Quinn had been a couch slug since the World Cup started. He slept, ate and breathed football since the opening game. It was only his favorite sport and he watched it whenever he could. He remembered his father taking him to Manchester United games for as long as he could remember. It was one of the few father/son bonding times he had with his dad.

Today he was in his boxers and stretched out on the couch. He had a six pack of beer, a plate full of fish and chips and a bag of crisps. He was set for the game.

Now to sit back and watch Greece play Argentina.

It had been a looong few weeks for Sophie. She had returned to the states and her home at the school to tell her parents she was joining a team in europe. There is no way I am allowing my teenage daughter to go live in some country with a group of men I have never met! Sophie had mentioned that her mother did know a few of these people, including some of the guys but it was still a battle. Her father was not by any means alright with the situation, but knew Sophie well enough that she had to do it.

She also told them about not getting into RISD, and her mother stated that she was running away from her problems. Sure the failure had been one of the things that sent her to help out in the first place, but already Sophie loved these people. They were all real down to earth people, that liked her as she was. Granted they could do without the power surges but they liked her non the less.

Having won the fight with some of her fathers help, Sophie was back on the other side of the pond ready to see a welcoming face.

Quinn opened a portal and brought them all to Limbo.

They arrived in Limbo on what was a plain that stretched out in front of a castle. Nothing grew on the plain. It was dirt and rocks for as far as the eye could see. Demons moved about in the distance and along the battlements of the castle. For now they didn't notice the newcomers.

Quinn stepped out of the portal and looked around. Avalon was almost a reflection of England on Earth, but there were still many differences. The inhabitants were much different and the cities were gone. Quinn looked at his fellow...teammates or just companions? He didn't know and at this point he didn't care much.

"Stay close. I'm going to teleport us to a spot just outside of Morgan's castle. Once we get there, expect resistance." He wasn't quite sure if Morgan was responsible for destroying Braddock Manor, but his gut told him it was her. He had sensed the residue from a portal to Avalon and this Morgan could have as much animosity toward Captain Britain as the Morgan he knew. A part of him wondered if it was the same Morgan and if this was the same Otherworld.

The half moon was hazy behind high cirrus clouds and the air had a slight chill to it. The night around Braddock Manor was still and quiet, but it wouldn't last. A portal opened and demons poured out along with the stench of brimstone. They headed directly for the manor house.

Ripples of magic spread out from the center. Fire cut through the darkness. Demonic screams and roars shattered the silence.

When it was over Braddock Manor lay in smoldering ruins and there were no signs of the residents.

Deciding to skip out on homework, Sophie grabbed her camera and headed downstairs in search of anyone. People were fun to shoot, especially when they were unafraid of looking silly. Lyta had modeled once for her, beauty shots of Lyta’s profile and such. Some of them had actually been part of the portfolio she had sent to RISD. She practically skipped down the stairs in search of anyone willing to let her turn them into art.

Sophie was not a true fan of the dreaded Valentines Day. Granted she had never had a true valentine, but she had her reasons not to like it. Besides not having a valentine, Sophie just hated how extra lovey dovey her parents were. There was only so much parental unit pda a kid could take and her parents over did it every year. So Sophie spent her free time away from homework and engrossed herself in her newest paperback find. Folding back the cover she began to read.

soothsayer:

He didn't like what had happened to the school. He had decided to go through with the outing anyways. This would be to help the students out. He had two vans ready to go with a third one if they had anyone else show up who wanted to get out. He has a clip board in one hand and a pen in the other.

Some people might notice that his shoes aren't normal sneakers. He had been wearing the ones that had a leg brace build in for one of his legs. Sometimes when he was more stressed out Ezekiel found it more difficult to use one leg so he had a brace for times like that. He didn't need a cane or anything, so long as he had a brace he would be fine.

He glances at his watch and leans against one of the vans. He would check off names and add any more to his lists. He had a feeling that there would be more people coming and he was prepared just in case. Good thing he had plenty of older students coming too.

Sophie found herself in the backyard of the mansion, in a white and yellow party dress that looked like it belonged to a six year old. Looking down at it she noticed the white patent leather Mary Jane shoes she was wearing with little frilly socks. “What the heck?” she asked herself as she looked around the yard. The yard looked like a set up for a kiddy party, with pony rides and clowns….

 

……. Clowns making balloon animals…......

 

Sophie tried to make her way to her parents who were helping with the food tables but the balloon animal guy came up to her. “Hey little lady, what kind of animal would you like?” he asked as he pulled out a yellow balloon and began to shape it.

 

“No.” Sophie whispered to herself. “No, no, no, no, no……”

soothsayer:

The newest staffer at Xavier's had been trying to figure out how to get to know the students better without scaring them off since his truth telling ability did tend to get in the way of things. That was when he thought back on the last weekend he had with his son no matter how much the kid seemed to hate him he at least had fun with his old man. Ezekiel smirks and taps his chin thoughtfully before setting up a sign up sheet to post in the recreation rooms.

Laser Tag!

Sign up for a night of laser tag and pizza. This is for fun guys. Any questions can be directed to Ezekiel Brooks. We'll be leaving at 5:30 expect to be back by 10 at the latest.

Ezekiel gives himself a proud mental pat on his back and then sets about correcting papers in a corner as h casually pretends to not notice if anyone looks at the sign up sheet.

Aaron drove his car, a 6 year old blue Jeep Wrangler, up the driveway to the Xavier’s, after 3 days of driving he was finally back. He was tired and was glad to be back. Aaron parked the car in the garage and got out of the car. Opening the door to go inside Aaron prepared to deal with the welcome crew the manor always had whenever someone came to the manor.
