Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie comes up to the room, he had planned to surprise Alcar, and is still doing so, but there is a bit of a rush in his steps. He has a tray with breakfast in bed, and even sa small causer with some chicken in it for Joe. normally he would knock, but he does let himself in this morning, and looks for her, after having checked to make sure she was not in the med lab.

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra Caradenza, known to far more people as Alexis Carr, had a rather plain room. Her two totes of clothing were already put away in an IKEA bereau, her guitar was on its stand, her violin and case on a shelf. Some half-written music lay accross a keyboard, and Joe has a little cat stand with a hammock set up, though he's not currently in it.

    The cat is currently occupying Allegra's stomach. She has dark circles under her eyes, and her injuries were plain to ee under the camisole. Her shoulder was a mess of opalescence,the brusing from her armor taking a hit, but there was also bruising going under the shirt and up her neck, from the simply insane stunt of taking a semi-self inflicted shot to her chest!

    She gies a start as Sam bursts into the room, looking onfused as Warrior Joe protests being knocked from her stomach, rolling to her lap with an indignant sound!

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and walks over sitting the tray on a bedside table, and looks to her "Are you ok hon?" He will ask her, moving to gently take her hands. He wants to check the wound, but he holds himself back a bit. He looks to her and says "Was just finishing making you breakfast, when I heard about what happened on the news."

Prismatic has posed:
    "--Sam." she decides that it is not, in fact, the brigands, and she relaxes, flopping back to her pillow. Allegra lets Sam take her hands, and she gives a momentary, unsure smile. "Other than throwing up over the nice officer's shoes who offered me a ride home." she relates back, and sits up and pulls the strap on her cami, showing the huge, spreading palescent bruising on her chest in a modest way.

    "I'll talk to Chris or Shannon today. Didn't seem like it was so bad last night, but I was... more keen to get away from the rooftop. Wasp and Captain America were there, and I think they were coordinating relief efforts." she states, leaning her head against him. "I just feel inordinarily tired this morning."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will sit on the side of the bed if there is room, and leans in to kiss her softly, wanting to hug her but scared to hurt her. "What happened saw the note you left me, but did not realize you had an incident." He will release one hand to scritch Joe, since he does not want to tick off the old tom.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, another Piano player tat sometimes sends me gigs he can't make asked me to fill in with some other musician for a function last night, knowing I could sight-read the music, so I borrowed a dress from one of the ladies at the shelter, and went to play. Mid-way through a speach.. s...someone came in. Shot the guard. Demanded everyone down. Cut the cables to the elevator, they said, no one could get out... then there... was a tiger?" hereyes closed. "And Wasp showed up. Then Captain America showed up, and there was a rhinocerous. And I was just grabbing all the people I could, and hiding them behind the bar while this one bastard kept ordering Mai Tais as if there was *nothing wrong*." she breathes out "And then..."

    She looks down to her arms, to her chest, and put her hand on it. "One of the guys grabbed me. He tried to use me as a human shield to get them to let him leave."

    "I reached up, pulled the barrel down and pulled the trigger, and God, it hurt. But I was able to take him by surprise... I'm... almost sur eI broke his knee." she admits, turning red, embarrassed.

    "Then they open fired from accross the street. Something... something stronger than what I thought hit me on the shoulder. Lodged there for a while. And now I'm just so tired after police and everything..." she breathe out, and brings her hand up to her head.

    "Something like sixteen, seventeen dead. Dozens wounded, some life-threatening. And all I could do was just pull who I could behind the bar and out of their way."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Ok love, first thing you need to know, you need to think about al the people you saved not the ones you were not able to." He squeezes her hand softly and says "You saved folks, thats the important part, now let me see your shoulder?" He will ask her and moves to more her top to check to see if there might be more damage than she thought, might have been done.

Prismatic has posed:
    The shoulder just looks especially bruised up. The opal-like brusing of the armored layer below her skin is beautiful, but it's plain to see that she took a beating last night. There might even be subdermal bruising that hasn't shown up yet. The epidermis is broken, leaving a narrow crater in her skin. Everything looks irritated.

    "The EMT's wanted to clean it last night, but... I'm not sure if they'd want me to go to a hospital last night. I just declined services and came back here." she states softly.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Well, I made you something to eat for breakfast, and when I heard about the fight I left the toast in for a bit longer." He till move the tray over, and shows he has her bacon, eggs burnt toast, grits and Oj. He moves the small saucer of chicken over to Joe, and says "Figured breakfast for two."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Ooh, burnt toast. Part of a well balanced breakfast." the young woman replies, and she sits up a little more against the headboard, and immediately goes for the toast, softening the burnt taste with the eggs.

    Joe gives a soft miiaaw sound, and then purrs, rubbing on Sam's hand before he settles to snarf the chicken. He's such a spoiled cat.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie rubs Alexis leg and says "Well we will have one of them look at your shoulder and the rest later hon." He seems concerned "Ok, what type of training you wanting to stat with today, more hand to hand, or some tatics or what?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "That's.. a good question. Tactics, maybe? I can always learn some hand-to-hand as I go she replies to Sam. Omnomnom eggs and bacon are delicious. Proteeeein and carbon.

    The quiet of the room makes Joe's rumbly dump truck purrs louder as she considers. "Oh, and I'll have to give Ms. van Dyne a call, she gave me her card."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit at the last bit but smiles "Oh, whats up there?" He will ask her, and says "I will see if I can get a report a bit of what happened from The captain and her and we will run the situation through the danger room as part of the training.

Prismatic has posed:
    "I'm not a hundred percent sure. I was pretty... I think my adreniline finally gave out and I slept most of the ride here." she admits quietly, and rubs her eyes. "I don't even know who it was, they knew who i was and that they were there to take me back to the school." she gives a small laugh. "o much for Stranger Danger."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods his head a bit and rubs her back gently and says "Ok, well will teach you how to do an after action report. That way others know what happened but it also gives you time to think about that happened

Prismatic has posed:
    "Am I going to have proper access to those? I mean, I'm not officially a New Mutant or anything..." she trails off, having polished off th ebacon, eggs and toast and reaches with hesitants to the grits, unsure about the oatmeal-like cereal. "Do I already have access to make them as an assistant?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "You will have access to some, but not all, and Ah will let you see some of the ones you don't have access to as much on occasion. More often the after action reports are done by the x-men but having access to them even if just your own can help."

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis give a small shrug, and she rubs the back of her neck.

    "Thi is just... it's a lot to pick up on in such a short time." she states dryly. "So, yeah, if you show me how to do it, I'll make sure any incidents I'm involved in get taken care of." she gives a wry smile.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and will move to sit beside her so she can lean on him, and will bring up his phone to que up one of his previous ones to let her read it. "Well it is not a big hurry hon, your doing great."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Only moderate hurry, being a teaching assistant and all. Provided I can go through courework and pass out of some of the classes, I *could* have a bachellor's in teaching within two years, master's in three. Then I'll be certifiable." she jokes, accepting Sam's phone.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and nods a bit to this and says "And you will be a more certifies teacher than me." He grins at her, and rubs her back, and says "Ah am glad your enjoying working with the students and doing this love."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well... I've always felt that I was meant to help others. By following Xavier's philosophy and his dream, that humans and mutants will one day live in compelte harmony, it helps sooth the knowledge that my father's affection is conditional on his ignorance." she smiles, leaning against Sam.

    "So... what *are* grits, anyway? Some sort of... barley? Oat?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "It is a corn thing is basicly southern polenta from what I have heard." he grins a bit at her, and says "Close to the same thing, think the main difference might be the grind, but Ah am not 100% on that. They are often done with cheese, or shrimp if your doing more of a dinner food."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Polenta? OH!" she laughs, "I was wondering, I don't typically have cheese in my polenta." she replies, and she leans back a little bit more against Sam, comfortable as she reads over the AAR to get a better sense of what they...ARR.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie rubs her back, and says "We do a lot of different type of savory grits, bacon or ham is done in them a lot, I like mixing my scrambled eggs, grits and bacon maybe some cheese if I have it together

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis gives a small smile. "That's from more northern Italy than my family, but most of the time when I've had polenta it's been cooled into like... a cornbread loaf. A wet cornbread loaf. And we'd eat it with pears and thinly sliced dried meats in the vinyard when I visited nonna and papa and Paolo."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "We do grits more as a breakfast time, but in the area of the south that are near the oceans, they do the grits and shrimp thing. Gwen is probably a bit more used to that than I am, but it is done often. He grins and says "Have you had a chance to try country ham yet?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "Country Ham?" Alexis looks confused "... do... do you do ham differently in the country than in the cities?" she questions, unsure. "And generally, our polenta was coarse and firm. Nonna would fry it in lard to crisp it. beore sending us out." she gives a wry grin.

    "I should take you there, sometime."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "We will have to do a tour of there and the south to teach one another a bit of out past. country ham is a lot more of a salt cured ham, than normal just regular ham.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Huh." Alexis purses her lips, and gives a small grin. "We can take a pair of mules to the campe and overlook the wineries and mountains and olive groves, and on a good day you can see all the way out to the sea."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "And we can go hiking up through the mountains back home, get up on top of one of the mountains and you can see the mountains all around you, best time to take you would probably be fall when the leaves are all changing.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Hmm. summer, I think, is my favorite time. Edlewiess is in bloom, there's wild horses and you see the chamois d'Abruzzo. Uncle Paolo says he once saw a wolf there, but I've never seen one." she gives a small smile. "I'd like to go to Kentucky, sometime, and see where you gre wup."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "We can go spend time in both and go at different times of year. Show one another what our homes and what is important when we grew up at." He kisses her cheek

Prismatic has posed:
    "... and Christmas at St. Cici's. If it snows, it will be the most beautiful post card picture." she smiles, leaning against Sam as she stirs her grits.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her and says "Plan on flying down home on the 24th, you want to come with me?" spend the day maybe two there and come back pretty quick."

Prismatic has posed:
    "... in a plane, or under your own power?" Alexis inquires, looking at Sam with dubiousness in her eyes as she gives a little grin

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well if leaving on the 24th Ah planned on just doing the flying myself. Jay and Ah were going to take a plane down, but him and Andrea are handling her things, so if you want you can bundle up, and I can either carry you in my arms or you can ride piggy back.

Prismatic has posed:
    "... Sam that would get so cold!" she protests, giving a laugh. "How long does it take to fly down? Do we stop for breaks? Are there rest stops in the sky for flyers? Will this count towards my frequent flier miles?" Alexis grins. <3

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Well the blast field protects from most of the elements, but Ah would suggest dressing warm. If AH fly flat out putting all Ah can do it in about hour hour and a half. Taking it a it easier, and would says closer to three hours. We can stop at a waffle house or something along the way

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis gets a peculiar look.

    "So... a house... a restaurant... that specializes in waffles... instead of an IHOP?" she questions.

    The poor dear.

    Never been to a Waffle House.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Is more a dinner type place, but they do waffles, hash browns, steak and eggs is what Ah normally get when Ah go there. They are 24 hours a day and alo of places only place to go late at night

Prismatic has posed:
    "Huh... a diner, you say?" the Brit questions, and she purses her lips. "Yes, we'll have to go to one of those in our travels. Specifically for their Americana appeal?" she gives a smile.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "So, your coming with me? " He grins at her and kisses her ear, and cuddles her

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, someone's got to keep you out of trouble, and I'm certain by then your mom will be anxious to meet me." she replies, and Alexis turns and kisses on Sam's nose.
