Rogue has posed:
Rogue delivers she and Kitty to Greenwich Village via the use of her black van. Once they pull up she's exiting the vehicle and shutting the door behind her. Her aviators are on and her leather jacket is situated over her shoulders, a tanktop on beneath it. She walks around the vehicle and toward the home, she doesn't know nothing about the fight that recently went down here.

A look is given back to Kitty. "Why didn't we just use the closet thing again?" She asks. "Why'd we drive all the way down here?" Even though they're just a few blocks away from where Aces lives now, and she plans on stopping by his new home to see him, give him some treats and such once they're done here.

Rogue steps up to the stairs and hops nimbly up them tooward the front doors, preparing to knock on them.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty says, "I just want to make sure it's safe again, before leaving the mirror back out where something could come through the other way," she says. "I had Illyana keeping it in Limbo with something nasty guarding it, hoping Loki would step through it. But apparently Doctor Strange had her bring it back and they launched an assault on the Sanctum through it."

She'd have heard that much at the least, assuming anyone was going to find the mirror to use it for the assault. Let alone out of her bedroom.

"Sounds like things are ok again. But, I wanted to check it out before going in the old way, just to be safe," she says.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    The front doors don't open as Rogue had grown accustomed to. No, they seem to wait for her to actually knock, even going so far as to meet her knuckles this time.

    Inside a certain black and grey haired man looks up and around and realizes he's not back at full capacity. "Oh, I forgot Wong." He groans to himself as he lowers his feet and steps out from under the red and yellow cloak to move to answer the door. Thankfully Strange had been doing work within the foyer and restoring some of the artwork and specific pieces of decoration back to the way the Sanctum liked it.

    Opening the door with a pair of piercing hazzle, blue and yellow color shifting eyes, Strange's eyes settle slowly on grey as he observes the mutants and a wash of familiarity crosses his face. "What're you two doing down here?" He asks in a polite tone and opens the door to let them in, not showing off but revealing the sling his heavily bandaged hand is in.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue glances over to Kitty and just sighs. "This is partly why I didn't want in on this magical lifestyle that they live here. I got a taste've it while I was here, its too much, its too wild, too crazy. I'd never be able t'sleep at night if I had t'deal with this stuff day in and day out. I'm not anti-drugs, but if I was a Wizard I'd probably need tons'a drugs just t'cope with how god dam---"

The door opens.

Rogue shoots a look over to the Doctor and then tilts her head at his question and smirks at him. "We're here cause the trouble from this place, has apparently started t'spill over inta our lil'neck'a'the'woods, so'ta speak, 'Doctor'."

Rogue looks the older man up and down. "You look weird." She says bluntly to him as she tries to step inside the house like she lived there or something.

Black Alice has posed:
Down one of the halls towards where the kitchen is a dark haired teenager with untamed pigtails pokes her head out of said kitchen and peers down towards the foyer when she hears .. people.

Honestly she has been avoiding Stephen since the Sanctum's wards were busted open and things seemed to be getting back to normal. But people... well that is interesting.

She comes slowly down the hall to investigate, a cup of coffee in one hand, in a mug that says not blood, and wearing black pajamas with black goat demon fluffy slippers on.

She doesn't say anything yet just lurks down the hall a small ways watching.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde eyes Doctor Strange as he opens the door. As he lets them in she passes through inside from off the street. "Wanted to make sure everything was ok, see how it went," she says. "The whole thing kind of came as a bit of a shock, I'm guessing you can imagine," Kitty says.

That's her being diplomatic, and there's enough in the brunette's expression that point will probably get across. "Also we have run across someone you're familiar with, Jeremy Larkin. Injured, and was imbued with energy from the Tesseract. So we came by to find out what you know about him," Kitty explains. Kitty doesn't seem to spot Black ALice yet.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen shuts the door with a lift of his grey eyebrow to Rogue, "Glad to see you haven't changed and are still as polite as ever." He says, motioning with his good hand for the mutants to enter. Then he looks to Kitty, "Did you give her coffee or booze this morning?" Strange asks as he ushers Kitty in as well.

    Without a look towards Alice, Strange steps up and then stops hard as soon as the door shuts. "Jeremy Larkin is at the mansion?!" Strange asks suddenly before anyone can answer, Stephen responds, "Kick him out, now." And then he turns towards the door to guide the girls.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue steps in and off to the side of the main entryway so that Kitty can come in too. She, does notice Alice off a litlte further into the school and she gives her a little upnod... must be a new student of Strange's.

Her green eyed gaze goes back to Strange when he gives her that little verbal jab, which draws a smirk out of her along with some follow-up sass. "My southern hospitality knows no bounds, Stephen." She states before she looks then to Kitty and back to the Doctor when he speaks of Jeremy.

"What, really?" She asks. "He showed up in the backyard'a the school, all broken and beaten up..." She glances back to Kitty then. "Whats a Tessaract?" She asks then, clueless as ever when it comes to this kind of thing.

Black Alice has posed:
Listening might actually connect some dots, or so Lori figures.

She takes a quiet sip of her coffee and then starts to meander slowly down the hall towards the three gathered there after the upnod from Rogue.

Another siip of her coffee "Well I am glad to see that you're back and he isn't around still and all that. For the record." she looks curious at Kitty who she has met then Rogue. "No one believed me when I tried to tell them what was wrong by the by... I think I have a reputation problem."

"Who is Jeremy Larkin?" pause a beat "Wait...Tessaract.. .. mmmmm" her expression very nuetral now.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty doesn't anything during the comments between Strange and Rogue. She sees Black Alice finally and gives the other young woman a friendly enough nod and a look of recognition. Though Doctor Strange's comment about Jeremy Larkin makes one of her eyebrows go up.

She pulls out her phone though hesitates in making the connection, "Why, is he a danger? He was injured and one of our people healed him, which took some of the injury on herself," Kitty says, awaiting confirmation before she makes the call.

Kitty looks to Rogue says, "You know. Tesseract. It's a... one of those... sort of a... another thing that makes our lives miserable that probably should have never been made. Avengers sort of stuff," she says. X-men don't get called on to save the world. It just gets forced on them. Usually. No big parties with celebrities to celebrate after, either.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    "A tesseract, Anna Marie, if you would have paid attention when you stayed here, is a four dimensional device, usually a cube and it is a way to bridge points in space." Stephen explains to Rogue before frowning and tapping his nose, "That's why Jeremy is dangerous, and yes Kitty, he is extremely."

    With a look to Alice, Stephen lifts an eyebrow, "You mean to tell me you both studied in this Sanctum at the same time and never once interacted..." Strange then rolls his eyes towards the situation and sighs.

    Turning his attention back to Rogue and Kitty, "Get him out of there immediately, you're all in danger." Stephen says with a gesture of his injured hand, kind of hinting that Jeremy might be responsible for the damage.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue's eyes look back to Alice as she asks about Jeremy as well, but its Kitty and Strange's response that makes her look back between them. She knows Stephen well enough to know when he's being even more serious than his usual mode of very serious.

She doesn't respond, she just turns to her left and pulls her phone out of her jacket pocket to send out an alert to the team. Her thumbs tap away at her phone, figuring Kitty is either doing the same or going to contact Scott or someone else directly.

"Why would a kid wanna bring a dimensional connector to Xavier's School?" Rogue asks while she types away, eyes down on the phone in her hands.

Black Alice has posed:
"Oh no... I talked to the fake you several times. He honestly was probably a pretty shitty teacher.. no lectures... locked me out of the room with the window to worlds and then ripped up the leylines and did all sorts of bad stuff... just no one believed me when I told them about it." she just eye rolls and sips her coffee. "or are we talking about me and Kitty here or someone else?"

"Honestly he was packing enough juice I didn't want to try to take it away from him and all.. figured it would sort itself out after telling other mystics about it failed... told that Hogarth guy from your order.. he scoffed at my being associated with you." that makes her amused really.

"I could use a space bridge.... also who says whatever brought the space bridge to your school is even a kid.. or a person..."

Shadowcat has posed:
"Calling Cyclops first," Kitty tells Rogue. This may be Black Alice's first indication that Kitty is showing signs to Alice of being something other than a girl in the know, staying in a room in the Sanctum.

She looks anxious as she waits for an answer, saying to Rogue, "I don't know if he has this thing there, just that the blue energy that Shannon picked up healing him, Beast said it was from this Tesseract thing," she says. "Could be it's what injured him?"

Kitty looks back to Doctor Strange. "And, we need to have a conversation about a heads up when you're being impersonated but get back and keep let me coming in here thinking it's you, when it's actually a dangerous evil god," she comments. When the phone connects she says, "It's Kitty. The Jeremy Larkin person... Doctor Strange says to get him out of there immediately, that he's extremely dangerous."

Doctor Strange has posed:
    "Do you think I would have told you if I knew I was being impersonated..." Stephen says with a look to all three ladies present but he doesn't linger on that though before he looks to Rogue and Kitty, "You really should go in person and don't trust anything you see once you get there. I will be sending help as soon as I can to get him off the premises if you are not successful." Stephen says with a follow up motion towards the hall Kitty/Rogue's room is/was. "I will also make sure your Van is returned in short order Anna Marie." Strange notes before looking back to Alice and giving her a silent shake of his head. These mutants do not need to be scared by the idea of fighting something alien to them on their own turf.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue can hear Alice's words while she's typing, as well as the others. Once she's finished she looks up and over to Kitty and then back to the Doctor. "Is this related to the mirror in the closet?" She asks as Doctor Strange indicates they should use it to get back there. Its a fair connection, since she'd been told many times that it was a security risk and now there's linked risk between these two locations.

Either way, she nods to Strange's indication that they should use it to get back to the school in short order and she starts in that direction, moving to pass by Alice on her way to where her old room used to be.

"Why does this keep happening?" She asks nobody in particular as she glances down at her phone to see if any of the X-Men had responded yet. They're probably in frantic mode though...

Black Alice has posed:
Alice siiiips her coffee pointedly when Strange gives her a look to not scare the nice girls like that

"Should I go with them and give them a hand with this Jeremy individual?" it is a genuine offer, though she looks to the Dr. and then to the girls in that order after she makes it.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde says into the phone, "Understand. Rogue and I are taking the short way back, will be there in moments. Be careful about trusting what you see," she says. Kitty looks over to Doctor Strange. "Is this Loki again?" she says, even as she starts moving towards the room she's dubbed 'Narnia' for the portal in the back of the wardrobe.

She's making a leap in logic there, but having someone impersonating strange, and then hearing not to trust what they see from this Jeremy Larkin, it's not a long leap to have to make either.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    "Talk to Jean, she was the one who warned me. But if you don't have time, it more than likely is Loki, but there's a greater than zero chance he's not really there or is somewhere else." Stephen says with a frown. Stinking illusionists are the worst.

    "Contact Illyana as soon as you can." Stephen recommends before he looks back to Alice and shakes his head, "No, you're not ready for that kind fo test." The doctor says without hesitation towards the young girl. "And I, have work to do here." He says before he starts to walk back to the front doors.
