Driveway

[Kitty]

A sign upon the massive entrance gate reads:

Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters.

The gates are open, allowing the paved driveway access the the magnificent mansion that is home to a privileged few.

In front of the gates of the X-men Mansion stood a certain pyromaniac mutant, looking thoughtful inside to the great Mansion ahead.

Last time Pyro had come here it hadn’t been all too welcoming, and in all fairness he doubted that he’d be much more welcome now.
But right now he wasn’t there as Pyro, he was there as St.John. He wasn’t wearing his usually Accolyte uniform, no protective red and orange suit, no flame throwers, just plain old civilian clothes.
John wore a simple black pair of jeans and bright red T-shirt, red sneakers and his red hair flaming on the top of his head.
He had guessed that if he dressed casual and not all armed he’d probably lure less attention and there was the possibility that he would actually reach his goal in the Mansion without having to fight his way in.

St.John was absentmindedly clicking a Zippo on and off in his pocket as he let the flame harmlessly dance in his pocket. He might not have been planning a fight but he was still his crazy pyromaniac self, he hadn’t been able to resist and at least bring a little ‘defence’ along.

After another moment of consideration John pulled his shoulders as he walked past the gate. He wasn’t breaking any rules as the gate was wide open anyway.
Pyro looked around as he walked on the long driveway towards the Mansion. Maybe some of the younger students wouldn’t recognise him and he could walk around without too much trouble to find just what, or rather who, he was looking for.

((OOC: Sorry it took so long for me to post but I got a very busy period with the school starting again and everything, but I’m all ready to start now.))

[Hank]

Hank was taking a relaxing stroll through the gardens, enjoying the little peace and quiet that mornings provided, when he noticed Pyro, dressed in normal clothes, leaning against the gate. Well, there goes the morning, he thought to himself. Brushing leaves from his blue fur, he decided to at least try to talk to Pyro. "Hello there! What brings you to our fine estate this morning?"

Pyro had been looking at the large collection of cars, the X-Men had on there driveway ahead, with a certain facination. The big X bogo certainly spoiled his charges. Too bad Magneto usually hadn't had that kind of class.

When spoken to Pyro quickly turned his attention at the mutant nearing him as he looked at the large blue man a tad confused.
"Oi mate ya're a big ol' blue kangaroo."He exclaimed while looking at Hank. Wait...He had seen him a few times but he didn't remember much about him though.

After the needed few minutes to proces the question the 'big blue kangaroo' had asked him Pyro broke out in a grin. "Oi'm lookin' foar Rems." The red head said as if it was the most normal of things to just walk in at your enemies base.

[Hank]

Hank was about to correct the boy, as he was definetly NOT a kangaroo, when Pyro mentioned Remy. Thinking back on it, Hank remembered seeing him down by the danger room... Which probably meant that Remy was a part of Logan's interesting new program. That thought drew out a chuckle, and an inquisitive glance from Pyro.

(( I recommend reading the danger room thread, my post'll make more sense afterward))

(I did ages ago and I know)

Pyro rose an eyebrow. What was so funny? Those X-geeks were strange allright. Maybe he had to talk slowwith the X folk for them to understadn him? He was used talking to Rems and Piotr, they rarely had trouble understanding what the crazy pyromaniac wanted or meant.
"So what bout it maty? have yoi seen Gambit?" Pyro tried again. "Or good old Piotr maybe? Ya know big ol' Soviet mate? I nevah go how he cou'd stand da cold so well, oi was freezing is Mags base." The read head mutant rambled on.

[Hank]

"Well, Remy came through a while ago, and I believe he headed to the Danger Room with Scott, Jean, and Kitty. Logan had a new program he wanted to test out. As for Piotr, I've never heard of him. I can, however, take you on a tour of the Mansion, if you'd like." Hank was willing to give the boy a chance to behave, and the tour would give him an excuse to keep an eye on him.

"Ah so Rems really did join the X? Oi bet it was fer his Shiela." Pyro mused thoughtful. "Da Rogue shiela ya know." He said before blinking. "Oi thought Piotr joined ya X's too. Ya know giant Russian guy. Collosum, he goes all steel and stuff and hard." Pyro motioned with excitement. "He was forced in doi Acolyte by ol' Mags. Nasty buisness really." The Aussie said thoughtful before he gave the mutant in front of him a slightly surprised look. Wow those X-Men were really trusty and stuff. But it would make it easy getting a hold of good ol' Rems.

"That would be awsome mate." He added with a grin. "Ya X's have fancy rides."

[Hank]

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I think that was the reason Remy gave the Professor to allow him to stay... Piotr, however, I haven't seen yet, but he is more than welcome to join us if he wishes." Hank thought a moment, then hesitantly added, "As for our cars, you're more than welcome to take one for a spin, after the tour."

[flox]

"And on what reason is good ol' sly Rems staying?" Pyro snorted. Piotr had always been a good guy at hard. He had greatly disliked fighting the X-Men. He had always claimed he just wanted to go back to Russia with his family , though John was convince he had considered joining the X-men.

However Gambit was a completely different case. He couldn't grasp just why the thief had decided to join the X's. He had always been a thief and proud of his sly tricks and mischieve and certainly not shunning a little fight now and then, without really needing a good reason. So why did he join the X-men? Was he planning to robb them right in front of their face? Or was he really considering to join them? Remy had his mutation completely in hand so it wasn't as if he needed there help or anything anyway.

John scratched his head. The Acolyte splitting up had been a strange thing. Sure none of them had been following Magneto out of 100% free will or devotion but it hadn't been that bad. They had had their fun times. Yet now it was just good ol' Pyro sitting at the base alone. He couldn't stand it anymore he was going bored out of his skull, he wanted to hear what exactly his old friends and team mates were up to.

And then on top of that these X-Men really confused him. The blue Kangaroo guy had just offered him he could take one of their cars for a spin. Now much stranger could they get.

"Uhm Sure mate." Pyro scratched the back of his head. "Tour now righto?" Did the giant smurf think that John was considering to ask to stay too? He would never do that, he was way too much of a cray Pyromaniac for that probably.

[Hank]

"Yes, well, I must admit, no one but the Professor and Rogue really trusts Remy yet. Anyways, lets head inside."
