Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Like a chameleon, yes?" asked Professor Xavier, though he knew exactly what Owen meant. He also knew the extend of the young boy's powers, and his activity with them for the most part, but he kept that bit of information. Owen's body language showed that he was relaxing some in the warmth of the parlor, but he was still apprehensive.

"Care to tell me a little about yourself?" the elder asked, calmly. "Or would you prefer I go first? I can answer any questions you may have about me or this institute."

Eyes darting to the three females Victoria shared the space with, Victoria caught the tail end of their conversation, and Becca's laughter and suddenly wondered what was so funny. Arching an eyebrow with a hint of a bemused expression, her dark eyes narrowed for an instant before focusing on Morgan. He had just acknowledged her existence again, but answering her rather tame and unpersonal question. She had more, of course, but part of her did not know where to start.

"Hm, same old," Victoria answered with a slight shrug, meaning to say things had changed, yet not nesicary for the worse or for the best. "We've gotten some new teammates since you've left though," she added, finishing with a sigh, knowing Morgan was thinking about when he left, just like she was.

"It's not that bad," she said in reference to the question about enjoying snow. "Though it's fun too to curl up by a fire and dry off."

As for the second question, she let Sarah answer the question for her, not sure how she ought to answer. She bit her lip as Kara spoke about coco, wanting to make a comment about it being poisoned. Though that would hardly be a wise to say now, considering she was not attempting to rip out anyone's eyes.

"That's fine." Blade shrugged to Shandra. In reality, she wasn't looking forward to explaining why she suddenly disappeared. It was . . . difficult to say the least. Blade wouldn't be surprised if Xavier wanted her to inform her parents of the whole truth. Something that wasn't going to happen until she knew for a fact that she wasn't a danger to anyone. "Hmm, let's go to the kitchen and get something to drink." Blade smiled.

"Mmm-Hmm, yes," said Professor Xavier and with a nod between sips from his cup. "This is very much a school. A school for young people like yourself to learn about themselves and their powers, and that they are more of a great gift to them as opposed to a curse."

Blade eagerly followed Shandra as she barely kept her stomach from growling. How she managed to do that, the world will never know. All that mattered to Blade was she was getting a good meal. It had been awhile since she wasn't on her own so she was happy.

"Umm... What just happened? Weren't you trying to kill her a couple seconds ago?" Morgan asked, raising an eyebrow at the current exchange between Kara and Sarah. Then again, he hung around with David, so mood switches like this weren't that much of a surprise to him anymore.

"You know what, never mind. Nothing should surprise me anymore," he added, putting a hand to his forehead, and just shaking his head about the whole thing. He then turned his attention back to Victoria.

"New people, huh? I suppose this is one of the newbies?" Morgan asked, motioning to the third girl, whose name he didn't know yet.

"This is Becca." Sarah said to Morgan since he hadn't met her till just now. "But yea, she joined up with us after you and Victoria got into that fight with each other over that thing that attached itself to you back at that lab..." There was a slight awkward moment as Sarah brought up the subject that they were avoiding like the plaque. Not thinking about it and being Sarah she kept going. "So are you two ready to put that behind ya'll now? Sure you two fought over it but isn't it about time to bury the hatchet so to speak...you fought...it happens even with friends..." She assured them both. "Now you two go talk about it between yerselves and me and Becca here will give ya some privacy so ya'll kin talk." She said quickly walking over and nudging them both off to the side before her ears perked. Kara had uttered the magic words when it came to hot coco. Marshmallows. "Oh that sounds nice." Sarah said and couldn't resist picking the calico up and petting her.

Shandra walked into the kitchen before spinning on her heels to face Blade. With a tilt of her head, for no apparent reason, she turned back around and filled up a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for herself.

"So anything in mind? I can cook you up something while you wait..." Shandra offered, "Or I guess you can find something you want and do it yourself..."
