The sun rose from the horizon as if to plague those of the restless night. As the smells of breakfast began to illuminate the air, those part of the mission rose to their feet. For some, it was their first; and for others, it would be the final with the team for a while. Winter birds chirped from outside the glass of their rooms as a light snow fell into the already blanketed grounds.
As the group piled into the training room, Cable counted heads of each member to ensure everyone was accounted for "We leave in thirty. Turn on your communication devices and remember your training." he gruffly spoke, having not said a word to anyone yet this morning. Turning to Logan, he gave a nod before taking in an entire bottle of water; perhaps to aid with his bourbon hangover. Last night's meeting with Lenshirr hadn't been enjoyable...

Xavier woke up in the morning to get everyone ready for the mission. A lot was hinging on this mission. More than he could even verbally say. He went over the mission statistics again to make sure things were good and make sure he could have his team take the least amount of risks possible. He knew they were combat trained, he knew they could handle it. If they couldn't he'd not be sending them. And in doing so he wanted to make sure the risks were as minimal as possible. He waited for everyone and sighed. This was now or never...

Ororo woke up much earlier than normal. The air was unusually calm as she looked across the dew filled lawn. Today would be the day they tried to prevent a future that no one wanted. Would they be able to? A shiver was sent down her spine as she looked at the rising sun. Was this a sign that they would be successful or one of the last sunrises she would see?
She wrapped a shawl around her shoulders as the smell of coffee filled her nose. She would have a liquid breakfast as butterflies bumped around in her stomach. It was the normal feeling as she never knew what was going to happen. It was a gift that she did not want to have anyways. She made her way down to the kitchen as she grabbed a mug for tea. The herbal taste would calm her nerves. She stayed silent, letting everyone be in their own thoughts with this.

Logan came in and took a seat. He seemed to smirk at Cable but really he was getting game face on. This was important and that meant having your head in the game. He wouldn’t say a word but wondered what had happened to their two new people after everything in the bar. He shrugged as the kids were his issue. They were big enough to make their own choices and that was what this school was about, education and helping you become an adult. He laughed as Cable absorbed the bottle of water.
“What happened you drink to much last night?”
He asked as he handed him another bottle of water.

Serina waited with Logan silently knowing if he wanted talk he'd talk first. Bran would be with her soon as well as she saw Xavier waiting in to speak with everyone as people filtered in. She looked to Cable as well. A lot hinged on today's mission. She looked on as she waited as well for everyone to come into the room.

“A bit. Talking to Erik is like talking at a brick wall.” He lamented as the rest of the team rolled in. He noticed that one was missing and while he understood her reason, this mission was bigger than that. It was bigger than all of them. Clearing his throat loudly as if to force the attention of the team “Okay. We do this exactly how we planned and no going off the books. One mistake and we’re done. I want you kids to know that this facility is ruthless. If caught, they don’t care where you came from, if you have family or how special you think you are. They’ll kill ya and they’ll enjoy it. Watch your 6 at all times. Any questions before we get into the jet?”

Angie slipped in, realizing she was rather late. She knew her part in the mission was more support than actual fighting. It was something she was rather good at. Not to say that if push came to shove, she would defend herself. She frowned deeply as they were going into the fire.
Ororo spoke up, "And what happens when the plan falls to pieces? How do you expect us to follow something that is not set in stone?"

Cable looked to Storm, knowing she wouldn't like his answer "We get the hell out as fast as we can. This cannot fail, because there are no other options. Well, the other option is death and I'm assuming no one wants to die today." he grunted "Lets just take it one step at a time and remember our training. Remember that we're part of a team. I won't be letting anyone fall behind. Regardless of what you guys think, I do give a shit."
With that, he began to walk "Ship's leavin', those of you too scared to save the world, stay back; otherwise, you're with me." he wwasn't about to go into some sappy poetic shit. Honestly, he didn't know if they'd make it out alive, but they had to try. Anything was better than his future.
Anything.

"Hey, if I'm goin' down then I'm goin' down swingin'!" Ryuusei was fairly new there, but he knew the stakes....having witnessed his boys slain by machines akin to these 'Sentinels'. Then himself taken for experimentation, well he wasn't going to give these fuckers the satisfaction...
Even if his declaration sounded cocky, he didn't wear that expression; it was a mix of both calm and focused as he accompanied those fallowing the gruff hungover guy.

Serina got onto the plane knowing her role all to well. Her powers were to attack and she could short the system now that they didn't have a hacker. She signed knowing they needed this to succeed if the future were to be prevented, at least the one Cable was talking about.

Logan wasn’t one for words either but that was just his way. When Serina came over to hang by him he nodded to her and waited for him say whatever he was going to say. When he said it he hung back a minute. He was going to let Cable know something.
“Hey bub, want you to know that these folks here mean a hell of lot more to me than you. If push comes to shove I’ll toss your ass into the fire before them.”
He looked at Cable to let him know he was serious. These folks were his family and that meant he would leave Cable for the wolves to get one of them out.

Ororo frowned at the answer given by Cable. For her, there was always another way or time to get what needed to be done. She also knew that these groups had a way of getting the mission completed even if the results were not pretty. She had more faith in her team than she did with the man from the future.
Her mind was focused as she headed straight for the ship. She had a clear determination as she took her seat as one of the pilots. She knew that she would offer a lot cover and air support. She was not much into the stealth of battle. Much like the source of her power, Mother Nature rarely destroyed things on a small scale.
Angie's nerves slowly took over her. She debated about staying behind. Normally, she would prefer it. She was more about support than the actual fighting. She also knew that people were going to get hurt. It would be much easier to treat them on sight than to be flown all the way back.
She was thankful that Hank allowed her to gather some of the supplies that were needed. She liked to use the bare minnium for certain wounds. Her powers could spread further this way. She stopped by the medical wing before heading to the ship. Her breath came out heavily as she took her seat. Her body fidgeted as she waited for the others.
Ororo glanced at the blonde, "Nervous?"
Angie nodded, "I guess you can say it is my first mission in which everything is on the line."
"It will all work out how it is suppose to, despite the warning from Cable. Too many little things that are not accounted for can cause things to go sideways. I also know the people will get the job done in their own fashion."
The blonde gave a tight nod to the woman. Her worried mind was a little more at ease from the words. "Thank you."

"Then I wish you the best of luck in your future." Cable grunted as he stepped onto the ship. He wasbn't here to make friends. He was here to save the world and he was gonna do it, even if no one had faith. Hell, who would believe a guy that claimed he was from the future, anyway?
Shaking his head, he looked forward as the group lifted off. Looking back to Storm, he gave a small smirk "Whatever I say won't ease your fears. We've got a plan and we're sticking to it. I'm not planning on anyone dying today."
It took a few hours, but they arrived onto the ground in stealth-mode "All right boys and girls, here we go. Let's get in, out, and head back for lunch." he announced, crackling his fingers.

Something had just donned on him. "Where do you guys want me?" He'd come in at the tail end of the briefing. He was aware of the mission but hadn't received a role assignment. There might be some ass-chewing involved, for waiting until NOW to address this, however he wouldn't argue it.

Ororo nodded her head as the command was given by Cable. She waited a moment or two to make sure that everyone was on board who was going. They had a full crew. She wondered who would make it back here. She knew that Cable had a plan. There was still a lot of what if’s.
She guided the plane with ease. The winds were in their favor as they approach the enemy compound. She killed the engine as she let the plane free fall gently to the ground. The plane bounced as the landing gear hit the ground. It rolled to a stop as it hit a patch of forest. A light fog cover the air to allow the plane to blend in.
“Assuming they have not seen us, the timer has started.”
