Start of the X-Men (IC)

[NiteCrowe]

Gambit speaks...or doesn't as the case turns out.

Gambit smiled, and was about to open his mouth to answer when Emma beat him too it.

What?!?! The Girl was another Mind reader? She was so good lucking as well. God he wasn't gonna have any secrets round here... now where was he gonna hide all his stuff.

He was about to say something, when another student... Alex he guessed, appeared beside him. He was about to say something when he caught Jubilee's eye and noticed something...

...This was getting too crowded for her....and she was getting agitated.

Then he noticed that Emma had noticed it as well. Hell he didn't even resist when she shoved them out of the room.

He simply grinned and turned to Alex, and was about to say something when the kid beat him too it.

At this rate he wouldn't be speaking for years.

He noticed a break and prepared to speak when the kid beat him too it and walked off.

Slighty confused at what to do, and looking between the now closed door and the departing alex, he couldn't help but lean against the wall behind him and raise a hand to his forehead.

'Kids,' He muttered, his hands absently shuffling a deck of cards, 'What has the Professor got dear old Remy into now. The Assassins's guild were easier than this, well mosta the time anyway.'

He stopped, realising that he was talking to know one.

'I need a drink, cos ol' Remy thinks he's going mad.'

 

[NiteCrowe]

Beast

Beast paused, as a knock could be heard, Smiling he turned from Ororo and Kurt and opened the door.

And was greeted by the site of what appeared to be another student...though this one seemed to be wearing metal.

'Please, tell me your the last student here...'

 

[NiteCrowe]

Xavier

Xavier put the phone down, hoping no-one else would call him.

Originally, it had being an old friend, Nick Fury of SHIELD ringing him to inform him of his brother's escape.

Then Logan had rang him to tell him about Joseph, whom Charles could feel arriving just then.

This call had being followed by two more, one from Moira checking on Jubilation, and the other being Alex's Parents.

Thankfully the phone didn't ring again.

Which left him to hope that Cain, wouldn't be up to his old tricks

Which he doubted, and meant he'd have to do something he hadn't being wanting to do for a few days.

He'd have to found his peacekeeping corps now...before Cain made an appearance.

Sighing he reached out to all of the minds in the university: Alex, Hank, Remy, Joseph, Ororo, Kurt, Emma and Jubilation.

~~THIS IS PROFESSOR XAVIER, PLEASE MAY EVERYONE COME TO MY OFFICE IMMEADIATLY~~

 

[CountV]

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler

Instantly and glad to find something to entertain myself with I bampf away

BAMPF!

BAMPF!

only to suddenly appear again "where is ze Proffesor's office?"

 

[HeartBomb]

Ororo Munroe / Storm

Ororo managed to listen quietly as everyone took their turns greeting and ultimately leaving. Throughout Charles Xavier’s welcome and introduction and during the exchange between Dr. McCoy and Kurt was it? She was still in awe, the university was magnificent and it seemed to bustling. No longer did she feel apprehensive about her decision she was full of something more along the lines of anxious. Anxious to begin her work…her self-discovery. Also she was quite enthusiastic about developing relationships here.

More students? Ororo’s smile returned and she turned to greet the new arrival. Prepared to extend her hand, regurgitate a formal greeting…she felt it…a voice…inside of her head. There was no way she was going to get used to this.

~~THIS IS PROFESSOR XAVIER, PLEASE MAY EVERYONE COME TO MY OFFICE IMMEADIATLY~~

“Does he do this all of the time? I’m certain he’s heard of PA system…correct?” Did she make a funny? She felt she made a funny and that funny made her feel good. Her cultured voice contained a low, musical quality that fell easily on the ears. Also watching Kurt disappear into an ominous cloud of smoke was doing very little to sooth her nervous system.

"Where is ze Proffesor's office?"

Ororo giggled. Kurt was quite a character. Very interesting at that much like everyone else she had the extreme pleasure of meeting today. Perhaps she could introduce herself properly later on. Maybe even display a little of the power she had. She wanted to speak to Xavier about that. About her potential to grow. About her limits. At this point she was able to handle a good rainstorm and she could handle lightning rather well. Extending the minutes she was able to last a good three minutes without exhausting herself too much. Anything beyond that she was certain would make her pass out. As it had before. Thus far she hadn’t come across a good reason to use her powers. Just a fog every now and then to escape anti-mutants other than that her own strength was enough.

broadcast

Beast paused, as a knock could be heard, Smiling he turned from Ororo and Kurt and opened the door.
And was greeted by the site of what appeared to be another student...though this one seemed to be wearing metal.
'Please, tell me your the last student here...'

Upon the opening of the door and the unexpected reply from a big hairy blue man- I open my mouth to speak and my control over the trunk wavers slightly as a calm male voice invites "everyone" into his office. my silver eyebrows raised even further at the sight before me.
Two blue figures stood in the entryway, though the other smaller and with a tail? *bampf* the one with the tail disapeared!
off to one side I notice a beauty with fine ivory hair more luscious than my own.

Still standing on the porch I look around curiously and allow my trunk to settle as I introduce myself to the room. " My name is Jospeh. Logan sent me to find the professor Xavier. I am supposed to give him this." I say, holding up a minalla folder.
*bampf* blue-tail is visible again. I wonder why that strange sound when he goes invisible?

“Does he do this all of the time? I’m certain he’s heard of PA system…correct?”
My startled visage smooths into a smile.
Assuming that she heard precisely what I heard, and judging from the "everyone" in Xaviers sentence I gather that he is broadcasting with his mind!
well, Logan tried to warn me.

Taking my cue from the larger of the two blue, I follow congenially through the marvelous wooden halls. noticing metal fibers where I can. and noticing also that little is as it seems.
"this place is not at all what I expected."


OOC: please disregard the pink power lines in the attached pic.
thank you!

 

[CountV]

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler

" My name is Jospeh. Logan sent me to find the professor Xavier. I am supposed to give him this."

"Hello" I say "I'm Kurt Vagner but in the circus of munich I vas known as ze amazing Nightcrawler. I've been trying to find the Proffesor too, it seems ve have to vait until dinner"


“Does he do this all of the time? I’m certain he’s heard of PA system…correct?”

I laugh for a second "Mind yes, but if you have it might as well use it and show it, if not it would be like me using an elevator, or you vearing clothes that hid your figure... vhat are your abilities again?"

I follow Beast as he goes towards the office

"this place is not at all what I expected."

"Vell, I've been clueless since I got here, and still hoping for clarification"

 

[xPureAdorationx]

I had to concentrate to link myself to the professor's mind. It woud have been impossible, but he recognized me somehow and let me in. I took a look at his surroundings and with a quaint nod I smiled.

Thanks you professor I'll be down with Jubilee in a moment

I looked at jubilee disappointed I hadn't gotten the chance to see the fireworks.

"Jubilee I hate to cut you off, but the professor needs us in his office. It seems urgent and I think you're power is as much needed as every other mutant in this house. Plus with my abilities I can make the blast even more sufficient."

I smiled assuringly and took her hand taking her with me to the office. It didn't take me long, but it seemed as though we were early or we just weren't as confused as everyone else.

"Professor I'm glad to say that I've made another friend in this wonderful place. Though I think Jubilee is the one I'll confide in the most." I smiled at her, but awaited the important announcements.

 

[Irish_Queen]

Jubilee let herself be dragged around the building by her new friend until Emma dragged them into a office with the professor sitting wait for us to arrive. Emma said something but Jubilee didn't catch it as she was till trying to orint herself to the building around her

 

[xPureAdorationx]

I put my hand on Jubilee's shoulders realizing that might have been a little to subtle for here.

"Sorry about that, didn't mean to pull you on a leash."

 

[NiteCrowe]

Beast smiled and motioned for Joseph, Ororo and Kurt to follow him.

On the way, he mentioned to Kurt, 'Kurt, don't use your powers all the time, just becuase you have them doesn't mean you have to use them.'

He chuckled and opened a door which led to a room which contained Emma, Jubilee and Charles.

He nodded and jumped to the ceiling, where Charles had placed a metal hanging bar for him to hang from.

'Hmm, I Guess Gambit and Alex will be here in a minute...'

 

[CountV]

'Kurt, don't use your powers all the time, just becuase you have them doesn't mean you have to use them.'

"I don't have too, it's fun... also it has given me alot of training as to how zey work."

As we enter the office I smile at the proffesor and the 2 ladies there.

"See, like vhen you jump on zat bar Beast"

 

[xPureAdorationx]

I stood there beside Jubilee watching as beast jumped onto the bar.

So that's what it's for.. I thought to myself.

I gave a small nod in greetings to both Ororo, Kurt and Beast. It was upsetting that men...and boys..outnumbered our small group of girls. It was hard to imagine what this could be. I wasn't sure if there was trouble, if this was a greeting, or if one of our parents had problems. I left it all alone trying not to complicate my thoughts any longer.

 

[EnigmaRen]

Havok

So much for nice long hot shower. As Alex crossed to the other side of his room he gathered his clothes, preparing for his departure. A hint amusement tugged at the corner of his mouths. If he wasn’t a gentleman he’d gladly go the meeting in the “altogether” however it was already apparent he was capable of making people uncomfortable just by being around.

What was with that girl? It still nagged him. It may not be entirely his fault. But still this wasn’t such a bad place, she made it seem more like prison and he was curious to know why. But pestering her would get him nowhere. Not the mention the girl she was with seemed to guard her with all the determination of a pit-bull. There was something about her too. Underneath all the layers of polite smiles and gestures of kindness. Alex wasn’t sure but he felt like there was more than meets the eye. Maybe a shady past. A few skeletons in the closet.

Tugging on a fresh pair of khaki’s and a black-and-beige short-sleeve polo shirt, Alex quickly combed through his golden hair as he rushed down toward the Professor’s office. “Hope I didn’t miss anything…” Alex chime din flashing a pearly white smile.

 

[xPureAdorationx]

I looked up wondering where this guy was from. It looked as though hollister or american eagle had decided to dump one of their models here so they could do better shoots for mutant clothing. I had to surpress a smile. Though I gave him a quaint smile to address the fact he was here.

This was quite an interesting ensemble they had though really I wasn't sure what my interests were. I knew Gambit had a hold on my thoughts, but Alex tugged at my curiousity as well. Then again I was here for a reason and I needed to stay focused. Perhaps laying low and settling my attention on Jubilee's comfort was best. I sighed disappointed at the fact I actually wanted to be responsible. Then again I decided perhaps love would come to me if I did the right thing. I nearly scoffed. Though I made up my mind, my new little sister was more important than a new love life....of course...I can't promise anything..slipping is expected.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Xavier reveals all...

Smiling, Xavier watched as they all entered, and even raised an eyebrow to kurts Comment.

'Kurt, Hank uses his powers to remain nimble and fit, and also becuase he can't choose not use them. I'm sure you are the same with you're tail, but what Hank meant was that if you keep using your powers you'll end up not being used to use your muscles. For example if i was to use my powers all the time, i'd probably become corrupt and rule the world.'

He smiled as Gambit entered.

'Also Kurt, there aren't enough chairs for Hank to sit down' He pointed out.

'Anyway, Welcome to the School. I am Charles Xavier, and before you ask Joseph, I've already being contacted by logan, though i wouldn't mind that file later on.' He smiled, 'Anyway, I Suppose i had better introduce you all...'

'The Blue man hanging from the ceiling is Hank, aka Beast, his powers are exactly what you see. The Man with Red eyes is Remy, aka Gambit, and he has the power of kinetic manipulation....

Ororo has the powers of weather manipulation...

Kurt, apart from his appearance, is a teleporter...

Emma, has two powers, mind reading and a diamond like form...

Alex, can convert solar energy into destructive blasts...

Jubilation, well i struggle to describe her mutation, so lets just say that she can create fireworks.

Joseph, I believe, has the power of magnetic manipulation.

Now, this school has three purposes...Firstly to allow you all as mutants, to understand and learn to use your powers and understand your limits.

Secondly, You are hear to learn what can only be described as degree's, though this will be different to the usual approach.

and finally for those whom agree, is be part of a peacekeeping team. Though mutants are a rare occurance, several are misguided and criminalistic. We need to do our best to keep these mutants out of the publics eye. For if humanity were to openly learn of us, they would fear us, and fear leads to destruction.

And before I openely ask an obvious question, i would like to ask you to look upon Hank and Remy as friends and team-mates...not as teachers.

And now the big question...Who wants to join my team? If so, what is your code name, and also if you have any other questions please feel free to ask...'

 

[xPureAdorationx]

I rose my hand in an instant. Not like an eager kid more like an almost ashamed adult. Though I wasn't ashamed, I was just trying to make amends again. I raised it and for a moment I debated on what I wanted to be called and decided to redeem the name I had cursed.

"They called me the White Queen back at..." I paused looking down bitterly. "Back at the Hellfire club." I said strongly. "Therefore I'd like to redeem that name and use it once more not for evil, but for good."

Then the biggest question struck me. "I don't understand my second power. The diamond form. I seem indestructible, but I know I can break. The problem is I don't know what can break me and I'm afraid if I use it someone can shatter me in an instant."

I had registered everything in my mind that the professor had said, but the one thing that clicked was kinetic manipulation. The answer I had been wondering about before had so nicely pieced a tiny puzzle together in my brain. Though I would lay idle despite my urges to flirt and chase after this man. No I had duties to fulfill and he surely wouldn't pay much attention to my flirtatious games.

I had other questions, but they weren't as important as this. Diamond form or not I was breakable, but the only part that scared me was the unknown. I knew who could hurt me as a normal mutant, but who could hurt me in my diamond form is a mystery that I will yet understand.

 

[CountV]

"And now the big question...Who wants to join my team? If so, what is your code name, and also if you have any other questions please feel free to ask..."

"They called me the White Queen back at..." "Back at the Hellfire club." "Therefore I'd like to redeem that name and use it once more not for evil, but for good."

I smile to Emma as she finishes her acceptance speech, from what I learned so far she seemed to need support on the issue of coming to grips with her past.

I decide to speak next:

"Proffessor, first I would like to zank you for ze image inducer, it vill allow me to go outside vithout vorrying of being called a demon now" I press the button to demonstrate and then press it once more "secondly, ve had a small demonstration a moment ago, but you didn't told us vhat you do... and as far as ze peacekeeping group goes, I'm sure you vill say yes, but I need the confirmation before accepting, ve vill try to help ze misguided mutants to see ze error in zeir vays rather zan just attempt to stop zeir schemes, right?"

And after getting my answer:

"Vhen I vas in ze circus of Munich I vas known a ze amazing Nightcrawler. I vould like to keep it as a codename… Nightcrawler, not amazing I need to earn ze amazing in zis new line of artistry"

A moment later Emma asked: "I don't understand my second power. The diamond form. I seem indestructible, but I know I can break. The problem is I don't know what can break me and I'm afraid if I use it someone can shatter me in an instant."

Before realizing that the proffessor might know the answer my impatience go the best of me "But isn't diamond supposed to only be break vit ze use of another diamond or the veird miltary metal... how vas zat called? and even then hard to break?"

 

[NiteCrowe]

Xavier Smiled.

'Emma, I think that Kurt just answered your question, and as adamantium is rare you should be safe. As for other things breaking you...well i have no idea but i doubt it. If you want, Hank could try and help you discover what it could be...'

'Kurt, I have the powers of mind reading, and telepath, and as for you other question, yes, i intend to try and get these mutants to do good and see their errors...'

 

[HeartBomb]

Ororo Munroe / Storm

Truthfully. Ororo was…undecided. She’d used her powers before. But to help…never harm. Yes. She had moments where her life or the lives of those she cared for were in danger. She was quite conflicted. She felt honored that this invitation was bestowed upon her but also the thought of using her powers intentionally to harm another made her uneasy. And while The Professor had been kind enough to leave out that certain detail. Ororo found it impossible to talk their way out of anti-mutant issues.

She had dealt with anti-mutants in the past. But never anything extreme enough to require a peacekeeping team. Where things so out of hand outside these walls? Were mutants in any real danger? Did she care enough to take matters into her own hands? Of course she did...didn’t she?

Ororo didn’t raise her hand. “I do have a question. We were all invited here correct? We each have been blessed with a different ability…a supernatural enhancement if you will. You call this a peacekeeping group. Whom are we protecting? Ourselves? Humans? Humans from mutants who have chosen a less than pure path? I am not cynical by any means. I simply want to confirm that we will keep peace while maintaining a clear conscious.”

Her long ivory hair slipped over her shoulder, momentarily obscuring her soft features before she straightened, flipping the sleek length out of her face. She didn’t want to seem bleak at this time. While everyone was eager she remained quite aloof. This seemed like quite an opportunity but she wanted to be sure she wasn’t allowing herself to be lured into a delusional mask of justice.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Xavier smiled.

'Ororo, that is a good question, and one i was expecting to answer. The answer is simple...we are to protect Humans from those mutants who want to do them harm, and vise versa. And we will not kill or use lethal force.'

In ororo's mind he also said, And your powers can be used to help...for example mist to confuse our enemies while we save innocents...

 

[jinjami]

Having entered with the others Joseph mentally slid one chair askew and reclined in it. Leaning forward when the professor was speaking and paying heed when each person has something to say.
When the time seems appropriate he raises his chair off the floor a few inches and balancing comfortably in it he addresses the group;

"I am called Joseph, but that was simply a name that a friend once called me when he knew not what else to use. I for one would be honored to join in this core group. Professor Xavier has such an exalted reputation, even in Guatemala where im from, we have heard of his renown."
To himself he thinks 'even if it is all that Logan would tell us.'

"Please though, call me Gauss. It is a word for the measure of magnetism, and since that is my unique skill - to manipulate metals, much like a magnet, I would prefer that title."
"I enjoy the idea of finding out more about myself and of you gathered here."

and with that announcement his chair settles the three inches back onto the floor and he patiently awaits the others to swear fealty to 'the Core.' as he has begun to think of the group.

 

[xPureAdorationx]

Didn't want to let this thread die - Emma "White Queen" Frost

I felt dizzy and a little sick. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but I had a very bad headache. I gave a little smile, but it was not enough to hide the discomfort I was feeling. I put my hand over my stomach and the other in the air.

"I'm sorry professor....I'll have to speak with you later about this. I'll be off to my room if you need...." Me was the last word that would have left my mouth, but I rushed out before anything did leave.

Luckily I had made it far enough into a bathroom and heaved several times. I flushed the toilet and splashed my face with cold water from the sink. I left to my room and laid down on my bed. I had no idea why I felt so sick, but it was probably the lack of food. Throwing up didn't exactly help. I pulled the blanket up to my neck and huddled into the pillow.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Xavier paused and watched as Emma ran out of the office.

'Okay, for now, you're all dismissed, we'll finish this later. Be prepared though, I may require your help at a moments notice. Oh and dinner will be in 20minutes.'

 

[CountV]

"I'm sorry professor....I'll have to speak with you later about this. I'll be off to my room if you need...."

Emma said with an uncomfortable look on her face, she certainly didn't look well.

'Okay, for now, you're all dismissed, we'll finish this later. Be prepared though, I may require your help at a moments notice. Oh and dinner will be in 20minutes.'

I nod as a salute and walk out of the room, worried about my friend. I go to Emma's room and find the door opened, and see her laying on the bed, a sheet over her body.

I walk in slowly as not to disturb her, I place my hand on hers softly

"Emma, it's me Kurt... is zere anyzing I can do to make you feel better? vant somezing to eat or drink?"
