"You can!?" She asked an expression of absolute hapiness over her face.
"Aha, so he does live here. Yes he came, and it wasn't exactly welcome. I thought I could keep the whole thing a secret. Now I'm kinda glad he came." She frowned a little. "Where exactly is he? I kinda figured I'd run into an adult or two once in a while."

Ray laughed; "Yeah, I can," he said, "The Prof.? Yeah, he lives here. But he's been out a lot. ya know, sorting out the Apocalypse fiasco and all that..." he laughed; "Don't worry, there're adults around, but They're all busy. Hank's the most hands on though, since he can't leave the Institute a lot. He's a pretty cool guy, he helps me stock up on Hot Pockets," again, a light laugh. "I dunno where he's at, though, he might be down in his labs, or reading some uber-thick book about some philosopher," he shuddered; "Dunno why he's into all that complicated stuff. But the dude's a genius, so yeah..."

"Why can't he leave the institute?" She asked in a concerned tone. Was he hurt? Maybe the institute was holding a convicted felon mutant... Doubtful considering it was sort of a school.
She pushed off the wall with her feet and slammed into the side of his chair. "Oops, sorry." She apologized with a sheepish smile.

Ray laughed as he was scooted a few feet away, then scooted his way back over, bumping into her as he did; "Hank's uh... he's um," Ray looked up as he tried to find the right words. Finally, he looked at Paige again; "Well, he's got exterior mutations. He's blue, and kinda looks like a gorilla. But not really!" he added quickly; "Just his arms are longer and he hunches over when he walks."
He looked at her with a sly girn; "And like you meant you were 'sorry'," he said, and with his barefoot he nudged he away, sending her into a spin.

"Ooooooh!" She started to say and then yelled as she was spun away. "Oh your g
onna get it mister." She scolded and pushed off the wall to come slamming back into his chair. "That'll teach yah." Paige announced as if it was a giant rebellion that she had single handedly won.

Ray yelped as he went all to the other side of the deck, colliding with a switchboard. Luckily, nothing came on and he didn't mess anything up. He was afraid for a moment, then laughed, pushing himself back over. But as he collided, he fell out, taking Paige with him so that they landing precariously on the floor, his gatorade getting knocked over and spilling all over the carpet.
"Ow crap!" Ray exclaimed, for a moment winded. Then, looking, he saw how he had landed above Paige. He blushed a furious red, trying to scramble to his feet while helping her up at the same time; "I... I uh..." Crap! he thought. This doesn't work out!

Paige could feel her face heating up, and she would have been entirely red were it not for the glass skin. Poor Ray however... "Uh, heh..." She bit her lip and gave him a nervous smile. "Hi Ray, how are you today?"

Sam walked into the danger room control room and looked down at them... This was wrong.. It was.. Was... Ontop of his sister!
Sam paled and went wide eyed. "WHUT THE HECK!!" He blurted out with and stalked over to them. He ripped Ray off of her and slammed him up against the glass looking over the danger room. “Whut the heck do yah think yur doin’!?” He yelled and gave Ray a cold stare.

((ahhh sry Sam didn't see yur post! ok editted!)
Ray jumped up, faster than he intented, and stumbled back, landing in a chair. He stared at Sam, then down at Paige, and he paled. Crap crap crap crap crap! Ray thought.
"Sam I swear on my mother's grave it was an accident!!!!" He said; "We were spinning in the spinny chairs and it turned into a some bumper car thing and we ended up colliding and that was my fault!" he took in a deep breath; "C'mon man I would never do anything like that!"
He shuddered a little afterwards. He wouldn't have been able to live with himself even if he thought it. Ray was just that type a guy.
"Sam, come on," He said again, this time voice controlled and low, serious; "I was raised better than that."

"SAMUEL GUTHRIE, LET GO AH HIM RAIGHT NOW!" Paige screamed her accent slipping, and grabbed Sam's shoulder. "It was an accident, We fell outta the chairs." She couldn't even look at Ray right now. First the awkward fall had been, well awkward, but now Sam thought... ugh.

Ray put his hands on Sam's shoulders, staring him hard in the eye; "I got too much respect for your sister to even think that kinda crap," he said. "Sam, let me go."
But he knew he had messed up with two relationships.

Sam kept a cold serious look on his face and stared at Ray. "If yah evah." He said and let go of Ray. "Do anythin'" He said and stared at him. "Like tha' again." He said with his hands in fist's. "I sweah I'll kill yah." He said and kept his eyes on Ray.
"Paige are yah okay?" He asked and looked over at her, completely ignoring what ever Ray was saying, For all Sam knew Mr. Respect here could be high right now.

Paige glowered at Sam. "Yeah Ray, make sure you never accidentally fall off a chair again. Cuz Sam'll kill yah." She retorted. "Am I okay? You just went awol here and you think that I might possibly be close to okay!?" She shook her head. "NOW AH'M NOT OKAY, and it isn' his fault eitha." She spat and stormed out of the control deck.

Ray stared at Sam dejectedly. How come whenever he told the truth, no one believed him? How come when he tried to explained, no one listened? Suddenly he was ten, back in a group home, about to run.
The instinct that drove him to run then was nudging him twoards the door, though he fought to stay put. he wouldn't abandon this situation, he wasn't about to cop out of this. He hadn't done anything wrong on purpose, he had explained himself, and now it was Sam's ignorance that stopped him.
But Sam had a right to not trust Ray. Sam had caught him trying to do a very deviant act, and Sam knew about Ray's wildside. Of course he'd be protective of Paige, Ray wasn't a good influence. But hadn't he chilled out over the past year? He thought he had, he thought he did, and he thought he was.
Ray was confused. He was utterly trapped between a conflict of options.
Fight, or Flight.
He looked over at X23, not really caring how or why she'd come upon the scene when she did. He wanted to go over to her and explain, knowing she would listen to him and believe him, but he was rooted to the spot.
He just didn't know what to do.
"Paige..." he called out to her weakly, but didn't follow her. He'd screwed up, and he needed to talk to Sam.
