WHO: Open to all X-Men, especially Emma and Jean
WHAT: Won't somebody please think of the children?
WHEN: July 17th, mid-morning
WHERE: The grounds outside the Mansion

THIS IS AN OPEN TAG. ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO HELP THE CHILDREN OUT OF THE MANSION AND TEND TO ANY WOUNDED, PLEASE GO AHEAD! A TAG ORDER WILL EVOLVE AS OTHERS JOIN. HAVE FUN!

Charles had known the attack was coming. Of course. But, like so many other things in life, this was something that needed to happen. A wakeup call, perhaps, to his X-Men who had grown lax and comfortable over the years.

What he hadn't been expecting was the presence of one Victor Creed. The man, the creature, was dangerous a the best of times. If his blood began to boil, even Magneto could not pull him back. The children needed to be evacuated, and quickly. With a soft sigh, he reached out to those who could react the quickest.

Emma! Jean! The Mansion is under attack...I need you to take the children to the grounds, I can protect them there. Prepare for wounded...I need you to put aside any outstanding petty issues, and protect your family here. Please.

Emma had been in the pool at the time of the attack, swimming laps in her diamond form. Although she was unable to mentally project in said form, she could still receive, and Xavier's message came as a huge shock. She climbed out of the pool, pulling on a pair of white yoga pants, and headed upstairs to the Mansion.

She could practically smell Sabretooth in the belly of the mansion, no doubt on his way to find Logan. No matter...she had her own role to play. Still diamond-hard, she made her way to the kitchen, naturally the first place to look for children, with the intent of shepherding them outside.

	Jean, meanwhile, headed for the den. There had to be some kids in there, right? Playing video games or foosball... "Everyone out, this isn't a drill! You know what to do!" She wasn't stopping there, though. Emma... Now was not the time to hold a grudge. I'm heading upstairs...checking for any students in their rooms. Do you have the ground floor?

Jean's voice in the back of her head was no surprise. Despite their conflicts and differences, Emma and Jean had fought side by side as often as they had fought against one another, and Jean's strength in a situation like this was certainly appreciated.

I have the kitchen, the downstairs lounge, and the bathrooms. I don't know if there's anyone in the gym...it's too close to the Danger room. The pool's clear. I assume we'll make camp at the far end of the football field?

	Yeah. I'm going to make one final sweep. I've sent any kids through the tunnels. I'll be there as soon as I can, Jean replied. As much as Emma appreciates her strength, Jean certainly appreciates Emma's determination. She knows the kids are in good hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alright. I'll set up something of a field infirmary...

She continued through the halls, altering the perception of the children enough to make them think that the fire alarms had gone off, as opposed to the 'Holy shit here comes the brotherhood' alarm.

Managing to reach the ground with at least thirty children in tow, she announced that they were to assemble at the end of the football fields, and await her further instructions. This was NOT a drill, and anyone disobeying her would be in charge of polishing Mr Summers's visor for the next month. While he was wearing it.

Scott had instantly gone into leader mode the minute he realized what was going on. Running through the list in his head, he made notes.

He'd heard Mystique from the library but Kurt and Rogue were closer.

There were tell-tale claw marks scarring the school's walls. Sabertooth. Paige and Logan were in the Danger Room. He'd go there as soon as he made sure the children were safe.

Reachign the field, he saw Emma with a group of thirty scared looking children. "Emma! Where's Jean?"

	Not an answer to his spoken question, but Scott didn't need to worry about Paige at least. Because here she is, coming over the field with some more kids. "Mr. Summers, Ms. Frost." Hi. Yup...first names were disregarded in cases like this. Back to comfort grounds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hello Paige, dear...thank god, you found some..." Emma bundled the kids towards the others, raking her hands back through her hair and gathering herself. She slipped out of her diamond form, touching a small, hysterical child on the back of the neck, sedating him and picking him up easily as he passed out. No other children started to scream.

"Scott, Jean's inside. She's doing one last sweep for children...Mystique's in the library. Rogue and Mr Wagner are in there with her. Paige..."

She turned to the young blonde, resting a hand on her metallic shoulder and smiling. "I need medical supplies. You're practically invulnerable like that, can you head up to the attic and start throwing them down? I believe a broken window or two will be acceptable, considering the circumstances. There should be three white tents, and eight hard cases of supplies. Thank you, dear..."

Sure, she was a turmoil of stress and worry on the inside...but damn it, she'd run a school once.

	Paige nodded, giving Emma a soft smile before she twisted, running once more towards the mansion. Good thing she's been running so much, eh? She just hopes she can keep up the adamantium shell for as long as necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent)

"Okay good." Looking around, he did a brief mental calculation. "So basically, once Jean comes out, we should have all the younger children here."

"Are you going to be okay out here, Emma?" He knew that Paige was going to get supplies, excellent, but that meant only Logan and Remy were taking care of Sabertooth, and while he knew they could handle it, an extra hand couldn't help. "And can you do a sweep for me, see how Wolverine is? I thought I saw claw marks and if Sabertooth is here too.."

	Pete had been anxious to visit the Mansion, he never thought a pack of Sirens woulkd lead him there. Whatever was going on, It had drawn the attention of the local authorities. Swinging over the gates, he spotted Scott outside. "Need a hand Scott? I was in the neighborhood!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Peter!" He was surprised to see him, but glad at the same time. Rushing over to him, he grabbed the man by the shoulders and led him towards the group in the field. "Emma, I have to see how things are going with Wolverine. This is Peter. He'll help you out. If you need anything, send me a message." He knew he was leaving the children in good hands.

	Pete was a little taken aback, he hadn't expected Scott to use his real name in the introduction. Oh well, they would all likely found out soon enough, and Peter wasn't a complete giveaway. "Soooo, umm, hey, how's it going. I'm Spiderman..." He extended his hand to the somewhat bewildered woman before him. "What's happening here?" (Reply to this)
