It's kind of like home.

Tony didn't spend an overly large amount of time at the Avenger's mansion these days. Not if he could help it. This was a special occasion, though. Today, he was going to introduce the kid to their new teacher. He suspected that many of them knew of her already, but proper introductions were only polite. Besides, he wanted to make sure They all knew to give her the proper respect. Anyone who gave her issues would answer to him and his primary methods of discipline were pay cuts and firing... nobody wanted that.

He waited with Kitty in the main living room at the mansion and waited for the kids to gather.

"No questions from me," Sarah said.

[mocking_you]

"I'm good," Susan said.

Vincent was about to have some retort to Jay's comment... and then Roxanne showed up. She's hurt. She's hurt and he can't do anything for her.

He looks positively like he wants to shrivel up in a corner.

"Nothing from me..." He says quietly in Kitty's direction.

[enduring_pryde]

She regarded Ms. Fury. "On an as-needed basis for SHIELD. I haven't been with the X-Men for over a decade. I'll be here three days a week. Two of those days for counseling, training, lessons, for whatever you guys need, and the third day by appointment. I will also be working at Mr. Stark's R&D."

She smiled reassuringly at Erin. "You don't have to worry about that. I can help you with what you are going through."

Kitty was watching the way the kids interacted with each other, how they arranged themselves, the looks that were going on between them.

"Adopted? I don't see why his parentage would be of any matter here." Tony didn't seem too happy, but Vincent's appearance wasn't one she was unfamiliar with. She wasn't here for just the good things, she was here for everything, warts and all.

[avengeriniron]

God help him, he was right in the middle of some sort of high school drama or something. It was a good thing Kitty was here, otherwise he'd be applying extra training sessions and pay cuts to the problem.

"I expect you'll all be on your best behavior and represent me and the Avengers with some amount of dignity. If you can't do that, I suggest you learn to fake it well."

"Well, I'm doomed," Jay commented to no one in particular. He got a small tug on his ear from Boo. He glanced around and then held out his arm a bit for the small creature to run down and land on SuuuuUUUUUuuusan's lap.

"I'm Jay, the resident Hulk. That's Boo, a miniature giant space hamster. Mostly harmless but has taken down an Asgardian before." The one being meek and quiet at the moment.

[asgardian_angel]

"Not this Asgardian," Nicky replied with a grin. "Niklas Thorson of Asgard, Ms. Pryde. Nicky Blake here on Earth. It's a pleasure."

[wateronthebrain]

"Erin Sterling," she offers with a friendly smile. She's trying her best to act nice. No need to be rude.

Also she forgot they got paid. This is good. Of course she's sure it's not going to put a dent in her shoe budget Dad lets her have but hey she can save up for a new purse.

She'll probably avoid mentioning the money thing as much as she can. She's fairly certain they'd treat her as slightly crazy for that.

"Roxanne Danvers," Roxie said with a small wave. "Most everyone just calls me Roxie," she added. "Codename Warbird."

The wound on her upper arm is nearly healed up by now.

[agent_timeout]

"Please call me Sam." Sammy smiled and shrugged. It never hurt to ask, even when you had the answer. People tripped up all the time. Just ask Dad how many stogies he smoked in a week.

[vincent_amora]

"Vincent Amorason, Runecaster, if you prefer." Vincent properly introduces himself to Kitty, trying to stand up a bit more straight.

[comic_awareness]

"Bruce Jones, Captain Marvel. Field leader," he said.

And only sane man, some days.

[american_dream]

"Sarah Rogers. Patriot."

[mocking_you]

"Susan Barton. Hawkette."

[enduring_pryde]

When they started the role call, Kitty looked at each of the students in turn. She had read their files so she already knew all of this already, but she liked former introductions. It helped to make things stick.

"As for me, here I'm Kitty and out in the field I'm Shadowcat." Dusting off the name she hadn't used in a long while. Longer than she would care to think about. But it felt good to say it again.

[comic_awareness]

"If you can survive Xaiver's, I think you'll fit in just find here, ma'am. I've heard my girlfriend's horror-stories."

[agent_timeout]

"We've all heard the horror stories. I still don't believe some of Uncle Logan's tales." More in the SHIELD files, but those were official. Uncle Logan's were told over poker games. "I answer to Fury in the field."

[wateronthebrain]

"Well boarding schools can get crazy on occasion," Erin says after a moment.

"Trust me. I've gone to one since I was like nine. But anyways. Doesn't matter to me what I'm called."

[vincent_amora]

"In the interest of disclosure, I should mention that my presence at the mansion is somewhat sporadic... I have work for Mister Stark, school, and I'm taking care of my sister."
