Maera sat at the kitchen counter with her textbooks scattered around. She took in a deep breath as her pencil tapped on her notebook. She loath math to such a degree, words were not able to describe it. She knew that was needed however anything besides basic or geometry was completely pointless. She had not reason to find X or Z or Y or all three. A groan left her throat as she threw her pencil down.
"This is fricken stupid. Can anyone tell me the point of advance Algebra? At least, geometry makes some sense." Her words were to no one in particular.
She got up from her spot as she stretched her legs. Numbers and letters swam in her mind as she headed for a snack. After all, she could not do her homework on an empty stomach. Well, it was more like she had enough of Math for the moment. It helped distract her from other things that were going on. There was a lot of buzz around the mansion, most of which she tends to ignore.
She tapped the handle on the fridge unaware of anyone that entered into the room with her.

In nothing but a pair of shorts, Ryuusei entered the kitchen also in the mood for a snack. He heard Maera's complaint about 'numbers' but said nothing. He simply reached into the fridge when she'd opened it and pulled out a pack of cheese. "Ummm, sixty-four pieces of American Cheese..." With the pack in hand, he walked to the kitchen table, took a seat and unwrapped a piece. "Sixty-four..." Then took out another. "Sixty-three..." Then another. "Sixty-two..."

Rhona found that after everything that she was not totally against anything that she had learned. She smiled to herself and entered the house after her run. She didn't understand why the people here didn't go on a schedule and while they were here but that didn't bother her as they let her go on runs and exercise. That was nice and such and they kept enough high carbs and protein foods to keep her from trying to hunt with her bare hands. While the one named Logan found it amusing she was just hungry and they said they were working on something to add to her food to keep her from being hungry all the time. When she entered the kitchen. She stopped as she encountered two others. She didn't say much as she grabbed the largest mixing bowl and three boxes of cereal and started to pour them into it.
"Advanced Algebra allows you to calculate the distances of things. It is especially handy if you need to place an airstrike within a meter of where you need it. It can also used to know the speed of things, like a car as it flees if you can estimate the distances. It is very helpful, may I look?"
Rhona sat down with her huge bowl of cereal and started to look over her math. She took her pencil and started the equation again this time adding in the numbers she was missing. It wasn't to tough, you just had to know that not all variables were given and that those variables had to be discovered. She worked the problem with her left hand and spooned the cereal into her mouth with her right hand. Rhona didn't know she could use both hands. She smiled as she finished up.
"There that is the answer...I can show you how to do that if you want. I didn't even know I could do that myself."

Maera rolled her eyes at Ryuusei as he walked in and grabbed some cheese. His counting backwards was not helping her in the least. He was a person that often got under her skin for one reason or another. She pulled out some french onion dip that she would burn off later. "You are almost helpful there. I am so happy you know how to subtract."
As she turned around, she was face to face with Rhona. The girl was strange to be sure and she was unsure how to take her. It was nice when an explanation of when the math was given. She doubted that she would need to call an air strike at some point in the future. It might back it easier as she knew what it was applied for. She grabbed the chips as she sat down. The red haired woman worked through the problem in a quarter of the time it usually took her. She dipped a chip as she chewed to cover up her surprise.
"Um, yes please! I have a huuuge test to study for and still don't understand this. I mean, Ryuusei, you might be able to learn something from this."

Rhona continued to spoon the cereal in her mouth as Maera reviewed her work and was receptive to her help.
“There are other uses for it beside indirect fire. You can also use this same equation.”
She took another piece of paper and wrote the equation out for Maera for her personal notes. It was a neat and disciplined script.
“For figuring the height of objects using the distance from the object and the angle to the top of the object from your vantage or viewpoint.”
She looked over her math and nodded as she spooned more cereal into her mouth. She looked at the rest of her work and started erasing the things that were wrong and writing the correct equations to use. It was only five of the twenty she had done.
“Those will help you with those. I don’t know why but those are right. We can study after I watch My Little Pony. The ponies summon me.”
She stood up and went over to the TV on the wall in the kitchen and turned it on and found the right channel and the theme song started playing.

He gave Maera a smirk. "You should see me spell my name, in the snow." And went back to eating the cheese. "Sixty-one..." While eating, he listened to Rhona's math lesson, asking the redhead. "Gonna test her on this later?"
He was surprised to hear her mention Ponies 'summoning her' when she turned the TV on. Oh, you like this show?"

Maera felt her mouth drop open as she listened to the explanation given to her of what it was used for. She was rather surprised by the military terms used. It made her wonder about the girls past. She knew that things were a mystery there though it made sense with the math equations being solved. She tapped the end of her pencil on the notebook.
Her eyes rolled again as she looked backwards towards Ryuusei. "Um I'd rather not. After all, anyone can do that lovely trick in the snow. It would take more than that to impress a girl. Or guy, Or whatever you are into."
She wrote down a question about seeing if her diving could factor into this. She took another chip as her tutor was off watching My Little Pony. She knew some people in school were big into it. She didn't see the appeal. It might have to do with the fact that she grew up rather quickly while in the system. She would take the half hour to herself as she tried to figure out how Rhona fixed things to make it work.

Rhona paid rapt attention the episode and when he said something about the snow she looked at him. She didn’t say anything until he started counting and asked if she was going to test her on it.
“Go pee in the snow. Ponies are on and you’re interrupting them.”
She would have been fine with it had it ended there but when the commercial came on and he asked if she liked the show she shot him a look. What kind of question was that. She liked the colors.
“Yes. The colored ponies are nice. They treat each other nice.”
As the show came back on she looked at the question Maera had wrote down and pointed with her spoon to the numbers. The commercial came on and showed Maera the mistake.
“That one there needs any number here,”
She pointed to the number she meant.
“carried over to here. That way when you divide you have it to add to the remainder of your division. Which gives you the answer.”
The show came back on and she continued to watch but would glance at Maera’s work. She was getting the math. She left her be while the show ended and didn’t even realize she was humming along with the end credits music. She looked at her question about diving.
“It can but as far as I know you have to be able to exert outward pressure with your body to keep water pressure from squeezing your lungs.”
She got up and found another box of Cheerios and dumped it into the bowl and added enough milk to make her happy and sat back down at the table.
“I’m ready for questions. The next episode won’t be on for an hour. If I’ve seen it then we continue to work on the maths.”

"Like butter! I mean, who doesn't love delicious butter?" Before eating another piece of cheese.
He kept an eye on the screen. "Yeah it's quite colorful, not really my cup of tea, but I've got nothing against it either. So, you got a fav?"
He genuinely was curious as he watched Rhona...watch the show, but also keep track of Maera's questions AND answer them. After the current episode was over and the redhead refilled her bowl of Cheerios, he proposed this. "You should take that act to Vegas, I bet you'd kill it at the blackjack tables."

Charis, a very new and to her knowledge the newest X-men member walked into the kitchen headphones on rocking out to BabyMetal in a purple night outfit. She kept jamming mostly with eyes closed till she walked right into a counter. Eyes open now she lowered her headphones as an ouch came forth from her then spotted a few others she hadn't met yet or did she. there were so many X-men in the worlds that she was bound to forget names.
"Morning guys...sorry about the commotion, when I'm into my music, I can't get out sometimes...I'm Charis...but you can call me Six as well if it's easier."

Maera sighed as she tapped her pencil a little more. Her head swarmed with the various different numbers. They all became a jumbled mess on the paper. Rhona would correct every tiny detail that she had gotten wrong. It frustrated her to no end that none of it was sticking. She had a feeling that should would end up failing her test once again.
Her green eyes flashed up as she noticed a new older X-men walk into the counter. Her brow furrowed as she was confused by the comment. It was the middle of the afternoon. She guessed it was the benefit to being out of high school.
"And I'm Maera. Though it is like 3 in the afternoon. I take it that you just got up?"
She took a few more chips out of her bag before she put her snack away. As she returned to her seat, Rhona was already sitting and waiting. She rubbed her face as she sighed. The only thing keeping her going was the threat of being kicked off the team.
"All of it is my question. I really wish you could just take the test for me. Cheating would only get me kicked off the diving team." She took in a deep breath, "So you said that this can call in an airstrike. Can we put it into terms more close to home. Like I do high diving, can this formula work for that?"

Charis looked at the younger team member and smiled, "Well Maera...as you can see on the microwave..." Charis looked and saw it REALLY WAS around 3 in the afternoon!! She then chuckled a bit. "Well then...no wonder I had heard Give Me Chocolate so many times..best song ever! I guess I was lost in the tunes...anyway what's good for doing around here...I was thinking about looking around or something....you guys wanna come with?"
She then decided to go sit and wait either till someone answered or something happened.

He gave a casual wave to the Newcomer. "Ryuusei." This was like morning to him as well, since he kept late hours. He also only slept maybe three or four...
He was unwrapping another piece of cheese when Maera asked if what Rhona had explained could be applied to diving. A green eye rolled in their direction and he replied. "It should. since you gotta think about the depth of the water plus the height of the board to figure out how fast you should go." He took a bite. "Water'll shlow ya down shome, but if you're deschent's too fasht, you could crack your shkull on the bottom of the pool."

Charis waved to Ryuusei and started to watch what Rhona was watching and Charis agreed with the girl as it was cute. When It was on she kept quiet observing the ponies and fillies interact with each other and started to like the one called 'Fluttershy' (Mental note ask about Fluttershy later) When a commercial came on she attempted to ask a question to the young girl about the show she loved.
"Which one is your favorite?" Charis asked curiously

Hope wandered into the kitchen, still reminiscing about the night before. She danced into the morning hours and talked to a man a bit older than her, but it felt different. It felt like they were on the same page completely and that age wasn't a matter at all. With a shy smile, she went into the cupboard for a snack. The girl wore torn jeans and a turquoise off the the shoulder sweater. IT was the color of the sea, in which she'd loved since she was a baby. Looking to Maera, she smirked. They had met before and while it was awkward, they seemed to have a lot in common. "Algebra? I can't understand that either... I'm more of a literature person myself." she shrugged as she grabbed chips before retrieving some hummus from the fridge.
Looking to Charis, she smiled sweetly "Good morning, Charis, right?" she asked softly before sticking a chip into her mouth. "I heard the conversation while walking in. I'm Fathom." she then looked to Ryuseei and sighed as the man was shirtless. This guy seemed to not like to wear clothes. Like EVER. "Do you know how to wear clothes?" she asked as she popped another chip into her mouth.
