Mystique smirked, glad she seemed to have convinced Logan to trust her enough to let her stay at the school while everyone else was gone. She could have a good snoop around then.
For now she left the canteen and went to find herself a room to claim as her own for the time being. She headed back through the coridoors. She found Logan's room, Storm's room, and two empty rooms, the one Jean and Scott shared and Xaviers room.
Mystique tapped her finger on her chin, deciding which room she'd like. She chose Xaviers. There was more likely to be stuff of interest in there. She kicked the locked door until it opening and tossed her handbag on the bed. Mystique - Raven - stopped and looked in the mirror on the way past. She stared at the horrible human face looking back at her and with all her will and concentrate managed to turn most of her face back to normal, her hair, eyes and nose at least - she still had the hideous human mouth.
She turned and crashed on the bed.

After everyone got a room, things settled down a little. It bugged Logan that they had little information about what was going on. The 'know your enemies' approach didn't seem to work out for them this time. Moreover, he questioned who the hell these new people were. He didn't trust Gambit, or Jack. Storm seemed convinced enough about the latter, but he wasn't so sure about the first. Logan knew he'd met Gambit before, but the context was blurred (like most of his memories). So he wasn't sure whether to trust anything Gambit said. For all he knew, he could've been the enemy.
But Logan figured they would find out, eventually. Most likely tomorrow, during their trip to New Orleans..

When Mystique woke up it was dark. She smiled. She was much more a night person herself. She got out of bed and went to snoop around the Professors drawers.
As she did she caught her reflection in the mirror. One arm, one breast and her entire head was now back to her beautiful blue self. She concentrated and the reflection in the mirror changed. Logan was looking back at her.
Mystique grinned, glad to have some of her power back, and then laughed at the ridiculous reflection - Logans head and left arm and the rest of the body incredibly feminine. She thought it could be amusing to wander the coridoor looking like this - scare some children perhaps, but she didn't want to let on how much of her powers were back so she changed back to the blonde human.
Alfie sat up in bed. Bobby was asleep. He wrapped his arms around his knees. They seemed nice enough here, but he was still wary. He supposed he always would be.
He kicked his legs out of the bed and got dressed into his jeans and blue jumper. He pulled his bag out from under the bed and went to explore the mansion.

Logan had opted to sleep a while ago. He had dozen off somewhat, but woke up again in the middle of the night. He frowned, wondering what had stirred him from his sleep. As he sat up in his bed, he listened silently. His accurate sense of hearing allowed him to hear most of what was going on in the mansion. At times it was pretty damn annoying to listen to people snoring one floor down, or the sound of the TV a floor down from that. But at times like these, his senses turned out useful. He vaguely heard mumbled voices.. but it didn't come from inside the house.
Logan got up, putting on some jeans and a shirt, before he left his room to investigate.

Alfie bumped into Logan - quite literally - when he was wandering the halls.
"Oh - sorry Mr ..." He mumbled, looking at his feet. "I was just -erm- I couldn't sleep," He mad excuses for himself, having no idea something much bigger was going on.

I finished off my beer and was completely ready for a bit of sleep. I walked back into my room to see Rogue still awake. "Hey," I said to her.
"Hey. So you're Jack, huh?"
"Yeah," I said. "Rogue?"
"Yup. What do you do?"
"I freeze time, control the elements, you know, that kinda thing." Oh, and I regenerate, but that doesn't matter.
I prepared the jet. Logan already looked around to see who was up and who wasn't but I didn't give a shit. I walked back out to see Alfie and Logan have a little... bump. I grinned.
"Boys, are you ready to go?" Screw the morning. "I think we ought to bring Liche with us. You in the mood for it?"
I hear a thud downstairs. Then some yelling. I look at Rogue. "I'll be right back." I smile at her and go downstairs.
"What's going -" I stop. It's Storm and Liche and Logan. "Oh. Are we leaving?"

"Shh." Logan hissed, getting everybody to shut up. The presence of Alfie, Storm and Jack didn't distract him from what had brought him here in the first place. He listened closely, and frowned when he heard voices again. Unfamiliar voices. Outside.
"We have company." He mumbled, taking a few steps down the hall to head outside.
But, before he got a chance to go far, a rumble sounded. The whole mansion started to shake. Some children started screaming upstairs. With a bright flash of light, sillouettes teleported into the hallway where they were standing. They were mutants, each one of them using their powers to attack the group in the hallway..

Alfie squeaked in surprise and jumped back. He quickly fumbled around his shoes and pulled out his pocket knife. After Storm took his gun away it was his last defence. He held it in front of him.
Mystique was walking down the hallway when she saw the mutants appear in front of her, facing Logan and the others, their backs to her. She smirked and kicked the one closest to her in the back of the neck. He fell to the floor in a heap. She moved onto the next one, kicking him between the legs from behind. He fell as well.

While Mystique started to attack them from behind, Logan charged at the group as well, the claws sliding out of his hands with a sharp sound. The mutants who had teleported into the hallway were here for a fight though, and they hadn't expected it to be easy. They packed an enormous amount of power amongst them. One of them blinked his eyes.. causing a shockwave to travel from him, through the hallway on either side. The shockwave threw both Logan and Mystique back against the walls. "Split up!" This man demanded, "Kill them all!"

Mystique grunted, the human half of her slowing her down. She glanced over at Logan and gave him a wink before pushing herself off the wall. She grabbed two guys by their hair and smashed their heads together. She wasnt going to give up easily.
Alfie felt bad standing around watching. He stood nervously passing the knife between his hands attempting to pluck up the courage and prove himself as good as that Bobby guy and his girlfriend.
He stepped forward, grimaced and stabbed his knife in the side of a guys throat who was passing. His first kill. Ever. He felt quite naucious.
