Sandy

Scott said he'd be there with information in five minutes. He was at the door, fully dressed and with his glasses replaced by a visor, in four. It took him that long to grab a cup of coffee and walk to the lounge where Sandy was waiting.

He got his debriefing on the move, and directly into his brain.

He felt better for having been looped in, however perfunctorily.

He walked in, and stayed standing up. Looked the guy over, and wondered why the hell this kid was the recon specialist and then moved on.

"New mutant manifested in Chicago. She's sitting in a jail cell, supposedly for her protection. We're going to get her. How long do you need to pack?"

"Library," he said firmly. Water wasn't really his thing, after all. Books he could do. Books were distracting. And maybe he'd find something he liked that he hadn't read. He probably still had at least thirty years left worth of books he hadn't read that he'd missed.

Bobby headed down the proper branch of the hall, toward a staircase, figuring Sand could keep up well enough and it would leave the elevator free in case it was needed by somebody downstairs, for more urgent business.

He didn't say anything else, just pushed open the door and waved Sand in. "Knock yourself out."

He sucked down the rest of his cup of coffee before looking over at Bobby.

"I won't wander," he promised as he started in towards the door, "and... let me know if you need anything?"

A moment passed before--

"Or if Allison wants me."

Things were scary and terrible enough without making it worse by having people disappear.

"I'll let Storm know where you are on my way out." She'd let Allison know if she wanted Sand.

He could hang around the library but - No, no wait, no he could not. He managed to work in an office a lot of the time, but he was worried and sitting down wasn't on his agenda. "Trust me, nobody's really gonna lose track of you in here, and I doubt even you'd get through the more sensitive areas of the school without somebody noticing."

He flashed a wry smile, lifted a hand and headed out.
