Ororo Munroe had not forgotten about the X-Men while in Wakanda.  It was true that she had no visited them in a long time, and that she could not visit them now.  However, her daughter was more than capable.  Akilah arrived at the mansion with a tote bag and a sealed envelope.  She waited at the front gate after making it known she had arrived, however unexpected it was.

Joey's been working on this idea of his for several months, since he managed to get someone to tell him Rose's birthday. The plan has changed several times over the last couple of months, but when Joey finally decided exactly what to do for her birthday, he'd gone all in with the plot.

Justin had known mutants all his life, but staying at Xavier's was still a surreal experience. He's still getting to know his way around the place, and the only person he truly knows is Misha. After girding himself against the possibility of running into Misha's old man (who looked exactly like Commander Howlett from his own world) Justin heads to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

He grabs a tray and steps into the line, not really saying anything to anyone else. He's gotten a few stares, being the new guy and all, but no one's been hostile; in fact, they've all been really nice. Grabbing himself a turkey sandwhich and potato chips, he sits down and begins to eat, his mind going over calculations for the armor, when an odd bit of conversation cuts into his reverie.

After his meetings with Joey and (who he thinks might be) Justin, Cassidy is trying to focus on something else so that he doesn't freak out. Freaking out would be bad. Not only because he might have just ratted out Tina, but because he's about to take a pretty big risk. He puts on his new containment suit with the strange decorations and makes sure it fits. It does. The strange metallic designs glow faintly as he looks at himself in the mirror.

He slips on a new pair of jeans and a long-sleeve black shirt, followed by boots, and takes another deep breath. Then he goes downstairs to the front gate at the appointed time. Carlos, Joey's guy, hands over the small package to Cassidy and Cassidy thanks him. Carlos nods and walks away, leaving Cassidy to consider the last part of his plan.

Does he leave the gift, knock and run or does he actually hand it to her. To solve his dilemma, Cassidy asks himself an all-important question: 

What would Cyclops do?

Ten minutes (and much internal debate later) Cassidy knocks on Izzy's door. When she answers, he thrusts the package toward her and takes a deep breath.

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
