Ororo narrowed her eyes as she held Corwin's gaze, searching for any sign of deception. "This is indeed turning out to be a strange, alarming day." she murmured to herself, approaching the boy now, "As far as I can tell, you seem genuine. Though it does trouble me that you were able to find this place by simple word-of-mouth..." she trailed off, "My name is Ororo Munroe. I am one of the faculty here. And your name?"
She would take this young man to Professor Xavier, have him make sure the boy was truthful. Then they would need to press him to find out how exactly he had heard about a mutant school in the area. If there were rumors spreading around, that was not a good sign, and the X-Men would need to start following up on them.
((Hey, no worries, it's cool. I hardly consider a day to be a huge wait period.))

"Wait, you're telling me... I found the right place! At least, I don't have to walk anymore. You guys should probably work on the security of this place."
Corwin let out a light chuckle. He smiled and looked around the courtyard. He started to make his way towards the school but stopped.
"Corwin. Call me Cory. Everyone calls me Cory."
Cory then continued heading towards the school turning back and motioning for the woman to follow him.

Ororo did not like that, the casual way Corwin stalked ahead and motioned for her to follow, as if this was his home and she were the intruder. Nor was she appreciative of the boy's 'advice.'
"We had an earlier intrusion today, which led to the decimation of our equipment here. You are lucky that was the case; as a mutant, you would have been targeted as soon as you stepped on the grounds." The security equipment wasn't lethal, of course, unless they set it to be, but it was enough to knock out most mutants who intruded without clearance.
Ororo walked ahead so she was now the one leading the way, speaking without looking back, "Very well then Cory. I will be taking you to our headmaster. You do not seem to be a threat, but we must be cautious, so he will decide your fate." she couldn't help saying that last part with an ominous tone. Corwin had caused enough trouble and shown enough arrogance that she thought he deserved to be a bit unnerved. Of course, by 'fate,' she simply meant if he would be accepted into the school or not, which he most likely would be.

 Corwin was used to this standard of living before he died, but he hadn't been in this big of a house in a while. He glanced over his surroundings with a smile on his face as he followed the woman who hadn't told him her name yet.
"I'm guessing the Lorna chick you mentioned earlier. I could've taken the systems though... Headmaster, are you implying this place is a school? What could you all possibly be teaching here? I never caught your name either..."
Cory definitely picked up on her not so subtle hostility. He was used to getting that from people. Cory had a knack for getting under people's skins. His brain started to wonder about all the awesome escapades that happened at the school. A school full of super-powered teenagers, there must be a rager here every week. Then reality set in, Cory realized this place is supposed to be a secret. He's still surprised it even exists, and even more surprised he found it.Kitsune Ketz Kwineight ((We should probably leave in your post, I give you permissin to move my character to Xavier's Office.))

Ororo answered Corwin's questions calmly, one-by-one, "Yes, it was the Lorna girl who caused the damage. She showed up out of nowhere, much like yourself." she chose not to comment on his assertion that he could've taken their systems. It was impossible to plan their security for every possible mutation. She did not know what his abilities were as of yet, so he very well may have been capable of backing his claim. "And yes, this is a school. It is a haven for young mutants to safely gain their education, as well as a means of learning to control their mutations.
"And I believe I have already stated that my name is Ororo Munroe. I know it is a difficult name. You may simply call me Ms. Munroe if that suits you." she had briskly led Corwin into the mansion, through the halls, ignoring anyone they passed along the way. She made her way straight to Xavier's office.

  Wearing: Outfit Coming up to the large estate, Mugen peered out the window to view its vast property. The taxi screeched to a stop just a bit after passing the gate. The steps wouldn’t be too far away, but Mugen wanted to walk the courtyard himself. It was beautiful and filled with greenery. He was sure he’d enjoy the alone time anyways. Swinging open the cab door, Mugen dangled his legs out before exiting into a stretch with his arms above his head. Reaching back into the cab, Mugen retrieved the only thing he personally brought: a basketball. Apparently all of his bags had been sent here before him. You can certainly call it high end service.
With his headphones dug deep into his ears, the point guard began dribbling the ball rhythmically as he strolled the paved yard. ”It’s beautiful,” he admitted to himself. Better than any boarding school he was ever offered previously. Unconsciously, he began dribbling the ball off the ground and between his legs in each step, switching hand possession with each bounce. Coming up to face the school, Mugen spun to a stop and held the ball to his left hip. His eyes scanned up the front steps to the entrance doors and he eyed it through his sunglasses. ”I guess this is home now,” he sighed in disbelief of his past. Exiled from high school and future collegiate competitions, this is the only other place that would accept him now.

"It is beautiful, isn't it?!" Isis coyed as she overheard the young male who had entered the courtyard. The egyptian beauty was pleased to see another new face here at the mansion. Of course, she was still pretty new herself having only been here a few years. A smirk crossed her lips as she remembered when she had first arrived. Scared. Alone. Scarred. She was a different person now. Some would even say spiteful. Her one goal now was to claim the revenge that so rightfully belonged to her. That's probably why she hadn't made too many friends at the mansion yet. She just wasn't the open, cuddly type. That didn't lessen her charisma anymore though considering how comfortable she was around people. Isis eyed the male with interest. All of the students who passed through this school had various reasons for their being here. So many lives could be touched at the Xavier Institute. So many lives could be saved. Isis had been one of those lives, and the question of whether this new boy was seeking the same type of refuge was what piqued her curiosity. "Welcome to the school, slick. I'm Isis." She stated playfully. "You have a name?" Isis's honey laced tone couldn't hide the sultry energy that sat under it like a tiger waiting to pounce. Hey, a seductress could never hide her stripes.

Wearing: Outfit Mugen turned to face the girl whom seemingly appeared out of the blue. For a second he wondered if that had anything to do with her gifts but brushed it off. He probably didn’t notice her while taking in the full presence of the institute. ”Mugen,” he replied softly. With his dark eyes peering through his sunglasses, he was hoping she couldn’t notice him checking her out. She was beautiful, an eye catcher to say the least – but it was obvious she herself already knew that. ”Wow,” Mugen admired aloud. ”I – I mean I didn’t notice you were there, I-sis,” Mugen mentioned awkwardly, trying to fix his outburst. He felt slightly embarrassed and anxious in this interaction but he couldn’t help himself. More about actions than words, he isn’t the best at social interactions. At the same time, Mugen could admit he was slightly intimidated by her beauty and tone of voice. Was she purposely playing games with him? He wasn’t sure, but it was definitely working if that was her plan.
”So...” Mugen began while repositioning his sunglasses on top his head, ”What can you do?” His face now fully uncovered, he was sure Isis would be able to read him like a book. But that wasn’t so bad, he wanted her to know he had nothing to hide.

Isis couldn't help but smile at the boy. His nervous energy was as obvious as the sky was blue. It intrigued her because a guy like him came off as the cool, and confident type. Isis tapped a finger on her chin as she sat cross legged on one of the stone benches of the garden. "Pleasure to meet you." She took the time to search his features as he removed his glasses. He was a young man of asian descent, possibly japanese but had the physique of greek god. Maybe that had something to do with his power? Super strength, perhaps? You could never quiet guess anymore. Isis looked at her hands when questioned about her own abilities. A half smirk crossed her lips. She remembered a time when she used to be scared of what she could do. Fearful of what could happen to those closest to her. Nowadays, her abilities served as a reminder of what she as fighting for; equality. Her chocolate brown orbs trailed up to his as she spoke. "Snake mimicry. Not the most beautiful power, but we all have some things about us that aren't so pretty." Her words were true in every sense. The siren quickly snapped from her thoughts and to the fact that he hadn't explained his power. "I'm sure you have a gift as well, right?!"

Wearing: OutfitSnake mimicry? Mugen silently questioned what that included. Was it something along the line of snake transformation or did she mean she could project poison out of her? Maybe both. Thoughts like these riddled his head for a bit but he found it kind of ironic; such an attractive girl yet men should just stay away for their own good. He let loose a subtle smile while thinking this. ”It’s all subjective,” he replied while seating himself next to her. With her eyes locked to his, Mugen felt slightly awkward. Her beauty put him on the spot but it was nice to have the company of someone like him. ”One man’s pauper is another’s princess, right?” he asked rhetorically.
Breaking eye contact with Isis, Mugen sat his basketball on the green grass below them. He wasn’t sure whether or not he should tell her about his gifts. The last time he told somebody about it, he got a one way trip to expulsion. But at least this time it’ll be to someone in the same position as him. Someone who can understand what it’s like to be abnormal. Releasing a sigh to indicate giving in to her question, Mugen bent forward over his legs to retrieve a stone pebble. ”I guess I’m just… accurate” his voice smooth and subtle in the reply.
Looking back into her gaze, Mugen activated his eyes. At that moment onward, it was as if the world slowed to perfection. He could see everything so clearly, and there wasn’t a thing he’d miss by overlooking. Not even a specific strand of her hair. At that moment onward, his view of Isis changed. She was more beautiful than he originally thought. He noticed everything about her. From each individual eyelash to the silky skin complexion to the hazel specs in those chocolaty eyes. The words ”Wow.” slipped from his mouth once again but he wasn’t embarrassed this time. He was too distracted. In awe, the pebble he only seconds ago fetched had slipped through his fingers. The teen forgot that he had done this in the first place to only demonstrate his accuracy. Oh well.

"I suppose so." Isis said with a shrug of her shoulders. He seemed to take her powers in stride, much to her dismay. Most guys would have been fearful of her once she told them her abilities. She is a viper after all. Men couldn't be too certain that she was just innocent beauty, and had to prepare for inevitable bite from her fangs. She was honestly flattered by Mugen's remarks, but she hoped he knew what he was getting himself into. She was playing nice for now, but eventually the siren would lull him with her lullaby.
Watching him as he sat, Isis could tell her previous question had sent him into a state of contemplation. Secretive much? It was strange to see another mutant who could be just as paranoid as she was. The thought reminded her of how she needed to fix that, pronto. "Superhuman Accuracy?!" Her brow went up in the air skeptically as she watched him pick up the pebble. Although mutant abilities were all unique, and there seemed to be no limit to what could be done, she didn't think his power was actually based on mutant ability or extreme luck. At least until she saw his dark, beautiful eyes illuminate themselves. His power was activated. Isis watched his hand to see what he would do, but he just stared at her. The viper giggled to herself as he let the word 'Wow' slip from his mouth once more and the pebble slipped from his finger tips. Something told her it wasn't just her powers that impressed him. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were flirting with me, Mugen." Isis coyed. The brunette placed a hand on his thigh and leaned over to him, her face inches from his. "Let me give you a tour of the mansion, handsome." Her silk tone revealed the seductive intent behind her words. Of course besides the main points of interest at the mansion, she could always give him the personal tour of her mouth. Too vulgar was never a bad thing, right?!
Isis stood up from the bench and brushed herself off. Hopefully she had left the asian man wanting more. The seductress knew this was the beginning of something wonderful. Besides, she was doing her civil duty as a fellow X-man by showing him around. "Is there anything out here that you haven't seen yet?" Isis inquired. She nodded in the direction of the tennis/basketball court, and pool area. Two areas that were commonly used by the youth of the mansion. This was just the surface of what the mansion had to offer. The huge complex housed much more than this, and that didn't even include the large underground bunker known as the Subbasement. Isis began moving towards the pool area using the stone pathway. "Tell me when you wanna go check out some things inside." Isis playfully winked as they came upon the large pool, the tennis court right next to it currently being played on by 4 young mutants.

Wearing: Outfit Reverting his eyes back, the curious teen allowed them to trail Isis before standing up to do the same. He laughed subtly at her accusations of him flirting. It’s been quite some time since he had a light hearted conversation with a girl. But even further she called him handsome. It seemed forever ago since someone called him that. In the more recent months, the only comments about him were more along the lines of freak. Still, he couldn’t tell if Isis was teasing him or whether she was actually attracted, but it was probably safer to assume the former. After all, it was only the first time they met. Mugen, however, was more than slightly attracted. ”How about the pool?” he asked with a playful wink. In honesty, a part of him really wanted to see the pool... but the other just wanted more quality time with Isis. And since she was already heading in that direction, he wasn't going to complain.
Tailing behind the gem, he took another chance to collect her physical beauty. ”Are all the other students this cute?” he thought to himself. Biting his lower lip at the thought of other students, he came back to the reality that he’d have to interact with more than just Isis to get by here. It’s great that there’s others to socialize with but Mugen knew even in his glory days that he wasn’t the most social. Shaking off his thoughts, it donned on him that perhaps he should know the one in front of him first before reaching out to the others. With each foot mimicking Isis’s over the stone path, he was curious to know more about her. Curious to learn the interior of her – beyond her appearance. ”So tell me Isis, what’s living her like? I mean… you had to have been the new kid at one point, right?”

Isis waved to the other students before walking down another stone path that led to the back door of the mansion. Isis smirked a little as she could feel Mugen's gaze on her from behind. "Like what you see, hm?" She teased. The siren stopped at the stone steps that led up to the back door when Mugen questioned her. She was unsure of how to answer since her time of adjustment felt like so long ago. The mansion had become a home to her when it felt as if her world was crashing down around her. She was glad to be here, but Mugen was right; she was the new kid at one point. Isis reflected on how fearful she was upon arrival. She had just survived an attempted capture by Weapon X soldiers, and was on the run. Her trust issues stemmed from this event, which in turn made it difficult to entrust the X-men with her safety. She will never be able to repay that debt. "Living here has given me the best years of my life. I was lost, and confused, but the X-men have given me hope." A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she looked at Mugen. "So what brings you here? I'm sure your presence isn't just a coincidence either." Isis inquired. The siren seated herself on the wooden bench near the back door and beckoned Mugen to sit next to her.

Wearing: OutfitTailing her step for step, Mugen was glad to hear the institute was as good as they preached. They’re welcoming – or seem so thus far. He seated himself next to her and reflected her smile with his own. ”I was a prospect for basketball... but after they found out about this…” he paused momentarily to gather his feelings as he felt them slipping. ”I guess it just wasn’t fair for me to keep playing so they locked me out” he finished with regret in his voice. Thinking back to his past, he realized his distrust of people really began with his coach. The person he confided in simply sold him out. Releasing a slight sigh, Mugen lightly shook his head with anguish.
”I hope this place is as good as you say…” he liberated softly. Slowly he shifted his hand closer until it laid on top of hers. Mugen wasn’t sure what he was doing, but it was nice to simply have contact with someone even if it was just slight contact. Mugen’s eyes didn’t match with Isis’s though. He kept them arrowed away and towards the pool. Aside from the gifted students, he didn’t know many schools like this one. Even though it was an institute, it felt more like home – a new home, anyways.

Isis nodded her head in understanding as she empathized with Mugen. She understood what it felt like to have people exclude you because your mutation. People wrongly believed that mutants used their powers to cheat, and get an upper hand on the common man. She could tell Mugen was passionate about the sport by the way he carried the basketball in his hand around. It sucked being a mutant sometimes. Isis sighed as she remembered the words passed onto her by Storm; one day all of this will be a laughable memory. Isis hoped in her heart of hearts that those words would one day hold true. She placed a hand on his thigh sympathetically. "I'm sorry to hear that. On the bright side, you can always practice your skills on me." Isis purred. A gentle laugh escaped her lips as she tried to lighten the mood with her signature charm. Her eyes traveled down to her hands as she felt something brush against them. Mugen had laid his large hand upon her tiny one. A smile crossed her features as her chocolate brown orbs kept their focus on him. She could feel him trying not to look at her, but Isis would not have that. She gently placed her palm on his cheek and turned his head towards her. The seductress leaned in and gently embraced him on the lips. She kissed him for about a minute before releasing him. "It's better than I say it is actually." Isis ran her fingers across his lip playfully as she stared into his eyes.
