Kyle just sat there, listening to them talk. He wasn't sure how this would affect him, or what exactly was going on. What was SHIELD? Was it something like the Secret Empire?
His ears flicked back flat against his skull in a classical sign of animal unease, and the unrestrained shifting by Taela just put him more on edge. A soft subvocal growl rumbled through his throat, before he remembered where he was and stopped.

Christine's eyes flicked to where Kyle was sitting. She wanted to answer his question directly in his mind but thought better of it. Instead, she'd address what SHIELD was as if the group didn't know.
"SHIELD is an organization, military run, if my memory serves. They're supposed to defend the world or something to that nature. Chances are, the powers that be ordered SHIELD into action, I doubt Fury would have gone on his own," Christine said, returning to her relentless pacing. "They are the best at what they do - and what they do isn't pretty," she said, absently quoting and twisting one of Logan's quotes. "To fight them as we stand now would only get us caught. We need time to train and plan," she said.
'God help us all if all this stress triggers Phoenix to go Dark. I don't think the world could handle her again. I'd have no control over her - she'd be expecting Hank and Logan to try again,' she thought, her thoughts growing dark. She purposely kept those thoughts behind a tight shield so Jono didn't pick up on them - she knew he was the only one who could and would.

"Chris...sit down, would ye? Ye're making me dizzy," Rahne said, following the other girl with her eyes.
"First things first though. Let's all get some rest. Then we can come and look at this with a clear head tomorrow."

"Eh?" Christine said, freezing in her pacing. "Oh, right, stop pacing," she said, sighing quietly. "Sorry, I can't help but pace. I'm worried."
'Sleep would be good,' she thought to herself.

"Can't sleep, nightmares will get me," Christine muttered to herself, not caring if her foster sister. She sighed and looked up at the sky. "I think some of the staff has gone home so any empty rooms are fair game. But touch my room and *die*."

"Gotcha."
Jonothon opened the ramp of the jet once they'd touched down and then offered his hand to Paige to help her out of her chair.
"C'mon, pet. Let's see wot rooms are going."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Paige said, sending a worried glance to Christine.
"I'm fine," she said. "I'll follow you guys off shortly," she added, lying through her teeth. She wasn't going to sleep tonight - and if she knew Taela as well as she thought, Taela wasn't going to be sleeping either.

Taela sighed. She didn't see a need for her to grab a room. She could sleep anywhere, and she hadn't brought any luggage with her. She hadn't thought she would have needed any, but now she wished she'd grabbed her trunk and Kurama.
"Of all the times to make sure Kurama stays at home.... I just hope he finds some way to the woods. He can hide there and take care of himself."
The demon dragon, irked at Phoenix's comment, shot back at her with a barrage of violent and gorey images it normally reserved for when Taela tried to sleep- images it concocted of her friends and family being killed with her own draconic claws. Butt out, birdie. What I do here is none of your business. Why don't you fly off and peck at the dirt or something?

[glow=gold,2,300]Fnif. Please - was that supposed to scare me? I've seen scarier stuff while serving as Black Queen in the Inner Circle. Especially around mealtime. Whoo, boy, do not get your hands close to Sebastian or Leland when it's time to eat. Ye gads.[/glow] Phoenix answered, mentally shuddering.
Hey, Tae, how the hell do you put up with that dragon? Ye gads, it's obnoxious Christine sent, looking concerned for her friend.

Taela gave her a tired look. "Tell Phoenix to leave it alone, first off. I'm trying to get it to shut up and she's not helping." She stretched, yawning a bit. "I deal. That's about it. It's the most I can do. It's there, I deal...." She jumped down the ramp, watching Jono and Paige leave. A tiny bit of jealousy welled up, not at the two exactly, but more at what they had, what she missed and now feared she'd never again have. "Life goes on, whether I like it or not."

"Since when did Phoenix like listening to me," Christine said, shaking her head. "But I'll try, dear," she said. She glanced over at Jono and Paige and had to fight down the jealousy forming there.
'Kurt, accushla," she whispered. "Where *are* you?"

Kyle got out of his seat and thankfully left the jet as the bandaged boy opened the ramp to let in the scents of machines and salt air. The hulking teen stretched thankfully, then turned a snarl on the man waiting on the sidelines and still going on about the dragon.
"What th' hell you looking at?"
Taking full advantage of his twisted face and shining fangs to intimidate as he growled the question.

"Well, I guess I'll go and see if I still have a room or not," Rahne said quietly as she got out of her seat.
What if I don't? Bad enough the looks everyone gave me when I walked into the meeting where Hank told everyone how the world had been smashed. Like I wasn't meant to be there; or that this was the wrong me. I just hope I haven't been written out of Muir as well.
She walked down the ramp into the weak Scottish sunlight, not needing to shade her eyes as she looked around. Well, the base still looked the same...and Kyle was intimidating Clarence.
"Kyle, we'll find ye a room. Don't growl at people ye havnae even meet - It's not polite."

"Miss Rahne, it's nae 'at Ah disapprove ay either yer friends ur Miss Christine's friends, but where'd ye pick heem up frae? Ah dinnae hink yer Mum is gonnae be thrilled tae see his lack ay manners," Clarence said, looking more then a smidge uncomfortable around Kyle.
Christine looked at Rahne. "It was the first thing I asked, Rahne. It's as you left it - whatever that means."
(Miss Rahne, it's not that I disapprove of either your friends or Miss Christine's friends, but where'd you pick him up from? I don't think your mother is going to be thrilled to see his lack of manners)
