Young Warriors - Are we ready?
Connor stormed down the halls, pushing his way past any student that tried to pull him aside and ask questions about his recent ordeal.
He wasn't sure he could handle this pressure!
Leading a team of wonnabees? Taking charge of the situation like his seen his father do so many times, he couldn't do it, not now! Not after a man just sacrificed his own life to save him.
Connor couldn't even protect his sister, how on earth was he supposed to protect an entire team!? This wasn't right! This was wrong, someone else should be in charge, Clay, or even Nalani! But not him!
He paced to the end of the hall, left or right? He couldn't even choose which direction he wanted to go in! He'd lead all of those students into trouble, danger and then someone else would have to be hurt to help get them out of the danger he got them into.
Was he panicing? Why where his hands shaking?
His heart began to race, the more he thought over the role he was given the more worried he grew, 24 hours ago he would have jumped for joy at this chance, but that was before..before they..
His eyes peered down at his hands, he shouldn't be trusted with the lives of others, he'd only get them hurt..
The sheer pain that rippled across his hands caused Connor to cring as his new metalic claws slice threw his knuckles, in a quick attempt to hide them from sight, he accidently slices the back of his right hand.
Focusing hard he manages to retract them, a slight groan growls in his throat as his skin begins to heal, leaving not even a mark for evidence that he was hurt.
..How could Xavier think of trusting all those lives under his command?

(Well I've got some characters floating around so I might as well continue)
Tessa walked down the hallway quickly, eager to get back to her dorm after having had a strange conversation with an old friend. She noticed Connor almost instantly and put on her sunny smile that hid what was just beneath the surface as she came towards him.
"Hi Connor," the faerie said brightly but she noticed instantly that something was wrong. "Hey you don't look so well. Are you okay? I mean it might be best if you go back to the med lab if you need more rest," Tessa said, always the nuturing type. With a flash of brief lonliness and pain she wondered if it was a natural faerie thing. She hadn't found out yet though and might never get the chance to at this rate. Her problems were secondary though and she turned her attention to him.
Re: Young Warriors - Are we ready?
The soft voice of the faerie brought Connor out of his thoughts and he looked up at her concerned face. Giving her a weak nod of his head he couldn't even muster up a fake smile.
Connor:"I don't need more rest.."
He finally managed to say in hopes of easing her worry.
Connor:"I was just....thinking over what happend today."
It wasn't the whole truth, but it was close enough, Tessa hadn't been out on the mission, she didn't know....she couldn't know what happend..
Connor:"...I just...I don't think..."
He couldn't bring himself to look at her, he didn't want anyone to see him like this, he just wanted to disappear for a while.
Connor:"Xavier thinks so highly of us Tessa, he wants us to go out there and fight, I don't think....I'm not sure I'm ready for that."
Without realizing it he was rubbing his fingers across his knuckles, but he quickly took in a deep breath and tried to put on a brave face.
Connor:"Xavier's holding a meeting soon, we should gather in the front hall.."
Only once he changed the subject was Connor able to look up into Tessa's eyes.

some conversation piece... but who asked for it?
„Hey, wassup?“ A large cup of water and a glass in the hands, Aran walked up to them.
„I've just been in the kitchen and on my way out to the grounds again, anyone who wants to join in? Water and sunshine and the day is...“ he started his speech but tilted his head raising an eyebrow seeing Connor's look.
„Bad timing“ , Dryad stated brushing through his green-black hair.
*You could appear just more like a bimbo if you made some silly joke!* , he thought sarcastically.

Re: some conversation piece... but who asked for it?
(OOC: If you mean she doesn't know about the claws I thought I'd remind you just in case you didn't know that Tessa does know. She came to the med bay to check on Madison and got the whole story)
Tessa sighed as she saw Aran approach and as he spoke. They had been fairly good friends but this just wasn't the time for that.
"Yah we were just on our way actually. If Connor doesn't mind I'm sure you can come with," Tessa said, dropping the subject of Connor's health with Dryad around. She had the feeling this wasn't something he wanted to share with the world.
"He said a meeting was called, all students and X-men so it must be something important," the Faerie finished, putting on a bright smile to hide her concern. "We'd better get going or we'll have Storm and Wolverine on our backs."

re
"Ok, we really shouldn't get too late" Aran'kla agreed speeding towards the front hall.
Having the strong feeling, he had just interrupted a private conversation, he put some space between him and the other two...
Re: re
(ooc- Actually..*Soulda ben more descriptive* Sorry, I ment about just what happend in general as in what he went threw, the pain, and the "death" of Cole who tried to save them)
Watching Aran move ahead just caused Connor to give a small sigh, he followed along quietly, causing an uncomfortable silence.
