"Okay, What's Up, He looked at her Quizically, His hands glowed with energy, as he paused. the crackeling was one that he had permenantly learned from Alex, THe energy rays where an old and trusted friend, Gotten him out of more jams than he could count. He walked back to her, and as he stepped back around the corner his thoughts where heard again.

Betsy looked at him. "Here. Right here." She stepped back where he had been a moment ago and pointed again. "I can't read thoughts while standing here. As if something is blocking me from doing so." Her eyes widened as a revelation hit her. "There's mutants here. There has to be!" She said excitedly. "That's the only reason I can think of for this!"
She clapped her hands and laughed like a school girl who'd just gotten props for getting an A on an exam.

He smiled, Yeah, This had ta be it. "Well time to start looking around. They've gotta be here, some where. " He smiled, his hands still crackeling with energy as he walked up to her. We must have crossed a barrier, Preventing incoming scans or something, Odd, Never seen one like this around a neighbor hood.

Archer Paused, Looking to Lorna, "Someone just crossed the field. Two of them, One probably female, And a man, He has energy he is projecting. It's coming from near him. " He looked at her waiting for a reaction, as he readied for the possibility of an attack.

Betsy: "They have to be!" She said still a bit excited. "Well, let's head up nearer to that house." She said pointing at the town house she stood in front of. "Maybe it's coming from there."
Lorna: Lorna looked at Archer, brow furrowing. They weren't expecting any more guests that she knew of and she knew that Archer had this place barricaded from outside disturbances. She walked over to the window and peeked out. "It is a woman. She has purple hair..." She trailed off for a moment before turning to him. "Wait a minute! That's Betsy!" She walked to the door and unlocked it, opening it and calling out. "Betsy!"

"Um Crap, Hi Lorna, What are you doing way out here. " He scratched his head, Dismissing the energy. He looked at her Quizically, almost expecting to see Alex lurking in the door. Memories of borrowing her power and becoming a human magnet where still a little humerous, as he was a giant walking bullseye for every refrigerator magnet in the school. He shook his head, just happy to see her alright.

Lorna's eyes grew even wider as she recognized the man beside Betsy. "Jason? Is that really you?' She rushed out the door and gave him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. "Oh my goodness just look at you!" She smiled as she stepped back a bit, arms still around him. "You look great! When did you get back?" The questions were coming a mile a minute as she laughed and turned to look at Betsy. "And Betsy! What.. what are you guys doing here?"

Betsy looked at Lorna, a smile on her face, but still the deep worry that had been in her eyes was there. "Came looking for you, Lorna. You just disappeared without a trace. You, Andy, Lilli and a few others. I got a bit scared thinking something had happened to you, so I had to find you. Jason here offered to help me go looking, so here we are."

He arched His Brow, his eyes fading from black back to their normal steel grey. He looked to Lorna, "You know these two?" He asked, He was uncertain, But they appeared to be old friends.

He Smiled, "Lorna, How are you, I just got in today, All night on a plane, and a shoprt cab ride, But I just got in. How's Alex? Don't tell me the two of you ran off and got Married." He chuckled Mentally at that, It would be just like Alex. "Any way, I'm fine, Paid my debt for college, and I'm back teaching for Xavier now. "

Lorna had forgotten all about Archer in the excitement of seeing these two again. She turned to look at Archer, warmth filling her face. "Yes I do." She nodded. "This is Betsy Braddock and Jason Cristi. They're from the Xavier Institute. And a couple of my oldest and dearest friends."

"Lorna, Who's Alex?" He hovered now Outside the door, though neither Betsy nor Jase had seen him pass through it. Nor heard it open nor close behind him.

Lorna sighed as she looked at Archer. "Let's all go inside please?" She looked at him imploringly. "It's a long story and I don't want to go into it out here in the middle of the street."

He smiled Gently, He trusted her, And this didn't change the way he felt about her at all. "Yes, Please come in. "

Lorna turned and headed back towards their home and looked back at the other two. "Let's go inside. I'll explain everything. To all of you."
She went inside knowing that the rest would follow. "Please... have a seat." She motioned to the only empty seat they had right now which happened to be the loveseat, then sat down on the sofa and sighed deeply.
"Jason, Alex and I aren't together any more." She shook her head softly. "Things just never did seem to work out between us. We were always fighting and I just couldn't deal with it any more." She placed her hands in her lap and looked sideways at where Archer was no doubt hovering. "We'd just parted ways about a year ago. I don't know where he is these days, but I have been sort of on the run since then. But I'll explain THAT little detail later."
She looked at Archer, her eyes filling with tears. "I'm so sorry. I never told you about him. Things just started happening so fast between us that I forgot about him. You... made me forget all about him."
