Settling In

Things had been moving fast for Sengai Senyaka. First he met with Andrew Summers, head of the Genosha Consulate, and his bodyguard Giovanna Bennet, http://www.scribbld.com/users/whoholdsthewhip/318.html . He had explained his reasons for his coming then, the nature of his often difficult powers, and his own desire to to learn about the conflict between humans and mutants. Summers struck him as a good man, young perhaps, but he defintiely knew what he was talking about. He seemed like the kind of individual Sengai could see himself working under, but he wasn't going to make a hasty decision. Afterwards, Giovanna had engaged him in a sparring session in order for him to attempt to control his powers during a combat scenario. http://www.scribbld.com/users/burnwithlight/1827.html. He was pleased the progress, but knew it would still be some time before he was comfortable enough with his powers. Still, it had been a rewarding experience. He was pretty sure he could could consider Andrew and Giovanna friends, but he tried not to get too attached to the idea. Afterall, he wasn't there to make friends.

He was currently in the consulate lunchroom, sash on his shoulders. After the training session, he looked forward to simply sitting and having something to eat.

"He's passed the security screening at Xavier's, I've been able to confirm that much. I'll also have Giovanna here. Weapons screening is obviously hardly effective with mutants in many cases, but we'll try to be careful. I may not entirely agree with Xavier's methods, but their security in the past year has been excellent - I'll give him a lot more benefit of a doubt on that than I would if he was a stranger."

	"In the unlikely event that he becomes an immediate threat, I have a gift for making problems go away." True, if he takes them very far away, he's stuck there as well for the better part of an hour, but he's not eager to divulge that particular weakness to the newcomer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll leave that up to you, but I think you might wish to stick around. How else to outsiders learn, but by experiencing? Besides, your concerns are well founded. If Giovanna prefers, I'll take this meeting in transformed state, for greater safety." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Angelo is about to say something, when the timer on his phone goes off. He vanishes, returning a minute later wearing oven mitts and holding a tray of fruit tarts fresh from the oven. He smiles as he sets one before each person at the table. Giovanna's has chocolate drizzled on it.

"If it would be less stressful, I could show him around the city. It's an understandable amount of culture shock." Angelo nods to Sengai.

Oh, that's very obviously tempting from Giovanna's experession, but she suddenly pauses and, with a breath. shakes her head.

"If he's from Xavier's, he's expecting the big bad wolf. We've got a better chance of getting him to listen to reason if you're in your less intimidating form."
Pause. Smile. "I will still happily scare the life out of him if necessary, but if it's not, maybe he'll feel better ... ma foi, Angelo, that looks delicious."

	"An appreciated offer, Mr. Bennet, but.." Sengai indicates his eyes, that if one look close have a soft, constant glow to them. "This would only increase in proximity to the various forms of energy out there. I do not wish to cause an anti-mutant panic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cassidy waits downstairs while the receptionist calls up to see if he'll be admitted. He'd already called Uncle Scott to let him know that he'd made it safely to the Embassy.

He just hopes that this goes well. It would be nice to bring Izzy back here to see this place.

He holds his back-pack at his side and runs through a breathing exercise to calm himself, nothing the faint green outline of his containment suit beneath his black shirt.

	"Shall I escort him up?" Angelo inclines his head at Andrew. He'll give the Summers boy his fruit-tart. There are certainly worse first impressions to make. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Angelo beams, and teleports down to the front desk, thanking the receptionist, and stepping forward. "Good afternoon, Mr Summers? I'm Angelo Bennet. I'll be bringing you to meet... the other Mr Summers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gio takes a bite or two, then gets out of her chair to stand next to Andrew -- and slightly further away from Sengai as she lets her own energy build up a bit more. She wasn't going to insist on Andrew switching forms, but of course she'd want to do it easily in an emergency. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassidy is slightly started at the appearance of this new person, but he smiles at the same. He's a teleporter, just like Ellie, it seems. "Uh, hey. Nice to meet you. Call me Cassidy, please." he says, offering a hand to shake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrew waits calmly for Angelo to escort Cassidy upstairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Of course. Right this way, please."

Angelo, out of courtesy, has Cassidy take the elevator. Certain individuals find the teleportation process unpleasant. Also, there's no need to let him know he can take passengers, yet.

He leads him up to the lunch room, and walks over to the others. "Welcome to the Genoshan Consulate, Cassidy. May I offer you a fruit tart?" He gestures to the table.

	And Giovanna's immediately looking him over. She can see the outline under the shirt. That looks familiar... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cassidy nods to each person in the room when he enters, immediately focusing upon Andrew. He looks like the person in the picture he saw. He doesn't recognize the woman, or the man with the glowing eyes, but he assumes they're either bodyguards or other politicians.

He's really not sure what the answer is, but he meets all of their gazes evenly.

"Sure, I'll have a...fruit tart." he says.

"My name is Cassidy Summers. Good to meet all of you."

	Gio nods without taking her eyes off of him. "I'm Giovanna. You've met my brother Angelo. This is our other guest, Sengai." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassidy nods at Andrew. "Yes, we are. If my information is correct, and I got it from the source...you would be my older brother." Cassidy informs him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai nodded his head in greeting. His eyes sparked a bit at Cassidy's presence. It was different that most, it didn't hurt so much. Something about his powers must be different to ellicit such a reaction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Older brother? Well, that's quite the surprise. He would have thought his parents would know something of that... but then the Summers clan is weird. Stranger things have happened. Being a Summers, Cassidy making that kind of claim makes what he's saying more credible than some kind of more likely sounding connection if he was trying to get in good graces.

"Well... I'm curious about this source and how that happened, I'll admit."

	Gio just looks at him intensely. The outline.. it was a little like the old suit Andrew's father still kept in case of emergencies... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
