Shawn had taken a step forward when Tatiana had appeared and delivered unto Rose Marty a hearty smack across her face. He grew rather angry as her swift movement, but was replaced with confusion upon seeing Rose Mary's reaction.

The next few actions happened so fast he almost didn't catch them. Rosemary, wings and all, took Tatiana back to the school, leaving himself, Heidi, and Chrys by themselves.

"Well." Shawn looked around. It was probably a bad idea to abandon that lod. "Guess we'd better start making our way back. That robot guy seemed like he was in a rush."

Shawn walked back. It took longer than he would have liked, being on foot and all, but he didn't want to run back and be tired during the briefing.

[i]"children. Please meet us down stairs, in the briefing room."[/i] Charles and Emma relayed a singular message to the young mutants.

Hearing the message, Shawn didn't bother going up to the professor's study, and went through the super cool secret elevator to the lower levels. He loved going through the x-men halls. It always made him feel important.

The briefing room was near the infirmary, and was where Charles, Emma, Booker, and all the other were waiting for the youngsters.

"Now that everyone is here," Charles smiled to his students on their way in. "You have all been chosen for rather specific reasons that you will fully understand at a later date. This is Nathan Summers, Wade Wilson, and laura Kinney. They will be in charge of this mission, so treat them as you would me."

Charles rolled back so Nathan could step up. He stood at attention, his hands rested at the small of his back.

His single functioning eye landed on each of the young mutants, each look helping him remember the basics about each of them.

"I am Nathan Summers, but you can call me Cable. As Chrys observes earlier, we are not from here. Specifically, this time period. We have physically traveled back in time to stop the end of natural mutants."

"We're going to murder some people so they can't play god with the x-gene." Wade, spinning slowly in one of the swivel chair, cut right to the chase, disgruntling Cable.

Laura still said nothing, but looked just as displeased with Wade as Cable did.

Shawn was rather shocked. They couldn't honestly be expecting a group of teenagers to actually murder people, right? Even if this time traveling trio were the ones doing the murdering, the guilt of assisting with murder would stay with shawn for a long time.

"Is there any way we can do this without killing anyone?" Shawn asked, rather nervous about the whole thing.

"We wouldn't be here if there was." Cable gave a grim answer, simple and leaving little to the imagination. "We don't need you all for that. Your job is to help us get into the facility that our targets will be at. As soon as we're close enough, you will be sent back here, and Wade, Laura, and myself will travel back to our own time period to see the results."

"Any more questions?"
