[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Chapter 14-
The next day all the teenagers came downstairs at separate times, not really wanting to face their parents, who would actually be home within the next few hours. Desiree was staying up in her room, not wanting to face any of them at the moment.
Zaira, Cassie, Renee and Jade walked into the kitchen where Angela, Angelo, Jett and Izzy were already. “We’re in some major trouble, aren’t we?” Cassie asked looking at all the glum faces.
“Correction you all are in trouble, we’re eighteen” Jett told his sister pointing to him and Izzy.
“Not lettin them go down alone mate...we were involved ya know that”
“Ok so we were, but we didn’t go in there illegally”
“He’s right you know,” Jade said “We shouldn’t have gone along with her and that stupid idea” Jade snapped. “All that family ever does is cause trouble you know that. Have you heard about Mr. LeBeau’s past...It wouldn’t surprise me if the thieves daughter went in the same direction” She pauses “Its her fault we’re in this situation you know, nobody else’s”
“Your telling me your ready to blame this on Desiree” Cassie asks shaking her head. “That’s incredible. Let one person take the blame so everyone else can get off easy, that is just…so like a Summers you know that”
“You can not just blame this on her, she may have given us the idea, but she didn’t force us to go” Angela stated. “Now we can either continue this or go and receive our punishment maturely”
“Shuddup would you, nobody wants to hear that bullshit from you Angela” Jade said.
“Nobody wants to hear your bullshit Jade…c’mon you really think we’d get off any easier if you just blamed it on one person? That isn’t going to help us at all” Renee said. “D wanted to have a bit of fun, it was her birthday, and you know what? Up until we got caught I was having a lot of fun, I don’t know about you guys but I’m not going to sit here and listen to her and ‘I am perfect I can’t take the blame’ shit anymore I’m out” she says and leaves the room.
“I’ll see you guys later” Cassie follows her friend out almost immediately. Zaira sits at the table with her head in her hands, while Angela and her brother glance at each other.
‘ This shows how good friends we are’ Angie told her brother in their bond. ‘One little thing and we break apart like this’
‘I know, and its bad, D and Jade never got along before, and you know we’re going to have one of those meetings later’
“I’m going to go check on Doll” Izzy says and shoves passed Jade.
The red head girl glared at him. “Make sure you keep her clothes on” she remarked and he turned around to be met immediately with blue eyes of anger.
“I have heard about ya bein’ a bitch towards Doll since she moved here…listen up ya damn yank…while I’m here I won’t tolerate that, Now keep yer bloody trap shut before I really get pissed” He snapped. “That’s yer warnin’ “ His accent had gotten deeper with the anger that went through him. He looked at the others and then left.
“I don’t think you want to do that again,” Angela said. “If your smart anyway” She says and walks out, Angelo following his sister.
“You have something to say too Zaira, I wouldn’t be surprised, or what about you Jett”
Zaira stood up and walked over to Jade. “I’ve known Desiree for longer than you and she has treated us all with equal respect, she has taken the blame for several things that we have done in the past and now when she does something wrong your suggesting that she take the blame” Zaira questioned. “You know…I thought you were better than that, not even your parents would be like this.” She said. Jade grabbed her arm and was suddenly thrown to the ground with a punch. “Don’t put your hands on me again”
Jade looked at Zaira with widened eyes, never expecting that type of reaction from the usually calm girl. Jett watched in silence as everything went down. He was the only human in the group, believe it or not he took after his dad. He watched the group and started laughing a bit. “I’m glad you find this humorous”
“Oh I do, and you want to know something, I bet you’ll be hit more than once next time you open that damn mouth of yours.” Jett helped Jade up. “You know, we’ve all been friends for awhile, maybe you should chill out some…just loosen up.” He tells her. “I know what you’re like Jade, and I have a pretty good idea of WHY you’re like this”
“You don’t know anything, and don’t try to understand me Jett” The older boy just shakes his head. “Why don’t you go find Desiree, since you love her so much, Jett…why don’t you face facts the girl is never going to like you…”
Jett put his hand up right there causing her to stop. “You’re pushing everyone away, and if you continue to start shit you won’t have anyone left. I’ve known you for as long as I can remember. You weren’t always like this…I’m leaving now before you can say anything else, sometimes I just can’t control my anger” He says with a glare and walks out. “Just remember, your like my sister Jade, and you don’t push your brother away so don’t push me away” with that he walked out of the kitchen to find the others.
Time seemed to pass quickly that day. All the teens were set off into groups of two or three and refused to speak to anyone outside of the group. Desiree and Izzy were sitting in the recreation room. Angela and Angelo were sitting outside, Angelo playing guitar and Angela singing softly to the music he was playing. Renee and Cassie were up in their room talking about nothing of importance, but carefully avoided the subject of what happened the night before. Jett was venting his anger out in the danger room willingly. David was unfortunently called in and was sitting by the pool, knowing he would be in serious trouble with his mother when she came home.
Jade sat in her room by herself, thinking about what each of her friends had said to her. Her cheek was slowly bruising where Zaira had hit her and she had put ice on it. Zaira, was the unlucky one of the group, she was talking with Logan.
Nira, the girl the group had picked up the night before, was wandering around the place until she came to the room where Desi and Izzy were. “Umm...hi” She tells the two and she looks around. “Umm you wouldn’t happen to be able to tell me where I am would you?”
“Dis is da rec. room sugah”
“Oh...hey I know you don’t I know…saw you in New Orleans last summer with Jean Luc LeBeau”
“Oui…dats meh Gran’pa”
“Oh…he’s a good man” She tells her with a smile. “He took me in a few years ago that’s how I know him” She looks around. “You guys have a lot of neat stuff here you know…I remember when I had stuff like this”
“What happened”
“People killed my parents” Desiree’s eyes widened when she said this.
“Dats horrible”
“Yeah…I remember it like yesterday…and I was only three when it happened” She pauses “It doesn’t bother me anymore…I mean, they died protecting me, so I know I’ll see them again one day”
“If ya eva wanna talk about it..ah’m here an’ meh Uncle Kurt is a Priest…believe me…ah go t’ him about ‘lotsa stuff. He’s a great listener”
“Aye, he is” Izzy added with a grin.
“Oh, I forgot, I’m Nira”
“Ah’m Desiree and dis goof ‘ere is Izzy”
“Your boyfriend?” Desi nodded. “I can tell, you know you guys look great together”
“How old are ya”
“I’ll be 15 in April…I think”
“We gotta celebrate..dat is if y’r plannin’ on stayin’ ”
"This is alot better than the streets, so i'll be staying. And recently I discovered I was a mutant."
"So y' were only scared of Logan cuz.."
"Those claws" She says shivering. "Is that his power or something."
"Sorta...he got da power t' heal...an' from what ah heard da claws were dere behfore da adamantium was put on dim."
"Weapon X?" Nira asked. "I was temporarily insane when i worked for a group of people..one of them was in it..I think they did something similar to him. I dont know though" Desi nodded. "This place is huge though.." She says trying to change the subject.
"Were ya worth the group called the brotherhood"
"How'd you guess?"
"Sabretooth..Victor Creed" Izzy said with a shrug. "Not the first time they would try and recruit a kid for their cause"
"That was him, the large cat..." Nira laughed "i tried giving him a ball of yarn as a funny joke..well needless to say he didn't find it too funny..the blue lady.." She stopped seeing Desiree's eyes widen as izzy's does. "Umm does blue lady offend you?"
"Non..its jus...she's ma grandma"
"Wow..thats amazing.."
"Non not really..she tried t' kidnap meh when ah was 2 an' din when ah was four"
"Your right, not amazing"
"She's actually onleh meh mama's foster mama..but its da onleh one she eva realleh knew so they ah guess were close..mama don' talk about it vereh much."
"And Jean Luc...you said he was your grandfather"
"Oui..He adopted meh Papa when he was lil"
"Wow..thats is interesting...you got a weird family"
"Ah know" Desi laughed. Nira then turned towards Izzy.
"Whats your family like?"
"Its only me and my Pa'" Izzy stated. "We get along fine with just eachother"
"So he lives here?"
"Naye..in Oz"
"Oh" Nira said. "What about.."
"Don't got a Ma'...I did but not anymore" Izzy tells the younger girl sternly, trying to get her to drop the subject.
"I know how that is.." Nira said. "I lost my parents because my dad was in some kind of work...and I have no idea where my brother is, so I was left to fend for myself. There was this lady that helped me when I was younger…she was elderly and thought I was the most wonderful child, she was really sweet, but when she died I was seven, that’s when I took up thieving, I was actually in Texas, so when I moved, I went east and ended up in Louisiana.” She shrugs and stops her story there because of an interruption.
“Umm, That Lady didn’t sound too happy” Nira said and glanced around, she saw Desiree halfway out the window and Izzy heading in the same direction. “Didn’t she just say..”
“Its da las’ door in da hall, as y’ step out of dis room and turn right an’ y’r gonna see it” Desiree tells her.
Everyone went into the room with their head down, their parents all already there. As the door shut Scott Summers looked around the room. “We’re missing two”
“Should have known” Warren mumbled.
“Whats dat supposed t’ mean?” Remy asked with a glare.
“Both of ya stop that”
“So dad you decided to make an appearance” Angelo said “We must really be in trouble if we pulled you away from work” Elizabeth was silent as her son spoke. She stood a distance away from Warren with her youngest daughter Shae at her side. The thirteen year old looked petrified by all the angry adults. “Or was it Paige that we pulled you away from?”
“Angelo”
“Father”
“ ‘lo I’d just drop it” Angela said. “So what if he’s off screwing another woman”
“That’s enough, both of you” Elizabeth said.
“Well how long has it been since he’s seen us mum, how long?” Angelo asks.
“You know I would have..”
“Bullshit” the twins said as one.
“Angelo Michael” Elizabeth scolded
“Angela Michelle” Warren said. The two fell silent. Shae looked at her mom.
“Why are they so mad at Pa’?” The young girl asks.
“He forgot to do something sweetheart”
“So it doesn’t have anything to do with that boy right there?” the young telepath said. Angelo and Angela turned wide eyed. They hadn’t known about another kid, and he was not much younger than them. Just as Angela’s mouth was about to open Desiree and Izzy walked in.
“Now that everyone is here, I’d like to know why you were all at a club last night with these, underage and lying to Logan about it” Scott questioned and tossed the fake Ids onto the table. Remy walked over to them and picked them up, looking closely at each of them. His eyes then went to Desiree.
“Outside now Petite”
“Oui M’sieur”
Desiree hurried out of the room without even a glance to her angry father. Scott turned back to the rest of the group. “What were you all thinking, I’m leaving the main punishments up to your parents but as a group you will be cleaning the hangar, in the danger room at 5 a.m every morning for the next two months, and your new curfew is7 o’clock”
“Dad!” Jade exclaimed.
“I don’t want to hear it Jade, you know the rules and you disobeyed them, now go to your room until your mother and I get there” Scott says sternly. The red head girl leaves the room and slams the door.
“What did I tell you, we’d end up in the danger room” Cassie said to Renee.
“And as for you” Emma Frost said to Renee, who slowly backed away. “Your going to Boston with me, and will be going to the Academy there”
“What!” Renee exclaims. “I am not going there no matter what you say…Dad!”
“I think it’ll be good for you Renee, just for awhile” Bobby said.
“I hate you…I hate you both!” She says and leaves the room slamming the door behind her. A few minutes later they could hear another door slam and a bloody curdling scream.
“I’ll go talk to her” Bobby said immediately and left the room.
“We’re not finished, we still have our son to take care of”
“We can’t punish him Emma he twenty -one”
“He’s going to Boston, we’re no longer paying for his home”
“What!” David yelled. “That’s some shit you know that, I’m out, don’t bother looking for me either” He says and walks out of the room.
“Emma” Bobby said with a sigh. “We can’t force him to do anything” She looked at him with a glare. “Ok I can’t force him to do anything” he tells her and goes towards the door. “But I can go talk to our daughter” He says.
“He’s not going back on what we decided” Emma tells the group and leaves the room to follow her husband.
“Cassie” Kitty Pryde started and looked at her daughter’s fearful eyes. “We’re going to England for a time” She tells her and turns to Jett. “We all are”
“I don’t want to” Cassie says as calmly as possible. “I have friends here Mom please”
“We’ve already arranged it” Pete Wisdom spoke up to help out his wife.
“I don’t want to leave either” Jett stated simply. “I doubt separating everyone will work anyway”
“That isn’t you punishment Jett” Pete told his son
“You kidding me” He says. “That’s the worst thing possible”
“Believe me, letting your sister go into a club underage deserves far more punishment than just moving” Kitty tells him. “I thought you would have at least stopped your sister from doing something stupid like that, but you went along anyway. You both will be going to England with us and you will both be going to a boarding school, you will not be trained and you will not come back here until you learn to respect what we stay, do you understand that, both of you?" she asks them.
"Yes ma'm" Both of them say and fall silent with that last bit said.
"All of this because Desiree decided to get us fake Ides to get us into the club?" Jade asks. Cassie turned to her.
"No" She says. "It isnt JUST Desiree's fault its all of ours, think about it Jade, she may have gotten them for us but we could have easily said no to them. It isnt that hard, so this is as much our fault as hers" She snaps. "Now if you don't mind I have to start packing because i'm moving" she says and storms out.
"I'm not going anywhere"Jett says trying his best to stand his ground. "I've lived here since i was 10, I'm not leaving"
"Jett" Kitty said in a motherly voice.
David walks back in with Emma behind him. "Jett if you don't go we are not paying for your house anymore"
"I'm old enough to be on my own mom, I can take care of myself" He says.
"Don't you speak to me like that David Drake you understand me i am still your mother"
"You still treat me like a child" He snaps "If you didn't notice i agreed to take them because they need some excitment in their lives, look how pitiful this is. They stay around the mansion after school everyday and on the weekends, they needed to get out and have some fun, Desiree only provided their admittance. I was the back up, i went to keep them safe from everyone else. They needed to get out, its a new club its well protected i have been there Mom. Do you really think I am that irresponsible to take them somewhere dangerous"
"Did ya know that Desiree and Isaac were in the back alley?"
"They went out for air Rogue, thats it, and i knew Izzy would take care of anything if it came up"
"Well my lil girl was almost shot"
"You think i woulda let them!" Izzy exclaimed from his spot in the corner now. "Ya known me since I was eight and ya still don't trust me" He asks "That hurts ya know why, because i love Doll more than anything in this world, she is the only person beside my Pa' that really understands me. You wanna know why we've been around togeter for so long, that day we met, ya don't know the whole story, ya don't" he says stepping forward. "That boy attacked her on the playground Rogue, a five year old and immediatley the other blokes started messing with her seeing her 'demon eye'. I was with those guys, they wanted me in there lil group. I stepped up and protected her because the look on her face was so damn frightened. I have only seen that look once before and that was when my pa thought he had lost me, It scared me, I wanted to protect her. ya think i planned on becoming best friends with her, ya think i planned on falling in love with her. She told me when she was eight that you two sat her down and told her she had the power of an empath. She was scared then too. And she told me she felt what i did all the time. Ya don't know how i feel about myself, all ya ever saw was happy go lucky Izzy. Do you know that almsot every person in america knows my pa' as a terroist, do you know that i look almost exactly like my pa', I have been compared to him, they all think i'm a terrorist now, the bloody brotherhood is after me." He stops and turns around to see John right there. 'Pa'"
"Isaac" he says and looks at Rogue. "You don't trust my boy, he's going home with me, no reason we should be here." John says and motions for Izzy to go to the door.
"Pa'..I can't leave Doll"
"Yer old enough to make that decision, but I don't think the X-men will ever look past ya being my son"
"Pyro"
"John" Izzy corrected looking at Scott. "His name is John, St. John if ya wanna get formal, but he isn't Pyro, not right now" Scott was surprised by the outburst, but didn't show it. "C'mon, i wanna go, i'll be back later, Pa?"
"Coming Isaac, just wait outside for me" Izzy nodded and walked out of the room. "I thought you knew him well enough Rogue"
"It meh daughter he put in danger"
"Aye, it didnt become dangerous though, and if what logan said was true, He pushed her behind him. I know my boy and he wouldn't ever let anything happen to her. Where's Remy, i wannna talk to him about this"
"He talking.."
"nobody asked you" John snapped at Warren who had spoken up for the first time.
"He's talkin' to Desiree" Rogue said "John can ah talk to ya?" she asks "Without all of them" John simply nodded and walked out of the room.
Desiree and Remy
Desiree sat down in the control room of the Danger room, her father sitting across from her. "Petite. Logan told me"
"Ah know" she whispers.
"I didn't tell y' Mama" Desiree looked at him with wide eyes. "An' I don' plan t'..she wouldn' ever let y' see da family again, but next time y' go down t' y' Gran'pas I'm goin t'." Remy states. "Y' went against what I said petite, I told y' not t' get involved wit dim y' know dis"
"Papa, ah did dis by choice, not t' go against y'..ah jus'..ah wanted t' do somethin dat could keep meh different from da group"
"Well y' did it" Remy stated with his head in his hands.
"Y'r not angry Papa"
"Non"
"Why/" She asks
"Because it my fault, y'r jus' like me Petite, an' I didn' wan' dat"
"Papa.."
"I didn' wan' y' gettin my eyes..I wanted y' t' have y'r mothers. I didn' wan' y' t' be hated..I didn' wan' y' t' be a mutant, i knew dat would come...I wanted y' t' have da life I didn' Petite"
"Papa..ah love meh eyes, ah love how ah am....don' t'ink dis please papa" She tells him. "Ah remember y' told meh y' past...ah know what y' did papa, ah realleh did listen when y' told meh. Ah undastand all da risk ah'm takin by everyt'ing dat ah do, ah know Papa. Y' an' Mama did a good job raisin' meh, an' ah'll probably regret joinin' da guild but ah did, an' dey do take care of meh, Lapin...he makes sure dat he goes wit' meh everywhere when ah'm down dere, he knows dat da 'ssassins don' lahke y'..an' dey know ah'm y'r daughter an' dey would have a lotta trouble if somet'ing happen t' moi" she says.
Remy nods "Some rules though Petite. If y' follow dese din y' won' get int' any trouble by me an' y'r Mama won' find out: Desi nods. "Don' use da skill nowhere but when y' wit da guild. Don' tell nobody about it an' dat includes Izzy..Y' already told him didn' y'" She nods "Dats ok..he da only one right" Desi nods again."No more of da stunts dat y' pulled last night..oui"
"Oui M'sieur"
"Good, y'r grounded anyway for a month an' y' gotta clean our cars every week during dat time, Danger room session at six o'clock every night with me..an' y' got dat mornin one wit' Logan. Y' come straight home from school an' do y' work, no TV till its done, y'r gonna help cook dinner on Thursdays"
"Dats.." She stops looking at him and just nods seeing his serious face.
"Dis gonna be fun petite, don' worry" He tells her and stands up. She does too and he hugs her. "Don' ever do dat again" He tells her in a whisper. "When Logan tol' me..it scared da hell outa me petite" Desiree hugged him back and they stayed in the embrace for a few minutes. "As f'r Izzy"
"Papa?"
"Oui"
"Y'r not gonna let 'em send Izzy away are ya?"
"Non...don' worry" he tells her. “Don’ wanna see ‘im ..”
“Papa?”
“Oui?”
“Izzy an’ ah are together an’ ah am not havin’ sex” she points out. Remy stepped back.
“Petite?”
“Oui”
“Y’ do anything like dat before y’ married din da boy will be dead.”
“So y’ wan’ meh t’ marry him?”
“Didn’ say dat”
“But..”
“Y’ know what ah said”
“Ah’m just teasin’ y’ papa” Desi says trying not to laugh.
“Petite?”
“Oui?”
“Atleas&# 8217; try an’ look like I punished y’ enough” She nods with a grin on her face.
“Dat means wipin’ dat grin off y’ face” He says walking out of the room behind her.
Rogue and John
Rogue and John were now in the recreation room talking. “John, Ah didn’t mean to say that ah didn’t trust your son with meh daughter..”
“Rogue..”
“No please let meh finish” She says “Isaac has been lahke a son to me since Desi met him. He’s a wonderful boy and ah do love him. But..”
“Stress Sheila” John said. “Izzy shouldn’t have let Desi go to the club. I know. But he would have protected her with his life if he had to”
“Ah know. That’s what scares meh John.”
“Losing either one aye” John said. “Listen. I know how it is. Desiree gone to our place millions of time and she started just walking in without knocking after awhile. She’s like my kid too, except..”
“They’re dating”
“Aye. And Isaac loves her.”
“Ah know…Desiree loves him too”
“Ya think we can settle this to where they don’t have to separate again?”
“Ah think we can sugah” Rogue says smiling
“Thanks Roguey”
“Didn’t ah tell ya not to call meh that St. John” She laughed and the two hugged. “Ya really have changed John, ya really have”
“Became a parent Sheila, didn’t want my boy goin through what I did”
“Ya raised him well,”
“Thank you”
“Especially for having to do it alone..”
“Mama” Desi said walking into the room. “John!” She exclaims and hugs him.
“Not here on a good visit Desi…well I am but after hearing what happened.”
“Please Don’ take Izzy ‘way please” Desiree said looking the older man straight into his eyes begging him.
“He isn’t going anywhere” John told her.
"Merci... an' ah promise nuttin lahke dis will eva happen again" She tells them both "Ah swear dat..Ah betta get back t' da meetin'" desiree backs up towards the door and then disappears.
"Remy spoke to her"
"I think he scared her to death"
"She woulda ended up doin dis one day..ah'm a bit glad she did it now din when she was alil younger" John nodded in agreement with.
Everyone that had left the office reunited half an hour later with a new subject. Each of the teenagers had been punished by their parents, although some of them were putting up a fight. David and Jett were already talking about finding jobs and possibly becoming room mates somewhere in the city.
Renee couldn't get out of moving but she was being as stubborn as possible and refused to speak to either one of her parents. She had frozen the door shut for atleast fifteen minutes before Bobby came up from the balcony and came in, only to have her scream at him. That only stopped when Emma walked in through the balcony.
Cassie was doing about the same. She was standing as far away from Kitty and Pete as possible. Jett stood next to her trying to calm her down a bit, but was having hardly any effect. When she started crying he hugged her and glared at their parents. David took the younger girl into his arms also to try and calm her down.
Angela and Angelo were both angry with their father, aned mother dfor the first time. They were angry because Warren was just there, and because Betsy let him come. At the age of fifteen they had heard their parents arguing and found out that Warren had been with Paige for a time. They knew Betsy was beyond angry but what they had just found out was that they had a younger brother, and now they were angry at the both of them. Shae, their younger sister didn't look too happy either. She stood just in fornt of her older brother and sister.
Jade was the most misfortuned of the group. Nobody knew of heer punishment because her parents had scolded her telepathically. She didn't look happy at all and was glaring at Desiree.
Zaira stood next to Ororo, on her left, logan was on Ororo's right. Zaira was deciding at the moment that it would be smart to just be on her fathers good side and not be stubborn or argumentive. She had been punished earlier and now had to have not only inside training but survival training outside for the next month, something along the lines of boot camp. She knew how it was going to be and hated the fact that her father was putting her through it.
Izzy had walked into the room with John behind him rambling on quickly. Not many of them understood what he was saying but knew it wasn't good by the look on Izzy's face. He and John were off in the corner to continue there talk.
Desiree walked in and Remy and Rogue were behind her. She had her head down and walked towards the wall and leaned against it.She had the longest list of punishment out of all of the but was probably lucky because Remy punished her and not Rogue.
The room fell silent as Scott stepped forward. "There was a reason for the whole team to leave, we were bringing in new recruits" He tells them. "We brought back several of them and want to remind you of how it was when some of you first came here, so try and be polite" he says. "The first person I'd like to introduce is Sean Worthington, he is coming from the city. This is Warrens and Paiges son"
Desiree suddenly raised her hand. "Ah have a quesiton f'r M'sieur. Worthington"
"What is it?" Scott asked and Remy and Rogue looked at eachother worriedly.
"Why didn' y' tell nobody about 'im?"
"Thats a very good question D" Angela said stepping up. "My dad has got to be the most inconsiderate asshole on this whole planet, don't you think you should have atleast told your OTHER children, you know the ones you had with your WIFE before you went and slept with THAT lady"
"Angela" Warren said sternly. "Do not speak to me like that you understand.."
"No Father i do not" She snaps "How long has it been since you have come to see us?" She asks "I believe the last time was our birthdat, in January. Thats six months. Of course i guess the one letter every month makes up for it."
"Angie calm down" Angelo tried and put his hand on his sisters shoulder. "But she's right, do you even bother to call Shae?" He asks "She's still young...don't you think that you should atleast keep in touch with her"
"He won't even do that" Angie snapped "And I am sick of being second..it's always your work or that woman" She tells him. Warren goes to say something but Betsy finally steps in.
"Thats enough you two" She tells them "Enough of degrading your father in fornt of everyone" they step back and stand with her. "Now your going to welcome this young man whether you like it or not. Do not resent him because you resent your Father"
Sean stood behind Warren and Paige the whole time not wanting to be in the spotlight very much. Desiree though thought it was necessary and walked over to him. "B'jour, ah'm Desiree LeBeau, ah'd lahke t' welcome y' t' da institute" She says with a slight smile.
Zaira was next to come up "I'm Zaira Howlett, its nice to meet you"
"You too" Sean says to the two girls who appraoched him. Renee and Cassie walked up together and introduced themselves. David walked up next.
"Hey man" He says "I'm David"
After all introductions Scott introduced the next new person. "This is Josh Guthrie" He says and then goes ahead with Nira. "And You all may already know her but this is Nira, she came to the manison yesterday, after the... incident at the club.
"Joshy?" Nira asks 'is this man always so up tight?" The blonde girl asks Josh in a whisper.
"Ah dont know"
"I like your accent"
"Umm thank ya"
"No prob"
"Next is Ryan O'conner.." Before Scott could finish Izzy walked up to Ryan.
"Isaac" John said trying to pull his son out of the other guys face.
"Ya have some nerve showin up here"
"Thought we had ya deported Isaac" The southern boy snapped. "Why ya back here? Ya a mutant too?"
"Aye..I gotta say surprised someone like ya became one"
"Not by choice I assure you"
"Whose this asshole?" Cassie asked looking at him with disgust.
" 'ey there beautiful" Ryan said winking at her. Jett pulled her into the back of the crowd and Desiree stepped up next to Izzy. 'Demon girl"" He says smiling "Nice to see ya again, thought the church people would kill ya by now" Desiree's eyes were starting to glow as the anger built up in her. " 'ey those didn't do that before"
