Synopsis: Sam and Alexis sit by the lake and have a light talk
Cast of Characters: Prismatic, Cannonball




Prismatic has posed:
    Congradulations had been made, offers of drinks at Harry's coming up. Alexis had changed out of her old uniform. She had tried on her new one, with its red X crossing the body, and she knew she would have to go and have a few adjustments made.

    And now, Alexis was sitting on a rock near the lake, listening to the water lap gently around the boulder as she looks at the red X communicator sitting in the palm of her hand. She supports her chin with her other hand, quiet and contemplating.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie comes looking for her. He smiles as he finds her, walking up behind her, and putting his arms around her. "Hey you, penny for your thoughts?" He will ask her, as he leans in to kiss her ear a little. "I thought you deserved it, Scott did not tell me he was doing it though,"

Prismatic has posed:
    "Scott surprised us all, I think. No one more than me." Alexis gives a smile, moving a little on the rock to make room for Sam, leaning against him a little bit. "I'll be training directly with him and Jean. If I didn't already look up to them so... I would be so very terrified." she gives a little smile up at him. "Though my ears turned so pink."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins and says "Yea, was very cute." He tells her as he sits down beside her, and kisses said ear. "You can do it, I am confident in ya hon." He rubs her side and says "Who would have thought, I would meet the woman of my heart, who would end up both helping running the school, and joining the x-men too."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Uuugh, all because I stopped and admired your motorcycle. The madness." Alexis gives a wry smile, and she leans more against Sam, turning her face up and giving a smile to him.

    "... but this means that we have to have a serious discussion if we take part in missions together. I'm sure Jean and Scott have had to make such decisions." she replies, and gives a small smile to Sam.

    "I just... it's a lot. At once -- and I can't help thinking... is this something I'm ready for?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "If your not ready for it, you can tell them, like the students are told, you don't have to be an X-men here if you don't want to be." He hugs her, and says "And what you thinking we need to talk about?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "Psh. If I gave it back now he might have Rogue throw me to the moon." Alexis gives a little smile, and she gives a small grin.

    "... but yeah, we have to... talk about what may happen, the more we go on missions together." Alexis points out. "Mission comes first."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "We have to trust one another to be able to take care of ourselves in the field." IT seems Sam understands this one, perhaps he has already dated a teammate in the past.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Good... good talk." Alexis replies, and she rubs the back of her neck a moment as she takes a deep breath, and lets it out.

    She gives a grins, and turns, looking out at the lake.

    "None of this would be happening if you didn't take a chance."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and rubs her side more "Well, I thought you were worth it hon, and if you want to talk more about us both on missions we can. There will be more things we have to think about as we go along. On missions we have to trust one another, but we will both find ourselves stepping in to protect others, just cause we consider all here family, and you and Ah are able to soak up hits if needed.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Mmm. That's true. We're both protectors with some defensive capability..." she purses her lips. "You're far more bombastic than I, though. I get to be sneaky in the dark."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "Which means a lot of times, we won't be on the same missions as often, or that you maybe using your abilities more than mine at the beginning, where I have to not use mine till we are ready for the shock and awe part of the mission.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Yes... shock and awe. Definitely your strong points." Alexis gives a smile, and then she draws herself up, looking to the dusk evening.

    "... are we riding the bije to Harry's, ooor are we taking the Cannonball Express?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Which ever you prefer to, we aint rode the bike out in a while, so we can ride it and if need be can always fly back and pick up the bike some other time." He offers her with a smile.

Prismatic has posed:
    "... well. I mean, if I'm going to be a part of the X-Men -- I have to get over any fear of flying."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "It might be a good thing, I mean some people you can fly with and won't even be touching anyone else. Like Jean, can carry ya through the air with her TK, and your not actually touching your hand or anything.

Prismatic has posed:
    "... don't know, if Jean was touching my hand, she's probably also curtailed all of my fear responses enough that I'm entirely placid." The newly minted X-Men member replies, and she smiles. "C'mon, let's go get our bike helmets so that we don't destroy my hair in the process then."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and stands up giving Alexis a kiss holding her close for a moment, before leading hear on to the garage. "I have been making sure I keep a second set of goggles on me."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I should just keep a pair of them on me. Maybe make it part of my uniform, you know -- a little steam punk?"
