---

Rogue has posed:
Rogue and Sam are enjoying a game of pool. Pool is relaxing, sometimes, when one isn't being swindled by the number one scam artist at the school. Or Gambit. Either way, she's setting up to try and knock the 11 ball into a side pocket when she smirks. "Swamp Rat (Gambit) don't even soak his chicken before tossin' it into a dredge and takin' it to the fryer... like... then that ain't fried chicken!" And she laughs as she aims, shoots, and the 11 kisses the hole but doesn't quite go in. "Son of a biscuit..." Making a face as she steps back to let Sam take his shot then.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to Rogue, and says "He can make some really good gumbo, but yea, his chicken needs some work. Ah did work up a modification to Ma's recipe where Ah add some heat to it, depending who is wanting it, determines how much Ah put in it." He moves looking at the table lining up a shot on the 6 ball, and with a firm shot he makes it. "At least it aint some of the new crazy ideas. One kid we had through here wanted his breaded in dorito crumbs." He chuckles as he judges the table a bit more.

Juggernaut has posed:
He figures there's two ways to do this. The easy way or the hard way. The easy way is just sort of walking right through the front gate, up to the doors, through the front doors and then maybe busting a few heads in the process. The hard way is actually trying to be nice about it all.. Waiting at the gate to be let in and then calmly explaining his presence as a follow up to a secret meeting of the minds between the leaders of the X-Men and the Juggernaut some weeks back in Mutant Town. Yes that is the hard way for a certain Mr. Marko. It requires that he be more patient and delicate and careful with his words.

So in the end, as he stands just outside of the gates while rubbing his jaw thoughtfully.. he decides on a little bit of both. It's not like they're just going to let him in after all.

And so the security systems and cameras will catch a flash of red light and a crackle of energy followed by THe Juggernaut himself calmly walking up to the gates of the school. He reaches a hand out and gently wraps his fingers around the metal, squeezing and pushing as he starts forward.

At least he's not charging in full tilt.

Deadpool has posed:
In the garage Deadpool is working on his broken chainsaw slowly putting the bits back together as he does he realizes the tools are rolling away as there is someone big making steps somewhere near. He stops and thinks about it.. "No... it couldn't be.. No way!" he jumps up a giant smile on his face. "Could it be!" he asks himself as he jumps up forgetting everything else as the tools that he did have in his hands clang down to the ground. He doesn't have any weapons on him, as they took them all away while he was here, but he starts jogging to the entrance, but as soon as he sees that wonderfull dome glint in the sunlight he all out sprints.

"Juggy??? Is that you... Juggy!" and if Juggernaut doesn't stop him he won't stop running till he jumps at the large man to hug an arm.. "Hey my BFF.. I missed ya so much! Oh I have so much to tell you! I killed some vampires, and..." he starts ranting about his exploits through the last few days. Most of them are very violent where a few bad people met their end, but he doesn't care it was Juggernaut!

Wade looks so happy like an old friend he hasn't been able to talk to so long just appreared infront of him. In his mind he was so lucky, as he never thought they would meet again, not to mention here of all places. Finally after either Juggy forces him to stop talking, or he runs out of missions he would ask, "So what are you doing here buddy? You didn't lose your memories too did you!" he looks shocked and appaled at the thought! "Anyone picking on you big guy we can go blow them up.... Together!"

Rogue has posed:
"Doritos? Seriously? What is the world comin' to? It's like people ain't had good home cookin' since... who knows when." Rogue offers, watching Sam sink a shot and then begin to line up another. Not too quickly though as the security monitors in the rec room alert a presence at the gates and she narrows her eyes. "What the hell..." Then she sets her cue aside and leaves the rec room. "C'mon Kentucky... we're about to have worse problems on our hands than how to fry chicken the right way."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs and will put the stick down looking where the alarm is coming from, he will open a window so, he and Rogue can take the shortcut towards the gate. He will call out a code into a com he fishes out of his pocket, to make sure the kids are taken in the opposite direction, as he gets some height "Oh joy, looks like Juggernaut has come a visiting and Deadpool is trying to put him in an arm lock or something."

Juggernaut has posed:
"What the--. Fer cryin' out lou--. How the-- GET OFFA ME!"

Well that flipped the script. Juggernaut actually comes to a stop. The unstoppable halted by sheer surprise and fuming frustration as Deadpool latches onto a tree trunk dwarfing arm.

"Fer God's sake, I'm not your BFF! What're you -doing- here??"

Juggernaut shakes his arm to try and roughly dislodge Deadpool. To his credit he doesn't try and reach for Deadpools legs to rip him in half or otherwise hurtle forcibly at a wall or the ground but that may simply be because he's to surpised to think about doing so.

Deadpool has posed:
As he is getting swated at Deadpool climbs the big body till he is out of reach of the offending hand talking the whole time, "Sure you are! It is okay buddy I know the truth though it might be hard to accept infront of.." he thumb points back at the school.. "others!" and laughs as he climbs how he lost his memories, and he didn't know where to go how you left him there so he came here. Finally he finds his spot, sitting on his giant shoulders feet kicking off to either side stradling the helmet it is a bit unconfortable, but it is the best seat in the house as far as he was concerned. "They are helping me regain my memories, but they won't let me carry any guns... Can you believe it.. Boo!"

As he is talking it is Juggernauts chance to grab a leg and dangle him infront of him as Wade doesn't even seem peturbed about it, "There is this guy named Cyclops he is a total dick, but Jean has been nice to me. Oh and I remembered someones name.. Logan! Ha can you believe it.. Not sure who he is or why, but hey it is coming back slowly!"

He never returns to the topic of why he is here, not wanting to look a gifted horse or well Juggernaut in the mouth. He talks about his friends, and enemies though lots more of them that he has discovered. Happy to just catch up with the big fellow other then wonder what he is doing here.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue follows Sam to the window, letting him out first and then she'll make sure to close it just as well before following Sam into the air and around the corner to the front yards. As she spies Deadpool not only hanging off Juggernaut's arm at first, but then climbing the man like a spider on a web she grunts and takes off towards him. Hopefully Juggernaut doesn't try to smack her out of the air like a fly and if she can manage, she'll pluck Deadpool off of Juggernaut's neck and - despite her desire otherwise - moves to set Deadpool on the ground, landing next to him. "You." She says sternly to Deadpool. "Stay. There. If you move, I'm flinging you so far over the gates it'll take you DAYS to reach back here."

Then her eyes turn to Juggernaut and she takes a breath, holding her hands up in mock surrender. "I'm going to judge by the fact that you're not actually storming the mansion and you...sorta opened the front gate...that you might just be here on peaceful terms. M'here to listen to them. But only until you throw a temper, cause if you do, I swear I ain't in the mood to play with you right now, Juggernaut."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will move to hover behind Rogue. He has learned a few tricks over the years, and this and quieting his blast field some so talking is easier, are two he uses. He knows he might not be able to blast into the Juggernaut and take him off his feet, not unless he surprises him somehow, but he is the best defense to put between the man mountain and the school.

Juggernaut has posed:
"I'm gonna rip you in half now." threatens The Juggernaut with a cool tone that only barely hints at his boiling anger. In fact..it's probably a sign of just -how- angry he is.

But before he can make good on his threat and get a truly tight grip on Deadpool: Rogue intervention. It's enough to actually calm him down and he takes a deep breath, swelling his massive chest and then reaching up to pinch the brow of his nose. "Man. I shoulda gone with the easy way."

He then finally just shakes his head and looks to Rogue with a baleful glare to his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, girl. It's cute to think that any of you yahoos could play with me at all."

When Sam flies in he just grunts and looks between them both, "C'mon...where's the grownups at? I aint here to banter with the junior squad." He jabs a thumb in the direction of Deadpool, "Funnily enough, he started all this. Didn't think he'd be here or that it'd end up with me paying you all a peaceful visit...at -my- house.."

Deadpool has posed:
Wade is yanked with a "Hey! What the!" as he realises he is flying now though only to be put down again with a sigh, "Awww.. Comon Rogue this is the BFF He was kidding about the rip and half thing!" but as she turns not taking any of his lip he just grumbles, "Fine... take away all my fun." and as Rogue turns and talks to Juggernaut Deadpool stands behind her. He mimics her motions, but doesn't make any sound as he also holds his hands up in mock surrender.

He listens to Juggernaut, "We can play Juggers! I have a ball or something.. Maybe a chainsaw we can toss it around like old times." he shouts from the back acting like normal if Rogue turns around to look at him he just whistles to himself looking into the air till she turns around. He gives Sam a smile and a wave, he whispers over at him, "Thats my BFF... He is just embarased as there is so many people." before going back to listen some more.

When he is mentioned about being behind all this he waves again, "Oh you mean when I saved you? Or did I burn something new down in the meantime? It is so hard to keep track now a days. At least your not some alien blasting holes in me with energy again.. That really sucks!" he shakes his head.. But takes a deep gasping breath.... "Wait you have a house.. It must be Huuuuuge! Wait.. is it unstopable too?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue listens to Juggernaut for a moment, at least happy that he seems to have calmed down from the inital WTF moment when Deadpool was climbing all over him. It's when he sort of belittles her in a fashion that she sighs, about to say something when she hears Deadpool behind her running his mouth again. She lifts a gloved hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, and does her best to ignore the mouth behind her.

For now.

After a moment she moves to kick herself into the air but only so she can be eye to eye with Juggernaut. It's more respectable that way right? "Firstly. As staff to the school and a member of the X-Men I think I am more than qualified to deal with whatever it is you're bringing to our doorstep. I /am/ a grownup, whether you like it or not. Just cause I talk a little weird and sometimes slow, don't mean I'm stupid." This much and then she tilts her head. "If you're directly lookin' for Jean and Scott, they ain't here right now, and they don't rightly come around to the school much anymore. If you have a message for them, I can make sure they get it. If it's somethin' you need help with, I think I'm more than capable."

She lands then and turns around to face Deadpool once more. "And if you don't keep your mouth shut... why are you even here?! It don't seem like Juggernaut is reciprocatin' the friendship, and I think it may be best if you go back to wherever it was you came from. This business ain't yours."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs at the stage whisper from Deadpool. He could add a bit, but he just hovers there arms across his chest, showing he has Rogue's back, and is ready to back her on what ever play she is making.

Juggernaut has posed:
"RIghtly come around to the school much? What?" Juggernaut blinks a little a that and then just allows a slow, boorish and annoying grin to creep across his face, "What the..they get fired or somethin' Run out? Ol'Charley finally tired of 'em? WHat gives? What I miss! I get locked up or trapped in a dimension or somethin' and I miss all the good stuff.."

He does give Deadpool a long annoyed look though and then grumbles. The truth is..Deadpool -did- help him out back there but there's no way to really admit that without losing face here, far as Juggernaut can see it.

"Look..I got information on the folk that might have been behind screwin' with him and messin' with me in Madripoor and I'm going to give it to them. Here. Not wait for you to take a message. So I'm going to invite myself 'home' until I talk to them. So, darlin' you wanna be big leagues and not in the kiddy pool anymore - fine - you and your sidekick here .." he thumbs at Sam and then continues addressing Rogue, "..can let me hang around until Scott and Jean show up."

Juggernaut then grins once more, "That aint a problem, is it??"

Deadpool has posed:
"Aww... comon Rogue.. You got to be wrong look at how upset the big guy is since you took me away from him" he waves a hand over at the obviously upset over other things Juggernaut. He shakes his head, "Besides back where it is I come from.. Wow Rogue.. I expected that from others.. But Me-Ow that one hurt." he even makes a little cat claw motion.. "Dig out the claws columbo.." he stops again actually going quiet for the first time.. "See.." he sounds like he is going to tear up. "He really cares, told both of you ha!" his voice turns more into a I told ya so. He does a small dance with a bunch of hip motion.. "This is the Deadpool was right dance." he explains, then gets back to it for only a moment before he stops looking up at the big guy

"Hey I can show you my room.. It is't much, but I mean if you duck.. Though.." he thinks about it.. "Don't drop your pants if the dude with the visor asks.. It is a trick." he nods to himself remembering the search for weapons. He doesn't move forward as he didn't want to get thrown into next week, but as he glanced at Rogue, and finds everything he says seems to just make her madder her holds up his hands, "Maybe later on that vist BFF."

He finally quiets down again, with a stage whispered.. "Raincheck.." then looking at Rogue and doing the sealed mouth with a key motion. Thankfully he had learned that crossing ones fingers behind the back made it all okay later when he did talk. He could already feel the need to talk to them again bursting up, but he held it back... for now.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue blinks as her phone goes off suddenly and she pulls it out of her pocket - cause her body suit has pockets - and reads a text. "Alright. Apparently Jean and Scott got word that you're here. If you promise to behave. You can stay and they'll come to the school once the mission they're actually on is done." She says to Juggernaut. "Dunno where you're gonna stay...but those are the terms. From the bosses themselves." Well, not Charles Xavier boss, but the ones who do technically run the school and X-Men.

She turns to Deadpool after a moment and narrows her eyes at him. "I...am not done with you...but I am also not going over anything else tonight. But if I find out you're messing with Juggernaut and annoying the shit out of him, I swear to the gods, I will find you. I will fling you. You will not make it back for DAYS. Do we have an understanding? I mean it too. You mess with our guest, you make him upset... you put this school at any sort of risk of danger and there will be no stopping me from getting my hands on your neck and playing shot put with your body."

Then she looks to Sam. And she frowns. Cause the kid hadn't ever seen Rogue with a loose temper like she's got right now. "Sorry Sam. Can we make sure someone knows the gate needs fixin'? Looks like our pool game'll have to wait for a bit. Also also... I think I know where I can take Juggernaut to stay if he's willing to stay there." Cause, the Danger Room is one size fits all, and she can likely program it to be at Jugg's house's location.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, his head a bit to this and says "I'll make sure the gate is ok, and keep on alert." He tells her. He does wait to see if Juggernaut is going to go along peacefully or if things are going pear shaped.

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut inclines his head and looks at Deadpool as Rogue delivers her warning and scathing rebuke to him and then considers her full statement. He deliberately allows a few extra seconds to pass as if creating additional tension just for the fun of it..and then..

"Fine, fine.."

Juggernaut waves both huge hands in a gesture of acceptance. "Like I've been explaining..I didn't come here to fight. You're a smart lady. Maybe you -are- onna the adults around here."

Look at that. A compliment. "I aint looking for some hotel or resort stay or nothing. Not like I'm trying to join the team or anythin'."

Hah. Wouldn't that be an irony.

"You can trust me..."

Deadpool has posed:
Wade holds his hands up as Rogue points at him and nods, "Okay best behavore I promise... At least let me lead him over there." he gives a wave to the big man, "Comon.. Comon! This way!" he turns then realizes he doesn't know the way so instead just follows Juggernaut and the rest of them. He isn't quiet for long beore he starts talking again to entertain their guest, "Hey did you hear about the man that was cut in half.. They said he was all right, but there wasn't much left." just horrible horrible jokes.

Those jokes can be heard all the way back, until he is forced to stop though he tries to stick to his BFF so they wouldn't be seperated again... As a final "Do you know what they call a magical dog... a Labracadabrador' can be heard, and a deep sigh from the large man that is unstoppable as they disapear back into the house.
