Boule D'incertitude

[nohoundsallowed]

Rachel had been busy covering various things inside and outside the mansion after Xavier's was outed as a school for mutants. There was an ever-present pack of media outside the gates, but she had gotten good at ignoring why they were there. Though she still tried to make what parts of daily life she was a part of on campus run as smooth as it normally did.

She had a small, portable television in her shared quarters with her husband. She had stopped in the room to take a few minutes to relax and then check up on any news reports. She wasn't paying the news much mind until the mention of a mutant porno came up.

She turned her head to see censored images take from a video of Aiden... and her baby sister having sex. A shelf cracked off to her right as Rachel stared at the TV. Then the TV lifted up and hurtled toward the door. The door barely opened in time to let the set smash into the far wall of the hallway. Then the door slammed shut.

"I'm going to kill someone..."

Rachel ran a hand over her face and let out a deep breath.

"I should call Sara." She paused. "Possibly after I've calmed down."

She wasn't calm at the moment. Either way Ray would get in touch with her sister was likely to leave the younger with a headache.

"Someone should make sure Kurt and Rogue don't head to New Jersey."

"You should," he agreed. "And I'm concerned about the security at their home if there's video from it."

He frowned. "...Yeah. That could be... bad."

"I should also stay away from Brooke. She says the wrong thing, and I'll send her through a couple walls." Which would be very detrimental to the therapy Rachel was trying to give Brooke.

She looked down at the stuff spilled on the floor. "Whoever messed with my baby sister is going to regret it."

He pulled her into a hug. "We'll get this figured out. And then we'll kick ass. We're X-Men. It's what we do."

She leaned against Doug and closed her eyes. It would be better for everybody if she was centered. Or at least calmer. In Doug's arms seemed the place to do it.

"I'm going to pop the bloat's eyes out if he had anything to do with it." That wasn't a calm sentiment, but Rachel relaxed a bit against Doug.

Doug held his wife tightly. He had little love for Mojo either, not after what he had put his friends through on more than one occasion. But the problem with Mojo was that he always returned and that he truly was the power in his dimension.

"I'll lay odds that he did."

"If only we didn't need Spiral to get to him," Ray mumbled wistfully. There was no other way that she knew of to get through the Wildways to Mojoworld.

She leaned against Doug for some long moments before taking a deep breath and straightening up. She kissed her husband's cheek.

"Thank you."

[talk_to_you]

He gave her a small smile. "Hey. What are husbands for?"

[nohoundsallowed]

"Occasionally holding me together and fantastic sex. You do both." She smirked a little.

"However, the latter later. I need to talk to Sara." She gave him a quick hug. "You might want to make sure Rogue and Kurt are still around. I can warn the New Mutants if they're not."

"I am good at both of those things," Doug agreed with a silly grin.

He nodded. "I'll double check. Pretty sure they both have classes right now, but I'll have a look."
