Polaris has posed:
It's fairly late in mutant town. Most people are either settling in for the night or out on a bender. Then there are those who are somewhere in between, making a scene, getting drunk, causing trouble. Somewhere in the hallway outside Alex's apartment,n there's some sort of scuffle, an argument between two tenants perhaps although one voice sounds pretty familiar. Hey, isn't that Lorna? Sounds like she's in an argument with some other tenant. What's all that about?

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head getting up to go see what his wayward girlfriend is getting into. He opens the door and looks around finding where Lorna is. "Lorna, Hey Lorna, the hell is goin' on out here?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane is standing face to face with some big burly man...Both of them seem to be rather drunk and disheveled, the guy is holding one of her wrists, looking like he's trying to make moves on her, Lorna is having none of it, getting ready to blast into him while trying not to use lethal force.

"..I said let go of me! Unless you want a piece of this?!" her form is glowing eerily green, They both seem a tad drunk. This can not end well either way.

Havok has posed:
Havok runs forward and slams a fist into this burly guy's face. "Let go of my girl!" He growls at him. "Lorna my love the hell is going on here, I'll ask again." Before turning his attention back to big burly and dumb. "You touch my girl again and ill blast you into the ether!"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane glares at the guy, stepping back and letting Alex deal with this mess. Burly doesn't look amused. "The hell, man? She started it!" he growls, nursing his sore jaw as he limps away. Lorna sighs, shaking her head, "He's lying, I just held the door open for him and made a funny joke..You saw the rest...Geez, is everyone an idiot around here?" yeah, someone's in a bitchy mood tonight..

Havok has posed:
Havok chuckles and puts an arm around her as burly runs off. "Lorna stop letting them get under your skin come let's get you a nice hot cup of tea yea?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane bristles, shaking her head, "Why not? Every asshole in this neighbourhood thinks he can take advantage of me, and I'm sick of it!"she snarls, eyes glowing intensely green, although she relaxes slightly at his touch and sighs, "Even my father takes advantage of me.." she mutters, getting to the root of her issues lately.

Havok has posed:
Havok grunts and pulls her tight to him opening the door and letting her in. "You know you could always just move in here." Alex says with a smile. "As for these ass holes, that's what they are. You're father Lorna, I think it may be best to put some distance between yourself and the master of magnetism."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane laughs, "You know me, can't stay place anywhere for very long..." she smirks wryly, following him into the room, "You might be right.." she yawns and stretches tiredly, flopping on the sofa, unceremoniously, "Got anything strong? I've had a *really* rough night, Make it worth your while?" she grins and winks at him impishly.

Havok has posed:
Havok chuckles. "Lorna we both travel a lot for work, and stuff it doesn't hurt to have a place to come home to thats just ours does it?" Alex asks with a laugh as he brings out the bottle of whiskey and two tumblers.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane nods and sighs, hugging her arms as she stares down at her lap, hands balled into tight fists in her lap. "Yeah...I guess I do but..Is Mutant Town really safe? Especially now, given things.." she laughs and shakes her head, "Guess that would make me a deserter huh, trying to convince the folks of Mutant Town to come join us in Genosha, only to turn my back on them...But..I'm..Afraid.." she tenses, looking really worried about something.

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head back and forth. "What's up with you Lorna? Mutant town is no better or worse than it's ever been. And we don't need to run to Genosha, don't need to convince them to either. We can have a good life here, so tell me what the hell is going on, and what's on your mind."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane sighs, staring down at her slightly shaking fists. "It's..Magneto. He's..Well, I dunno what he's up to, but I think he's gone mad.." she frowns, "Jean convinced me to go on an expedition with her to Egypt to try and talk reason to him after discovering he's searching for Apocalypse's tomb..I agreed to help her as a favor to the Xmen..But apparently Magneto is not in the mood for explaining himself."

She practically snaps, her voice like icicles, bitter, angry, "He convinced Jean to..Break open one of many tombs holding the key to Apocalypse's tomb..Then he ran off with that key, cockily proclaiming that he didn't need us all Afterall! Wouldn't listen to a word I said...Why do I even bother...?"

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head. "So let me get this straight, you let Jean convince you to go to Egypt, to try and talk some sense into your father, whom by the way has never been the most stable of people. Got a key for him that now he's going to use for God only knows what. And you didn't think to let me know about any of this?!?!" He growls almost losing control and letting out a pulse of kinetic energy.

He settles for pouring whiskey into both tumblers draining his in one go before pouring himself a second. "And what did my boyscout brother think of this snafu of a plan?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane frowns, folding her arms, "To be fair, it all happened so quickly, like, "I need your help right now, we leave tomorrow..' I sent you a text message, didn't you get it..?" now she's even more on edge, "Anyways, I'm telling you now..Magneto is up to something bad..And I don't know what to do. Scott was there, he seemed to think it was a good idea to chase after Magneto. But.."

She sighs, reaching for the bottle of Whiskey, pouring herself a glass. "Look, I'm telling you now, okay? I'm scared..For the people of Mutant Town, for the people of Genosha..I think my father has truly lost it now.."

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head pulling out his phone and pulling up his text messages and tossing it down in front of Lorna. "No I didn't receive your text, if I had I would have responded and told you not to do it or to wait for me." He says simply. "Now I've got a bigger bone to pick with my brother, how dare he put you at risk over this." He shakes his head. "He knows your father is unhinged."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane frowns, "That's weird...I wonder if my phone was malfunctioning again? I swear I sent that text.." she chugs down the whiskey, pours herself another glass. She seems a bit more high strung than usual..All this whiskey sure isn't helping. "Alex..I need to head to Genosha soon, beeef up our defenses. Magneto can't be trusted.." she sighs.

"But I'm so dang exhausted right now...Just need to catch some sleep eye.." she reaches out to grasp his sleeve, tugging him towards her, "Just need to relax a bit first, if I can.." she's got a dangerous look in her eye. At the best of times, she's pretty high strung..Right now.,Well she's outright unpredictable.l

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head drinking down more of his whiskey. "What we need to do is stop getting involved in these ploys the X-Men and the League come up with. What happened to us trying to live a quiet and normal life?" He asks curiously. "I really don't like that Scott and Jean put you up to this or put you into that situation, it really bothers me."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane nods and frowns, "Yeah, I should have left well enough alone, but with Genosha involved.." she pouts, trying to pull him towards her, "Will you forgive me?" she grins, "From now on, I'll do things your way and try to stay out for messy business like that..Although I am worried about Genosha's fate.."

Havok has posed:
Havok smiles and takes a long drink letting her pull him closer. "Yes I forgive you, though I'm still going to have to have a talk with my brother about getting you involved in their messes. After all we aren't actually members of their team. Genosha, we can check on and make sure everything is good, however we aren't hunting your dad down, unless we are doing it together and have contingency plans for our contingency plans."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane bites her lips, nodding slowly, "Okay, sounds good to me. I'll let you make the big decisions from now on..And you're right. We're trying to lead a quiet, peaceful life from now on, night?" she wriggles her brows mischievously at him and as he draws nearer, she attempts to climb into his lap with a mischievous smile, "However, at the moment I'm still feeling pretty tense..."

Havok has posed:
Havok smirks and helps her into his lap he kisses Lorna's lips softly and then her nose. "No we just make the decisions together from now on, this way we worry less." He smiles placing his hands on her waist. "Well what do you say we help you relieve some tension hmm?" Alex says with a playful and mischievous wink.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane grins and nods, stroking his hair slowly, thoughtfully, the tension rolling off her easily as it often does in his presence. "Yeah, sounds like a plan.l Hope you're not too mad at me?" she smirks, pressing a slow, gentle kiss against his lips, cupping his face in her hands, "You know I'm a pretty bad girl at the best of times.." there's that impish smile again..
