In the Blackbird on the way to France, Angie is a little overawed, Kurt reassures her, and Scott and Sam banter. A few of the more serious details of the mission are touched on as well, of course. Between the bantering.

I do not understand why some of my classmates think you do not have a sense of humour. )

The team arrives at a farmhouse outside Toulouse and meet the Courchesnes. They find out that the pickup isn't going to be as simple as it was supposed to be. There is some 'selling' of the school left to be done, both to Eliane (the pyrokinetic they're supposed to be picking up) and her parents, but they manage it quite nicely.

Am I really to ride across the ocean in that? )

Eliane's brother Fabrice arrives home, and turns out to be violently opposed to the idea of his sister going to school in the United States. (Yes, violently.) Scott tries to reason with him. It doesn't go well. Sam and Kurt remove him from the premises in an attempt to continue reasoning with him in a more vigorous fashion.

You will not take my sister away! )

Inside the house, Scott's without his glasses, the Courchesnes are a little stunned, and Angie gets to play Scott's eyes. Blind or not, Scott very quickly figures out the problem. Outside, Sam and Kurt deal with the very agitated Fabrice. A serious opponent he is not, and some teamwork allows the two X-Men to subdue him without doing him any harm.

Some things crossed the language barrier, and he imagined that whatever it was Fabrice was shouting, it wasn't exactly language that his mother would be proud of. )

Eliane comes out to talk to her brother, if by 'talk' one means 'tear strips off him with great gusto and consummate style'. Fabrice is very, very repentant. The elder Courchesnes are very sorry for not having been honest about the situation, but Scott realizes that Charles must have suspected something.

Did you ask? Did you stop to ask before you blew Mother's guest into the china cabinet! You fool! You brainless ape! )

On the plane back, Angie and Eliane bond a little, and Scott delivers a well-deserved 'good job' to all three of his teammates.

I think she will fit into the mansion well. )
