"We're going out on a mission," Jubilee said.
"Magneto wants everyone to get ready to go out as quickly as possible, then meet in the main hall. As far as I know, we're only going in to pick up some stuff from an abandoned site, but there could possibly be fighting. Maybe."

Celise lifted a brow, pausing to turn around and bring her arms into a fold. This was new. Her first mission with the Acolytes.
"Give me a moment to get ready." she answered, kicking her door back some as she stepped in. "I'll be there. "

"Alright, kickin'," Jubilee drawled.
"I'm off to find everyone else. You get those directions alright, Wanda?"

Alex had walked with X23 all the way to the base. He knew he probably shouldn't have shown her where the base was, but he felt that she would join them easily enough.
When he walked through the secret entrance, he knew automatically that something was up. The base was jumping like a cat on a hot tin roof. The sounds of people getting ready were obvious.
"Looks like you came just in time. Sounds like something's up." He said to the woman behind him before walking further down the corridor. If they were moving out, he wanted to know. He knew somewhere in this mess was Jubilee, and if anyone, she would know what was happening.

X23 was observing every detail of the base, memorizing the halls as they walked throught them. She was edgy and extremely alert, but on the outside she appeared calm. Her sensitive ears caught voices not too far, her keen nose telling her a little about the people who were down here. She looked up at Alex as he spoke, but said nothing in return.

"Havok, suit up," Jubilee greeted him without preamble as she met him in the corridors.
"We're paying a little visit to the school. Apparently it's been abandoned, but hey...someone could come back. And you've brought along a stray. How...nice."
She gace X23 the once over with her eyes.
"So, she joining? If she is, get her a suit and we're meeting in the main hall to get further instructions. I've still got more people to tag. You seen Gambit?"

Alex nodded to Jubes in response to her first statement, not wanting to comment about the lack of words that failed to come from her mouth.
"Once you see her in action, your thoughts will change." Alex said with full confidence, a smile playing around the corners of his mouth.
"And no, I haven't seen Gambit. I'll help you look for him, once I've taken care of her."

"Uh...huh," Jubilee said, giving X23 a closer look.
"I'll leave it to your judgement then. Also, Yuriko, Peter and Callisto. Actually, is Callisto still here or did she skip? I'm not sure, not that I really care...besides the fact that she represents a security risk."
She shrugged.
"I'm going to check the bedrooms first, then I'll swing back through the garage. If you want to grab the rec rooms and bathrooms?"

"I got it." He said, turning to go and then stopping abruptly. He had one more thing to say to Jubes before she left.
"Your handling this very well, Jubes. I'm...impressed." That was an understatement. She was handling the situation like a pro, with an almost militaristic air. To say the least it was impressive. To say the most it was shocking.
"Come on, let's get you a suit." He said to X-23 before leading her down the hallway to the women's lockers.
"Find something that fits and follow the others to the Main Hall. I'll be there shortly. Any questions before I go?" He might as well make it look like he was an officer, since he was.

Jubilee half smiled and shrugged slightly, before continuing on her way.
Yeah, well...I think I decided it was about time I grew up. My best friend slash mentor has disappeared, and I have someone who looks the same and acts the same but isn't the same in his place, except the doppleganger's going slightly crazy. I haven't heard from a new friend in days, and he'd said we'd met up again. I've been given responsibility and authority in the command structure of the Acolytes. There's too much going on to let me just be the comic relief anymore.
I wish I could just go back to that, but I can't. I've always been more mature then I let on - I'm just letting people see that now. And that doesn't mean I have to completely change. Just...let some of the slap happy funfun Jubilee mask go.
She knocked along the doors of the dorms.
"Anyone here?"

Immediately, X23's brow furrow and she started up to say something smart ass in return, but Alex beat her to it. His compliment made up for it. She sent the woman a poisonous look as she passed and returned her attention to Alex.
"Think I got it." She stepped into the room he directed and scrounge through the clothing. She found something small for her young, slender frame and changed into it, tossing her clubbing clothes over to a corner.
X23 looked out in the hall, no one there, but people were nearby. She followed the sounds of voices, guessing that's where Alex meant for her to go.

Alex nodded and took of down the hall, heading towards the rec room and checking it.
"Anyone in here?" He called out from the doorway, not wanting to waste time by actually going into the room. He still had the bathrooms to check after this, and he didn't want to spend a lot of time there either.

X23 stepped into the room Alex instructed, her dark eyes trailing over the face that were already there. None where fimilar, nor where any scents. She was tense and rigid, but just as she had entered the base, she appeared poised and calm.
(Is everyone out on vacation?)

No one answered Jubilee. She shrugged slightly, then opened the door to her room and closed it behind her. She had to get ready as well...then she'd go check the garages.
Opening her wardrobe, she took out her uniform. Her normal clothes were soon discarded on the floor, joining the many others already there in piled heaps. Jubilee was not a very tidy person on the privacy of her room. She slid into the black bodysuit and zipped it up the back, before picking up her bodyarmour.
*Her* Gambit had gotten it for her. It was based off his own design - chestplate and greaves that covered the bottom half of her legs including her knees, while allowing her full flexibility of movement. She slid her hands into fingerless gloves, the palms fixed with plastic grip that let her climb wherever she wished with little difficulty. Two wrist sheathes holding keenedged stiletto knives went on next, springloaded to leap into her hands with a quick flex of her wrists. After sliding her feet into black boots, also hiding slim knives, she picked up her yellow coat. Throwing it around her shoulders, she left the room.
Not daring to stop and think or look behind.
She headed for the garage, banging on the doors of the rooms as she went to announce what was going on. In case one of the others was in there. As she opened the door to the garage and stepped inside, flipping on the lights, she could see that Gambit's bike was gone. She growled in frustration, having no idea of where he could be.
And this was *important*, damn it!

Wanda had managed to find a uniform that fit her, mostly - it was a bit tight across the chest. It was a deep-red body suit with a wide neck and a black utility belt. She did not have a purpose for the belt, but it was attatched to the suit. She wore a pair of black combat boots that went halfway to her knees, and her long crimson beater. She wore the coat, because she felt a little ridiculous walking around in a skin-tight cat suit. She had decided to keep the scarf in her hair, to keep it out of her eyes.
The woman decked in scarlet strode to the main hall, where Jubilee had informed her where they would meet. Upon arrival, Wanda discovered quite a few faces she had never seen before. She smiled acknowledgingly and nodded to them, before going back to acting inconspicuous.
