Victoria knew that her appearance wouldn't go unnoticed. Sure enough, within moments Narcissa and Aaron started drilling her with questions. She secretly hated answering questions, but it only seemed fair since they were curious enough to ask. She took a small breath before telling them, however, as she still couldn't quite believe it herself.
"Raze is gone," she started simply, looking down at the grass as she spoke. The teen furrowed her brow as she continued, relaying the days events as they played over in her mind.
"We were out, and then we were attacked by zombies and then...Raze...he changed, or something. I mean, he was still Raze in the obvious sense, but he wasn't the same Raze ya know? There was a fiery aura surrounding him, not to mention, he would have killed a girl if Morgan hadn't stopped him. And so, he and Morgan fought for a bit, Morgan lost by being slammed into a tree and Raze...all of a sudden, can back to his senses, and then he was gone. And so, here we are. Morgan's in the infirmary, Kurt went to get the Professor and I'm...I'm here."
As she finished, she continued to stare at the ground, not wanting to look any of them in the eye. She carefully left out the fact that they were in the Brotherhood's neighborhood when all this happened, a point which she was sure wouldn't make a good impression.
((Will post as Lance later....so Josak and Kungfu, if you want to make your characters a bit more known, thats fine with me))

Dark Mistress Raven Taking Julianna's hand she carefully stepped down to the lower branch then slid down the rest of the way landing on the soft grass. "Oh thank god for land! I wasn't meant to climb trees." She looked down and took the large brown splinter poking through her bathing suits rear end out. "Told ya so." Zion said glaring at the offending peice of wood that was in her hand. In a moment the splinter went up in a single black flame in the palm of her hand and once the flame went out she dropped the ashes to the ground.

Zion laughed then apologized. "Sorry..I guess we're even huh." She said grinning at the lizard like female. Looking up in the tree she shuddered. "I'm never going in another tree...to many splinters." She rubbed the part of her bum that the splinter had been in. "Now that the rude maladroits are gone I say we get back to that party we were having in back. Night time is better for a party anyhow!" She said with a smirk as the moon started to rise from the horizon.

"If you're looking for your friends the X-Geeks, then you've just missed them."
Lances attention went from that of his fellow female team members in a nearby tree to another girl who seemingly appeared out of no where. She was short, 5 foot even he would have to guess and looked young, no older then fife-teen. One of their precious new recruits no doubt. Lance eyed her carefully as she wandered innocently into their tattered yard, not knowing if she wanted to start a fight like her other friends did. Even if she did, the poor girl wouldn't stand a chance, she was out numbered 8-1.
"Why don't you run along home," he said, "don't wanna miss your bed-time story don't you."

Narcissa listened quietly as Victoria spoke, somehow finding that she wished she hadn't asked the girl, and instead waited for someone else... Yet the question had already left her, and whatever damage was done, was done. Carlos even seemed to have turned everyone out...It was beyond her… How he could intentionally block people out.
Raze had vanished? Zombies? Her eyes widened with an almost doe-like expression... She had never even known that zombies existed. Though she supposed that with everything that had happened in the past few years, she shouldn't have been surprised. Just as quickly, she seemed to somber, thinking of Raze. She barely knew any of them, but she still found herself worried nevertheless. Where had he gone to?
The way Victoria kept her head down, the way she continued to look at the ground made her previous question return to the forefront of her mind. She never even looked them in the eye. Was she all right? She was fine physically, obviously, but what about mentally? Narcissa didn’t know her well enough to know if that was her normal demeanor, or if it was a recent development. Either way, Narcissa didn’t want to intrude terribly deeply where she wasn’t wanted. The blonde haired livewire simply knew that she would try to be there, if Victoria should decide that she needed someone to talk to… Narcissa had an innate want to be friends with every person she came across, to make others happy.
She felt like she was at a loss… She didn’t know these people well enough.. Narcissa simply didn’t know what to do..
“Perhaps Professor Xavier might be able to find Raze… I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of the situation..”, her soft tones spoke carefully as her head tilted from Victoria to Aaron. “Won’t he?”

"Aren’t you missing you bedtime then?" Jillann replied with a dirty look rather insulted, she knew she was small but, damn not that short. She kept an eye out to see if anybody was going to start a fight. She rather not fight even though she knew she provoked one with her bedtime comeback, this guy seemed like a rough kind of guy.
(sorry for the shortness like you said quilty not quainty)

Oh...burned
Lance raised an eyebrow in surprise as the girl took his comment and threw it back at him. Elementary school trick, but effective. Not many people, let alone ones this petite had the guts in them to try Lance at his own game. His ego was hurt more then anything because of that. His fist clenched up next to him, but surprisingly, he dared not make a move. No matter how annoying someone was, he just couldn't rough up a little runt just like that. Damion, yes, but only because he was presistently dumb.
"So, what to you want?" he spat, edging closer to the girl. Standing just a few feet away, he already towered over the girl, but she so far, she didn't see threatened.

His jaw had dropped. Zombies? Shaking his head he looked over at Narcissa and shrugged. "He's got Cerebro and I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to he could find him very easily." He turned his head and lit a cigarette.
"Victoria, I drove by the brotherhoods house before I got back here. Their front yard didn't look to great..well it never does but it looked shabbier then before." He took a long pull off the cancer stick, exhaled then continued. "The zombies were a product of one of their teammates powers...I saw the flaming remains as I drove by. When the professor asks what happens you need to tell him where you were, he'll know anyways. I won't tell him but he's got that creepy mind reading thing going on."
Aaron looked at the ground, took one last drag off the cigarette then dropped it to the ground and killed it with his shoe.
"Looks like one of the Xavier kids got left behind." Zion growled loudly towards the short female. Her hands at her side she turned her right one some-what palm out and formed a ball of black flames. Not a big one but not tiny. She held it there and let the flames dance in her palm.

"We'll call it even." She agreed gingerly probing the spot to make sure she didn't accidentally break something. "Nothing broken, I'll live to climb another day." She said beore nodding. "Agreed." She turned her attention to Lance who was trying to bully a younger girl. "Mmmm......."

Carlos would have been shocked and or frightened at the idea of zombies if he hadn't had nightmares with them nearly five hundred times by now. He shook his head as he tried to focus that groggy mind onto victoria. he didn't need to look or see anyone to listen and guessing who was talking was alittle easy with who was there. He opened his eyes slowly then sat up just as such and looked at them all scratching the back of his head with an amused grin on his face. the smell of smoke hit him and he ignored it as he stood up and dusted himself off. He closed his slightly glowy eyes hoping to hide them before anyone else noticed. He slipped his shades on. He was all confused as far as the order he needed to do things and sat back down. " well... nice to know we won't be bored here. anything, anyone of us could do to help?" his attitude was slightly off like the situation wasn't as serious as everyone made it out to be.

Damion just shook his head and walked away. Lance was consistently inconsistent and he realy did not have time to figure him out. Besides the majority of the days events were likely over by now. However, his most important plan could not be inacted until tomarrow when the constuction workers returned. Damion did not like being in the spotlight as much as people might think but he was willing too if it could mean getting what he wanted. Still if he could help it he would try to do whatever he needed in the shadows so to speak. The only problem was that he did not think he could do it alone. If he told Lance he would probably ruin everything. Asuka might help him but he had a hard time concerning her with stealth. THe other girls probably wouldn't lift a finger and then there was Piedro... So anyway, the only person he could realy ask was that weird Mortimer kid and he wasn't sure he could keep a secret from Lance so he might have to wait until later. But how long the construction would be going on was the real problem. A day or two more probably.
He shrugged off his thoughts temperarily as he walked around to the front door of the house. He had a slight wonder of where people were going to stay until the house was complete but that was less important and could go without awnsering. 3nodding

Kidd rested her head on the pillow and shut her eyes for a restful night of sleep. But rest was not what she found. He dreams were nightmares. They were filled with ice and sown, deafening wing and frost that covered everything. And there in the middle of it all was Kidd. Alone, and confused. She didn't know where she was, then she the snow and winds revealed that she was still in Bayville. But it was different, cold and frozen, lifeless. She walked slowly down the streets, she saw stores, homes and cars stopped dead frozen in the ice, people still in the cars.
"oh...my.. Was this me?"she asked herself, she looked around she saw the mansion on the hill. She bolted towards it, she could feel the wind behind her pick up. She ran towards it faster and faster. She closed her eyes and ran strait. She knew some how she'd be safe there. She burst threw the gates and tore down the drive way. She looked around their were students frozen in the garden and on the lawn. She started to cry, as she hit the doors and the lobby was full of frozen students and staff. She ran up stairs and pounded on the door.
"Open up! Open up! I need to see you-" the door broke of its hinges, Kidd gasped at want she saw. Darius and Becky frozen in solid ice.
She bolted up strait in to hospital bed.
"DARIUS!" she yelled.

"So I guess he knows about your smoking habits then," said Victoria nodding as Aaron crushed the smoldering stick of death beneath his foot. For once, her comment wasn't snide nor judgemental, it was simply a statement. It wasn't a surprise to her that the founder of the X-Institute was a macro telepathic mutant himself, but the thought that he could, at any time, read their minds was unnerving. Not to mention, a gross invasion of privacy.
"Well," she started, trying to shake that lingering 'some one's watching you' feeling from that back of her mind. "If he can read my mind then he should already know, and if he wants to punish me for that then fine...so be it."
Slumping back into the grass with a sigh, Victoria was suddenly back to normal. Her sly, rebel, often smart-a** personality winning over once again. She was probably getting dirty looks because of it, but she didn't care. The deed had been done. ================================== "Ok then," said Lance, not liking this little girl's attitude in the slightest. The way he figured, the quicker he bought whatever cookies she was trying to sell, the quicker he could send her on her way. It was getting late and Lance as well as the rest of the Brotherhood had had enough uninvited visitors to last them a few years.
"So, do you like what you see or not?" Lance asked the little girl as she gazed around at both Lance and Zion who was juggling dark fire just behind her. It was only then that Lance realized the little girl might very well be a mutant herself, and that it might suite them all not to scare her off right away. She might turn out to be another of Mystique's many recent recruits.
