Magneto had been watching the school of Xavier’s very carefully. He knew there were storm clouds brewing above it, and that it was only a matter of time before Xavier and his students would pay for the crime for which they looked all too guilty of.
When SHIELD struck the mansion, he knew that it would be over fairly soon. Xavier hardly seemed prepared to use the strength necessary to fight back, and as far as SHIELD went, they would be prepared to use whatever strength necessary to bring them in. It was just a classic example of the flaws in Xavier’s thinking.
As he made his way down the hall, Magneto passed Jubilee, and turned to address her, his face carefully neutral. “Jubilee, I need you to get the Acolytes prepared to leave. We are going to Xavier’s soon to be abandoned school. There are a few things there worth studying.”<br> With a faint trace of a smile, he turned and headed back down the hall.

Jubilee put two fingers to her temple and saluted casually, blue eyes alive with curiosity. Xavier's, abandoned? What could have happened? Something verrrrrry big...and she had a hunch it was to do with the staged show they'd put on for the benefit of the nation. How fun. How very amusing.
"I hear and obey, lord."
Not quite insolently sarcastic, but verging more then a little on the familair side. She turned on her heel, yellow trench snapping around her ankles as she walked away.
"I'll grab everyone and tell them, Magneto."
She walked down the hall to find people.

Her crammed mind swirling over past memories that Rogue had helped her dig up and over-come, Anna tried to grasp the idea of anoter part of her belonging in a completely different world. Giving up for the moment, she had decided to grasp some icecream instead. Heading for the front of the base, to leave for Braums, she hummed Pink's "RESPECT" to herself.
Floating down the hall, Rogue spotted Jubilee a little ways ahead, heading towards her in a business-like fashion. Tilting her head, she touched her sneakers down on the ground as the Asian approached her.
Wonder what's up.
"Hey, sugah. Where's the fire?" she asked, her voice lighter than it had been in a long while.

"We're going out on a mission," Jubilee told Rogue.
"Magneto's just told me to get everyone ready. We're going to Xavier's school...apparently, they left."
She shrugged and grinned slightly.
"I don't think we're staying away for any length of time. So just get into uniform."

"Um... ok," appearing a little uncertian of what exactly was going on, Anna's brow furrowed.
Turning to go back to her room, Rogue suddenly stopped, "Wait... um... Meet where? Is there any kind of briefing?"
Blunt and to the point, Rogue tried to think of the place she had last left her uniform. The closet... or was it in the tall dresser... Or maybe Ah still have it packed? Her room was still a mess form her move a few weeks before and she still had no ambition to clean it up and rearrange her sleeping quarters. There are so many distractions... Her mind caught on the problems she had been having, coping with the universal shift. Just the other day she had been looking for her right sneaker and found it inside her mini-fridge.

"Go to the main hall once you're ready. Be as quick as you can about it, ok? But you've got a while cos I still have to find everyone and tell them, and then they have to get ready as well," Jubilee said.
Her whole attitude had changed from the usually rambunctious, overly enthuasiastic teenager to a much more businesslike tone.
"So far all I know is we're heading out to Xavier's school to poke around and take what Magneto needs from there. I don't think there'll be actual combat, but no reason not to be prepared."

"Right, sugah."
Taking off, her feet hovering inches above the ground, she nodded curtly to Jubilee, her business like formality taking over, "See ya latah."
Flying smoothly down the hall, she swirved around the corner and off towards the women's dormitories.
Xavier's school? Ah'm still outtah the loop and Ah've been here how long? Blinking over the questions that popped into her mind, she shook her head and entered her room, shutting the door behind her.

Jubilee nodded, mentally ticking one Acolyte off her list.
"See you in a few, Rogue."
And then went off to try and find the other ones still on it. Maybe...hmm. She wasn't sure where the others would be actually.

Wanda sat by herself in the kitchen with a cup of herbal tea and an open text book infront of her. She was reading articles about mythology and lore that had caught her interest. Wanda hummed an old folk-song to herself as she tried her best to mentally translate the English to Romany.
She hadn't been in this place for more than a couple of days, and had yet to meet the leader of this team. But the members she did know were friendly. Wanda spotted Jubilee walking with determination past the door. "Jubilee!" she called. "Are you looking for something?"

"I'm looking for everybody, actually," Jubilee said, leaning on the doorframe.
"We're going on a mission. Just search and recon, I don't think we'll be fighting anything from what Magneto's told me. We're just going to check out a place that's been abandoned...and might have some info or nifty equipment things for us."
She looked Wanda over.
"You have something you can fight in? Get a uniform yet? If not, I think we have some spare suits..."

Wanda looked down at her attire. "No, I do not have a uniform."
She was wearing a long red skirt and white peasent-style blouse, along with a moderate collection of bangles and rings. "I do not think what I am wearing is appropriate. It is best if I use one of your spare suits for now."

"Alrighty, follow me then," Jubilee said, then paused.
"Or should I go find other people and let you finish your tea? I'm...not sure how urgent Magneto is."

"You can give me instructions where to go, and I will find them myself, yes?" Wanda closed her book after marking her page with a napkin. "I believe Magneto would have us be as efficient as possible."

"Yeah, he's like that," Jubilee agreed.
"Ok...you go left down the hall to the third crosscorridor, then right. Three doors down from the intersection on your left a room with spare uniforms in it. Find one that fits you, and then we're meeting in the main hall."

Celise trudged up the stairs in the dark. Carrying her new suit jacket and the department-store shopping bag in one hand, she checked her wristwatch with the other. By the time she reached her bedroom door her bagged hand weighed more than she could recall.
She set them down and reached for the doorhandle when she heard footsteps trailing toward her through the dark. Tilting her head, she eyed the young asian girl and lifted a brow of interest. There was no doubt that there was something professional in the young girl's stride. Somethin' was up.
"Hey... Jubilee, right?" Celise pushed open her door and set the bags just within the door. "What's up?"
