(quick post for Emma then I am waiting for Vivien, Scott and Malcolm to post)
Kitty shot Emma a nasty look and then looked back to Paige, giving her a small smile.
Emma looked at Lucinda with a calm, cool face. "Lucinda, please, your children will be staying in an available room and they will always have access to a phone, so they can reach you. As soon as Jean or Scott is available they will answer all of your questions I assure you. Your children are safe here, I promise you that." She said in the best reassuring voice she had.
She turned around and reached out to locate Navina with her mind, 'Navina, this is Emma, just informing you that I am tied up at the moment, get back to you as soon as I can.'
Navina jerked up wild eyed as she heard the voice inside her head. After a second she relaxed. She had forgotten about Emma's abilities, scared the bejesus out of her. This gave her more time to herself and she didn't mind that at all. After all she had a lot of planning to do...

Logan entered the conference room along side Jean, listening to her as she explained what was going on as he cast the occasional glance at Scott. Jean was pissed off about something, had she found out about Emma & Scott. Logan felt bad for Jean, yea so it wasn't sex. Real "sex" at least but still... it was like that damn Matrix movie or something. Or so that's how Emma explained it to him, it caused Logan to shiver, of course thinking of Emma like that would make any man shiver but the thought was just creepy. Sure he had his share of mental experiences but it feels like one would be cheated out of the "real" thing.
He walked with her to her seat and rather than sit next to her Logan leaned back against the wall lifting his right leg and planting his foot flat on the wall as he kept his balance on a single leg, folding his arms over his chest as he settled his gaze upon Scott. Logan didn't miss Jean's choice of words even though her tone wasn't there Logan knew she clearly was unhappy. Confirmation came when Scott had his own outburst. Logan raised and "oh really, you want to start there Bub?" brow when he stopped short. Logan could only imagine what word he was gonna use. Scott showing some sense of being smarter than he looked choose wisely in rewording his statement.
Logan may have been small in stature but he had a presence in a room all his own, not really a "commanding" presence more like the kind that would make you want to distance ones self unconsciously as they would a half crazed animal. He had no qualms about getting into a scrap, especially with Scott and especially over what he did. Sure Emma was his "friend" but Jean... Jean was so much more. She could handle her own in a fight but it didn't mean Logan didn't want to punch Scott's lights out or kick him in the teeth. When Scott mentioned he wanted him to join up with Blue Team and head to China he tore his eyes away from Scott and glanced at Jean when he asked if he had something better to do before looking back at him. He wanted a moment to talk to Jean, see how she was holding up. She was a strong woman but things like this would strain the heart for sure.
"Eh, I ain't got nothing...It'd be good ta get back out in the field."
He nodded at Scott, fixing him a hard glare and uttering a low growl in his throat.

Living area
Warren smiled at Beast’s comment appreciating the irony, he was just glad that he didn’t need an energy drink to enable him fly. He stood up and followed the others to hanks office, shooting Mood Ring a smile as he went. “What have you found, hank?” He asked taking his position next to Nightcrawler.
“More information on the upgraded sentinel?” Bobby asked hazarding a guess. Tag Beast, Nightcrawler>

Beast nodded and plugged in his thumb drive, and spread papers about, showing large pictures.
"Indeed, friend. The factory has moved to Tibet, and heightened its security. We'll have to land further out and make the trek on foot, about a day's walk. We might be able to procure a guide. We'll need to pack, as well. You less than others, obviously, Bobby."

Ion nodded to Rogue. "Aye, Ah will. Come on, Viv, it'll be fun. Besides, we can work on gettin' that greet ugly stain off yer reputation."
Cyclops nodded, gave Jean one last look and felt a pang of multiple emotions: melancholy, regret, sadness, anger...
Then he was in the hallway, walking determinedly to his... hello.
Emma was talking to some teens he hadn't seen before. He approached them. "Emma, are these the new students Jean was talking about?" He smiled wanly at the visitors.

Emma's heart jumped when she heard Scott's voice. "Oh, yes, Scott this is Lucinda Gurthie their mother, and this is Sam and Paige." She said pointing to each as she spoke their name. "This is Scott Summers, acting headmaster in Xavier's absence." she explained. She backed away a bit, so Scott could do his headmaster thing.

Crawler looked about excitedly, always up for a mission. He looked over at Bobby and grinned and then back to Beast. "You going to be able to bring all that shampoo you need with you, Beast?" He asked with a chuckle.

Logan watched Scott leave with hard set eyes and shook his head. The man was a closet narcissist, Logan firmly believed that. After what Emma had told him, about what she and Scott did Logan wanted to... He wanted to hurt Scott. Emma was just being Emma, he wrote her actions off. The animal side of Wolverine wanted to break Scott... physically. Perhaps it was best to get back out of the mansion. Logan had no place in their Marriage, they were all adults each one knew they were responsible for their own actions.
With a sigh Logan took the empty chair and sat next to Jean. He waited in silence for a moment trying to put his words into the write context. Jean was a strong person, a mutant of unrivaled power, the object of his affection but also a good good friend. After a moment of silence he leaned back and stared out at the table and said.
"You wanna come along on this mission? It wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone there who was on the last mission..."
What he didn't say, though he implied was. "Hey Red, maybe its good to get out and away... There are others who still care about you..." He never said it, it didn't need to be said but Logan was willing to bed she knew none the less.

Another man walked into the room and Paige noticed how handsome he was. It was also obvious that he was a bit frazzled.
"Emma, are these the new students Jean was talking about?" the man said, Paige smiled shyly and brushed back a loose strand of her blonde hair.
"Oh, yes, Scott this is Lucinda Guthrie their mother, and this is Sam and Paige. This is Scott Summers, acting headmaster in Xavier's absence,” Miss Frost explained. Sam, squaring his shoulders back, stepped forward and shook Mr. Summers’ hand.
“Nice to meet ya sir,” Sam said respectfully. Paige stepped beside her brother and silently shook Mr. Summers’ hand. Then Lucinda stepped in-between her two children and firmly shook the man’s hand.
“Now Ah understand that you will be taxing Mr. Xavier’s place. Ah just want to be sure my children are gonna be looked after. Ah’d like to see a bit more of what it is ya’ll do around here,” Lucinda said sternly putting an arm around each of her children.

((Actually Mitch, Usually I'd say yes, but I did have other plans, you'll get the tour in a moment, I promise. I saved the second half of your post in a txt document.))

“Boy Another mission at last” Iceman said enthusiastically.
“It’s nice having some time off but I’m ready to get back to action” Archangel said echoing Nightcrawler’s and Iceman’s enthusiasm. “Are we leaving immediately?” Iceman asked raring to go. Tag Beast, Nightcrawler>

Cyclops put his hands back in his pockets and closed his eyes, although this was barely imperceptible. Taking a deep breath, he opened them again and looked at the students and their mother. They smiled up at him expectantly. Too many things happening at once. He needed to get out... The school was starting to close in on him, like a crumbling, screaming, Dali painting.
He turned to Emma, jutting a thumb over his shoulder. "Actually, could you or Jean handle all that? I've got to go get changed." He hated meeting parents in his spandex, and had just become aware of his flamboyant suit.
Jubilee held up jazz hands. "Omigosh, Cyke, I could show them around!" That way we can snag them for the mall afterwards, and I get to know the cute boy!!
Scott nodded. "Even better. Mrs. Guthrie, Sam, Paige, it was nice to meet you." He turned and headed upstairs to the bedroom. Seeing the bed he and his wife slept in, he paused and sat down on the foot, taking his visor off and putting on his glasses. Cabin Fever. That's what his dad always called it. he rested his cheek on his hand, his elbow on his knee, taking a deep breath. What am I going to do? He stood up, removing his uniform and utility belt. I can feel Jean pushing me away. I guess I deserve that. Buttoning a nice shirt, he looked in the mirror, an amber reflection in an amber room. Everything looked the same. Why does it always happen like this? I'm too loyal to leave the team. I tried, it didn't work. I feel like I'm running away... He looked down at his wedding ring, pulled it halfway down his finger, looking at the pale circle of skin. He pushed it back into place. Maybe it'll be easier when Logan's in China. I'm tired of the way he looks at her, he thought as he walked back downstairs toward the garage, not knowing about what Wolverine had asked his wife.

"Oh my god, yes me too! Jubilee and I can show you guys around!" She said with a giggle.
"Hey, Jubilee, Kitty, when you finish the tour take them to go see Jean Grey, so they can meet her too." Emma said to Jubilee before turning around and running toward the garage. Kitty rolled her eyes as Emma completely ignored the fact that she was even there. "Yeah, I'll be sure to help with that too, Emma, thanks for asking!" Bitch
Emma didn't even pay attention to that rotten brat, Kitty Pryde. She intersected Scott just as he hit the Garage. "Scott, there was something I wanted to talk to you about...are you going out?" she asked, noticing he was in civilian clothes. She rose an eyebrow as this thought crossed her mind, he did look awfully flustered. She reached out and put a hand on his shoulder, "You know if you need to talk, I am always here, Scott. I am a good listener after all." She said with love and concern heavy in her voice.

"Yes, Beast, do tell us of our departure time!" Crawler echoed, ready to get this show on the road for sure. He popped around the room in a hyper, excited way.

No, Emma, she's... god that feels... stop it, Scott. Cyclops' loudest thought as he backed politely away from Emma's touch, as if afraid, quelled the other voices in his mind. His blank, red, sunglass-shielded stare met her concerned face.
"That's right, Emma, I keep forgetting. Is it really important?" he asked, straddling his motorcycle and looking up at her. "I need to get away for a couple hours, unwind. As far as me needing to talk..." He put his helmet on. "You really want to hear the whinings of 'fearless leader'?" he asked sarcastically, using Beast's old nickname for him.

Jubilee put her arm around Paige. "Don't worry about Emma. We're like a big dysfunctional family here. Come on, we'll show you and your mom around." She grinned.
(if you want we can skip the tour but I have conversation ideas)

Beast held up his paws. "Calm down, gents. Cyclops had told me we're taking a few others with us, but as far as I know, we will leave in two days. Is that long enough to pack?"

Emma looked around and then walked closer, Man looks good on a bike, that's for sure Emma thought as she admired him. She swung her leg over the bike and latched her arms around his waist. " I can tell you when we get to where we are going." She said in a sultry voice close to his ear.

"Oh yes, that is plenty of time." Crawler said as he popped out of the room and into his.

(Lol we can do the tour, that’s fine! I thought I had posted earlier today, but I guess I forgot! Sorry!)
"Omigosh, Cyke, I could show them around!" Jubilee volunteered enthusiastically after the headmaster had shirked off his responsibility.
"Oh my god, yes me too! Jubilee and I can show you guys around!" Kitty added with just as much enthusiasm. Lucinda wasn’t very thrilled that the adults here seemed to be incompetent, but the siblings were happy to be showed around by someone their own age.
Sam’s eyes followed Miss Frost as she ran off. Then he looked at the other girls and his smile broadened. Jubilee put an arm around his sister’s shoulder.
"Don't worry about Emma. We're like a big dysfunctional family here. Come on, we'll show you and your mom around,” she said leading her into another room. Paige smiled and let herself be lead away while Lucinda grimaced slightly and silently followed.
Sam stepped in line between Kitty and Jubilee staying just a bit behind so that he could get a quick glance at their rear assets. “Yeah Ah reckon’ Ah’ll like this place juuust fine,” he said with a smile. Lucinda smacked him in the back of the head and gave him a stern glare.
“Mind your manners, Samuel,” she chided.
“Yes Mama,” Sam said rubbing his head.
“Are there a whole lotta students here?” Paige asked, trying keep her new friends’ attention.
