"I see, mayb I should ask Scott to give you a tour then he is back, there are some things here that can be rather dangerous then you run into them without the proper knowledge.

You mean the tall gee... er... guy or the one with the funky red glasses? They both just pulled up in a sweet looking ride about five minutes ago.

Brian motions with his head towards where he assumes the front of the building is.

"Scott has returned? Thank you Brian, let's see what was going on."

Xavier and Shadow just reach the top of the stairs to see the arguement in the entrance hall in all it's glory.

"Who knows about your abilities but I sure question your self control."

Scott looks at the flames dancing across Brandon.

"I'm sure they teach a lot more of that in martial arts. If you've truly been around Iron Fist you should have watched him."

The Professor shouts over the arguement from his position above and the three notice him and Brian.

"Enough of this nonsense! I will have none of it in my house. These are my guests Scott and of all my students I would have expected better behavior from you.

He rolls to a small lift on the side to get down to you and sounds a lot more friendly after his initial shout.

"Sorry Scott. I have been worried about you, you should not even be walking around yet. And I see you brought a guest of your own."

He turns towards Jake.

"Welcome, I am very sorry you had such a rough entrance.
Now how about we just get a cup of tea and explain what is going on here. I am quite curious what is going on.

Again he turnes towards Scott and motions to Brian.

"And I'm sure you would like some information about this too. This is Brian and as I see you allready met Brandon."

driving aimlessly but damn fast away from Rogue

Jake is just about to answer something then a huge mointain of something blockes the street.
Hitting the breaks Shar can see it is actually a man, surly a mutant. He must weigh more than the car she is in and to her (and everyone elses) disgust that huge walking mountain of fat is only wearing a spandex body suit.
You manage to drive sideways and squeeze bettween him and the building toi the right.
Somehow you think you would have better chances to move that. The cars reaerview mirrors are lost as one side scratches along a wall, while the other rubs against the giant leg.
The battered car makes it clear and you accelerate again. The Blob slowly turns around with an angry expression and tries to run after you. That of course is totaly useless...

Jake looks wide eyed at him and holds on for dear life as you drive.

"Oh my god what is that? It can just get too wyrd you know."

More than a little edge of panick rings from his voice.

Shar uses her senses to glance behind her, both at the man mountain fading in the distance and at Mystique, then at Frank.

"I don't get what's going on either, Frank. Charles couldn't have known these people were after you too. Your powers are so unique, Frank. I've never seen anything like them. Maybe that's why they are trying so hard to get you." She pushes a stray strand of hair from her face as she cruises down the street.

"I think I made a mistake when I took Mystique too," she admits. "She may be ruthless and well, evil for lack of a better word, but I can imagine what would happen if normal people got a hold of her." She lets out a long sigh.

"I'm really sorry, Frank. I didn't know any of this would happen. If you want to go with that super-girl and that... huge man, I'll let you out here. You can take Mystique with you too since she's obviously with them. But I know enough of Mystique to know that sort of life isn't for you. At least I hope it isn't Frank."

An idea pops into her head, and she scans the glove box with her super vision quickly to see if there is a cell phone in there.

Brian follows along behind the professor, watching the new people with interest.

Again he turnes towards Scott and motions to Brian.

"And I'm sure you would like some information about this too. This is Brian and as I see you allready met Brandon."

I for one would like to know what going on, so why don't you two agree to beat each other senseless after the professor explains everything.

"Who knows about your abilities but I sure question your self control." Scott looks at the flames dancing across Brandon.
"I'm sure they teach a lot more of that in martial arts. If you've truly been around Iron Fist you should have watched him."

Brandon was about to get a mighty retort but . . .

The Professor shouts over the argument from his position above and the three notice him and Brian. "Enough of this nonsense! I will have none of it in my house. These are my guests Scott and of all my students I would have expected better behavior from you.

“Game time, Scott. Good ta meet ya,” Brandon replied to the Professor’s introduction. “And as an aside, I’m not worried about my self-control – I know where I stand. It was you that I was worried about. You seemed ready to fly off the handle, and if that was going to happen I’d rather have it happen against me than anyone else in the house. Happens in football all the time, you just need to channel that aggression.”

“I for one would like to know what going on, so why don't you two agree to beat each other senseless after the professor explains everything.”

“Good to meet ya, Brian,” Brandon replied in kind. He smiled at the comment and added, “I think we can stop the senseless beatings at least until we can get down to helping that people that need it.”

“Professor, I was heading down to Angela’s room . . . do you want me to get her and bring her along, or has she already been told about the meeting,” Brandon asked.

 

[Verbatim]

He turns towards Jake.

"Welcome, I am very sorry you had such a rough entrance.
Now how about we just get a cup of tea and explain what is going on here. I am quite curious what is going on.

Again he turnes towards Scott and motions to Brian.

"And I'm sure you would like some information about this too. This is Brian and as I see you allready met Brandon."

Shaking Mr. Xavier's hand, Jake kept an eye on both Mr. Summers and Brandon.

"It is nice to meet you sir, my grandfather said you might be able to help me, and if my grandfather trusts you, then I know I can also."

Smiling at the offer of tea, Jake wondered how he the wheel chaired man could be so calm in the middle of all the chaos around him.

~Perhaps dealing with gifted people all the time has made him immune to all this...~

"Well, to be honest sir, I'm not much of a tea drinker, but I would love some water.

Falling in behind the others, Jake's eyes roam the hallways as they head towards the "meeting".

~I wonder what my folks will think when they see how nice this place is...~

Brandon listened to Jake and began to fall in line, still waiting on whether the Professor wanted him to get Angela for this tour.

Interlude

The mutant is panting heavily from exhaustion. Running up all these stairs sucked but it was worth the effort. Now he can see all over the city and even to the place there Mystique screwed up.

"It's time Magneto leads us again, she just doesn't cut it."

The words rasp out between his sharp breaths. He takes one look at the locater in his hand and watches the street.

"There you are"

He spotted the car, now it is time for fun.
With a practiced more he opens the seals of the flamethrower tank on his back and moments later thick gusts of flame erupt from the cables on his arms.
He moves his hands like someone forming clay and the flames begin to take shape.

"Have fun my friends."

A few neighbors look up confused as maniacal laughter can be heard loud from the rooftop. But what really draws there attention is burning construct as it spreads it's wings and flys towards its prey.
With another fit out unhealthy sounding laughter Pyro leans on a wall, content to see his creation to it's work.

"Come on lady, even if I don't know who you are I sure don't want to go with those psychos. I mean have you seen the fat guy in the spandex suit?! He even topped the blue women and superman's kid-sister.

He keeps glancing back and suddenly goes silent. Only Shar's supernatural hearing allows her to hear the "oh my god" he whispers under his breath.
Her eyes flash to the rerview mirror but it shines so bright she has to look away. And even now she can feel something very warm above her.
