---

Firestar has posed:
She came to visit. She gets a part time job and a place to sleep. Scratch two problems off the list. At least now she can focus on getting ready for the new semester and NYU. She has her phone out and is sending a message to someone. She is sitting on the low dive board and just enjoying a little relief from a few concerns.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma comes down from the mansion in an exquisite two-piece bathing suit, all in white, trimmed in rhinestones that sparkle like the diamonds of which she is sometimes made. Her hair is carefully coiffed and scooped up under a cap to keep it from getting wet as she makes her way towards the pool, padding shamelessly in bare feet. The asphalt is warm, the sun beating down on it. Spring has finally sprung and Emma is quite pleased about it.

""Well, well - Angelica. It's been some time. I'm pleased to see you looking so well," she says cautiously as she sees the redhead. "Have you come to be amongst Xavier's group of little heroes?"

Firestar has posed:
There is a mild twitch when she hears the voice. Nothing overly obvious, but not terribly subtle either. Her phone gets one last glance and she locks the screen. She doesn't stand yet, instead she finally looks towards the sound of Emma's voice. She doesn't look angry, but rather resigned to some sort of fated situation.

Finally she rises, mostly a polite gesture. It might be a little forced as well, but she replies,"Ms. Frost. You are looking well." she replies,"I will be staying here for a time. I am starting NYU in the fall. Ms. Grey is going to let me stay here for a while and assist teaching with the Physics professor."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost smiles slightly, her lips a shining, glossy pink - she might have had a little collagen done - putting a hand on her hip, "So formal. You may call me Emma, if you like, you've known me long enough. And you're all grown now. Very nicely, too, from the looks of things," she says.

"I never had an issue with your abilities, darling. I'm sure you'll excel. I just wanted you to have a little bit more of a...killer instinct. You're just so sweet. Well, you were. I at least got your anger to come to the surface towards ONE person," she says with a smirk as she goes to select a chair to lay out in.

"Don't suppose you're feeling beneficent enough to help oil me up, dear? It's so terribly sunny today."

Firestar has posed:
It is warm out today. The sun is indeed making it so. When she tells her to call her Emma, that slides. She narrows her eyes a little when she talks about the killer instinct. The sun is no longer the hot thing in the area as Angelica anger is stroked,"You want to see killer instinct? You want to see what you taught me, what Alpha Flight honed after you?"

As Emma turns to go, Angelica shifts into Firestar's costume in an instant, the clothes falling away. She leaves the ground and flies to Emma, Angelica hooking her arms under Emma's armpits and flying up. Straight up. Fast. Faster than Emma has seen from her,"Your training made me able to resist mental powers like yours and other telepaths, especially when the radiation really opens."

She looks towards the sky and smiles,"You can survive out of atmosphere right? You diamond form. I mean if you really want to see what you released I want to do it outside the atmosphere where I don't have to hold back."
One thing about her, she is more grim and aggressive than Emma has ever seen in the past.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost finds herself seized and taken upwards faster than she would have expected. For all she's surprised, though, she remains cool and untouched on the surface, her porcelain face smug and delighted.

"Oh my. You really have blossomed. I'm delighted to see it, darling. Yes, I could probably survive that high. And, whatever preparations you've been given, I wouldn't taunt so flagrantly. Challenging a skilled telepath to get past your shields is essentially asking to be burgled," she teases.

"But you're very strong and very fit and very impressive. Consider me impressed. Did you actually want to fight or did you just want to make a point?"

Firestar has posed:
Maybe there is a little devil in Angelica. Maybe she just wants to take the Queen once. She streaks towards the top of the atmsophere and knowing that Emma is confident to the point of cocky, she just...let's go. One moment they are streaking up and the next, gravity takes Emma.

There is just a hint of a smile that is almost sadistic in its appearance. They are up in the air, way up in the air. She doesn't immediately follow, instead floating in the air and offering a wave,"You shouldn't taunt the one keeping you alive. You are esentially asking her to stop." she calls back and watches her falland shouts,"You diamond form will save you from this high right?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost starts to fall and does let out a little yelp at it, flailing her arms a bit before she does, yes, shift into diamond form, gleaming and shining even as she starts to plunge al ittle faster do to her increased mass.

Her telepathic response is broadcast but not intrustive, capable of being heard without testing any walls. <<The crater I leave in Xavier's backyard will leave Scotty very put out, I think. But again - I'm impressed.>>

Firestar has posed:
Firestar sighs and dives towards the falling Emma. She is gaining in a hurry despite the size and mass difference. She is still enjoying the yelp a little more than maybe she should. Catching up is easy and she starts to slow her fall. Not stopping it, slowing.

Flying at a little bit of an angle, she flies over the pool and aims just so. Physics is her friend and she slows Emma down enough to not break through the pool, but sink her to the bottom. Once she is safely deposited into the water, Angelica remains hovering over the pool,"It is a good thing it makes you invulnerable. Tell me teacher. Do I make the grade?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost resumes her flesh form after she splashes into the pool, floating back up to the surface. Her perfect blonde hair forms a halo floating around her face and she laughs delightedly as she comes back up to take a deep breath of air.

"You have absolutely gotten a gold star from me, darling. You're all that I could've wanted and more. I only hope I played some part in making you the magnificent thing you've become. So very bold."

Firestar has posed:
A sigh and she floats to the ground again, watching her. While she isn't going to set her on fire or the like, she isn't helping her out of the pool either. She manages a half smile, the left corner of her mouth curling up a little inspite of herself,"You did. Maybe more than I would like, but some part of me knows you helped me to survive from that learning." Again, not terribly friendly, but not setting her ablaze depsite the water either.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost climbs up out of the pool, walking up the steps and letting the water spill over her alabaster skin, basking in the sunlight. She would be beautiful in diamond form, too, shining and glittering, but she's making a point in being vulnerable here. She doesn't want to show even an ounce of fear or hesitance. That would be weak.

"Good. I'm glad to know you'll be able to stand up for yourself -and- the rest of us if it's called upon. I only ever wanted to help you, even if I was sometimes perhaps...indelicate."

Firestar has posed:
The power around her finally settles, not wanting to show any fear either considering. These two are in for an interesting future, but at least Angelica doesn't seem too interested in cooking Emma. She finally nods and replies,"I took the things you taught me and honed them a different way."

"You know my dad didn't know how to deal with me, that's how I ended up with you in the first place. Alpha Flight took me in and honed me to what you see. I may not like how it was done, but my experience with you is part of me and partially made me what I am." she comments with a little less of a cold tone. Baby steps.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost nods, "I know. You were a frightened bird placed into my hand and I wasn't always gentle with you. I knew the world wouldn't be either. And I'm good at being a bitch. Partially because I am one but partially because you can't get very far in a world run by humans and men if you don't learn how to bite back."

"I will miss the sweet, kind girl I first met. But I'm glad to know that you're stronger now."

Firestar has posed:
Angelica finally nods one last time,"I was all of that and more." she agrees,"You were what you thought you needed to be. I miss that girl as well, but she wouldn't have survived things that have passed."

Glancing at her phone she nods,"For now. I need to go see an old friend." she comments,"Maybe next time we see each other Emma we will be a little more...cordial." Taking up her bag she starts towards the mansion again.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost nods, "Good luck to you, then, Firestar. You're shining quite bright."
