X-Men

"Got it." Logan told Storm, who disappeared again after that. "You'll find your way right?" He checked with Taryn, but it was more a statement than a question. He left the room too, went to his own to put on some more clothes - and checked on some of the others on his way there.

"Guess I'll have to." Taryn said to herself as she left the room and went back to her own. She pulled on a pair of clean jeans and a led zepplin tshirt before heading down the hall to where they were going to have this meeting... or where she suspected it would be at least. Still barefoot.

Some ten minutes later the members of the X-men and Taryn had gathered in Storm's office. Not everyone was there though, since Rogue and Bobby had stayed behind with the children to watch over them.

Storm drew a hand through her hair, not sure where to start for a second. "Well.. That was them." She begun, "Any ideas on how to stop them are very welcome, but first I think I'm oughta introduce someone to you all." Her gaze went over to Taryn, "That's Taryn," She introduced the woman to who hadn't seen her before, "She managed to heal the kids who got hurt. And.. if I understood correctly, she wants to stay at the school with us."

[Devyn]

Taryn gave a slightly embarrassed look at being introduced. She didn't really like to be the center of attention and Storm had unintentionally just made her it. She glanced away towards the window, hoping no directions would come in her direction at least.

[Jacky]

"So.. we're gonna let her stay. Whether she'll participate in any uh.. activities," Storm tactfully avoided a distinction between school-related-activities and X-men-business, "Will be of later concern." She gave Taryn a reassuring smile, "You can go if you want to now, but feel free to stay if that's what you prefer." She offered, wanting to move the discussion to the attack (and more importantly what to do about it).

[Devyn]

"I'll stay." Taryn said simply, "I've seen 'em before. The supermutants, I mean." She called them that for a lack of a better name. It was what the media called them and pretty much, that's what they seemed to be. Another, more hihgly evolved race.

[Jacky]

"Where did you see them before?" Storm asked her, curious because she wondered whether Taryn knew any more about them that they did so far.

[Devyn]

Taryn paused a moment and then shrugged a bit, "Just around. They attacked a place I was near." She searched her brain for a better excuse than that, but it was all she could come up with.

[Jacky]

"Okay.." Storm said, before diverting her attention to her team. "So.. any suggestions?"

"I got one." Hank spoke up. "We gotta know more about these beings, I'd say. How many of them are there? Where do they stay? What powers are amongst them? That sorta thing. We need to track them down."

"Been there, tried that, bub." Logan - who'd been leaning against the wall all the time, shifted his gaze to Hank. "Their traces were gone from one second to the other when I thought I was getting closer. They're pretty professional."

Storm sighed. "Unfortunately. But I'll try to see what I can do finding information from other sources. Any information is valuable now." She paused. "But until then? How do we prepare for another attack if there'd be one?"

"Danger Room." Hank offered. "I can change the simulations. Make mutant enemies, like us, but with amplified powers. It'll take a bit of programming but I can have it done by morning."

"Do it." Logan cut in before Storm could speak up. "Seriously, at least we'd got something to work with." Besides, he was itchy to kick some supermutant ass.

[Devyn]

Taryn watched them fling comment from one to the other, but she kept her mouth shut. What she had, she considered to be private and privledged information. She didn't trust them yet and they didn't trust her, so she wasn't about to dish on everything she knew about the supermutants now.

Unless it became a dire emergency and then perhaps... maybe.
