*Assembly*
The next day comes both too soon for some and not soon enough for others. By 10 AM everybody is gathered in the large auditorium as Professor Summers and the other teachers converse on stage for a few moments. You look around and are struck by the sheer number of students in the school.
As Summers approaches the podium, the crowd slowly and eventually quiets down, and he begins speaking.
"I'm sure you all know what happened yesterday, or at least you've heard rumours. Well right now, I'm going to set the record straight with the facts. From what we've managed to uncover, yesterday afternoon a child cyborg, probably part mutant, attacked the front doors of the school, attempting to gain access to and make off with Professor Xavier. We have come to suspect that this was a ruse to keep everyone busy while the real plan went off. Professors Xavier and Grey, along with most of our Psychicly empowered students, were incapacitated by a second mutant, and files were stolen from our main computer - Whether by this second mutant or someone else is currently Unknown."
He pauses and looks back at Storm for a moment, then returns to speaking.
"Later in the evening a second attack was launched, by two known Mutants - Quicksilver and Nightcrawler. Their stated goal was to kidnap one of our students for unknown reasons. Thanks to quick thinking, quicker reactions, and a bit of skill, they were driven off. Since, we've discovered a few bits of information here and there. I've called in some old friends who will be helping us track down those responsible and stop them. In the meantime, we'll have only a few teachers, so classes will be merged, and I want you all to stay on the grounds, and don't go anywhere alone. We don't know when or if these guys will return, but we're taking every precaution we can to keep you safe." Once he's finished, he steps aside for Ororo Munroe (Storm).
"With most of the psychic's and the backup team out, I've taken the liberty of reopening recruitment for the 'young x-men' initiative. If you'd like to sign up, please stay around after the assembly. Otherwise, you're free to do as you wish, Classes will resume tommorow at the usual time. If your class has been merged with another, there will be a notice on the classroom door telling you where to go."
Professor Summers then returns to the podium one last time
"Finally, I'd like to thank those of you who helped yesterday, both on the lawn and in the danger room. WHEN Professor Xavier wakes up, I've no doubt he'll be proud of how corageous and resourceful his students have been."
With that, the assembly ends and students start trickling out, until there are a couple dozen of you left. Of those some of you know personally - Phase, Pyro, Jubilee, and Shadowcat are present.

Fangor, I need a Stealth check for Spike
Everyone else, Here's your chance to decide whether you want to be in on the offense, or stay at home and get sucked into whatever happens to go down at the school.
.
Keep in mind that you ALL have a lot of potential (The avg student here is around PL5 max), but the lifestyle of an x-man may not suit you.
Also don't be worried, there WILL be storylines for all, regardless of whether you join the X-men or decide to continue with the school.
I'm assuming that Temper and Eric, who are allready members of the Young X-men team, will be sticking around. It'd probably be advisable to keep Alchemist around too, if you can, as it'd be easier to 'guard' him while he's with you.
