Amadeus opens the door to the Rec room and then heads inside. He pulls a six pack out of the mini fridge. For the most part since Xavier wasn't around no one was there to watch over him and make sure he didn't do things like that. He opens one and takes a drink. Then he starts racking up the balls. He tosses a pool Cue to Jon and then lights a cigar.
"You break."

Jon catches the cue without really paying attention, "Sounds like a plan," he says, and then begins to rack up the balls.
Taking a second to line up his shot, he breaks, but nothing goes in.
"Damnit," he says, tossing the cue back to Deus, "you're up."

He walks around the table a bit and lines up a shot. He takes it and misses. He blows the smoke he had taken in out and tosses the cue back.
"Man, Wanda coming along put such a wet rag on my training. It's none of her concern what I do or how I do it."

Jon just looked at Deus, "Well, neither of us are exactly Mr. Friendly when it comes to what we can do," he says, "and to be honest, we have been a little hard on the grounds recently..." he sorta drifted off after that, not really wanting to continue.

"Yeah, but we always fill in the holes and plant more grass."
He looks out the window as he takes another swig of his beer. This meant that the left side of his face was towards Jon. His eyepatch had two words on it. 'Game Over.'
He turns back with the cigar in the corner of his mouth.
"Plus, you've seen what I can do to the danger room, and none of those blasts were as powerful as the last one."

"Yes, but the Danger Room is designed to be trashed, the outside grounds," he pauses for a second, "not so much. We need to start being more careful. Especially if things keep sliding the way they're sliding."
He sighs, and leans against the wall, "This place still needs to remain a secret. Even if everyone who comes here somehow knows we're mutants..." he drifts off, remembering all the time when people just somehow knew the secret of the mansion walking in.
"No wonder Professor Magnus wants to go..." he mutters out loud...completely by mistake...

Amadeus sighs and nods in agreement as he heads back to the table. Jon had a point, and one that this man couldn't find any way to argue against other than he just felt better outside, but that was not a real reason.
"Maybe we just need to create the right program..."
He lines up another shot and right as he hits the ball he ends up realizing what Jon had said. He looks up not watching the ball bounce off a bumper and go in.
"Go? As in leaving? How would you know that?"
He moves around to line up his next shot and takes it, missing. He tosses the cue back.

Jon catches the cue in mid-air, and floats it toward him, "You mean you never noticed the secret meetings? The midnight runs to the machine shop? The late night training sessions?" he knew Deus wasn't dense, and he never treated him like he was.
To be honest...maybe he'd come with...it was worth a shot.

"I did, but I always figured it wasn't any of my business. After all I wasn't invited into the super-secret mutant-mouseketeers."
He chews on the end of his cigar a bit and blows a smoke ring as he considers his next words. After a good drink of beer he looks down at Jon with his one eye. As the next words come out of his mouth they are cold and edgy.
"So, I'm figuring you and Gale are going too."

"As of right now," he confirms.
Jon paces for a minute or so, then looks back at Deus, "I just feel like I could do so much more out there, fighting the good fight, all that jazz," he wasn't going to give the speech, he hated the speech, it served no real purpose.
"And to be honest, I would like it if you came with us."

"I can't Jon, you know that."
He bites down on his cigar hard. He wasn't really sure this was happening yet.
"And I'm not sure how you can abandon everyone here like that. You can't protect these kids if you're out there. And I'm not sure that Magnus is really going to fight the good fight. At least here following Cyclops I know we're not gonna cross any lines we shouldn't. No matter how much of a drag he may be he keeps us in check."
Bits of spark started to jump across his clothes.

"I'm not abandoning these kids man," replies Jon, "I want to prevent anything that could bring them to harm from ever reaching these doors. Can't do that cooped up in here, and you know that. We need to be fighting the good fight! We need to be doing more than sitting on our asses contemplating our navels damnit!"
The room slowly began to shake, objects on the shelves began to rattle, and even a nearby vase imploded.
Jon stopped and took deep breath, and the shaking subsided.

"And when trouble does come to these doors, you wanna chase it down after it levels the mansion?! You know that Xavier isn't ignoring what's out there! Why the hell do you think he'd keep people like me around? Logan and Scott don't need TA's man. The old man's got something planned himself! He gave me a fucking second chance, do you think I'm going to throw that away because he isn't being as rash as the other old man on campus?"
His own voice was rising, he started to unconsciously begin loosening up his muscles. His one hand actually idly checks to make sure he's got his knives and telescopic batons.

Jon saw his friend check his weapons, and he didn't care. If this came down to anything it'd be fists and powers, since the two were just too close on the abilities scale.
"Of course he has something planned, why do you think he brought Scott back? Or why do you think he even opened this damned school? It wasn't just to teach us control."

"Then why the hell are you spewing this gibberish? I trust Xavier, and that he's going to do something and do it right! Magnus has always been some freaked-out fanatic! I've been in his classes Jon, he's a few eggs short of a dozen!"
He actually wasn't planning on a fight yet, it was just natural reactions of his whenever tension built up anywhere. Jon had seen him doing things like this is Magnus's classes in fact, or even when Logan and Scott began bickering.
