memories and tales across the table, hopelessly lost in daydreams, that she didn't notice the new member come in, or even Dr McCoy talking.
Then, everything was casual again, people were talking after the silence imposed by the end of Beast's speech, and it was this, not the noise, that pierced through her dreams.
"Err... Kris. . . what is just happened? I kinda fell asleep with my eyes open and I have a feeling it was important, anyone know?!" she cast her eyes around the table, a slight smile on her face as she laughed at herself on the inside, at her stupidity and scatter-brainedness. Wow... she thought, as she saw the boy-man- who had just arrived, who must have been in the helicopter. He was, pretty hot, it had to be said, and his russet skin stood out to her. He seemed at ease, but on edge, if that made any sense to her, radiating calmness, so it seemed to Clutch, but also ready to join in the mission, and he was standing up, so were others and she assumed this was the party leaving.
"Oh, it is ok. . . I think, the students standing up are going to try and sort everything out, that is correct?" she said quietly, still slightly embarrassed for anyone to know that she hadn't been paying attention. Well, she could blame it on sleep deprivation, she supposed.

Throughout the speach from Beast about what had gone on and what was going to be done, Karma tried to keep an open and clear mind, taking in what had been said and processing it slowly to herself, making sure she understood. Refusing to let anything but a look of calm show on her face she closed her eyes to listen and took deep breaths, knowing that if she were to show worry, or indeed fear, her girls would spot it themself and become a little distressed. She was there to keep them happy right now, and so she would. Slowly opening her eyes again as she heard the names being called out for who was to go, she nodded to herself, mentally mulling over why some of the younger students were also being called to go.
'Surley sending more of the younger ones into LIMBO isn't a good plan, the older ones i understand but why leave the rest and take those three? I know Hank knows what he is doing, but still i wonder.' Keeping her face calm, she turned her body to face her girls again and smiled softly. "Well then there we go, that is Mr McCoy going with those others to get everyone back out. Okay? That means Nightcrawler too, so you have nothing to worry about, everyone will come back if they have anything to do about it!" She said gently, keeping her smile on her face as she watched the group finally leave the room. 'I still wonder why those other Corsairs and even Hellions are not going with them, they would be a good asset to the team, but still, i am sure Beast knows what is best.'

Kris kept his mouth shut throughout the rest of the meeting, feeling dazed and dreamy as yet another male student walked in. Seriously, it was going to be hard for him to cope and keep himself to himself here if there were lots of good looking guys about. In his old school there was only ever one boy who caught his attention, but here there were quite a few lookers that he could take a peek at. 'Calm it mate, if they catch you staring, you're dead. Keep your eyes steady, dont wander and for god sake keep your hands STILL!' He said to himself, as he let out a slow breath and smiling again.
He turned to Ana and chuckled gently, "Uh...Basically? New kids come, big meeting, Limbo is hell, other teachers and students there, the furry man is off with the others to get them back and they all left us behind so i don't know whats going on now." he laughed again, his body shaking gently. "So yea, you hit the nail on the head." he said finally, nodding his head and trying to rid himself of any indecent thoughts for now.

"Good riddance to 'em all." Inflict said looking as the bunch of them filed out. He had just about had it with one rockstar missy 'calling herself Gina 'Sinister', that wasn't even her real name' he thought. She was getting on his last nerve with this new attitude she was displaying. 'Oh, and friggin Mason 'Rectum' could go and get his ass lost in hell too, he was lucky somebody stepped in because it didn't matter that he wasn't able to be hurt NOW', Norrison knew that he had to have been hurt at least once in his life and that's all it would take. 'Gotta just be able to grab hold of him a little bit longer next time, damn I almost had it last time, almost' he thought remembering how Ironclad always seemed to be able to get loose from his grasp and how last time he'd broken Inflict's nose with a quick elbow to his face.
"NOW we go after the jerks that trashed my van!" he said with authority. "Shade! Where you at?" he said loudly calling him out of hiding. "Alright Hellions let's get into this and figure out a plan, we don't need some old heads slowing us down." he spoke to his team. The members of his team that remained were the ones who he trusted the most anyway, even though Decibel was a lot of firepower she was not somebody who would probably want to go along with his concerns over revenge for his vehicle he figured.

Shimmer felt at a loss as she watched the other students leave, taking The Dazzler with them. She liked her company, and now she was left looking strange on her own with her arms and legs tucked into her. Perfect. 'Thats not fair, they took The Dazzler, they took Heartstring AND Decibel! Then they take the two new guys too. Thats great, now im alone again.' she mentally huffed to herself, remaining still in her position after hearing that Colossus would be one of those in charge now. At least something was good in her eyes. Torri was glad that she had spoken to her team leader earlier and made ammends, even if they were purley for her own sake, they made her feel alot safer with him in the room.
But Inflict and the other frightening looking students were still there too. So the safety wasn't that much felt any longer, nor did it help that the strange blonde guy was sitting near her. The comments he made to the women around him made her anxious, not out of the idea of being spoken to, but out of ... eurgh! 'Well just be thankful that he's not going to talk to you. If all else fails you can go invisible and just leave, but being silent will help. You are good at being quiet when you put your mind to it.' Her thoughts comforted her only slightly, but brought a small smile to her face while she tightened her grip around herself.

Jenny smiled up at Karma and waved goodbye to Dazzler when she walked off after Dr. Beast finished his speech. "The big kids are weird and they're all cranky. I think they need a nap. Or a time out. Everyone is always fighting, but how come? My brother is a booger and we always fight, but then he gives me his one of the his cookies when mommy brings us cocoa and cookies before bed and everything is better. I don't think anyone gave them any cookies or cocoa for awhile," she said to her new friend Lily. "Let's go ask them if they want some cocoa and cookies with us before bed. It's late you know," Jenny said grabbed Roger to climb down from the bench. Those grumpy big kids need somes cheering up. I can't be ascared because one girl didn't like me, she thought as Jenny hugged Roger to her and walked right up to the big kid sitting with the pretty girl and near the really big guy.
She looked at them both with wide blue eyes. "I'm sorry your car gots ruined. One time the mean boy next door ran the little car Santa got for Roger. I was really mad too," Jenny said nodding with wide eyes. "It was okay though, Santa's elf left Roger another one a couple of days later. I woke up and there it was!" she said with an expressive and astonished face. "Santa just knows these things, you know? Maybe he'll get you a new car," Jenny suggested innocently and held up Roger. "This is Roger and I'm Jenny. You have really long hair. Are you going to grow it as long as Rapunzel's?" she asked the pretty girl next to the grumpy big kid that lost his car.
Turning her wide blue eyes to the really really big kid, she turned her head to look at him even though he was sitting. The big kids fascinated her. "You're really really big, just like the other boy here. My mouse friends would be ascared of you, but if you give them some cheese, they like anyone!" Jenny said with a giggle. Maybe all they really need is some cocoa and cookies to not make them grumpy.

Lily smiled proudly when Forge and then the Dazzler patted her head and watched as she, a bunch of the older kids at their table, Mr. McCoy, and Forge, leave for a mission to save everyone. After they left she turned her attention to Jenny as she spoke and nodded with a grin. "All brothers are boogers, some more boogery than overs. Yeah! We should cheer them up! Especially the white haireded one!" she answered excitedly, figuring she might use her powers to make the grumpy one happy. She hovered off her seat as Jenny jumped down and giggled.
As they got there she giggled again as Jenny spoke to each, and then it was her turn. "Don't be sad, it's okeydokey!" she said as she flew up higher with a giggle, letting herself clap her hands as she let loose some happy dust over Inflict. When she felt enough got on him enough to cheer him up she giggled again as she landed softly on top of his head. "You have white hair! That's SO cool! Looky, mines PINK!" she exclaimed, bending over a little so that her face was upside down to his, and so he could see her bubblegum pink hair. She gave him a big grin and then looked to the girl next to him.
"You're really pretty! I hope I get as pretty as you when I get older," she said, smiling big at her, and then looked at the really big man next to her. Her big eyes got bigger as she looked at him in wonderment. "You're big! HI!" she said, waving to him while still standing lightly on Inflict's head. She thought he looked quite huggable. "Jenny, aren't these guys so cool?" she asked, looking down to where her friend was, her cheery smile never leaving her face.
