[color=#ff4c4c][b][sub]Location: Biology Class to Courtyard[/sub][/b][/color][hr][img]http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w458/Shadeflare123/roxy_zpsyecbrda8.png[/img][hr][/center]

Roxy always sort of figured she'd end up being a biologist. It was something she was good at, something she [i]knew.[/i] Hell, it was so ingrained into her that even her [i]powers[/i] were biological; and being in a school full of genetic anomalies gave her plenty of inspiration to boot. So, despite the fact that the teacher was lecturing about something Roxy had taught herself the week before, she still took down his words with a fervent dutifulness that might indicate obsession. Roxy noticed a dull ache in her hand and let out a quiet huff; she didn't exactly have time to take a break. She was the best student in this class, after all, and she would prefer to stay that way. Eventually, the teacher stopped talking and Roxy was free to shake her wrists for a second. Staring down at the messy diagrams and handwriting on her page, Roxy couldn't help but smile for a moment; she had scary mutant powers, yes, but Xavier's still let her be a normal teenager. Her powers were under control, no crazy supervillains were attacking, and her worst problem was just...[i]homework.[/i]

Or so she thought.

[b][color=fcfc46]"Hey, sorry to interrupt! I need a, um..."[/color][/b] Jubilation paused for a moment, glancing at a sheet of paper in her hands. [b][color=fcfc46]"Roxanne Clemente?"[/color][/b]

Roxy's head shot up at the mention of her name. Was she in trouble or something? [b][color=#ff4c4c]"Um, that's me,"[/color][/b] she said, hastily scooping her books and pencils into her backpack.

[b][color=fcfc46]"Cool. Come with me."[/color][/b]

Jubilee was already walking out the door by the time Roxy managed to gather her things. As she walked-or rather, [i]ran-[/i] out of the classroom she bumped into a desk, but at least she out of class. Still, she didn't really know Jubilee, and now she was being taken somewhere? Her mind was racing a mile a minute, trying to figure out what the hell she could've done to get herself into trouble. She was [i]fairly[/i] certain nobody heard her call Hayden Lee "obnoxious" under her breath, at least. [b][color=#ff4c4c]"Miss Lee?"[/color][/b] God, she sounded like an idiot. [b][color=#ff4c4c]"Did I do something?"[/color][/b]

Jubilee gave her a grin, almost like Roxy's fear was amusing to her. That's what Roxy thought, anyway. [b][color=fcfc46]"You didn't do anything. It's what you [i]can[/i] do. Don't sweat it."[/color][/b]

What she [i]can[/i] do? What the hell does that even mean? Roxy tightened her grip on her backpack and followed Jubilee out to the courtyard, the cool air soothing her nerves a bit. If it was anything serious or bad, she wouldn't be in the courtyard, right? Still, the unknown was scary, and she wasn't quite sure what to think. She looked around, but she and Jubilee were the only ones there. She turned back to Jubilee, who had her hands on her hips. [b][color=fcfc46]"Welp, guess the others aren't here yet. Chill for a second, I gotta get some more kids."[/color][/b] [i]The others?[/i] More kids? Roxy said nothing as Jubilee walked back into the mansion, presumably to get [i]the others.[/i] Whoever the hell they are. Roxy set her backpack on the ground, wondering if she'd be back in class soon. She sort of hoped not, since she already knew the material anyway. Still, it might be better than sitting outside wondering what was going on.

Glancing around the courtyard, Roxy wondered why she didn't spend more time outside. The courtyard was pretty, albeit not very entertaining. Some trees, some flowers, grass, a few benches. It might make for a decent place to study, assuming there weren't too many people around. The fresh air was nice, at least. She could even hear some birds somewhere, which was...pleasant. The quiet was reassuring; whatever was happening, it wasn't anything bad or dramatic. Maybe it was some kind of assembly, or there was some special guest coming? Roxy's mind wandered to the "others" that Jubilee mentioned; she felt frustrated at the cryptic nature of her words. Did she have something against saying what she meant? Or, maybe it was supposed to be a surprise. Whatever it was, it was taking a long time. Roxy even found herself getting a little bit bored. Crossing her arms, Roxy took a deep breath, wondering who else would be joining her. People she knew? Strangers? Both?

At that thought, Roxy heard faint voices coming from inside the mansion. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked back to the center of the courtyard. She rocked back and forth on her heels, wondering who was coming. Roxy noticed she was getting a little cold; a tanktop and shorts didn't do her much good outside. Hopefully she'd be back inside soon enough.
