The Professor smiles as the students enter his classroom. He waits as they all take their seats. While waiting for the class to get themselves sorted, he goes over to the window. The sun is dazzling against the pure blue sky. Not a cloud to be seen. He sees a couple of birds fly past, their forms just silhouettes. He smiles, they had been waiting months for a day like today.
After a while, he notices a air of confusion around the class. He turns, looking embarrassed, ready to apologise and start the lesson. But he quickly discovers it is not him the students are looking at. Why could he not sense it? Puzzled, he looks toward the open door. Wasn't is closed before? He looks around the class, no one has left, and he can't see or sense anyone new.

Post by Anna Marie / Rogue on Feb 17, 2012 9:55:02 GMT
Rogue enters the classroom. She is one of the last, and hangs back to let a couple of boisterous lads through. She flinches back as one of them gets too close to her skin. Pressing herself against the door, she finds an empty seat at the back of the class and sits down, looking around her. She notices the lads, over the other side of the room, laughing and play-fighting, there is a girl at the desk infront of her doing make-up, and the Professor at the window. He is the one Rogue takes most interest in. He seems so calm and serene, just watching the birds in the sky, in the warm glow of the sun, rays pouring in through the window.
While wondering what he is thinking, a cold shiver runs down Rogues' back. Spinning round, she sees the door slowly open. Getting up to see what it is, she gasps to find nothing. But the door handle turned... hadn't it? Turning back to the Professor, who is now staring at her along with the rest of the students, she wants to tell him, but her thoughts stop short when she sees the sky outside. Black storm clouds were making their way quickly across the sky, hiding the sun from view. The manor was thrown into darkness, thunder billowing in the distance. What was going on?

Xavier looks at Rogue. The thoughts racing through her mind confuse and startle him. He can't work any of them out, can't make sense of anything. As the shadows pour through the window, Xavier excuses himself, a worried look on his face.
"CLASS DISMISSED." He yells as he wheels himself out of the room. The storm clouds are turning to rain. Thunder getting louder with lightning forking its way across the nearly black sky. The clouds, the door, only one name comes to mind. But why him? What reason has he got to come to the manor?
A few minutes later he arrives at Cerebro, a computer that multiplies his abilities, allowing Xavier to find any one, mutant or human, anywhere in the world. He wheels himself to the desk and puts on the headset. Trying his hardest, he searches for Magneto or anyone who would be likely to have come with him. He is not concentrating and is unable to come up with anything. Xavier freezes when he hears screaming and crashing from upstairs. He races to find Scott, Jean and the others before it is too late...
