 Sun Shang Xiang sat fidgeting on the couch, making nervous glances toward either Alexi or Dundee. In truth, the simple pastel blue blouse and simple black skirt and the unseen portion of her ensemble was still hard for her to get used to. Though the clothes fit well enough, it was simply not what she was used to. Shang's instincts told her that her attire was more 'common', her blouse was actually made of silk! The Chinese princess was confused as to her status. Was she being treated as a noble or commoner? A lady or concubine? Warrior or common wench... With a faint shake of her head, the petite beauty cleared her mind of her doubts. Instead of guessing wrong about where she stood, she would act like the Sun she is and be direct, <"Honorable Dragon, would you be so kind, and tell me exactly what is to become of me. I would like to know what this Lord Xavier expects of me... and what my place is.>

 Alexander "Alexi" Stark Romanov Let me wrap my arms around you
Suffer the Trespasses that you‘ve made
I will take your pain away, forever and a day
If you‘d just call out my name, just whisper it
§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ Alexi was quiet for a moment as he contemplated the girl's words, his eyes finally wandering over to her and with skipping a beat, he responded. "Nothing horrid is to become of you. You are merely here to find out about the event of combat that you just recently missed, as you awoke right after it. Xavier is no lord, merely a teacher of this school. There are no lords, we're all merely people of different associations and jobs. Your place is wherever you want it to be." The assassin's voice was soft as he looked at her, amused that she continued to call him Honorable Dragon. Honorable was one of the few things he ever expected to be called in this long lifetime of his. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§
When you feel that something‘s wrong
I‘ll shelter you and keep you warm
I‘ll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me

Sun Shang Xiang continued mull over what Alexi said. Glancing around the room, the time displaced Chinese girl tried to ascertain what kind of position that this 'teacher' possessed. Although the majority of the objects that Shang observed were unfamiliar to her, she could tell of the superior workmanship. Noticing the books on the shelves built into the walls of this room, did seem to tell Shang much. Though the books themselves seem to be built in a manner that was unfamiliar to Shang, she could firstly tell that that was exactly what they were and secondly the manner of reference deferred to them. One tall wooden structure that continuously drew Shang's attention was the working grandfather clock proudly taking away. Jade eyes calmly examine the structure. Although personally she found the tick-tock noise annoying, she did admire the mechanical precision – even though she didn't quite understand the grandfather clock exact function was. After noting the pendulum and the doubtless gears within, Shang looked at the " face" of the clock recognizing the Roman numerals ranging from 1 to 12 with two pointers. When she noted the slow movement of the longer pointer, was when it finally dawned on her what the structure was. Shang's jade eyes slightly widened, <"It is a clock... A mechanical clock. Somehow I highly doubt that just anyone in this world would have an automaton clock. When I meet his Xavier, how should I best address him: as Sifu, Dashi, or Laoshi?">

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ "I'd recommend just referring to him as Professer or teacher. It is certainly the most accurate description." He wouldn't spoil the girl's thoughts on the clock just yet....considering a lot of different people had them now. It would just be interesting to see how she would interact with the rest of the world...somewhat like Captain America but a little more foreign...and exotic. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§

The Chinese girl simply nodded, and then saw Xavier come into the room in his hoverchair with a short redhead sporting a cane. Judging from the Professor's outward calm and, as she thought, shaved head, Shang took that and Xavier's apparent age -- this was a great master of learning that approached her in this magical chair. A man of great influence indeed. Before Xavier could speak, the time-displaced girl surprised him slightly by kneeling on the floor and bowing deeply to Professor Xavier. To Xavier's side, Barbara Gordon arched an eyebrow at the display, while Charles Xavier spoke in Mandarin to the girl, <"My dear lady, please. You may get up.">From the floor, the girl spoke looking up at the Professor, <"Honorable Laoshi Xavier, I thank you for your desire to help me, although I do not know what service I may be to a great teacher such as you.">Xavier simply smiled and motioned back to the couch, <"My dear lady, you are welcome and I thank you for honoring me so. Please, sit on the couch, so we may speak. There is no reason to fear, you are among friends. Perhaps introductions are in order. My name is Professor Charles Xavier. And this young woman beside me is Barbara Gordon from Gotham City. And this is the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. What is your name, Miss?">Taking a moment to resume her seat at the couch, the Chinese girl answered the question addressed to her, <"My name is Sun Shangxiang, Honorable Laoshi. And thank you again."><"It is quite alright, young lady. And I'm forgetting my manners. Would you like some tea, Miss Sun? Agent Romanov?"

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ "If you couldn't tell, I tried to prepare her for meeting you." Agent Romanov was a somewhat older student of Xavier's, though he had only stuck around for a year or two. Alexi certainly did not respect many...but he had a begrudging respect for Xavier at least. He just didn't like how the man could get into people's minds so easily. He always felt he had to be on guard. "You certainly know how to make a good first appearance." She might be surprised at his joking, but his eyes merely looked at her with that same amusement and curiousity as before. "Tea....would be appreciated." It wasn't his favorite drink but it would do. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§

Dundee, in contrast to Sun's bowing, smiled as he got back up, having stood back to get a hold of himself. "Hiya professor. Hi, Barbra. Everything alright here since I was gone?" he asked as he put his phone away. He'd text Kai and Arell later. C.J. was rather hard to text to sometimes . . .

Babs waved at Dundee as she exited the room to bring tea back; Xavier turned his attention toward the computer expert who had spoke up, "Ah Dundee, please join us." As the Professor motioned with his hand, Shang got up and took her seat -- looking at those present. Xavier continued to smile, "So, any news on the rest of our guests. Of course I know that Rogue and Miss Farichild are still in the infirmary, but I trust everyone else is well?"Sun Shang glanced between the Professor and this man with the odd device she had seen earlier. The Chinese princess leaned toward the SHIELD agent and whispered, "Ummm... what is going on, kind Dragon?"Then something caught Shang's eye. Jade green eyes peer our the stain glass windows and see the 'construction crew' working on the other side of the recent assemblage of the Institute. Shang was wondering why one end this place was finished -- until she caught sight of a pair of speedster girls helping a metal man in rebuilding a wall. Then, she saw a .... massive green elephant with long shaggy fur and long curled tusks pulling a large cart of bricks from around the corner. The young woman now sat there with wide eyes and her mouth slightly open, as she witnessed the very fast girls help offload the bricks from the cart. The brick disappeared from the cart and seemed to reappear one at a time forming another row on the new wall. The metal man then added mortar to the bricks -- double checking the wood framework keeping the newly stacked bricks in place until the mortar had a chance to harden. MahoHaku I hope this is okay for a bit of a setup for your characters... if not, let me know.

Garfield hauled the bricks to the girls and worked with them to help get stuff together for those who know how the building is supposed to be attempt to restore it. None of the Titans have seen the place when it was standing and it was best that they don't involve themselves with anything that wasn't T shaped he thought to himself. He returned to his human form after he had moved several bricks.
"How are you doing girls? Are any of you hungry? I'm not sure, but I think I remember that Bart and Wally needed a lot of food when they moved this fast." xxsoullessANGELUS Maybe Superboy can be in the infirmary with Rogue or maybe up with Gar helping with construction. Like lifting wooden frames, concrete and the like. (I think maybe the court yard should be cleaned up. Can't construct while trash lays about, I'm sure that they cleaned at least where they are building currently.)

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ "As well as it could be. We are awaiting Coulson to send word for what to do next. I'm just tired. Changing is always tiring." He sat there with Shang and as she leaned towards him and whispered, "Conversing. Nothing more. Tea is being made and we're awaiting orders from my....boss." It was a hard thing to stomach. ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§

While Sun Shang Xiang's eyes never left the amazingly fast construction crew outside, the Chinese princess simply nodded her head. Then something that Alexi said registered in her brain, <"You have a master? Whom do you follow, Noble Dragon?">Bringing out a large serving tray, a vibrant black man wearing a doctor's smock walk out with said tray and sets it down on a fold out table. The tray had an array of snacks consisting of small sandwiches, sliced cheese and crackers, grape tomatoes, celery sticks, broccoli, and olives. In the center of the tray, is a white ranch dip. Des smiled at the X-Men and Titans helping reassemble the mansion, "Alright folks, have some snacks for you all. Lemonade is on the way. I'll bring the jug and another tray of snacks, as soon as I can. That should hold you off until we have an early dinner. How's that sound?"

Dundee smiled as he walked over, getting his laptop out as he nodded. "Don't mind if I do, P'fessor." he said, grabbing a sandwich from the tray with a nod to the big fellow. "Much obliged, sir." he said as he sat down, looking at them. The Mississippian nodded towards Beast Boy as he took a quick bite. Okay, it's just a cheese sandwich. Probably best not to have ham in front of Garfield! he thought.

((Hi y'all biggrin Planning to make a new ref for the speedster sisters))
The girls were helping with bricks and mortar when Garfield called. They both wore jeans and holy shirts: loose clothing that could be ripped up and dirtied if need be. The elder of the two stood and aimed to hurry up to Garfield, though the force she put into it caused her to slip a bit in the slightly over-sized shoes she was wearing."SO hungry!"
Her younger sister also had stopped, watching as Des brought out food. She rushed up as well, careful not to hurry too much. "Everything looks so good, thank-you!" Victoria chirped excitedly, looking over the tray that had been presented.
Meanwhile Superboy was helping with more of the heavy lifting. He wasn't too hungry at the moment, but he waved to them from where would be the "second story" as he carried one of the support beams on his shoulder with ease.

While several of the teens outside got served snacks, Barbara Gordon returns with a silver tray with several cups of tea on saucers with stirring spoons, a ceramic box with sugar and it's own spoon, a miniature pitcher with milk cream. Oracle sets the tray down on the table so everyone can get their cups, "There you go guys. Enjoy."

§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲ "Thank you." He drank the tea quietly as he looked at Shang, his eyes examining her as he personally thought about her question. Well...not thought. Questioned if he should even admit to having a boss or a master. His mouth opened for a moment but shook his head as he tried once more. "I follow.....no, I assist SHIELD. My....father...and my mother have more or less put me with them. It's not the worst thing ever. But noone is my master. How about you, dear princess?" ▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§▲§
