Betsy looked at him, still composing herself. "I'm fine. You just caught me off guard with the comments about Scott." She showed him the locker room. "You can put your bag in there. The combination is still on the back of the lock since it's brand new."
She moved out of the way so he could get to it. "As for Lorna, I've seen her around once or twice in the past few days or so. But haven't seen her since she disappeared 3 days ago." She frowned because she hadn't been able to track her by thoughts either.

He off loaded the Duffel, Locking the locker as he turned, and looked at Betsy, "So she and Alex have snuck off again, Hope it's not to Vegas. Seems like Alexes way ofthinking. Get hitched with elvis as the pastor and an Indian as a witness." He smiled roguishly as he finished. God help the world if they'd run off to get hitched there, Lorna's a catholic for one thing, And the fights really wouldn't stop, the crockery and other things'd hit the fan for sure. He chuckled softly. the image was fnny, Alex ducking skillets and pots as he ran from his wife's magnetic onslaught, and the insults she hurled.

Betsy shook her head. "No, I don't think they ran off together." She let out a sigh. "Honestly, I don't know where she went and that bothers me a bit. She was here, then gone. A boy named Andy went looking for her and now he is missing as well. So is Lilli, a student here."
She was nibbling at her nails again. She always seemed to do that whenever she either got nervous or worried. "I should be able to find them, read their thoughts and know exactly where they are, but it's almost like there's a type of shield around them that I can't break through."

"Well, I guess we've got a Saturday Field trip Planned, Go find Lorna. " He smiled Confidently, trying to off set the obvious worry she felt on the topic. "Just let me get changed here, I doubt walking around in combat attire is called for here. So Um unless you're planning on watching, I'll catch you in the hall." A roguish smile beamed for a moment on his face for a moment. as he said, " THen again if you are planning on hanging out I'm a fair dancer. " He laughed after the statement, He was playing, But only half way.

That got another chuckle out of her, but she shook her head. "I'll be outsidethe door thanks."
Betsy walked back out the door and stood outside just shaking her head. He was an interesting character, she had to give him that much at least. She did wonder where the others were and what they were doing right now. Especially the ones that had gone missing. Heck... even the kid Marcus that they were supposed to be keeping an eye on due to the fact that he was on parole and being made to stay here or jail was gone. She thought about reporting that, but then again, she'd probably be sneaking off as much as she could too.

He chuckled, Changing as he whistled loud and shrill "I believe in Miricles" From the full Monte. He shook his head, Pulling on a shirt as he walked out the door. "Wouldn't want them to think I was with the draft board or somethin. He strode out, Confidence carrying him hige, He knew he'd gotten some attention, and that made him feel a little better. Hell He'd forgotten about the fur incident. A flash of the short lived Rip-Van-Winkle beard poped through his mind, as he smiled at Betsy. "So Pretty Lady you up for an early Afternoon stroll? "

Betsy stood there laughing softly and shaking her head as he began to sing in the locker room. She couldn't help but be a bit more at ease since he seemed to be good natured enough. She nodded approval as he came back out looking a bit less like a G.I. Joe action figure.
"Sure," She smiled. "Why not? It's pretty gloomy in this empty place anyways." She turned and began to walk towards the front of the school again, knowing he was probably staring at her, but oh well... boys would be boys.
The sun was still shining brightly up in the sky so she slipped on a pair of sunglasses before turning. "Off we go." She tried to sound light-hearted about it, but inside, she was still quite worried over the fate of her fellow friends.

They strolled Down the street, Looking for the Psychic Black hole that Lorna had fallen into, A thought hoping they had brought enough rope to pull her oiut crossed his mind, as he vividly pictured the two of them tugging back on a make shift roap made of his shirt and jacket and some poor sots clothes line pulling Lorna up from a hole in the sidewalk. He smiled at Betsy. "I'm following you, This Psychic no fly zone is gonna be a hell of a lot easier for you to pick up on than me. And I really don't wanna borrow your powers, Uncontrolled Telepathy is like a dozen tequila hang overs all at once. " He smiled as they headed down the street.

Betsy shook her head and laughed at him. He was kind of funny in a Robin Williams sort of way. You never knew what was going to come out of his mouth unless you were constantly reading his thoughts, and she wasn't about to do that since some of those thoughts were considerably perverse in nature.
"Well I don't intend on letting you do that anyways. But if I may ask, can you keep from borrowing other's powers?"

"Yep, Kinda the wierd thing about me, I can read your DNA and copy the X gene from others onto my own. Most of the time it only lasts for ten minutes or so though, but at least it doesn't have any of the really bad quirks, I wouldn't want to end up like the Blob for instance, But if I don't 'Forget' it quick enough, It becomes a living hell for me. Since I don't know how to use it, and they don't come with manuals. But it's a conscious choice to borrow the power, I just have to inter act with a person for a couple of minutes. Hell I picked up Alexes Energy bolts that way. It's really got ol blue fuzzy scratching his head, He calls it a Null X Gene, A blank slate. At least until I can picked up a couple I kept. As a rule of thumb, If it's close to something I already learned for good, I can pretty much deal, Like copying scott would just mean I can shoot energy out of my eyes as well as my hands. But the stuff that's really different takes a lot of handling by the person who's 'Teaching' Me. Which works out since I don't imjpact their abilities, Just copy it. Kinda neat, Until you light yourself on fire, or freeze everything you touch. "

Betsy stopped and faced him as he explained his ability to her. It did sound sort of interesting, but at the same time, almost more of a bane instead of a boon since the effects didn't last very long.
"Wow.. kind of a bummer that they don't last long though." She began to pick up the pace again. "So where do you think we should start looking for the others?" The streets were thankfully quiet for the time being. Most people were probably out swimming in the lake or the city pool. Some were probably at the Arcade or some other establishment that offered mind numbing hours of entertainment. She'd already been to most of them and everyone she'd asked had not seen any of the people she was looking for. This caused her to frown and sigh softly

He chuckled, Then Became serious, noticing the concentration on her face. "Everything alright?" He he quickened pace with her, THis was really bothering him.

Betsy shook herr head as he caught up with her. She was going to be candid with him since he knew some of the same people she did. And hewas one of the X-Men like her. "No. I don't think so." She sighed heavily. "This really has me worried. Especially the fact that I cannot read any of the missing ones. I can't understand that part at all."
She frowned and shook her head, violet eyes showing that deep concern for her fellows. "How can you just disappear like that? I am so confused and very worried!" She took a deep breath to try to regain her composure. Freaking out was definitely not going to help them find anyone, nor would it help if they ran into any trouble during their search.

"If they're any where We'll find them, Even if we have to pretend we're girl scouts selling cookies and go door to door." He frowned, ANd focoused, Headding down a street of town houses as he walked, a zone was entered, She could see him, But not read his thoughts.

As they walked, it got.... quiet. She could no longer hear any noise at all. No birds. She couldn't even read his thoughts any longer. She shot out an arm and grabbed his, halting him.
"Wait a minute." She titled her head to the side, an unusual look on her face
