((Since xmenfan may not get to be around much for the next few weeks (Thanks for letting us know, btw), Bagels and I were thinking it would be better to wait until after the holidays to start Issue 4. In the meantime, we thought everyone would enjoy a chance to have a little time for character development. Issue 3.5 is going to be set at the mansion, right after the team from China returns. It's a carryover issue. Since everyone's original character will be at the mansion, you'll all have a chance to interact with each other. This isn't really going to have a plot. We're all just going to be tying up loose ends. Be creative. You can NPC some of the other Canon characters, but be responsible with them....You can also add some other NPC's--students, janitors, newpaper delivery boys, whatever--if you'd like. I'll unlock this thread as soon as we get everyone on the jet in Issue 3. ))

((why can't we put in some bits on the jet in this issue, too, as long as people decide whether they're getting on or off?
And where's my muscly-armed paper boy at? I need me some good news.))

Jean boarded the jet, glancing slightly askance at the newcomer wearing a lab coat. Perhaps another escapee? Assuming that's what the two women had been....There were so many questions that needed answering, but the Professor would know the best way to handle it, they only had to make it back to the Mansion in one piece. With that thought, Jean hurried to the pilot's seat.
"We're not staying to find out." With a glance over her shoulder to be sure everyone had boarded the jet and were strapped in, Jean finished the ignition sequence and the Blackbird took off. Jean flipped on the stealth devices that made the Blackbird so useful, and it disappeared off the Chinese radar.
Jean smirked and commented wryly "Now we're just a wayward Albatross, or at least that's what the Chinese think. Shame to miss their embarrassment when they realize they've overreacted."
Gambit smirked, "Dat's how I know you're ok." He looked around at the two newcomers, "Where da Asian woman go? And who dis guy?" Gambit gestured towards Dade Jackson with a jerk of his thumb. "X-men always takin' in strays...like the pound for mutants." He muttered.
<<tag: Jean, Dade Jackson, Dr. Ramsey>>
Jean rolled her eyes at Gambit's uncouth commentary. "I don't know her name...she decided not to come." Her tone of voice echoing her disappointment. She flipped on the autopilot and looked towards Dade Jackson, "I was wondering the same thing myself...perhaps it would be best if we let the Professor handle things."

Blackbird
Dr. Ramsey grinned and looked over at Gambit. "Is that how they came by a classy mongrel such as yerself?" he asked Gambit, unable to resist poking fun. He looked over at Iceman to see if he had heard.
In regard to the black man in the labcoat, Malcolm started to wonder why he'd even invited him onto the plane in the first place. "I dunno, he seemed like he was in trouble," he said, trying to do a little damage control, "I didn't feel comfortable leavin' him behind with a giant robot. Besides, he looks harmless enough."

Blackbird
Iceman laughed at Dr. Ramsey's 'mongrel' comment, "Good one doc, It's nice to have someone else with a sense of humour around here." Tag Dr. Ramsey>
"You know you can talk directly to me, I won't bite," Dade said with a smile, trying to politely point out they were talking about him, in front of him.
"Thank you for that, it was very kind of you" he said nodding to Malcolm in recognition. "Who are all of you & who is this professor you mentioned?" he asked, a little uneasy at the word 'professor', Professor of what, professor at a lab like the one I just left? he thought to himself starting to doubt if he done the right thing going with a bunch of strangers, something he would never have done if Sabretooth & the robot had not been there. Tag anyone>

Xavier's Mansion
Wolverine saw the Professor had the situation under control, nodded to him, smiled at Motoko, and left the room. He went downstairs to his locker and pressed the comm device on his uniform, "Jeannie, Cajun, Storm, Iceman, anyone else, where the hell are you all?"

Jean noticed the comm light blinking, "Someone is trying to get in touch..." She pressed the button, she been about to call, after getting the newcomers names. "Wolverine! I was just about to contact the Professor. We're on our way back, things are worse than we thought. We picked up two passengers. I haven't gotten their names yet."

Blackbird
Dr. Ramsey rolled his eyes when Wolverine called in and conveniently didn't mention him. Then again, he only said codenames. "I need to come up with one of those codenames for meself," he said under his breath.
"Well, Ah can actually introduce this lovely lady over here, Jean," he volunteered. He paused.
"This is goin' to be more than a wee bit awkward, but I'd..." sigh. "I'd like ye all te meet my ex-wife, Vivien. Dinna ask me how she got here, I dinna rightfully kin meself. She's like us, too," he said pointedly, choosing his words carefully around the New Guy.

Vivien raised a brow at Malcolm's "lovely" comment. It almost sounded like he was proud of her...but that couldn't be. She replied to Iceman, "Hello. He's not married...I'm his ex-wife. And I got there because guy in lab coats," Vivien glanced pointedly at Dade Jackson, "like he's wearing--drugged me and captured me." She looked hard at Dade with her piercing blue gaze, "Why are you wearing a lab coat, anyways?" Vivien was glad that she discarded the one Shadow had given her in the hallway. Currently, she was only wearing the dirty, bloodstained scrubs she'd stolen.

Blackbird
"De-heh-finitely, definitely not married," he echoed with a small bit of laughter. He rolled his eyes as if hearing a bad joke, his thumb instinctively going to where his wedding band hadn't been in years, as if to check if it was there. He caught the nervous, knee-jerk reaction and stopped.

Xavier's Mansion
"Two passengers? Worse than we thought as in Magneto's destroying a giant chunk of the world or worse than we thought Cyclopes got sick eating the Scotsman's food?" Wolverine said. "We had a little PR problem here involving a sword, Kitty, and a reporter. Professor's on it."
