Vance noticed the box of donuts given to him by Rhona and then blinked. "Oh...alright," he said as he looked to Stella. "Care for some sugar-glazed carbs?" he joked, taking a shot at the saying that donuts were completely bad for you. "So you seeing any troublemakers on your end?"

Dee took in a deep breath as she followed where the girl was going. She flicked her tail a few times as she jumped to the next building. She sighed as she heard the chatter over the comms. There was a lot of people here, each with their own agenda. She sighed as she commented back and forth. There was something in her gut which told her that this girl would be a target by a less than savory group. ~*~*~
Wanda's eyes glanced down just in time to notice the phone call. Her heart leapt out of her chest, unsure what this all could mean. The others in their group didn't seem to notice the lack of attention to the mission at hand. There was an allyway near by which she slipped in.
"Aaron? Are you okay?" Her breath was caught in her chest as she watched the rest of the crowd marched by. She walked further in as shadows wrapped around her. She waited for his answer.

Charis was still looking around for anything out of order.
(In her mind) "This really bothers me with all the different groups here. I hope this goes better than the last one...I don't see any glass out here."
Charis then kept looking around more and lost track of where she was and looked back seeing mostly humans and not many people she knew.
"Guys?? Where are you? I don't think I've gone too far away...I was just lost in thoughts...Guys??"

(continuing from my last post, ran into writer's block that day)
Charis tried not to panic but remembered where the others were and started off in that direction. "Wow, I didn't know I was walking around when I was thinking earlier. I really shouldn't do that too much. Miss Jean and the others would be upset with me... and I don't wanna see Wolvie upset."

Darius Edgar England stood within the White House walls conversing with officials as they walked down the velvet carpet. Shaking hands and grabbing a glass of champagne, he nodded before walking down the hallway alone.
There was a familiar presence here, one he hadn’t felt in years. Wrinkling his nose, he then gave a sly grin. His children were here. Oh what joy this would be. The whole family was here. Yes, even Jeff was there as well with his best invention to the world. His little redhead prize. The apple of his eye.
R1K.
Walking into the Lincoln bedroom, he set his glass onto one of the antique tables, careful to not spill onto the artifact. Staring into space, he ventured into the minds of those he held so, so dear...
~Skylar, I’ve missed you. Your resemblance to your mother is simply uncanny. I’m sure she’s smiling from the grave today. Now...
I know you’re here for something. I wouldn’t expect someone of your character to just stay silent and wait. I know your opinions, so baby girl, don’t play stupid. I’m your father. The one who raised you, fed you, and took care of you. Don’t get yourself into a knot....
Rhona, my darling, come closer to the front, my dear. I’ve missed you...~
~Jeff, my most loyal of soldiers...please identify why your presence is needed here...~
————————————
Fathom grabbed a donut, shoving the sweet morsel into her mouth. Soon powdered sugar rimmed her lips. Looking to Jeff, she plopped a kiss into his cheek. Looking to Maera, she gave a laugh “So, how’s the thing with Lawrence going?”

Charis continued to walk back keeping one eye on where she remembered the others were and the other eye on things out of place. She wanted to keep her promise to the team, the professor, and miss Phenoix who put her trust in Charis when she spoke with her about what to look for.
She was starting to see the others and she sighed and smiled knowing she would be back where she belonged but had a bad feeling someone would say something to her for wandering off.

Relina wasn’t really politically inclined but she was standing in Washington D.C. freezing her ass with the rest of the people who wanted to make an impact and let their voices be heard. She was realistic and thought this was kind of a waste of time. She was there and cold. She had plenty of hand warmers and even had those in her shoes. She was still freezing her ass off and wished she was somewhere else. She moved up beside Skye.
“Alright I can’t nearly feel my toes. What is it that we are doing here besides freezing our parts off and then yelling at the orange who is going to be in charge?”
She hadn’t been given any information other than come to D.C. and make noise in protest of the man the mass of racists elected. She didn’t complain but she didn’t want to be here. She would have rather been working or not doing this at all.
~*~
Rhona stopped for a moment as she felt a slight buzz in her mind. What was that? She shook her head and then Phoenix would see it. Actually any telepath with sufficient ability would be able to see it. Her missing memories which had eluded her for so long after one person touched her mind was unlocked. He eyes widened for a moment and she stopped and looked around. She absorbed it and she wasn’t fine with it. She had been a terrible person. She had been trained to do horrible things and now she would have to deal with it.
“I know Jeff....”
The tone was slow as if her eyes had been opened and she was seeing something for the first time. She looked at Jeff she had warm feelings for him. Those one would have for an older brother. She looked at Hope and Jeff and smiled. She had other things floating through her head and they were a jumble and integrating at a rate at which she knew she was in the right place. She wanted to laugh. All she had learned was positive and she wasn’t going back to the other place. She would never go back.
~*~
Aaron answered his phone and nearly lost his composure at the sound of Wanda’s voice. Her question though made him smile.
“I’m ok...I just came to get you. We can’t be here if anything goes wrong. I’m worried for you and don’t want you there. I’m in DC and just parked. Where can we meet?”
He waiter for her answer as he stopped walking.
~*~
Jeff nearly lost his smile at the voice which popped into his head. He kept it on his face as he listened to it and made the best choice of his life. Fuck that guy and his machinations. The only answer he deserved was silence which he would receive. The kiss caused him to look at Hope happily.
“I shall happily accept donut kisses. It only means I have to take you to dinner. That’s all.”
He smiled and watched as Rhona was acting a bud oddly, well more oddly than normal.
~*~
Rhonda suddenly smiled bigger than she had ever in her life. It actually looked disturbing for those who knew Rhona. She had concocted a plan. All on her own. She was going to do something that was going to make her exceedingly happy. It could also be seen as breaking the law to but she didn’t care. She wanted to be happy.
“I’ll return shortly. I have something I need to do.”
She started to push through the crowd and eventually made her way to the back and started toward where she had been told the Brotherhood was at. She saw the one called Sabertooth and smiled at him and he growled back. She wasn’t here for him. She spotted Todd. She wanted him and walked up and picked him up.
“I’ll return him later and I damaged. I’m his girlfriend and I’m allowed to steal him. Bye.”
She darted off into the crowd with Todd. She didn’t stop until they were away from the inauguration site. Once there she set him down and looked at him.
“Let’s get married! Today! Right now!”

His voice was like a deafening screech; worse than nails on a chalkboard. In one second, she went from standing tall, to wanting to curl up under her childhood bed in Germany, praying that the torture would end. Praying that the blood would come out of the sheets, and hoping that everything was just end. She wished for her death at the hands of the man she called father. She just wanted an end to the misery.
She couldn’t move or speak. Her thoughts strayed from the mission as soon as he spoke. She wasn’t Skye anymore. She was just a child, begging for her father to leave them alone.
As soon as Relina appeared and spoke to woman, Skye nearly jumped 3 feet. “WH-What?!” She yelped, hearing her heart race and feeling the skin of her cheeks redden. “Re...” she finally spoke, turning her face to the girl. “We’re here to kill the President.” She said quickly, trying to regain her focus.
———————————
Hope laughed to Jeff, wrapping her arms around him “Excellent choice.” She then noticed Rhona leaving abruptly and grabbing Todd on her way out “What the...” she gasped before looking to her sister and Jeff “I’ve got a bad feeling...” she breathed in softly. There was something in the air; a humidity that had washed over them. It was odd, especially being in Washington DC. It was winter.
——————————
Todd about fell over when Rhona grabbed him. Quickening his step, he smiled to the woman he loved “Yo! What?! Ya wanna get m-married?!” she smiled sheepishly, stopping in his tracks. Scratching the top of his head and running his fingers through two-day old hair, he smirked “Yo, Rho...this doesn’t happen like that...” he winked before stepping back. “It happens like this...” he stumbled at first, but clumsy for down on one knee, grabbing a ring pop out of his pocket that he’d saved for a snack “Rhona, you scare the shit outa me. You’re a hottie, smart, funny as shit, and I love ya. Marry me?” He asked nervously.

Charis was glad that she was still in range of the others but was stopped frozen for a few minutes when someone other than Miss Phoenix was talking to her in her mind.
{Who...who is this? Your not Miss Phoenix? What do you want from me?}
Charis was still a ways from her group as she looked around for the one talking to her.

Darius gave a wicked grin. The control he had over each and every person protesting was perfect. Closing his eyes, he gave a chuckle “Hello Charis, I trust you doing well living with amongst Charles Xavier’s children?” He paused before entering the Oval Office “I remember the times we had; I hope you didn’t forget them. I’d be happy to remind you...” whispered internally before patting the President-elect on the shoulder “They’re ready for you, Mr. President.”

Charis listened closely to his words trying to find him...{How do you know me...my name? What do you mean remind me?! Whoever you are show your self to me! COME ON!}
She was grabbing her head trying to figure out what was going on. She desired to know what the hell this guy knew.

Phoenix kept track of everyone as best as she could as the march went on. As she floated, she moved with the crowd. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed a group of thugs waiting in the shadows a few streets up. She turned around as pockets of people were formed up with weapons in hand.
She swore under her breath as she worked on guiding Charis back to the group. She was about to say something when she caught the sound of a male voice which called to others he knew. There was an malevolent tone to his words. A shiver ran down her spine as people were about to clash with one another. She cursed as her power was split between so many minds and keeping her floating. As she searched for it, she called out to it as she wanted to see if she could keep the man talking. <"Who are you and what do you want with one of my team? What business do you have in DC?">
A flood of memories from Rhona overwhelmed her. Her body started to fall from the sky as her dark teachings blocked out everything else. This girl had been through hell. She was impressed by how this girl had changed after the escape. It would not stop her from keeping a close eye on Rhona.
As the memories subsided, she came back to her senses. It was just in time for her to stop herself from smashing into the pavement. There were screams and shouts as she looked around. She waved at each of them as her took off towards the sky again. She followed the actions of Rhona as her plan started to develop.
<"Fellow X-men, it seems what we came here for is about to happen. There are various groups lining up to start trouble. Use nonlethal force as much as necessary. Watch out for two other telepaths. I have not been able to locate them as of yet."> ~*~*~*
As soon as Aaron answered the phone, a wave of relief flooded Wanda. While she had not admitted it out loud yet, she cared for him deeply. Ever since Yule, there seemed to be something budding in their relationship. She hadn't figured out what though everyone else seemed to know.
She pushed those thoughts out of her head as she saw the opportunity to duck away from the rest of the Brotherhood. Her father would be pissed however she didn't care. She felt lucky that his lackeys were not paying attention to her at the moment. She glanced over her shoulder as she took in a deep breath.
"I think there is a cafe or something close by where the march is. Let's meet there. I think that it is called the black sheep or goat or something. Hopefully it is close to where you are parked."
She kept the ear to her phone as she picked her way to the cafe she mentioned. She dodged the various people as she heard shouts behind her. The air had a strange chill, strange for this time of the year. It was not long before she was standing in front of the cafe. She was on her tip toes as her head whipped around looking for the blonde haired man. ~*~*~
Maera couldn't see where Lawrence had gone. She took in a deep breath as she took a donut. She munched on it while watching. Her voice was beginning to get horse from all of the yelling that she had been doing. She heard her sister's voice as she turned to pay attention to her. "I think there is something in the air, just not sure what..."
She looked up to Phoenix as she spoke about trouble. Her hands balled into fists as she looked around. Her muscles tensed as she knew that anything could happen at any time.

His hazel eyes glimmered with chaos as he stepped back behind the president elect. He heard Jean’s statement, to which, he laughed softly. “Evidently giving a greeting is considered a threat? Well, Miss Grey, that is rather rude, wouldn’t you think?” He asked, staring out into the crowd of raving supporters. “Have no fear, my dear. I am merely a friend.” He smirked, the corners of his lips narrow as a needle.

Charis could still hear the man speaking then she heard Miss Jean speaking to him. She tried to steady herself and she listened to them.
"Miss Jean...I think it's okay for him to talk to me...he says he's a friend...and He says he knows me and I wanna find out. I'm sorry I sound upset at you but I'm not. I just wanna know the answers he has then I'll go meet back over with our group."
Charis really hoped Miss Grey would be ok with this as the other man said he knew about her and Charis had been searing for answers to a lot of things since joining the School.

Phoenix let her eyes narrow at the response she was given from the man. Her words were not a threat, more gathering information. She pushed down her irritation from someone so narrow minded. What unsettled her most was that he knew who she was just by such brief contact.
<"My words are not threatening, sir. I merely wish to know what your business is here?">
She sighed as she heard the words from Charis as she sighed. While the man may have answers, he was still rather dangerous. There was a lot that they didn't know about him. "Do not trust his words. You know nothing about him which is bad. He could be dangerous. There will be plenty of time for answers later."
