Finding her suit hanging on her closet door, Anna quirked an eyebrow. Clingy.
Pulling it on, she zipped up the side and turned around to eye her appearance in her vanity mirror. The suit was a light magenta/purple, with orange ribbing down the sides that traveled from the underside of her arms, starting at her wrists, down to mid-thigh. Across her hips sat a silver belt, which she clicked into place. Eyeing it warily, she didn't see any compartments and guessed that the assessory must have been merely for fashion. Ah'll figure that out later.
Thankful that the outfit's neck came al the way up underneath her chin, Rogue pulled on her boots, their color matching the bodysuit, and slipped on two pale grey gloves, giving herslef one more once over. Letting her shoulders slouch a little, she took note of the protective pads that rested on them, admiring the creative, geometric design for a moment before decidedly letting her hair down about her shoulders in long waves.
Looks good. Anna thought with a nod, heading for her door and out to the main hall where she spotted Wanda. Giving the woman a small smile, she noted her attempts at being inconspicuous and shook her head.
"Hey, sugah. Nice t' see ya again," Rogue smiled, leaning on the wall with a sigh.

Jubilee entered the room, running her hands through her hair in frustration. Gambit had gone off on his bike, and his cell wasn't available when she called it.
Magneto was going to be torked...
"You found a uniform, Wanda. Good," Jubilee noted, before turning her head slightly to look at Rogue.
"Hey, Roguey."
She grinned. It didn't do that much to help hide the slightly haunted look about her eyes.

"Hey, Jubes!" Rogue greeted the girl with a smile of her own. Feeling uncanny vibes from Jubilee, Anna tilted her head to the side and found a dark look in the girl's eyes, curious as to what was causing it.
"You okay, sugah? Ya look stressed."
Looking about the room, Anna spotted the absence of familliar faces, and shook her head. She had a good idea about what was bothering the Asian girl, and in truth, it was bothering her too. Since her talk with Logan the day before, Anna had been wanting to search out and find Gambit. If only just to appologize for misunderstanding his feelings. Tempted by the fates the day before by a new and mysterious aquaintence named Devon, Anna found it a struggle to even enjoy a nice evening without thoughts of the Cajun in her head. Annoyed by this, she knew that she'd have to tie up loose ends as soon as possible.
"Don't worry... Ah'm sure he'll be here," she patted Jubilee reassuringly on the shoulder and giving her a small nod.

Wanda smiled and approached Rogue. Then Jubilee appeared and made a comment about her uniform. "So it is suitable?" she asked.
Jubilee looked troubled. Wanda recognized that look. It was the same that reflected her longing to see her brother again. "So," she interupted, hoping that Jubilee would feel better if her mind was distracted, "when do you expect we begin the meeting?"

"He took his bike out, and he's not answering his cell," Jubilee said.
"And this is actually important."
She shook her head slightly, then smiled at Wanda.
"We'll start when everyone's here. It shouldn't take that long."

Tossing Wanda a worried look about Jubilee's obvious feelings, Anna tossed Jubilee a quiet smile. She hadn't known Remy that long, but she assumed that leaving without a trace was a typical thing that a man like him would do. Very independent. 'Course, aftah two nights ago, what guy (or gal come t' think of it) would feel like answering their cell for anyone?
"Ah'm sure he'll be notified one way or another. If it's one thing Remy is, it's well informed."
He's got street smarts. Ah can tell just from lookin' at him... Besides, not many roosters fly the coop for more than a couple days. Especially when it's the only place they can call a safe haven. Anna bit her lower lip, reassuring herself with these thoughts.
"An' if he ain't showin'... Well, Ah feel bad for when he sees Mags again," she shuddered involentarily.

X23 stood off to the side, unnoticed for now. She leaned against a wall, hands tucked behind her and a leg bent, foot on the wall. She listened intently to the other women's conversation, trying to learn as much as possible. She didn't know the person they were talking about, and she didn't know them so there was no reason to speak up. She shifted her weight to her other leg and looked around the room boredly.

With one leg propped up against the foot of her bed, both hands ran down the vamp of her leather boots, pulling the laces to tightly cut to a fit against her legs. Celise fastened them into a bow then worked her way up her pale-gray and black leather uniform, smoothening out the leather along her thighs and middle. Finding her uniform to be a perfect fit, quite curvacious--nothing she wasn't used to-- Celise continued on, pulling up the zipper on the front, past cleavage and a black, laced bra, to its end at the collar around her neck.
Once everything was set, her weaponry checked, her accessorized belt fastened and buckled, and her hair drawn back into a braid, Celise returned to her bed and retrieved her pair of leather gloves. She didn't realise her time had lapsed so much and figured the others were waiting for her arrival. Slipping out of her room, she pulled her door closed and started toward the Main Hall.
Entering said area minutes later, Celise lifted her eyes over the faces of the others already assembled. Saying nothing with barely a nod of acknowledgement, she returned her eyes to her hands, pulling on the gloves and flexing her fingers to gain a perfect fit.

Jubilee nodded slightly at Rogue's comment.
"Maybe he just got held up in some Guild business."
But Gambit said he wasn't talking to Jean-Luc anymore...I really want to call Tante Mattie, but he told me I couldn't. But dammit, she was nice to me too! And not just because I was her adopted nephew's protege. Also, talking to a seer could be a good thing.
She nodded slightly at Vapor when the other woman arrived.
"I think this will mostly be a stealth operation...which is why I think Magneto's going to be rather torked that Gambit isn't here. He's like the guy to see for that."

Upon not receiving an answer from the room, Havok left and started towards the bathrooms. He simply poked his head into both and yelled that there was a meeting in the Main Hall, sensing that he was already late.
When Alex walked into the room and looked around at the faces already gathered, he had to do a double take. He was the only guy in the room. Part of him didn't mind this, but the other part of him wondered something very important.
Where's Remy? He turned his head towards Jubilee, who was looking surprisingly stressed and simultaneously worried. Apparently she doesn't know, either. No need to go asking stupid questions, then.
He only recognized a few of the faces. X-23, Anna, and that was about it. He remained standing, waiting for the others to sit down before he did and giving an acknowledging nod to the both of them.

"Gambit will return. In my experience, men do not stray far from home when there are many women there awaiting his return." she winked to Jubilee. "Especially if they know what is good for them."
As a matter of fact, Wanda was beginning to feel more anxious about this meeting. There were so many people she didn't regognize or have any prior contact with. And she was nervous about meeting this Magneto.

The door flew open, suddenly, and silhouetted against the light of the hall stood a shadowy figure. With an unreadable expression, Magneto strode into the room and surveyed the bunch. It appeared that most of the Acolytes were present, though there was one key member unaccounted for, as well as a face that he did not recognize.
First things first. Before asking where Gambit was, Magneto came over to stand in front of the newcomer. Looking down at Wanda, his face hidden by the shadows of his helmet he regarded her with curiosity, not saying a word for a moment.
At length, he spoke. “I do not believe I know your name.” The truth was that he knew her from somewhere. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something about this young woman was extremely familiar.

X23 looked up when Alex entered, but before she could say anything, the door flew open. The man that entered seem to have authorty follow his wake. I guess he's the boss or somethin. He walked to her and paused before asking her name. The fact that she couldn't see his face much thanks to the helmet made her uncomfortable. But her own expression, excluding her narrowed eyes, was perfect emotionless.
She hesitated before speaking. "...X23." She was slighty annoyed. One of these days I'm gonna have to get an actual name. Her fierce eyes searched the shadow, her keen ears listening for the quick exhale of laughter at her name.

Studying her nails, provided the fingerless gloves, Celise glanced over to the shadow that grew along the floor, ending not more than just a few feet in front of her. Trailing the silhouette with her eyes, they fell upon the towering Magneto as he stood prompt and ready- cape draping his shoulders to compliment his regal attire.
She lifted one slender brow over the rim of her tinted shades.
It was then that she took notice of X23. Youthful with hints of brutality both in voice and posture. Lifting her eyes to Jubilee, she blinked a few times behind her shades, casually giving her a small smirk. Then she slipped her the peace sign. They'd have to engage in coffee more often. The talk was most enlightening.

'X-23?' Jubilee mouthed without making a noise, looking a little disbelieving as she glanced at the other girl.
That is one of the weirdest codenames I've ever heard...it sounds like a food additive. Chemical X! Created the Powerpuff girls. So obviously Chemical X-23 creates...angry, dangerous mutant girls? I dunno. But the idea of her in a Powerpuff Girl costume is going to give me the giggles if I don't stop thinking about it right now...
"Magneto, this is Wanda," she intervened.
"She arrived a couple of days ago, when Gambit sent her in. Something to do with a run-in with Creed in the mall. X-23 arrived tonight with Havok."
