OOC: Gambit parked the bike in the garage and woke Christine up. Both walked inside to wait for Taela before taking her on tour of the school
Christine looked exhausted, mentally and physically. The light hit her hair just the right way to make silver streaks sparkle in the dark brown locks. "I need a vacation," she murmured tiredly.

Glancing around the entranceway, Gambit was relieved to find it empty.
I don’ see no destruction, so de call couldn’ta been too important. Now, what be de chances o’ sneakin’ Chris up ta her room wit’out gettin’ caught?
“No sign o’ de Wolverine, so let’s get you ta your room before he decides ta t’row de welcome mat out fo’ us,” Gambit said over his shoulder to Christine, still scanning the vacant room.
It’s jus’ a little too quiet aroun’ here…

"Good idea," she yawned softly. She was worn out from everything piling up on her. Papers for school, training sessions with Wolverine, tutoring the younger students, running training sessions for younger students, having countless tests done trying to find out her exact link with Phoenix, and now Lilandra showing up was all that was needed to throw Christine into pure exhaustion and a near breakdown.

Taela landed gracefully next to Gambit's bike and changed back to human form. She looked around.
"So, this is the school?" She'd seen the two disappear inside so she walked in, pausing in the door to glance around. She walked over to Christine
"Dang, girl, don't you sleep? You look like you're gonna keel over!"

"Sleep?" Christine asked. "What's that?" She honestly didn't know anymore - especially given her insane schedule. "That's what happens when you don't have an insane schedule? Right?"

Taela raised an eyebrow at Christine.
"It's where you lay down somewhere comfy, close your eyes, and go semi-comatose for at least 6 hours." SHe shook her head. "I think that you need to march your little butt up to your room right now and take a nap. At least 3 hours, no interruptions." She yawned slightly. "Which really sounds good about now to me..."

The first thing Logan wanted to do after leaving the meeting was to search Erik’s room for any kind of maps or plans that indicated what he was intending to do with the Sentinals. It was a long shot, but he had to do this. The plan truly did seem good to him, and he knew that he could get in there and do what needed to be done without placing everyone in danger. That at least was what he was telling himself.
He made his way to the end of the hall and looked around. Coast is clear. In one deft move he opened the door and swung in, shutting the door behind him with a soft click. He moved over to a desk that was on the far side of the room and began his search. This is the best thing for everyone. Even if Beast couldn’t see it…and ‘Ro is too busy flirtin with her new boyfriends…Wait-what is this?
He opened a notebook that had several rough sketches of a building in the uptown area. He flipped the pages and smiled to himself. Bingo! It had everything he needed to know, outlined in crude but effective drawings. Everything from where the alarm systems were to when the guards changed shifts was detailed in there. He tucked the notebook under his arm and made his way out the door as quietly as he had entered.
With as long of strides that he could muster he hurried down the corridors in search of the others that were going to be accompanying him. The trick would be to get out of here unnoticed. Gambit was walking into the entrance just as he made his way down there. “Suit up bub, we got a mission to go on pronto!” He kept his normally booming voice somewhat hushed.

"Can't. In two hours I'm running a training sim for some of the younger students. Then I have spell check an assignment that's due in two days for one of the younger students," Christine said, yawning.

Just when he thought they were in the clear, Logan appeared at the top of the stairs, quickly making his way to the bottom.
Merde, I knew it be too quiet aroun’ here. I shouldn’ta even t’ought it.
Throwing a quick look at Christine and Taela as if to say ‘Run while you still can’, Remy walked up to Logan.
“Care ta tell me what dis mission be, an’ how I be so lucky ta be goin’?” he asked.
Is it jus' me, or is he a little more antsy dan usual?

"C'mon, you can dorm with me tonight. My roommate's out for the weekend, I think. Haven't seen her," Christine said, grabbing Taela's hand and ran by Logan.

"Time'sa wastin already." Logan said quickly and patted Gambit on the stomach with the notebook of plans he had retrieved from Magneto's quarters. "I'll splain it on the way."
Seeing Chris and a new girl there he sniffed the air. Alcohol? He narrowed his eyes a little, but did not have time to get into it right now. The girls didn't seem to be intoxicated, but they ran past him guiltily.
"Follow me." He said and headed down the stairs to the hangar.

Taela turned towards the man that was walking in the hall. She was curious as to who he was.
"Who's he?" She whispered to Christine.

Not’in’ like walkin’ in blind, but what else I gonna do t’night?
Shrugging his shoulders, he turned to the two girls.
“It’s been great, ladies, but it seems I got ot’er plans. Au revoir!” he said, giving them a sweeping bow, before turning to follow Logan’s retreating form.

"That's Logan, otherwise known as Wolverine. He views himself as my father," she said, glancing down and shuddering. "And I hope he doesn't find out about earlier..."

Taela shrugged. "Seems a bit gruff, but oh well. Why don't you want him to know about before? Ya just had a couple 'a drinks, it's not like you were fallover drunk." She followed Christine. "So, where's your room?" She contemplated changing into a different form, but decided against it.
