NOTE: the story is actually a roleplaying game currently in progress
Scion woke up in his huge bed and slipped out of the covers and headed straight for the ensuite bathroom in desperate need of the loo...(actions taken, not explaining)has a wash,(again actions taken not explaining) he walked out of the bathroom scrubbing himself down with a towel then walked to his closet and grabbed a pair of baggy black jeans modified to incorparate a hole for his tail and manouvered his tail into the hole before pulling the jeans up then grabbed one of his black no sleeve t-shirts and put it on then grabbed for one of his favourite white martial arts jackets and walks over to his desk and took a small hairbrush in which he stroked out his small mane and the fluffy bit on the end of his tail, satisfied with his appearance he walked to his bed and straightened out the covers then went to his window and opened the curtains and saw the sun already up, then he looked at his clock, "9 o'clock already, I'm so glad its a saturday", he said to himself as he started walking to the door remembering the last time he was late waking up for a danger room session in which Teyilia had opened a portal underneath him in his bed and he woke up with a thud clutching his duvet and while getting a right telling off from Tey for sleeping in and how she got him that alarm clock to make sure he was up in time for these sessions...
Scion sighed and creaked his door open slightly and popped his head out the door and saw no one in the corridoors, he closed his door went back to his desk and slipped his paw shaped tip less gloves on and went to the door opened it crept into the hall way and closed his door as quietly as he could...
Scion walked as quietly as he possibly can along the hallways hoping he would get the chance to eat something before he got called over by someone, he poked his head around coners as if he was spying or on some sort of espionage mission, then he makes a break for the stairs on all four paws, he makes it about halfway down before hearing a few voices of a couple students walking around upstair and he jumps over the banister and lands softly and hides up against the staircase and behind a plant, he heard the voices getting further away, he looks around at the quiet hallway thiking that must not have been the only one to have had a lie in today. he started to run for the Kitchen and makes it to the doorway without being seen.
Scion poked his head round the door finding the entire kitchen empty, not one person, Scion was now feeling somewhat nervous, "I know its a big acadamy but I've usually encountered someone by now", he looked behind him and down the hallway before going in the kitchen, then checked the door incase there wass a portal there or any trip wire or something, finding nothing he cautiously went into the kitchen and immediatly to the drawer where his vitamins were and gets up on one of the sides as he was too short to actually reach the drawer but he doesnt mind it, he got into the drawer and got one of his vitamins out then hops down closing the drawer and walked to one of the two fridges opening it and getting a small bottle of semi skimmed milk ripping the lid off and downing the bottle. before closing the fridge he looked round the door of it half expecting someone to jump out on him and nearly had himself jump to see no one was there, he grabed another bottle of semi skimmed milk and closed the fridge then hopped up on the side again and gets himself a bowl of Frosties(their like cornflakes but encrusted with suger) and then poured half the bottle of milk onto the Frosties then downed the rest of the bottle he grabbed a spoon from one of the drawers and sat down on the worktop starting to eat...
Teyilia slept like a log, sound asleep ontop of her Kitty Tower bed(if you could call it a bed), rolling over as the alarm went off and a pair of voices walked by the door Teyilia fell off the Tower and onto her feet, shifting form as she fell as to land on both her feet and hands. Looking into the mirror she noticed one thing right away, her hair was a mess, grabbing up a comb she cleaned as best she could and got dressed, the blue/black/purple shirt had a few dangling parts to it that went below the belt line, kind of like a jacket tied around the waist. after looking at the clock she headed for some food, thinking it best to walk rather then go by portal like she almost always did.
As she reached for her door Xaviers voice rang in her head, "Teyilia, would you get a few other X-Men together and meet me in my office?" Teyilia nodded, knowing full well that Xavier felt her nod. She head out of her room
Teyilia left her room and shifted her form a bit as the smell of food from the night before hit her now overly sensitive nose, walking along the hallway Teyilia opened a portal and entered it, going to the kitchen to get dsome food and grab a few other X-Men, Gambit should be home or somewhere, I wonder where Scion is? he's been wanting to go on a mission, perhaps he would come on this one? she thought as she entered the portal.
The door to the Kitchen bacme hazy and Teyla came out looking a bit on the half cat half human side of things, somehow whenever she went into the portals she seemed to automatically shift form just enough to protect herself should something happen. at first she saw nobody, but then she smelled food from the night before and headed for the large walk in freezer for some food to have before going to see Xavier.
When she came out she noticed Scion near one of the fridges, raising a furry eyebrow as she shifted form enough to use her claws to cut what she got out of the freezer, she spoke to Scion as she cut the food, "whatcha doing up so early on a lazy day like this for?" she asked the lionboy, who in her opinion was possibly the best to have around if you were feeling down.
Scion raised his glance from his bowl of cereal as he was sitting on the worktop next to one of the fridges "early? what are you doing getting up so late? your the one who drags people out of bed with Logan at 5-5.30 in the morning for exercise and a danger room session, as for lazy day you warped me out of bed at 7am last saturday morning cuz I was late for your danger room session with only my quilt to cover up myself"
He gave Teyilia a glance halfway between absolute shock of her audaicty and a scowl and sighs getting his breath back and lifted another spoonful up to his mouth and his left hand went up to his left ear and scratched behind it, clearly he was still somewhat tired as he yawned mid chew and showed Tey his mouths contents
Teyilia smirked as Scion spoke, then broke down in laughter at remembering his screaming like loony until she sent him back to his room to get dressed, somehow that was both a funny mental image as well as a somewhat mean one in Scions case, she remembered telling him she was sorry, and had done it at Logan's insisting her to. "Yes, I remember that, as well as... hey" She snaked a hand to his mouth and closed it, "Yup you just woke up, close that I'm cooking my own food" she said still laughing.
She put the meat on a full sized resturant style stovetop and let it cook for a minute as she headed for one of the fridges, grbbing what looked like a twenty oz bottle of cranberry juice she set it on the countertop and also took out a ten oz bottle of blackberry juice to mix with both the cranberry juice and a bit of the meat(she liked the taste of blackberry flavored meat in the morning, plus the eggs were just as good.)
As her food cooked she turned back to Scion, a thought on her mind, "How would you like to help out today other then learning like every day that you have been?" she asked Scion.
In mid yawn he felt Teyilia close his mouth and stared as blankly as he could at her. when he finished yawning he swallowed and smiled in recognition of her eating habits, he listened to Tey's question as he was a bout to take another spoonful of cereal and dropped the spoon back into the cereal making it splash lightly and looked up at Tey with his big lion eyes all lit up as if it was christmas and the biggest grin that had ever been seen on his face that it nearly stretched from ear to ear, he then wiped the look straight of his face trying to act cool and said quite matter of factly, " a mission, sure im game" he said nodding slightly rather coolly but inside he was rapidly filling with excitement as he rcovered his spoon licked the thing then lifted the bowl of cereal and down its remaining contents in one foul and loud gulp, as he lowered the bowl from his mouth he let out a long sigh and then burped openiing his eyes widely he put a hand to his mouth,"excuse me", he stood up on the worktop and grabbed his spoon along with the bowl and took them to the dishwasher and puts them in with other dish that other people had put there already, and went back to the worktop he was sitting on and jumped up and sat there waiting for Tey to finish her breakfast
Teyilia poured a bit of the blackberry juice onto the cooking meat, the meat sizzled for a few minutes as she let it cook, she spoke to Scion as she cooked, "You remember the last time you saw Storm?"she asked as she turned to look to Scion, "Well, from what I can tell of how the Professor is acting since she had left with Rogue and Bobby last month, I think she's missing, but I'm not sure" Teyilia smiled as the meat started to take on a black color, her breakfast was ready.
She took the food off the stove and set it on a plate, most of it was thinly sliced ham, she set the plate near Scion on the counter and drank down the cranberry juice, then shifted form into a small-ish brown and grey cat and hopped up to her food to eat, she always ate her breakfast as a cat, she was just too darned used to it.
Scion paused for a moment at the question, "yeah it was about a month ago it was a lesson in the danger room, she was teaching us how to adapt to our surroundings so we can look out for each other and not get ambushed, then straight afterwards Logan gave us a scenario in which we all got ambushed, only thing was he did it in the middle of Storms class", he frowned slightly remembering the lesson and how badly his ass got kicked "yuu know I dont think Logan likes me, it must be an animal thing!!!", he let Teyilia talk, "missing... they cant just disappear I mean even the cerb..crub..curb... the head thingy the professor plays with would pick em up straight away wouldnt it? so thats gonna be our mission you think a search party?" he says as she changed into cat form and jumped up to the worktop to the plate infront him and started eating her blackberry ham
Teyilia ate some of the ham then spoke after swallowing, "That's the thing, he can't even pick them up with that at all, which means either they are possibly dead, yeah, I know, that's a bad thing, OR they are in a place that is blocking the thing from finding them, the latter of the two I think is the most likely answer" she said, then she had top stick her furry nose in the ham to keep from laughing when Scion spoke of Logan not liking him, poor Scion would hate to find out that Logan actually was coming on the mission.
She looked up from her food as her tongue licked the blackberry and ham off her nose, "you know something, you are going to have a fun time on this mission, Logan's coming along because he knows Storm better then anyone as she and him both sparred with the other more times then I can count, plus we are going to need his help too." Teyilia said going back to eating her food.
Meanwhile outside the front gates
As Spero approched the front gate, she stepped from her car and looked around, So... clean... hmm... ah, the door bell. Spero looks at the buzzer for a minute as if trying to decide weather to ring the bell, it is still early in the morning, but I am sure someone would be awake... Finally, she pushed the button and waited.
"Hello" came a cheery sounding voice by way of the comm, "welcome to Xavier's School for the Gifted, please follow the main drive to the doors, someone will meet you there." The gates opened so Spero could drive up o the front area and small parking places
"Thanks" Spero followed the voices instructions, getting back into her car and driving the length of the driveway, stoping in the first open parking spot and she walks to the door, entering the house. Not much going on this morning apparently, now, where is that guide? Spero looked around the main entery, taking in the various pictures and plants, waiting for her guide.
Logan walked up to the front door. He was wearing jeans, a lumberjack style shirt and cowboy boots. At just over five feet tall, almost four feet wide at the shoulder and about three feet deep at the chest, he mad the term stout pale by comparison. He'd been working with the Professor to try to locate Storm's team in Washington. The effort had been futile and he'd been getting frustrated, so Xavier had asked him to go and greet a new arrival. He figured Chuck had done it more to get Logan out of his non-existant hair than for any other reason, but he'd reluctantly agreed. It wasn't like there was much he could do until he got feet wet in DC, anyway.
Opening the door, he looked the young arrival over. "Welcome t' Xavier's," he growled. "My name's Logan. The Prof. asked me t' play tour guide f'r ya. He didn't tell me anything more, so I gotta ask . . . what's y'r name an' w'r ya invited, sent 'r did ya just decide t' show up?"
"Dr. X sent for me, something about needing help finding someone. My name is Spero but you can call me Sophie. Nice to meet ya." Spero looked around as she stepped inside. He seems nice. "Is there somewhere I should put my stuff," she lifted two small bags.
Logan nodded and sized the girl up for a moment. She acted older than she looked and there was a sadness about her that Logan had seen in too many people he'd considered friends over the years.
With a grunt, he gestured over his shoulder to an inner door. "Guess Chuck won't mind if ya leave y'r bags in his office f'r now. If y'r gonna be helpin' us, ya won't have time t' get settled before we head t' DC. If y'r hungry, th' kitchen's right down th' hall."
"Thanks" she nodded, "So, does the profesor want to see me then? or is there a breafing that is comming up? What now?" Spero woundered aloud, looking towards the kitchen as if trying to decide if she is hungry or not.
"He's a little busy right now," Logan responded, sniffing the air, "but there'll be a team briefing startin' pretty soon. My nose tells me that the gal in charge o' th' mission is in th' kitchen right now. I figure she'll wanna meet ya if Chuck wants ya on th' team f'r this."
"Right, to the kitchen then!" she smiles warmly, making exagerated adventurous gestures with her arms (such as pointing towards the kitchen), the sad look still hanging in her eyes. She took one last look around the Main entry before heading into the kitchen
Stoping in the doorway for a few moments, Spero watchs Teyilia and Scion's show. Then when she hears Logan's name, Logan, she piped up, "Oh, Logan is comming to, how nice." She smiles and continues, introducing herself, "I'm Spero, I hear that you are in charge of the mission...um, what is your name again?" She frowns, looking from Teyilia to Scion, when suddenly her stomach growls. "Excuse me, perhaps we can do intoductions later, I seem a bit more hungry then I remembered," she blushes, still standing in the doorway.
The cat that was Teyilia on the countertop that was actually eating the Blackberry Ham from a plate looked up, "Hello, indeed Logan is coming with us aren't you Logan?" Teyilia said looking to the doorway and seeing both Logan and Spero standing there, Teyilia nodded a quck "hang on a second" and finished her food and then hopped off the counter still in her housecat form. but she shifted as she hopped off, landing on her feet and standing up in full, she smiled to Spero, "Indeed I am in charge of this mission, my name is Teyilia, this is Scion, you already met Logan" teyilia said doing the introductions, then she smiled, "You like to cook? there is plenty of food in the fridges and freezer, if you see anything that says 'kitty chow' that's mine" Teyilia said with a smile on her face as she showed Spero where some food was. Once Spero was looking for something to eat Teyilia went back to the stove to clean the Blackberry juice off so nobody else that used it either didn't eat or dumped her in the pool again like the last time.
Noticeing the deepfryer, Spero looked around for some fresh potattoes, and, after finding some, took the nearest knife and began to cut away the skin, paying close attention to where the knife was in relation to her fingers. She finally got the potatto into something that resembeled uncooked fries and dumped them into the deepfryer. "Anyone else want any fries? There is plenty" She offered sweetly.
Logan followed Spero in with little more than a grunt to acknowledge Teyilia's comment. Of course he was coming on the mission. He wasn't particularly close to the Ice Cube, but if Storm and the River Rat were in trouble, he'd like to see someone try to stop him from coming to the rescue. He walked over to a second fridge and gripped the handle. The sensors built into the system read his biometrics and confirmed he was allowed access. When the door opened the others could see a supply of beer and some other alcoholic beverages inside. Logan reached in and came out with a beer, then closed it securely so none of the kids accidentally got into the booze.
Teyilia noticed out of the corner of her eyes the inside of the second fridge, Xavier had it installed when Logan joined the ranks of the X-Men a few years back. thankfully she too could get into the thing but she rarely ever did, she was almost the main driver of the team when on missions. "Is that locked?" she asked with a joking tone in her voice as if she wanted the day to start off in a funny way then go downhill. She smiled, "We don't want any kids getting into it right" she said once more giving into a small burst of laughter after thinking of the poor kid that gopt to Logans drink that was out a few months ago, thankfully Logan had gone easy on the little guy and only warned him.
Looking to Spero she shook her head, "Thanks, I'll have a few, but not many, being that I just had my breakfast as you came in." she said, she went over to a cabnet and pulled out a clean plate for Spero to put the food on, "Here you go" the feline woman said setting the plate on the countertop near the deepfryer
Once again Scion gave the look of half shock and half scowl finding out that Logan was coming and sighed in defeat knowing all to well that he probably has the most experiance in these missions then his ears flicker hearing someone approaching the doorway and looks to the door as Spero and Logan appear and smiles softly, he let Tey do the introductions and waved when she introduces him then raised a furry eyebrow at Logan getting a beer out of the second fridge, thinking 'hmm beer if I unplug the fridge then fry the lock and use a cyber print of Logans hand on the handle that would open it really easily, I wonder what beer tastes like?', "beer for breakfast, are you feeling alright Mr Logan Sir?"
Teyilia smirked as Logan started to drink the beer, she spoke to Scion as she finished cleaning the stovetop, "I have blackberry ham for breakfast on days like this and it holds me over until well past lunch but then Logan is Logan and he likes his beer" she said as she put her plate in the dishwasher and leaned against the counter, she counted off who was there on a furry finger as she shifted a bit, Logan, Scion Spero and myself, that makes four, we need one more for this mission she thought counting out the team members for the mission. This was going to be the very first mission that Teyilia would be in charge of. "Anybody seen Gambit around?" she asked thinking of the man, they could sure use his skills on the mission.
Logan chuckled. "Kid, I had breakfast 'bout four hours ago; steak, potatoes an' eggs if ya gotta know. This is lunch."
Scion tried pulling a face asd if to understand but what he cant understand in the slightest is why anyone would want to get up at 5 am for on a saturday none the less any day. remembering what Tey said about Logan making sure had shut the door to the second fridge and waited for Logan to look away and placed a paw against the fridge from where he was sat and closed his eyes focusing on the computerised componants of the fridge, and as three little hairs in his fringe spiked up almost instantly the fridge door with the beer behind bleeped and opened hiting Logan softly in the back, as soon as scion heard the bleep he pulled his hand off the fridge and looked at the door in disbelief, "the fridge is haunted!!?", he says hoping neither Tey or Spero Saw him do that, even though Tey is the only one who knows about the three hairs effect whenever he uses his cyberpathy
Logan kicked the door closed and glared at Scion. "Do that again, small fry, and you an' I 'r gonna have a date in th' Danger Room."
Teyilia smirked at both Logan and Scion, "Both of you knock it off OK? lets not get beat up before we even leave on the mission," she said in a scolding tone, but with the smirk still on her face. "Something tells me this mission is going to be fun in a sense of... well you know." She let the thought hang, not wanting to think to far ahead of what might have happened with Storm and the others.
Scion looks away innocently grudging the idea of another of Logans lessons in the art of whupping a little lions ass all over the danger room floor, then turns to look at Tey thinking about what she said to stop Logan from picking on him and then realises that if he does well in this mission he might be allowed to do more missions, if they arose.(which they undoubtedly will) and sighed feeling slightly lightheaded at his little dream of doing more missions and looks up noticing his three hairs still standing on end and licks his right glove a lil bit and strokes the three hairs back down into the folds of his hair, then looks at Spero wondering if she felt the family love in the room
Teyilia smiled as she watched Scion react to Logan, somehow the two would have to get along on the mission, otherwise Storm would get the better end of a good talk with Logan, Unless it is for a class then they both think alike Teyilia thought remembering her first DA session, she was nearly killed had she not shifted into half cat form at the last second.
She turned to Logan, "So, you get up every morning at five am and ate then four hours later it is time for lunch? I must have slept in late." Teyilia said to Logan, she pointed to the beer, "Aren't you going to have some actual food with that beer?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Last I looked I'd been around long enough not t' need a mother anymore, darlin'." Logan toasted her with his beer. "Not hungry. Wanna stay lean an' mean. Whoever we're after, took 'Ro out of action, not t' mention Drake an' th' River Rat, an' that ain't no easy thing t' do. We're gonna need t' be at th' top o' our games 'r we're gonna wind up in th' same shape. Y'd best remember that, kitty cat. This ain't no party we're headin' f'r. It's war."
Teyilia smiled, "I remember, too old even for me" she said, then she went silent as if thinking, almost cutting herself with a clawed finger as she tapped a claw against her chin, Indeed it is very hard to get Storm out of action if at all, Bobby though is a bit more of a hit and run type, Anna though, she's either in big trouble or worse, but then Storm was leading the three, what the hell happened?? Teyilia spoke, as if still thinking, "If the Professor can't find them, even with Cerebro or Jean, if they are still alive, something has to be blocking both of them, but what?" Teyilia looked up and continued, "Lets just hope they are just alive and blocked from them for now, no use thinking bad thoughts about the mission before it even starts" she said
Logan shrugged. "I c'n think of six 'r seven different things that could be blockin' Chuck, Jeannie an' Cerebra. If Magneto was able t' design a helmet that c'n do it, there 'r a lot o' folks out there with better brains n' he's got. Cerebra can't detect 'em if they're in orbit. We've run into more alternate dimensions n' ya c'n shake a stick at. Bottom line is that those three r' too tough an' well trained f'r someone t' have taken 'em out without one o' 'em gettin' some kinda word out. We'll get t' Washington, I'll find their trail, an' we'll follow it t' wherever they're bein' held an' get 'em free."
He paused for a moment. "An' that's as close as y'r ever gonna get me t' givin' a pep talk."
"I kinda liked it. It was nice." Spero smiled, almost blushing. "So, when, did you say, we leave?" Spero took fries out of the frier, dumping them on a plate and offering it to the others before taking a fry and, just as she is about to eat it, decides to let it cool first. I can't wait to see him in action she thinks, looking at Logan.
Logan finished off his beer, crushed the can and stole a few fries. "Soon as Xavier gives th' flamin' word. He doesn't want t' send us t' Washington as long as there's a chance Storm's team is somewhere else. He's checkin' out a coupla last possibilities, then he'll give us th' go. Meantime, I'm gonna leave ya in Tey's hands an' go rouse th' cajun."
That said, Logan rose from his seat and headed out the door.
Teyilia called to Logans leaving back, "Good luck" somehow Logan was gonna need it. Jean's looking into the possiblity that the killer got them by finding the last place Strom was with Cerebro, Xavier is doing...what? she wondered, Charles put her in charge of a five man team when clearly she was only a second in command, but then if he wanted her in chargem there was really no way to get around it.
Up in Gambits room the curtains were closed, darkness filled the room, slight movement from the bed as the cajun shifted around, but remained asleep. Mutterings come up from under the covers.
Logan climbed the stairs and headed straight for Gambit's room. Standing in the hall, he sniffed the air. Yeah, the cajun was inside. Probably still asleep. Logan reached out and planted a knock on the door loud enough to wake the dead. "Yo, LeBeau! Outta bed! We're headin' f'r Washington!"
More mutterings something in french to the extent of 'just five more minutes papa', then rolled over curling up more and seems to fall back asleep.
Logan shook his head, lit a cigar and kicked the door in. "Outta bed or I'll have Teyilia warp ya into th' pool."
Gambit jumped as his door was kicked in, then groaned rubbing his red on black eyes "Mon'dieu...y'dun 'afta be like dat mon'ami, Gambit's up..." slowly the cajun gets out of bed, he's wearing a pair of black silk pj bottoms.
Logan looked at him, nods, takes a puff on his cigar, then turns and heads back to the kitchen. "Th' team's gatherin' in th' kitchen."
Gambit stretched a bit watching the canadian leave, and smirked and rummaged through his dresser drawer and got out some clothes, then starts humming as he enters his bathroom and takes a shower, taking his sweet time.
Finally he finished his shower and dried off, humming away, he got dressed, then went through the whole 'grooming' thing he does. Once he's finished he slips out of the bathroom and heads down to the Kitchen to everyone else.
"Hey Tey?",Scion said, once he had got Teyilia's attention he grinned and pulled a funny face, "dont look so seroius all the time, it doesnt suit you", then he put on his funny serious face as if making mockery of Tey's serious face, "dont worry we'll find the others then everything will be fine again, now cheer up or else!!", his grin grows even wider as hi lifts his right paw and makes electricity bounce around from each of his claws..."or else im gonna have to do some Static Shock Therapy!?!?!?!"
Teyilia smirked when Scion said to be cheerful, sometimes, even a cat had to be serious from time to time, but then again, SST was not a good idea, Teyilia raised an eyebrow with a smile on her face, "You sure you want to give me more of that SST again? The last time you did that to me, we ended up in the pool remember?" indeed both of them had, Scion had started the static shock therapy on her and Teyilia opened a portal under him, only to go with him into the pool, and thankfully it was late spring al warm outside.
Teyilia went over to the counter and shifted as she sat on it, becoming a solid blue housecat that was sitting on the edge of the countertop, her tail around her feet.
Logan re-entered the kitchen puffing on a cigar. His face was expressionless, but there was a kind of smug satisfaction in his step that just couldn't be ignored.
"Gambit's up," he said, walking past Teyilia and scratching her ears idly. "He oughtta be down in a few."
Teyilia purred as Logan scratched her ears, which then in turned perked up as the shower started up, "Up he's up, and he's gonna have to get breakfast on the fly," she said as Xaviers voice was heard.
"It is time for you to head out, Jean found something at Fort McNair in Washington, somehow it feels like something I felt before, there are two Mutants at Fort McNair, it is unknown of what they are doing, I already have you five cleared for landing in the Jet at the landing area of Fort McNair, you must hurry, get your things and go before time runs out"The Professor said, his voice heard by only those going on the mission, and that was five people, Teyilia, Logan, Xpero, Scion and Gambit.
Teyilia hopped off the countertop, "I'll get my things from my room and meet you at the jet" she said before opening a port and disappearing.
After listening to Dr. X talk, Spero looked a bit releaved to finally have something to do. She took the remaining fries and put them in a bag for Gambit. "He can have these," She offers holding the bag, "I am through with them anyway, I will be right back, I just need to grab something from my car, we will meet back in the garage?" Spero waits for an answer and, nods to the room before heading back to her car.
"'Bout flamin' time," Logan growled as Xavier's voice resounded in their heads.
Seeing Spero leave, Logan followed after her. "Get y'r stuff an' follow me. Th' hanger access is down below.
Scion grinned excitedly hearing the professors message and followed after Logan and Spero hopping off the counter.
Gambit enterd just as everyone is leaving "Mon'dieu...we leavin' a'ready?" he turned and followed Logan and the others.
Once outside Spero tossed her current bags in the back seet of her car and walked around to the back. She pressed a few strangely marked buttons and opens the trunk. Shoot, what was that second code again? 10,5,7...no. 9,54,8,731,2 as she presses the final button (also strangely marked), a click inside the car reveals a large, hidden compartment with numorous weapon bags. She picked two, then reaches under the car and brings out an eight foot long, solid diamond/adamantium sword and puches a small metal rod into the end of the hilt. She looks back into the car, and brings out a pair of specially desined sun glasses, built from 100 percent plastic, but also puts a small metal ring around each arm of the shades. She also grabs about 5 small metal marbles and puts them in her pocket. Right, now, where did logan go, she thinks closing the trunk of her car.
Logan waited at the main entrance as Spero gathered her stuff. He quietly assessed the effectiveness of the weaponry she was pulling out. He didn't know what powers she had, but he hoped she wasn't going to depend on that sword. Didn't matter how good she was, that blasted thing was going to be next to useless in close quarters. He made a mental not to familiarize himself with her abilities once they were on the Blackbird.
Scion not completely looking where he was going had just in time noticed that Logan wasnt walking anymore and he skidded to a stop in the hall way behind Logan, feeling the awkward silence in the air and knowing that he's the youngest of the group had him wanting to shout at logan to not treat him like a kid oon this mission, he believed in himself that he was more than capable to keep up with any of the x-men, but not only that he wasnt scared of Logan in the slightest,Scions mother was FAR more frightening. but he didnt want Logan to know this.
whilst he was waiting he remembers his home and shudders thinking about his mom and sister, then looks at Logans back and grin's at the thought of him and her having an arguement, knowing just how stubborn they both are plays out scenarios of who would in in his head giving off a small snicker as Logan had failed in every bout
"Right, now where is the famous Blackbird?" Spero carries her bags at her sides almost automatically looking down to make sure they are closed, which they are. I wounder how long the flight will be...
The cajun makes his entrance from the kitchen, brown trenchcoat on as he smirks "Merdi Logan...y'rushin' 'round so much y'makin' dis homme's 'ead spin!" chuckles softly as he idly shuffles a deck of playing cards.
"We got friends in trouble, cajun," Logan said, "an' no time t' waste. Storm's team's gone missin' an' we're headin' f'r th' rescue. What you two doin' hangin' 'round here, anyway. Ya both know where th' Blackwing is. Get t' movin'."
He turned to Spero. "This way, darlin'. Follow me."
Frowns nodding and says no more, with Storm in trouble there's no time to fool around.
"Okay." she followed Logan, looking down at her feet as she walks.
"of course i know where it is, im justnot allowed down to those depths of the mansion unacompanied, im still a student remember!!" not that he hadn't been down there on his own but he wasnt going to let that get out, though saying that the professor probably already knows, he follows Gambit down to the blackbirds hangar
While all the while Tey had gone back to her room for a few things Just inside the closed door of her room a small hazy area was seen and a dark blue cat appeared, the cat shifted form as it walked over to the grey cabnet, Teyilia typed in a codex to unlock the main locks then spoke her own codex to open the last lock, opening the doors Teyillia took her combat vest out and put it on, the 9mm holster strapped to her right leg, a pair of combat knives where on the left hip, she then took her belt of Adamantium Daggers out of the cabnet and put it on, then took her P-90 SLA and warped a box of ammo into the Jet holding area with a loud thunk. Then she headed for the Jet herself, taking a portal to the Jet itself.
Inside the Jet there came a thud followed by a startled sounding meow as Teyilia came out of the port and nearly walked face first into the back of a chair, gotta work on coming out in small places, I keep forgetting how small this thing is inside she thought as she powered up the computer systems. The screen read.

Teyilia knew that she wasn't the one to fly the Jet, though she did have a pilots license, though gretting the thing powered up in time and speed for the teamto leave was highly needed, something odd was going on at Storm's last location, and the team was going to get there ASAP if Teyilia could help it, she opened the loading ramp to the Jet so everyone else could get inside the thing and hit the roof switch to open the roof-like hangar door. behind the garage.
Gambit arrives and looks around, idly wonders where the others are but figures they'll be here shortly and boards the jet's ramp, nods smiling at Teyilia "Bon'jour petite...y'comin' long wit' us den?" he asks.
"She's in charge," Logan growled as he boards right behind Gambit with Spero and Scion in tow. "Guess I'm flyin'. Tey, Cajun, run th' flamin' pre-flight while I get changed inta my workin' togs."
That said, he disappeared into one of the small restrooms at the back of the cabin; emerging a few minutes later in his uniform. He immediately moves into the pilot's seat and finishes the prep and presses the button that begins the roll back of the basketball court. "Buckle up, kiddies," he calls to the others. "I ain't wastin' any energy on fancy flyin'."
Gambit nodded and did so helping Teyilia with the preflight, and when Logan returns he takes a seat, idly shuffles his cards.
Teyilia smiled when Gambit arrived, then everyone else entered the Jet and Logan spoke his bit of getting the thing ready to go, which she had been doing since she got there

Teyilia smiled when the screen showed that message, and it was just in time too, Teyla perfered a more natural look when on missions, which was whatever she had on when she woke up, but that didn't matter, by the time Logan came back it was time to lift off and head to Washington.
Getting into the seat next to Logan Teyilia checked her weapons, making sure she had everything, once the Jet was in the air a few minutes later She went and stowed the ammo box, then sat down in the seat next to Gambit, closing her eyes she tried to think of the last place Storm had radioed from, she had a fairly good idea of the warehouse area where the Professor had aimed them for the odd... happenings.
Scion grinned seeing the black bird feeling his heart starting to race, he was actually going on a mission, he took a deep breath before climbing the ramp into the x-jet, he had seen the x-jet before in lessons but this time was no lesson he decided to get out of the way of Logan before he upset someone and forced scion to stay behind, so he jumped straight into one of the passenger seats near the front of the jet and buckled in, then remembers that if on missions and without uniform precedure calls to wear an x-belt...
Scion started thinking trying to remember the x-jet lesson putting his paws on his face tracing the lesson in his head and then remembered and unclicked himself from the seat and ran to a draw near the back of the cabin and opened it pulling out a black belt with a metal buckle with the x-symbol on it and fastened it round his waist before cosing the draw again and going back to his claimed seat strapping himself in again, he dares not utter a word as his excitedness would probably give him a nervous high pitched voice which usually happened when caught off gaurd
Once everyone was on board and secured, Logan activated the VTOL and lifted out of the hangar. He then pointed the nose towards Breakstone Lake and activated the cloak. Over the lake, he picked up speed and altitude, then took a heading towards Washington DC. Given the speeds the Blackbird was capable of, they'd be there in ten to fifteen minutes.
Carfully getting her ballence, Spero stood up and set her bags on the chair she had been sitting on. She took off her cloak revealing a less then modest undergarmets, but quickly pulled out another cloak from one of the bags. Then she opened her other bag, pulled out a small case and set it on the floor. Next out came a hand gun holster with room for the four flame resistant, plastic handguns and four extra cartridges of ammo. Next she pulled out a knife holder and 3 metal knifes, and fixed it to her thigh. Lastly she pulled out a small but imposing looking machine gun and 2 extra cartridges of ammo. "Well, I am ready." She takes her seat again putting the two, now empty bags under her seat and takeing the case on her lap.
Teyilia kept a close eye on the readouts, she'd done a bit of work to the Jets main database computer, mostly adding three more data-drives for the main power systems, hopefully they would work the way they were supposed to, thankfully Scion was either lost in a daydream because of being on the mission, or he was thinking of something else.
Soon the Jet was at a good altitude and was going at a good speed, Teyilia moved back to her seat and felt a few G-Forces pulling at her as she moved, she went over to a new console next the co-pilots station, setting the heels of her hands on the dashboard she used her fingers to turn the twin dails at the same time just enough to amke the G-Forces no longer as strong. and in doing so she made the Jet a bit lighter then normal.
Just about fifteen minutes after they lifted off, Logan started bring the jet down. "Get y'r crap t'gether, kiddies. We're landin' this beast and takin' it t' th' streets. Time t' earn our pay."
He turns to Teyilia, with a look of fierce support. "Just confirmed that th' car Chuck arranged f'r us is waitin'. It's 'bout a five minute drive t' the warehouse district where 'Ro was at last contact. Y'r in command. Time t' start takin' charge."
"Wonderful" Teyilia said in mock dispair, then she smiled and said, "Land this bird, and lets get going" she stood up and went to the crate at the back, typing in a reather odd looking codex into the handle, she opened the crate and took out a small belt of six Adamantium Daggers and put it on, she took out her 9mm pistol from its holder on her left hip and put it in the crate, ashe had her daggers and P-90 SLA along with four extra clips.
within a few minutes the Jet landed at the space reserved for them, a good sized SUV was waiting for them, seeing the SUV Teyilia said, "Not exactly my perfered car but it'll do for the mission". She hit the ramp control and the ramp lowered down, she headed out first and went to the soldier waiting. going over to him she was handed the keys to the SUV, the soldier then got into a Jeep and drove off, "OK guys lets go!" she called up into the Jet as she headed for the car.
Scion felt the touch down and lisened carefully waiting for orders, he unfastened his seatbelt and followed Tey outside to the SUV and jumped in the back fastening his seat belt there
Spero followed Logan out of the Blackbird, still carrieing her case. Then, just as she was about to take her first step off the jet, she gasped and ran back to her bags, and grabbed five small metal marbles and ran back without a word to anyone about what she got or why she went back.
