Kaylee smiled at the nice balding man in a blue polo and slacks. The kids at this school would run all over him and lead to an early grave for him. He was sweet but not what they were looking for. She turned to Adam as he came back from walking Mr. Rhodes to the door. “No Adam. Nothing so far. Do we really have no one that can take this on?” Adam was about to say something when Kaylee waved him off. “No for the last time you are needed here teaching you can’t do that and security. We need someone competent and powered who understands that sometimes things get more dangerous than expected. No normal human could handle these kids. Isaac Miller for one. Don’t get me started on Uná O’Brian, Drake Edwards, Nikolai Markov, Gunnar Grimson or Khloe Jeon. Practically all those kids could seriously injure or even kill someone. A few already have. We need this for the safety of the students, us and the outside world.” She ticked off fingers for each name.

Adam ran his hand through his hair and sighed. Kaylee was right. Not that he’d admit it. He had too many responsibilities to take this one on as well. He grunted and picked up a folder from the table and tossed it at Kaylee. The name on the file read St. John, Coleman. “Try this one. He’s supposed to be here in about a half hour.”

Kaylee started to say something as their communicators went off simultaneously. Unauthorized presence in the Danger Room. Unauthorized presence in the Danger Room. Threat level escalated accordingly. Standby. The message beeped out as Kaylee and Adam looked at each other in shock.

“Oh my God!! Adam tell me you switched it from auto this morning after you used it?!? Or that you didn’t use it this morning at all!?!” Kaylee went white with shock. “What if it’s Sy?!?”

Adam didn’t bother wasting words he turned and ran for the Danger Room.

Kaylee got on the communicator and called for Tabby. “Tabby? Will you meet Adam at the Danger Room. Someone has to work the controls so that Adam can pull the crazy kid out of there.”

A velvety posh British voice came over the communicator. “Already on top of it. Besides Adam will need a cool head to not kill the kid.”

Adam snapped back in a frustrated tone. “I can hear that you know.”

”So nice of you to join the conversation. Get your rear in gear. You’re probably the one who caused this.” You could have heard a pin drop in the silence. “Bloody hell Adam!!! Meet you there. Out.”

Ethan watched the group walk up to the table but hung back as Victoria had left. Unsure where that left him he stayed with Marinalia because she was not going. He'd had a private conversation with Siobhan so he could skip the mass thank you and give a more personal touch.

Seeing her art on full display he bid on the moonlit church. Then over bid the others by a few thousand dollars. He could afford it and the painting reminded him of Victoria. He'd carry it up to her later. He watched as Siobhan mingled and rarely ever left Paige and Milo. The artist was careful and a bit protective of them.

Ethan of course won the bid on the church painting and he took it up to Victoria. She was exhausted but he knew how he’d wake her up. Sneaking into her room he placed the painting on a chair that he barely saw. Shedding his clothes he slipped under the covers. He woke her up in a most interesting way. He managed to persuade her that the thrill of being caught was worth a little love on the balcony. He only just managed to keep her quiet after she got a little loud sooner than expected.

All in all it was a very good night...

Siobhan to Lexi and told her she was taking off. “I’m leaving people are starting to get touchy feely and you know that is my cue to leave.” Lexi grimaced and nodded at Siobhan’s whisper that only Lexi could hear. Siobhan made her way out the door fairly easily. She was only stopped once and that was by Rita who congratulated her on the success of the party and imparted some information that would hit the papers tomorrow. “Yes, well, thanks for the warning. Are you still going to Mother’s brunch?” Siobhan knew Rita was. She never missed it. But it was a way to avoid the topic of boyfriends since Rita was still in reporter mode. Siobhan hugged her and finally got out the door to see that Joel had pulled up with the Jeep.

Siobhan grinned as he looked over at her as he had just gotten things moved around for his painting. She had purposefully held the painting in front of the dress not giving him a good view till she handed the painting off to him to load it in. She had hoped that the dress would elicit a very male response. Possibly… it was a shot in the dark but it is his favorite color from what I remember him telling me. And it’s a lot colder than I anticipated and he is wearing shorts. Well I can’t say much I’m wearing a dress...with thigh high stockings which gives a bit more warmth but not much.

Siobhan did a slow turn to give him full view of the dress keeping her eyes on him. “Well is this okay for whatever you have in mind tonight?”

Beatrix was weary today. She’d had a dream interaction with multiple people. That had never happened before. She had been up since before they unlocked the doors at five in the morning. The morning light spilled in and she sighed in contentment at it’s warmth. It chased away the chill of fear in her soul. This place was dreary at best most of the time. She stared at her toes peeking out from the hem of her dress.

The dream was the issue. She hadn’t had one for months but now she has one. These things were so random. There was no correlation that she could think of. She saw most of these people daily, unless they went for testing or she did. She had seen Vincent, Caelia, Cassidy, Alice, Felix and Alex. They had appeared separately and again together. Beatrix had previous dreams like this involving others. She’d known Felix the longest so he didn’t seem as stunned as the other’s had been. The screams had faded in the dreams and they all seemed to find a safe haven within the dreamscape. Or so she thought. But a dreamscape held no thrill for Beatrix.

Dreamscapes meant testing later on. So she waited in the Library and tried to enjoy this while she could. She had hoped that she got one of the nicer scientists but it was all pretty random. Over the years Beatrix had gotten to know some of the staff but very few.

Beatrix looked down at her book. She had insisted years ago that her name was Beatrix and mostly that is what she was called unless formalities were enforced then it was Subject 007. She smiled at the book and picked it back up.

Sitting in the window with the sunlight coming through the window she made a very contrasting picture of innocence and sensuality. Her hair was like a fiery halo around her head and her dress while not sheer gave a hint of the delicate form underneath.

Siobhan watched as a group came up and asked a few questions about her being the one to put this together. Siobhan smiled as the blue haired girl was dragging a blonde man. He had to be her brother. They were adorable. Siobhan smiled as the blue haired girl talked then about to answer her a burnette man also chimed in. She smiled at them and leaned forward. “Well I’m not the one that put this together. I just did the paintings. You guys have yet to see all the other paintings. Lexi put all this together at the last minute practically. Glad you’re all enjoying the show.”

Siobhan introduced Paige and Milo to the group and they chatted for a minute as Xia walked up. Siobhan put on a very neutral demeanor. It was just Xia by herself. She asked me out to lunch? And she’s a massage therapist? Siobhan smiled at Xia knowing that they’d get along just fine and nodded and waived as she walked off with a genuine smile.

Lexi came and got Siobhan later and as she was leaving she gave Paige a hug touching Milo on the arm in a sister-like gesture. About five minutes after that guests were told that the full unveiling would begin. The collection seemed to follow a pattern starting with the bridges. The St. Alexus Bridge then Matthews Bridge. There was Light Lane, The Coffee Pot, Downtown, Theatre. A quaint picture of Riverside, a Church, the University, the Library. The next set were more recent she had a painting of City Hall, a sunny day at the Park and Another Park. Ironically she also had a picture of this Manor. Her views were spectacular like the Sunset View. Rain took on a romantic quality as well as Trains. Finally a night time CIty View rounded out the collection. Siobhan watched as people wandered around the paintings. Most noticed that the painting of Apex Designs was the only one with people in it and was not for sale.

As the bidding was taking place and people were mingling Siobhan caught Lexi’s eye and nodded as she went over to Paige and Milo. She found them easily enough and said her goodbyes. She texted Joel one word DONE. Then she wrapped up his painting and informed the valet that he’d be coming for her in a few minutes.

X-Men: The New Era

Whew. Okay, so I read all of the IC posts last night before I went to bed, but I'm pretty sure only about a third of what I was reading actually registered in my mind and half of that is gone now that I've slept. All of the different text colors really messes with my head.

Do you want me to do the whole arriving thing like everyone else did or should I just... jump in? Or both and write a mammoth of a post with just everything Ruben has been doing til now? Or I could just spam pictures of Jared's abs. I'm cool with that, too.

_{By Jared, I mean Jared Padalecki, my faceclaim.}

@The Mad Hatter

If you want to write his story up till now that is awesome or jumping right in is fine too. Abs are always good.

@RumikoOhara I will post again for Lily tomorrow unless you wanted to start a colab??

Elijah was opening the door to the dance studio Fleur had asked him to meet her there. Smirking he watched the prima donna getting out danced by a little redheaded sprite that looked like she stepped off the set of Riverdance. Fleur was a distraction he wasn’t all that interested just passing time with her. She caught his eye and smirked as she executed a fouetté rond de jambe en tournant knocking the poor little sprite over. Elijah raised an eyebrow at Fleur and showed off her jealousy in a big way.

“Oh Uná you really should watch where you’re dancing, if you can call that dancing. Let me help you up.” Fleur was smirking as she held out her hand to Uná. Elijah knew what was coming and before he could warn Uná it happened. Uná took Fleur’s proffered hand and Fleur let loose with her power. Uná must not have seen Fleur’s face which made sense since Uná had been pushing her hair out of her face.

Elijah saw Uná roll about ten feet across the room as he hissed at Fleur who put on an innocent face that was all lies. He looked back over at Uná as she groaned and popped to her feet in a martial arts move that you see in movies and people who know a good bit about martial arts. The look in Uná’s eyes launched him into action. She had murder written there. As the little sprite crouched and launched herself at Fleur he managed to catch Uná around the waist. “Miss Garner I believe you’ve done your damage you may leave.”

“But Elijah I-”

“GET OUT OR I LET HER GO!!” Elijah thundered Uná was getting hard to hold onto. She was a squirmy little sprite and had almost got away from him twice now. He knew that he was lucky the little one had kept her head enough to not attack him. He heard the door shut and the little hellcat in his arms growled in frustration. “Alright sprite the lightning bug is gone. I’m not letting you go till you promise me that you can behave.” The experience would be pleasant if she wasn’t struggling so much. “Uná any chance you were named after the cute little sprite in Legend?”

Uná went still and really looked at the guy that was holding her back from that…that...Uná couldn’t come up with a scathing enough description for her. He wasn’t Nikolai or Nathan but he was pretty. She raised an eyebrow at him. “You are the first person to accurately peg my name. Well at least here.” Uná relaxed and Elijah let her go and stepped back and straightened his clothes.

Elijah smiled slightly. “Well now that’s over we should head over to Ashford’s office. He’ll be wanting to see you. I was going to bring you later around lunch but now’s as good a time as any.” He proceeded Uná out the door.

Uná grabbed her things and ran to catch up with Elijah. She was not walking behind him as if she were inferior. Her temper up she marched with her dance bag slung over her shoulder to Ashford’s office. Elijah knocked on the door and when they heard a signal to enter he ushered Uná inside. “Uná O’Brian for you sir.” Elijah saluted Uná with two fingers and stage whispered. “Promise he doesn’t bite...much” He chuckled softly at her expression of mock horror and shut the door whistling as he left.

Uná looked up as Fleur entered the dance studio while Uná was working on a routine. Uná had her headphones in and was blaring “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” by Frankie Valli and stopped her routine when she saw Fleur sneer. Uná pulled out her headphones and went for her towel.

“You know Uná I don’t know why you bother. It’s not like your good at this.” Fleur was stretching in her white leotard her pointe shoes a pale pink like the gossamer skirt at her narrow hips. She made Uná, who wasn’t heavy in the slightest, look that way.

Uná rolled her eyes. “Ballet isn’t everything Twiggy.” Uná wiped off the sweat she had accumulated from going over the routine for the past hour. Fleur done stretching started out the classic ballerina I’m going to show off moves and Uná raised an eyebrow. “Are you serious Twiggy? Fine. I’ll dance circles around you.” Uná was decent in ballet but where she excelled in was in the more flashy jazzy soft shoe and Irish step. With the shoes Uná had on there was no way she was going en pointe. So she Irish stepped around Fleur.
