Oracle snuck back in from the back yard, looking around cautiously. The students had begun to mingle again, slowly drifting out of the common room.
She had to find Sy. Colossus was still in town, but Sy.. she hadn't see all day.
Slipping between students, she asked occasionally in her thick russian accent. "Have you see Poseidon?"

(had a great paragraph before Jordan ERASED it. Fucker)
Like most of the students, Sy made his way to a window to watch the events taking place outside. Once again the X-men seemed to be more concerned with what might happen than with what was happening, letting one of their own be carted away by police rather than opening up with their gifts and taking out the cops. After the phone call from the Brotherhood, the god couldn't help but watch the scene with contempt for his fellow dieties.
As he heard Oracle's voice, he turned from his place and smiled. "Aqui, miss Oracle." He gave her a short bow and dug in his pocket for the phone. "I must thank you for the use of this," he said as he put it back in her hand, "I have been able to contact my friends and will be able to meet with them soon."

She smiled, curling her fingers around it. She wished for a fleeting moment their fingers might have touched. Poseidon was always so careful.
"Good... good." Oracle stepped closer to him, tucking them into a corner of the room to speak in relative privacy.
"When do you think you will go?"

Sy's smile softened a bit as she asked when he was leaving. He'd already grown so attached to the young woman that he hated to leave her here with all these false gods, especially when she was the one who had helped him find the Brotherhood. He would truly miss her.
"I meet them tommorrow at noon, in a large park in New York City." He watched her face as he gave her the news, wondering how she would react to it. "I was hoping you might accompany me, as I do not know my way around New York City. If it would not be an interuption to your own plans?"

Oracle smiled softly, pale pink eyes dashing out towards the others, then back to his.
"No... I have no plans. Save returning to Genosha."
Looking at the phone for a moment, she looked back up at him before speaking. Her accent faded away into a voice whose origins were far more difficult to determine.
"I can get us to the city and know where you'll be meeting. It would be my honor to escort you there, Poseidon."
Her light smile was warm. She definitely liked this one. He had tremendous potential.

Eyes widdened just slightly as her voice changed, and Sy studied her a moment before his face broke out into a grin. Not just an oracle then.
"I would be more than pleased for your presence. Perhaps you can tell me a little more about yourself on the way." He would be interested to know who this Oracle really was, and what her powers truly were, because she obviously was not the woman he thought her to be. It didn't cross his mind not to trust her anymore.

Oracle nodded. "Then we should be leaving soon. I am able to leave the moment you are ready. By sunset at the latest. You can do this?" Her smile spread across her face. Her delight in his decision was clear on her face.

Sy matched her smile, "of course I can do this. Give me a moment to get my things together." He gave her another bow and turned up the stairs to pack his single bag.
