Tabitha had actually woken up before noon. And on a Saturday no less. With a glance at the small clock on her nightstand, she saw that it was actually quite early; seven-thirty to be exact. Groaning, she rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. No such luck. With a glare at the clock, as if it was to blame, she stood up, stretching.
Stepping out into the hall, she tried her best to keep quiet, not wanting to wake any of the others; well, mainly Wanda, cause she'd most likely murder her. So, as quiet as she could, Tabby made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, intent on making some coffee.
That plan was quickly thwarted though, seeing as how the coffee pot was no longer around. Annoyed, Tabby went over to the fridge, praying that there was something, anything in there that could tide her over for a few hours. Again, no such luck.
Slamming the fridge door, she flinched, remembering she was trying to keep quiet. With a sigh, she went through every single cabinet until she finally came upon a half empty box of cheerios. Better than nothing, I suppose.
So, with box of cereal in hand, Tabby made her way into the living room. Plopping down on the couch, she grabbed the remote, turning the television on and flipping through the channels. Cartoons, cartoons, news, cartoons...
"Cartoons it is." Tabby decided, tossing the remote aside and fishing her hand into the cereal box. At least they're not stale.

Austin was out for his early-morning flight when he noticed a beat down and remembered someone told him that a mutant named Tabitha sorta lived their. He also remebered that she was one of Lexa's friends. so he decided to drop by. He snuck into the back door of the house and stumbled upon the girl on the couch watching cartoons and eating cereal like a child no less.
"Your a friend of Lexa's right. Um..Tabithat Smith, am I correct?" he asked

Tabby was so wrapped up in Spongebob that she barely heard the back door open. However, she just shrugged it off as one of the guys or Wanda and stuck her hand in the box of cereal, pulling out another handful.
Not a minute later, a voice filled the room and Tabby's head snapped to the guy standing in the doorway; he was definitely not a Brotherhood member. Going on the defense, Tabby created a small bomb, but quickly tossed it out an open window after deciding that she ought to at least hear the guy out; which was a first for her.
"Geez, ever heard of knocking?" Tabby asked, relaxing back into the couch as she eyed the guy suspiciously. "Who are you, anyway? And how do you know my name?" It wasn't like she thought the guy was a danger, if she thought that, he wouldn't be standing there.

"Oh, where are my manners. My name's Austin but you can call me Gust, Ms. Smith." he said with a smil on his face. As he walked further into the house, he saw a huge messes everywhere. "This place is a dump." he mumurmured.
"Why do you hang out in a place like this?" he said sitting next to her on the couch.

Tabby watched the guy as if he was insane. He must be new around here to just waltz into the Brotherhood home like he owned the place; that or he was just stupid.
"Because I can." Tabby responded as if that was the most obvious answer in the world. "And just why are you here...Gust, was it?"

"Well, I came to see you. Lexa told me you two were friends, and guy needs frends. So I guess you can say I came to make friends." he said with a hug smile on his face. "So who else lives here besides you?" he asked as he looked around.

Lexa? Who the heck is Lexa? This guy must be nuts. "Friends? Good luck with that." Tabby told him, turning her gaze back to the television. The guy seemed ok, a little out of it maybe, but ok nonetheless.
"Avalanche, Toad, Quicksilver, Blob, and Scarlet Witch." She answered his question, then shoved some more cheerios into her mouth. "Want some?" She asked, holding the box out to him.

"Thanx. So are your room mates mutants too? What are their powers? And why do they live outside the Xavier House and in this dump?" he asked excitiedly. He was always anxious to meet for people with powers like him since their was very little like him in London.

"Woah, slow down there." Tabby laughed, looking over at him again. "Yeah, we're all mutants. As for their powers? I'm gonna let you find that one out on your own." She smirked, figuring someone was likely to wake up soon; and she may not have taken the guy out, but that didn't mean one of the others wouldn't.
Tabby sighed at his final question. "That's a long story, one I'm not really in the mood to explain." She informed him, turning her gaze back to the television once more. "You'd be better off asking someone over at Xavier's."

Tabby just waved off his apology. "My power?" She asked, smirking. Tabby created one of her time bombs and held it in her hand for him to see. Then after a few seconds, she tossed it out the window where it promptly exploded, just like the previous one.
Tabby had kind of forgotten that it was eight o'clock in the morning and that Wanda would most likely murder her if she was the cause of her waking up at such an early hour. "So, what's your power?"

"Oh, nothing special." he said as he began to float. "Just control over the winds and air currents." he said smilling as he floated back down.

"That's pretty cool." Tabby said after he landed on the couch again. It was quiet for a minute or two after that as Tabby redirected her attention back to the television. Spongebob was just about over, most likely indicating that it was now 8:30. She sighed, wondering what time the others would be making their way downstairs.
"Sooo, you always go around breaking and entering? Or should I feel special?" Tabby asked as the credits rolled and some commercials came on.

"Well, back in London, yeah broke and entered my friends house, I hope I said that right." he said floating upwards again. "So, when are your friends going to wake up?" he said floating higher

"You could get in trouble for that here." Tabby informed him, then thought better of it. "Well, not here here, but I wouldn't go around doing it anywhere else."
She watched him float upward again, shrugging at his question. "It's hard to tell." This was true, no one around the Brotherhood normally woke up that early on a Saturday; or maybe they did, Tabby didn't know, She at least never usually woke up this early.
