"Aaaachoo! Achoo! Uhhhh..." came a muffled moan from behind the door.
Ororo shook her head before she opened the door. Jamie sounded worse today than he did the previous one before. She didn't know how much more either of them could take of this late season flu. Between the new arrivals, Logan's paranoia, and taking care of a sick boy who split apart every time he sneezed...she was beginning to become stretched thin. But that was no matter, she enjoyed these visits with him. He was the youngest of their charges so naturally everyone was worried about him, though some wouldn't admit it, *coughLogancough*, so she took it upon herself to make sure he would recover soon. Though Hank and the Professor had first argued with her about leaving Jamie in his room she had convinced them both that he would recover faster if he was in familiar surroundings.
With a warm smile she made her way over to the small nightstand beside the bed to set the tray she was carrying down. The chair, she had brought up here just a few days ago, was still settled closest to the head of the bed when she sat down. With a gentle hand she peeled back the covers over the boys head getting a better look at just how bad he really was.
"Good afternoon Mr. Madrox. Feeling any better today?"
"If I..achoo!...say no." came the thoroughly miserable reply. "Am I ever going to get better?"
She smiled soflty while helping him sit up. The pillows behind him never seemed to move, and that had always amazed Storm. No matter how many times his clones would catapult not only themselves but also the 'real' Jamie out of bed the pillows always managed to remain firm. That or they were glued to the bed...something she wouldn't put past the young boy to do or more to the point on of the other students. Once she was satisfied he wouldnt fall she turned to grab the bowl of soup she'd brought with her.
"Ugh, do I have to eat anything right now?"
"Yes Jamie. You have not eaten since yesterday afternoon. You need this to get your strength back. Come now, you will like this. It is your favorite."
He smiled slightly before producing two more, thankfully clone free, rounds of sneezing.

*Will all students and guests assemble into the dinning hall.* Xavier's mental call whispered into everyone's minds, making sure to send Ororo and Jamie a link into his mind. He didn't want either to miss the meeting and found it best to keep Jamie in bed with her at his side. He had been waiting for the students to return with some axiety. To the point he was worried about what to tell them and what to keep from them. What he was sure to tell them was that they had some new guests. But whether he'd tell them they were from another dimesion...that was another story. He sighed heavily before covering his features with a neutral face.
One by one the students filed into the dinning room, each taking a seat around the large wooden table. *Minus the knives. I must remember to talk to Leona about those.* He made sure that those who had previous knowledge of the Pack had kept quite. He wanted this to be as smooth as possible. Then again, how was explaining a military squad from another dimension going to be smooth?
"What's up Professor?" Bobby called out when it was apparent everyone had arrived, and were settled. It was surprising but even Magneto had shown up.
He sent a knowing smirk towards Xavier as he took a stance aginst the wall. *I wouldn't miss this for the world Charles. How are you going to explain this one my old friend?*
He chose to ignore Erik's obvious taunt, instead opting to start this hastily planned meeting.
"What I am about to reveal to you might come as a shock to some present, but I think it best to help you try and understand before meeting our new guests." He gave them a reassuring smile before he continued. "Sometime during the late evening hours a dimensional tear between an alertnate future reality and our own transported a ship and its crew into our time. As impossible as this sounds I assure you that it is very much true. I was contacted by their leader, Lt. Leona Wolfe, through a telepathic distress call. She claimed that they had been pulled into a wormhole and deposited just above the Earth's atmosphere. She was lost and very confused. A team including myself, Logan, Ororo, Scott and Jean went to meet them and found them a strange lot indeed."
"Leona agreed to follow us back to the mansion so we could talk more openly about their current situation. Needless to say she didn't trust us fully and needless to say 'we' were having doubts as well. Her crew were all exaughsted so they went straight to bed but she stayed up and explained to her best knowledge what had happened and where they came from. They are part of a worldwide military group known as S.I.C.O.N in the year 2083, where their Earth is being threathened by ruthless alien invasion. They are far more technologically advanced than we are and have devised weapons and interplanetary space travel in order to help fight the war between this alien threat and try to save humanity."
Some on snorted in laughter, it was Pietro. "So let me get this straight Professor. You're saying that a bunch of soldiers from the furture somehow slipped between dimensions and ended up here in Bayville? Gee, sounds like something outta a cheesey sci-fi movie."
There was a murmur of agreement but Xavier merely nodded his head. "Yes, young Maximoff, it does sound rather far fetched but it is the truth. During the conversation between Leona and the other teachers she projected what her future was like. We all seen thier enemies and seen what S.I.C.O.N was. It was by far the most bewildering and frightening experience I've had in many years. She allowed me to see inside her mind aswell so I could know for sure that it was the truth. And furthermore, it is astounding that somewhere during their trip through the wormhole and into our dimensions they have developed mutant abilities. Dr. McCoy has run numerous test on these individuals and it has been found they do carry the X-gene. That is why I have offered them a place in the Institute. I believe we can learn alot from each other and it will give us ample time to try and help them return to their own time."
"So...so we have time travlers in the mansion?" It was Jubilation that spoke up that time. Her eyes were as huge as saucers with unbridled excitment.
"Yes, in essence we do Jubilee."
"Oh, like, wow! Do we, like, get to meet them?" Kitty chimmed in, she to giddy with excitment.
"Of course." He nodded his head towards the hallway doors. As on cue, one by one the new 'guests' entered the room in silence; one being supported slightly. Charles annouced them as they came to a stand at-ease behind him. (at-ease consists of the soldier to stand at a simpler attention with their hands locked behind their backs, eyes straight forward.)
"Lt. Leona Wolfe, leader of The Wolfe Pack squadron." The raven-haired female the students had seen going into the mansion from the gardens nodded her head. They noted that she had changed her shirt from earlier.
"Their Sergeant, Katlyn CrazyMoon." The one that had been supported tilted her head to the side causing her blonde locks to fall over her shoulders.
"Corporal Brandon Major." The large man that had supported the Sergeant stood taller at the call of his name but eased back quickly.
"Corporal Charlamnge Jackson, their medic." The Afrian-American woman smiled brightly.
"Private Moulay Mousaaid." What seemed to be a walking hulk, acknowleged his name.
"And Private Tagawa Hadaka." The Asian looking male nodded quickly.
