They found Storm!  What a pleasant surprise.  Umm Stay Tuned True Believers!

"Professor!"

"Good morning, Andrew.  I'm sorry to wake you after such a long few days, but students are getting ready to leave for the school."

"Oh, killer."  I yawned, sat up and stretched. "Do you mind if I get a little bit more ready?"

"Oh, not at all please take your time we'll be waiting in the dining hall."

"Thanks Professor."  He exited the small room on his wheel chair.  I rubbed the sand out of my eyes.  Yesterday wasn't real.  It couldn't be.  My life wasn't a goddamn action movie.  As I stood up, I realized it had to be real from the pain surging all over my body.  My poor back. 

I started to stumble into the bathroom, a nice shower might help.

After getting ready as best I could I walked down the steps of the large mansion towards the dining hall to find my new teammates.

I saw Kurt and andy talking around a plate of bacon.  I've decided Kurt was going to be one of the homies.  He had this aura about him that just seemed to vibe with what me and andy had.

"Hey guys, how's it shaking?"

"Things have been very interesting this morning, all the adults have been in The Professor's office since he woke you up."  Kurt said

"So?  It's been a hectic few days I can't say I'm surprised."

"Well me and Kurt we're talking about it and we think it's more serious than what they'll let us know."

"You mean they'd lie to us?" I asked

"Oh no, no ,no.  I think that really big things are going to be happening and they won't want to say anything they don't know for certain if they don't have to."  Kurt said

It made sense I guess.  No need to panic the already tense students.  I didn't understand why everyone had been so uptight since Kingston.  after we came back I called Rebbecca and she and her family we're fine and my sister was staying with friends.  I guessed the apartment got hit pretty hard.  Of course the event had been on the news, but not so much the mutant aspect.  The reports claimed domestic terrorists attempted to murder Riccarddi, but were thwarted by the national guard and an unknown hero.  Logan.

Casualties we're very low thank God, but reconstruction costs we're very high.  I spent the next day mostly in bed trying to sleep off the aches and pains and yesterday I explored the mansion a bit more and really got to know more of the 'gifted youngsters' like Scott and Jean.  as the teenagers went they seemed to be incharge and that seemed cool, they appeared responsible and cool.  Especially Scott, he had the dopest ride.  Some bomb convertible.

at dinner both nights I sat next to Kurt and someone new, but I tried my best to talk to everyone.  Back home I wasn't this friendly, but the mansion just made me feel really happy, plus most everyone seemed like they we're easy to get along with.

Just yesterday I played mutant ball with the majority of the guys.  It's just baseball, but using powers was expected, it was tons of fun.  Bobby and I killed it.  afterwards I had cordially met Piotr The Collossus and Warren Worthington III also known as The angel.  Piotr and Warren were both really funny, however I got the feeling angel didn't like being a mutant.  I guess because unless he had his wings hidden it was obvious that he was one.  I don't know, he came from money and he could fly those are two things most people really want.  

aside from hanging out around the mansion I had also been briefed on the x-men's past adventures and foes.  They told me about all the brotherhood mutants who had been in Kingston.  Pyro, Sabretooth, Blob, Toad, Quicksilver and even though no one had seen him Magneto.  The Professor said they had a difference of opinion and that didn't make them evil, just reckless.  If he could he'd like to help them see the light.
