Xavier frowned as he saw the destruction and meaningless havoc. He glanced at Erik who was still smiling at him. As Magneto, he could do an endless amount of harm. But, Xavier doubted that causing this destruction amounted to anything but petty violence. While he could believe that of Pyro, Erik was anything but petty.
And, Erik was calling as...Erik. So, this wasn't official. This wasn't a part of something Magneto was doing. For whatever reason, Erik wouldn't -- or couldn't -- interfere.
He sent out an urgent telepathic call to the team. "X-men Assemble at the hangar bay immediately!"
Only a few seconds had passed. He took another look at the video feed. It looked European in architecture, possibly the UK, so that part of the call seemed to be true.
"Old Friend...it's always delightful to hear from you. The children are fine, they send their best. I'm surprised, though, to see you on the sideline. It's so unlike you when your children at playing."

Rogue heard the message, and scowling she set off for the hanger bay.

Gambit Garage XSFGY Gambit made a face when he received Xavier's call. Last time he'd received such a call, he'd almost died in a practice session. He briefly considered jumping on the motorcycle and riding away. Whatever it was that made him hesitate, it was stronger than his urge to leave. Reluctantly, he headed towards the hangar.

Scotland, UK Erik smiled again and reached for the touchpad on his leptop, hovering the cursor over the hangup button. "Excellent, Charles, good to hear from you. Give the children my best.... Oh," he added, "This time, you should be happy to know it wasn't my brilliant idea, as much as I'd like to claim it. I think I'll watch the pathetic ones die trying to save their precious little things," he said, then signed off. Leaning back, he laughed heartily as some mutants destroyed things for no reason. Humanity would bow down before Homo Superior. They would eventually recognize the mutant race as the Future. This act of random terrorism was just a small piece in his magnificent puzzle. ------------------ Hangar Bay Scott was there in an instant, since the control room was so close. He was ready for anything, although he had wished they had fixed the Blackbird before the next problem arose. there wasn't enough time in the day, no, the year, to juggle X-Men and everything else. He leaned against a stanchion near the Blackbird and waited for everyone to show up.

OOC: oh yes, I think I remember those ::chuckles::
IC: Rogue tapped her foot in the elevator, as it went down, annoyed as heck. She was glad she wasn't moping around as per before, but now she was just angry. Well, to put it lightly. Everything around her pissed her off. Someone almost dropped a binder on her foot and she felt like screaming. "What the hell is goin' on with me..." she muttered as the elevator opened, and she walked to the hanger.
She saw Scott and nodded, not feeling like talking or being spoken to.

Xavier spoke to everyone in route to the Blackbird.
**I received a transmission from Magneto. It was live footage of Avalanche and Pyro destroying a town in Scotland. Nothing comes to mind to suggest that this location has anything of particular value, so I don't know why this place would be a target.**
He paused before continuing, **Magneto didn't appear to be aiding them, but he is present. Last I knew, Avalanche was incarcerated. Apparently that isn't the case any longer. Take great care in apprehending them, or stopping them if confining them isn't possible. And, please, find out why they chose that particular place. Keep me apprised...**

Hangar Bay X's SFGY "Right, Professor," Scott said. He went into the blackbird to see if he could salvage the fuel line system. He hoped Storm would get there in a few minutes to help him. She was the only other person who really knew the Blackbird well enough to work on it. He could probably fix it himself, but time was of the essence. He knelt down and grabbed his wire stripper and started to repair the severed wiring. <Tag Storm, X-Men>

((Ok, we still need Wolverine, Jean, Storm to report. I think Professor X would come on this mission as well, since it's so close to his old pal Moira. ))
Gambit Hangar XSFGY
The Cajun man had stopped on his way to the hangar and quickly donned his typical body armor and trench coat. He walked into the hangar, seeing Rogue. Since Scott was inside the Blackbird, he didn't know he was in the hangar.
He looked at Rogue, momentarily forgetting his anger over the alien incident and gave an ironic smile, "Gambit never here b'for de others."

OOC: Oh jeez... whenever I start speaking French with my mum, I start spelling Rogue's name like 'Rouge'
IC: Rogue looked at Gambit as he spoke to her, surprised that he was saying something to her. Some of her anger towards him evaporated, but for some reason she still felt like there was this pool of rage inside her. She didn't really want to say anything, instead she attempted to grin. She didn't really trust her voice right now.

Logan was just sitting down, minding his own business and relaxing, when the Professor's message went through his head.
"Damn, what now? Can't get no relaxin' in without somethin' happenin'." he said under his breath, in a very disgruntled manner. He made his way to the control room just in time to see the end of the transmition from Scotland, with Magneto's big head on the screen. That's what Logan thought any way, he never did like Magneto, with the whole, control over metal, thing.
"What's goin' on?" he inquired of the Porfessor, "What's Magneto up to this time?" <TAG XAVIER>

Xavier wheeled away from his desk, "Follow me, Logan." As he headed down to the hangar bay, he filled Logan in on Avalanche and Pyro. He couldn't help the tone of worry that crept into his voice. "We'll be heading out immediately. There's more to this than we know, and we have precious few clues to discern what that might be." <TAG WOLVERINE>
******************** Storm was changing when the call came in. She quickly stripped back down and put on her uniform. Fearing she was holding the group back, she rushed down to the hangar bay, only then remembering that the Blackbird was still damaged.
She saw Scott was working on the wiring. Silently, she began to inspect the area. She saw that in addition to the wiring, some of the fuel line had been sheared. While it probably would work well enough, she doubted anyone would want to take the chance. She began working to replace the fuel line and calibrating the flow so the cockpit would register the in- and out-take accurately. Though she had to wonder at
It was long minutes before it was done and most of the team seemed to have arrived. "How you doing over there, Scott? I think this is ready." <TAG CYCLOPS>
