"I vhas vhondering if you'd like to maybe-" Kurt looked uneasy, he'd never
done this before, he was nervous, the fur on his palms was sticking from
the sweat. His tail lashed from side to side a moment, pausing to try and
find the right words. Swallowing, he looked back up at the expectant,
ebony haired girl, with a nervous chuckle he tried again. "If you'd like
to go see a-"
Leo's expression was somewhat wide eyed, she seemed to get the gist of the question being asked, though she didn't anticipate too much too soon. Instead, she waited with a patient expression, watching Kurt fumble over his words. Finally, he seemed to have it cracked down. "Do you want to go see a mo-"
::Kurt, contact the others, get them down to the school gymnasium, cerebro's picked up mutant activity and high levels of distress. Get down there with the others and find out what's going on:: Kurt's face fell, and he dropped his hands, his tail lashing forward, snatching around Leo's middle, much to her surprise, pulling her right up against him. He didn't think of the predicament, nor her reaction as her eyes lit up, looking at him, swinging her arms about his neck, perhaps she thought it was going to take the initiative and just kiss her.
Oh how wrong she was. In an explosion of smoke and lingering sulphur, he ported from the room all together with the psion in tow. Leo had never experienced anything quite like it. Stunned, one minute they were in Kurt's room, the next, they were stood on the steps of Bayville high. The other's already out there.
Jean, Scott and Kitty stood there, though there were two others aside them, a girl looking as though she'd rather be dead than be stood there with them, and a guy holding a skateboard. To her dismay, they were clad in what appeared to be a kind of uniform, similar to Kurt, but not quite. She barely recognised Scott or Jean.
For a moment, Leo stood there stunned, Kurt released her with an apologetic look, only to move hastily to stand aside the others and their glistening uniforms. Leo felt somewhat like an amateur, although not to mention somewhat confused, she raised her brows. "What's-" She started, pushing a few locks from her pale face, Kurt seemed to be trying his damnedest not to look at her, before Scott cut her off. "No time, c'mon." She could do nothing but follow them as the team pushed through the doors.Scott first, followed by Jean, the Gothic looking Rogue , Kurt and Spike, Kitty pausing a moment, looking toward Leo with an urgent look, before grabbing her by the arm, dragging herself and Leo through the door. That was still an awkward sensation. She jerked her body away, shaking some, Kitty shot her a confused look. To her, the phasing was a second nature.
There was no time to question Leo's actions, she simply ran ahead to catch up with the others, shouting something behind her. "Like, get a move on, We need all we can get in there, apparently." She was judging from the shouting and falling debris echoing the halls from the gym. Leo picked up her pace, her heart racing. Weren't you supposed to leave this sort of thing to the police? Or armed forces? Rather than a bunch of kids in spandex?
She had no choice but to follow. She either left, and not only looked like a coward, but jeopardised the lives of other people and her place with Xavier. To say she was a little nervous was a serious understatement as pushed open the gym doors. She didn't get them half open, before she was knocked back hard on her feet, an explosion rocking the gymnasium, cries of "SPYKE!!" flooded the gym and hall. Leo rolled onto her side, to be met with the unconscious body of Evan. She gasped. She didn't know him by name only face.
A head peered around the doorway.White bangs, dark hair. "Evan! Ah you ahlraght? Oh mah gawd." The southern belle rushed fourth, before the orderly tone of Scott.AKA Cyclops, rang through the halls. "Leave him, Rogue! He'll be fine, he's just had a bump. Get back in here, we need the whole team!" Rogue looked up, locking eyes with Leo before she shook her head, stooping to help Leo to her feet. "You heard the boss.C'mon." Leo was swept off her feet and dragged through the doors, barely managing to protest as Rogue continued. "Yea'h part o' the team now, no tahme like theh present." All Leo could think was 'help' as she and the gloved Rogue burst through the doors. Opening them first of course.
The sight that beheld her made her want to scream. In fact, clutching tightly onto Rogue was all she could do not to run out those doors screaming. A giant, metal bird was wedged through the upper part of the opposite wall, where the windows ought to be. It was flailing and scoring deep, charred holes through the waxed floor, the lines painted upon the floor nothing more than a memory. Even the bleachers were a ruin, lights shattered, glass and metal showered the floor, the kids, not much older than she were scattered about the gym. Jean levitated some above the ground, hauling Scott with her either side of the giant bird. The uproar was incredible, every screech the giant metal bird gave, made her wince inside, her eyes growing brighter, the Bird swung its huge head around, before fixing its ruby quartz eyes upon the ebony haired child.
