Hawk hid in the air vents as Storm and Logan came into Storm's office. For her, eavesdropping was a cinch. The only reason she would ever get caught, would be saying something out loud. Then again, there was also the possibility of getting caught by using her telepathy if she wasn't careful- which she was, and then there was always the chance of Wolverine catching a whiff of her scent- but she was always in these air vents, eavesdropping on people when she shouldn't. Right now, her usual targets were talking about what had just happened outside the office, and there was no way she was going to miss this.

"I honestly don't know what happened, Logan," Storm said. "I was walking to my room- after I got on Hawk's bad side- to get ready, when I felt someone probing my mind."
"It had to be Hawk," Logan said. "If Hawk wanted to get inside my head, she could do it without my knowing; plus, she was texting someone when it happened- I heard her phone vibrate. And it wasn't the Cuckoos either. It..." she sighed. "It felt familiar, but... I don't know, I can't explain it."
"Are you sure you're alright?"
Storm gave him the look that most- not all, but most- people would back off on. Surprisingly for once, he actually did, and dropped the subject altogether. "So, are we still on for tonight?" He asked.
"Of course," she said, laughing. Then she looked up to the air vent. She would've sworn that there was just some movement there. When there wasn't, she shrugged. "I better go get ready."

Hawk had to cover her mouth to suppress a cry, gasp, giggle, or possibly all three. Storm looked her direction. Kriff!
After a moment, she turned back Logan, got up, and left. Logan followed. After a moment, Hawk grabbed her phone.

Rogue and Bobby were in the kitchen when they both received a text, and took out a phone to read it. Rogue gasped while Bobby looked at her for a translation. Hawk tended to use complete text talk and abbreviations, to the extent that most people would have to turn to her closest friends- Rogue, Kitty, and Jubilee- for translations. "Okay, is she saying that Storm and Logan are together?"
Rogue rolled her eyes. "Of course, she is! C'mon Bobby, even the slowest texter knows at least those two abbreviations. I'm bettin' she was eavesdroppin' on their conversation."

By mid-afternoon, all of the kids knew about the tried, and tried to hide the fact that they did- failing while they were at it. "Hawk was definitely eavesdropping," Storm said to Logan as they walked out into the carriage house.
"Yup. There's no way the kids would've found out this quickly without someone who eavesdrops for a livin' and can text up to ten people at a million miles an hour."

After the kids had taken over the mansion- with a few restrictions from Beast- Mystique wondered around her little prison. Nothing here but medical supplies. That was when she heard some of those kids coming down the hall. She shifted herself to look like Beast, and looked out the small window. The kids waved and Mystique waved in response- unhappily, but not letting it show. Then she walked out of the infirmary, shutting off the alarms and escaping through one of the secret tunnels that they had.
