Hello, My Name Is...

Gabriel's wings flapped hard as he descended slowly from the sky.  He touched down rather gracefully, as one might not expect, and pulled his wings in from their sixteen foot span.  The mansion looked amazing from the ground level, much to his surprise.  He looked at the building, and then at a piece of paper clutched in his hand.  He had written down the location of the mansion after his brief conversation with Moira the Elder.  "This place should lead me to her..." he mumbled under his breathe as he stepped closer to the front door.  And then he stopped.

"Uh..." he began to fumble with his words and thoughts, even itching his bare foot on his leg while scratching his head (which was quite the odd pose), "Do I knock or just go inside?"

The grubby young man flinging a barrage of mud has not been looking up at the sky, and he certainly doesn't know anything about the security alerts going on. He's just trying his best to dirty up the target on the far side of where Gabriel has just arrived.

Oh the Twerp was going to get it. Maybe even go for a swim in the cold lake if Cait managed to catch him. Cait was wearing her favorite shirt and he had to go and get DIRT on it.

Cait pulled water out of the air and threw snowballs at her brother. He'd be lucky to not be water logged after this.

Alarms and balls of snow and mud. Gabriel was thrown off balance by the unexpected mud ball that pelted him along the back of the head, and the snowball that ruffled his feathers- literally. He knelt down with his hands to his ears and his wings were thrown out by reflex, His body trembled at the barrage of sound overloading his enhanced sense of hearing, and he grinded his teeth together to keep from yelling out in pain. All he wanted to know was whether he should have knocked or not? What in the HELL was wrong with this place?

Corey avoided most of snowballs leveled at him. Most.

"Oh, hercules," he cursed. He was wet. And cold. And were those alarms?

He's halfway from leveling an arch of earth toward Cait when he actually notices the guy in the way.

"Oh." Well, at least didn't look like a serious security breach. "Front gate was back that way, dude."

"By Jupiter's beard," Cait said as she threw up an ice shield to avoid the dirt coming at her. "Truce!" she yelled. It was the one word that would get them both to stop. They fought, but they fought fair. Most of the time.

Cait ran up to the stranger, with wings, standing at the front door. She pulled the water out of his fathers.

"Sorry about that."

"Nngh!" Gabriel let out, still clutching his ears to shield from the alarms beating down on him like needles. He felt the cold leave his wings, and flapped them rapidly to begin an ascent into the air. The cringed look on his face and his slightly shaky ascent were two dead give-aways that he wasn't dealing well with the noises. "P-please," he tried to get out his message, "T-the n-n-noise!"

Professor? Corey carefully concentrated his thoughts for the best pickup. Guy out here seems messed up by the noise. Might help to tone it down and either get staff out here or Cait and I'll bring him inside.

The noise is soon stilled, and Cait will hear the telepathic response as well.

I don't believe there's any serious threat, Cornelius. If the two of you would please escort him in.

"Of course Professor Xavier," Cait replied. "Sorry about that. Standard when we have unexpected company and sorry about the snowball," Cait said to the man hovering in the air. "If you'll come down, we'll escort you inside."

The noise subsided and Gabriel attained balance in the air. The beating of his wings was steady, and he released his ears from the powerful clamping of his own hands. A sigh of relief escaped him, and he replied to the older girl with, "It's fine, I guess. And thank you."

He was still a little shaky on feelings about the two youngsters, but the girl was kind enough to offer an apology and said the words he wanted to hear; that he would be escorted inside. "I guess I let the two of you lead the way then," he stated, and made a landing on the ground.

Corey nodded a little in agreement with Cait's assurances.

"For a less messy introduction: Cornelius Drake. Corey. This is Cait. And you are?" A thought he just can't help, considering the accent. "Dr. MacTaggart doesn't have more grandchildren we didn't know about, does she?"

"We're the unofficial welcoming committee," Cait smiled. "Welcome to mutant central."

"Not that I'm aware of, no," Gabriel told the boy, Corey. He gave the child an odd look and then directed his attention to the girl, Cait. "I'd hate to know what happens then people aren't welcomed then," he commented to her, noting the brief attack on his ears and the mud and snow that had been flung so wildly around him.

"Anyway," he said to move the conversation off that topic, "I am Gabriel. Dr. MacTaggert is not my mother, no. I'm here searching for my mother."

Corey nodded as they continued walking. "The Institute's got a pretty good rolodex. What have you got to go on?"

"I'm sure you're good kids and all," Gabriel began, "But I'd rather tell it to the guy in charge."

"Some of us aren't kids," Cait grumbled. Darn it. She was eighteen and legally an adult now.

"Hehe," Gabriel chuckled. He had obviously offended the both of them, and for that he would apologize. "Sorry," he then said, "But I would like to talk to Professor Xavier."

Even though they were supposed to be his welcoming committee, the two kids hadn't even opened the door for Gabriel. He walked forward and did so himself, and then stepped into the mansion himself. He stopped and looked back while holding the door open.

"You two coming?"

And the first thing he'll see when he enters the building is Lyta, walking down the stairs, ready to got out for a flight.

She was wearing a pair of jeans, and a sweatshirt accomadated for her wings to.

"Hey, Cait, Corey....who's the new guy?"

"This is Gabriel, He's here on grown-up business. Gabriel, this is Lyta Worthington." As they hadn't walked to the grounds to the door fast enough for Gabriel, Corey's quick to point out the appropriate direction and tell him which door it is before he goes gallivanting off ahead some more.

Cait understood impatience, but it didn't excuse a lack of manners. "New arrival. Who apparently is in a real hurry to see the Prof."

Gabriel stopped at the first glimpse of a woman with wings. His own pulle din tightly as an excited response; similar to a fist clentching. "Lyta Worthington..." he said, "Nice to meet you."

He held out his hand to her, for a handshake. He had never met another person with angelic wings like his own. As a result, his actions found themselves contradicting why he had come to the mansion in the first place. He had found something more interesting, for the time being.

"I see," Lyta took his hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you too."

"I think he's available," she said, not seeming to notice his eyes fixed on her wings. She's used to people staring. "I know Dad's supposed to be meeting with him, but not until this evening."

"All right. Well, again. That door, over there. Good meeting you. See you Lyta. Cait, I'm going to just dry off and look at my catalogs."

And Corey will wave and exit.

"Nice to meet you, Gabriel. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a shower and get this dirt off of me." She smiled and then made her exit.

Gabriel retracted his hand and watched as the two kids left. The boy was a little awkward, but the girl was polite. But they both had characteristics that he wanted his own son to have one day.

"So Lyta," Gabriel decided to strike up a conversation with the woman now that the children had left, "Who do you inherit your wings from?" He was curious, and a thought was rolling around in his head. Gabriel had always known who his mother was, but never knew his father. He shook his head though, and quickly interjected with, "No- nevermind. Don't answer that. Sorry."

He scratched his temple awkwardly, thinking of the reason he came here.

Lyta gave him a soft smile. "It's okay," she said, "They're pretty uncommon. My dad's Angel. I got them from him."

"I suppose we have that in common then," Gabriel replied, "My mother sure didn't give me wings. I don't know who my dad is, though. That's one reason why I need help finding my mother- so she can tell me who he is."

"I hope you find him, then." Lyta smiled. "I can see where you'd want some...closure with that, I guess."

"Closure?" Gabriel replied, "I want to open up a whole new chapter. I don't know-- it must sound crazy trying to get a broken family going again." But I need to do this. Without Alyssa...

"You want a relationship with him then?" She cocked her head to one side. Lyta never had to worry about this sort of thing. Her parents may have never gotten together, but it wasn't like Dad was never in her life or anything.

"Yeah, I guess so," he said. A smile cracked on his face as he thought about it. A man with no face flying beside him to Scotland. That man with no face even had the woman who was Gabriel's mother in his arms. "I've always had a vision about it," he continued, "Heck, I even think about him having other kids. I've always wanted a little sister."

"I'm an only child, too," she said, "It does get lonely sometimes. Though I grew up here, so there was never a dull moment. Though sometimes I'd get jealous of my friends with siblings."

"I know what you mean by loneliness," he commented. But Gabriel's feelings came from a wholly different subject. Then he shook his head and moved on with the conversation. "But that's why I am here- to find the missing pieces of my family. By any chance, have you heard of a woman going by the name of Callisto?"

Lyta shook her head. "I've maybe heard little bits and pieces about her, but I'm afraid that I don't know much about her, I'm afraid." She gave him a sympathetic look. "Sorry."

"Ah..." he replied, "Well then, have a nice flight. I'll go talk to this... Professor..." He gave Lyta a nod and walked in the direction Corey and Cait had earlier directed him to. Maybe he would see Lyta again soon.
