[color=Olive]"Charmed, Richard Laine. Though I must say 'Charming' fits you far better dear."[/color] Turning on his heels it was no longer the brother of Ayita that gazed at the manor, but the Adder. His slitted eyes stormy with pure rage as he held a hand to his head and called out mentally with every ounce of thought. [color=Olive]"Xavier I have three women here claiming their from the future and there is to be an attack on the Mansion. They are Carolina Reed, Thalia Maehers, and Folly. A future version of Peitro is supposed to be within the manor already."[/color] Continuing he also spoke aloud as he gestured the others to follow him as he moved towards the Manor. His stride brisked as he rolled up the cuffs of his sleeves, though not to show off the muscular arms nor the fact he was fit. The Adder was all business and dolling out commands in a assured voice. There were lives on the line and his sister's and Guin's chief among them. If the Professor wanted to contradict him the man could go right ahead, but until he heard otherwise his duty was to secure the students and the let the school rot. Getting them out in time however was debatable. So the first to go would be the youngest and weakest. Those that could not fight or cause liabilities. [color=Olive]"Cassandra try to find and get in contact with SHIELD through a secure line. Go directly to Fury and speak to no one but him and make sure it's damn well him. Also, alert Guin and get her on the computers stat. Connect everyone with wires, I don't give a damn with we have Xavier or not. We are not going to go blind just because we lose him. Marygold, you know the students better than I do still. Sort out who can fight and who is our weakest link. I want the weakest ready to leave for a secure location in fifteen minutes. I don't care if their ancestral crown jewels are in their rooms. Items can be replaced lives cannot."[/color] He growled with a venomous fever. [color=Olive]"Older-Ghost-brat,"[/color] He jerked a curling fore finger at Carolina. [color=Olive]"Make yourselve useful and fill me in on exactly what happened. Exactly. If you don't know, get moving. Green-brat, take Folly with you and go. Someone find me both speedsters, Ayita, and Allison. And I want Beast, Wolverine and every teacher on the double. If the Professor tells you otherwise follow his orders, but be vigilant and ready for an attack from any possible angle. Even within."[/color] He gave all three time travelers and piercing look. One hand on the door to inside. [color=Olive]"If you mean to trick us, or screw us over..."[/color] Richard growled with darkening eyes. [color=Olive]"You will regret before I am done with you."[/color] Opening the door for the group of ladies, he let them proceed him. Reaching out with his thoughts again he hoped to reach the Professor. [color=Olive=]"Contradict me if you wish, but you hired me for a damn reason and I'm going to protect these brats."[/color] [hr][hr][h1][b][i][center][color=ForestGreen]Ayita Dyrkin[/color][/center][/i][/b][/h1] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6f/4e/28/6f4e287ab9b83b07a3d03c85f6cd82ed--bridget-regan.jpg[/img] [/center] [hr] [center] [b][color=ForestGreen]Location[/color][/b] The Institute {"Friend or Foe?"}[/center] [hr][hr] Ayita trailed behind the stranger and Nina as they entered the Proffessor's office/study/whatever it was humans called it. It was a room, a den for books and paper and things she did not really care about most of the time. Her eyes darting over every detail of the new environment as she moved to lean against a wall. Crossing her scarred arms over her small chest. Old wounds that looked like they were from claws, teeth or even knives littered her arms. A few fresh scraps and cuts merely a day old and some older, showed as well. Ayita had revealed herself to be a fighter and one who was still alive. Flicking her hair to one side she revealed the nicked ear where a bow hunter had shot her. A subtle but clear statement of 'dangerous'. Setting her feet in a balanced poise, Ayita appeared both relax and ready to move in an instant. Internally Ayita felt edgy. Nervous. Three strangers had walked up towards her brother, Cassandra, and Marygold. Strangers rarely boded well from her experience. Three coming one way and this stranger wandering about the Mansion? It was a situation she did not care for. Ayita had a desire to know exactly who was on her territory at any point in time and the mansion was her territory. A paranoia her brother had only encouraged as the siblings worked around the ten years gap. Figuring out and piecing their lives together again. It wasn't complete, she still would try to rip him from head to toe and Richard would still bare his teeth and snarl anytime she did anything overly dangerous or disappear for days. The first time he had done that, the Adder had tracked her down and they had nearly beat each other to death. Richard had never lashed out before or since. Taking her temper and rage with a offered shoulder for anything she dished out. She in turn had not ranged so far nor for longer than sunrise to sunset. Or the same time under the moon. Giving a nod to the Professor she tilted her head, reaching out with her psychic thought to Nina and Xavier and hoping it would reach the woman. [color=ForestGreen]"I will stay and make sure there is no trouble."[/color] There was not questioning or wavering in that thought. It was fact. Ayita had said she was staying and so she would unless persuaded other wise. That this man knew the Professor meant nothing to the wild woman. Adding on a second spear of thought to the Professor Ayita sent what she had seen of the trio of strange women.
