[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=BA68A6]Bobbi Hobbes[/color] and [color=007236]Marygold Isley[/color][/i][/b][/h1][/center][hr][hr]

	Bobbi followed the others up into the main area of the mansion.  Most seemed ready to check out but she was still at quite a bit of a loss.  What was she doing here?  Was she going to get a room?  Would she sleep outside like some sort of vagabond?  She would need to cancel her accommodations at the hotel as well.  Pick up her things.  It was too late to do that right now though.

	She cleared her throat once she was at the top of the stairs.  [color=BA68A6]"Sorry to be interrupting and such, but... Is there a place I should be going?  A thing I should be doing?"[/color]  She hoped someone, anyone, would have an idea of what was supposed to be happening with her.

	Mary had heard that Bobbi was coming to the mansion by Xavier, so she had known to have expected her to arrive. There, of course, was the one problem of Mesmero that had sort of stopped her from really talking to Bobbi much before. She walked up to Bobbi, giving her a smile, [color=007236]"Hey there, guessing you don't know where your room is right?"[/color]

	[color=BA68A6]"Right O' babe, I walked in and it was all hell here.  So, I do got a room, huh?"[/color]  She young woman stuffed her hands in her pockets and grinned at Mary.  [color=BA68A6]"Bobbi, you are?"[/color] she inquired, removing a hand to reach out for the customary handshake.  Or fist bump.  Or whatever it was kids did these days.

	[color=007236]"Marygold Isley, the Professor had let me know that you were coming, sorry for the sort of chaos that ensued when you showed up... Sadly that sort of thing occurs more often then you think... Honestly some of us have taken to placing bets on the next time the mansion will explode. It happens way too much, but we're pretty sure it won't happen for another year at the least,"[/color] she said, shaking her hand, though now Mary was wearing a pair of gloves on her hand, as opposed to earlier when she wasn't. [color=007236]"Anyway, your room is set up in one of the dorms, think you lucked out and don't have a roommate or anything."[/color] 

	Bobbi raised her eyebrows.  [color=BA68A6]"Roommate?  Shit, like rehab all over again.  A twenty something with a roommate.  Damn straight I lucked out.  Lead the way Boss Lady,"[/color] she said, holding out her arm to indicate the way forward.  She tucked her hands back into her pockets and followed along beside Mary.  [color=BA68A6]"Professor must be loaded if he can keep fixing up this place then.  A year until it explodes again?  I guess I was lucky twice, coming right when things got hinky."[/color]  Her tones were jovial and full of jokes.  She wasn't about to take all of this too serious just yet.  Not until she needed to.  And it wasn't like she knew anyone here anyway.  [color=BA68A6]"So... what is it we do anyway?  I mean... What am I gonna be doin' here, I guess."[/color]

	[color=007236]"We generally work to keep most normal humans safe from people like us who tend to use their powers for personal gain or to take over the world. That tends to kind of be a full time job almost, we've got the Danger Room which is sort of our training grounds of sorts so that we can learn how to use our powers, and teach the younger students who come here how to use their abilities as well... Actually you might have seen the Danger Room AI who was walking around at one point, not sure if you saw her or not... Anyway generally our most common enemy is a mutant by the name of Magneto, he generally tries to go to war with normal humans with his Brotherhood, either that or wipe them out entirely..."[/color] Mary said, leading her towards where her room was.

	Whistling in appreciation of the depth of their commitment to humans, Bobbi responded, [color=BA68A6]"Sounds like a fuckin' comic book.  Or a movie franchise."[/color]  She elbowed Mary conspiratorially.  [color=BA68A6]"So, the dude we're fighting now.  He ain't this Magneto character, right?  This is some other dude?  How many enemies y'all got?"[/color]  It was hard to believe so many people could want to go around being mega dick waffles to others.  Then again... Super people were probably just as shitty as regular people.  That sent shivers through her spine.  

	[color=007236]"...Trust me, you don't want to know the answer to how many enemies we've got... Though it is technically not just us... The team now, is kind of the next generation in a way, the first team ran into a lot of people. I was 16 years old the last time we ran into Mesmero, hadn't been on the team too long, the guy disappeared afterwards and was never caught, guess we all just assumed he'd disappeared... But yeah, the amount of enemies this school has... It's a lot... Anyway, this is your room,"[/color] she said, opening the door to an unused room. There was a bed, nightstand and dresser, as well as an empty closet.

	[color=BA68A6]"Cozy,"[/color] she said lightly as she stepped into the room.  It was bigger than any she'd had in her life.  The young woman turned and smiled at Mary.  The girl was a bit bland, didn't seem to laugh at any of her jokes.  But she seemed calm and helpful.  Maybe it was just the recent attack making her out of sorts.  [color=BA68A6]"My bike is still out front.  Is there a garage or something I can put it in?"[/color]

	[color=007236]"Definitively, got a garage over on the side of the mansion, sometimes I think that the garage is almost as big as the mansion itself half the time. Then again it does have a weird elevator sort of thing that can get you anywhere in the mansion you need to go... But yeah, don't worry too much about that... Oh, and one more thing,"[/color] she said, before she pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to her. [color=007236]"That's the security code at the front gate. Usually the security system is turned on except when we know to expect visitors, then it gets turned off briefly and such... But just type the code in at the front gate if the gates are closed and you should be fine. Trust me you do not want to see the security system this place has from the position of someone trying to break in."[/color]

	Bobbi accepted the paper gladly.  [color=BA68A6]"Thanks, doll!  I'll bet it would kick my ass to kingdom come."[/color]  She looked the code over and then stuffed it into her pocket for safe keeping.  Before Mary could leave her, the curiosity that bubbled inside of Bobbi could not be contained.  [color=BA68A6]"Sorry to ask, but I was just wondering... What's the beef between you and that girl?  You almost seem more like enemies than teammates.  If you don't wanna talk about it of course...  It's just odd to be on a team with people so... out of sorts with each other, you know?"[/color]

	[color=007236]"You mean between Ayita and I? Well, we've got some major differences when it comes to thinking if it is okay to kill someone or not... Not to mention she was comparing a hallucinogenic drug to catnip of all things, that was pretty weird too... And she was blaming me for saying a bunch of things that I never said, but the other person in the room had said, that's all really annoying..."[/color]

	Bobbi nodded solemnly.  [color=BA68A6]"Ah, I get it.  A great big misunderstanding of feelings it sounds like.  Well, I'm sure it will resolve!  Thank you for sharing.  I should likely get my bike put away and hit the hay.  Thanks for the help."[/color]  She winked at Mary and closed her room door for the pair to stand in the hallway.  [color=BA68A6]"I hope you sleep well."[/color]

	[color=007236]"I seriously doubt that sleep will come very easily to me,"[/color] Mary said with a shrug, [color=007236]"As for the Ayita thing, I seriously doubt that it is going to end well at all... Anyway, you're welcome, guess I'll see you around then,"[/color] she said with a slight wave, before heading down the hallway again.
