Emma removed her white x-men garb, changing into a new Dior dress she happened to pick up last week on a binge shopping trip, helps to clear her head. She grabbed the matching Dior heels and slipped them on, grabbing her Chanel bag and keys on her way out.
She opened the door to the garage to find Jubilee and Wolverine, "Well look who it is, I was wondering when I was going to see your hairy ass, Logan." She said with a smirk. She hit the button on her keys unlocking her midnight black on silver Aston Martin DBS Volante with all black interior. She had bought the car the week of the big blow up with Jean and Scott, after taking his car out without telling him. She gave Logan and Jubilee a small nod before getting into her car and speeding off to meet her new friend.

"Now you wait just a minute, Scott, he didn't do nothin to ya, so lose the tude." Rogue said her gaze fiery as she looked at Scott, astounded he would approach Gambit in such a manner. She flexed her hands, keeping in mind that he was in charge here, even if she was itching to smack him upside his head, knock that uppity attitude right out of him.

Kitty looked up from the magazine she was reading, sprawled out on her bed. She could have sworn she had heard the sound of a motorcycle. She stood up her long brown ponytail swinging back and forth. She began running through the walls and doors towards the sound of the noise stopping in the garage she looked at Logan and smiled, returning to her solid state. "Oh my god, you're back! So like, how did it go, the Professor said you were doing some secret mission and like that is so cool! Oh hey, Jubilee!"

Logan wasn't halfway to the door when it flew open, Logan caught her scent before the door cleared his line of sight to offer him the image of the spunky lil one. A smile began to grow upon his face as he was greeted with such a warm welcome. His brow rose as he listened to the polite interrogation trying not to chuckle
"Kid, you just said it... if it was cool you would have been there... this was just a simple visit... I think the old man needed to get let me run wild for a bit... so he sent me up north to pay a visit to Alpha Flight.... That's all, nothing cool this time...."
His eyes dilated a little and he felt his blood quicken slightly as a new scent drifted to him. Emma... He wrangled in his smile and watched as Emma strode into the garage as lovely as ever... Lovely and cold as ever, Logan's eyes lingered on her form as she moved, scoffing at her comment.
"I know you been thinking about my hairy ass. Tell you what, anytime you wanna shot at the title you come knocking on my door...."
He smirked darkly watching her legs as she slid into the car and took off. His eyes lingered in her direction for a moment, till the car disappeared before turning back to Jubilee.
"So whats to good word Kid? Have I missed anything good while I've been gone?"
He looked up to see Kitty materialize before him and he shook his head and chuckled.
"Tell me is it really a secret if the Professor is openly talking about it I ran up north, to visit some old friends.... Nothing too secret. What about you? What have the ladies of X-Manor been up to while I have been away? There wouldn't happen to been any shopping for beer or cooking of meat while I was away now would there have been? I'm starve'n."

Scott stopped so abruptly, Jean nearly ran into his back. She saw Gambit blocking the way with a dark look on his face and dark thoughts swirling around his head, darker than normal. As usual though, when she tried to focus in on a particular thought, it slipped away. "Gambit's mind is as dark and slippery as his past.." Jean muttered.
Gambit's brow furrowed and his red eyes glowed with intensity. "You got nerve! Listen, fearless leader, de gub'ment done gone and done somethin crazy, dey trackin mutants and supressin dere powers. You got accused murderers in de mansion." Gambit pointed at Vivien, "Dat psycho Ramsey invited back from China jus' waltzed out wit the layout of the mansion and all our names in his head when de gub'ment is tryin ta find who was at de warehouse in China! He could say we held him here against his will and we helped Magneto!" His accent broadened as his anger hit it's stride. "Ah came down here ta tell ya, since you too busy cheatin on your wife ta pay attention!"
Jean was surprised by the intensity of Gambit's emotion but his observations were canny and frightening. I guess you have to be a shady character to think like one...
"Murderer? I'm not a murderer?" Vivien expression was quickly morphing from confusion to frustration. "What are you talking about?"

Malcolm blanched and looked over at his ex-wife. He'd never really known about whatever the hell it was she did in her free time, he had inklings, but.. "Murder? Wait a second, wait wait wait wait..." He took Vivien off to the side, back into the Danger Room, by the arm. He spoke quietly. "Viv, what's goin' on, lass, please tell meh they're wrong. Ah din'na want te believe them, ye ken how loony that Gambit kin be," he tried to smile, it wasn't working.
Cyclops had had just about enough of, well, all of this crap that had been going on lately, and Gambit's stray comment had gone too far. He grabbed him by the collar of his trenchcoat and brought him up against the wall in the hallway, slamming him in to it. "Listen here, Cajun," he said, doing what he called his 'wolverine impression', his visor glowing brighter than normal. He sneered in Gambit's face, close enough to smell his breath, way inside the man's comfort zone.
"This team, me specifically, has enough problems without you putting your nose in my personal business, and airing out my dirty laundry in front of everyone else. If you have a problem with me, we can settle it later. Thank you for the heads up," he said through clenched teeth, letting go of his jacket and taking a step away. "We're going to have to have a meeting about all this. Meanwhile," he said, walking down the hall, "Why don't you go try to find our psycho before he gets too far away? Try taking the initiative for once, Gambit; instead of tattling, you could have tried to stop him." He opened the door to the lift.

Jubilee laughed at Wolverine's comments and answered, "I mean, duh, I knew it wasn't like, secret-secret, I guess it's good sometimes to cut loose, right?" She grinned at Kitty. "Oh hey, Kitty, speaking of which, you want to go to the mall later? I've been dyyying to buy a new pair of shoes, and Po-goe's having a sale." She winked at Wolverine. "You can come, too, somehow I think that Doc Ramsey and Iceman finished the beer off the other night in a sort of frosty drinking game kinda thing."

Rogue's eyes darted between Gambit and Cyclops, she had half the mind to mess his day up right there, just a little touch...but his power was one she wouldn't want to have, not on her worst day. And did Cyclops really cheat on Jean...this was something she hadn't heard before, and how the hell did Gambit know about it? Her brain was muddled with all of this new information that just kept popping up, she didn't know how much more she could take. She thought about leaving the mansion and going outside to get away from all of the drama and the tension that was slowly building up. So much for her and Gambit's date, from the beginning it's like they are up against the world. Cyclops walked away and she brushed a gloved hand over Gambit's face, "Come on you ole swamp rat, let's go find the psycho."
<Tag: Gambit>
Kitty giggled at Wolverine, he was always good for a laugh. She smiled broadly at Jubilee and then squealed, "OOOOO, the mall!! Of course I want to go! I was just reading the newest issue of Seventeen and I have to say there is this new line of cosmetics I want to look at it, it's like, oh my god Jubilee!" She danced around excitedly, never one to pass up an opportunity for a trip to the mall. "You going to come, Logan, spend some time with the girls?" she asked beaming up at him with her precious school girl smile.
<Tag: Jubilee, Wolverine>
Emma sped into the city the wind blowing back her blonde locks. She pulled up to the bar where she had first met Navina and spotted her as soon as she walked in. Her ridiculously large dread locked pigtails in multi-colors and interesting gothic garb really stood out. She walked up to the bar ordering a gin & tonic and sliding onto the stool next to Navina.
"Let me guess, couldn't handle the pressure of having to see the man you love with his wife?" Navina asked taking in Emma's guarded yet pained expression.
"Something like that..." was Emma's reply. She didn't really know how to express what was going on, she wasn't one to be open about the emotions she harbored. She gave Navina a small smile and sipped her drink, running her hands up and down the cool glass.
"I never said it was going to be easy, Emma. Love is just one of those things you know...sometimes it really feels like you are on the losing end, but other times...it's like you have been given the greatest gift. You just have to decide if you are willing to accept the bad for the good that you did have." Navina knew what she had to do, she had to get Emma to get back with Scott...it was the only way.

Logan's right brow cocked as he listened to the exchange to the perky young girls. What was it with girls and the mall? Logan had been only a handful of times and each time he needed to be dragged there. He would rather spend the evening in the danger room battling Sentinels. In fact, that sounded like a damn good idea. Logan shook his head and lifted a hand.
You girls go one without me... I'd just be cramping your style... I am gonna find something to eat. You girls have fun.
Offering them both a smile and shrugging out of his denim jacket and hanging it on a hook near the door. Logan offered them a departing wave before heading into the house letting his nose lead the way to the kitchen even though he knew exactly where it would be. Though he didn't say it or actively show it, he wanted nothing more than to get a passing glance at Jean, or even better have a moment to speak with her. About nothing in particular, just her presence was intoxicating. Logan knew that it was irrational, but the animal side of his brain paid no heed to that logic. Right now, his primal side said he needed to eat, and thats exactly what he intended on doing.

3 miles from x mansion Dade had managed to hitch a ride and was heading as far away from civilisation as possible. “Can you go any faster? I’m in a hurry” Dade asked the driver, “Sure” he replied, pressing down on the accelerator.

Gambit angrily jerked his coat back into position. He frowned at Jean and spoke quietly, "Dat last t'ing I said was outta turn, but he ain't doin' right by you." The truth was, Gambit didn't know for sure that Cyclops had cheated on Jean. However, being well-versed in romance and observant (as all good thieves are), Gambit couldn't help but notice the lingering glances between Scott and Emma and the strained distance between Jean and Scott.
He turned quickly and headed up the stairs. He turned to Rogue as he walked and muttered, "Let that mule-headed leader of ours go get him. It about time he start payin attention."
<tag: Rogue>
Vivien looked stricken. "I've broken laws, but I'm not a murderer, Malcolm." Malcolm's hard expression didn't appear to change and she became defensive, "So you're still willing to believe the worst of me?"
<tag: Malcolm>
Jean nodded at Gambit. He'd been wrong to voice his suspicions aloud, but Scott deserved it. Perhaps it would tarnish his image as spotless leader, but Scott had never learned that a even a leader couldn't always be perfect. He'd also never learned to admit his mistakes gracefully. He wasn't sorry it'd happened. The more she thought about it, the more her subdued anger blossomed. "Malcolm, Vivien, could you meet us upstairs in the conference room?" She followed Scott onto the lift, her arms crossed over chest.

Logan smelled him before he saw him and only rolled his eyes as he entered the kitchen and moved to the fridge. His tone was polite however Logan didn't mistake that condescending choice of words he chose to employ when opening his mouth. Perhaps Warren could stand to loose a few teeth, however Logan quickly put a cap oh his rising ire. He just got back, and surely after this little encounter he would definitely need a beer or six. Few thing's annoyed Logan more than a prissy little rich boy who didn't know when to shut his mouth. It was about as annoying as an itch you couldn't scratch.
Opening the refrigerator Logan let the cool air lick against his skin as he skimmed the contents, it was a good thing Charles let him out for a bit, he might have gave Warren a nice set of black eyes. Rather he reached in and grabbed what he thought to be a beer and twisted off its cap. Taking a swig, Logan made a face and looked down at the bottle. It was beer alright... ICB root-beer.
"Eh... It will do for now...."
He spoke more to himself than anyone else, after a moment he closed the door and walked over to the counter to lean back against it and take another swig eyeing Warren, "...little mission..." Logan scoffed and lifted the bottle killing whatever was left before setting it down on the counter.
"No Feathers, you know the Old Man saves all the little and easy missions for you... He is smart, the old man.... he only gives out that which he thinks you can handle.... apparently with you, you get the light stuff..."

Cyclops was standing in the lift with his arms crossed, he didn't look at Jean, he couldn't... the guilt was eating him up inside. Not so much that he had had his psychic affair, no; he'd had enough time to make peace with that.
It was the fact that he still desired Emma that was really @%$ing his head up. Scott had had no idea that he was that easy to read. He tried to clear his head, and quickly turned it black. Avery angry, self-loathing shade of black. "Rogue?" he called out, "Do you think you could come along, I think you could help on this matter. And Bobby, just... don't worry about it."
Malcolm led Vivien out of the Danger Room to the lift, his hand affectionately on the small of her back. "If ye say ye dinna' do it, lass, I'll believe ye. I dinna think yer the killin' type. Come along, let's sort this whole mess oot."

Jubilee giggled and watched Wolverine walk away. "How you want to get there? I have cash for a taxi, but I bet there's some sort of cute guy here dying to drive us around."

Rogue's eyes darted to Scott and then back to Gambit, not sure if she should come along or not after Scott's little blow up with Gambit. She should though, she knew why Scott would want her there, to support Vivien. She gave Gambit a small smile, "Catch up with ya lata sugah." she said softly before turning to the lift and joining the others.
<Tag: DR peeps>
Kitty laughed and then contemplated over what to do. "Well who the heck would we want to hang out with from around here? Bobby?" trying to decide if she would find him cute or not.
<Tag:Jubilee>
Emma sat there with Navina for a good hour or so downing drinks and telling tales of woe and love lost. Scott being the most painful, mostly because she still had to see him on a daily basis, and the love and desire she felt for him wasn't letting up any. She looked at Navina curiously...something was off...like she was hiding something. Normally she would just take a trip through her psyche but with recent events the thought of doing that wasn't one that really excited her. "You're hiding something, Navina, I don't know what it is, but I can read it all over you."
Navina looked up with a sad look, not skipping a beat. Being a sociopath made her quite the actress over time, faking emotions were second nature. She gave a small nod, "You're right, Emma, there is something I have been keeping from you." It was then she told Emma of the horrors of being trapped in China, and then narrowly escaping Magneto. How she had came here to New York to find a safe harbor.
Emma sat there listening and hanging on her every word as she spoke of the horrors she went through. She took Navina's hand in hers, "Come to the mansion with me, Navina. You can come stay with us and we can help you, me and the other X-Men." She didn't know why, but she felt it was her duty as an x-man to take her in, to help her. After all, the X-men take in strays all the time.
Navina looked up at Emma a glimmer in her eye. "Really...? You guys would take me in and help me?" she asked, she had to work so hard to not smile. She found it rather easy to play Ms. Frost like a fiddle in her vulnerable state. Emma nodded her head and that was that, she had her ticket into the mansion and was a step closer to achieving her goal.

Warren scoffed at Logan’s comment, after just being shot in the danger room he just wasn’t in the mood to go into it with Wolverine right now, “the professor is smart, thankfully he invents a thousand new reasons to get you out of the mansion”. Warren looked at his watch not really paying any attention to what the time was, “oh look, you’ve been back a good couple of minutes, Shouldn’t you be kissing Jeans backside by now?” he said as he walked away from Logan in a snooty manner.

Logan could not help but laugh at what he could only presume to think Warren thought was a smart comeback. Logan was under no illusions that was exactly what Charles was doing and Logan was more than great-full about it. If he had to spend all day, every day here with Warren it would a bad idea. Wolverine was a savage, deep down a wild animal that couldn't be fully tamed. Not that he would want to, what would Warren know about that? He spent his life in pampered luxury. Logan just simple laughed at him, laughed and watched Warren walk away like the petulant child he was.
Though his last comment he said made him smirk a bit. What Logan though of when he imagined Jean's backside had nothing to do with kissing it. MMMM Good thoughts... Logan thought to himself but quickly reigned in his imagination. Living in a house full of people who could pick up is thoughts was potentially dangerous especially when it came to those naughty primal urges.With a sigh he took the empty, dark brown bottle to the recycling bin for glass and set it in there before returning to the fridge and grabbing another root-beer. Why the hell not. He thought to himself as he twisted the top off, and rummaged around the refrigerator for something to eat finding nothing but veggies and something more dangerous than anything they faced in the field... Hummus. Logan took the container of the ...food?-like paste He thought out and opened it. The scent wafted up to him in a nauseating cloud that forced him to quickly close the lid and stuff it back in the fridge... WAY back.
"Who eats that crud... probably one of Scott's ideas..."
He muttered to himself and manage to find a quarter of a salami roll.
"It'll have to do..."
He reached in and grabbed the cured meat and closed the fridge and took his root-beer and made his way out into the corridors. Holding the neck of the bottle in one hand he peeled the skin of the salami back and bit into it, holding it like one would an apple as he made his way to the stairs and up them to his room. His eyes wandering around to see if he could spot anyone, namely Jean but he would have settled for bumping into Storm or Rogue. Pretty much anyone but Scott or Warren.

Emma paid their bar tab and looked to Navina. "We can go to your apartment and grab you what you need to take with you, you can move in with us tonight." she said looking her over. They walked out to the parking lot, "Did you drive here?" she asked looking around.
"Nahh I walked, have to keep this body fit and trim." Navina said with a smirk ghosting a hand down her body as if showing off her athletically toned physique.
Emma grinned, "Well then tell me where to go, I'm driving." She walked over to her car and unlocked the car sliding into her seat.
Navina let out a low whistle, "Yowwzaahh, that's a terribly fancy car ya got there." she said admiring it as she slid in.
Emma chuckled, "Thanks I guess..." They drove to Navina's dingy little apartment, packing her things and then lugging them out to the car before heading to the mansion. They pulled up to the gate and Emma punched in her code as it opened, she drove up to the garage and slid her car into it's parking space. "Well this is it...welcome to the Mansion, Navi." she said as she got out of the car opening the garage door and heading inside, Navina following close behind. "Let's go find the others and I can introduce you to the team, you are going to like it here, you will be safe here, we can help you." she said in the best comforting voice she could muster. She wasn't used to being so caring, it was starting to wear her down.
