Nightingale has posed:
     A rather agitated Shannon is heading up the stairs with all possible speed. She's got her phone in her left hand, and is trying to somehow send a text to Sam while holding... is that a collapsible baton?!... in her right hand. What flows from her fingertips to the screen, and to the phone of its recipient bears enough typos to make one think that the writer was under the influence--but at least it's understandable.

     <<Big brother, we have a problem. Need to see you ASAP.>>

     Unfortunately, this also means she is -not- looking where she is going....

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's phone buzzes, and he looks down to see what it is. Is Sam coming from the girls dorms? It seems so. He stops just out of the walkway to start to reply to Shannon and looks up in time to see her rushing about.

Cyclops has posed:
Scott hasn't been active in the School for a few days - at least since the funeral. Truth be told, he has been suffering a rather awful cold, and has been staying mostly to his room in the staff end of the second floor. He's out for now, though, looking overly tired in comfortable clothing, passing down the hallway towards the stairs.

Scott does have more than enough awareness to dodge Shannon as she comes barreling up, though he lacks the energy to bark at her to slow down. "Take care," Scott says, his vice rusty.

Nightingale has posed:
     As she gets to the top of the stairs, Shannon's the one who nearly crashes right into Sam, and very nearly into Scott. "Ooof!" She shakes her head quickly, a few stray wisps of pale gold flopping down to what would normally be comical effect. However, she's definitely -not- laughing. She pales slightly when she sees Scott, looking between him and Sam. The evening had just gotten a lot more interesting.

     "Sorry about that... you okay?" She glances at Scott, hearing the raspiness of his voice. "'Tis the season to be sneezin'?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Yea, am ok, you said there is a problem, what happened kiddo?" he will ask concern showing on his face not seeming to have ben bothered by her bumping into him.

Cyclops has posed:
Sometimes it sucks to be the adult. Scott is tired, his tone is a little sharp at Sam. "What were you doing in the women's wing?" he asks, as if grumpy that he's been put into the position to need to deal with it. He's probably just getting food.

And then there's Shannon with a baton. Scott's expression goes from grumpy to serious very quickly. "Sneezing, among other things, yes." He waits to hear the answer to what Sam asked of Shannon, as well.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon holds the baton out to Sam, looking none too happy about having it in the first place. "Bean had a bit of a meltdown. I was heading outside with Chris to get rid of some cabin crazies... light duty really sucks. Walked right into a hornet's nest. Something triggered Bean to go after Vi. Chris and I were doing our best to defuse the situation, but well... I'm not sure if it was because of us or what, but next thing you know, he's backing down and started talking in German way too fast for me to keep up. I kept hearing the word 'Echo' in there, no clue what that is."

She sighs softly, placing the baton in Sam's hand. "He willingly surrendered this to me, just before Jubilee and Kurt arrived, and Jean got there not long after they did. Nobody got hurt, but he's pretty rattled, and I'm really worried for him."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will take the baton, and sighs a bit "Ok, going to have to talk to him, see what happened." He looks over to Scott, and does not say he is an adult or anything along those lines even though there is some temptation. He looks at the other man and says "Ah was worried about Terry, went to check on her make sure she was ok, Ah announced myself on the floor, nothing in appropriate was going on. " He looks over to Shannon and says "So he did not say why he lost it on her?

Cyclops has posed:
Scott doesn't push the question further: he learned what he wanted to know - that Terry was having a hard time. "Glad you supported her, then," Scott says. There isn't negativity there: he just wanted to know what the reason was.

"Jean's with them now?" Scott asks. His expression turns distant, and then he nods once. "She's with Vi."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon frowns a little, trying to think of the most delicate way to phrase this. However, at this hour, the halls were otherwise deserted, so she keeps her voice low. "He thought HYDRA sent her to kill him." She sighs softly, shaking her head. "Makes me see red, thinking of them messing around with good kids like Bean. I think as soon as Triage clears me, I wouldn't mind a round in the danger room to burn this off."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hms and says "Ok, well I believe this might be fixed with a little bit of a talk. I will have to talk to him a bit more, and it will be a while before he gets this back." He will say patting the baton in his hand. He looks over to Scott, and says "She is ok, was more a case of me thinking Ah saw something that was not there, but we had a good chat."

Cyclops has posed:
Scott's visor masking a great deal of his emotions, and his tiredness as well, but he's hiding the other half of what might be seen, on purpose. His deepened voice betrays his health, but otherwise, he's in control.

"All right. Put reports in for the incident. It sounds like it's been evened out; I'll look into it if needed, though it sounds as if Jean is already involved. If you learn more, report it to her, please." Scott flares a smile at the pair of them, starting to go for the stairs once more.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods slowly, pursing her lips slightly and crossing her arms as she looks over at Scott. "Don't suppose there's been any word...?" She leaves the rest unsaid, but hopefully the message is clear.

Turning towards Sam, she reaches out to touch his hand gently. "Please don't be too hard on him. I mean, yeah, it's got to be addressed, but this shook him deep enough where he went almost completely unresponsive for a few minutes there."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods his head a bi to this and says "I will listen to what he tells me and see what happened for sure. None were hurt this time, but what if he reacted like that when no one else was around, it could go badly. We are going to have to work on it. He needs to be able to control himself, ready for trouble yes, but not going after someone when there is not trouble.

Cyclops has posed:
"If you'd like to follow up with Illyana about that, you have my permission," Scott says to Shannon smoothly as he heads downstairs. "I don't know if it is high on her list of priority, but you can ask. With a nod, Scott disappears downstairs, and around into the dining area of the mansion.

Nightingale has posed:
     Illyana. Now there was one person Shannon saw precious little of. Seems like that was about to change. She rubs her temples slowly, turning to head back to her dorm. Now, how the dickens was she going to be able to get a hold of her...? And Bean... was he alright? She really hoped so....
