Time for Plan A
Madison had followed Rogue and the others back. Her steps were slow and her feet barely raised off the ground, her shuffling noise probably annoying those around her. By now it was really beginning to sink in, Connor was taken and Talia was in Madison's form so those that took her wanted herself, not Talia. Why did everyone want the Enright's? They were nothing special, other mutants out there were probably more interesting.
On the walk back through the outer grounds and gardens Madison had looked up to the clear blue sky, and asked why did these things have to happen? Sure, she wasn't the best person around, but she was sure there were others who were worse and needed punishment not her and defiantly not Connor! Looking back down from the heavens she could only hope that if deceased family did watch after you from up there that their mother would look after Connor wherever he was.
After making her way to the War Room she waited lifelessly as someone opened the door, not really paying much attention to who it was as another feeling sank in. Anger. How on earth could she have fallen for that spell or whatever that ugly demoness had put upon her? She thought she was stronger than that, and barely believed in magic.
Once she had made her way into the room she found herself a chair and almost collapsed into it. Madison didn't bother sitting up straight as she slouched forward and let her emotions flood her mind.
Madison: "How on earth did I fall for that?"
She said angrily, her teeth gritted together as she seemed to continue to curse herself for falling for 'Andrea' being a mutant. She was never going to let herself live it down, and if she was ever planing on making new friends with new students, well that was now out of the question. It was probably going to take an extra long time for trust to develop among her and newbies.
How could she have fallen for that? How could that have happened? Why did someone want Connor and her? What did they plan on doing with Talia when they found out that she wasn't Madison? There were too many questions, and little to nothing of answers. She raised her head slowly and looked up towards the others, the sadness, anger and everything else kept changing so her face didn't show to much of what she was thinking, although it wasn't hard for the others to guess what she was thinking...
Upon the arrival of Clarice and Angela, Jean shut the doors, glancing over at Rogue before settling her eyes on Madison's slumped form on one of the seats.
"We have someone who seems to have possibly been sent to capture you and your brother, he's in the lab with Tessa.. hopefully they'll return soon.." Jean took a seat across from Madison, knowing full well of her dislike of people mothering her when she was in this mood. She allowed Clarice and Angela to take seats beside her, placing her hands on the table and watching Madison carefully as she spoke.
"Our 'guest' seems to have been sent by the Agamemnon Corporation.." She informed the young Enright rather hesitantly, the last thing she wanted was Madison running off on her own to get her brother.
"I'm afraid I didn't hear much about him.. Rogue could you fill us in?" The telepath requested curiously as she glanced over at her old friend.
"Jubilee, we come into this world alone...and we leave the same way...the time we spend in between...time spent alive, sharing, learning...together...is all that makes life worth living."
With another burst of blue swirling smoke, the scent of brimstone having waved aside by Kurt with a flick of his hands, his tail slithering around behind him as he moved towards Jean and Rogue. The yellow orbs of his eyes looked around, seeing the three girls sitting on one side of the table, Angela and Clarice, plus Madison who sat between them.
"Madison.. I brought un old friend vith me." Kurt spoke softly, knowing how much pain she's already been through, now to go through the loss of her brother just a week after they where captured by the same company. Kurt looked over towards Jean, who had taken a seat opposite Madi, Kurt looked over towards Rogue, then motioned for Roz to take a seat, the blonde girl stood, offering Roz a seat beside Madison, Angela instead moving over one, all girls appearing very worried for Connor's safty. The pink skinned girl seemed very shy, Blink's daughter remaining as quiet as possible while people fussed over Madison's well being.

Re: Time for Plan A"We have someone who seems to have possibly been sent to capture you and your brother, he's in the lab with Tessa.. hopefully they'll return soon.." After watching Angela and Clarice sit down, Madison’s head quickly turned to Jean. Someone else had come to capture Connor and her, and they were just going to let Tessa bring whoever it was in her? What if it tried something on them once it saw Madison? Some of the people here weren’t thinking right, unless Jean had left out something…
"Our 'guest' seems to have been sent by the Agamemnon Corporation.." That name… it sounded familiar. Her eyes widened as she realised, they were the people who had already taken her and her brother before. They’d done enough to them both already, especially Connor, what did they want from the siblings now? Anger slowly became the dominant feeling inside the young mutants body.
"I'm afraid I didn't hear much about him.. Rogue could you fill us in?" Madison quickly turned her gaze from the telepathic teacher towards Rogue. Although she was angry, a desperate look escaped from her as she waited eagerly for Rogue to speak.
But before Rogue was allowed to speak, the familiar blue smoke and scent of brimstone that came from either her little step-sister or Kurt. As the smoke subsided it was clear that it was only Arisa’s older brother. Someone else had come with the blue fuzzy elf, the girl only too familiar to Madison.
"Madison.. I brought un old friend vith me." Rosalyn! A faint smile streaked through Madison’s face, although it didn’t show too much happiness, but it was the most joy seen on her for the past hour or so. There was almost a happy memory after every visit that she had to Roz’s when she was younger. Their father always seemed nicer when he was there, which always made her think that her father had changed, but once they got back home he went back to his usual self, Connor normally coming up with some excuse to explain why he was like that.
As her small smile faded she felt the sudden urge to tell her old friend everything that had happened since they last saw each other. She wanted to tell her about how her claws were no longer bone, and how Connor’s whole skeleton had been replaced with the same metal their father had to how she had been tricked into believing she had made a new friends by some magic spell and how that demon had taken Connor and Talia away. However when she tried to speak too much anger filled her, almost drowning out her voice. But Roz had to know, she was one of the family friends, Madison had to try and tell her.
Madison: "Roz… Connor was taken and so was this other girl, Talia. She can shapeshift and was in the form of my body when she was taken… It was by some company who had already gotten to Connor and I just over a week ago... While we were there they gave us an ‘upgrade’…"
She blurted out only a small piece of the information that she wanted to say but if she said it all she probably would have spoken more faster and her words would either by too much to take in or not understood at all, anger still seeming dominant in her voice. As she finished speaking she raised her right hand, releasing her claws to show what their upgrade really was. Her newly adamantinum claws reflecting the light coming from the ceiling as Madison stared rather blankly as them.
Re: Time for Plan A
Roz smiled when she saw Madison and she just wanted to run over and hug her and tell her everything, how she lost her "V" card, how her father and mother were trying to have another child, but Roz convinced them to keep her as their only baby, how she met her boyfriend, how she became interested in speed racing, how she got into her last fight with her arch rival before she left...she had so much to tell and by the look on Madison's face she had to tell a lot too. Rosalyn stepped from behind Nightcrawler and looked at Madison, she had grown up a lot, but then so had Rosalyn. She looked like a beautiful version of her father without the rough look and the hair.
"Connor was taken? Is he back, did you find him? I am helping whatever it is...I can't just leave Connor hanging like that if he is in some kind of trouble," said Roz.
When she saw Jean Grey, she smiled, she had heard of the woman and had only seen her briefly. The woman wasn't on Jubilee's list of favorite people therefore Roz knew little about her. Rosalyn was caught off guard when she saw Madison's claws.
"Oh, they're not bone anymore!" said Roz.

Re: Time for Plan A
The new arrival and Madison's newsflash were just a little quicker than Rogue. Closing her mouth again, the southern belle flashed a small smile at Kurt and Rosalyn and waited for everybody to take their seats before turning to Jean.
"I don't know much about him either... seems to be able to shapeshift as well and... well, quite a weirdo, if you wanna hear my opinion. He kinda behaved as if it was his first day on earth..."
Rogue's facial expression made clear she was sorry to have so little information to give.
"Maybe Tink's gonna be of more help, she's got that lil' somethin' it takes to get people talkin'" Life can be like a stone thrown in the sea. It creates waves, maybe changing something, maybe not, but no matter what it causes, every single wave will disappear into nowhere...

Re: Time for Plan A"Connor was taken? Is he back, did you find him? I am helping whatever it is...I can't just leave Connor hanging like that if he is in some kind of trouble," The good thing about Roz was her strong personality, so if this who planning session was going to take too long and finally come up with nothing Madison was sure that the two of them would be able to do something. Who cares if it got them into trouble and danger, Connor was her brother and Roz’s friend!
Madison was still starring at her claws as Roz commented on them. She nodded slowly as her form of reply, they were no longer bone and were going to stay like that forever. Although she’d had them for over a week, they still felt that little bit heavier, however she wasn’t going to let anyone else know that.
"I don't know much about him either... seems to be able to shapeshift as well and... well, quite a weirdo, if you wanna hear my opinion. He kinda behaved as if it was his first day on earth..." Madison allowed her claws to slide back under her skin as she heard Rogue talk to Jean and listened in on what was said. Was this the guy who had possibly come for Connor and herself? But everyone else that seemed to work for that place seemed strong and didn’t seem to act as if it was their first day on earth. She still had her eyes fixed upon her hand as she watched it slowly heal, not as fast as either her father or brother’s but faster than many others would.
Madison wanted to talk, about anything, while the older X-Men talked through their plans. She wasn’t feeling herself and if she talked about something other than the situation at hand she wouldn’t have to think about it. And if that happened maybe she’d start feeling herself again and be able to think properly.
Madison: “So Roz, what have you been up to?”
She asked, turning her gaze away from her healed hands and over to her friend and waited her to talk about her life’s recent events. Madi didn’t care wether or not others thought the question may be inappropriate for this moment, she just wanted to feel her normal self.
Re: Time for Plan A
It was hard, Angela didn't really have anything to contribute to this meeting, it was difficult because it's been three years and she still felt like she didn't belong as part of the team. Probably she was feeling more left out because of her friend, Riley Finn, who had so recently disappeared from the face of her eath. Which Angela, along with Dawn and Lisa, amongst others, was not at all pleased about discovering. And she was probably one of the few who knew that Riley's family thought he was dead all this time he's been at the school. First those vampires attack the school, then everyone disappears off into that other dimension, then they come back and Riley disappears, and now a week later Connor disappears, everyone keeps disappearing on her!
Her bright eyes peered over towards Madison and Roz as they talked, slowly Angela stood to her feet, looking over towards Rogue and then back at Jean. She really didn't want to stay here, not now, she didn't want to be part of any team, she couldn't even take care of her team leader and now she couldn't help Connor who had helped give her Troy, Angela's beloved pet puppy.
"Madison, when we're off to get you're brother, I'll do my best to help out, call me when we have more information and are ready to go." She knew it wasn't right to just walk out, but Angela really wasn't in any mood to stick around, she looked over towards Rogue and then guiltily down towards the ground. She knew the teachers wouldn't stop her from leaving, but she still felt bad just walking out like this, the elemental absorbtion mutant couldn't help but wonder what she might be doing now if she was still in Australia..
Re: Time for Plan A
Roz heard Madison's question and she turned from Rogue and Jean to face the girl. She put her hand in her purse to look for some candy and when she couldn't find none she sighed and then looked back at Madison.
"Well, gurl, nothing really just riding life wherever the h311 it takes me. No, I have been busy with school, and then I got into car racing! That is some fun stuff...I will have to take you one day. I won three mini-championships, and then on another I took home the silver cup for the state tournament. Next month, or the month after that, I forget, I will be going to the national championship, and I think I have a good chance of winning," she said smiling proudly.

Re: Time for Plan A"Madison, when we're off to get you're brother, I'll do my best to help out, call me when we have more information and are ready to go." Although she was looking at Roz she nodded to what Angela had said. She’d be sure to tell the absorption mutant before they left… if they ever left!
"Well, gurl, nothing really just riding life wherever the h311 it takes me. No, I have been busy with school, and then I got into car racing! That is some fun stuff...I will have to take you one day. I won three mini-championships, and then on another I took home the silver cup for the state tournament. Next month, or the month after that, I forget, I will be going to the national championship, and I think I have a good chance of winning," Madison smiled feeling proud for her friend, maybe she would take up the offer of going in a car with Roz and she’d even try and get to the National Championships if she could. Madison herself had had a few driving lessons but cars and her didn’t really click together like they did with almost everyone else, so she hadn’t been behind the wheel for a while now.
Next Madison made the mistake of looking away from her friend and around the room, her eyes seeing the teachers in the room as well as Clarice, reminding her of what they were really in the room for… Her brother, and Talia, had been kidnapped and what was she doing in her? Sitting down doing nothing! Even the teachers weren’t doing much, weren’t they supposed to help out? Try and save Talia and Connor? Good teachers they were, they may as well be in the dining room having coffee!
Just moments ago Madison seemed rather calm, distracted by what Roz had been through recently… but now she was feeling angry again, there was no time to feel sorry for herself for falling under the demons spell. She had to do something, she couldn’t leave the two mutants to be harmed, like her and her brother were on their last visit to Agamemnon Corporation.
Madison: "Why aren’t we doing anything?!"
Her rather loud voice was riddled with anger as she glared towards the teachers. Seriously they were no help, maybe she’d have to take things into her own hands, she had absorbed the enhanced senses that her brother had, so if she picked up his scent she could follow it, right? If she could fin it... She avoided eye contact with both Roz and Clarice, both probably knew about her temper since she’d had it all of her life, besides it wasn’t their fault that they were sitting around doing nothing.
Madison almost jumped out of her chair, pushing it backwards as she did so. There was no use in staying in here anymore, not with the teachers doing less than statues. It couldn’t be that hard to find the Agamemnon Corporation, could it? Well, sure it would be, but it would take a while for that fact to sink into Madison’s head. She shook her head, almost wearing a look of disgust towards the teachers before storming out of the room, slamming the door behind her…
Re: Time for Plan A
Roz saw Madison get up suddenly and leave out of the room. She knew that the girl was obviously pissed off about the older people just sitting around. Rosalyn looked at them and rolled her eyes. She ran out the door behind Madison. She was going to help her find her brother if it was the last thing she did...
The telepath stood up instantly at Madison's outburst, surely she remembered they where waiting for the creature who had attacked Tessa, he was going to help them.. somehow.. She frowned when Roz disappeared after Madi and hurried after them, they'd go running into this blindly.. she had a bad feeling about it. Throwing Rogue a single glance before disappearing out into the halls and rushing after the girls, if there was one thing to be said, it was that this would end one of two ways.. Good.. or Bad. Kurt hurried after them, he wasn't going to let Roz come and then jump off into danger on her own, what would her mother say!?
Jean's brisk walk enabled her to catch up between the two girls, he didn't say anything, or even glance at them, it wasn't like she enjoyed staying locked away waiting for others to arrive when people she cared about where missing. If she had been in Madison's place.. and Scott had been taken, Jean wouldn't have returned to the school, let alone waited this long in the War Room.
"Jarod, this is Jean, would you please meet us in the Hanger, we could use your assistance." Her telepathic message was sent to the young Xavier, who was in the kitchen amusing himself with the many different things the people in this school eat.
"The Hanger's down this way, Kurt, prepare the Jet." There was a BAMF as Nightcrawler teleported ahead, Jean guiding the girls down towards hanger.. how was this going to work? Hopefully Rogue would bring others to help back them up..
"Jubilee, we come into this world alone...and we leave the same way...the time we spend in between...time spent alive, sharing, learning...together...is all that makes life worth living."

Re: Time for Plan A
After leaving through the doors she heard someone follow after her, looking back she realised that it was only Roz, she didn’t mind that her friend had followed after, she knew that Roz would be able to help, although she wasn’t quite sure of how they were going to it all off. Maybe she should have stayed with the others… But then again, they weren’t helping. She’d rather go out there and fail and be captured herself to sitting around doing nothing, who knows what the people of that strange place have done to Connor and Talia already.
Then seeing Jean come up from behind her, and mention something about the hanger… They were going to go and rescue the two captive mutants of Agamemnon Corporation? About time! While speeding up her pace a little she looked to Roz beside her, a rather smug look upon her face, storming out like that may not always be the best way to give things a move on, but it had worked this time, and that was all that mattered.
