X was waiting the others in their interaction. How they spoke to eachother, so casual so normal. When a hand suddenly was held out, X took no moments hesitation in taking it gently in her own grip. Of course, in normality she might have squeezed a bit to hard but somehow it seemed she didn't hold on tight enough. She wasn't fully a monster, not fully a trained bafoon. In fact, from what Sarah wrote she had changed ALOT. Alot since she was younger. That was probably thanks to her old Sensai, and thanks to Sarah herself. The two very people who showed her that she was more than their Weapon, that she was an actual person too. Even if she never showed it to them, she was grateful all the way through, in some small part of herself. Sarah knew that when she died, she knew that X was different, that X wasn;t their controlled project, and that one thought made X happy.
She stayed calm and silent as ever while they moved alone the path. The walk would do good, it always did. She loved the out doors, so much of her time was spent inside the facility that it was still a whole new world to her. Even after three years out. Even after everything she went through, with Kaiden and Sofia. One of her few friends she made along the way.
She felt her eyes watching the red skinned girl disappear before the other shiney one asked about her powers. Her hand let go of Kevins as she turned dead on to Cessily. Her eyes scanned her a bit before she said rather stoicly. "You are mistaken. " the shocked look on Cess' face was priceless as a hand shot up from X. The edge of her knuckles white from the hard grip of her fist. She clenched that fist and let it fly through the air with an amazing speed. Right towards Cessily's face. She was going to strke her...or so it appeared.
She stopped very short, very calculated and when she stopped blades slide out with a sknikt! sound. The metal blades coming just centimeters away from Cess' face. She could smell the nerves in the girl, her whole aroma, everything had changed thanks to this threatened feeling. " I can hear your when you whisper..Your as loud as a bear." her voice rang out before she suddenly moved her clawed fist down to her arm. Pulling the sleeve back of the not so cut right arm, she slide the blade across. Now even a flinch came from her face as the blood began to pour out of the self wound. Just then, out of the blue the skin began to reattach itself and heal. Within moments it was gone. Fresh wounds always healed very quickly, ones that were never recut always did.
"Every move you make..I'll know you made it. Every breath you take, I'll know as well. You can't hide now nor get away." it was eerie the way she spoke, her tone, so low and dangerous sounding.

Sometimes Jay got tired of the whole, ‘I don’t fit in I should just leave’ bit. He’d had plenty of hard times. He was dealing with it. Learning you can’t run from things. It didn’t solve anything. Not for him at least. He just nodded to Kevin. When Nori had shown back up, everyone went rushing around. That was the thing about life in the mansion, everything seemed to change so quickly. Move so fast. Jay felt that sometimes, if you blinked you’d miss it.
Eyes watched as another new face moved through the grounds. She’d come with Nori. Behind her keeping from drawing attention to herself. When he turned around the group that had been around him was all dispersed to their own little areas. Josh having been dragged off by Laurie. Anyone could see the attraction there, but Josh, well, Josh was Josh. Jay shook his head slightly, maybe one day he’d get a clue. Nori had vanished, more than likely to her room. And Kevin was now around two girls. Cessily and the girl he’d attacked.
Brows narrowed slightly as he watched then he moved some relaxing his features. “So, I guess your going to be staying here at Xaviers. It’s the best place anyone could be.” His eyes turned towards Kevin again, before waving his hand. Part of him felt like he needed to check up on Nori. So excusing himself Jay made his way towards the mansion and through the doors. There was someone new there, shoving things back into his pack. Jay picked up a few run away items and handed them to the boy. “New here huh? I’m Jay. If your looking for one of the Headmasters, it’s just down this hall. I think Miss Frost is in.”
Jay tried to be nice to everyone. Something his mother used to say. You get more flies with honey than vinegar. But over all Jay was a nice guy. Feeling a little lazy he spread his wings and with a few flaps he was in the air and lowering himself onto the third story landing, and the girls dorms. Moving down the hall he stopped at a door a knocked. “Nori you in there? It’s Jay.”

“Ahh, the normal…” he laughed slightly, but he could see the difference in Cess instantly. Why was she being so hostile? Although she could obviously be worse-for an off day like that…. Cess was being awfully not like herself towards X. Eyes seemed to scan the two girls-they were… competing? What was going on?
Then he saw X do her thing… X, with her claws… did she know that Cess could easily mimic that? Did X know that Cess was pure metal? What did X know, what did Emma tell her? Eyes scanned the girls again. Something was up. " I can hear your when you whisper..Your as loud as a bear." Then the claws extracted, X showed her how everything worked.
“Xevannah… please, that’s not necessary…” he pushed her arm down slowly, and watched as the claws retracted. However, X continued to stare towards Cess. Something that made him feel uncomfortable, yes.
"Every move you make..I'll know you made it. Every breath you take, I'll know as well. You can't hide now nor get away." X said in an eerie tone, something that made Kevin’s brows knit. He knew she wasn’t like this, she could be so sweet.
“X, has extraordinary powers I’d say, right Cess?” he smiled some and pointed to her neck. “When we got into our brawl, her neck kept reknitting itself around my hands… I couldn’t hurt her.” He nodded some before pulling X’s hand back into his gloved hand. “By the way, how are Brian and Santo?”

Penance walked slowly from the room, sighing softly and silently to herself. She eyed them all, everyone she walked passed, looking for those with the red and black uniform. Hellions, she was now assistant to the Hellions. In one hand was a tape with all information on the squad-but she knew… knew that someone in this group would NOT be happy she was here, if not all of them.
As she watched the group, she saw the winged man help another with his things. Taking in the scent, she recognized it instantly as Paige. Eyes narrowed-what in the world? Something was going on. However, the other one looked upset about being here.
Moving towards the other one, she crouched and held up one last bag and stared at the now lone boy. How she wanted to tell him not to be scared, but she imagined, after all this time being how she is, that she must be scaring the crap out of him.
Taking a breath, she eyed him again ,but still, she was silent as ever. In the back of her head, she couldn’t stand this, that one-the one with the wings… he had the Guthrie scent… it bothered her a bit.

She laughed herself along with Kevin. He knew how boring the world at the mansion could be sometimes. And how dull Brian and Santo can be, after all their immaturity level was about the size of a carrot. So when it came to it, they weren't always the girls best choice in hanging.
While they walked she was taken aback by the turning around of X. Then her fist came up and Cess' previously amused expression was over taken by a shocked on. Pupiless eyes wide and form shifting a bit. She was becoming straight and hard as a board. Her fist! She was going to hit her! With a flinch of the face she waited the contact but nothing came. A very much shocker in itself as well.
Slowly she opened her eyes and listened to the weird tone of the girl, her words. She was like some freak..some freaky stalker or something. Cess gave a face as sour as anything and with a seriously voice, even though X took it all away. She couldn't help but mutter. " That was not cool." in a small voice before her composure lightened a bit. She was about to leave, leave the two alone but Kevin began talking to her again so she stayed. She didn't like this X yet, and she didn't trust her, not around Kevin and not around anyone. " I guess her powers are extraordinary. Kinda remind me of someone elses.." but she couldn't put her finger on it.
When he told her about how the girl healed from Kevin's touch and didn't wither, she couldn't believe it. It was pretty obvious to that her whole attitude was drastically changing. She was becoming colder and well ready to take off again. How the hell could this happen to her? Only SHE was supposed to be able to touch Kevin, thats what made their relationship special. Thats what kept her hope alive. She'd have to come between the two and flaunt it all as best she could it seemed. With a wave of the hand she rolled her eyes towards the questioning about Brian and Santo. " They are the same as always. A girl can only stand so much of them. Thank god the team has Julian and especially you..or else I don't know what I'd do." with a smile her expression shifted again to a excited look . " OH How do you like my new pants eh?" she turned around a bit to show them off and walked around in front of him. " They don't make me look fat right?"

Her brow raised a bit when Kevin pushed her arm down. This Cessily wanted to know why she was special or well different so she showed her. Why was that wrong? She was used to people marveling over it all but here she was being bad with it apparently. Oh well.
Something about this girl X did not like right now. Maybe it was the fact she was bothering X's quiet time, or the fact she said things to try and not let X hear them. Or maybe it was because she was acting rather hostile and what was the word..jealous towards X. Either way, she wasn't liking it now. Why she was jealous was beyond her really. The girl seemed to be some time of metal, thats a pretty nifty gift if you asked X.
And like any animal in the wilderness of the world, X was on her alert guard when it came to Cess. Like the red skinned woman, she would watch her closely. She would calculate and recalculate their every move when it had something to do with her. She felt threatened and challenged, things which X did not like. So her stoic stare and expression never lifted from Cessily. That was until Kevin took her hand.
The pair of eyes slowly glanced down towards the digits and she was reminded of Sarah some how. He was nice to her, like her Sensai and Sarah..both of them were nice. She loved both of them, they were her... 'family'. The way he kept her close and watched her made her feel like she was perhaps needed here..like she was amongst 'family' again. She wanted that, she needed that.
Raising a brow just slowly she popped the question that was on her mind when the names first began. " Who is Brian and Santo? Are they part of our Squad as well...and Julian?" she was curious really. She liked to know everything when it was needed, to make sure she had it all under control.

He enjoyed being with X, she seemed to be the only one, next to Cess, that would even want to show (in her own way) affection to him. See to him, Cess was like his sister… he couldn’t go anywhere with that… but X. She was Mysterious, beautiful, powerful… he liked that… it made him smile when she took his hand tightly as he took hers.
“Brian and Santo, as well as Jullian, are all on our team. Brian is known as Tag… he has this weird power that is like a game of tag, hence the name I guess… Santo, well he’s as dumb as a bag of rocks, and technically he is one, but he’s loyal so you might like him, he’s also known as Rockslide. And Jullian…” he huffed slightly under his breath-it was known throughout the group that Kevin and Julian were ok, but there was some rough patches that they both seriously needed to get over. “He’s Hellion, who our team is named after-sorta… he raises hell in every sense of the word, and he’s our ‘leader’ sadly, so his head is in a way, stuck up his ass-but I have a strong feeling you’ll like him, he’s a telekinetic.” He shrugged…
Squeezing X’s hand assuringly he smiled once more before walking away from the rest of the group with Cess and X. “So anyway, who has any ideas for what we can do… less we go find Brian, Santo, and Julian?” There almost was a laugh there, cause he fit in with both teams, and he knew he didn’t always agree with the Hellions or New Mutants so sometimes he took turns with each group he hung out with. However, now X was with them, and he wanted her to get to know the gang.

Cess was about to open her mouth yet again but she didn't. Instead Kevin took the floor and she went silent. Watching the pair as she walked backwards. This girl was on her team but she was also becoming her own rival. Cess didn't like competition, well she did but not this kind. She didn't know how the heck she was going to work like this.
He gave the options of what they should do, and with a nod she smirked and gave thought to it all. Of course she hadn't seen Julian yet and So wanted to know how the heck his summer went. But something else grabbed her attentions. Suddenly there was a ruckus coming from not far away, Santo and Brian were obviously up to something and like usual Cess was going to go see whats up.
"You two do whatever...Looks like I have to babysit again." How could she do this? How could she just turn on the pair like she was doing and walk away. Maybe because she knew a few more glances at the hand holding and she was bound to do something drastic. "See you two later!" she shouted with a wave before she was off. Dashing towards the sound of what seemed like laughter and a very disgruntled other student.

She listened to Kevin as silent as ever. She was more of that type anyways. She wasn't much of a talker, she wasn't much of a actor, wasn't much of anything but a body who listened and agreed. That or voiced her opinion, which usually was a lead into violence. Whatever it was, she never said to many words. It was safer that way right?
His explaination of the others, Santo, Brian, Julian, it was all pulled and plastered into her mind. It knitted itself through the memory cells and would forever be there. She never forgot important things, information, dates. She had to give credit to her makers for one thing, they trained her well. When the shiney-one left she glanced towards Kevin again.
"We are named after this Julian? Does that not create a problem with ego. Is that going to be difficult to deal with?" She was worried about that, there was one thing alot of people knew for sure. Well, the X-men all knew it well enough anyways, X doesn't like taking orders anymore. X likes to do things her way when she thinks they need to be done. She didn't care what anyone said. "Perhaps this 'Leader'" the word itself was soar on her tongue. " Should meet his new team mater. After all, we wouldn't want him to be surprized and ruin whatever plans he had right?" She was just trying to be logical. Not many people liked changes, especially to teams. So this would be interesting indeed.
