Morning Mission

[Hotwire]

Running a hand through her hair, Ariel entered the kitchen. There were different people in there than when she had last been there, and she gave them all a small smile, raising one eyebrow in the slightest to see one boy having had cake all over his front. Seeing as Rogue was there like she thought in the first place, she went up to her and waved. "Hey Rogue, you called?" she asked, giving her a smile. "What's up? I heard something about getting a new student," she said, moving to lean on the nearby counter. From what Kelly had yelled, they were going to go find the new kid she must have heard about earlier, but she wanted to hear from Rogue herself for clarification.

[Rogue]

"Kelly Burns! You come back here and- Oh what's the use that boy is long gone," Rogue said with a sigh and looked over at Hemlock, the poor thing with the cake all over his shirt. "Ah'm so sorry about that sugah, Ah wish Ah could tell ya it's gonna get bette' but Ah can tell ya ya'll get used to it," she said with a half smile. "Tell ya what, why dontcha go change an' come join us. I'm sure the boy we're pickin' up won't mind to meet someone his own age," Rogue said to Hemlock with a smile and a wink, handing him a napkin.

"Ariel good your here. We're taken a trip up to Maine to get the mutant Cerebra detected. Go suit up and meet at the Hanger ya'll. Dress warm, cause Ah bet its good and cold up there," she said wrapping her arms around herself to indicate the cold. She glanced over at Tempest and smiled with wink. "Ya'll be fine sugah. Now go get dressed. Ariel, could ya maybe lead these two down to the hanger? We're gonna hit the skies right away," Rogue said with a smile, turning around and heading in the direction to the elevator.

On her way she ran into Colossus. "Oh there you are Pete. Listen why dontcha stay back here. Emma will skin us if she finds out we left the school under the protection of only one teacher. Ah can handle it, and I'm stealing Ariel so Ah think Ah'll be fine. Ah will give ya'll a call if anything comes up," Rogue said and patted his arm with a reassuring smile since she knew he might worry a bit. "We'll be fine Pete, Ah'll see you when we get back!"

Rogue then walked to the elevator and went down to the Hanger to get the Quinjet ready for the trip. With Calorie, Hotwire and two of Kurt's team, Ah'm in for one helluva ride!

[Tempest]

Tia watched the teacher scream after kelly and couldn't help but let out a rather too quiet cough-laugh. Rogue started speaking to another student, who she assumed to be Ariel. Tia shifted her eyes around, she was rather hungry, but she'd get through it. Hunger really wasn't something that bothered her too much. She watched Rogue walk out, letting them know they were moving out immidiatley. Tia sighed, as she pushed forward from the wall - apparently the boy who'd called her pretty was comming along too.

She still hadn't managed to catch his name, so she reckoned she'd just think of him as the boy who called her pretty... or maybe the posh english boy. Yeah, posh english boy was probably better - maybe just english boy - the posh may sound offensive to others. She shrugged off the thought, and started to follow Rogue's suit, before she spotted a small packed laying near the shelf by the door. The packet contained one caramel filled croissant. She started walking closer towards the door, eyeing the croissant as she took every step. There was no one else left in the kitchen - no one who was going to stay anywhere, and if someone had wanted to croissant they'd have taken it and not left it...

She pushed away the guilty thoughts bothering her, and lifted the packet, ripping the top open, and pushing the bread-like substance up in the packet, and biting into it. Dammit that tasted good. She licked her lips, before walking out of the door, chewing the croissant as she made her way towads the elevator, heading towards whatever the mission was.

[Colossus]

Colossus stopped in the hallway when Rogue had stopped him and nodded. "That is a wise thought Rogue, I am sure Emma will be in a less than pleasant mood when they return from their ordeal," he said, refusing to say 'if they returned.' He spent his whole life hoping for the best and that everything would work out, and it was not about to change now. "Good luck Rogue, I will keep my phone with me just in case. And please call when you are on your way home," he called before she got to the elevator.

Colossus sighed and walked to the know empty kitchen since all the students left. He looked at the mess and shook his head. "Ah Kelly Burns. Some things will never change. I do not want to imagine what Emma will say when she sees the state of her kitchen that she worked so hard to remodel," he said to himself as he cleaned up the rest of the chocolate and put the sled and Calorie's helmet under the broken wall. Colossus leaned down and picked up the calendar that had been hanging on that wall.

He posted it up on the other side of the doorway, and then looked at today's date to see something written in Cyclops' handwriting. Pick up Chupacabra at Noon, in town -bus station. "Well that is not going to happen. Let's see it is... oh my it is already 10 past 12. I best go and pick the new student up so he is not alone," Colossus said and walked over to the living room to tell Karma, knowing she'd be where the squeals of little girls voices was coming from.
