"I don't understand what you guys are so worried about!" Blake insisted to her friends as they all sat and waited to board their flight to San Juan.
"This is gonna happen every year with you isn't it..." Tabitha sighed loudly without looking over at her. Blake narrowed her eyes for a minutes before speaking again.
"Ok If I say planes give me a little anxiety will that satisfy you all?" She responded getting several 'no's' from the crowd. She rolled her eyes for what felt like the thousandth time that day and pulled out her phone texting a member of her friend circle who was not in the immediate vasicinity.
"Who're you texting?" Bryce asked her as he stared across the room.
"Same person Trin is... same person you're looking at!" She commented without looking up. Several people looked from Blake to Bryce and to where the latter's gaze fell.
Max was seated across the room on the ground between the legs of his boyfriend Troy. Troy was holding onto the younger as he was telling his friends a story causing most of them to laugh and Max to emit small giggles here and there.
"What's with the stone cold stare Bryce?" Ruby asked her boyfriend curiously.
"I've heard a few things about Troy... things that aren't very nice..." He stated looking over at River and the girl he was sitting with. At first glance she appeared to be just your average everyday highschool student but upon closer inspection anyone who went to the Xavier Institute would know immediately who she was.
Her Violet eyes and slightly elfin ears started a story that the strange watch on her wrist finished. It was Raina Martin wearing a device that disguised her physical appearance. Kurt Wagner was wearing a similiar watch that made him appear rather normal by comparision to his usual blue self.

Logan was staring with narrowed eyes into a crowd of people as he spotted a commotion beginning. He had been observing on of his students as she was using her 'Gifts' to cause trouble for the past couple hours. The flight that the Institute students and staff were taking from the Atlanta to San Juan airports had been delayed by almost four hours and his students were starting to get restless.
The student in question was a certain shapeshifting sophomore who was lifting peoples wallets and then dropping them onto and into peoples luggage just for the sake of instigation.
When he saw her going in for her fourth victim he called to her with a stern look.
"Sekler!" He barked making a old woman turn to look at him before she vanished flat out, only to be replaced by a bug that was scurrying toward the elder mutant. After a moment of crowd dodging the bug ran into a gap between a pole and a wall returning as a blonde headed teenage girl.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked her as she approached him with a smirk.
"Just messin' around... nobody's gotten hurt... no fires, no torches and pitchforks!" She replied with a chuckle. A beat later and they both heard the sound of shouting and fists flying. He stared hard at the crowd, while she looked on with wide eyes.
"Ok so a couple of guys are fighting..." She stated before the crowd all gazed up at a the light above them, the bulb litterally bursting, "Ok and a light bulb exploded but that last part isn't my fault..." She pointed out. The Announcement over the PA that the 406 flight to San Juan was now boarding halted any point Logan would have made in the moment before he gave a low growl and led the student back to the group.

As various students were shuffling into the shuttles that would take them to their hotel, Shylow and Layla had begun a heated argument while Trinity and Mari dragged Blake who was barely on her feet over to a bench nearby.
"Couldn't you have gone a little easy on her Shy?" Layla asked peaking over at her Ex with worried eyes.
"Layla I was just taking precautionary measures... I don't think I went that far overboard!" Shylow replied calmly.
"Precautionary measures against what?" Mari piped up from where her friend was wallowing in a drunken like stupor on the bench.
"You guys should have seen her last year... she had a break down on the plane to Honolulu... It was like-" Bobby began before he was abruptly interrupted by Ruby.
"It's called a 'Moment of Clarity', It's like becoming self-aware while on a plane or Cruise Ship or in a Submarine... They're actually really common!" Ruby told them getting a few confused looks, "Korey and my Brother Jalon get them really bad!" She added firmly. A few people nodded before Layla, Trinity and Mari turned back to look at their psychic friend.
"Yeah but you didn't have to almost kill her Shy!" Trinity pointed out with a small glare. Shylow gritted his teeth before replying.
"You don't even care about this Trinity... you still just mad about me breaking up with Max!" He barked at her flourishing his hand with his eye in the direction of his Ex and the former's new boyfriend. Within Milliseconds of the hand motion Troy went from standing beside Max to flat on the ground as if someone had tripped him off of his feet.
Max went wide-eyed blushing as he helped his new partner to his feet. They both turned and gave Shylow a death glare that made him gulp.
"Seriously?" Max called over making Shylow stammer in response.
"Max, Troy I'm sorry but I swear that was an accident!" Shylow yelled back seeing Max roll his eyes and Troy scowl before he grabbed Max by the shoulders with one arm and leading him away from the crowd and onto a shuttle.

Phoebe and Kitty each had an arm around their friend who was still in a strange stupor from Shylow's mind block. They had made it to their room at the hotel and were about to open the door when they discovered that the other girl really couldn't even stand on her own yet.
"Um... just lean her against the wall... or something..." Phoebe suggested with furrowed brows while she struggled to get the key card from her pocket.
Kitty nodded and pushed her friend gently over to the wall where she leaned staring off into space. As the two girls were getting the door propped open they failed to see their friend sliding down the wall and face planting into the ground.
"Well shit!" Phoebe yelped as they hoisted her off the ground and pulled her into the room.
"I-I really just want to be in the bath tub..." Blake stammered out. The two other girls gave her a puzzled look before Kitty shrugged.
"Should we like throw some pillows in there with her?" Kitty asked the thermo-mutant who looked at each of the beds in the room.
"How many are on each bed?" She replied.
"Four" Kitty answered, "I only need two though... what about you?" She added.
"Two is fine for me... toss the rest in the tub and we'll just leave her in there for now!" Phoebe told the other her plan as she waited for her phaser friend to come back, "Can you just phase her through the wall of the tub... I don't want to have to throw her in there" She asked the valley girl when they resumed dragging Blake toward the bathroom. Kitty nodded and concentrated before pushing her friend into the tub and proceeding to help her get comfy on her side.
About an hour passed before the two girls were fully unpacked. They were just about to go check on Blake when they heard the door start to open.
"She still out of her damn mind?" Wolverine asked as he entered the girls room.
"Last time we checked on her yeah!" Phoebe responded as she saw him peer around the room in confusion. He started to say the word 'Where' when the two girls pointed to the bathroom.
The students and their teacher all entered the bathroom quietly noticing that Blake had begun making strange gurgling noises.
"What the FUCK is wrong with her?" Phoebe asked her friends father who shook his head.
"No idea" He said calmly.
"Is she going to die?" Kitty asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Probably not... You need anything Kid?" He asked his daughter who gurgled a couple more times before speaking.
"Just leave me alone" She groaned softly.
"Want us to turn on Pandora or something on your cell?" Phoebe asked her getting a slow nod in response, "Veronicas Station ok?" She questioned again to which Blake groaned out.
"Well kay let us know if you need anything!" Kitty announced before the three others left the ferral girl to her own devices.
