X-Men A New

[Basia]

Megan

I thought about this for a moment, as I bowed my head....

"School was my major hoby... I graduated High School as validictorian... But I also did some acting in Drama Club... As for friends... I kept my friend s few and close... I can remember being able to cound the number of friends I had on one hand and beeing pleased with that. My per-..... The O'Kelley's where so suportive over anything I chose to do...." A small smile crept across my face.... "Even now, when someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, it changes on a weekly basis... I think I got that from you... when a person has the abilty to become anyone or anything, the possabilties are endless..."

 

[Destiny_Brent]

I smiled as I listened to her answer, I beamed at the revelation she was Valedictorian, of course she was. Her face seemed to brighten when she mentioned the O'kelly's.. and mine imperceptibally saddened but she couldn't tell of course as she continued on. I found myself extremely jealous of them, being able to spend all that time with my daughter while all I could do was just watch. I felt a tinge of bitterness creep in and fought to ignore it... they'd done right by her.

"They are. You could be anything..."

I smiled encouragingly though I had to doubt, the humans would never allow her to be too great... she'd never be president... a leader.. they wouldn't allow it.

Megan

"The thing is... I don't know what I want to do... And now that I've come out as a mutant, a lot of doors closed on me..."

I bit softly on my lower lip, as my mind drifted back to my speach at the graduation, and the reaction from those around me... The only smileing faces I saw where those of my friends, and the O'Kelley's.....

 

[Destiny_Brent]

I smiled,


"When did you ... tell everyone? When did you find out yourself?"

 

[Basia]

"I found out when I was seven years old... I fell out of a tree, and broke my arm, the bone was sticking out through my skin.... Before I could start to cry everything started to mend itself... I was twelve when I discovered my other abilties... I told the O'Kelley's when I discovered them. I told the rest of the town in my speach at graduation."

I smiled a bit.... "You should have seen thelooks on everyone's face... the Mayor turned Gray!" I laughed softly, remembering.

 

[nomad]

ooc: i guess for now its in ya'lls corner. night all

 

[kitsuke]

Sabretooth

OOC: sorry, had an unplanned overnight trip elsewhere

IC:

Victor sat and ate an just enjoyed listening to his daughter and Raven talk for a time. It was cozy, domestic. He was sorry it wouldn't last forever but anything perfect in life had been shattered for him many years ago. He thought about the old days and how wild he used to be. Well, he was still wild, but he didn't go mowing down people like they were summer wheat anymore. It wasn't that he had any problems killing, or with the concept of it. He just was beginning to lose his drive to be bad just for the sake of being bad. He figured why was it worth it when there was a war brewing between mutants and humans. Not that he wanted or needed a moral high ground, he just figured he'd wait and prepare and let THEM start it.

He snapped back to the present, "So Megan, how are getting along at, uhh, your special school? What sort of classes do they teach there? Do you have any friends?.. Do you have any male friends?", he said that last one on the tone that every father has used when trying to talk about 'That' with his daughter from time before remembrance. The tone that suggested he was extremely uncomfortable with it and was also willing to make the "male friend" extremely uncomfortable in exchange.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Storm. Elektra.

(ooc. Sorry, but a lot has gone on over one day, and my post may not make one hundred percent sense...or anything, just work with me. I am going to have Storm been watching, not interfering, though, not really her style)

STORM:

With a quick and careful eye, I followed the group, and tried to pick up pieces of conversations and events of past days. It finally hit me, I was shocked.


I felt a shift in the temperature in the air, as well as an unnatural occurance.

Without warning, I took to the skies. Smoke filled the air a few miles down. It was probably nothing.

"I apologize," My feet touched the ground, "but we are like a bunch of ducks in open water. I came to tell everyone of the uproar underground, they are planning a resistance. That is of no worry right now, but there has been no sign of Magne....." I stopped myself, remembering the company, "There has been no resistance at all, nothing. It doesn't settle right. "

ELEKTRA:

I looked to the woman, the woman had a plan. She carefully explained it to me. I didn't take to well dangling from the side of a building, nothing holding me up but some webbing from a dangerous outsider I knew nothing about, nor cared to know anything about. I twisted and flipped to a nearby window sill.

The Black widow began to speak, her eyes turning pitch black as she suctioned herself to the building, "I can find ways to infultrate the Institute. What do you think of me entering the institute?"

She looked at me, the blank eyes eerie. "Or, we just torch the place, this isn't my usual style, but hell.....it sure is a lot of fun."

I raised and eyebrow and flipped to a hanging fire escape ont he next building, just in time to see Spider thing get blasted off the building due to an explosion.

"Follow me." I commanded. She recovered, her webbing saving her, she scaled the building with ease.

We managed to get to the top of a building near the Institute.

I pointed, "the roof with the man, that is the institute, if you can infultrate it, fine. But I want my Goddamn money. I am going to do my job, be helpful, don't get in my way."

She smirked at me.

 

[BLACK WIDOW]

Black Widow

I smirked at the woman, she was sly, slick....too arrogant for her own good.

When she showed me the building, I awaited no longer. I lept off the building, slinging my webbing to the building across the way. Her shouts of warning to me, asking me where I thought I was going, I just shot a glance over my shoulder, then, when she proceeded to cause the man on the building to notice her, I shot webbing towards her. It was nothing. She would get out of it easily, but it still pinned her to the building.

I climbed up the side of the Institute. I slyly peaked over the edge. I blinked with my blank dark black stare. He noticed me.

"Psssst. I need help!" I said, in false alarm.

I was a spy, therefore, I would spy. What Elektra didn't know, was taht she wouldn't live long. This was my territory now. Her money would be mine. It was the ultimate double cross. I smirked.

I quickly made eye contact with the man again. Brutal in appearance he was oddly fascinating.

 

[nomad]

IC:Seeing how there was nothing to do here, i decided to walk. after a few blocks i realized i didn't know where i was going, so i followed my instincts. I let my feet lead me wherever they decided. A few minutes later i found myself hovering over a window with megan and the strangers in the kitchen.
now what?

 

[Basia]

Megan

I was munching happely on my eggs when Vircor piped up with his questions... The first two where nothing, but his third question, and his tone, set me aback...

"So Megan, how are getting along at, uhh, your special school? What sort of classes do they teach there? Do you have any friends?.. Do you have any male friends?"

I quickly swallowed before answering. "To tell you the truth, I was only there for about a day... I really don't know what they teach... As for friends... That Rogue woman, and that Remy guy seem nice... but I'm unsure about the others... Hell, I even got in trouble.. I was "confined to the house" for a few hours..." A smile spread over my lips. "Don't worry. I know what your getting at, and the answer is no. In fact, I havn't had any male friends, in the manor your implying."

I looked towards the plate for a second, pushing the bacon around with my fork. "To tell you the truth... I am confused about on thing though... What do I call the two of you? I hate to say it, bit I'm not sure if I feel comfortable calling you "Mom" or "Dad" just yet. I don't mean to hurt you by saying this, but it's the way I feel..."

 

[nomad]

i wanted to interfere but i also knew that i could not. I never knew who my parents were or even if i had any, considering that this is the age of genetic engineered babies. I watched them interact and felt happy and sad about the whole thing. Why was i here? to torture myself? to hurt her? no. i best leave, but how was i hovering, or for that matter how did i even get here?
mentally i told Xavier"xavier i got lost, and will be staying in a hotel nearby where i am. I'll let you know where later."

 

[nomad]

IC:I figured since i had no other choice i thought lets go northwest.within minutes i found a cheap hotel

OOC:*cough*day's inn*cough*

IC:I payed for a room, collapsed on the bed. weeping.

 

[Neale]

OOC: Fare thee well

Like Isolde, I don't really see a place for my version of Gambit in this thread. My apologies to you all.

 

[Destiny_Brent]

Mystique listened knowing what Sabretooth was driving at and smiled, a true father sometimes.

"Rogue?"

I nodded remembering our days together,

"Her and I used to be very close."

I sighed looking down and away, she too had left for the x-men, that let my thoughts go back to Destiny. I'd loved her, such a wonderful friend... my best friend. We'd shared some wonderful times together.

What to call us? Hmm

"You may call me Raven until you feel comfortable. That's fine."

I hated to say it, I longed to hear mom but I knew that this was too soon.

 

[Basia]

Megan

A soft smile spread across my lips.

"Thank you... Raven... And, honestly.. The only reason I turned to Xavier was my mutation... When I "glow" it's a hughtened emotional responce... I can't control when to "glow" and when to not... It took all my will to control it all these years..."

 

[kitsuke]

Sabretooth

"Call me Victor until you feel ready to call me something else, whatever that may be." Victor replied to his daughter, "So you had just gotten there then, I wasn't sure exactly." That was added a bit sheepishly.

"Well then ladies, it's your choice what we do for the next couple of days. I'm up for anything, even if it's sitting around and having 'girl' talk. Just don't expect any of those weepy feminine commercial episodes from me." Sabretooth winked at both of them after this and finished his breakfast.

 

[poohlive]

Large sirens wailed throughout the night. Spiderman, tying and hanging his latest bunch of robbers and would be thieves quickly crawled up the side of a building, looking at where the sound came from with some curiousity.
A fire?
Isn't that odd.
He hadn't seen a fire there before. Must have been an explosion. Slinging his way to the blast Spiderman quickly searched the area with his spidersense. Nothing. He hated the fact that he couldn't let it work to his advantage. It happened on it's own.
Still, it had gotten him out of more jams than any of his powers. And, it was one of the few he could actually use out of costume.
Making his way to the blast he hung onto the side of the building.
Ouch, it was hot. He crawled up fast, hopnig his costume wouldn't get singed. This was his second to last one. In one window he saw the fire, swelling up between floors. He sat on the side of the building, quickly changing cartridges.
His water soluable ones should do the trick. He had had a recent tumble with Aqua man (or whoever that old jelous Mary Jane boyfriend's name is) and kept a few with him just in case. Hoping they would actually help with the fire he began using a wide spray on the entire thing.
It didn't help much, but it kept the thing under control until the fire fighters could aririve. He was about to bid the entire thing fairwell until something caught his eye. It was hanging off the side of the building. He grabbed it, looking at it glimmer in the moonlight.
Spiderweb?
He examined it carefully. It was too big to be from an actual spider. He shot his own web out. No, it just wasn't the same. This stuff was different. His mind raced? Could his clone be back in town?
No, that's impossible. He would have called, or informed him or something. No, this was from someone else. Whoever it was, they had caused this fire. He smelled the web, it was definitely biodegradable. In an hour it would have been nothing.
He glanced around, looking at the nearby skyscrapers and building tops. Absolutely nothing. Well, this was quite a predicament. A new spider in town, and he didn't even get introduced.
How rude.
He sniffed the web again. Perfume?
A Spiderwoman?
Spiderman would have to keep his eyes open. He tucked the web inside his belt, for further analysis later. Glancing back at the way he had came, he realized that morning would be approaching soon. He decided to take the long way home, maybe he could still catch this new female arachnid in action.

 

[nomad]

[Basia]

Megan

I gulped downt he Orange Juice in almost one swallow, and then went back to work on the eggs. With a full mouth, I responded.

"Ow saw a couple of good," two chews then a swallow, "excuse me.. I saw a few good looking stores in town... Maybe we can go exploring in town for a bit?"

 

[Destiny_Brent]

Shopping? I smiled and nodded lightly,

"That sounds wonderful..."

I poked Victor playfully in the side,

"Your father will love it."

She brushed her hair behind her ear and closed her eyes, morphing... her hair a golden blond and her eyes changing to a soft violet. She looked a new woman,

"I wouldn't want the press talking. My husband may not take to kindly to seeing pictures of me and Victor here in the paper."

I jerked teasingly on his elbow.

"Where would you like to go?"

 

[Basia]

Megan

That smile brightened, as i sprung up from my chair, and placed my dishes in the sink.

"Give me like ten minutes to get changed, and I'll be ready"

Shopping shopping shopping!

I practically ran towards my room, my slippers on the other hand, never made the trip.

 

[BLACK WIDOW]

Black Widow:

Without a response from the man in black, I knew he saw me. I would have to play my innocence. I could, after all, be innocent. Only I knew what I really was.A black mask , bandana fashion was over my eyes, making for a myserious look when my powers were in effect. Maybe I was scaring him, I continued on all fours, my body lithly scaling till my full body was in view, crouched low, I stood up.

 

[nomad]

IC:Seeing as how i had nothing else on i Contact Xavier mentally and say"hey fearless leader, im on Garden Ave. and Ivy St." i then give megan a quick message"hey megan i'm in the area for the moment. I will be leaving sometime soon....I hope"

 

[kitsuke]

Sabretooth

"Shopping.", he said sarcastically, though he was smiling, "Great."

"Okay, your day and all. Let's go shopping. It'll be a change for all of us. Your mother and I will actually be paying for something for once. You won't have to worry about people knowing how weird you are, because we're weirder.", Victor got and rinsed the dishes from breakfast off. "Raven, you get to do the dishes when we get back because I cooked." he added a wink for effect.

"So where are we going?"
