 Coming to a halt outside, she just... gawked as she looked at the workers. "...what in the name of...?" |

 "My my, they arrived a lot sooner than I thought...guess that extra bonus in their paychecks helped." Giggled a deep voice.  As the woman stepped on the construction sight. |

Swiftly, she shot a look towards this stranger. "...who are you?" "...the owner of the field."  Following closely after her was Logan, rubbing his neck. "...Logan...?" She shot a look at the woman. "...what's that supposed to mean?" |

She smiled at Ororo and held out her hand. "Emma Frost. The newest member of the X-Men, and I suppose sponsor would also fit as well. Nice to meet you..." |

"...wait... newest member...?" Looking at her hand, he looked back at Logan. "...what's this all about?" "...you'll have to ask Hank about it..." He looked at the construction workers. "...still... they got to work fast..." Again, she looked back at Frost. "...care to explain this?" |

 "You rang?" Speaking of Hank, he stepped out...in a large trench coat and a hat for the sake of not spooking the workers. "So, this is the person who sent the message, huh Logan?" "Ah yes, I will have to explain myself..." She said. A few moment later... Beast held the deed in his hand with widened eyes. "...you're not lying." "I'm not. That seal and signature are both genuine, believe me..." She smiled. "Which effectively makes me the landlord." |

 And while they were speaking, Rogue stepped outside after what she saw on security images. And her jaw gaped, on the verge of anger. |

"...well... isn't that convenient." Ororo remarked, as she looked over the deed as well. "...and... about this "newest member of the X-Men"... is this your leverage?" "...look, it might seem sudden, but she's serious about this." Logan remarked, as he walked over to Ororo and Hank to whisper. "...she's even interested in Cerebro..."She blinked upon hearing that. |

"What? But why? It's useless withou..." "Without a telepath?" "!" "Oh, sorry. Force of habit...and even after I promised not to pry into minds..." She looked aside. "...tch, all this just to join the team? This is pretty staggering alright..." |

"Too staggerin'," she hissed, crossing her arms. If she could, she could drain her and see what she REALLY wants. But...her powers are unstable at the moment... |

"Hrm..." He looked over at the group. Like he figured, they didn't seem too trusting... "...hm..." She looked Emma over, eyes narrowing lightly. "...I'm inclined to agree... quite staggering, at such a convenient time... if you were interested in joining the team, why not sooner?" |

"I saw no reason to. You all had the support of two powerful psychics at the time; Professor Xavier and Jean Grey. I was leagues under their skill. Besides, until over a year ago, I was nowhere near Bayville." She said. "Huh..." |

Double huh. Just sounds fishy to her. |

Yup... didn't seem like there was much trust. With another hum, she just folded her arms. "...I see..." Glancing to the side, she thought about it. "...there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about this. You've bought the deed, you're rebuilding the manor, you use that to join our ranks." As she spoke, she looked back at Emma with a serious look. "Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear though, Miss Frost... no amount of money could ever buy you into the X-Men. If you truly wish to be a member of the team, then show it through your own honest merits, not by the size of your wallet." |

"Goodness me. you don't seem approve of my methods. Though I honestly can't blame you..." She smiled a bit, before she looked serious. "...don't worry. I'm not here just to wave my credit cards in your faces. When everything is set, I fully intend to prove myself through my own actions." She turned to the construction sight. "Well, good, I suppose..." He looked aside. "At the very least, we can use Cerebro to find our old allies a lot quicker." |
