x men

Magma had been subdued kinda quickly, meaning that Dead Hand didn't have a chance for some fun. So, instead, he had gone back into the ship. He was feeling a little bored. Then, the ship shook, and he could hear a rumbling. Taking a step forward, he saw Magma - now out of the block of ice, holding Wizards book and demanding ansers. Stepping forward quetly, Dead Hand crept closer and pullied out one of his blades. Electricity sprang from his hand al the way down the blade as he held it out, close to Magma's neck. "Drop the book, boy. Maybe then we'll anser your questions. Or, we could do this the bloody way"
 
Wizard turned to face Magma, and shook his head. He held one hand out towards the boy, and murmured a few short words, before an arrow of light shot out, blinding him. He shook his head again, grabbing the book, and stuffed it into his pocket. He then pushed Magma down into a chair, and the restraints on the chair wrapped around him.
 
"Boy who you calling boy" trying to brake free of the chair. "I'm gonna make sure I kill you after this book worm" why don't they get it I can melt any metal brake free of any prison hehe this is to easy he started to warm up his palms once again....
 
Wizard raised an eyebrow, then pulled the book out again, opened it, and found a sleeping spell. He murmured the words, holding his hand up over Magma's eyes. He then lowered them, finishing the spell. If it didn't work, he could always have Rogue take enough life force to knock the person out.

OOC man razor your no fun so how many posts am I out for...


until you've calmed a bit :p....i hope to advance the plot a bit, though considering the technology on the spaceship, the restraints would have probably held anyways
 
OOC: Truthfully guys/girls with all of the fighting that has been done so far and all of the mutant abilities that have been displayed Im starting to wonder why the other Xmen are even needed for this thread. Im also starting to realise why noone else is jumping on to join this thread.

I dont mean to come off as being a dick, but Ive seen nothing to advance the SL. Ive seen two people trying to one up the other by posting using every possible power that comes to mind to do so. What makes the Xmen series so unique is that each of them have only one or two mutant abilities and every one of them have a weakness. Carrying around a book that has an infinite amount of spells is not a mutant ability. In truth I think that belongs in a Harry Potter thread not an Xman one.

I appaud making original characters, but when doing so you have to ask yourself how they would fit into the world created by the originals.

Anyway Ill step off my soapbox now and allow the Thread starter to make a ruling here. I believe that would be Chronicle though i seem to remember him saying that he was going to be away today.
 
OOC: Sorry for taking so long to post. I can gaurantee within reason that I can post every day and sometimes like last night multiple times other times I will be slow and I apologize for that.

One thing I am mildly worried about though is the autohits in the thread.

Granted, I know its frustrating when morons like me take so long to post but in the end I think it will be more rewarding if we do wait instead of some of the auto connects.

But since I'm such a dweed I'll mention some of the things I liked so far...

1. Rogue realizing walking on to a strange guy's ship may not have been the best idea but the X-Men are heroes so what else could they do?

2. Wizard taking time to read from his book. Good touch.

3. Deadhand acting like a true merc and doing nothing until things really got dicey! :p lol, I almost imagined him with popcorn and soda while the fighting was happening then when Wizard got in trouble going "Oh yeah!" *sword*

4. Rogue wondering if she could use her powers on Eva. I even asked around about that one, very good question. Nice ingenuity.

Best Moment (IMO) of Thread So Far....

Wizard locking Magma into an ice cube. Nice move. But the countermove, using his heating powers to melt the ice, even nicer. Good stroke old chap.

So far stuff has been pretty good. I apologize for using such an obscure character that no one knows much about and that may have caused problems. I should clarify though Fantomex's ship IS his power. While he doesn't really control it, it obeys him in the same way that Old Lace obeys Gert in Runaways or say Maggott's maggots obey him.

The reason that's significant is because his ship is alive so the ship would have the same reaction to heat as a human being. When she felt lava beneath her she would have flown into the air.

And I won't interrupt the hold that you guys have put on Magma but I should note Fantomex doesn't have holding cells per se on his ship. To steal a quote from Runaways, you shoud get the impression that he tends to opt for the death penalty with his captives:D
 
Rogue

She watched the boys play, for there was little other word for it.

Leaning against a wall, careful not to touch it with bare skin, Rogue just shook her head and waited for them to finish.

Deadhand and Wizard had Lava-boy, excuse me, Magma well in hand, she mused. Good confidence builder for the kid but he was going to find someone those sparkly spells didn't work on one of these days. Hopefullly during his apprenticeship so someone could bale him out.

"Eva," she said, wanting to ask a question that had been bugging her subconcious. "Why can't we hear from Dr X?"
 
Eva

"Because you are no longer at the mansion." Eva replies.

Lights shine several meters away and show a small orb that resembles a crystal ball. The New York skyline can faintly be seen in the distance but the tops of houses in a residential neighborhood can be seen from above.
 
OOC: Just adding to the discussion not trying to step on toes. I like the ambiguity between magic and mutant. It reminds me of the scarlett witch who has a mutant power that affects magic (or something.)

And it looks like Wiz (just picking on you cause you've had the only major fighting so far) has at least 3 weakness: 1 is known to most characters (he's only a student so he's inexperienced), 1 is pretty discernable (he carries the book around and reads it before performing a spell so he must need it) and 1 is known to him (he needs to consume calories to maintain his energy levels).

I'm happy Jeremy brought up needing the other X-Men though. I HATE having to use them to advance the plot. Just so I can have fun I might rp another x character but I'm going to ditch Prof X and company as soon as the next phase unfolds.


Who here is curious why Deadpool wants to kill Fantomex? Or why he is coming to Xavier?
 
Rogue

"Eva, why are we leaving New York," Rogue asked, head tilted to one side. "Because not only did we not consent to leaving, which makes this kidnapping, we've also got someone who wants to kill your friend, for lack of a better word."

i...can't think of anything to post right now x.x too bad there isn't more interaction between Wizard and Rogue...and where did Havok get to?
 
Fantomex

Fantomex watches as the mutants surround his unknown attacker. Noticing Rogue seems to be preoccupied in conversation with Eva and Deadhand and Wizard are watching the mutant who attacked him Fantomex slip into a dark corner and slides away.

Alone Fantomex looks down and checks a piece of torn cloth that occurred in his fight with Deadpool.

"Asshole" he thinks to himself.

"Eva, report."

"Mutant Target: Unknown. Power estimate: Potential Alpha Level. Abilities include: Geothermal Manipulation. Geothermal invulverability. Propensity to anger likely due to-"

"Is Wizard the one we need?" Fantomex says cutting her off.

"Yes" his partner answers curtly.

"I'm sorry, I'm just bit unnerved. We know this "Magma" wasn't sent by the people who sent us. And he wasn't sent by the people we're trying to take down. I'm just wondering how he fits into the equation. Did you isolate Havok?" Fantomex asks.

"Yes, he did not assist in the battle against Magma."

"Good, good. Rogue and the other one?"

"Minimal assitance."

"Wizard did it himself. Perfect. Eva record and analyze while I'm gone. Do you have the disk?"

Eva pops a CD size disk out of a compartment and hurling it all the way across the room. Fantomex catches and pockets it.

Suddenly Fantomex begins running. He enters a doorway and bumps into Havok.

"Ghaa!" Fantomex exclaims breathlessly. "We were worried you got lost. What happened to you?"
"Your ship! I fell behind but I kept following the lights. I called out to the others but there was no answer. Finally everything went dark and I couldn't see anything. Next thing I know yo run into me." Havok answers.

"I apologize for Eva's behavior." Fantomex says holding Alex by his shoulder adn guiding him to where the others have gathered.

"When I am hurt, sometimes Eva can act erratically." Fantomex says with a smile
 
Wakeing to the sound of jet engines Magma startly wakes up. "Shit" he muttered to himself. With magma so far away he had no major defence except his natural body heat. Straining his arms to break free. What the fuck does harry potter think he's doing thought Magma. Seeing the man in the water and Rouge a member of the X-men that he had seen while being in the brotherhood for a short while.

Sean you have the seeds for greatness Magnetos words echoed in his head. It turned out that all they cared about was money and destroying the X-men. I'm gonna start the revolution make things better for mutants he was watching the news while the anti mutant bills were passed. He gazed out the window and saw the Empire state building.

"Didn't know we were riding to the big apple" it reminded him of his hometown of chicago "and I just have to ask will we be getting peanuts or a turkey sandwich on this fine flight also this is the best first class flight I have ever take..." Magma grinned...



(OOC thanks for the great nick man )
 
Wizard grinned at the comment about sandwiches and flights. Still, the rapid movement into the air indicated something was wrong. He sighed, and started to munch on trail mix again, moving over near Rogue and listening to her conversation with the ship. He sighed slightly, wondering what was going on, and a thought occurred to him.

"You ever get that sense of utter, impending doom? Just right out of the blue?" (MT reference <<)
OOC: and i'm off to bed...night all, i'll check the posts in the morning. night, pretty vixie <<
 
Rogue

Looking over at Magma, she laughed. "Not sure what they're serving on this unexpected flight. A good dose of interogation sounds good though, right Wizard, Deadhand?"

Rogue figured they weren't going to be given a straight answer by Eva or her controller so she decided to focus on the here and now, deal with the obvious problem first. Worse comes to worse she could always deal out some mayhem and come up with a solution for the kidnapping bit.

Leaning over Magma, but far enough away not to touch or be touched, she asked, "So, you going to be nice and talk to us or do we have to play hardball?"
 
Eva

"Eva was just scared Rogue." Fantomex says entering the room with Havok behind him. "You must understand how it is for us. You see, Eva is a part of me. When I was a child and I first opened my mouth to speak, Eva came out with my first word. She was only the size of a fly then. My parents tried to swat her but everytime they hit her I would cry. When I grew, she grew. I grew to the size I am now. And she grew to the size she is now. She is my mutant power. I have two nervous systems. One inside of me like all of you, and one outside of me, Eva. Just like stomachs evolved into structures able withstand digestive acids I am evolution. I evolved to protect my nervous system from harm."

Fantomex gazes at the ship around him proudly.

"She is my nervous system Rogue. So like any nervous system, when she saw I was in danger she had two choices: Fight or Flight. I chose fight. She chose flight."

Fantomex closes his eyes for a minute.

"She's embarrassed. Think nothing of it girl. Everyone is fine. "

A bright light shines far away behind the group.

"Just walk into the light and we'll be back at Xavier's." Fantomex says.

"And bring the ungrateful houseguest with you." Fantomex say and looks slyly at Deadhand.

"And don't forget Magma."
he yells back to the group as he walks through the light exit.
 
Rogue

Rogue followed with a shake of her head. In again, out again, gone again, finniegen.

With a shurg, she picked up Magma, chair and all, and easily followed Fontamex into the light. No point in letting the boys do all the work, she reasoned silently.

Picking up Magma made the pendant she wore under her uniform move, catching her attention, turning her mind inward for a moment to thoughts of another time.

Remy... she sighed and pushed thoughts of him away. He was somewhere in the world and when he was ready, he'd seek her out. Or she'd go find him, an unlikely thing at the moment since she imagined she was pretty much Wizard's field supervisor. Least the kid was cute and amusing.
 
Magma

Magma enjoyed the view he was getting staring right down at Rouges chest. "You...said you wanted to talk the easy way earlier...if you want I'll tell you what I'm here for" he meant this but didn't know any way except that way to tell her. This will also be a good distraction for my hands to start to heat up they always forgot about his sub power. "listen I don't want to start off on the wrong foot here but WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR" his ptience wiht the X-men always thinned every encounter. It seemed they were oblivious to the fact that they were complete assholes esspecially that logan guy he wanted to turn him into a piece of bacon...
 
Rogue

"You know cussing at me isn't going to solve anything," Rogue said, rolling her eyes. "And no tricks either. You really don't want me to recapture you. Better to let the Professor interogate you then me. Though I suppose we could roast marshmellows while I try to figure out how that heated hand thing works."

Rogue noticed the chair growing warm and "accidently" dropped the chair, dumping Magma on his face. "With these sensative hands of mine, I don't like that heat, Magma. Do be nice and tone it down?"
 
Wizard grinned at Rogue's actions. She was a handful at times, almost as unpredictable as Havok. He had stepped into the light right after her, and was thankful to be back at the mansion. He smiled, then winced slightly, from exhaustion, and staggered. He sighed, and quickly recovered, walking beside her. It wouldn't do to show that much weakness, especially not in front of her. He never wanted to appear weak in front of her. As she dropped Magma on his face, he shook his head. He was pretty sure the Professor wanted him intact.

"Rogue, you might want to be a little more careful. We wouldn't want to give him brain damage, right?"

Magma

"Hey I did nothing wrong" MAgma said as Rouge picked him up. "I don't care what you do get me of this CHAIR" even though Magma still liked the view of Rouges chest it was quiet uncomfortable. "All you X-men are the same PUPPETS to some higher power take of your shackles with your powers combined with mine we could start a new age." Then magma saw no reaction no one carred about what will happen to them. Your just kidding yourself Sean thought Magma as he was led of the ramp of the ship. This will make a nice place for a trap the magma underneath the earth was only 1 mile away from them. Steam rose from new cracks it was making. Just as they took a step forward a jet of Lava shot up like a a missile shooting out of a silo. They stopped in there tracks. Once the lava landed on the ground it started to dart towards them and hit the chair wich turned into a pile of ash. Magma started to break for it...




OOC: I should note that since Magma can control magma (lava that is undeground) and lava (when it's above round) he can control how it moves no hovering in the air but he can do some cool stuff.
 
Dead Hand fell backwards and landed on his ass as a glob of magma burst out of the ground and disintergrated the cair that Magma had been on. Everyone, especially Rogue who had been close the the chair, were somewhat stunned at the event. Magma of course, used the oppotunity to make a break for it. Leaping to his feet, Dead Hand sprinted after Magma, giving chase but deliberatly maintaining some distance. "No worries guys! I'll get him!" Secretly he had no real desire to capture Magma, but rather wanted to know what he meant about a 'new age'
 
Rogue

Got to love when the idiots come out to play, Rogue growled to herself. Her hands were singed, the gloves in tatters. "Wizard, say with Havok and keep Fontamex safe, lava boy may have friends."

With that she took off, easily flying ahead of Deadhand and Magma. "This is not behaving nicely, you know."

She planned on letting Dead Hand re-catch him but if nessessary she'd grab him. The gloves were off, literally and figuratively, and since the lawn was already a molten mess, she wasn't too worried about not being familiar with lava powers.


OCC: I know lava is aboveground, magma below, etc. I just think Rogue would be a little sarcastic by now.
