Sunday, August 26, 2026.
Breakstone Lake. 6:50PM.


    Every year, the organizational side of the party gets better and better. With the help of the faculty and staff, alongside many returning students and allies of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, there is an array of different things to do. In fact, since noon, there have been food and drink inside the Boat House, games of volleyball, water Frisbee, and Marco Polo being played, and music by several student DJ's spinning on two to three hour intervals. As the sun begins its descent, various lights attached to the surrounding forest turn on to give a stunning display around the lake's reflection.

    Bobby's infamous ice slide is much larger in height than usual, as numerous sliders continue riding down into the waters below. It is positioned next to the Boat House, nearly towering over the two story house itself. The first floor, where the boats are normally housed, is a make-shift stage surrounded by speakers and light fixtures positioned professionally and high enough to avoid contact with the waters below. As the sun dips even lower in the horizon, the stage lights up and various musicians start making their way onto it. A non-musician follows suit in the form of Ororo Munroe, carrying a microphone stand to the center stage.

    ?"Testing, testing..." Ororo says as the microphone gives a loud wail, enough to get the attention of the surrounding individuals in the lake and relaxing on the beach-front. Stepping forward, further away from the speakers behind her, Ororo notices that a technician adjusts the microphone's volume to prevent any further feedback. "Testing, testing... There we go. Ladies and gentlemen, we all hope you have been enjoying all the festivities today, and we don't hope to stop now." She pauses, looking to the massive slide to her right and then returns to the crowd in front of her.

    ?"Icarus, Andrea, and Dazzler will take the stage shortly. In the meantime, there is plenty of food and drinks in the Boat House. If you are new to the school, welcome! Get to know your fellow students and staff. We also want to thank everyone for not going to Logan's cabin this year. He is quite grateful, even if he doesn't look it. Anyway, have fun and be ready to be entertained!" And with that, Ororo turns off the microphone and places it back on the stand, turning to walk underneath the Boat House where the performers were getting ready.

    "Ten minutes guys! Has anyone seen Andrea?"

Rage has posed:
Having got ready back stage, Andrea is in her 'outfit', which consists of a pair of snug denim shorts with a ton of destroy upon them, and a sleeveless tank top that says: Mutie Cutie, on the front with pink cursive writing. She has a bit of makeup on her face, the type that shines and shimmers. Because this is a concert for her student body, she wanted to put on a good show for them, so she got a few of her backup dancers and some of her production crew to help put the stage together for everyone, along with top of the line sound systems, speakers and microphones. She is currently rocking on her feet with a lot of energy in her body, waiting for her turn.

Cyclops has posed:
The entire grounds are covered in small pockets of students split off into their respective groups, all enjoying snacks and beverages and each others' company. At the mention of the next performance, the vast majority of them turn and make their way over to the stage so hey can get the best spot to see one of the resident stars.

Once the initial stampede dies down and the area in front of the stage is filled, Scott Summers lingers towards the back. His eyes scanning the crowd, he stands with his arms folded over his chest and he manage to have a relaxed expression on his face for a change. He always enjoyed the 'welcome back' festivities and today seems to be no exception. That being said, he's still in business mode by keeping an eye on everyone and making sure things don't get too out of hand. And he'll get a chance to see what the sensation is all about. He's worked with Andrea in the context of the Institute and the New Mutants but he hasn't had much of an opportunity to listen to her music.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue has come up from Manhattan to make an appearance at the party, she's got a dark red hoodie on over a black tanktop and its unzipped down to the waistline, a pair of black mesh gloves on her hands keep her hands cool but not dangerously exposed and some jeans and black wedge heeled boots complete her ensemble. She's here to just relax and interact with friends from Xavier's, as its been a year since she graduated highschool here and has since moved on to college in the city and a job with the Avengers.

Rogue is near to where the drinks are, but she's just got a cup of ice tea as she's still only 19 and not of age to drink anything stronger than that (if anything of that variety is even within reach!).

Professor X has posed:
     Charles had been reading one of his favorite books before he took notice of the time. A small hint of laughter escapes the elderly man's mouth as he makes sure he's fully prepared in terms of attire to arrive at the celebration of welcoming everyone to the school with such a huge shebang. But, despite how loud and sometimes rowdy these parties can get, Charles really does love to go and enjoy them.

     Thus does the Professor wheel himself over to the festivities just in time to listen to Storm tell all present that festivities will certainly continue. While he doesn't wheel himself up to anyone in particular, he does pause on a nice little perch of earth, a smile on his face as he watches everyone just have a great time.

     He does notice many faces, like Andrea, Rogue, and Scott. It...was extremely heartwarming to see everyone so happy about this party and for the school year.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir roams around a bit, looking around the crowd and sipping some soda, in black leathery gloves, a dark red light jacket, low-cut black tank top, studded belt and dark blue jeggings, black shoulder bag slung across her body.

She spots a flash of gloves and roams over that way, smiling some and looking around to avoid doing anything dangerous by accident and to keep an eye out for idiots trying to put things on her neck or whatever. "Hey."

Storm has posed:
    Ororo utilizes her height to get a better view of those around her, stepping on the tip of her toes and looking around the various dancers and technicians until the shimmer of makeup catches her attention. "Andrea!" she calls out, waving a manicured hand in the air to get the student's attention. The Kenyan decides to cut the distance between them, moving with the crowd that is gathering now that it is almost show time.

    "You look nice!" Ororo compliments, nodding her approval of Andrea's attire. "I know this isn't a sold out stadium or some large venue, but it's great that you decided to do this. Thank you. Almost ready?" While standing in front of Andrea, Ororo positions herself enough where she is able to see the crowd shift about. It almost made the weather witch uncomfortable, but she is maintaining and ignoring certain thoughts trailing through her mind.

Rage has posed:
"Oh, it's no problem. A show is a show, no matter how big or small. To be honest, this one may be the biggest of them all for me. I'm here as a mutant, representing my school, and not just a popstar on the world stage. I'm going to crush this." Andrea says with a grin to Ororo as she continues to rock back and forth on her ankles with energy built up in her body. She has a headset on with a mic positioned along her cheek, as well as a small dongle in her ear to hear herself over the music.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue raises her cup up for a sip as she walks past Scott, she lowers the cup and looks over at him with a grin then slowly shakes her head at him as if she's disapproving of SOMETHING about him, but she doesn't say WHAT... when in actuality she's just trying to mess with him!

She stops at the table to get a refill for her cup and then sees the Professor's arrival, he gets a much more normal greeting, with a wave and a smile. And now with renewed cup, the southern belle steps over to the side of the food area, passing by some other students and then takes note of the girl she'd met down in the city. "Erika!" Rogue says. "Whats happenin'?"

Cyclops has posed:
Scott stands almost like a statue as he gazes out over the crowd of students. He notices a younger girl standing at the back trying desperately to see over a rather tall young man and failing to do so. Stepping forward, he taps the young man's shoulder and ushers the shorter girl in front of him so she can get a better view. Nodding at the obliging young man, Scott steps back just in time to catch sight of Rogue out of the corner of his eye.

He catches her grin and the shake of her head as she walks by him towards the drink table. Turning his head to follow her as she goes, his eyebrows furrow. It would appear that she succeeded. He glances down at himself to make sure he didn't inadvertently spill something on himself. He then holds an arm out to check it over as well when it dawns on him what she's up to. Pursing his lips, he glances over his shoulder towards her again with a disapproving expression, possibly a hint of a grin forming on his lips.

Professor X has posed:
     Charles awaits for the music to begin, though a few students approach him to ask him simple questions about school schedule and proper dress attire....okay, the latter one was mainly from a few *ahem* nerdy folk who cared about that. But Charles answered their questions, shook hands, and personally greeted some of the more shy students.

     With that small smile on his face, he eventually moves closer to the events. He does notice the exchange between Scott and Rogue but he says nothing, BUT the Professor gives a happy little wave to Rogue as she gives him a more normal greeting.

     Honestly, Charles //is// excited to hear Andrea sing. SHe had a beautiful voice and one she wasn't ashamed about. More importantly than that? She was being mutant and proud of being a mutant. Setting a good example for the tone at the school, for certain.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir grins! She drifts up to Rogue, briefly straightening her hair. "I'm good! Just, you know. Meeting everybody! Thinking of stuff to do later. I might need to get out and meet new people soon. How have you been doing?" She smiles and offers a gloved fist bump, sipping some soda.

A brief glance around the space, as she mentally ticks through who she recognizes or doesn't, and what she knows about them. Her mind is ticking lightly through what people are carrying and if they are doing anything weird.

Storm has posed:
    "You are," Ororo says in agreement, placing a hand against the young performer's shoulder. "Have a great show."

    Maneuvering through the crowd, stopping promptly as two students race each other to the second floor of the boat house, Ororo finally makes her way to the back of the gathering masses. Seeing Scott in the distance, she makes her way next to her friend, nudging him slightly as she stands with him.

    "It gets bigger every year," Ororo says, shaking her head at the amount of individuals attending the party, surrounding them. "I bet half of them will not wake up in the morning." A grin forms slightly.

Rage has posed:
Giving a nod of her head, Andrea waits for her to head off. Once the crew gives her the thumbs up, the stage is washed in darkness as the lights cut out.

There is a hum of excitement in the air as the student body begins to cheer loudly as a low pitch of fog begins to travel along the bottom of the stage, followed by the rumble of electricity in the air as the speakers turn on. The music hits all at once as it travels upwards quickly with an upbeat electro-pop and a zippy keyboard. This track is off her new album. A real club banger.

Lights now begin to flash along the dark stage as it appears a number of bodies have appeared, standing in formation with Andrea in the front. As the lights strike her face, the make-up glitters here and there to make her dark eyes shine.

"Everybody's Freeeeeeeee! To feel good!"

Her voice soars out as the lights hit the stage all at once as the five bodies on the stage begins to dance in tight choreography. Andrea at the front moves along with her dancers, letting the lyrics roar out of her throat.

"Brother and sister, together we'll make it through!
Someday a spirit will lift you and take you there!
I know you've been hurting but I'll be there waiting to be there for you!
And I will be here to help you out, whenever I can!
Because everybody's Freeeeeee! To feel good!"

Cyclops has posed:
Offering a nod towards Professor X as he turns his attention away from Rogue, that troublemaker, Scott greets Charles from afar before glancing over to see Ororo stepping to his side. Her nudge elicits another grin from the brother Summers and a nudge to her side in return. Always happy to see his friend, Scott smiles at her and nods before turning his gaze back to the crowd in mention, "It would seem so."

He takes in the view of the stage and the festivities and glances back to Ororo over his shoulder, "Well done with everything, as usual. The students are fortunate to have you here to make things like this happen for them."

Then suddenly the lights go dark and the crowd ambiance grows from a hum to a cheer as Andrea makes her way out on stage. Scott offers Storm one more nudge then turns his attention to the stage, watching as Andrea is lit up. As the song begins, his eyes gaze over the enthralled crowd as it seems to rock back and forth in time with the beat.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue returns the fist bump to Erika and just grins lightly at her. "I've been good... fought a bunch of weird ice giants from another dimension about twenty four hours ago... ya know, the usual." She smirks pretty big then and takes another sip from her tea. "Ya not meetin' enough people around here?" She asks, glancing around at all the other students and the commotion prior to the music starting.

Rogue does notice Storm stepping over toward Scott hough and she offers Ororo a nod and a wave of her hand to, since she was the X-Men member Rogue had most recently gone a mission with to uncover information on creepy religious kooks.

When the music kicks in, things get pretty loud, but Rogue's been to a lot of live concerts in the city so she's fairly used to it. She's glad she's at the back though and out of the pit of crazy students near the stage... for a number of reasons.

Professor X has posed:
     It was all fun and games until the music got blasted.

     Woooaaahh. That's a little too loud perhaps for Charles taste. But! He actually wheels himself over to Scott and Ororo, a small smile on his face. "Storm, good to see you've put everything together so nicely." he gives her an appreciative nod before he glances to Scott. "Scott, Enjoying the music so far I hope?" he speaks to Scott a little louder, because...well, the music....aaand classic old-man-bad-hearing-disorder rears it's ugly head once again.

However, Charles also looks to Rogue when she looks on over, giving her a friendly little wave. Alas, he turns his head lastly to Andrea as she belts out her music. Ah, wonderful as always. Oh! there's Erika. He was looking for her. Though seeing her with Rogue does put him at ease. She's becoming comfortable with her surroundings. Good! All smiles, all smiles.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir tracks her eyes over to the stage, then back. Andrea is knocking out an amazing dance bubblegum beat.. and she doesn't do bubblegum. "Well, I meet people, just sometimes.. I have a super, super social power. And I don't have much to work with sometimes. I'm always on the lookout for stuff I can use right now." She has a few souvenirs stashed here and there, anyways.

She shrugs a little bit, having chosen this spot for much the same reason - Rogue afraid of a brief touch of bare fingers, her afraid of a brief touch of sleeve. "Giants? That's super cool. I did some stuff, nothing like that though, but now I think I need better clothes for it. Do you know how hard it is to get old cigarette ashes out of your bra? Eeew. Gotta get a better outfit."

Storm has posed:
    "You know as well as I do that I couldn't have done any of this myself," Ororo replies, looking over the crowd. It is in that moment that her blue eyes meet that of Rogue's green eyes, and Ororo waves to the former student and member of the X-Men. A familiar sensation pricks at the back of Ororo's mind and she turns to see the smiling face of the founder and Headmaster of the school, Professor Charles Xavier.

    "Charles! You made it." After a couple steps, Ororo is next to the man, bending down to give him a hug. "There was something I needed to tell you..." Her voice falls to a lower tone as she starts rummaging through thought and memory. With all the decorating and coordinating for the day's event, so much had gone undone on Ororo's to do list if it wasn't focused on the party. "Ah! I almost forgot to tell you, Professor, that we had a visit from Doctor Bruce Banner. We need to talk about that later, but please remind me. He was seeking a telepath for some sort of research."

    As the concert begins, Ororo claps as Andrea performs, her voice clear and vivid for her audience. She even begins moving her hips a little to the beat. The lights and the choreography from the dancers bring everything together, and Ororo is quite impressed with what is showcased so far. The crowd of students and staff were certainly enjoying it by the look of things.

Rage has posed:
As she continues to sing, Andrea is all smiles as she looks to pump the crowd up with the music, dancing and stage set. The first song ends, and another one begins, continuing in the same vein of energy and uplifting lyrics. This is a song on her first album, one that is well known by the crowd and one of her top charting singles. The lights strobe along the stage in hypnotic patterns as the popstar sings her heart out.

"Move your body! Every-everybody! Move your body! Come on now move your body!"

The song has a heavy drumline behind it, along with a heart racing pulse of guitars and keyboards. She spins and twirls along with her backup dancers in complicated maneuvers of legs and arms in pin-point precision. It has to take hundreds of hours to be this in time with each other as well as the beat of the song. As the chorus hits, she holds her mic out to the crowd as they roar along the lyrics, motioning with her free hand. Louder. Sing louder. Be free!

Cyclops has posed:
Scott nods with a slight grin at Ororo. She never gives herself enough credit although it's not because she doesn't deserve it. She's always quick to give credit to everyone else. A true leader in every sense of the word. He follows her gaze back to the Professor as she makes her way to him and begins speaking to him in a more hushed tone. Like the rest of the staff, even during special events she has business that needs to be discussed.

He glances beyond them towards Rogue and Erika, narrowing his eyes slightly at Rogue despite the fact that she can't see them. He lifts a hand and briefly waves to Erika, having not seen her since he dismissed her from detention a few days ago. He knows she's having a bit of a rough spell lately and is glad to see her out and about.

Once the first song ends, Scott's atention is drawn back to the stage and he applauds along with the rest of the crowd, the sound of the students cheering filling the air and reverberating across the lake. He watches Andrea command the stage like a seasoned professional. Her impressive stage presence is understandably captivating the crowd.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue glances back over to Erika, taking her eyes off of the singing and the big show. She grins at the younger girl. "My favorite tweet about the attack last night was 'Ninety pound girl tackling and crushing Giants in New York. What else is new?'" With a snicker, Rogue takes another sip from her cup and then brushes her white bangs out of her face and glances over to the Faculty where they're all clumped, she smiles at them quickly before she looks to Erika again.

"I haven't had that happen t'me yet, nope. You shouldn't be smokin' at your age anyhow. Or any age for that matter." Oh god, what has Captain America's training vidoes done to her...

Rogue leans over closer to Erika then while her eyes are on Andrea up on stage. "Scott's got some alcohol around here somewhere, I'm sure of it. Its probably hidden underneath some school books or somethin' nerdy like that that he thinks we'd never look under." A large grin is shown before the 19 year old looks around for Scott-like books or folders or boring school stuff that could be covering a cooler, all whilst the music blazes and all the students up front are in crazy mode over it.

Professor X has posed:
     Charles smiles big and wide and happily returns the hug that Ororo gives to him. "Hello Ororo. I hope you've been well?" But as news comes of Storm needing to speak with him..and from the manner of how it is in hushed tones, it cannot be good. As such, Charles has an extremely concerned look upon his old features. "What is it, Ororo?" He reaches to touch her shoulder before she tells him. But then she tells him about Dr. Banner. "Doctor Banner? My, whatever for?" Charles asks curiously before He likely touches Ororo's mind.

     <<What troubles you, Storm?>> Charles asks before his eyes look to Scott with a smile, as if appreciative for him even if Scott is just enjoying the show like everyone else. Good to see him //relax// for once.

     Then his attention goes to Andrea, and the Professor cheers! "Bravo! Bravo!" he claps happily for Andrea.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir shrugs a little. "Yeah, well, it wasn't because I wanted to. Tasted pretty vile once I got untapped. But I had to keep the butts touching me somehow. Anyways, I got talked to after now, and now I feel like a bit of a mess. I'm not even allowed to learn how to defend myself for awhile."

She stops and listens and nods. Hmmm. She actually studies people here a little.. "It would have to be in something big enough to hold something like that, too." She tracks with her eyes. Scott probably wouldn't put things so close that he would risk being caught, so that leaves just a few places.. staff-only areas too, somewhere he would have an excuse to kneel down..

Storm has posed:
    << "I don't know much about Bruce Banner, other than him having a brilliant mind and his alter-ego being a mainstay on the news lately," >> Ororo offers to Charles mentally, unsure if concern is deciphered through her telepathic tone. << "Either way, I didn't feel comfortable with him being around the school. He seems worried about something, though, considering he didn't want anyone to know that he was on the mansion grounds." >>

    In that moment, Ororo also makes a note to get updated protocols on the mansion's defenses, considering Banner had already gotten too close for comfort by the time she intervened. Nevertheless, her attention returns to the concert briefly, still scanning the vicinity idly to ensure nothing bad happens. "Scott," Ororo calls out, looking to the man. "Did you bring them?" She is hoping he is able to decipher what 'them' is in this instance, not wanting to say alcohol too loud for others to hear.

Cyclops has posed:
He's fairly certain he understands what 'they' are, and he wouldn't have arrived without them. Although he's had to be fairly inconspicuous about it. Nodding to Ororo, Scott turns and makes his way over towards the drink table and glances around at the students, specifically Erika and Rogue who seem to be lingering nearby. He wouldn't be surprised if Rogue was on the hunt for adult beverages. Too bad she didn't lift up the table cloth!

Scott kneels down beside the table, hoists up the cloth, and yanks out a small cooler. Only big enough for a half dozen bottles, it had to do for the evening. Plus, the staff shouldn't be consuming much more than that anyway. He rises back to his feet and glances at Rogue with a grin on his lips as he nods in her direction, touching his forehead in a mock salute before wandering back towards Ororo and the Professor. He unzips the cooler and holds it open for her, "It isn't much, but what I have is yours." He reaches in and grabs himself a bottle of beer and looks at Charles, "Of course you're welcome to have one as well." He knows Charles is likely not going to partake, but he offers nevertheless.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue is still looking around as well, but not wanting to LOOK like she's looking around so she just keeps sipping her tea and glancing over at Erika. "Don't worry about defendin' yourself. This place is well defended enough as it is... Trust me." Rogue is a teenager still, but she knows the ins and out sof the school's security system.

When Scott moves, she indicates in his direction for Erika... and then pulls the cooler out from under the table where she'd been standing just a bit agaon. A heavy exhale escapes her lips then and she shakes her head at the one known as Cyclops yet again tonight. "One and a half more years and I'll be in charge'a where we hide that." She says over to him with a big grin.

Professor X has posed:
     Charles gives only the briefest chuckle to Scott with a small smile on his face. "Oh thank you Scott, but no thank you. I'm a litle too old for that now and I'd like to not be tempted by the taste of younger years." the Professor laughs just a little bit before he focuses on his conversation with Storm.

     <<I see. I know full well of Doctor Banner's...condition. I don't feel comfortable either but...was he searching for something or someone? Perhaps I should seek him out...>>

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir ehs. "Sometimes I want to do things like, you know. Visit my parents. One time I did that and we got jumped by vampires. And one of my teachers is getting chewed on *here*, so I don't know that it's THAT safe. Plus there was the swordfight in the lawn that one time." She frowns a bit, thoughtful.

she ohs, "Are you coming back then?" She smiles at Scott and waggles her fingers, sipping some soda. "Hey Scott. How is everybody?" She looks between Scott and Charles and takes a brief mental note, then grabs another can of soda. "Too late, looks like."

Storm has posed:
    << "Please do, Professor. He was seeking telepathic expertise." >>

    Unfortunately, Ororo isn't of the telepathic capacity, so she couldn't help him out in his time of need, and the other telepaths of the mansion were occupied. She wishes the man the best. But in the moment, as Scott returns, the focus is on the beer that is now in her possession after grabbing a bottle from the cooler. A small smile goes to Charles as he declines the offered adult beverage, having known the man for some time and never truly seeing him let loose. His control is admirable at best.

    But the woman with the Mohawk gives in, removing the cap and motioning a 'cheers' in Scott's direction. Ororo takes a big gulp from the beer, allowing the malty drink to fall down her throat before a burp threatens to escape. She covers her mouth instinctively, and then takes another sip. Who said this was just a party for the students? "You are God-sent. Thank you."

Cyclops has posed:
Lifting his own beer in response to Ororo, Scott tips the neck against that of her bottle before lifting it to his lips, "Cheers." He offers her a smile and then takes a short sip. He isn't one to drink to excess and especially doesn't drink much in the presence of the students, but it is a party and the staff are included in the festivities.

As Andrea continues on stage, Scott takes another look around before glancing down at his watch. He has some work to catch up on before the school year kicks into full swing and from the looks of things the students are staying orderly and the other staff members have more than enough ability to calm things down should they get out of hand.

With that, Scott turns to Ororo and the Professor and offers them both a warm smile, "I must be off. You two enjoy the evening." He nods to them both one more time and then heads off towards the mansion, tipping his head to Erika and Rogue on his way back in, "Good evening you two."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue glances back over to Erika and she grins at her. "Yeah, I'm not sayin' weird stuff doesn't happen around here, cause it does. I lived here nine months and I saw all kindsa strange stuff, but what i mean is there's a lotta people here who're really good at defendin' ya from it, so ya should take some comfort in that at least... until you can train t'defend yourself. Which'll come someday."

And with that said, Rogue glances down at her phone and then shoots out an exhale. "I'm gonna wander on over toward that big ice slide thing thats definitely not in the direction'a Logan's cabin where there's poorly hidden booze." And she starts walking that way while the music continues. She passes by the Professor and pats him on the shoulder casue hey, its the Professor and he's the reason she's not a homeless mental patient still.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir nods. "Well, I *am* training to defend myself, even though that's kind of committing myself to, you know. The Way Of The Cape. But like, a lot of that stuff is like "You might need to know this once or twice ever", and that kind of stuff, I can just grab a bracelet or a bead or a hairclip off of a master and I am totally set, you know? Oh.. right. OK. I'll talk to you later."

She smiles at Charles and waves, tilting her head at him and thinking. Hmmm. She hasn't been called into his office yet, so no rush there, right? It's definitely going to happen after that video, she's sure...

Storm has posed:
    Taking another sip of her beer, Ororo nods as Scott dismisses himself. She looks at her watch in that moment, thinking to herself that there are two other acts to follow Andrea. With a sigh, Ororo finishes the remainder of the beer and throws the bottle in a nearby trashcan.

    At what looks like to be Andrea's final song, Ororo maneuvers back towards the stage area underneath the boat house. She needs to check to see if Icarus is ready, and then Dazzler. While she didn't realize it until now, Ororo has a feling tonight is going to be longer than she anticipated.

    "Icarus?" Ororo shouts. "Has anyone seen Icarus?!"
