Captain America has posed:
Steve Rogers had climbed on his vintage motorcycle, wanting to get away from the city for awhile. He hadn't really chosen a destination, just took one of the smaller roads away from the bustle of New York.

After a few hours of riding, going through small and medium-sized towns in the area north of New York City, he eventually found himself near to Salem Center. Steve turned the motorcycle and let it rumble along a now-familiar road on which the entrance to a school might be found.

Steve rolls up to the gate and hits the buzzer. When someone answers, he says, "Hello, it's Steve Rogers. I don't have an appointment with anyone, but was in the neighborhood and thought I might stop by if it would be alright."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie clears the super soldier to come in and heads down to the garage area to meet him. He will be opening the garage doors for the man when he gets up to the main building. Sam is standing near the doorway, wearing jeans, and long sleeve t-shirt. He will offer a nod and says "Captain Rodgers, it's good to see ya, what brings you up to our neck of the woods?"

Captain America has posed:
Steve climbs back on the motorcycle, letting it putter at a slow pace down the drive and up to the school. He's wearing a brown lather jacket overtop of a sweatshirt and jeans, with gloves and a helmet against the colder weather. He rolls to a stop near to Samuel Guthrie and then climbs off the bike, putting down its kickstand.

"Hello Sam," he returns, his hands going to his hips as he looks around the school grounds. "Nothing in particular. Wanted to get out of the city for a little while, and my ride brought me round this way. Thought I'd stop and see how everyone is doing," he replies.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods to the other man and says "Well you know your always welcome up here, might even draft you into teaching a history class." He will offer as a joke. He looks to the bike, and says "Want to fill her up while your here. I have took mine out for a bit to clear my head some when I can't be saw blasting about." He admits, and asks "You want a cup of coffee or something?"

Captain America has posed:
Steve Rogers lets out a soft laugh. "Just because I lived through it doesn't mean I understand it all," he tells Samuel Guthrie. Steve looks down to the bike at the mention of topping off the tank. "Sure, if it wouldn't be a problem. Saves me heading into town looking for a filling station," he says, taking the vintage WWII era motorcycle and folding up the kickstand to wheel it along to where the school's gas pumps are.

"Cup of coffee? Now you're speaking my language, Sam," Steve says with a smile. "So how have things been settling around here now that the Sentinel situation seems to have improved a bit?"

Nightingale has posed:
     One could almost hear Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" playing somewhere in the imagination. For out of the steely, snowy sky swoops a white-winged wonder, with an armful of... snowballs.

     And her sights were set on the younger of the two men out by the front entrance of the school.

     Cackling and giggling madly, the cry of "Bombs away!" rings out, to the tune of much silvery, bubbly laughter, one loosely-packed snowy missile headed right on its way for Sam!

     Who said an angel had to be an angel /all/ the time, when there was wintry fun to be had?

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie starts to answer and takes a snowball to the face. He turns and deadpans to the Captain . "Cheery." He wipes the snow from his face, and smiles a bit "It is going pretty good things back to normal as you can see." He will says "Hey Shannon, using the Captains arrival for an ambush sneaky." He does not seem upset though. "It is good to see your back on planet as well, we tried to help as much as we could with your return.

Captain America has posed:
Steve Rogers hears the bombs away and glances up, seeing the snowball just as it hits Samuel. "Yes, some things are always good to see," Steve says of the very school-like display. He gives a soft chuckle and glances towards the mansion that houses the school.

Steve Rogers slowly nods then and says, "It's good to be back. Sorry if we caused everyone a bit of fuss. We lost a few pounds and there was some sort of insect that left a few itchy bites. But other than that, no worse for wear, really," he replies at the question about off-world problems. "I was glad to hear Carol and Rogue made it back safely. Figures they managed far better than Tony and I," he says with another quiet chuckle.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Hey, aren't you the one encouraging me to let my hair down a little sometimes, big brother?" Giggling, Shannon backwings her way to a landing close by, sending swirls of snow skittering along the ground from the wind made by her wings. She drops the rest of the snowballs on the ground; there would be time for a full-on snowball fight another day. She's in her favorite cream-colored tunic sweater, dark blue jeans, calf-length caramel suede boots, and that goofy red-and-white striped 'Where's Waldo' style hat of hers. The pale blue braid on the left side of her face was an unusual contrast, with its three little silver beads on the end.

     Captain Rogers is given a more critcal look, definitely that of a healer's eye making certain in her own mind of his well-being. A sigh of relief freezes to mist in front of her face, and she smiles warmly, tucking her wings in neatly behind her with a little flicking motion. "Folks here were really worried about you, sir. It's good to see you're alright."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and will walk over and get a piece of paper and writes a number on it offering it to the Cap. "If your off in space and need someone try to contact them. Lila she can help you get back to earth if you can get to her. He will offer a smiles and says "Let me get you something." He will walk over to get the cap some coffee and offers him it and cream and sugar for it.

Captain America has posed:
Steve takes the paper from Sam with a smile. "Appreciate it. Though I still didn't really make out how people out there communicate. Looked for a phone booth, but it was mostly just wilderness where we were until near the end there when we met another man from Earth who had a space ship," Steve explains as he pockets the paper.

He glances between Sam and Shannon. "A phone booth was a little glass enclosed public place we used to make phone calls. Before cell phones," he adds. He hasn't actually seen one since waking up from the ice, so figured after making the reference that the explanation might be needed.

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon tilts her head slightly to one side, listening for a moment to the brief explanation. The idea of a phone booth wasn't new to her, but having never actually seen one outside of some old movies, it was intriguing for her to hear them referenced so casually as if they were yet a staple of daily living. "You know, sir, you'd make one helluva history teacher," she remarks, smiling. "Now, the question here is this--was mac 'n cheese as much of a staple then as it is now, and is it something you enjoy?"

     Hey, the Captain's motorcycle wasn't all that needed to be fueled up!

     "I was going to make some to bring to a teammate in the medbay anyways, you'd be welcome to some if you liked. And you, Sam, I can't quite picture refusing?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "I have seen phone booths we had a couple that no longer worked back home, and Underdog used to change in one in the old cartoons Ah think." He says with a grin "Well it can get complicated some of the things out there, but if you can make it to a club, it might help. That's Lila' Cheney's number tell her Sam gave it to you and she will probably help you, don't think she is made at me, think we are good." He jokes a bit and then to Shannon he will say "I am ok for some if the Captain wants some sure, if not can get some later." Yup he keeps calling him the Captain must be a sign of respect.

Captain America has posed:
Steve gives a soft chuckle about the history teacher comment. "Sam was just making the same comment. Though I'm not sure if kids today want to hear those kind of details. Life back then was kind of slow compared to the pace today," he says, a hand rubbing at the back of his head.

Steve holds up a hand at the mention of food. "I don't know about staple, but it was something we'd have now and then. Though I'm good for now, I don't want to overstay my welcome. Just was passing nearby on my way back to New York and thought I'd stop in," he explains to Shannon.

Steve pats his pocket where he has the directions on how to contact Lila. "And, as it turns out, maybe find myself a ride back to Earth, next time. Thanks for that, Sam," he says.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon chuckles lightly and ruffles her wings by way of a shrug. "You might be surprised, sir. God only knows your lesson was well-timed once, and often remembered. One of those that lasts for a lifetime, I think. Could never thank you enough for it."

Grinning between the Captain and Sam, she quirks one brow upwards slightly, grinning. "Maybe next time you stop by, then, for sure. Not sure how you could overstay your welcome... where'd you get that idea, sir?"

Other than that, she remains quiet, looking between the two gentlemen to chat for a bit, more than content to simply listen.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Yea, don't see ya overstaying but Ah can understand wanting to get back on the road, see the country and such." he admits to the other man. Your not our only visitor from your team recently. We actually had Dr. Banner visiting us the other day.

Captain America has posed:
Steve holds up a hand. "Sir isn't necessary. Just Steve is fine," he tells them both. "Oh, Bruce made it out here? Now /that/ is someone you could talk to about teaching something. He's enough to make Einstein stop and take notice," Steve replies of Bruce Banner.

Once the motorcycle is fueled up, Steve pulls out some money to pay for it, offering it over to Sam. "Appreciate you letting me fuel up," he offers. "Just hope I can get back to town before it gets too cold," he adds, zipping his broth leather jacket back up. "Do me a favor and given my regards to Professor Xavier and his staff, would you?"

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon looks as if she was caught absolutely flat-footed, her eyebrows both shooting straight upwards and her jaw dropping open ever so slightly. "That's going to take a little getting used to," she begins, putting her jaw back together with her hand under her own chin. "Guess I was raised a little old-fashioned, in that calling someone by their given name is a rare privelege for a young woman of my age. Thank you... Steve." She spreads her wings outwards and sketches a rather theatrical little bow, a smile lighting up her whole face. Yeah. She was going to be flying high for a while now.

     Nodding, she steps back, tucking her wings in behind her again. "Need to get in touch with the Professor anyways, I'll pass along your regards. Travel safely!"

     To Sam she grins, raising her hand for a fist-bump. "Catch you in the kitchen for that mac 'n cheese in a bit, then?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and will walk over to his own bike, and reaches into the side car. He will pull out a blue and yellow hand knitted scarf, and says "Well take this, will help keep ya warm, and if ah didn't offer it my Ma would skin me alive." He will tell the man "So, think you can take it Steve, keep me in my ma's good graces." He offers

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches as the good Captain takes the scarf and heads. He looks over to Shannon "So sneak snowball attacks huh?" He grins a bit at her

Deadpool has posed:
"Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeevearinooooo," Deadpool's unique voice sing-songs as he bounces into the garage from a different door. "I seriously just missed him. He was here, though. I smell his cologne," Deadpool says, doing a most excellent pepe le Pew skunk impression as he bounds a few giant 'steps' into the garage.

Deadpool looks awful, in that he is covered in blood, bits of teeth, and brain matter, and maybe some other parts. He's splattered, like he stood too close to someone going into a giant fan. If he's injured is a 'maybe', hard to tell with Deadpool and his mess. He stands in the garage, and a bit of entrails falls off near his foot. "It may be time to /brood/."

Wade squats where he is, puts his hand on his fist, and power-broods. "BROOOOD."

Nightingale has posed:
     Just as she opens her mouth to reply to Sam, the minging, sickly scent of eau de entrails wafts through the garage, bringing Shannon up short. She covers her mouth and nose, looking around for the source of the smell. It doesn't take her long to find it, her brows furrowing instantly with concern towards Deadpool. "Good God, what happened?!" she exclaims.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie starts to say something to Deadpool "You just..." He says as he turns looking at the man. He sighs a bit and walks over to the wall, and picks up a hose pipe off the wall. He then calmly walks over to the middle of the garage and unscrews the drain cover. Then yes, Sam calmly turns the hose on the crazy merc.

Deadpool has posed:
"Did you notice me by smell, instead of hearing my rapturous voice?" Deadpool wonders aloud to Shannon, while still squished down into his epic-brood pose, fist grinding into the jaw of his Deadpool hood. He was just wondering. "Most people find smell to be the least aggressive thing. Merc with the mouth. Not merc with the stank. Although I'm open to additional titles /beyond/ the main ones that I have," Deadpool chatters happily along.

"So what happened is, I have missed a Steve. Did he say he's coming back? Did he /mention/ me?" Deadpool asks, tone begging.

"IT PUTS THE LOTION OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE," Deadpool screams at Samuel, dodging the stream of water and lunging for the hose.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Hey, you're the one doing the Pepe LePew impersonations!" Shannon sees the hose and steps back. Waaaaaaay back. She's not about to get caught up in the impromptu shower, or whatever it seems to be evolving into. At this point, it was difficult to tell, especially with a firehose, Wade, and Sam all involved.

     Definitely better not to interfere with this one.

     "Yeah, you just missed him by a few minutes," she adds, smiling apologetically.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs a bit and at the lunge Sam will just kick in his blast field hovering just a foot or so off the ground. He does use the lunge to try to center in on the man. "You come in covered in that you need to be washed off. I probably should be asking who you are covered in, but I prefer to get the stains off the floor and such first.

Deadpool has posed:
"I'm not a wayward student that you get to spray liquids on without his consent. Even then, you probably should get consent from your students before unloading from your hose all over them," Wade defends. He's slippery, hopping around to the other side and grabbing the length of hose to twist it in both hands. "Kinky," He adds. And points at the hose. Kink the hose. Come on, it wasn't that bad. "Besides, I'm covered in /evidence/. Don't go spraying the scene of the crime before samples can be taken," Wade defends.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie turns turning the hose of, and looks at Deadpool "You can retrieve it from the drain, and you don't know who blew up the person or people?" He will ask the other man "I am trying to make sure people aren't going to get sick seeing you.

Deadpool has posed:
"/That/, my be-hosed friend, is not something that has anything to do with my current state. I induce vomiting all the TIME. Usually with my suit off. But often with it on. It's a good reason to stay out of the splash zone," Wade prattles, still holding the bend in the hose so that he can't be sprayed.

"I've got evidence for Steve, of course. I'll bring it. ONWARD!" Deadpool lunges away from the hose, taps the teleporter on his belt? and vanishes mid- jump. Bits of entrail fall off in his wake. Yuck.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs a bit and will hose the garage down, and knowing the weird stuff that happens at the school will probably even have a way to retrieve the yuck if needed in the future.
