Inuki Star Under an umbrella, Freya sipped her drink while Porter was sitting down next to her in the shadow. "I know you think this is stupid but if you thought so, why did you bother playing?" she asked him innocently. Regina nodded to Jaime. "She's okay... Her father passed away last night and it seems that she's on her way back here tonight. She'll be back in time for the luau. (sp?) I've been planning for the last few days."

Jamie nodded. "Well, it's good that she's coming back so soon." Jamie said with a slight smile. He was thinking of something else to say when he heard the rain start. He suddenly broke out grinning, and ran to his room. He grabbed his Katana, while checking to make sure Jacen's was still safe, and then he ran outside, and looked up to the sky. There were few things he loved more than the rain, and he took any chance to be in it.
He sat on the beach for a good five minutes, letting the rain run over his face, and then stood up slowly. He pulled the Katana out of it's sheath, and thought back to the exercises Penny had showed him. He slowly went through them, the rain falling all around him. As he went through the exercises, he gradually built up the speed, until he made a mistake. Every mistake he worked through, until soon he could do a few of them at battle speed.
Eventually he stopped, and dropped to his knee for a moment, breathing heavily. He'd been outside for a good two hours, and his muscles weren't used to that kind of exercise. He sheathed the Katana, and stepped back into the beach house, dripping with rainwater and sweat.

OOC: Ah, comic time comic time...
IC:
Penny was still wearing her business jacket and pants while she walked through the sand barefoot. She had her bag over her shoulder and her shoes in her hand. Jamie had been working in the distance under the rain. Smiling she walked up to the beach house behind him, she was proud of his progress over the last year. It was somewhat soothing to her, the rain and the sand. If ever I were to retire from this gig, I think I'm living here.
It was good to be returning to her friends, her extended family. Although, without Jacen there it felt a little hallow. Having him around changed the dynamics of everything she felt. A change she never expected but would have to push through. She knew the reality. He was his own man, not one of Xavier's soldiers. Ah, chalk it up to being a teenager where reason fails sometimes.
She entered the house almost silently and scared the crap out of Jamie by putting a hand on his shoulder, "Looking good out there Jamie. We'll take that to the Danger Room when we get back."
"You scared me," He gasped.
She smiled and put an arm around his shoulder and walked into the kitchen where Regina was with a few random people, "That's my job, keeping you guys on your toes."
"How are you doing?" He and Regina asked almost in unison. Regina then asked about her sisters.
Penny nodded, "Actually, I am doing well. I made my peace with it at the funeral. Avril won't understand until she's older and Dawn is okay so far... Alicia, the step b***h, pushed for a quick will reading to get me out of there."
Regina sighed and looked concerned at that, "What happened with that? And since when did you own a business suit?"
"Apparently my father was a bit angry at Alicia when he revised his will," Penny sat down in a chair, "The girls have nice funds for when they're 18 to go to school and such... I have control of the house, his business shares, and everything else. I have no idea what to do with it, but it's all in my name now."
Regina's jaw dropped, "Are you serious?"
Penny nodded and smiled at her and Jamie, "Quite... And you know me, I like to gloat when it comes to her."
------------------
Porter leaned back on his arms sitting on the beach with Freya. He joked with her, "Besides, I was trying to impress the ladies. Now what was your goal in this match? Just to have fun or did you have something else in mind?"

Danielle was up in her room sleeping, when the rain woke her up. She got out of bed and desided to go for a walk. She always loved walking in the rain. She walked out the door, and made her way down the board walk.
After about five minutes of walking; her hair was soaking wet, and her clothes stuck to her body. But she didn't care she liked it when that happened.

Wanda sighed. She didn't know what to do with her brother. The atmosphere was tense and they were basically talking about the weather at the most. The sun was setting so there was no point in lying on the beach anymore.
"Any ideas?" she asked him as if she knew he would understand that she was asking him what they should do next now.
----------
"Actually, I had a plan and it was to have you for myself for a little while," answered Freya. She grinned at him. "I knew you guys wouldn't be able to win againts my spirits and if I was stronger, I would have won the tournament as well. But at the same time, it was a good opportunity for Wanda to keep her self-control and see how powerful she really is."
She passed a hand through her hair and gazed at the waves, waiting for his reaction to this answer.

"Yes please," Sonya managed to say to Markus as he helped peel off the underwear. "Thank you very much," she said, not minding the way his appearance changed, "By the way, my name is Sonya, what's yours?"
Sasha quickly ran inside to escape the rain. Even though she was soaked, her wet clothes only made her look better. She walked into the living room, and saw Markus and Sonya close together. "It's about time Sonya," she said, "But get a room you two."
She went upstais to her room to change out of her clothes.
Sonya blushed dark red. "Sorry... Sasha's usually friendlier than that," she said. Noticing that she was still wet, she went to go get towels. "I can always find this big one," she said, "Here," handing it over to Markus.
As Sasha was changing, she noticed something around her ankle. It was one of Pietro's thongs. "You've got to be kidding," she said to herself.

"My names Markus, its nice to meet you Sonya..." After concentrating he managed to straighten himself out. "There, all better..." He watched the other lady walk in and just as quickly stroll out. lookedd back at Sonya. "Thats alright, no offence taken and I'm fine thanks for offering..." He waved off the towel. "No need for it, the water simply soaks into me so I'll dry off in a second or two...but to much water and my body starts to fall apart...kinda like playdough..."

ooc: jedi and i wanna move ahead, so if inuki and jack want to continue their thing, that is the beauty of the comic time line XD
ic:
The next evening was the luau. Regina got Penny into the idea and once Porter was back in the xmen beach house, the party got serious. Tiki sculptures and flowers adorned the beach directly outside of the pool area and the pool itself was fully decked out in the Hawaiian scene. Regina had gone to great lengths to make it what it was, and she was thrilled with the outcome.
A bar decorated in the style was off to the side, Penny mixing drinks occasionally for the younger kids but on the lighter side. They were scheduled to return back to the institute after a day of recouping.
"Miss Jacen eh...?" Regina asked, sitting at one of the 3 barstools.
"Yeah. He'd make a mean hawaiian chicken I bet..." Penny said with a sigh, mixing up a dacquiri for Regina. "Porter's doing a great job though. Look at him go."
"I guess I'm not th eonly one that can cook." Regina laughed, watching Porter show off for the younger members. "What a dork..."

Jamie looked at the Luau decorations impressed, and was walking around drinking some lemonade when he remembered something. He almost slapped his forehead, he couldn't believe he'd forgotten it. He ran up to his room at top speed and grabbed Jacen's katana, before bringing it back outside.
He walked over to where Regina and Penny were sitting, and looked at the two of them. "Hey Penny, I'm really sorry I forgot this yesterday." He said, giving her the katana. "Oh, and is there anything I can do to help with the lighting?" He asked looking around. "I mean, it looks great as it is, but if there's anything in particular. . ." He said, trailing off.

*back before the time jump with Freya*
Goddamn she is good looking... okay, good job Romeo. Let's keep checking out her body while Regina is sitting a house away... that would kill her. Okay, I just need to get laid or something... it has been four years since a woman even remotely looked my way. Now there is a flock... Jonothan Porter had always been driven by very few things before his self made isolation from the world: the hunt of his targets, beer, and sex. Once he escaped from the program, everything about him changed and his entire feeling about himself and what he did.
And god was this one a flirt. Was she only 18? She talked like she was older than Storm.
"Not that I can complain about the company, but why on Earth would you want me to yourself? I'm an Xavier teacher, isn't that somewhat against your mode of thinking."
---
*party time*
"Jamie, your are a darling," Penny took the katana from his hands and held onto it like it held the secrets of the world. She looked up at the sky where it was kind of cloudy, "Can you take care of that for us?"
"I can't part the clouds," He answered.
"Nope, but you can give us the illusion of stars. That would make it perfect," She answered and put on a half faked smile. It was almost perfect but it would do. Might as well enjoy their last nights at the beach with the friends she wouldn't trade for anything.
"Morgan," She called over, "Why don't you guys play for us tonight! I think we need a bonfire too."

"Againts my teachings? Dear, dear Jonathan... You know nothing of what I'm trying to do and you are already analyzing me?" Freya couldn't help but giggled, her long hair floating in the wind. "Flirting and talking with a man isn't againts my teachings. No matter the side he is on."
She stood up and walked up to the waves until she had water to her ankles. She looked at him and smiled. "I am a guide, Porter. Not a judge. I help people to find their way and if they are in my way, I fight them. It's that simple."
With closed eyes, she enjoyed the strong breath of the sea on her skin as the sun started to set.

*back in time*
How old was this girl really? She had looks to kill and a brain that was more deadly. It was the brain that started to intrigue him. How did she get to be this way? He was pretty sure not even Xavier was this idealic at 18. He followed her down to the water line and he could smell the rain on the air. It started to pour. He was aware of Jamie moving into the beach house.
"Come on, we don't want to catch our death out here," He put a hand on her back and tried to escort her back to the beach house. When he touched her back he withdrew his hand and looked at it. What am I doing? This isn't me. This isn't the me now. I am not 18 again. I am an Xavier teacher and I have committed myself to Regina. He stopped back to think as he lead them back to the house through the rain. Was he acting on his own feelings or had he picked them up from somebody else? The part that scared him was that he couldn't tell.
"Afraid of a little rain?" Freya asked.
Afraid of myself... He thought. "So how did you get your role, Freya? How did you become a guide."

The rain started to fall when Pietro was about to answer her. Wanda quickly jumped on her feet and ran to the brotherhood's house.
"Sweety bum! You came back to me!" said a sadly familiar voice.
"I came here to protect myself from the rain," she flatly answered Toad.
"Let me get you a towel to dry yourself!" the frog boy told her before vanishing somewhere in the beach house.
The scarlet witch sighed. She was now stuck with the baffoons. However, she still had her slaves. "Since we'll be stuck here for a while, let's watch a good movie. I want to see...hmmm..."Constantine" with the sexy Keanu Reeves and popcorn," she said to her brother.
--------------------
"Oh. The story of my life you want? Sorry but that's something I rather keep to myself," Freya whispered to Porter's ear softly. She saw him shivered a bit and looked even more confused and lost. "Your powers are driving you a bit crazy I see. You don't know if you are attracted to me or to your present girlfriend. I think I can assure you that what you feel about me is only lust. Love is for the other one. And it's better this way. I have someone already and I don't like platonic relationships."
She leaned againts the wall and gazed at the horizon. She wasn't playing with Porter but she was amused by his reactions. He was starting to do what she was intending to do: ask questions. Her curiosity, however, didn't allow her to reveal her true intentions to him just yet.
Maybe just some minutes more... she thought. Yes. Just a little more before asking him and leaving him forever.

"That's a bit presumptuous of you, Freya," Porter answered having been taken quite aback by her forwardness, "You don't know everything about me or my abilities or those I love. Or do those spirits of yours work in ways that not even Xavier can get to?"
He looked back up towards the house to see who was under the patio. His better half was beginning to grow uncomfortable with the situation at hand and wanted to go back to Regina. Freya was like playing with fire it seemed.
