Autumn sat down as well, absently checking her phone for messages. It wasn't unheard of for agents on vacation to get messages from their assets or from other handlers.
|
Autumn had two texts, both from Pietro.
I may have to kill this new handler. I will have help too. She pissed off Logan. |
Autumn blinked. Okay, now she had to do some serious damage control.
I will take Logan off of the active roster for the next decade if he tries. Although she didn't threaten Pietro, interestingly enough. What happened? |
She's an idiot. A slow idiot. A slow idiot who told Logan off for having beer in the morning and upset one of his girls. Because it was commonly known amongst the mutants that Logan was just a big sap and any kid under the age of 16 (or sometimes over) was under his protection. Especially the girls.
|
Autumn didn't respond for a moment, just sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose.
Who did she upset, and how? |
Kitty. I didn't see what happened, I just heard the growling. Pietro shrugged. This idiot has to go.
|
Autumn sighed.
Let me handle it. Getting up, she moved away from the table for a bit of privacy, and started going through her contacts. First order of business: corral Logan. She dialed his number, since he didn't care for texting. |
Alexis noticed what was going on and grimaced in sympathy, pulling out her phone and texting Coulson that the temp handlers were not working out at all. Meaning she'd probably have to go back to New York, if only to keep the Avengers from rioting or something.
|
After calling and placating Logan, Autumn sighed.
"Sorry," she said, going back to the table. "I have to take care of some things quickly. I think I have to head back to the hotel early." |
"Need any help?" Alexis asked with a little frown. Yup, she knew exactly how this went, seeing as two of her team were sitting with her now even though they weren't supposed to be.
|
"So far, not yet," Autumn said, sending off a few messages. "But I'll let you know."
|
"Please do. If there's anything I can do..." Alexis raised her eyebrows at Autumn.
|
"I'll speak up," Autumn promised. Getting up, she headed back to the hotel so she could change and them make some calls.
|
Alexis watched her go and sighed. Well, in a perverse way, she was glad she wasn't the only one having problems, but she also felt bad for Autumn.
|
Once Autumn was back in her room, she changed out of her dress and then dug out her work cell phone. The first person she called was Charles, to figure out what exactly was going on.
|
"Hello, Autumn," Charles greeted, sounding a bit tired. He was having to deal with the fallout from this as well.
|
"Hey, Professor," Autumn replied. "I hear there have been some issues with my substitute."
|
"Yes," he agreed. "There have. I think we've all become used to dealing with you, although she is... less than knowledgeable."
|
"I've heard," Autumn said. "I've already talked to Logan, so there shouldn't be any problems with him." She sighed. "Are there any other problems I need to be aware of, aside from Logan and his typical temper?"
|
"No explicit problems, but I believe this temporary handler is wearing at everyone's patience," Xavier said, not discounting himself from that statement.
|
"Alright," Autumn said. She ran her schedule in her head briefly. "I'm still here for a few more days, but I can take some things back over from here. I'll contact my substitute, let her know that she's only in charge of paperwork from here on out. Any other problems will reroute to me. Any emergency situations arise that need X-men intervention will be reported to me, and I'll decide what happens from there."
|
"Good." Charles nodded. "I do apologize for interrupting your vacation, I know you had been looking forward to it."
|
"Believe it or not, someone interrupted before you did," Autumn said, grinning wryly. "Alexis's assets got impatient first, and Stark and Barton showed up earlier."
|
"They did?" Xavier sounded surprised. "Well, well." He smiled a bit. "Is there anything else you need at the moment? I can keep everyone under control until your scheduled return."
|
"No, I think that's it," Autumn replied. "Keep me posted if anything happens, if you can?"
