We watched as the Blackbird landed behind a nearby hill, soon followed by the Quinjet. Slowly the superheroes walked towards our sad excuse for a base. We all held our breath.

"We are in sooo much trouble." Kitty muttered, chewing on a strand of her hair nervously.

"Do yah think thay're gonna let Cyclops fry us, or just give us detentions until we graduate?" Rogue mused, looking paler than usual.

"I'm going to die a virgin." Spiderman said under his breath, making me give him a weird look.

"Stay tough guys, we're okay." I said in a voice I hoped inspired courage. I have no idea if it worked. I totally suck as 'team captain'.

I stepped forward as the adults approached us, as if that way I could take the worst of them instead of my friends. They stopped in front of us.

"Um," I cleared my throat. "Glad to see you guys found the place okay."

"The directions you sent were very helpful. Now," Cyclops sounded eerily calm. "Beast, take the students back to the school. We'll send a message as soon as we have a plan of action."

My mouth dropped. "No!"

We all began speaking at once. Yelling over each other, ignoring what pretty much everyone else was saying. The adults tried to remain calm, at first, but then they were yelling just as much as we were.

And then a truly calm, deep voice said.

"I think that's enough." Captain America said.

The weird thing was, we listened to him.

I may be a Canadian, so I don't have the same kind of attachment to the Cap as the others do, but I still really respect him. How could you not? Plus he's known my dad since the war.

"Sir, with the men at the base, you guys would be out numbered by at least eighty to one." I said in my most mature voice. "We can help."

"We understand your commitment, but we don't want to put you in harms way." Cap told me.

"And we appreciate your concern. But we're going to save them." I said seriously. "We're just going to run away again, and go out on our own if you try to send us back. By accepting us, at least you'll be able to give us some protection and guidance when we go in."

"Well, now we know she's Wolverine's daughter." Ironman muttered in an electronic voice. "No one else can be this much of a pain in the ass."

"I'm taking that as a compliment." I replied, with a tiny smile. "Now are you going to let us help, or are we going to have to make a run for it?"

I held out my hand. Scott made a face and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Cap grasped my hand.

His calm, but powerful blue eyes held mine. "You will do everything you are told. If things get too dangerous, you and your friends will get out and to safety immediately. Is that clear?"

I nodded, and Cap shook my hand.

"Glad to have you aboard, soldier."
