The two mutant teachers had walked from the girls dormitories in a frantic pace as the sounds of Cerebra sounded through the school. Karma taking lead as she searched the seemingly empty hallways of the school; the occasional whisper or scuffle of feet moving didn't even cross Xi'ans mind as she looked anxiously for their final team mate. They where depleated in numbers in the way of staff but the X-men had dealt with situations many millions of times more unsuited to them so a complaint would not be even thought of right now. "This is your first night here Rogue, you had a long trip and i doubt very much you slept then either; you where never one to miss a beat. But you need to sleep if we are to be ready for what is coming, who knows what is going on with the others." She sid kindly, knowing too well that Rogue was the adventurous type and would stop at nothing to get something done.
"Peter? Peter where are you?" Karma called out in a voice not initially intended on disturbing the sleeping male students as it was far beyond lights out; but enough that their metal friend would hear her alert and hopefully come out to meet them. Karma wasn't sure where exactly Colossus would be but her main guess would be overseeing the male dormitory as he was the only adult male responsible enough to make sure they both behaved and that no harm came of them from each other. |

As the southern belle hastened her pace, she couldn't help but feel her lack of energy catch up to her. Karma was right, and she hated that. Rogue was extremely tired since her arrival from the South Pole. She didn't expect to not be, for when Emma needed something, it was serious. Now being in charge of the rest of the students within the mansion, Rogue had to step her game up and be the protective mother-figure she was known for. Unfortunately she was also known to be a bit of a hard-ass and stubborn as well.
"Yeah yeah yeah OK OK," she replied quickly to get that part of the conversation over with. "After we find Pete, we can just tell him we'll meet up in the mornin' and get this new kid found ASAP." She looked at the doors in the boy dorms as they walked by. Finding Colossus was their main priority, for Cerebra's alert was definitely heard by him as well. "Where is the darn guy? I mean you can't really not see him," she joked.

Colossus heard the Cerabra alert earlier. He had wondered why it chose to go off in the middle of the night, but he silenced it quickly to not wake the others. He had been doing some room checks before he would go and find Karma or Rogue. He had just doing some room checks to make sure everyone was in their room. Rogue and Karma got to him just as he was about to check Freeze-Frame and Jumper's room.
"Rogue if you were to look a little harder you would see me at the end of the hall. It seems I can be hidden in plain sight," Colossus said with a smile as he walked over to the two from the end of the dim lit hallway. "I take it the two of you heard the Cerebra alert?" he asked. He was still very worried about the Limbo situation, and perhaps this was the distraction he needed.

Karma sighed a little at Rogue, knowing fine well that she was one not intent on getting sleep when she would be missing out on some sort of excitement. It went against the grain with her, understandably. But sometimes it was like talking to one of the younger stubborn students when telling her what was best. Honestly, she may as well have been talking to mid air for all the good it would do. "And i had higher hopes of you Rogue. We can't put things off until the morning. If Cerebra found a new mutant, or something else we need to know about it right away. You can go off to bed if you wish but there is always a threat of what may happen to those outwith our protection." Her voice became a little harder as they walked down the dimly lit corridor.
Thankfully, as they reached the end of the corridor, she looked up at Pitors voice and breathed out in relief. At least they had found him for a start. "Yes, we heard it and i don't know why the alert set off. We wanted to find you before we went down to Cerebra to investigate." Xi'ans tone was of forced calm, a habit around her two junior students; even though she was worrying over the students and teachers trapped in Limbo. |

Karma was a bit of a serious one at times. Even when people joke, she still liked to get her point across. "Geez Xi'an Ah said OK, try to feel a bit optimistic once in a while," she replied. She did understand Karma's reasons and knew that the people in Limbo was her biggest concern. Rogue was worried about everyone as well, however wasn't one to really reveal her emotions (even to close friends). The firmness of Karma's voice notified Rogue that wasn't in the mood for anything light or less serious than need be. For that, Rogue halted on her jokes for the night.
Seeing and hearing Colossus, Rogue smirked and shook her head. "Nice to see ya too Pete," she replied. "And yes we heard the alert. Looks like we got a new one on our hands." She listened to Karma and nodded her head. "But since we are all tired, why don't we investigate first thing in the mornin'. Can't really try to think when we all had a long day right?" Bringing her hands to her waist, she looked to Karma and Colossus for their opinions. She didn't want to miss out on the action, and most certainly wanted to sleep.

Colossus smiled at the two small women, and nodded. "I think you are right Rogue. The children have had a long day. We all have for that matter. If we are to go get a new student or anything, we could use some of the children," he said wisely remembering how emotionally and physically tired the children looked.
"I myself am very tired. I do not know if I will sleep tonight. Kitty is in danger and I cannot do anything about it," he said in a distressed voice. "Tomorrow we will have to do it first thing in the morning. We all need some sleep," Colossus said as he lead the ladies quietly down the long hallway/

Exhaling slowly Xi'an closed her eyes and tried to calm her own self down. The day had certainly been a long one, more so for the other two than herself. But on thinking of her two girls back in their room it made the thought of waiting until the morning all the easier to digest. She was in such a panic about the students in limbo that she was refusing to acknowledge her own need for sleep and that of her girls who where still waiting up for her to read them that story. "You're right. We should wait until morning, right."
She needed to calm down, her state of panic had only been furthered by the Cerebra alert. But she would simply need to wind down. "It's alright Peter, we're all worried. It's understandable what your feeling, just try get as much as you can and we can get to business in the morning. My girls are either still waiting or have gone to sleep waiting for me to get back." she said with a small sigh as she nodded her head. "Everyone is alright down here yes? I'll go check on the girls when i get back." |

Rogue kept a neutral face as Colossus spoke about his worries. She couldn't blame him since Kitty was in Limbo and possibly dead. It was a harsh assumption to make, however Rogue wouldn't be surprised if she, or anyone else in the hell-hole did turn out to not make it. Rogue was a realist and was use to her friends and close ones die. She also knew how it felt to truly love someone. Gambit trickled in her memory as Colossus spoke and Karma consoled him. But she quickly erased the memories and focused on the upcoming morning.
"Kitty is strong Pete," she said genuinely. "She has made it out in worst situations." Moving on, Rogue nodded her head in the agreement to meet in the morning. "Alright so it's settled. Let's meet tomorrow mornin' at 900 hours sharp. We need our sleep but we need this kid found pronto." With that, Rogue followed Karma back to the girls dorms, ready for a good night's rest and a morning of action.
