"Gotta say... I'm kinda surprised you blokes ain't flippin' out about me. Oooo, parmesan would be fantastic." Aarin stirred the sauce a bit longer, tested the noodles with a fork, and then dumped the boiling pot into the colander across the kitchen; he began moving to the sink even as he slowly released the warp, creating the rather odd sight of him zipping forward on elongated limbs which rapidly shrunk back to normal size and rate of movement by the time he got there. As usual, he didn't seem to mind the noise.
A few tosses of the pasta later, he was back at the stove, dumping the noodles and sauce into a large pan together. After a brief mixing, he took a step back and bowed deeply, speaking in an atrocious fake French accent. "Ze scrumptious deeenair eez servehd."

Within a moment of leaving the War Room, thanks to heightened senses and a few of the X-Mansion's many secret passages, Logan had left the subbasement completely and was storming his way to the X-Mansion's upper levels. Passing through the main foyer, Wolverine paused just long enough to sniff the air around him. Her scent was strongest here, meaning she must have lingered for a bit, and seemed to leave a path straight from the front door and up the staircase. Growling heavily in his usual manner, Logan decided not to waste anymore time and continued on the trail of his clone by pounding up the stairs, six adamantium claws at the ready.
====
"Since you're buyin'," started Lance, ignoring Jullian's 'Mr. Sunshine' comment completely and responding in what was, for him at least, a normal and expected tone of voice.
"Everything. Except olives. " he added, in response to her pizza question while tossing his empty beer bottle across the kitchen as he aimed for the sink. It soared just over and to the right of Lizz' head, missing her by a few inches before landing with a reverberating CLANG in the metal basin.

{It's a pity I can't animate stuff for crap. This fight would make a kickass Flash cartoon. Also, the symbiont's gonna start affecting his persona and appearance a bit now, 'kay?}
"Whoa! Watch it there!" Morgan said, rolling out of the way of her foot just in time for it to graze the tip of his nose. He took the opportunity to roll himself out of the way, and hop back to his feet. "Well, at least you're a better fighter than most," he remarked, commenting on how well she was fighting. Probably the only person in the mansion who could best him in hand-to-hand was Logan, and that was usually because Logan could simply outlast him due to his healing factor. Morgan had come close a few times, but he could never quite do it. Logan had said it was because the young man wasn't vicious enough.
He half-growled, half-grinned at the girl. If someone who knew him saw this, they would have noticed that his canine teeth seemed a bit sharper, and slightly elongated. This girl, however, probably wouldn't notice it. "But I think it's time to go all out," he said, smiling darkly. He darted forwards once more, swinging an obvious punch at her face.
{Block it! I wanna do something cool before Logan finally interrupts!}

"Whatever you decide to put on it except anchovies." She told Jillian before jerking her head to the side when Lance tossed his beer bottle into the sink. "Nice toss." She said looking at the bottle in the sink before returning her gaze to Lance.

(You are most difinitely right about the Flash cartoon. I'd love to see it done, but I don't have the know-how. And since you insist, I'll have her block the blow, and let you have your fun. ...then I get mine....)
Rogue made her way to the kitchen for some food. As she got closer seh could smell something cooking, and it made her stomach rumble. She got to the door as some new guy, who was obviously the cook, announced that the food was ready. "Did I hear someone say dinner?" she asked as she made her way into the room. "'Cuz I'm starvin'!"
******
23 was astonished by the way this guy just kept talking. He didn't ever seem to shut up. Not to mention the fact that he was still evading her. She was getting fed up with this fight, and she wanted to get it done with. She let him stand and take up his stance. She had been taught by her sensei to fight with honor, and she did whenever the opportunity arrose. As soon as he was back up he spoke again, some non-sense about going all out, and then aimed a punch right at her face. She blocked it quite easily. If this was going all out, she truly pitied him.

Valerie made a squeaking noise as she looked up at Markus, hair was covering her face and she resembled a female Cousin It. Pulling the blonde locks away from her eyes she gave a grin, which could only be described as mad.
"You sure....can... also get me to that flea infested kitchen...Im starving!"
Valerie, with a suprising amount of speed grabbed Mizu from the top of her head into a fist stranglehold, giving him a fair amount of evil looks. The water critter didnt have enough time to react and didnt fancy fighting of his mistress...
"This little moron ate my money!"
she growled as Mizu squirmed in her grip.
"But I did you a favour...noone uses Yen here in Bayville...your the moron!"
His comment fell on deaf ears as Valerie still clutched him around the neck, Mizu folded his arms impatiently as the teen grinned insanely holding out her free hand to the male

Markus caught the gleam in her eye just after she pulled her hair from her face and calmly watched the interaction with growing interest. It was so nice to know that he wouldn't be bored while he was here. "Aaaahhhhh....but the wet one has a valid point." He said mildly not wanting to earn her wrath. "Yen isn't a common form of currency...on the other hand there is a currency exchange down town somewhere...so he..." Markus glanced at the creature in question secretly amazed how he was taking the whole thing in stride. "...didn't have to eat it." He said taking her hand and hoisting her to her feet. "I'm Markus by the way. Pleasure to meet you." He said after making sure she was steady on her feet.

{I've been watching too much anime, methinks.}
Blocking was exactly what he had intended her to do. From this position, he uncurled his hand from a fist, and grabbed on to her arm. Of course, he wasn't going to hang on for long. He just needed the extra leverage. His legs coiled and uncoiled, and an instant, he was airborne once more, using the girl as a springboard to leapfrog himself over her.
From where they were standing right now, there was a wall close enough for him to land against, and he did just that, coiling his legs underneath him as he made contact, and the pushing himself off again towards the girl. He leapt in such a way that he could spin in mid-air, sending a powerful spinning kick towards her exposed back.

X-23's eyes widened slightly as Morgan grabbed her arm and used her as a springboard. She hadn't been expecting that, or the fact that he was now coming at her back. She reacted by ducking, but wasn't quite quick enough. His kick managed to clip her in the back of the head.
She stumbled forward, her head ringing from the blow. But as she shook her head to recover, her senses expanded to take in more than just the immediate, and she smelled something. She froze in a half crouch. It was him. Her eyes narrowed to slits and a fierce growl errupted from her throat. The very next instant, she sprang from the corridor, and pelted towards the stairs, her four hand claws flashing in the artificial light.

"Alright then a supreme and a meat-lovers? That should cover all taste buds including mine." Jillann said proclaiming her choice. She walked over to the phone and dialed up the closest pizza place to the house. "Ok we want 2 large pizzas, one supreme and one meat-lovers...." she told the guy on the phone doing the casual welcome to and what can I get you procedure. Ok she mumbled writing down the price. "Thanks bye!" with that she hung up the phone and counted out the money.

Conner winced at Aarin's atrocious accent. The smell of the food tugged at his hungry, hungry stomach but he ignored it for a moment to make himself another cup of tea. He glanced at the door to see Rogue enter the kitchen and nodded by way of a greeting.
"Does anyone want a cup of tea or coffee while I'm here?" he asked.

Letting Mizu fall the floor in a little puddle the Blonde allowed herself to be pulled up from the ground, rocking on the balls of her feet when she was up, after making sure she was stable she leaned forward in a formal looking bow towards Markus. she then righted herself and smiled to the male.
"Valerie Bell...and that little critter there is Mizu...if you hadnt already guessed I deal with water in my everyday mutant life!"
Valerie poked herself on the chest importantly while Mizu stood up and also bowed towards Markus. He then stuck his tounge out and gave the other a large rasberry before diving into the Blondes leg and dissapeard from sight. Valerie rolled her eyes and sighed
"Ignore him...he wouldnt know manners if they crept up on him and chomped on his watery backside...so where did Mystique dig you up from then?"
She walked past Markus and made her way to the living room.

"Pleasure madam." He said with a smile as he watched Mizu dive back into the girl. "Me?" He asked retoricly. "I ran into her in Arezona...or was it Pennsylvania....whichever." He said shutting the door behind them. "I did a few odd jobs for her. You know, sneak there spy on him kind of deal." He explained. "I took two weeks off for some personal sanity and there were a few messages asking me to head down here...so here I am." He said with half a shrug. "As for my power. I'm a changeling of sorts." He said demonstrating by shifting into a copy of Valerie complete with the wet hair. He shifted back. "And..." He turned his hand into a blade. "Neat stuff like that." He said glancing around the parlor.

"Tea would be nice," said Victoria, raising an eyebrow slightly and nodding at Conner's offer. Reaching into a nearby cabinet, she felt around for a moment before pulling out three large plates; One for herself, one for Conner and the last, but not least, for the unnamed Australian cook. Closing the cabinet and turning around again, she was just about to pass out the dishes and scoot to the front of the food-line when Rouge made her appearance in the kitchen.
"It's nice to know that you're hungry as well," said Victoria, winking at the Southern before pulling a fourth plate from out of the cabinet. "And it's nice to hear that your accent is back," she mumbled as she passed by Rouge to the silverware drawer. "'Cause having two Australian's in the room at once might have been overkill..." she added as a joke, jabbing a finger at the cook before reaching for the forks.

Rogue nodded back to Conner when he acknowleged her. "I'll take a cup of tea if you don't mind. It'd feel mighty nice about now."
Then Victoria made her comment about the accent. "I'd have to agree with you there. It's good to be me again, and not John. He wasn't the most pleasant person I've ever become." She shuddered slightly at the memory of his thoughts and things that had invaded her mind on contact. He was still somewhere in her mind, but he wasn't at the surface, and she was glad about it. Shaking it off she reached for a plate and joined Victoria in the food line.
*****
He was on the front stairs and headded her way. Her nose told her that much as she ran. She burst onto the second floor landing and spotted him for the first time. This was the man she was after. He was the reason she was a killer and a weapon. It was all his fault. He'd pay for that now.
She had the high ground and thus the advantage. She'd use any advantage to its fullest extent, for she knew he was as good as she was. After all, they'd been trained by the same people. They were the same, and it was his fault.
Quick as a thought, X-23 leapt high into the air. At the apex of her jump she extended her right leg and unsheathed the toe claw all in one fluid movement. She aimed right for him, but didn't expect to hit him. If what she'd been told was true, he'd evade the attack. This was merely her way of saying hello.
