Amber looked at Dr McCoy, shocked at his reaction.
"Mr McCoy? Pete was just trying to help, I don't think calling him foolish was necessary." before she realised she blurted out the words "If anyone was being foolish it was you and Logan. Rolling around the floor wrasslin' like a coupla high school kids"
Half embarassed, half surprised at her own outburst, she turned and headed out to the back gardens, pushing past some of the kids that were still gawping at Logan and Beast.

"She's right." Ashleygh muttered. Looking away from her father, the slightly feral part of her, which she had inherited from her parents, made her growl at the students. "There's nothing to see here."

Amber walked out to the doorway facing the large, sprawling back gardens. She wanted to scream, but kept it inside. "Why are they fighting?" she thought, completely confused and shocked by there behaviour.
Hearing more raised voices Amber turned her head to look over her shoulders. Most of the students were still there, gawking. She shook her head and walked out and down the steps into the main garden area. No-one seemed to be around, she was relieved. Not wanting anyone to see her like this.
The more she thought about what was going on inside, the more frustrated she became. She hated fighting and arguing, it reminded her of her step-father. Without even realising it the memory triggered off her power and her hands began to glow and give off it's fire like effect.
"No...not now." Amber spoke with a fearful tone, desperately concentrating on trying to power down. "please, please no" she began rubbing at her hands in another attempt to put out the power. It was futile, for the more stressed she became the harder it was to control it and before she realised her entire body was now wreathed in the deep orange glow.

Piotr got a headache tring to decide who to listen to.
Before he knew what he was doing he lost his cool in an uncontrollable rage and picked both the men up off the ground
" Stop fighting!" he yelled indignatly.
" Fighting is for the week who can't control their emotions!" he gasped as he remebered what his sister had said.
" You BOTH are supposed to be role models! Not dorks that role around on the floor fighting al day! This isn't what Xavier wants!" he set them both down abruptly sliding them across the long hallways after letting out a strand of Russian curse words.
As he walked out side he didn't change back into his skin form for the fear of Logan attacking him from behind , which he wouldn't put past him, but rather he stood in the wind his face wrentched iof emotions.

Piotr jumped as high as his heavy metal fram would let him.
"Wh...Oh it just ...you." he stared at Warren.
Piotr didn't know the young man to well. Nobody really did for the fact that he didn't talk that often.
Piotr changed back into his skin form flezing his arms to loosen the tight muscles.
" I hope Amber's ok," he suddenly mumbled," She looked upset."

Wanda sat in the back of the car, her bag close at her feet. She stayed silent throughout the journey, having no real inclination to speak to anyone. Choosing instead to retreat into her own thoughts, her own world. Leaning her head on the window, Wanda looked out as the car drove on.

----------------------------------------

Amber began to feel herself rise off the ground. She normally enjoyed the sensation of flight, but this time she felt uncomfortable, disoriented. She looked into the blue sky and considered just letting her power take her away, anywhere but here.
After the confrontation with the Brotherhood and Phoenix at Alcatraz, everyone seemed so off, so different, including herself.
