I Get Caught Up When The Rage In Me Subsides [OPEN]

Alkali Lake had only been a partial failure. They'd struck a blow at Stryker and retrieved Darwin, though Stryker himself had escaped. The plan for Washington was put on hold as Erik and Charles began construction on the lower levels. They needed a place to hide, they needed a secret way out and they needed somewhere to construct a new and more

ooc: Out and about? Also, this tag as I am crashing...

Ororo was standing outside, watching the sky - with more than her eyes, for the moment. She heard the quiet steps behind her and let go of her powers, turning around with a half-smile of curiosity. Erik.

"Restless?" He certain didn't look like somebody out for the leisure.

[Good dreams!]

"Always," Erik replied matter-of-factly.

Was he prowling? Perhaps. Perhaps he was becoming territorial. Perhaps that came with having a piece of ground that could be called your territory.

He looked up to where her gaze had been directed before she heard him coming.

"Any... activity?"

And now, back to tagging. Ferreal.

Ororo's eyebrow rose in his direction. "Ordinarily, I'd suggest getting enough rest in the calm between the storms, but..." Not many of them had the privilege to relax.

"Luckily, there doesn't seem to be anything. We're staying safe for now."

She wasn't sure if this was the right time to ask - or if there was one - but since there didn't seem to be people around them, she might as well. "What's next? Other than classes, which are under way already."

Truthfully, Bella wasn't much for putting herself in the more heavier populated areas of the house. Since Alkali Lake, and her learning that Remy had been there, she found herself filled with an unrelenting anger.

She wanted to leave, and found herself packed and ready to go so many times in the last few weeks that she should have been. Why she hadn't was still a mystery. Even to her.

Now, she sat perched on the stone steps looking out across the east side of Xavier's property with bag between her legs.

Anywhere had to be better than here.

"Leaving, are you?"

His tone was mild as he came to a stop in his travels at the foot of the stairs.

"Where are you going to go?"

[killtosavealife]

Her eyes fell to the bag in front of her, before looking ahead.

"I don't know." she replied distantly.

[prefers_magneto]

"Sounds like much of my life," he admitted. "Yours as well, I expect. Has this been the longest you've ever spent in one place?"
