Meanwhile not too far away...
Joce, who was her gorgeous Atlantean blue self again, grinned at Jax and put her arms around his neck, giving him a pretty little smile. "Admit it, you sooooooo love the sexy act. Me doing it only gets you all pumped and feeling manly. I know how it works," she said with a wink and laughed. "By the way, you so ROCK. Okay Kelly, you're using my phone and do your Iron Man impression. He's probably gonna catch me anyways, but damn its fun to get him going."
She took out her iPhone and did just as Jax said, a saucy grin on her face. "Okay here's the plan. Jax when I point my finger at you, make it all sound like static and white noise, so it will make him have to really listen. Kelly, you gotta make it sound like he's getting signals that they're under attack, mention that its big and blue and coming at the fast and the start going 'Retreat INCOMING' and thats when I'm gonna fly at him and tackle him," she instructed to the two boys, looking over the side of the woods at Cyclops with his back turned to them.
"Ready... Go Kelly go!"

"OH Heeey!" Dane went to give Colossus a big ole ManHug, but he caught himself and pulled up short as some little thing with crazy weird hair and goth looks rushed him with a zillion questions and then before he could warn her she went to give Strider a petting. Dane smiled and shook his head at his winged warhorse's response. "Oh, watch yourself there little one he's kinda finicky, thinks he's some sorta prima donna sometimes. Don't take it personal though, he's got a good heart and yes, he's really a real horse with wings who can kick my ass in Sudoku. Yeah" he looked up at Strider "ya smarty.. go easy they're just kids here."
He turned his attention back to Pete, the Mighty Russian Colossus, Rasputin and took his hand in a shake. "Been too long ya vodka swillin fool. How's it hangin?" He couldn't help but pull him off balance into the hug he had waiting for him. It had been a long time since the two of them were out drinking. Dane remembered the way Colossus had saved his drunk ass from falling off the Brooklyn Bridge that night as they staggered back from one hell of a party.
Looking back at Strider and the young goth girl he said "Oh great idea Pete, that'd be incredible, remember though you gotta mind his wings. They have a natural oil on em, so be real real careful. He will letcha know with a good old thumping if he's irritated. It should be one hell of a learning experience for these kids." He smiled at the idea of these young mutants, most of whom probably never had even seen a horse up close, getting a chance to groom a mythical beasty such as Strider.
"And yeah everything's cool. Ran into some of the kids in the woods and they offered me a chance to come back 'home' for a little fun and food and fan worship. Ya know how I love the fan worship" he grinned. Then turning to Scott he said "Hey I gotta talk with you and Emma about it. Something happened out there.. and well, the soup got a little thick.. if ya get what I'm sayin."

Ricki stared wide eyed at the magnificent Horse that was standing before them. Ricki couldn't help but sigh in awe at the beauty of the mythical creature. She'd heard about the Black Knight and his beautiful horse Strider- never in too much detail, but Ricki did know enough to know that it was a very pleasant surprise for all the residents of the X-Mansion to be able to see the Black Knight in flesh. Ricki was far too awestruck to say anything, she simply stared at the horse, staying frozen in her position, not really approaching the beauty.
Despite the fact that the Horse was so handsome, Ricki was way too scared to muster up the courage like K'8 had done in order to touch the horse. She was scared of big animals as it is and plus with this horse being all sacred and all, there was no way on earth Ricki was going to touch this horse. "He's so handsome." Was all Ricki said, her voice a whisper as she exchanged an awed look with Sean, before slowly pulling herself together again.
She felt slightly out of place here- she didn't know much about the Black Knight, hence she didn't want to offend him. She simply smiled at him as a form of greeting and acknowledged him with a respectful look. She didn't want to say anything, without knowing her background information. "Um, excuse me please," she said politely tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear as she skip-walked her way away from the group. "I should probably go say Hi to Ivy and Leah... I haven't spoken to them much all day." she said her voice slightly hesitant as she excused herself from the group. She smiled at everyone, giving them a quick wave and dodging Strider as she moved away from the group, headed towards the courtyard.
She passed the new Acolyte- Jocelyn, an older Corsair and the new New Mutant who'd been paralyzed by Dante earlier as she headed towards the courtyard, so she could pop up to see Ivy before finding Leah to check on how she was getting along.

"Heh, heh oh man this is gonna be AWESOME! Not as awesome as it woulda been if Joce did it naked, but it comes like THIS close," Kelly said all excited as he took the phone. Screwing with the teachers was one of his favorite pastimes, especially if it involved Cyclops or Wolverine, because those two just gave the best reactions even if it did lead to several near death experiences for Kelly Burns. That was the thing about him though, he never seemed to learn to not screw with them. It could be because he just thought it was all too funny to see the real danger in it all, but really he just liked to push his luck.
Bringing the phone to his ear, he pressed the button and started talking in his flawless Iron Man voice that he picked up that one summer were they pretty much lived at the Avengers Mansion. "Iron Man to Cyclops, Iron Man to Cyclops, Come in," he said in a computerized like voice that always made others laugh at the uncanniness. Kelly peaked over the bushes and waiting until Cyclops picked up the communicator to continue. "We got some strange signals on the airwaves and we just got a satellite image of something coming your way. We can't get a clear image... it looks like a..." This was where Jocelyn pointed her finger for the static to come into play.
"It's coming at you fast, oh no RETREAT INCOMING!" Kelly shouted the last part out, but before anyone could notice that the whole urgent message was coming from just a couple of meters away, Jocelyn was already flying at top speed right at Cyclops aiming at his chest to tackle him just as she said. "Ahahahaha, oh man," he stood by and nodded his head amused, instead of probably retreating himself as he should have to keep from getting caught.

Jax was tryin' his level best not to laugh. Oh man this was downright hilarious. Why hadn't he met Joce earlier? This Kelly guy, who Jax hadn't officially been introduced to seemed like an easy guy as well- who else would have the guts to mess with one of the heads of a mutant school? Jax watched Joce fly towards where Cyclops was, and he had to admit that was downright amazing. That chick was blue and she could fly- man, he was still trying to make himself believe that she was infact human and not another demi-god his ma always chatted about.
"Aw, oh man." Jax was finding it hard to breathe 'cause of the amounts he was laughing. "We should be runnin' dude." Jax pointed out, nudging Calorie in the chest, unsure of whether or not he should run. Jax just had to watch Cyclops' reaction before he sprinted for it with this dude- mind you he wouldn't let Joce take the fall for the whole thing.
She was sexy n' blue and so far a friend to Jax already, and Jax'd been taught how to treat a girl right. He wouldn't let her get into sh*t with the Head, mind you, she seemed like she knew exactly what she was gettin' into with this whole thing, so Jax was, in a way, confused. For now, he'd just follow this Kelly guy's lead- seemed like he was used to this kinda thing, around here.

Scott shook his head at the sight of the departing Taffy. "She's one of yours Colossus. Guess she didn't want to be a party to bathing Strider." He thought better of saying more about the girl sidestepping a task she might have enjoyed, thinking it might just be better to let her hear how she missed out from TuneUp and D'mnchyld.
"Anyway-" he turned to Dane "I've got the impression it was a bit more than camping? With our stude-" he was interrupted then by a crackling voice coming in over his comm. "Hold on.." He said grabbing the communicator off his belt and holding it up to get a better listen to it. The warning from Iron Man did not go unheeded. "Whatever it is- it's coming.. FAST- SCATTER!" He cried out fanning his arms out to the sides and looking skyward just as a bolt of blue like a blur from out of nowhere streaked into him.
Thankful for the warning Scott took the impact full in the chest and hurled himself backward with it. The flash of white light behind his shut eyes let him know it was going to be a rough time getting out of bed for the next couple of days but he held tight to whatever it was as his ruby lensed sunglasses flew from his face. Fighting blind again it seems. Just gotta get under the angle of momentum and let gravity make me the fulcrum.. GOT IT!
As he found the pivot point of the pair of them in flight he pulled hard and brought them both crashing down violently into the earth, making certain his assailant took the brunt of the impact. Angling the momentum so the pair of them flipped over and he wound up on top pinning the flying blue .Flying..?..BLUE..!?!.. "Splice!?!" He felt the face of the person he was sitting on top of with one hand as his other held fast around the throat.
"Cute.. Somebody want to get me my shades? Kelly? How about you? I thought Tony sounded a bit too happy. Well done, but how did you hack- oh no" the look on his face showed the wheels turning in his head as he was piecing through what could have happened. " RAM don't tell me they recruited you in this too." He called out guessing the two boys might be close by if they were in on it. The feel of the girl beneath him let him know he was probably correct in his guess it was Jocelyn, but he was ready to open his eyes and blast whoever he was sitting on if they didn't answer him in the next second.

The fact that Jocelyn was able to maneuver her flight pattern so well was probably was what saved her from having a totally scathed by that little tumble. Her giggling burst in a wave when Cyclops felt her face. "And here I thought you forgot about little ol' me!" she said in the midst of her fit of giggles, reaching her hand out and grabbing the ruby quartz glasses that Jax so diligently threw over. "Oh come on Scott, don't tell me you weren't expecting this?" She said still giggling as she reached up and carefully placed his glasses back on his face, smiling brilliantly up at him.
"Oh yea, by the way this was all my idea and my doing with no help from anyone else," Joce recited and smiled up at Scott as innocently as possible. She knew he wasn't fooled for a second seeing as this wasn't all that uncommon before she left the school, and there was no way she could make her voice sound like Tony Stark's. "Hiya!" She had a big grin on her face as she sat up a little and looked at Cyclops totally proud of herself and beaming at him. "I missed you!" With that she threw her arms around him and gave him a big sincere hug. She adored him, always had even if he was a big ol' stick in the mud most of the time. He cared way more than people gave him credit for and Jocelyn adored him just for being that guy to keep it together in any situation.
She had a big smile while she hugged him stubbornly tight and refused to let go even if he tried to untangle himself from her. When it came to hugs, she had that iron grip, and she wasn't content. "Uncle Namor said for me to call you a Son of a Bitch for managing to keep Emma this long, and wants me to remind you he's still waiting for you to turn around so he can make his move," she said with a giggle as she looked up at him, chin resting on his shoulder. She knew that her Uncle Namor and Emma Frost used to have a pretty steamy relationship back in the day, but she knew that they parted on good terms and as far as she knew Namor held no distaste for Cyclops. "Get a good break from me?"

Barely able to wriggle an arm free of the hug Scott adjusted his glasses on his face. "If you only knew Jocelyn, oh and by the way messages like that are never really meant to be delivered, but I missed you too." He smiled slightly and then caught himself before anyone could see it. Or at least he hoped he caught himself before his soft spot for the girl he helped to raise was shown for God and the world at large to see.
Twisting his lips down into a contrived frown he said. "I know it was your idea, those two were just your pawns. Poor guys, fell under your spell, I'll have to take them for a five mile run to get it out of their systems" he threatened half heartedly. "Well, I will say they fed you well down there. You hit like half a ton young lady, nice shot." He stood up and nodded at her to let him go so he could step back and take a good look at her.
"You shot up.. and out, what did they feed you?" When Scott had last lay his eyes on the girl she was almost a foot shorter and hardly had a curve to her. If his eyes were more visible through his glasses the sight of them popping out of his head would have been one for the yearbook, as it was though the crooking of his head to the side was enough to show his astonishment. "My word Jocelyn! If it wasn't for the little ankle wings and your beautiful Atlantean completion, oh and the fact that you just decked me, I never would have recognized you."
"You should have checked in with me before you left for the weekend, but clever as you are you didn't fully check in so you could get away with leaving- now that I see you.. consider yourself checked in." He clapped his hands together and waved Jax and Kelly in closer. "Alright you two see what help Colossus needs and Jocelyn you can help TuneUp and D'mnchyld wash Strider down and get him settled in a stall."
"Pete, they're all yours." He said with a half wave, half salute to Colossus as he roughly grabbed Dane on the shoulder. "You could have warned me they were gonna pull that.." he said with a sidelong glance "..come on, like you didn't know?" to the Black Knight as he gave him a slight shove.

Jax was practically howling with laughter as realisation struck Cyclops and he got around to gettin' a good look at Jocelyn. Jax had to admit, Cyclops' reaction to the ambush had been downright hilarious: Joce sure knew what she was doing, but what amused Jax more was Cyclops' reaction to Joce once he managed to get out of her choke hold. Jax was somewhat imagining Cyclops wear a similar look to the one the two boys from the garage had been wearing.
"I'm Hindu, Cyclops," Jax said once his laughter calmed down. "I'd be disgracing the religion if I didn't obey the Blue chick." He had a lazy grin stuck to his face as he exchanged a look with Jocelyn, winking at her subtly. So, Cyclops did have a Heart and wasn't just Rules and Stern Looks afterall. Good ta know. Jax nudged Kelly once more, unable to hold his grin back as he headed off to see Colossus- another X-Man whose name Jax was familiar with, but hadn't had a chance to meet in person quite yet.
"How can we help you, sir?" he asked, not really minding whatever was coming next considering he was still dwelling in amusement due to the stunt they'd just pulled off.

Piotr dissolved in laughter just at the look on his longtime friend's face when Jocelyn tackled him flat. He of course had already seen her, but he had anticipated Scott's reaction to seeing the little hellcat that was not so little anymore. It amazed him how fast the kids grew up, in fact many of them weren't even kids anymore. Looking at some of the Corsairs, well it made him feel old as he still remembered the day they were all brought to the school, small and a handful with so much growing up to do. He knew it wouldn't be long before his own Acolytes and just the kids around him at this moment would no longer be kids anymore. Sometimes time passed by so quickly that he didn't know where it went until it was long gone.
"Ah that must have made my day. She got you good Scott," Piotr said wiping tears from his eyes. He waved Jax and Kelly over, eying Kelly suspiciously. "I could use some help clearing out the stall for Strider, since everything else is done. Kelly, when I say 'help' that doesn't mean you turn anything whatsoever into food. That means that I need you to use the physical power in your muscles, not any other power." He clarified it as best as he could, knowing from past experience to be as specific as possible.
He continued to specify as the walked to the large stall in the back, passing Jenny up in the hayloft on the way. "Jax, I would like you to grab another bale of hay and make the bed thicker please. Kelly, I need you to just fill up the water manger with the water from the automatic tap. That means just wait until it's full and turn it off. And please, for the love of everything, please just leave the water as is. I promise that Strider will not appreciate beer or orange soda, or coffee. Just leave it as water. Am I clear?" Piotr looked at Kelly with high suspicion, readying himself for the inevitable mischief.

Kelly was nodding his head with a big smile on his face through everything that Colossus said, looking like he was listening to everything. "Water, no beer. Got it," he said with a big grin and turn on the tab, watching the water fill up the basin. "Man it must suck to be a horse. I mean they can't have beer, or pizza, or meatloaf. And they can't even play with chicks boobs and stuff. That's like..." His eyes were wide in horror at the mere thought, a life without his favorite things was too horrible to think about.
"Oh man I don't even wanna imagine that. Can you even fathom a life without all that awesome stuff that makes life awesome? That's like... man that would be a really crappy life. Just thinking about it makes me feel like that day that Emma wore a big bulky jacket that hid the girls. That was a bad, bad day man," Kelly said shaking his head, not paying attention to the water that was close to overflowing the basin at this point. "It's why I hate winter. They always change the temperature control code on me so I can't make it extra hot in the mansion and have all the chicks in tank tops again. HEY!"
He looked at Jax like he just had a stroke of genius. "YOU'RE HERE NOW! Oh man me and you, winter time, oh man we'll make it happen." Kelly nodded his head with a big grin and found himself looking forward to the upcoming winter.

"You gottit sir." Jax had a lazy grin stuck over his face as he lifted up a bale of hay without too much effort considering he was used to working on the land back home and dropped it on the bed in order to make it thicker. As he worked, he looked over at Kelly who looked like Christmas'd come early... ironic, considering it was indeed Christmas the two boys were now looking forward to. His lazy grin morphed into something slightly more mischievous and a distinct spark entered his eyes.
He turned his head to look over at Jocelyn for a second, before turning back to look over at Kelly. "We'll definitely make it happen." Jax respected women, sure, but at the end of the day he was a guy. If given the choice between a heavily clothed chick and a chick running around in a tank top and hot shorts... who wouldn't pick the latter?
"Man, I love my power." he said in and undertone.
It took a while, but in the end they all managed to get the stables sorted and get the magnificent horse, Strider, all washed and polished before they headed off to the kitchens to treat themselves to some well earned rice n' beans.
