Bits and Pieces Chapter Twenty Seven
Disclaimers Apply

A/N Goddess Foxfeather, Queen of Mad Plotbunnies, BUSIEST
WOMAN ALIVE �, Prophetic Muse, Hamster Witch and Uberbeta� Ugh� blah� I believe
that sums it up. ;) InterNutter, TC, Maxwell Pink, Dracena and
Greywolf are loverly and wondermous for archiving/hosting. J ProPhile isn�t here so� la la la la
la la la. Morgan: *glomp* Readers/Reviewers: About seven chapters
left. Ish. Thanks for reading/reviewing as you can!

�This is
stupid,� Emma muttered, flinging the curtains wide. �How the Hell can this be happening?�
�Emma, calm
down,� Sean groaned. �Forget I said
anything!�
�How can I?� Her voice was nearing the shrill range as she
rounded on him. �You have the worst
sense of timing of any man I�ve ever met!
Do you even HAVE a clue about what�s going on?�
�Actually,
no,� he sighed, falling back on the bed, closing his eyes to block out the view
of Emma standing at his knees, her hands fisted on her hips as she glared, her
mouth a knife-slash of anger. �I think
you�re getting excited about nothing.�
�Nothing? THIS is nothing?� she gestured with one hand,
her eyes flashing. �Sean, is your head
attached to your shoulders? The world is
absolute chaos and all you can think about is��
�Is
dropping it,� he replied tersely, sitting up.
He wanted to take her hand in his but did not, forcing himself to keep
his fingers laced around his knees. �I
have bad timing, you�re right. Just let
it go and if it ever comes up again, you can berate me again.�
Emma
growled low in her throat and turned away, pressing her forehead against the
window. �The Morlocks��
�We�ll deal
with them later. Right now,� Sean said
softly, rising to his feet and moving to stand behind her but not reaching to
touch her, �we�re going to go see Jean, okay?
We�re going to go visit her, then come back here where you can talk to
Professor Xavier about your visit from that woman. And then,� he said a bit more firmly,
shifting as she turned to face him, �we can go back to Boston
and you can run the school instead of leaving poor Betsy in charge� you know
she doesn�t do well with kids, right?�
Emma
snorted delicately. �Like I do? The last teenagers I was truly in charge of
were the Hellions and look how that turned out!� She closed her eyes and drew herself up to
her full height. �Fine. I�ll get dressed and we�ll leave.�
Sean took
the cue and left her alone in the guest room she had been assigned, shutting
the door behind him as he made his way down the narrow hall towards the even
more narrow stairs. He preferred them to
the elevator, giving him time to think as he rejoined the rest of the
household. _Okay, so maybe my timing
wasn�t that great. And maybe I should�ve
told Theresa first but really, she�s my daughter and all, but it�s none of her
business. Or is it? Gah, my head hurts
just sorting this mess out. Fine, I�ll
just keep my mouth shut and� _ �Dear lord, what are you wearing?�
Mark
glared, standing on the second floor landing and frowning. �Clothing.
What are you wearing?�
�Not� that,�
Sean swallowed a laugh. �Are you trying
to tell us something then? A general
unhappiness with life or just a love of black?�
�I�m only
wearing black until they invent something darker[1],�
Mark replied tartly. �Don�t let me keep you,� he added, gesturing Sean past him
down the stairs.
Sean shook
his head, grinning slightly, and started past Mark, only to draw up short. �Tabby!�
The blonde
had been standing several steps down from Mark, pressed against the banister
and waiting in the shadows. �What?� she
snapped. �I�m busy.�
Sean
recoiled slightly, blinking. He really
had no idea what to say to her, the heavy discomfort of dealing with someone in
a grieving stage pressing on his neck and shoulders. Anything he said would sound trite, he knew,
and any question he asked pretending that Lucas was not missing would make him
sound uncaring. _Sod it, _ he thought
bitterly. �Tabby, I used to work law
enforcement. If you would like, I�ll
talk to the officers in charge of your case.
Maybe put the fear of God into them��
He offered a tentative, stiff smile.
Tabby
stared at him blankly for a long moment before exhaling a shaky breath. �I think it�s under control,� she replied curtly. �Mark is dealing with it.�
Sean slid
his gaze to Mark, who was studying his nails intently. �Oh, really?� the Irishman said lightly. �How� interesting. I�ll leave you both to it then�� He nodded and smiled even more tightly than
before, forcing himself to trip lightly down the stairs as if he were not
suddenly bothered by the new development. _It would do no good to talk to her, _he told
himself sternly. He paused at the bottom
step, frowning back up the stairs in the direction Mark and Tabby had
disappeared into. �Where are they going?�
he murmured. He ticked off a list of all
the rooms up there�three guest rooms, a smaller library where the oldest
volumes were consigned, and an empty storage room. �Huh��
�Something
wrong?�
Sean nearly
jumped out of his skin. �How the Hell
did you get done so fast?� he asked Emma, clutching at his heart. �You usually take an hour or more on your
make up alone!�
She
smiled. �I move in mysterious ways,
little man. The car is waiting for
us. We�re riding with Storm and some of
the students. Logan and the others will
be along later.� She turned and walked
smoothly down the hall, her hips swaying with each step.
�You�re
doing that on purpose, aren�t you?� he called after her, smiling slightly.
�Me? Never.�
She did not look back at him but
he knew she was smiling.
He
snorted. _Maybe today won�t be so bad
after all. _

[1] One of
my friends has a shirt that says that. It�s cute.
