Count: Pretty much. If the Xavier mansion is still standing, then I'm going to have to figure out why. Then I'll make a visit to that mansion in Pennsylvania.
(Count turned to Jack and gave a bow.)
Count: Thank you for the drink and your hospitality.
(From there, he turned to Marcus, so he can give him new orders.)
Count: Marcus, look after the girl. Try to get her to talk. We need as much information we can possibly grasp. She may also be the key to getting Sara back.

Ryuu watch Count with narrowed eyes. He knew that he could get the information out of Pavati better than Marcus, but he didn't feel like going through his loopholes to relay it back to anyone. He would have to sit in on Marcus's sessions with the girl though. He cleared his throat and stood, "Speaking of the girl, I'm going to go see if she wants any food." He smiled softly and headed up the stairs, his tiny tail swishing behind him.

Marcus nodded to Count, then said to Ryuu "Come get me when you come back down. I wanna check on the pups" referring to the triplets. He followed the cat-man up the stairs. Marcus walked in to the triplets room without knocking saying "Lets see how the trio is doing, non?"
Downstairs, Jack flipped to the new to see the headlines reporting the attack on the Pentagon. The lady reporting called it the newest attack of the Sovereigns Terrorists.
The b*stard is not even attacking them and he gets the blame." Jack said. "Lovely."

(Count made his way to the front door. He opened it and stepped out. He held a half smile as he closed the door. From the window, Count could be seen walking out, only to be wrapped in a swirl of shadow before disappearing.)

(The triplets were in one of the spare rooms. There were only two beds in the spare room. Nick was on one of the beds, still unconscious, but lucky still breathing. James was lying on the second bed. He starred at the ceiling with dream like eyes. Bored out of his mind, he turned to the wall next to him. The very tip of his finger turned red. He then used it to "write" his name on the wall, plus the current date. It read...)
James Young, 7/25/20XX
(Alex was leaning against one of the walls next to the bedroom window. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure. He turned to it and saw Count before teleporting away.)
Alex: Hey James, Count just left the building. Wonder where he's going.
(James sat up straight, looking at Alex.)
James: You know him. He's probably going to go do Countish... things.
Alex: Like?
James: I'm not entirely sure. Knowing him, you never know what he's going to do.
Alex: Yeah, you got that right.
(At that moment, Marcus came bursting into the room. Alex and James were startled. Their hearts began pumping rapidly, before slowly returning to normal. The two turned to him.)
Alex: We're just taking it easy at the moment. Nick still hasn't woken up, but he seems to be doing better now.

Marcus looked at the triplets. "Well its good that he is doing better. Bad that he is still out like a light." The shifter said. "B.T.W. Count went to check up on somethings that have to deal with the X-Men."

Alex: Yeah, I saw him leave from the window.
(All of a sudden, James's stomach began growling. They hadn't eaten in a while and all the adrenaline from the earlier mission made him forget how hungry he really was. James placed his hand on his stomach, looking at Marcus.)
James: Is there anything to eat around here?

Before Ryuu knocked on Pavati's door, he put an ear to her it. When he didn't hear any sound, he opened it softly. The girl was seemed to be sleeping on her side, facing away from the door, her breathing even. He stepped softly into her room and sat down beside her bed. He could see that she had been crying and he wondered if there was anything that he could do. For now, he just settled on watching over her and making sure that no one came in to bother her.

Marcus looked at James. "Yeah... Should have though o' that. I am pretty sure you could get fast food kinda stuff downstairs." Marcus commented. "You guys like hamburgers, right?"

(Upon hearing Marcus's suggestion, James began to smile happily. He could actually feel his mouth get a bet watery at the thought of eating hamburgers.)
James: Yeah definitely!
(Alex's mind was on Count and the recovery of his brother, but even he had to admit that hamburgers would go great at the moment. His mind was so busy he just realized how hungry he was. Then he thought of the girl, the X-man they saved. Alex looked up at Marcus.)
Alex: Hey Marcus, you should probably go ask the X-men girl if she wants something too. I doubt prison food is all that tasty.

"That is an excelent idea." He said , "Except I already tired that and she proceded to throwing it everywhere." He sighed then made a gesture like he was writing on a clip board and started speaking in a really bad french accent, trying to make the kids laugh, he asked, "So ve 'ave troi cheezeburgours, an' vould vous anjoee a couple of ze colaz viz 'eet?" A smile came to his face to show that he was trying to be funny.

(At Marcus's joke, Alex faked an awkward laugh just to be nice. Hearing Alex's awkward laugh caused an immediate reaction with James. James began to laugh at Alex. This in turn caused Alex to laugh. Soon enough the room was filled with the laughs of both the twins. Their laughs caused a stir from the bed next to them.)
Nick: Can you guys keep it down.... you are all being awfully loud!
(The two brothers stopped laughing and turned to Nick who was resting on the bed. He had not said anything for hours. Upon hearing his voice, Nick and James turned to Alex. They were filled with emotional joy that they jumped on top of his bed.)
Alex: NICK!! You're finally awake!!
James: Bro we thought you were a goner!!
(James's voice cracked a little, but he quickly hid his emotions by changing his attitude.)
James: You son of a b*$%h, it's great to have you back. By the way, you owe us this.
(James made a fist and punched Nick on the arm. Nick let out a numbly "oww". He looked James square in the eye, with a fierce animalistic expression.)
Nick: What was that about!!
James: That... is for letting yourself get shot! So rude of you...
Nick: And that was my fault!?
James: Pretty much.
(James closed his eyes to try to hide the bits of tears in them. He then forced himself to hide his joy, but it failed miserably. The boy now had the most innocent smile he could muster. The face that James had was enough to make anyone laugh, smile, cry, or all of the above. Alex shook his head at his brother, laughing under his breath too.)
James: No but we're really happy you pulled through.
Alex: Yeah seriously, it's a miracle that X-man girl was right there at the right moment in time and that she was willing to help one of our own. You should be lucky that wolf girl has healing abilities. If it wasn't for her, you would have just been food for the worms hours ago.
James: Count also patched up your wounds as well. So you wouldn't get a nasty scar. Though on the down side, you won't be able to impress any LA girls with a mainly "warrior" scar. That kinda sucks for you.
(Nick looked down at his bare torso and noticed that there were no gun wounds or any indications that he was hurt. It was smooth like the skin of a baby. He kinda smiled at James's joke. Then he let out a sigh, thinking over how lucky he was to be alive.)
Nick: Yeah, you guys are right. Jokes aside, I'm glad to be alive as well. So... how well did the mission go after I was knocked cold?
(At that the atmosphere of the room changed. Alex and James turned to Marcus to see if he would explain it to him.)

Marcus could feel the room get tense. "Well," He began."It went ok... ish." He looked at the triplets. <Better to get this over with.> The shifter thought with a sigh. "Winterfire was not there, though." He could see the faces of the boys drop. "But, we got the x-chick so it was not a complete loss. And yeah all of us got pretty banged up but we are all alive sooo. I say it went pretty well." Marcus shrugged. "I mean sure Winterfire was not there, but hey, we entered a compound for super dangerous people and got out alive AND got a cue new face to look at." Marcus let a grin creep to his face. "I mean, I know I am dashing and all but I am pretty sure that you lot get tired of looking at this mug all the time."

(Nick let out a weak "ha" at Marcus's joke to attempt to cheer him up. He disappointed hearing everything that had happened, but he was glad everyone was alive.)
Nick: Yeah, I guess you are right.
(Nick thought about the X-men girl. He couldn't remember her, but according to his brothers, she was the reason why he was alive right now. Nick looked down and pondered what happened. He looked back up at Marcus.)
Nick: So where's the girl now?

"She is across the hall." Marcus said, "Hey I am going to be right back with your food." He left the room, knowing that the boys should have some time on their own for a bit. Plus he was going to be getting them food. He walked down into the kitchen. Where he saw a very skinny boy crouched on the counter sneaking some food. The boy was dressed like something Marcus had seen had growing popularity in parties and night clubs, he was dressed like a rave cat except that instead of a cat tail he had several long fox like tails, each of them shimmering. Part of what shocked Marcus was how the kid was dressed. The other part was that he was stealing their food.
"Hey!" Marcus barked as he halfshifted "What do you think you are doing?"
In that moment the boy's ears pricked and twitched in Marcus' direction. He glanced over, wide eyed, and in a moment vanished.
Jack poked his head in the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong? Who was doing what?"
Marcus told Jack what he had seen, to which Jack replied, "Oh you met Kit. He stops by every now and then takes some food and leaves. Usually after I see him I get a lot of customers so he is kinda like a good luck charm to the bar. I take it you scared him?"
"I-... I guess. He just kinda vanished." Marcus replied bashfully.
Jack just nodded his head and shrugged. "Don't worry about it. He will be back soon."
Jack left Marcus to get cooking for the triplets. All the while Marcus was wondering about the strange boy.
