A yellow taxi pulled up to the front gates of the school, the cigar-chomping cab driver looking the place over.
"This is it, mac. 1407 Greymalkin Lane."
"I know it is." With a grin, he gave the driver a fifty, even though the fare was half that. "I know. Keep it." Grabbing his large suitcase, he moved out of the back of the car and out onto the street. He shut the door and moved up to the gates. Just seeing them made him feel like a kid again.
It had been six years since Morph was last year. In that time, he'd made his own way, earning a doctorate in computer science and getting his own fair share of money. But now, with things in the mutant world changing, he knew he had to return. He had to see that things were alright.
Moving a hand through his short brown hair, he moved up to the gates, to the intercom. He set down his case and looked in the reflective plating of the intercom. He was in his, ahem, "human" form - a rather attractive and built male, which allowed him to move through the public and turn some heads along the way. He pulled on his chin a bit, his facial muscles stretching as he did so. Letting go, his chin moved back into position with a snapping sound like a rubber band.
With a smile, he finally pushed the button on the intercom, alerting those inside of his presence.

Rogue was already outside,halfway across the grounds,when she spotted a cab stopped in front of the gates. She stopped where she was,and watched as someone got out of the cab with a rather large suitcase. She smiled,realizing who it was,and walked towards the gates,pulling on her gloves a little. Rogue stopped,figuring he hadn't noticed her yet.
"Nice to see ya again." she said,to get his attention.

He was whistling a bit as he waited for a response from somebody, anybody, through the intercom. His attention, however, was brought to the girl who had arrived at the gates. She was at least five years younger than him, but even so, that still meant she was legal, which is why his brown eyes trailed over her for a moment.
"Nice to see ya again."
"I'm sorry?" He picked up his suitcase. "Do I know you?" He'd never seen her before. She must have been one of Charles's new recruits from after he left. After all, it has been six years. "I'm Morph." He had always preferred the name that the Professor had given him. His arm was extended through the bars of the gate. When she'd grab his hand, though, his hand would literally come off, despite being organic and real. With a grin, another hand popped out of his arm, taking the place of the former.
"So. Can I get in here?"

(Sorry 'bout that ) Rogue smiled,looking him over a bit. Then she looked back to his face,and shook her head a bit,still having a headache. "Sorry,guess ah took one too many painkillers." she said with a bit of a laugh. "Yo' look kinda like someone ah know,an' ah just assumed...sorry 'bout that,sugah." she said,watching as he extended his hand. "Rogue." she replied,reaching out to shake his hand. Her eyes widened a bit when his hand came off,and she blinked as she watched another one just pop out of his arm. "Huh.." she said,pondering a bit. Looking back up at his face,she smiled and nodded. "Sure thing." She pressed a button,opening the gates,and stepped back a bit.

"Yeah, well, I get that a lot." With his power, he could be anyone or anything. Hence there would be times that he would coincidentally take the form of somebody similar looking. He walked through the open gate, suitcase in hand.
"Been awhile since I've been here." Looking around a bit, he then turned to the girl. "If you'll excuse me, Scott's expecting me." He grinned. "See ya' around, kid." With that, he turned and headed up the driveway and to the main mansion. He opened the front door and dropped his suitcase.
"Lucy, I'm home!" He shouted in a perfect replica of Ricky Ricardo's voice, alerting those who knew him in his time as a student that he was back. Oh dear god, Morph was back.
