The sound of 'something' that's really pissed reaches Kris ears. "........." So, he hadn't just imagined it, damn... Armoring up(to lazy to write that again) and deciding he should face whatever the hell is making that noise, he stands his ground, in the center of the main hall, and waits. As he waits, he forms a standard b*****d sword in his left hand, he lets the tip rest on the ground. Mentally, he wishes that this sort of thing happened to other people, hopefully the one who have had this comming most of their lives.

"I haven't seen her yet." He admited. "'ll have to go take a peek at her sometime tomarrow as I imagine Sasha and Pietro will want quality time with her." He took a bite of his salad. "It is surprising though....i never thought of Pietro as the...." He gropped for the word. "Fatherly type....I'm sure he'll adjust to it though..." He nodded also somewhat at a loss. "Yea, unusual for this time of year." He took another sip from his drink. "Soooo....what have you been up to this last few months?" He asked because it was the first thing that popped into his head.

Pietro held the baby, rocking Ana back and forth gently. It was weird how comfortable she felt in his arms. He'd held babies before, but all he'd been able to do back then was wonder how the hell a mother could stand to carry one of these things for so long. But with Ana, it didn't feel like a burden at all. She was nearly weightless, or so it felt.
The necklace was tangled up in Ana's hands, almost as though it was her way of marking her new toy. Once she'd fallen asleep, Pietro laid her down in the makeshift crib that Beast had erected, and listened to Sasha talk to Beast about Wanda.
"McCoy," he said, a small amount of irritation in his voice. "If we're all done throwing our weight around now, I'm letting Wanda out."
"Son... I understand your feelings, but please be reasonable. She kidnapped your son for what appears to have been awfully selfish reasons--"
"Yes... but that all stems from the fact that the last time she got locked up, I just left her there. The way I see it, throwing her back in a cell is a huge step backward. I think maybe now, she's ready for us to trust her."
Without waiting for further approval from Beast, Pietro gave Sasha a quick kiss on the cheek before grabbing the keys to the cell. He really must've changed. Back in the day, he would have simply torn the door down, without any warning or permission. Now, at least, there wouldn't be any collateral damage.

The nice thing about the Institute is that it had needed ammo in convenient positions. Well, so did Porter's car. Before Tetsuo went insane on him, Porter pulled a box out of under the passenger seat and loaded his pistol with tranq pellets. He had them when he couldn't use a gun... especially on a student.
"Gen, be careful," Porter warned when she came back to the garage with Scott. The human was gone in Tetsuo and if Porter's own semi telepathic abilities weren't working on him, not much was going to, "Tetsuo, I'm going to have to neutralize you if you don't gain control back... if you can hear me at all."

Cathy gave Jamie a quick hug and an affectionet pat on the cheek. "Thanks for the dance..." She sighed and Interupted Raze and Rachael. "Ok you two, time to head home...Harry wants to close shop..."
Rachael and Raze both nodded and made their way to the exit as Cathy motioned for Penny and the others to follow suit.

Gen nodded and stayed back. "If that fails... I'll freeze his feet... and tail." she suggested, worried for Tetsuo but knowing that the institute had some where that would be able to defrost him with no ill effects.
Regina watched from the shadows, keeping herself scarce and making sure that Porter didn't get hurt. Or anyone else for that matter. She was still a senior member of the team and last she checked, it was her duty to keep those not ready for combat safe.

"Told you that you still had a few moves left!," Penance yelled at Jacen as they both were dancing quite feverishly.
"Of course!," he shouted back, "But they're a lil' rusty!"
"Not from this point of view!" With that, Jacen felt a hard swat on his backside. Immediately, he turned around with a rather mean look on his face. That look immediately turned to a smirk as he wrapped his arms around Penance and gave her a kiss.
"You know, you keep this up, you're going to wind up in....." The music shut off as Jacen was finished speaking so all that was heard was a very loud, "trouble!" Feeling a bit embarrassed, Jacen chuckled to himself and noticed as he looked around that everyone had already made their way out the door.
"....That's our cue, babe," Jacen said, one arm still loosely resting around Penance's waist. He had only had a few beers, but still, it was good enough to let him relax for a little while at least. When they walked out the door, Jacen noticed the rest of his comrades hanging out by the vehicles, just waiting.
"Sorry..."
"For keeping everyone waiting," Penance interjected, "I haven't danced in awhile." The others seemed to be ok with it, and Jacen, for whatever reason, reached into pocket and found a cigar that he had lying around for however long. He couldn't remember.
"...Told myself I'd quit...but what the hell ever," Jacen said as he ripped open the seal, bit off the end, then formed a tiny orb of energy in his hand. He needed a lighter, and Pyro was nowhere nearby.

Tetsuo continued down the hall, further into the institute. With each passing minute, he looked less and less like his normal self. Face so deformed and reptilian, it looked nothing like a human's face. He walked more like a raptor, holding his exagerated left arm up like a wing...fingers streched out and tiped with deadly hooked claws. A ridge of short spines ran from his shoulders to near the end of his tail...He was a horrid sight...like something from a horror movie.

Kris contunues to wait, but deciding that standing in the middle of the fllor, as if saying 'attack me,' that moving out of direct sight might be the best case. In this case, it's sitting on the third from the bottom stair, his sword between his legs, his hands resting on the pomel. "......" With some luck, nothing would happen, but he never relies on luck, so he understands that he's probably doomed to fight. But either way, in some way, he's getting screwed. Smiling under the armor at this irony, he continues to wait for whatever the hell is making those loud moises.

"Okay, Gen, let's do this your way first," Porter nodded to her, "I don't want to shoot him with anything unless we have to. We need to subdue him before somebody else does who isn't going to be so forgiving."
Porter wished McCoy was around. He was big enough and had enough gadgets that they would probably work. Porter boomed down the hallway, "Tetsuo, STOP."

Gen stood next to Porter, ready to do what she had to in order to stop Tetsuo. She felt it was her fault and she wanted to right what she had done wrong. Wishing he would come to on her own though, she raised her arms and felt the air cooling around them. "Snap out of it Tetsuo...." she whispered.

"Okay, Logan Jr.," Penance popped the locks on her car and got into the driver seat. She was clearly able to drive, she never really had a buzz that evening. It healed out of her system pretty quick, "Okay, pile in guys. I want to get home sooner than later."
Jacen gave her a raised eyebrow and she smirked this time, "I want to know what kind of trouble I'm in." He just shook his head and laughed. God it was good to be back to normal. Despite her feeling of time confusion, the feeling of longing and loss was strong. Being back at Jacen's side or him at hers was an extremely good feeling.
"Porter's not back," Penance said as more people crammed into her car than probably should have, "Hope everything is okay."
"He's probably just playing the role of good teacher," Jacen rolled down the window as they pulled out of the driveway. Penance drove slower than usual back to the Institute. She didn't want to get into trouble for having either underage drinkers in her car or having more people in it than needed to be. When back at the Institute, Penance and Jacen took the back stairway up to the dorm levels... completely oblivious to what was going on with Tetsuo.
Walking down the hallway, Penance put her hand on Jacen's back, "I hope I haven't come on too strong today. It's just been slowly kicking in that I have a years worth of... whatever built up. You're like a drug I can't get enough of today."

"Try to work at his feet. That will at least start to slow his movement," Porter wasn't truely sure that would work, but he hoped it would have some effect. At least if it made the guy mad, he would come back towards him rather than heading out where more students were located.

Hearing Porter yell to him...he snarled, turning around. He charged at them going full speed. THen, about 20ft away from them, he lept at them, swinging his legs foward, long toeclaws ready. He roared viciously, showing the razor-sharp teeth that lined the inside of his snout-like mouth.

Rachael was leaning agaisnt Cathy in the car. She dozed off as they started driving.
"I'll put her to bed as soon as we get home...I've a feeling she had just a bit to much to drink tonight..." Cathy said quietly as they went and as soon as they got there she carried Rachael to bed and followed Pennence and Jacen down the hallway not saying anything. Just walking. "Either of you two yahoo's hungry?" She asked out of the blue.
