Kari wasted no time tuning into the news and two her shock she found that the cause was that an entire neighbooring town had been obliterated. All that remained of it rained down all over the area. The ash clouds in the air were so thick that all commercial flight was grounded.
But even more upsetting she found the commentaries of the people being interviewed on the news.
"I bet it was one of them wild muties. They're always doing crazy stuff, we'd be better off exterminating them all." One of the men said the on site anchor-woman.
"People like that are the reason we can't even feel safe doing the most routine and mundaine tasks. They don't know what happened they just assume it was one of us and get their lynches ready. Damn those bastards..." Kari said clenching her fist.

Logan watched the news, horrified at the terrible destruction though his grim expression didn't show it.
"Cool it Kari" he said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "if we start attackin' the normal people then innocent mutants will suffer for it. The reason they hate is because humans fear the unknown, and what they don't understand, they tend to destroy."

"Imagine that... You of all people telling me to hold back. You and I used to be the first in line to punish them for this. Oh well... Knowing all the publicity this is going to get Bollivar Trask it probably gonna try to get mor funding for his sentinel project. that means, press conference." Kari felt beside herself once again. She was going to have to fill some shoes that she didn't feel at all prepared to fill.
"Xavier always handled these things. I guess now it'll be up to me to represent our kind. Which wouldn't be so bad if I couldn't shake the feeling that they're gonna eat me alive." This was not a nice prospect. If anything it was a nightmare.

"If they start rippin' into ya, I'll be right here beside you to shut 'em up" Logan replied, "bunch of hypocrites have the brass to call 'us' savages when they are the ones who start shit. A much younger me woulda given 'em a good whap upside the head."

"You know we can't use violence with them unfortunately that's pretty much the only marketable skills we have. Other than my singing of course which will be absolutely useless in that situation." Kari continued. "Either way I'm not looking forward to this, because everyone always wants to know what's the X-Men's OFFICIAL take on the matter." In all honesty Kari wanted to march down to capital hill attach a mutant amplifier to Nightcrawler and prod him with one of her tallons until the entire building was ripped apart by a wormwhole.

"Same here babe" Logan replied, "we should go get cleaned up and head over to the meeting. The sooner the better."

''You're right, we should face this head on. So, you ready to jump into the snake pit honey?'' Kari asked with a smirk on her face. She knew this was a serious matter but it was time for her to really prove herself worthy of being the X-Men's leader. She couldn't back down, too much was riding on it.

"Yep, bring on the snakes" Logan replied. He retrieved his jacket from his room and paused a moment to watch the ash still falling like snow. Hopefully there was some way to clean it up. Unlike snow, ash didn't melt.
