"No... I don't mind at all, but I don't want to make you do anything that will make you uncomfortable... we can go somewhere else if you'd like. I can even fly us there, but if you don't mind then I will follow along...." He said sincerely....

"Hmm..." She studied Calvin for a moment the dropped down into the man hole. Once down she waited on him. "I'm not gonna take ya all the way to my place. But there is an old meeting room we can use close by." She took off down the tunnel on her left. The darkness swallowing her. Her foot steps echoed off the stone and concrete walls. After about a mile and a half she entered into a semi well lit room. It had milk crates stacked in various places as chairs and tables. She walked over to one set, it had a piece of ply wood laid across boxes to make a table. There she set her food down. "Well, this is home." She said it a bit snidely, but also with an odd sense of pride, while motioning around the large room.

"Very nice..." he said while looking around the room and sitting down, "I hope the food is ok... I am not too sure of my paents cooking abilities...." He laughed a bit while he set his bag down beside him.... after a short pause, he asked, "so how long have you been down here?"

Sarah pulled the wrap off the plate of food and began eating one of the sausages. "It's fine... thanks. Much better than I what I normally scrounge up." She grins. "I don't think you'd guess it, but its hard ta cook down here." Lame Sarah... bad jokes don't help. She couldn't help it though, she was so unuse to being around people who would hold civil conversations with her that she was a bit rusty at making small talk.
"Eh, well I've been down here on and off. This time around a year I guess. I was with Weapon X and before that the X-Men... neither worked out to well." She laughs, rolling her eyes. "I bet I'm the last one anyone ever thought would begin to get sick of being a killer. Weapon X got carried away, I made a run for it. They weren't happy, but they haven't shown up to bother me for a few months. I figure I'm not worth it to 'em."
"What have you been up to? Still with the 'bad guys,' as they were being called when I was with the X-Men?"

He laughed a bit, "no I am not with the bad guys.... I am actually an Xman now and was on my way back to the mansion. I have righted my wormg ways I guess you could say....." He replied while leaning back, "and I am happy you enjoy it... I can imagine it being a little tough to coo down here"

((I apologize, yet again, for the lateness of this reply, yet again. I was in the process of moving back to school. Thankfully I am about completely resettled into my room. Yay.))
"So, they roped ya in did they? Hmm..." She was talking in between bites of food in a very unladylike manner. "Well, saying I enjoy it down here is going a bit far. It's a free place to play house at. I'll move on when I find something better for me."
"It's not as bad down here as it use to be. These tunnels don't get seen by the service people to much, I get more teenagers down here who are looking for a thrill than anything else. I just scare 'em off. Doesn't take much, they are usually drunk."

"I can imagine..." He replied while laughing a bit at her remarks... "I don't know if I got roped back in, but it just seemed right for me. Played both sides for long enough and with the recent tragedy, I feel i owe it to the school to come back and help out full time..."
He looked around a bit, "it must get quite lonely down here from time to time I can imagine.... Is there anyone else down here still or just you?"
((don't worry about it...))

"Eh, there are a few others. Not to many of us ol' Morlocks left." She shrugged. "I don't bother 'em, they don't bother me. I'm use to being alone, was brought up that way. I ain't gonna lie and say I ain't like others when it comes to wantin' company... but I've discovered that its easier to not get involved with most people. Callisto use to tell me that friends are a weakness, the more ya have the weaker ya are."

"Well that could be true, but there is always two sides to that whole friends thing. It is always nice to know that you have someone to back you up when you are gonna need it. Plus I know Callisto... she wasn't always the greatest at making friends..." he laughed, "I don't really think that anyone deserves to be alone"

Sarah laughed at his remark about Callisto. "Yeah, she was a great leader... lousy in the friend department though. She did take care of me, tired to get me out of here." She shakes her head, giving a whatever gesture.
One pink eyebrow raised at his next comment. "Not anyone eh? I'm sure there are more who disagree with you than who agree. They want people who've done stuff in their past that ain't very nice to be locked away and the key lost. They'd rather people like that just disappear." She sighs. "We scare 'em, they don't know when we'll attack again. Frankly, I'm outta the terrorist business for the time bein' so I guess everyone can rest a bit easier." She gives a forced laugh.

"Well we all have done our fair share of not-so-nice things, but that doesn't mean that we haven't seen the light and realized that we were wrong... I am one of those people, but I decided to change. Maybe for the better... i really don't know... i just want to try and help now...."

Sarah smirked. "So is this when I get the speech about turning from my evil ways and joining the fight against all things bad? 'Cause I've heard it a million times. It's a nice thought, fighting evil and what not, but it usually isn't as white and black as they'd lead ya to believe."

"Now this is not that talk... I wouldn't dream of giving you that talk. You can do what you want and male the decision that is best for you. But, you always have somewhere to go and if you ever need anything, well you can.... you now, just ask...."

Sarah laughed, it rang in the large cement room. "Well that's nice of ya." It was awkward, she didn't really know what to say back.
"Can I ask how you got mixed in with the X's?"

"Sure... pretty simple kinda...." He laughed a bit,"at first I was against them really. Had a few run ins against them and had plenty of battles. Of coarse I wasn't really the best at controling my powers back then either. Not too sure exactly what happen but I ended up being saved by the Professor and the rest of the X-men and he took me back to the school... I stayed there very reluctantly and learned to control my powers.... I guess I decided that I liked it there and felt I owed the Prfessor my life..."
