Angela's Jaguar accelerated sharply as she zoomed past a red sports car.
'Hm.That looks familiar.Uh oh!'
Instinctively, she slowed down to get a better look at the car's driver, then sped up again, ducking low in her seat.
Toad looked at her, "What is it?"
"That was Scott with some other guy that I don't know!"
"Scott? Who's he?"
"A teacher at my school! One of those who warned me against your team."
He twisted in his chair, "That was Cyclops and Wolverine! This is bad.I'm afraid that we'll have to put off the sightseeing for a while. Can you go back to the school?"
"Sure, whatever."
He hissed something.
"What was that?"
"I just hope that they didn't see you."
'Yeah, me too.' She thought. Tires squealing, she parked in the nearest spot and got out. Angela looked over her shoulder, and Toad was gone. Quickly, she phased into her dorm-room.
"Oh, hey, Angela! The prof wants to see ya."
Angela stiffened, "Did he say why?"
Kitty shrugged and went back to her magazine.
Her stomach was in turmoil as she made her way, numbly to the office. She knocked lightly, hoping against hope that he wasn't there. Unfortunately, the door was opened almost before she was done knocking. Angela looked up at a dark-haired man with sideburns and a leather jacket standing in her way, "Um, excuse me."
He stepped aside and followed her in, shutting the door.
The hair on the back of her neck prickled apprehensively, "Hi Professor. Kitty said you wanted to see me."
The Professor looked up at her gravely, "Yes. I'm afraid we have a rather important matter to discuss."
Angela shuffled her feet and stood up stiffly, "What matter would that be, Professor?"
"It has come to my attention that you have been associating with some rather unsavory characters."
'Play innocent. He can't prove anything.'
"Like who?"
The man behind her growled, "Don't play dumb with me kid. I can tell you know what he's talking about."
She dropped her innocent facade for a moment to glare at him, "And how would you know anything about this? How would any of you know about this? Were you following me?"
"Not that it really matters but, no. You weren't followed."
Angela clenched her fists. 'How dare they accuse me of anything!'
The man saw her clenched fists and smirked, "Don't try anything. You'd never get past me, but, just in case, I've called up the team so we can.'ensure' your safety."
Angela's fuming escalated into a full blown rage, and she felt herself coming closer to the breaking point.
Then, almost on cue, Scott, Jean, Ororo, Kitty, Rogue, Bobby, Kurt, and a few others entered.
