S.H.I.E.L.D. had "kindly" gotten her professors to allow her to make up labs whenever possible, meaning that she had spent all of yesterday working. While she had entered college with plenty of credit, she didn't have enough of the labs to just skip a bachelor's degree and go straight to the doctorate. Instead, she essentially had four high level labs for chemical and molecular science to complete each semester. Last semester had been considerably easier, given that she was mostly acting as a liaison between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men. 

	This semester had been hell so far. Her foot hardly left the accelerator as she took [url=https://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2007/12/31/01/10/1967_chevrolet_impala-pic-33825.jpeg]her father's impala[/url] all the way from New York City to Upstate New York. She was on her second energy drink of the day, with her morning thus far consisting of completing lab reports [i]and[/i] paperwork for S.H.I.E.L.D. about progress made on the serum Beast was developing. There were moments in her drive where she was tempted to shut her eyes for a moment and just relax. It felt like it had been ages since she'd gotten to just kick back, eat some chips, and play [i]Papers, please[/i] on her computer. 

	She finished off the energy drink as she pulled up to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, tossing the can aside in the seat and grabbing another can of Monster. Cracking it open, she got her things out of the car, having parked it outside, before she proceeded to head in. Guin gave a friendly wave to the younger kids at the school, running off for their morning classes. She figured that she'd find Beast in his lab as always and she knocked on the door to announce herself, before heading inside. 

	[color=#cc33ff]"I couldn't find any of the articles you wanted at NYU's library,"[/color] Guin said, once she had gotten Beast's attention. [color=#cc33ff]"I've texted Dad about it, he might be able to pull some strings to find them but...How's it coming? Any luck figuring out how to stop this thing yet?"[/color] She doubted there was, since these things took time, but she was hopeful. The chemicals and specimens that the Brotherhood had stolen were dangerous. She had only just found out about Magneto's plan this morning, shortly after Professor X and Beast had. Beast had messaged her asking if she could find some specific journal articles that might help him, but they all were missing. There weren't any electronic copies that she could tell and the physicals weren't there either.
