Seeing an opening for some easy disaster Fate leapt on the junctures concerning the falling chandelier. Imperceptible lines of chance settle around the scene and draw tightly to one outcome. Quite improbable, but o so satisfying. As Logan's claws sheared through the crystal the resulting shards were flung with great force into surrounding circutry and plumbing. Several small holes began to leak as the wall filled with water from burst plumbing. Security systems go haywire as the electrical shorts play havoc on the mansion's systems. A loose wire causing a bypass of the circuit breaker sees to that. Fate chuckles to himself, even if he didn't dare get directly involved the collateral damage he could wreak could very well be catastrophic. Now if only I had some popcorn, or could locate a gas main. He thought with a sneer and a chuckle.

X-23 hung from the chandalier cord, watching to see the effect of her handy work. Logan didn't move out of the way. Instead he sliced through the metal and glass and came away unscathed. Slightly put out, X-23 dropped to the entrance hall floor, and approached claws at the ready.

Rogue accepted her tea, and put her now empty plate into the sink. She sipped it and enjoyed the rush of warmth that flowed down her throat. It did wonders, and soothed her from the inside out. It had been a hard day. First the news about Raze, then the attack on the mall. She sighed to herself and let the warmth of the tea work its magic.

With a hint of relief, Logan scowled heavily at the girl as she landed with no problems ands approached, claws at the ready. Even though it was obvious she was starting to wear out, Logan kept his guard up, just in case the whole thing was a clever ruse.
"What are ya after kid?" asked Wolverine, not taking his eyes of her for a second.
Meanwhile, the room around them seemed to go haywire as the lighting started to flicker awkwardly. Growling heavily, Logan guessed that it was one of the New Recruits fooling around just for the hell of it. He deal with the little troublemaker later, but for their sake he hoped they were brilliant enough to stay out of X-23's path.

Fate, having expended his chances for mischief, decided to go see what other havoc he could wreak in the house. He tiptoed across the downstairs hall and towards the kitchen. Almost reflexively he destroyed several delicate electronic devices on his way over.

X-23's eyes narrowed at the question. He thought she was a child! Didn't he see her for the threat she was? Didn't he know that she was every bit as deadly as he?
"I AM NOT A CHILD!!!!!" she roared. And out of pure fury she swung at him with both fists.

"No." he answered Both Aarin and Victoria. "Kevin and I stopped off at a fire at some store a little ways off from the mall. There was this mutant there who seemed pretty geared up for a fight." He put the milk and teabags back where they belonged and turned to look at the pair of them. "He had the ability to increase heat and I got hit with molten metal from a pole I attempted to hit him with." he finished explaining. A popping and crackling sound coming from the corridor reached his ears but he didn't take any closer notice of it.

"Oh," said Victoria, eyes growing slightly wider as Conner explained the cause of his injuries. Nodding her head politely, her attention slowly switched back to her pasta and tea as she started to mull over everything in her head. Apparently, the pyromaniac at the mall was just one of the many bit of chaos exploding around Bayville in the time she was absent.
Picking up her fork again, she was about to finish off her first helping of pasta when she too noticed the odd, struggling noises from the living room. Wincing slightly as the sounds of shattering glass, running water and metal on metal were added to mix, she closed her eyes and let her face fall into her hands. From the sounds of it, chaos was brewing in the front hall again.
"Please tell me I'm hearing things," she mumbled, sliding down in her chair to avoid any 'save the world' responsibilities that might be thrown upon her again.
====
"Yes you are!" said Logan, who did not back down at her advancing roar. Blocking her oncoming attack with nothing more then his own claws, Wolverine was able to stop her momentum and keep her still.
"You are! Even thought they tried taking that away from you."

X-23 didn't want to hear what he had to say. So with a gutteral yell, she used his hold on her to help her springboard backwards away from him. She landed a few feet away from him, and proceeded to rush him. Once she was close enough, she took to the air right foot extended. Then at the last second, she unsheathed her toe claw to hopefully put him off his guard. If it landed, the kick would send him flying straight at the front door.
******
Rogue had been listening to the exchange going on around her. It seemed as if Pyro, and his buddy hadn't been the only two Brotherhood members out and about. She wondered if these were the only two incidents or not, but she doubted she'd find out any time soon. The lights had started flickering, and there were odd noises comming from somewhere down the hall that sounded like a major fight. It was probably a couple of the new recruits getting into things. Logan would probably take care of it. Judging by the amount of noise, however, he was going to be livid. She winced at the thought of how much trouble the newbies would be in once he got ahold of them.
"No you're not hearing things, unless I am too," she said turning to Victoria. "It's probably some new guys. I'm not about to go in there and investigate, just incase Logan shows up. I don't want him to think I had anything to do with it and risk getting punished."

As expected, X-23 was to stubborn to stop and listen to what he had to say, so barely an instant after he blocked her attack, she used it against him by bouncing her momentum backwards. She then proceeded to charge back at him, an attack that Logan would have broken through in an instant had she not caught him off guard. Her foot colliding with his chest, and with a growl of annoyance, Logan flew back several feet from the impact.
====
"Fair enough," said Victoria, nodding her head and agreeing with Rouge's reasoning 100%. Sitting up in her chair again like nothing had distracted her in the first place, she forked the last bit of pasta into her mouth before getting up from the table and crossing the kitchen. After dumping her used dished into the already full sink, she returned to the refrigerator and opened it up, just in case it decided to magically refill since the last time she looked.
"Nothing..." she mumbled, shutting the door full of air for the second time today. Straightening up, she leaned against the freezer and glanced at the Australian just as there was a loud 'oof' of pain from other room.
"Any chance you bought dessert?" she asked curious, ignoring the sound completely.

Stretching out her long limbs Zion opened one eye to see her pitbulls face in her own, the dogs tounge hanging out of it's mouth at a lopsided angle making the expression on Haze's face a dumb one. Snorting Zion pulled the covers over her head and turned on her side away from the canine. The dog on the other hand grabbed the covers with it's mouth and ran over to the other side of the room, which in turn yanked them off of it's sleeping master. "Haze!" Zion growled sitting straight up and sneering at the puppy, "The hell ya think your doing?" The dog yapped and started pacing infront of the closed door. The red head looked at the clock which was blinking 12:00. "No wonder my alarm didn't go off...merf."
Zion got out of bed and dressed herself in a pair of gray sweatpants, an over sized white t-shirt with the Tool band logo on the front and a pair of jack skellington slippers. "Ok lets get you outside to the bathroom." She opened the door and followed the pup downstairs and out the front door where Zion sat on the steps while Haze ran around the front yard happily. Zion yawned and put her head in her hands, "I need coffee..." She muttered to herself.

When he heard Conner's explanation, Aarin suddenly looked awkwardly uncomfortable, but quickly tried to cover up by responding to Victoria. "Eh, didn't think of it. Maybe there's something around here?"

Conner caught Aarin's uncomfortable look but didn't say anything. So that rat b*****d is with the brotherhood then. I'll have to pay him a visit. He turned and placed his cup in the sink and smiled as a plan started to formulate in his head. He grabbed his plate and levered a large amount of Aarin's home-cooked dinner onto it and began to steadily shovel the food away, he hadn't eaten all day and he was going to need all the energy he could get. damn this is good food he thought as he ate and planned.

Taking a gamble Fate removed the i'm-not-here veil he had been holding and walked into the kitchen like he actually belonged in the mansion. With a jaunty wave he snagged a plate of food and headed to the refrigirator. "Hey there, how ya doin." At the same time he activated the mistake-me-for-someone-you-vaguely-recognize-as-a-student juncture.

(Onion, we need to take this outside so 23 can get out of there when SHIELD shows.)
X-23 dropped to the floor after her kick landed. She walked over to him watching his every move as she let him stand back up. She was warry because her attack had succeeded. He'd blocked all the others, but hadn't blocked this one. Was it some sort of ploy to catch her off guard?
*******
"Try the freezer. There might be some icecream or something," Rogue answered the others.
Just then one of the newbies entered the kitchen. "Hey. You happen to know who's causin' the rukus out there? From the sounds of it they're gonna be in a whole lotta trouble with Logan once he shows up."

"There's not," said Victoria plainly, shaking her head slowly at Rouge's statement. The freezer was the first thing she checked when she walked into the kitchen some minutes ago. I was empty then and she was certain that, like the fridge, it was still void of anything interesting.
"You and me finished off the last of the ice-cream the other night, remember?" she added, with a bit of a shrug. As if she was disappointed in it's lack of ice cream, Victoria peeled herself from the freezer door, returned to the kitchen. Pulling out another chair, she turned it around and sat in it backwards as another kid entered the kitchen with a warm greeting. She returned it silently, even though she couldn't place a name to the face.
====
Having landed just in front of the front door, Logan picked himself up with no problem and stared back at her as edged closer. It was obvious that she was caught of guard, but that did not mean he would let his guard down.
"Talk ta me kid," he said, six claws at the ready should she choose to attack. "I'm one person who'll understand."
