Kitty led Keiy to the briefing room, which was just a room with a large table and chairs with a 3D holographic global map. Kitty pulled out one of the chairs and sat down while they waited for Jack. There was so much going on and now there was another situation to deal with, possibly. Kitty breathed heavily as she continued waiting.

Keiy, who had been quiet for the whole time and kind of hiding in the corner of the room, finaly asked in a meek voice, "Um... Mi-miss Kitty. What happened... What happened to Chris-cristina?"

Kitty picked up her head and looked over at Keiy.
Shadowcat: I really don't know. Hopefully Jack does.

(The doors to the briefing room slide open and Jack walked inside. He stood and starred at Keiy and Kitty until the doors closed. He went over to one of the seats and sat down. He extended his hand in the air, as a way to )
Mindcontrol: Hey guys. We're going to wait until Avriletta gets here, before we start.
(At that moment, the doors slide open and Avriletta came rushing in.)
Mindcontrol: Speak of the devil, you're here already?
Avriletta: You know me Jack. So what's wrong?
(Avriletta took the seat next to Jack. He took a few seconds recollecting his thought on the entire situation. Avriletta placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. Jack looked up at Avriletta and smiled. After that, he finally spoke.)
Mindcontrol: I just got a phone call from Commissioner Oros. She's the head of the Los Angeles PD, the people we were working with on our last mission. Not too long ago, a group of small mutants infiltrated their headquarters. They plan on releasing all the mutant criminals, including the ones we just put away yesterday. Commissioner Oros fears that these mutants might be working for the Sovereigns.
(Jack stopped talking and waited for everything he said so far to sink in.)

Kitty lightly groaned. They just dealt with Sovereigns and had one in their custody. Of course they wouldn't take a break. But then a thought quickly shot through Kitty's mind. She gasped and shot a worried look to Jack.
Shadowcat: Oh god, what about Pavati?

Mindcontrol: That's what I'm afraid of most. From what you told me Kitty, Veronica left Pavati in one of those mutant cells. If those mutants find out that Pavati is an X-man, one of us, who knows what they'll do to her. That's why we need to assemble a team as soon as possible, and head over there. But there lies another problem.

Keiy lifted his shoulder as high as he could without hurting himself, which was not very high. Then he said "We are hurt." His voice was very quiet and barely more that a wisper.

(Jack let out a sigh of worry. He looked down. He placed his hands together so that the tips of his fingers touched, as if in prayer. He nodded his head at Keiy's short but significant comment.)
Mindcontrol: He's right. A lot of us are still injured from yesterday, myself included. Christina was injured not too long ago. Liz found her using Cerebro. I still don't know why she was using it. She was found unconscious and could have easily fallen into a coma if Liz hadn't pulled her out. So Christina cannot come. Liz is...
(He stopped and wondered if he should tell Avriletta and Keiy on what happened to Liz. However, doing so, he would have to explain the long entire history behind the events of Apocalypse. Which he did not have the time for.)
Mindcontrol: Liz has not been herself lately. I think it would be dangerous on her part and everyone else if she came on this mission. That leaves Nala, but there's no way I'm going to have her come along. She's still new to the mansion and I don't want to endanger her in any way. I'm not going to go either. With my injuries, I doubt I'll last long. Plus, I need to stay here and keep an eye on everyone. I have to make sure that Sara doesn't burn this place down. Then there's those kids. I need to supervise them. So that only leaves you three for this mission.

Keiy looked up when Jack had said "you three." That made Keiy's brow knot up. He really didn't want to be going any where. He wanted to be talking to Nala. <But that would require me saying that I want to be around Nala, and that would make them assume that I like Nala.> Keiy thought.<Not that I don't... Its just...> His frown got deeper as he thought about this. Then he realized that Jack would probably be watching him, so Keiy forced his mace to relax.

Kitty held a look of determination as she nodded at Jack.
Shadowcat: I'm going. I have to go get Pavati back. I promised her.

(Avriletta stood up and walked behind Jack. She knew that Jack had been under a lot of stress lately, they all had. She wrapped her arms and wings around him.)
"We'll be back by dinner tonight."
(She gave Jack a kiss on the cheek before releasing her hold on him.)

(Jack held a weak smile on his face. He then turned to Keiy. Jack still had no idea what the shy, innocent looking man was capable of, but he needed his help nonetheless. He could sense that he was having mixed feelings about this mission.)
Mindcontrol: I know you're still new to everyone here and I barely even know you. I hate forcing people into these kinds of siuations, but I desperately need you and your abilities. We all need you, including everyone upstairs. And just know, that once you come back home with Pavati, I'll make you an honorary member of this team and I'll consider you apart of this family.

Keiy looked up at Jack. He was unsure of what to say, so he just nodded meekly. He tried to sound sure of himself, and say something witty, but found himself thinking about Marcus. Keiy choked back the thoughts and said in a quiet voice, "Is-is it always this-this busy?" Keiy cracked a small smile.

Mindcontrol: Yeah. There's never a dull moment.
(Jack returned the smile. He then turned to Kitty.)
Mindcontrol: Alright guys, you should get going now.
(He then looked at Keiy and then at Avriletta.)
Mindcontrol: Kitty is in charge. Follow her every order. Good luck team.

Kitty got up from her seat and made her way to Jack. She put a hand on his shoulder, a sign of comfort knowing she would take full responsibility in this upcoming mission as well as a seeking comfort for herself.
Shadowcat: Take care of everyone, and yourself.
Kitty gave one last smile before adding to her former statement in her head.
Especially Liz
