I understand that it's bad form to leave during the first week of classes, but I need to visit my sist go home for the weekend.

If any of you are running drills, could you include the Paragons? A little friendly competition is mutually beneficial, no?

[...]

[Emma]

Do you still want to join me?

[Kurt]

[...] Eva does not have more sense than you, after all.

I made her cry. But she still wants to see me. I suppose I should be grateful.

[Illyana]

Could I inconvenience you for a lift to Barcelona? No obligation, of course.

The children will survive for a weekend. Honestly, I think earlier is probably better. They won't be in their routines yet.

If someone could extend the same generosity to my Hellions that would be wonderful. They're a bit of a nightmare right now, though, as a warning.

[Manny]
Of course, I wouldn't miss a trip to Spain.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

You have a point. And, regardless, needs must.

The Hellions are misbehaving? Surely not.

[Emma]

[...] Naturalmente. It is beautiful this time of year, after all.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Yes, of course. I'm glad it's happening.

So unexpected, isn't it? I'm trying to teach them they don't have to like each other to work together.

[Manny]
I'm sure. I haven't been around this time before.

Will I get to meet your sister? No pressure, of course, simply curious.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

With any luck, they will come to like each other, but you will get through to them either way.

[Emma]

If I had put it off another two weeks, we could attend La Mercè. Lo siento.

[...] I would like you to. But I do not know how this will go.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Of course we can cover for you. Both of you. Anything we should be aware of with your students?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Por supuesto. Next time I will not bother to ask. But thank you.

Kit is still reluctant to use their powers after the incident on the parkway, so they will require some reassurance, and Nina has a longstanding fascination with your optic blasts. She is positively green with envy. Though, I do not foresee that being a problem.

[blindcut remy lebeau 🃏 gambit]

I'll talk to Kit. Making a dramatic entrance is nothing to be ashamed of.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Shame is not the problem. But I do think talking to you would do them some good.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You're welcome. We can lose up to three squad leaders for one week before my backup plans are no longer effective.

It's hard when you feel like you're a danger to people. I can talk to Kit too, but Remy is probably more fun to listen to. [...] Could Nina replicate my powers?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Only three? Are you finally relaxing a little?

Sí. They are still coming to terms with that. Fun or not, they may benefit from your insights.

She would like to, but I've seen no evidence that she could.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Thank you sweetheart 🤍

Amadeus and Melville are being twits, mostly. Let me know if they're being too rambunctious?

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

my students are very well behaved

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I wouldn't be too proud just yet, darling. You've barely had them a week.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Names I'm unfortunately familiar with. I didn't want to throw anyone into the Danger Room in the first week, but some combat training might do both of our squads some good.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

sure just give me a minute to put my shoes on

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Gracias. That will make things easier.

Tomorrow after classes would be better, if I am not pushing your good will too far.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

so i put my shoes on for nothing

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I can cover stuff. Buster and Rasmus have already supplemented the danger room with like training robots so there’s plenty of threats for everyone.
Is everything ok at home?

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

Buster has been busy

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Oh god is he doing something else.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Thank you, Gatita.

That was quick. But if you've deemed these robots up to par, I will assume we have nothing to worry about.

[...] Sí. As okay as it has ever been. I just have some personal matters to attend to.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Well let’s get it clear I absolutely haven’t but. I promise I will clear them before siccing them on your teams.

ooh. Mystery.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

We will all help keep an eye on them. I heard there are some big personalities on your team.

[Manny]

Maybe you should listen to me more often, ja?

But I am glad to hear this. You both deserve a chance to reconnect.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

That is one way to put it. But thank you.

With so many helping hands, they will be training from Friday to Sunday.

[Kurt]

I would not go that far.

[...] Deserve is debatable. But if that is what she wants, I will not turn her down.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

I think our friends have most of it under control, thankfully. Tell them to visit me if they need any help, although I know you can handle most of it yourself.\

[Manny]

How many times do I need to be right before I win you over?

Be kind to yourself. Let her focus on getting to know you, not reassuring you that you're not a monster.
