OOC: How's 6am for everyone? All right, this isn't that long, but I'll get more up later. Let's get this thing started, shall we? :)


IC: Epoch

6:00am


I wake, the thoughts of last night filtering back into my consciousness. Why did I go through with it? I had once promised myself I would never sink to their level.
Yawning I pull enough oxygen into my brain to open my eyes, absentmindedly staring ahead of me. I hate morning.

I flip the covers off and take a look around, the room around me pale and dreary. It's walls are bare and unfurnished, at the moment just as visibly empty as I feel within myself. Fitting if you ask me.

The small bathroom in the right hand corner of the room carries signs of aging in and on it's exterior. It's pearl colored paint job had pealed and browned through the years, the tiles of the shower on the far wall almost black with lime and mildew.
Ignoring it's flaws, I slip out of my pajamas and twist the hot nozzle on the far left, letting the water warm on my fingertips. If I had the time for it, I'd stay in the shower for hours at a time.

I quickly build up a good lather of shampoo, letting soap filled brown hair curl around my hands as I massage my scalp.
Shutting my eyes as I rinse off, I almost drift back into slumber, last night ending for me only an hour and twenty minutes before this very moment. One thing's for sure, I'll sleep sound tonight.

Popping the silver switch back down, I let the tub faucet run for a moment while I reach for the nearest clean towel, the blue material feeling extremely comforting on my face as I wipe away the drops of tap water.
After shutting off both hot and cold handles, I dry off, standing in front of the mirror and hating the image that reflects back at me.

From a small black duffle bag on top of the toilet, I pull a small case with two containers, opening them carefully as I place it on the counter top. My index finger gently lifts the lens from the liquid, covering the only feature on my body I'm afraid of. As a child I was beaten at school, all the others saying devastating things to a young girl that had no knowledge of who, no...WHAT she was. Now I know, and the terror inside of me has only grown with each passing day. I'm a freak.
Blinking vigorously, I lean in towards the glass, making sure green is purely visible. Repeating the process with the other eye, I take a step back, surveying the authenticity of my contacts. Perfect, the black is hidden exceptionally well behind these, I'll have to remember this company when these wear out.

Heading out of the dingy bathroom, I tiptoe to the closet, not knowing who I might awaken in this cheap apartment complex if I step too loudly. Silently grabbing my things I slip out the door, making a mental note to search for a new place to live while I was out and about today.

_______________________________

6:29am

I stand at the edge of the corner, staring straight ahead of me, my heart pounding violently in my ears. I've been training for this, and I'm ready....I think....

I hold out my hand, concentrating with all the energy I could force from within me.
The heat is almost unbearable as it rips from my fingers, sending off a blinding blue light that only I can see.

There's a loud noise that reminds my memories of air funneling through a long, darkened tunnel, then silence. Nothing but the sound of the gasps escaping from my heaving abdomen. I need to hurry.

All around me is still quiet, everyone oblivious to the power just enforced upon them. The earth is at a stand still, and I'm relishing every moment.
Stumbling, I run for what I was told to retrieve, grabbing the briefcase and sprinting blindly for a moment or two before everything around me begins to swirl. Large gusts blow my hair into unflattering knots, reasserting time back onto it's proper course.

I lean against a brick wall, trying to pick up the pace as I hear shouting from behind me. I have to get this to my source before 7, or the deals off.

OOC: Oh, I'm so proud! My baby is growing up so fast! :p But seriously, thanks to you guys for supporting my idea, of which I wasn't sure if it would ever launch. Though I am not really part of this RPG yet due to procrastination, (DARN YOU, YOU EVIL PROCRASTINATION! :mad: ) I have sent a PM th Barb so I hope too join soon! :D
On a side note, Selena, could you give a thorough description/profile of your character? I'd like to draw her so everyone can get an idea of what she looks like.

IC: Magneto
6:29 AM

Like a great wave my magnetic energy advances along the earth's magnetic field. I must destroy the Global Communications and Computer System Defense Satellite Dish. (GCCSDSD) The only way that I can access the computer systems that I need to is if this Dish is destroyed. I move my magnetic wave along, until...

"What!"

My wave, traveling along the very magnetic field of the earth has met a disturbance. What could disrupt the very magnetic field of the earth?

I break my concentration and look at my global monitoring system.

"Close up of the United States."

Fascinating. The very magnetic field has been warped around a perticular area. I can't tell for sure but it looks the time continuum has been disrupted as well. I will investigate this at a later date. Right now the satellite must be destroyed.

I lift my wave off the earth as it can not go forward because of the disturbance if it is on the ground. I move it forward rapidly. Time is important. Aaaah, I can feel it. I have reached my target. Utilizing my vast power I send destructive pulses of magnetic energy along my wave directly aimed at the satellite. It will be a smoldering piece of scrap tin.

IC: Nick Fury
6: 31 AM

"Director! Director Fury!"

I cram my cigar back in my mouth and turn around.

"Well, what is it?"

"Sir the GCCCSDSD it receiving highly dangerous amount of interference. We believe it may be magnetic. But it won't last much longer."

I grind my teeth on my cigar. And people say that they aren't healthy for you. They're great stress relievers.

"Hell. If that Dish is destroyed is could compromise our entire computer system. Power up our backup security systems. Find the source of the interference and have a Excalibur level strike team ready to go."

"Yes sir."

Damn it. Magnetic interference. This better not be what I think it is.

IC: CYCLOPS

6:00am

I stand alone in the middle of a large room as I check my gear. Boots, pads, and visor all check.

“Begin Danger Room training program level 8”

A piece of the floor open up, from it came 5 androids with some sort of weapon attached on its arm. The 5 androids began firing at me, and I manage to dodge each shot. I fire an Optic blast on the first one taking its head off, roll, and began to run to the left as the others shoot at the space behind me where I have been. I shot another beam to the left shoulder of the rightmost android, making it spin clockwise, making it shoot 2 androids before another optic blast from me destroyed it. A high pitch sound came from behind, kind of like the sound of a weapon initializing. I turned, and saw the fifth android as it fires a beam straight to me, but I manage to fire another beam to intercept it. The two beams met in the middle, neither one giving an inch to the other. I summon all available strength and blasted to it, pushing the beam to the android until my beam melted the android to a smoking patch of metal. A speaker squawk to life.

“X-men meet me in the computer room Cerebro detected a mutant activity.”

I dashed outside towards a closed door and it opens before I hit it. You would just love those automatic doors.

[Barb Gordon]

IC: Day 1 (we should put a random month)
6:00am

Jean Grey

I stretch leisurely as I awake...floating.
"ohh not again!"
I say half asleep. It's got to be about the tenth time I've woken up like this. I've gotten used to it, but still, it is a bit trippy when your subconscious levitates you in your sleep! Settling myself down onto the ground I tidy up my bed and proceed to get ready for the day. Glancing at the clock on the bedside table I can already figure that Scott's in the training room already - he's gone there as early as 4 in the morning some days. Today, besides breakfast, I'm working on some levitation excerises with Professor Xavier before class. I slightly cringe at the thought of the huge exam I've got later today at school. Tossing my backpack up onto the bed to grab later I head out, changed and washed, to the kitchen.

---6:30am---

Breakfast went fine, despite Kurt's usual habit of popping up midair over my head just to grab some orange juice before popping off again that is. The news was uneventful, moreso because there weren't any mutant stories popping up. Sometimes what the news gathers is so far fetched and ridiculous it's somewhat painful and amusing to listen to. I push my chair away from the table and head over to the sink to put my dishes away. Glancing at my watch I can see that I've got just enough time to meet with Professor Xavier before heading off to--

“X-men meet me in the computer room, Cerebro detected a mutant activity.”

...or not. Hurridedly putting my dishes away I jog out of the kitchen and for the meeting room. There went the uneventful morning.

[AceOfKnaves]

Actually Pyro, I'm already half way through a sketch of her. :) But I can give you a bio.


Current Name: Epoch
Age: 22
Height: 5'9
Weight: 130lbs
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Black
Occupation: Unknown

History: Unable to remember her birth given name, at the age of seven she searched for a word that would fit her abilities. Epoch, meaning memorable event, era or time, spent most of her childhood jumping to and from several foster homes, the adults who cared for her terrified of what she could cause.

Running away from her home in Georgia, Epoch trained loyally for several years, tuning her mind enough to control her ability to shift time. After many attempts, she discovered that aside from stopping, slowing, or accelerating time, that she could also reverse it, though the only time she tried to master reliving time frames, she was nearly killed.

Her powers are extremely stressful to her physical structure, and she cannot hold large areas in the time rip for too long. Though she has not achieved wide spread use of her mutant power, when she concentrates on single objects she is able to hold them captive for several hours.

Her appearance is fairly normal, aside from few details that prove her birthright.
Her hair is a dark brown shade, long and usually found flowing and in her face.
Both her irises are black and specially tuned to see certain things, for example, the blue light from her powers, or the aura of other mutants.
The fingertips on her right hand are riddled with small, sky blue dots, the conductors of the energy released from her body when she uses her skills.

Fighting has never been one of her strong points, instead she escapes her foes by swift sprints, and acrobatic feats ranging from climbing to flipping.

Though she usually is hired by people or mutants on the wrong side of the law, Epoch herself is not partial to either side, helping only when it is convenient for herself.

OOC: Aww, Selena, are you gonna post it here or on the drawing board, Would you mind if I took a crack at it anyway?

6:05 AM

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I, half asleep, fumble around trying to turn off my alarm. Stupid alarm. I don't wanna get up yet but I do anyway. As I get ready, I look foward to seeing Amanda at school. Then I look in the mirror. I realize that I can't keep hiding forever, it makes me feel like I'm betraying my friends. But it is really nice, to be accepted. Anyway, I grab my inducer and my backpack and 'port to the kitchen.

6:30 AM

As I teleport around the table Jean looks at me as if slightly annoyed. Hmm. I wonder why. I make sure not to fill myself up at breakfast so that I can make a stop to get a burger bomb before school. Then I remember I didn't finish my math homework so I get it and turn to Kitty and ask for help on a few problems. I would have had time to finish it but our fight with the Brotherhood yesterday left me worn out. Just before I finish, Prof. X Calls us. I'm guessing we're gonna have to stop another global threat. I wish that one of the new recruits can take my place because I don't think I can afford to be late to school again. I pop in to see what all the hubbub is about.

It is done. The Dish has been destroyed. And now no computer system is safe from my system. I abondened my base twenty minutes ago. When the strike force arrives they will find nothing.

I look at the monitors. This is a new base and I must be sure that everything is in working order.

I turn around at a noise. My followers have arrived as ordered. Excellent. They file in one by one. Collossus, Gambit, and Pyro. Now to give them my orders.

"Time is of the essence so I must be brief. I have reason to beleive that a powerful mutant activity has occured. Collussus, I want you to go the the Xavier Mansion."

I pause for a moment. The Steel Giant is obviuosly surprised. I hold up a disk.

"I want you to break into the mansion and copy the operation files for Cerebro on this disk. I must have the files for the past seven days at all costs. Aviod confrontation unless absolutely nessacary. Do not, I repeat do no use deadly force. Understood?

"Understood."

He steps forward and takes the disk. I turn to Pyro and Gambit, holding up a GPS.

"On this GPS are the coordinates fow where I beleive the mutant activity has occured. Go the this town and investigate. Do not approach the mutant if you find that there is one. Understood?

"Understood."

They take the GPS and follow Collussus out the door. Stage one has ended with an unexpected bonus. Now on to stage two.

I sit at a large computer, information being poured into me through both my eyes and my brain. The database tries to locate anything to help discover more about this new mutant but it comes up with nothing. My students....my X-Men walk in.

"What is it Professor?"

"A new mutant has used their power and it may cause a major threat unless handled quickly. I have almost no information on her and her mind is very cloudy, Her mutant able to great and she is already causing trouble. Apparently she can bend the very fabric of Time, although her powers have not reached the point of controlling time she must be brought back to us before she goes into the wrong side."

"Yes Professor, but what about school?"

I have already contacted the Principal, it has been taken care of but you must hurry. I have already started the X-Jet..."

I left with my orders. The first thing I would do is first check out the Mansion before I go just breaking in. I started to think of all the possibly that could happened on my way to the mansion. "How powerful can this mutant be if he wants me to break in the mansion? He must be pretty powerful. My orders are to break in and that's what I'll do.

OOC: Sorry for the short post. But well have much more when I post agian.

"Perfect, my dear." He pauses, eyeing me strangely before snapping his fingers at one of his assistants, "What are you waiting for? The payment?"

An envelope slides from across his desk, fitting perfectly in my hand as I stop it's course of falling to the ground.
I pull out what's inside, running it instantly through my fingers.
"You're short."

He smiles idiotically. "It's a small fee that I had no choice but to take from your final cut."

I glare at him, "Fee?"

He nods, "You're late. We had an agreement."

The clock behind him says that it's five past seven, "You've got to be kidding."

His hand rests on the briefcase, drumming his gnawed on nails over the leather. He's nervous, I can see it in the perspiration on his forehead.
"I'm sorry my dear. Perhaps next time you'll be punctual."

I smile, "Yes, perhaps I will." My hand extends in front of me, a look of satisfaction frozen on his face as the room flashes and swirls.

My hand wraps around the handle of the briefcase, pulling it from his grasp, not that he could stop me now anyway.
I pat his shoulder, "Nice doing business with you."

Opening the window, I leap out, running as swiftly as I can down the fire escape and onto the street.
Rubbing my chest, I release them from their time bonds, staggering back in the direction of my apartment.

_________________________

7:10am


I plop down on my bed, taking long, deep breaths, trying to slow my heart beat. All my training was apparently for nothing. Why?! Why can't I freeze more than one person without feeling like this? My left arm begins to ache, something it always does when I put too much strain on my heart.

I clutch my wrist, ignoring the burning from my left fingertips. I have too much to do to worry about this right now.
He's looking for me, trying to search out my mind, and if I'm not careful, he'll find me. The last thing I need is him or his cronies on my tail, I won't make that choice again.

I shut my eyes, clearing my head. Now is not the time for this, I have to rest up for whatever he's sent for me.

I saluted Professor Xavier and left leading my teammates. I head to the hangar I can’t help to shake my head while looking at my hand that saluted the professor, all the others behind me are trying not to laugh but failing miserably. Now that I think about it, I think I saw a smile of the professor’s face. Why did the professor made me team leader I don’t know. Jean is much more mature in thinking than I am gonna be, she also have a much more powerful mutant ability.

I’m standing by the entrance of the X-jet as one by one they boarded. Last to board is Jean when I remembered something and held her off.

“I think you must stay, something is not right and I don’t want to leave the Professor alone while Logan and Aurora is off in another mission. Promise me you would call if anything happen.”

“Yes Sir!” she said as she saluted me and marched towards the hangar door.

The others in the X-jet heard it and all started laughing their socks off. With a groan, I just bowed my head and went up the ladder and in to the cockpit.

I went to all the preflight checks and everything is ok for takeoff.

“You’re cleared for takeoff” Prof. X said through my head set.

I pushed the lever for the throttle and I was pushed back as the sudden acceleration of the X-jet. We continued to build speed, the end of the runway suddenly opened before we shoot through it and off to meet a new ally or foe.

My followers have left with their orders. While I wait for them to return I shall begin Stae Two. Collussus must not fail. THe operating files for Cerebro will tell me the exact location of the mutant, the exact nature of the mutatn activity, and other important data.


It may be too late. Xavier has almost certainly sent his X-Men to investigate. But that could aid Collussus. Without the X-Men he will have few foes to face.


I turn to my computer.
"Begin Stage two. Begin Global Computer Information Search and Retrieve System.


"System complying. Search and Retrieve System beginning startup."

excellent. And when I am done, no one, not even Xavier will be able to stop me.

OOC: Sorry for writing out of character. But I have a question. I just want to make sure I have this right before I post. Is Jean and Xavier the only people at the mansion?

Magneto's got us going on another mission. This time we're supposed to be looking for a possible powerful mutant who might be interfering with his plans; not that I know what his plans are exactly. He told Remy and me to keep a low profile so we had changed into our civilian clothes and headed towards the location of the mutant in one of Magneto's cars.

I took the GPS and Gambit drove. "I wonder what the mutant will look like." I say.

"let's hope it's not a giant monster about to terrorize the city. We can do without more bad publicity." Remy repies.

As we approach the town I notice that the mutant signiture was moving kind of fast and in our direction. After a while, though, it seemed to have settled down. I direct Gambit to the location and it led us closer and closer to the mutant. I had been keeping my eyes peeled for any thing that looked odd but to no avail. But in case it is a dangerous mutant and it comes after us, we have our uniforms in the trunk.

We get out of the car at what seems to be somewhere very close to the mutant. We decide to continue the search on foot. I look around carefully for the mutant as to return a positive report to Magneto, but Remy doesn't seem that interested. Then the GPS beeps. I hadn't checked it in a while but I check it now and see that a large group of mutants is heading towards us and is very close. "Hey Remy, we got trouble." I say.

"The X-Men?" he asks.

But before I can answer, A large black jet appears in the sky and lands on one of the buildings in the distance.

"We'd better make this quick," I say,"or Magneto won't be happy."

[rapper]

OOC: No, Logan (Wolverine) is there too. Ah, you're planning you break in, your master is pleased.

OOC: sorry but i told in my last post that logan(wolverine) and aurora(storm) is off in a mission, but they can't be counted out cause they could return anytime (even before colossus attacks if you like). and yes jean and the proffesor are the only ones in the mansion. i'll make my post later.

I landed the X-jet on the rooftop of an abandon building. I hope they don’t start tearing it down while it’s up there. I’m the first to disembark and look for signs that we are detected. When I was sure that no one is there, I called for them to come down and they all formed in a semicircle with me on front.

“Ok guys, keep your eyes peeled for anything unusual. We don’t know who he or she is and what he or she can do. Alright, lets go!”

They all stand on attention, saluted and said, “YES SIR!” and then all marched towards the roof’s door leaving me with my head down. I guess they’ll never give me a break.

We went to the location of the last mutant activity and start looking there. It’s highly unlikely that whoever he or she is would be still there, but what can we do. The location is a 2-story building, according to the elevation of the reading Cerebro got, it must be a room in the 2nd floor. We went in until we found ourselves outside a room with a big looking guy. I motioned on rogue and she ran towards him. She took the man by surprise and touched him before he could draw his gun. I covered her every movement, ready to fire if he reached for his gun. I opened the door and we entered an office like room. There in the middle of the room is a desk, and sitting behind it looks like the boss and he looks mad about something.

I stood out in front of the mansion. Looking from the gate in. "How should I do this? By the looks of it, it seem know one is here at the moment. But I know they have a good security system. Guess I'll do it my way." I walked back a little bit. I just stood there just looking. By well of thought my body was covered in organic steel. I then ran towards the gate. Breaking it down as I ran threw it. Once the gate was broke threw the security system was active. All the guns then where turn towards me. I stopped for a second as the guns where shooting towards me. I was thinking about destroying them all, but then it hit me. Magneto was pretty serious on what he wanted me to do. I then looked at the front door. A steel door then came down in front of it. I then ran towards the door. I then punched a hole in the steal door. Then with me other hand I grabbed the steal door. I then ripped the door clear off. Then went in side. Started looking around the place and didn't see any one." Time to get to work."

January 27th, 7:14am


I wake with a start, the memories of a dream slipping back into my subconscious. Must've dosed off for a couple minutes.

I stretch before lifting myself from the lumpy mattress, tripping over something on my way to the bathroom.
The briefcase I'd taken, laying right smack in the middle of the floor. Bending down to retrieve it, I check out the locks, trying to figure out a way to pry it open. I'll have no luck with it this way.
I hold my hand over the edge of the leather case, watching with a smile as the golden clasps age and rust within seconds. The acceleration of time always puts the least amount of stress on my left side, making it the simplest time fluctuation to use.

Inside are several useless files, a few business cards, about $10,000 in cash, which is FINE by me, and what looks like a single blank CD-ROM. Whatever that guy Jonah was looking for has to be on this disk.

Placing the money and the CD inside my black leather trench in the closet, I quickly use the restroom, slide on my coat, then head towards the door.

I land with a painful thud as it's kicked inward, a large tattooed man stepping into the room and onto my right hand before I'm able to realize what was going on. I try desperately to pull my hand from under his boot, tears forming at the edges of my eyes as crunching sounds emit from my fingers.

A large steel toe comes in contact with my jaw as I struggle with him, crushing the side of my cheek in a mind numbing blow.
He leans in close to me, smiling at the blood that runs freely from my mouth and nose.
"The CD, freak. Where is it?"
He's one of Jonah's guys, has to be.

I slur through my now broken jaw, the agony of moving it being the last thing on my mind.
"I dun knoow."

He chuckles,
"Maybe THIS will refresh your memory." His left hand pulls a revolver from the holster around his chest, the index finger depressing the trigger. Two bullets tear through my right leg then into the floor, pulling from me horrific screams of pain.
"Basstud." I choke out of my clenched jaw, not that he cares.

He makes a kissing gesture at me, then aims the gun at my forehead.
"If I were you, I'd cough it up doll."

It's sort of ironic, someone like me running out of time to come up with a plan.
"Get offf meh tubby."
The hand under the boot stiffens, giving off a flashing glow in my eyes alone. His foot crashes through the now old and rotting wood below it, freeing my abilities from the bonds of a biker boot.

His position is midair when things around us cease motion, giving me just enough time to fix the damage he's caused.
The fingers pull out and crack back into place as the time area around it speeds forward, healing it in just a few short seconds.
I repeat this with my leg, and then my face, reversing the spaces around me only enough to rejuvenate what I'd aged. Rising from the ground I seethe with rage, feeling as if it were boiling over inside of me.
He was going to kill me, either shoot me dead or beat me until I breathed my last breath. He's a cold blooded killer, no one would miss him....

The walls around me turn a blinding blue, his face twisting and tugging as the last remains of his youth melt away. Wrinkles form quickly, taking over his entire face and body like a rotting disease.

No...what am I doing? I lower my hand, breathing deeply in an attempt to calm myself. I bite back the tears, trying to repress a similar memory that's threatening to arise again.
The now old man topples to the floor in front of me, unconscious and in shock.
Far in the distance I can hear sirens approaching. Great, now I have to find another place to live sooner than I'd anticipated on.

I stare down at him for a moment before freezing the building. He's just a hit man, as soon as I gather my things, I'll head straight for the source....Jonah himself.

The guard at the door is completely out of it, but I'm too riled up to pay close attention to that fact, heading upstairs just to plant my foot into the handle of his office door and storm inside. I hold the disk in front of my face.
"THIS is worth killing me for, Jonah?!"

His attention falls on me,
"Epoch."

I stop short, the other people in the room not quite people at all. Mutants.
"What is this?"

He points, as all the eyes in the room fall on me.
"That's her, right there."

Backing up I try to decide whether I want to stop them in their tracks, or find out what they want from me. Are these the goons Xavier sent to find me?

"Beginning."

"Excellent. Access SHIELD computers and retrieve reset information."

"Complying.

They system whirs as the data retrieve begins. I sit back in thought. After this I can fully begin the execution of my plans. I hope Colossus gets here soon with the Cerebro files. With them I can know everything about this mutant. Sex, powers, and other important information. But if what I think is correct, this mutant could prove very useful to my plans.

“Who the hell are you?” Jonah, the man behind the desk said.

“I’m we are X-men. We are looking for a girl with unusual abilities.” I answered.

“Well I don’t know anyone like that, and you have no business being here. Boys get them!” he motioned to the two goons standing on either sides of him. They took out their handguns and pointed it at us.

I quickly fired to beams, hitting their gun dead center and propelling them harmlessly away from the two goons. Jonah opened his desk drawer and attempted to reach his gun.

“I won’t do that if I were you,” I said in a menacing voice, my visor glowed as if it’s straining to hold the power inside.

“Ok, ok,” he quickly said pulling his hand out of the drawer and raising them up.

“Where is she?” I asked once more.

“Her name is…” he started to say when the door flew open and out came a woman.

"THIS is worth killing me for, Jonah!" she said, holding a disk in her hands and have murder in her eyes.

“Epoch!” he finished he quickly stood up and prepared to flee.

"What is this?" she asked confused maybe because this is not the scene she thought she would see when she first opened the door.

"That's her, right there." He said pointing at her as he begins to shake like a leaf. Who is this woman to instill terror just like that?

She begins to back away all the rage turns too fright.

“Don’t be afraid, were not gonna harm you. We just want to talk.” I said in a gentle voice.

He stopped moving but still ready to vault in a moment’s notice. She reminds me of Rogue somehow.

“Hey you,” I said to Jonah, “Get yourself and your men out.”

Jonah and his men raced each other out of the room leaving us alone to talk.

“We are called X-men,” I started, “We are students of Professor Charles Xavier’s school for the gifted. Prof. Xavier wants to talk to you if you want and maybe teach you about your gifts.”

I stopped there cause I know the Prof. would explain it much better than I am but I know she will not come without some sort of explanation. Now I wait what her answer will be.

“We are called X-men,” He explained, “We are students of Professor Charles Xavier’s school for the gifted. Prof. Xavier wants to talk to you if you want, and maybe teach you about your gifts.”

I eye them all, relaxing enough to put a smile on my face.
"X-Men, huh? I figured if Xavier had sent anyone, they would have already tracked me down."

He shook his head slightly, confusion lingering on his face,
"I don't-"

I cut him off,
"Don't worry about it." I wink at the mutants behind him, and extend my left hand, "I'm Epoch....and I'd love to meet Xavier."

"I'm Epoch....and I'd love to meet Xavier." She said extending her hand

I shook her hand releasing a breath of air in relief. Maybe she is not like Rogue at all, We have to fight Rogue first before she joined us.

“Ok, lets go team.” As I went to the door.

“YES SIR!” my team said again saluting me. Epoch has a confused look in her face, she may also be suppressing a laugh.

I stopped and drooped my head, “Come on guys I saluted the Prof. in mistake. I was just caught in the mood, will you please drop it already.” I pleaded. I take it back I’m not the leader of this group, Jean is. Prof. X just wants me to post as a leader so the enemy would go after me first.

We went back to the building where the X-jet is parked. Epoch saw it and was amazed. As usual I’m the last to board to be sure no one is left behind. The X-jet slowly rise from the roof and turns it nose toward the direction of the mansion. I accelerated and hit the top speed in just a few seconds throwing everyone back to their sits. I hate to leave Jean alone with the Prof. but I think that is the right decision rather than all of us going leaving the Prof. by himself. I just hope nothing happen while we are away.

I sit at the counter drinking a hot cup of tea thinking about how they are doing. "It has been over an hour since they left" I think to myself as I listen to the news on the television. I then move into the computer room to monitor some business I need to take of, my tea starting to cool down. Several seconds later I hear an alarm go off over the entire school

"Alert, Security Systems have been activated. Subject is Male Homo-Sapien Superior. Caution"

I send a telepathic message to Jean to go investage but I am stopped by a video feed coming in through the Computer.

For a few moments our communicator video feed beeps, then we get contact.


"Charles Xavier, my name is Nick Fury head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and we need your assistance."


"I have heard of you from Logan."


"Yes, he is a mutual friend."


"What help do you need?"


"A few hours ago the satelite that protects our Computer system was destroyed by magnetic interference. You get the idea?"


"Unfortunely yes. Magneto."

Suddenly all systems go dead.

"What the hell was that?"

"Sir, all our systems have gone dead. Another system is retreiving information."

"With the sattelite down we're helplees. Damn it do something."

Remy and I head back to the car to figure out a plan.

"Do you figure the X-Men are searching for this mutant too?" I ask.

He answers, "Most likely, but it won't be too bad if the X-girls are with them."

I'm guessing that he's mostly referring to Rogue because they seem to have a little something going on. I laugh to myself but then I notice that the mutant is heading away from us and closer to the location of the X-Men on the GPS.

"Hey Remy, it's moving again," I say as we turn around and run to get info on the mutant before it's too late. We are runnung through a crowd that just seemed to have gotten bigger after we went after the mutant. We get closer and closer to the mutant as I start trying to pinpoint it, but with all these people it is not an easy task. I notice that Gambit is squinting so that he won't blow our cover with his red and black eyes. Soon, the crowd subsides and I see a girl about to enter the building where the X-men areand she is in what seems to be the same location as the dot on the GPS. I show it to Remy and we figure that she is our mutant, but we didn't have enough time to investiigate because she had already gone in the building.

Gambit goes after her but I stop him. "Remember what Magneto said? We're not supposed to approach her, besides, the X-men are in there somewhere!"

"Do you think if we climb the fire escape, there would be a window, we could be lucky enough to get some info from it?" He asks.

"It's worth a try," I say, "let's go." and we hurry up the buildings fire escape.

We only get to the second floor before I see the X-Men through a window, and a guy sitting at his desk. I let Remy know, and we peek through the window listening hard. Time seems to pass slowly as I fear we might be noticed, but then our mutant bursts through the door. I take note of what is happening, while Remy studies her appearance. It seems that they are having a calm conversation and she goes to meet the professor.

After getting all the info we could, we drive back to our base, glad that we weren't noticed. I wonder how Magsy'll take the information though.

My ears ring lightly as the engines turn off, the extreme noise suddenly dying with the single motion of a hand.
"The alarm's been triggered."

I yawn, the lack of sleep I'd gotten last night finally catching up with me.
"What is it?"

The door of the jet opens, all of it's occupants aside from me exiting.
"I'm not sure, but we'll go find out...stay here."

Right, I get to wait behind when they're the ones that wished for me to come in the first place.
Staying seated for a one or two more minutes, I wait until I'm sure they'd be out of sight before exiting the ship. I'm going to do some sight seeing while they are preoccupied.

_______________________________

7:26am


I slink silently down the hallways, listening intently for anyone or thing coming in my direction. I can honestly say, it's pretty boring in this place, though I haven't actually been able to gain access to many of the rooms....I don't need them angry with me already because I picked their locks.
That thought brings a smile to my face. Xavier's got to be kidding. With his abilities, he should know by now that I'd never join sides with him, or anyone for that matter.

Several footsteps jerk me from my thoughts...they're coming this way!
I run, trying to remember the turns to take me back to the jet. Skidding around the nearest corner I smash into someone, knocked to the ground for the second time today.
"I'm sorry, I-" I look up, an almost sinking feeling at who...what I see in front of me. "Holy sh-" I stop short, the thing in front of me apparently not to happy about something....
At the last moment I figure out what's on this man's mind, grabbing a small disk from the floor seconds before he could again wrap his fingers around it.
"You don't work here do ya, big guy?"

I begin to sprint as he reaches for me, trying to conserve some energy just in case I'm forced to strain my already exhausted resources.
Where the hell are the X-Men?!

It happened so quickly, I could honestly not recall the exact events later on....my footing was lost as I rounded another turn, a large hand wrapping around my shoulder. Backing up on the floor using my feet, I held my hand out in front of me as his fingers came inches from my face. With a blue flash, he was immobilized.

The object in my hands became the second disk today that I hold secretly in my possession, joining the other one in the pocket of my black trench coat.

Again, I hear footsteps, this time heading my way.
"Over here!!!" I shout, trying to hold on to this beast until they got here.

I wonder what's on this disk?

I lean back, listening as the system whirs. My information search and retrieve system has reached into the computers of S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, and without their precious satellite their systems are helpless.

Nick Fury
"Damn it, do something."

I throw my cigar down and light up another one. With the satellite down, our systems are vulnerable and the back up security systems aren't responding.

"What information is being accessed?"

"I'm not sure,"

He stops in mid sentence, I don't have time for this.

"What is it?"

"Oh my god they're accessing The Oceanus File."

My mouth drops open. My cigar drops to the floor. I pick it up.

"Stop them. Shut down the whole system if you have to. Get a chopper ready to go. Ready a strike team. I'm going to Xaveir. We need to talk.

Magneto

I look at the screen, the files coming in. It's too late. Even if they get the system down I have the files. I slip a disk into the slot.

"Download files onto disk. Save a back up copy to the hard drive."

I lean back in satisfaction. Now, if I can only get the cerebro files, stage three can begin. I look at a security camera, Pyro and Gambit have arrived. Hopefully they bring good news.

January 27th, 7:20am

We passed above the front gate and saw the destruction leading to the main gate. Pieces of the once front gate and the door of the mansion lays more than 10 feet to where they once been. Who could have done this? Who is capable of doing this? I feared the worst and tried to land as fast as possible.

“Everybody be alert when we land, I don’t know what is waiting for us.” I said over the X-jet’s COM line.

I landed with a thud and unbuckled my seat belt. I went to see Epoch before going out.

"The alarm's been triggered." I said

She must be tired or extremely bored cause she yawn before replying, "What is it?"

"I'm not sure, but we'll go find out...stay here." I replied.

I pushed a button near the door and it opens. If all doors in the mansion opens whenever someone came close. The door of the X-jet doesn’t because of one simple reason… what if someone comes near the door when the X-jet is travelling in supersonic speeds.

I, as always the first out but peek first before going out fully. When I think everything is clear I gave the sign to let the others know its ok to come out. We rushed to the computer center while I try to contact Jean or the Prof. to no avail. The corridor from the main door to the computer center shows signs of battle that means whoever came in was challenged but not stopped.

Surprisingly the computer room has virtually no damage but there sprawled on the floor is the Prof. and Jean. We went to them and see if they’re alive, to my relief they are.

“Shadow cat, Night crawler, stay here and take care of them, the rest of you follow me. We went back to the corridor and searched for the intruder.

We have searched most of the rooms but no one is there nor signs of damage. We are about to search another room when a shout captured our attention.

We rushed to the sound that seems to be coming from down the hallway. There we found Epoch on the floor with a guy that seems to be covered with steel. He seems about to grab Epoch but she managed to freeze him on the moment. Epoch is tired from the effort and released him but an optic blast from me pushed him away. A picture of Jean, lying in the floor flashed in my mind feeling me with rage so I fired a big blast at him pushing him through the wall. The guy have gotten his arms up to shield him from the blast but still it carried him until he was thrown against the perimeter wall and slumped to the ground. I went out the hole he made and tried to see if he is still alive. The guy stood up but now the steel covering him is gone. In a blink of an eye he again covered his body with steel. We stood there looking at each other waiting if who would make the next move.

As we head to the last place of mutant activity, I can't help but feel my adrenaline rush because we may be heading into a battle.

We enter the building, and after a small encounter with a bodyguard, we make our way into an office. A digruntled looking man is sitting in a chair. His goons fire at us, but we do away with them too. The rest of us watch as Cyclops interrogates him, and I wonder, what crawled up his--?

A girl suddenly enters the room, slamming the door behind her. We realize this is the mutant we're looking for, and after the guy and his lackys exit, we convince her to come with us to meet the professor.

7:20

After the flight back, Cyclops informs us that the mansion has been attacked and calms us down as a flood of fear and anger overcomes the team. The closer we get to the mansion, as far as I can tell, little damage has been done. (well, little compared to the attack. I don't know if I could go through all the renovations again, though!)

The new mutant, Epoch, I think her name is, was told to stay behind as we went to invigate.

We rush to the mansion and find something shocking, and Kitty exclaims exactly what I am thinking.

"Jean and Professor X! They're hurt!" Kitty shouts with a look of horror upon her face.

I look to Cyclops and, for moment, he gapes at them looking hurt; but then he seems to have snapped out of it. He gives Kitty and me orders to stay behind and take care of them.

Professor X comes to and I help him get into his chair as Kitty brings Jean to me. I teleport us all to the hospital wing; the strain is worth it.

"Are you two ok?"I ask.

"Magneto... planning an attack... One of his... intruder!" Professor X tries to tells us.

"I'm well enough to help the professor and myself. You two go ahead" Jean says.

"Are you sure?" I ask, knowing that she is hurt. But since she nods yes, I figure the others might need me so, "Kitty, I want you to stay with them. I'll go help the others." I say.

"Ok." She replies. and I 'port out to meet the others.

Gambit and I reach our Mt. Arrowrose base, a giant silver dome surrounded by snow. We enter, and head to Magneto's meeting room. "What have you found out?" he asks.

"Well, we found the mutant. It's a girl. She looks pretty normal except she's got blue dot's on her right hand, sir." I say. Gambit hands in our notes and Magneto flips through them.

"Is that all?" He asks.

"Well we were kinda pressed for time" Gambit explains.

"And why would that be?"

"Well, the X-men were there and umm.. they kinda asked her to go with them and she did..."I say.

My mind moves quickly as a large fight grows even larger, the other mutants instinctively following the first and supporting their friend.

Someone's bound to know that metal man was carrying something, and my window of opportunity is closing fast.

With the others distracted for probably some time, I disappear down the hallway, searching through several of the rooms before finding what I'm looking for.

I plop down infront of the computer, pulling the PC from it's screen saver mode.
Sliding the first disk in, I run it, waiting impatiently as it copies the files onto the computer. Repeating the process with the other CD, I enter into Netscape, attaching all files to a half composed email.
With one click, it's sent, the contents of both disks sent securely to an email address that only three people have the ability to access. It'll be safe until I can get to it again, in the mean time, I have to get back out there before they suspect something.

With little effort, I sneak back to my position on the ground, no one even realizing I'd moved at all. I'll give them both disks, to avoid any unexpected questions.
Now all I need is some time to rest.

Scott.

I was so happy to see him back, then again there was also a lot I wanted to talk to him about. I know he had two reason for having me stay. Watching the mansion and Proffessor Xavier was obvious with Storm and Logan gone, but I also can tell he's been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately. He doesn't see himself the way I do, as a brave, caring, born leader. He's always thought I should be in charge, perhaps because Proffessor Xavier and I share so much, but I know Scott's even closer to him then I am deep down. He's just got so many confliction thoughts -- but now's not the time to be thinking about that. Got to love Kurt's teleportation ability, certainly saved me from a long walk down to the hospital wing. Proffessor Xavier seems quite out of it, but Kitty and I don't have any trouble getting him up onto a table and checking him for major injuries. Thankfully he isn't too badly hurt. I feel more or less like a walking bruise.
"Kitty, stay with him."
Kitty looks at me startled.
"But I..you..."
"I'll be fine, I promise. Just please stay with Proffessor Xavier, okay?"
After a moment's hesitation, she nods. Smiling gratefully I take off down the hall for the others.

A slight motion catches my eye as I arrive where the others are. It came from a girl I'd never seen till now. Suppose Scott could possibly tell me where she came from...I can't be entirely sure, but something about her just doesn't seem...right to me. Gingerly I shake the vague thought from my head as I see Cyclops and Colossus facing off. Cyclops' optic blasts can prove quite a punch, even at their lowest settings. But I also know that the metal covering Colossus and deal with just about anything. My hands begin to raise for a moment before I stop myself. Cyclops can handle him on his own, without help from anyone, including me. Nonetheless, I keep my hands hovering slightly above, wavering for a moment where I might need to shove someone into a wall.

January 27th 7:50

This battle was making me upset. I really wanted to hurt this guy bad. But something inside wouldn't let me. His blast packed a punch it slowed me down for a bit. I decided that it was time for me to end this. I have what I wanted there's no reason to let this keep going. As Cyclops kept firing his blast I notice that Jean is ready to do something. I had to think of something and had to think of something quick.

"This have gone on long enough, time for me to finish this."

I then punched my hand threw the floor and pick up a big piece of it. I threw it at Cyclops with full force. As it was coming towards him he shot his optic blasts at it. Once all the piece blew up I was already in his face. I hit him with my shoulder sending him flying towards Jean. He knocked Jean over, both where on the floor. I then broke a piece off the side wall so that the ruble would cave down on them. I then looked at the others.

"You can stay here and save you friends or you can case me. Your choice."

I then ran out the mansion full force. My Motor cycle was on the side waiting for me. I then went back to my normal self. Jumped on my bike and left. As I was leaving something came over me. As I leaving I looked back and started to think what if I really did hurt them? I shook my head and tried not to pay any attention to it. But so how I couldn't. I reached in my pocket to see if the disk was still there. "Yes, Magneto is going to be proud."

I look over the data they have obtained before completely dismissing them. The mutant is a female. Other than some spots on her hands she is relatively human looking. I turn to my followers.

"Did she go willingly with the X-Men?"

Pyro kicks the ground before answering. "Well, um yeah pretty much."

Touché Xavier. I curse myself for underestimating you. Is destined to be like this, and eternal chess match between myself and Xavier?

"As I mentioned, go and meet with my son Peitro, also know as Quicksilver. Join yourselves with the mutant ban that I have put him over. Prepare them to move, and move fast. I may need a strike at the X-Men at anytime.

For the first time Gambit speaks, "Sure thing boss, any idea when it'll be?"

I feel a flash of rage at his insolence, but repress it.

"All I will say is be prepared to move at anytime. Now be gone."

I twirl away, my cape flowing as they exit yet again. I move over to my computer console.

"Begin reading Oceanus File. Project contents on screen."

I wonder when Colussus will arrive.

[Pyro]

OOC: Hold on. Did I miss something? Last I checked, Epoch had the disks and was about to give 'em to the X-Men. Maybe I just found the posts confusing. Do you all mean that maybe, when she froze Colossus, the disk was in a case and she only took the disk leaving the empty case in his pocket. So Colossus felt the case and thought the disk was still there. Am I right?

OOC:
the empty case thing is one idea also maybe he have two copies. colossus may think it's something important that it needs a backup. or maybe he picked it up when he finished dispatching cyclops :(

I resist the urge to scream profanities as large pieces of ceiling slam down on top of the occupants of the hallway, myself included.

For the second time today, I'm dealing with broken bones, and possibly serious lacerations, only this time, it's not just me. A small cut vanishes from my forehead as I push myself from the rubble, stumbling over to a new mutant that I've never seen before...a look of pain etched on her face.

I lean in close to her, trying to read her aura before deciding if I want to help out or not. Damn these lenses, I can't see a thing.
Some of their faces change as my irises become visible to them, the fact that they weren't green a revelation to some.
I gaze back at her...seeing....I see Xavier in her...not quite his level of expertise, but certainly someday.
"This will feel weird." That gives her little comfort as I place my hand over her twisted and grotesquely smashed right arm.

Appearing as if she's ready to vomit, her skin jerks and vibrates, the area around the arm speeding steadily through years before returning back to it's present status.
All eyes stare, an ability that I'm sure most don't think of when they find I can shift time itself.

My heart pounds violently in my eardrums, reminding me that this was a mistake...I should have rested instead...

"Hey are you...." I look up at someone I no longer recognize, the pain growing in my left side so immense that the ability of thought was unimaginable.

I...I can't breathe! Clutching my left hand, I fall back from my leaning position, cracking my head against the floor before slipping into silence.

"Damnit." I think to myself, Colossus tearing his way into the school as Jean and I lay on the ground. He almost has rage in his eyes, tearing down the doors and breaking tables.

***
Several Minutes Earlier (FLASHBACK!)

"Jean! What is going on?!"

I yell into Jean's mind looking through the Monitor, the metal beast using the objects outside to hit her. I decide I need to help. I leave the computer room pushing my wheelchair as hard as I can. I move through corners and get near the door but suddenly it comes out of it's hinges.

Colossus rams Jean through the day knocking her into me at 40 MPH knocking me out of my chair.

Back to current (END FLASHBACK!)

He starts to get more angry as the search goes on. He grabs me by my Collar lifting me into the air. He stares into my eyes, I can feel his heart, deluded by Magneato's evil. I am too weak from the hit to use my powers.

"Where is it old man?!"

"Wher.....where is wha-t?"

Clearly he is not happy. He is about to smash me into a wall as out of the clear blue sky he is pushed back, Jean used the last of her power to knock him back. I fall to the ground hitting my back. He is about to get up but then the X-Men return from the mission....with someone new. I smile slightly then pass out

I lay in a bed in the Medical room. My body hooked up to up to several monitors. I hear some of the students bring in the new mutant I sent them to get. They check on me to make sure I am alright, they then run out to check up on the others.

I slowly open my eyes and turn my head, I see the new mutant. I look at her deeply, the scars of years of her powers are taking a toll on her. I close my eyes trying to look into her mind....

Most of it is blocked, but there is something she can't remember, something she cannot block because she doesn't know of it. I look deeper into the caves of her mind. Suddenly I am taken to a small home, a man and woman are playing with their little girl. Signs of mutation are slowly starting to arise but are not really visable. The happiness in the room is very touching, but suddenly she tries to wake across the floor to her father. She trips over a toy and bangs her knee, slowly bloods comes out. She cries, she looks at her parents as they try to calm her. She puts her right hand out to reach for them, blue dots slowly appear on her fingertips then suddenly there skin begins to age at great speeds. "She is killing them" I think to myself as I take a step back.

They scream as their hair turns gray and their bones wither down to the size of Toothpicks. The little girl continues to cry violently as her parents slowly turn into dust. She couldn't control her power. I am suddenly taken outside of the home several hours later. A policeman holding her as she still cries.

"Ya think the parents skipped town?"

"No Mike, I knew these people. They wouldn't do this"

I am taken back to the room, silence everywhere.

"This day is just not going to be good."

Monday, January 27th 8:23AM

Colossus had made it back to magneto's base. As he was walking in he thought about what he have done. He felt as if his mind was split into. One side good and evil. He tried to put it behind as he was in front of Magneto.


Colossus: Is this what you want?

OOC: Sorry for how short it is. I couldn't really think of anything.

I smile as my mother brushes the hair from my eyes.
"Let's go, Charity, your daddy's gonna be home soon and we need to get you cleaned up first."

Her delicate arms wrap around me, lifting me from the mud that I so carelessly played in while wearing my Sunday best.

I hug her tightly, gazing at her beautiful face and feeling on top of the world. I love it when mommy and daddy hold me.

There's a blinding flash of blue, the image of the woman I love so much manipulating and rotting before my eyes....the room fills with screams, mine as well as hers.....


I yell out as I sit up, the vivid dream vanishing from my memory as soon as consciousness hits my eyes.

This happens far too often...glimpses of a long forgotten past haunting my future. No matter how hard I try, I can never remember what they were about, but I wake with a start and slight perspiration every time.

Turning my head to the side, my stare falls on a mutant laying on a table beside me.
It doesn't take me long to figure out his identity. I massage my left hand as I speak to him.
"You must be, Xavier."

He nods, his face flushed slightly. I wonder what's wrong with him?
"Yes, you were brought here-"

I interrupt him, trying to do him the favor of saving his breath.
"Before you start, I should tell you that I didn't come with your pets in the intention of joining your little team here. I simply came because I've heard a great deal about you, and was unbearably curious. You can't offer me anything that I don't already have, or at least, nothing that I haven't already been offered, so you're wasting my time, as well as your own." I pause, a wave of guilt washing over me...
"I'm sorry, that was rude. I know you went to some trouble to bring me here. I should at least hear you out."



OOC: I would go on, but that's too much playing another person's character. :p
Hope no one minds if I switch to this colour, the second one I mean...it helps out my image. ;)

8.30am, January 27th

I jump out of my mum’s car and wave to her “Bye mum”
I look up at the Mansion, “ahh no place like home” as I get closer to the front gate I notice a couple of things wrong, “Oh no!” I say out loud, “what’s happened here, why is the place looking torn up like this?”
I grab my bag and run into the front hall, as I look around I see nobody there, I shout out “ hey everybody I’m back me Evan Daniels ” I say with a joke, but I then realize that nobody is here, I decide to run up to the top of the stairs.
Once I reach the top I look over and see what looks like somebody to be in the Medical room. “Oh no” I say a bit too loud, “I hope nobody is hurt”
I drop my bag and run over the medical room.

As the door opens I look around and see Prof. Xavier lying down, “Professor, are you ok?” I say with concern, before looking at somebody else who is lying down

I light up another cigar as I step into the chopper. I sit in the co-pilots seat and motion to the pilot to take her up. As we fly forward I lean back and think. We don't know for sure that Magneto is behind this but it's a safe bet. If those files are in the hand of that madman..

"Sir, we're here." The pilot shouts over the whir of the propellor blades.

I look down. Yep. We're here. That's odd. The front gate has been ripped apart and there is a path of destruction leading straight to the front door.

As the pilot takes her down I get on the radio and try to raise Xaveir again.

January 27th 3 pm
9 am salem center time

"Stormy ya there?" i turn as the wind kicks up but still nothing.
" I am here Logan what is it?"
"Something stinks here. There ain't no scents down. There hasn't been for a few days at least. "
"What are you trying to say Logan?"
"There ain't no body down there to hassle. Either that or they don't have no scent, leave no tracks, and don't need to get food or air in them to survive."
"Logan you know as well as I do that Kitty can do some of those things while phased. What makes you so sure that the base is deserted?"
"I can smell kitty when she is phased. If there is someone that is down there that can hide from me, I want to meet em. That way I can either pop a claw in him or get him as a student and pop a claw in him with Chuck's permission."
"Truly Logan if I had not known you as longas I have I would swear you are always itching for a fight."
"I am always itching for a fight but I tamed that beast a long time ago. Now come on I need to check this place out closer."
"Logan, NO! we were told only to observe. To approach would go against what Charles has entrusted us to do."
I creep up on the base looking in through the windows as the security turrets pop up and start firing rounds into me. I dodge most of them but a few make it in before I can disable the guns. That's alright though. There was a trick I always wanted to show Roro back there.
"Ororo there is something you need to see down here." All the thoughts of the trick I wanted to show here having passed as soon as I had came to the window and saw just why I couldn't pick the kid up on my senses.
" Logan are those what I think they are?" I nod not knowing what to do, but carry her back to the X Jet. Storms face never shifted from the passive look but I coudl tell from her scent that I would not like to be in the shoes of whoever did this to this poor child.
I flip on the message screen adn wait for the signal to be picked up.
"Charles it seems that we have found a girl in the base apparently she was left there for days and has no way for me to even know she was there. but when I got within a hundred feet something happened she popped claws from her hand, bone claws. They seemed to just disappear as soon as storm approached. We will be back shortly Logan Out." I turn to storm and ask " Who would that to a kid?"


OOC: Okay well I wasn't exactly sure what kind of mission they would have been on but I figured that if Cyclops would go on one then it would Work for Storm and Logan too. Sorry if anyone was goign to use storm and I kinda ruined your plot. well that's all for now.

I woke up as jean finished treating my cuts and bruises. She said I got a concussion when colossus hit me. We were lucky that she could erect a barrier before the wall fell on us. I guess I owe my life to her…again.

I could have handled colossus. I have trained to exhaustion just to prepare for every situation. The only thing I didn’t do is train under Wolverine. Well, I’m not that desperate. Training under Wolverine is a death wish.

I stood up and went straight to Prof. X. It’s because of me that he was hurt. It’s because of me Jean was hurt. And it’s because of me that colossus got away. It’s time for me to make the best decision I could do.

“Professor, I would like to resign as the leader of the X-men.”

"Is this what you want?

I stare at Colossus for a moment. He stands before me, a CD case in his outstretched hand. Ah, at last.

"You have done well my servant. You should be proud of yourself."

He nods in satisfaction as I take the case. I hold it carefully, almost as if it is a sacred object. I gingerly open the case. Empty. EMPTY!

"EMPTY! You fool, this case is empty. There's no CD in here." Xavier has played me for a fool.

He backs away slowly, "Master, you don't understand. I copied the files like you said, I don't know what happened."

"Were you ever unconscious or captured?"

"Well, for a moment a strange mutant that I have never seen before attacked me. For a moment I felt a strange feeling. When I woke up I felt the case so I assumed that it was still there."

I smile. I'm not the only one that has been played for a fool. Xavier has apparently been fooled as well. There is more to this mutant than meets the eye. This however does not change things. I look at Colossus in his organic metal form. Using magnetic force I lift him off the ground and bring him a few inches in front of my face.

"Don't you ever fail me again." He quickly nods yes. I send him flying backwards into a wall. I hold the plastic case in hand and squeeze hard. Plastic shards drop to the floor. I turn again to Colossus.

"Join Pyro and Gambit. They are with the so called Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Be ready for a strike at any moment."

He turns and leaves. With a blast of magnetic force I destroy a metallic ball sitting on the floor. Shreds of it go flying. I must have those files. I will have those files.

[SuperBoy]

As Colossus was leaving he started wondering why did he flip out over a disk? He thought if it could anger him so much that it must be very important to him. So next time he well make sure he well not fail him on another mission. Colossus then transformed in his normal state, got on his bike and left to join Gambit and Pyro.


OOC: Just to let you knew DK Magneto's power's doesn't work against Colossus. Because Colossus in his transformed state is technically not a metal. His skin becomes an organic matter with properties similar to metal, but much more flexible.

"Professor, are you all right?"

What an odd power....I wonder if it hurts when they extend from his body...
I look at the boy in front of me, a small grin forming on my face as he stares. I'm having difficulty determining whether he's looking at my twitching hand, or my solid irises.
"Epoch."

He shifts, "Huh?"

I sit up completely, still clutching my left palm in my right. "My name...." He stands there for a moment before I realize he's still waiting for me to continue. "It's Epoch."

"Oh..." His gaze falls on Xavier, probably trying to reaffirm that I'm all right.

I laugh under my breath. "Are you gonna tell me yours, or should I just call you Kid?"

"Spyke."

Ah, another name that matches the mutant's powers. "Does it hurt?"
Before he can answer me, the mutant from earlier today enters, his face slightly flushed.
"Professor, I would like to resign as the leader of the X-Men."

Well, so much for my little "chat" with Xavier. I hop off the bed, smiling at the occupants of the room before asking for the location of the restroom. I leave the boys alone in the room, trying to figure out how the heck I'm gonna get out of here without any problems...

[Mole14]

Ooc: i know it's short but i dont know what to put :D

I stand there looking at the women, "So your name is Epoch" i smile and there look at my extended spykes, i retract them still smiling.

"No" i say now the smile begins to fade
"Huh?" she says a little confused
"You asked me if it hurts, well it does'nt"
"O,ok" she says
"so, would anyone mind telling me what exactly happened here?"
I look over at Cyclops, "heya, i aint seen you for a while"
I then sit down waiting for a response

My head rests against the soft pillow. My eyes at rest as Evan wakes into the room

"Professor! What happened?!"

"It is a long story Evan, long story"

Evan then has a small conversation with Epoch. They talk back some words to each other when Epoch is about to say something, Scott walks in

"Professor, I want to resign as Leader of the X-Men"

My eyes suddenly open up as I hear these words. Epoch walks out of the room and heads to the restroom. I am in shock at Scott's words.

"Scott, but why?"

"I could have handled Colossus, I could have took him out before he hurt me, before he hurt Jean and before he got away. I don't deserve to be a leader of a team such as this when I cannot handle one man? I just ca--"

I need to go on a ride. I slowly walked to the garage and went inside my car. I drive at a leisurely pace letting other cars overtake me. I need to think, I must think. Yes there are times that I have done good being the leader. Most of the time I suck and need the others to bail me out. There was that one time when quicksilver ran circles around me. Jean has to levitate him off the ground for me to hit him.

Just look at my mutant power. Someone with a portable laser generator could do what I can. The Prof. said that my mind is clouded but everything is much clearer now. I know Jean can do a better job as leader.

I went back to the mansion and straight to the medical center. If I make Jean as temporary leader for a while then Prof. X would see it my way.

I was about to deliver my speech to Prof. X when I came to a face I’ve not seen before. Logan and Ororo are here too so maybe they brought her. She looks scared and the Prof. is talking to her when I suddenly came in and she looks at me. I was about to introduce myself when a very powerful beam came from her eyes. The beam hits me with so much force that it propelled me through the door and to the wall leaving a dent. I guess I must be lucky that I’m immune to optic blast but the impact still hurts. I passed out while hearing all of their voices calling my name but strangely Jean’s voice seems much clearer as she shouts.

“Scott!”

January 27 8:52

I motion to the helicopter pilot to take it down. As we descend to the lawn of the mansion I take a quick look around. The front gate has been ripped up a is laying is pieces. The front door has had the same treatment. As the chopper touches the ground I throw my cigar to the ground and crush is under my boot.

As I step out I hear a scream coming from inside the mansion. Not sure what's happening I run inside a few well armed men behind me. I reach for my gun but decide I don't want to spook anybody.

"Stop right there."

I look up at the balcony. An African American teenager is standing their, the tips of some bony spikes protruding from his skin. I search my mind for a name. Evan something I think they call him Spyke. Before I realize what's happening one of my men fires his taser. The kids swings to the side and fires a spike that nails the weapon to the floor.

"You heard me dammit! No shooting!" I scream at the guy. I think the kid is about to fire another one when I hear another voice.

"It's okay Evan. He's not here to mess with us."

I look at the speaker. Logan. He's dressed in his Wolverine costume but with his hood down showing his face. I quickly ascend the stair case and look Logan in the face.

"I must speak with Charles Xavier."

I'm sorry but the Professor isn't feeling well right now."

I look at this new speaker. I think her name is Jean Grey or something like that.

"It is an urgent matter. I must see him." As I finish the sentence I hear another voice in my head.

It is okay. I have sensed your presence since you arrived. Come on in and see me."

I don't think I could ever get used to hearing voices in my head but I head on in to the medical bay. Jean leads the way. As I enter I bump in to a mutant I've never seen before. She looks up a little and heads on past me. Inside it's a mess. Broken equipment laying everywhere. Then I realize that there's a kid lying huddled in the corner. Cyclops is on the ground not far away. He is just getting up.

"What was it you needed to tell to me that required a personal visit?"

I look at Xavier. "All right I'm going to be quick about. Not to long ago our computer system was shut down and a hacker got into our database and retrieved some data. Some of it seemed pretty useless, some maps of the ocean floor as well as some other little things. But what else he got wasn't so little. He accessed and downloaded the Oceanus File."

"And that would be?"

"Look, just by confirming the existence of this thing I'm committing a major security breach. At the height of the Cold War panic a scientist named Lionel Barrows planned and created a Doomsday system. He calculated and temperature that a laser would have to be and the exact spots it would have to be applied to melt the polar ice caps in just under two and a half-hours. The lasers would be fired from satellites orbiting above the poles. He calculated that undersea bunkers could be built to protect a third of the American population. Plans for the whole thing as well as the undersea shelters were collected in what later became known as the Oceanus File."

"Why weren't the plans destroyed?"

"That the thing the government realized what an insane plot it was but they also decided to keep it. They buried that thing under the highest security clearance. Only a few people know about it. I don't even know how the hacker found out about it but he did. There is one good piece of news. A team of scientists realized that the heat generated by the lasers would vaporize any satellite they were fired from. so they makes the plan virtually unusable. But still it's no less comforting knowing that some madman has the plans out their."

[Mole14]

I look around trying to decide what exactly has been happening while i've been gone, "Could some one please explain to me what i missed?" i say looking a little angry. I extend my spykes and fire 1 at the wall, "Sorry" i say looking ashamed "it's just that im angry by the state of the mansion"

January 27th, 8:52am


I splash the water across my face, watching the droplets slide slowing down my flushed cheeks. The reflection in the mirror frightens me more and more with each passing day, signs of my disease growing far more apparent.

Some call the abilities mutants possess a "miracle" or "gift"....I call it a curse. Throughout my childhood I wished nothing more than to be regular...to be accepted. I was never granted that normalcy, my eyes, hands and the parts of my past that I could remember, all giving others reason to discriminate and make my life a living hell.

I sigh heavily as the last of the aching pains course through my left side. The stress of my activities are finally taking a serious toll on me. Like I said, a curse.

Straightening out my jacket to better conceal the CD's inside, I unlock the door, look both ways and head in the direction that accurately appears to lead outside.

Once outside it doesn't take me long to locate a vehicle to leave in, a healthy choice of cars and motorcycles most that are able to exceed 120mph.

"Where are you going?"
I shake Xavier's voice from my mind, trying to leave quickly before he sends one of his little pets out to stop me.

Pulling out my tools, I slide on the nearest bike, and begin slicing wires, smiling largely as the engine comes to life. I ignore several yelling voices behind me as I speed off, maneuvering around the broken gate.

I'd seen what I'd needed to and I flat out refuse to be schooled and reformed into an upstanding "mutant" citizen. That place just has the aura of one of those over the top sensitivity cults..."We love and accept you for who you are." No thanks...

After a few minutes of silent cruising, I relax, taking the time to enjoy the scenery and start brainstorming on a new place to live. The police were most likely all over my old home by now, the gunshots drawing plenty of unwanted attention from the neighbors. A hotel will suit me perfectly for the time being.
I speed up, the road feeling as if it's crawling passed me only slightly faster than a slug.
It isn't too long before boredom sets in.

_________________________________________________

9:21am


It seemed that I'd been driving for an eternity as the first signs of civilization crept into view.
'Note to self: Next time catch the jet out of there.'

I pull over at the first motel, double checking my wad of cash before approaching the desk clerk.
"Hi!" I grin at him.

Not bothering to answer, he shifts his weight, the look on his face tense enough to drive away any well paying customer.

The fact that the town closest to an all mutant school is in fact afraid of mutants puts an amused smile on my face. You have to love life and it's swift kicks in the teeth.
"Room #2." He grunts, obviously none too happy that a freak is staying at HIS motel.

I wink at him.
"Thanks."

Brushing off the rude comments he utters about me while my back is turned, I head for my room....just long enough to unload a couple things and put in my last pair of green contacts. Maybe that clerk will take back all those mean things he said now that I look human again. I laugh at the thought...

His eyes burn into me while I walk by him, the hatred radiating from his every pore. I love humans.
Stepping back outside into the cold air, I glance up at multiple looming clouds in the horizon heading this way....a storm's coming.

Keeping my eyes on my feet and my hands inside of my pockets, I walk quietly down the street, only realizing the presence of the female mutant behind me as I entered a near by book store.

She continues on her way, walking past the entrance and glancing hurriedly at me before vanishing around the corner. Ahh, a shape shifter, those ones are usually quite a lot more trouble than their worth, but I'm never one to leave anything up to the imagination.

I poke my head out of the door of the shop, gathering stares from the storekeeping and many pedestrians.
Spotting her further down the street with her back towards me, I slide out of the entrance trying to make it back to my room before I'm spotted.
I'm not sure why, but I'm getting that serious urge to run like hell.

[BLACKHEART]

8:54 AM

After a little panicking Epoch decides to get out of Dodge. She quickly runs back into her room and slams the door shut using the deadbolt lock. She pulls her backpack from the closet and begins throwing things that she will need into.

A few seconds later the desk clerk knocks on her door.

“Go away” she says.

“Hey you made a mistake and paid more rent then you were supposed to. I could have kept it but I just couldn’t live with myself if I did” the clerks says to her.

She pauses for a second and then decides to open the door. She removes the deadbolt and opens the door. The clerk stands in front of her…

“It’s you!” Epoch shouts.

“That’s right girlie,” I say as I morph into my true form and connect with a roundhouse kick to her chest.

She falls to the ground, trying to get her breath back.

“The name’s Mystique and you stole something from me and now I want it back.”

Epoch raises her hand and mind goes blank as time stands still.

She throws her backpack over her shoulder and jumps out the window. As she gets her first leg out the window she begins experiencing a sharp pain in her left side.

Time begins to move again and I’m standing in the middle of her room dazed. I look down to where she once sat to find her gone. I hear a thump and see her falling out the window.

I jump out after her. She sits on the sidewalk on all fours trying to overcome the pain and confusion from falling out the window. Before she is able to get to her feet I kick her in the side and then stomp on her right hand with my six-inch heels. I press my heel in to her hand causing her great pain.

“Let’s try this again. You took something from me that is very near to my heart. The necklace is the only thing that I have from my life, from my mother. You took it and now you are going to give it back.”

“I don’t have it,” she responds.

“Don’t lie to me,” I say while pressing the heel further into her hand causing her more pain. I watch her face as she tries to fight off the pain. I point my gun to her head.

Epoch: “I’m not lying and if you kill me you’ll never get your necklace back.”

Mystique: “Where is it?”

I sense a car coming up behind us. I change into a boy Epoch’s age wearing a rock t-shirt and jeans. I pick up Epoch by her hand and lead her into the alley.

“Look girlie I don’t want to hurt you. I’ve been watching you. I feel your pain. I know what it’s like to have the normal one’s pointing at you. You know what I look like. I’m an outcast too. Just take me to the necklace and we can go on happily ever after. Now where is it?”

Epoch: It’s at my home.”

Mystique: “Then let’s go there and don’t try anything funny.”

I grip her right hand tightly and begin walking.

“Lead the way.”

Settings: The War Room, The Cockpit


"Ororo, while Wolverine and Rouge are on a separte mission, I want you and Beast to go and trace down Epoch at once. Cerebro has detected her body heat near the Bayville area and it seems our old friend Mystique is with her"

"Professor do you think Mystique as any contection with Magento this time?"

"Probably not, after Magento proved his true side to her. I pretty sure Mystique is solo"

"Why would Mystique want the girl anyway Professor?"

"I'm not quite sure Hank, you two must find out"COLOR]

With that said, Beast and I headed out but before we left....

[COLOR=darkblue]"Storm, Beast. I trust that you both will bring Epoch home to safety and be careful we don't know what tricks Mystique has up her sleeve."

As Beast and I walked towards the Cockpit, I couldn't help but sense Beast's hesitation. Beast is no stranger to these missions. Before he left to finds is way in human life. Hank, Logan, and I were Xavier's first students. He has trained us well, actually these are one of the times that he told us that we might face.

"Ororo, maybe Epoch herself is evil"

"Hank evil is something that is created with in, this child screams for help and as X-men we are here to protect her."

"Storm your thoughts are wise but maybe your wrong. Maybe we're all wrong about her. We are traveling around the world for this girl and look at us we finally located her but it's this feeling inside. This doubting feeling. Maybe we're all wrong about her. I mean haven't you been tempted to join the side of Magneto or any other mutant race that used their abilities to punish those who hate and fear us?"

Hank was right. Every mutant has there doubting point especially us X-men. We're the only one who have sworn to protect humanity but sometimes you just feel this demon inside of you. Wanting human to feel your pain, your torture. Maybe we're too late to reach out to Epoch. Maybe she already made of her mind to use her gifts for the greater evil.

As Beast put his head down in questionable pity, I put my hand on his shoulder to let him know that he's not alone. With that embrace we both entered the Blackbird and prepared ourselves for combat not just with Mystique but perhaps with Epoch herself. The girl that we are suppose to protect. God I hope Xavier is right, like he always is.

9:44am


"Where exactly are we going?"
She ignores me, gripping my hand a little tighter as we continue....I don't think she realizes that as long as I can turn my fingers away from my hand, I can use my powers on her.

Forcing her to stop, I smile.
"Look, I'm really not going to make it that far without resting. Let's just go back to my motel room so I can sleep."

She stands there for a minute or two, thinking over something I wasn't asking for, I was telling.
"30 minutes."

I pull my hand from hers,
"I'm gonna need more time than that. I don't think you understand what just happened to me back there...if I don't rest, I die."

Her face looks almost pleased at my statement...I can tell we'll get along just fine....if I don't kill her first...or vice versa.

"I'll be around."
She leaves my side...probably heading off somewhere to watch me while I sleep. It's enough to make you feel creepy inside.

Once she vanishes I let out a loud gasp, finally allowing my pain to visibly effect me. God this is annoying. What good are powers if you can't use them?

Clutching my left hand, I slowly head back towards the motel window, not wanting deal with that clerk...that is if she hadn't already taken care of him...

Pain and death have always been fears of mine...not so much mine, but that of others. I'm not sure why.

I slide silently back into the window, falling onto the bed with a loud sigh. I just need some sleep...

10:10am

I woke up with Jean kneeling at my side. Damn that hurts. I see the space where the door of the medical center once was. So that’s how someone feels when I shoot them with my optic blast. The worst thing is they all saw the whole thing. Not minding the pain I stand up and brush the dust on my clothes.

“Sorry, I’ll fix the door later.” I said without looking at them.

I turn to leave when a hand held my shoulder.

“Scott you’re hurt, let me look at it”

“I’m ok, it’s just a scratch.”

I walked to the garden wanting to be alone. The blast itself didn’t hurt but the impact through the door and to the wall does. This day just keeps getting better and better.

A high pitch sound came from behind shattering the tranquility of the garden. I quickly turn around and there floating in front of me is Magneto the master of magnetism. This is definitely not my day.

Yipers! I know we had a plan and all but I wasn't expecting that. I guess I'll have an RPG post up later.

:eek: Zoinks!

OOC: *pokes head in* Yeah, an unfamiliar face by now I know. Finally had time to catch up on all that I missed...and heck did I miss a lot! Just going to be a short one before I can fully jump back in here. Thanks for being dears and bearing with me!

IC: Jean Grey

Around 10:10am

Even without using my abilities I can see Scott's thoughts written all over his face, even though I know he does his best to hide it. I had heard by word of mouth, mansion's not that big, about Scott's little moment with the Professor. If only he knew how perfect he is to be a leader, I wish he could just be more confident. Course this day has been going less than well, and it isn't even noon yet! Looked like Scott took a bad hit from that blast, but it's not like he'd ever admit how much pain he's in or how he aches. Vainly I try and get him to lie still for just a moment longer, or to check him over, but he wont have it as I follow him to the garden ---

Something's not right

A blast thrusts me back and ahead of me I see Scott slam into the door and then the wall. Just how many times has he gotten battered today? Lowering my arms from my face I see the destruction of a portion of the garden strewn before me...Magneto hovering above it.

"Magneto!"

I can't help but exclaim. Why would he be here? To make such a direct attack on the mansion, it seems so unlike him. No doubt Professor Xavier is more than well aware that something's up.

January 27 around 10:12

Foolish mortals. For months I have waited, biding my time till the right moment. I'll wait no more. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants can rot in hell. My time is now. The time for homo sapien superior is NOW!

I glide over the earth, harnessing the magnetic field to move effortlessly. At this altitude know one can see more. Ah, Xaviers mansion comes into view as I slow my speed.

I eagerly look, hoping the time is right. Yes indeed fate is with me today. The one called Cyclops is sulking in a gardern.

Making my move I desencd to the earth. No doubt all Xavier will send his little pets out but I am more than prepared to handle them.

"Magneto!" Cyclops gasps. He stumbles backwards before firing an optic blast. I create a magnetic shield and easily delfect it. A grin strays across my face. I stare him right in the eye.

"POLARIS."

"Aaaaahhhh!" Cyclops drops the ground shaking for a moment then stands up rigid. Jean Grey comes running out of the mansion with the other pets right behind her.

"What have you done to Scott?"

"I have opened his eyes! No longer will he be blinded by your idealism! Go Cyclops defend us!"

Obeying my orders he starts to fire optic blasts into the middle of the X-Men. Charles wheels out into the sun.

"No Professor get back into the house."

"No, I will deal with Magnus."

I grip his wheel chair, pulling it forward. "Don't call me Magnus. I am MAGNETO! And don't think your mental assualt will work either while I'm wearing this helmet."

I tire of this game. I order Cyclops to my side. Willing a force bubble of magnetic energy around us we soar into the air.

9:45am


I roll over, staring at the ceiling for a minute or two before swiftly sitting up. This is ridiculous...now's my chance to run, and I'm laying down. What's wrong with me?

Grabbing my bag, I fling open the door, run down the hallway and outside into the sunlight. It takes me a minute to locate my bike and start it up. I can't fight her alone...I'm going to need help.

I turn back towards the direction I came from as I hear her voice yelling behind me...looks like I'll be staying at the mansion longer than I'd hoped.

_____________________________

10:15am


Glancing down at the speedometer, I smile, almost breaking 180mph and seriously feeling like I'm flying. She's long gone.

It doesn't take me too long to locate the mansion and navigate around the wreck of a front gate, hopping off the bike to search around the campus for someone. Hey, there they are....I stop walking, slightly confused at the situation unraveling before me. Who is that?

He and...Cyclops, I think, rise from the ground.
Charles doesn't look exactly thrilled as they ascend...I groan, my conscience telling me to interfere.
I'm going to kill myself if I don't stop.

"HEY!" I shout, gathering attention from all involved as I stand numbly infront of them. This should be interesting...I hold out my hand...blue erupting from my fingers....killing me inside.
'Just hold on for a second, Epoch...just for a second.'

10:13am

Magneto has surrounded himself and me with a magnetic field that allowed us to float away. Any attack done is easily deflected by the magnetic field and now Prof. Xavier tries to stop Magneto by a telepathic attack. It didn’t work because of Magneto’s helmet and used his magnetic powers to propel his wheelchair backward. That’s a good move cause he may try to use his telepathy on me.

Jean seems about to use her powers so I lift my shades and fire a blast through the field and hitting in front of her. The blast throws her back making the others attend to her. This is the best opportunity to escape.

Suddenly I hear something approaching from the gate. I look and see Epoch as she stops and posed to use her power. I don’t think so a quick blast sends her flying away.

Why can’t they understand this is for their own good and the good of all other mutants? Magneto placed a hand on my shoulder and I know I did well. With no more opposition we float up and disappear in the distance.

OOC: Hi, after going through the rigorous trial process I have taken on Avalanche, so uh, here it goes.

IC: Avalanche 10:30 AM
I walk out of the house, going to pick up the stupid newspaper. That jerk Pietro has been working us harder than ever lately, it's really ticking me off. But he and Magneto must be really stupid if they think we'll go along with them, or Xavier. But even though we could beat Pietro on his own, Magneto has other guys. We need to wait for there to be two or three here at a time.
I hear a barking sound from inside. "Blob, get me my lunch. I told you I need it by 10:30 or you'll be sorry you fat slob! Toad jump." "Huh!" Was his reply. "God, when I say jump You say how high!"
That jerk really has it coming to him. I pick up the newspaper and start to walk back. "Avalanche, it doesn't take that much time to get the paper! Blob where's my lunch! Toad get me my remote. Wanda clean up this mess!" As a I walk in I see two familiar faces approaching. This day might just turn out better than I thought.

IC: Magneto
Around 10:20 AM

Cyclops and I start to make good our escape. We fly unhindered through the air. A smile of satisfaction crosses my lips whena roaring sound catches my ear. I turn in time to see a mutant looking girl come roaring in on a motorcycle. She hops off the bike and runns toward us.

"HEY!" She shouts gathering the attention of the X-Men and myself. Can it be?

She outstretches her hands and something begins to happen. It's as if the world is spinning out of control. I'm hardling moving, I CAN'T move. She begins to weaken, the effect starts to wear off. Cyclops is able to fire a blast, knocking her backwards. We soar off.

10:30

We descend in front of the boarding house that is the home of the Brotherhood of Evil mutants. We walk inside. Instatnly everyone in the rooms stands up, a shocked look on their face. Collussus, Pyro and Gambit are standing in the corner. I address them all.

"The time is now my friends. The time is now. You are to attack the X Mansion with all your strenght, and whatever the cost, bring me the one called Epoch unharmed."

I turn to Cyclops and we leave.

[Animation Otaku]

OOC: DarkKnight you're such a slave dirver :D.

IC: Avalanche 10:45 AM
We see ourselves approaching the X-Men's mansion. I don't like to go along with it, but me, Blob, Toad, and Wanda can't take on all of them right now. We best stick to the plan, lead Magneto into a false sense of security.

We finally arrive at the gate to the mansion. Colossus goes metal and rams down the gate. Pietro zooms in, dodging past the security systems. I sigh, still tired of that showboat. Pyro and Gambit are doing there own thing.

The X-Men arrive out there. I grin, the odds have changed. I gather my strength and avalanche Pyro and Gambit. Toad catches Quicksilver off guard with a good kick. Both sides stare at us, and I grin. "Got ya'!" Magneto is going to regret the way he treated us.

To: King of the Blind

Thanks for the Jet. What I wanna know is why she has a shield serial number tattooed on her arm; Why she was left in that abandoned base; Why has Shield started taking up the cause of studying mutants? Leave helping the mutants to Chuck. I know he has their best interests at heart and if you don't, Patch will help remove that other eye for you.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man shall be king. You may have an army behind you in the little kingdom shield set up for you, but nothing will stop me from popping a claw in you if I find out that Shield is still using Mutants as weapons.

Patch out

I feel my blood boil, watching the little envelope spin as the message is sent. The half there ghosts of a past I don't remember, strokes at the heart of the beast inside me. My fist slams into the table top and I watch as broken pieces of wood fall to the floor. I have to retract my claws before I do anymore damage to the table. I open the window and jump out, sprinting towards the woods as the images in my head get more and more vivid, driving the beast inside to a frenzy. I run on pure instinct letting the beast drive me as I can feel the searing metal being grafted to my bones all over again.


I run silent as a ghost, not feeling the tree branches as they slap over my skin, and emerge in a stump riddled clearing with a Japanese temple in the middle. The beast loses its anger and an eerie calm settles over me. I could never stay mad here she was always there to calm the berserker inside of me.
"Mariko They are doing it again. They are trying to control us and use us. They up the risk factor that we represent then hate and distrust us because they made us this way. Chuck is doing everything he can but some of us aren't even that lucky. Magster has taken Cyclops, Rogue won't ever know what it is like to touch another living person without nearly becoming them if not killing them. We just had a new girl who pops claws, shoots eye beams, talks to chuck on his level, and can only mutter the words Mimi Cries over and over again. Not too mention she has the serial number on her arm, that if we hadn't found her, would have ended her life as a military pawn. NO one deserves to go the way I did. It isn't right or fair. What's the world comin to darlin'? What's the world coming to?

I walk back into the mansion slowly letting all this sink in. The sick feeling inside my stomach unwilling to go away. I get inside and send a message to Rogue asking her to meet me when she gets back in. I head to the danger room and turn the safety setting off and start the hardest program we had going. I just wish we could get something more challenging. I let the adrenaline take over, and start the exercise as I wait for Rogue to contact me.

10:17am


I'm thrown back in a painful burst, the world around me fuzzing in and out of focus as I try and recall what exactly I was thinking by sticking my nose in the middle of this.

For some reason the ability to move quickly is lost to me right now, images I can't quite make out bending down to lift me from the grass and carry me somewhere...I'm not sure.

I try to mumble something to them, but am silenced by the blackness that creeps over my eyes.


______________

10:30am


I open my eyes, the ceiling above me fairly familiar. I've been here once already today. The medical room in this place smells like some kind of clinic...it actually is making me sick to my stomach.

I sit up, rubbing the soreness out of my joints as I gaze around me, my eyes falling on a girl directly across from my bed.

She smiles at me, her eyes suddenly clouding over with black, and her hands reaching for me. Oh my god...she has...

I shriek out in pain, the blue light circling me in giant swirls of energy.

What the...?

I can feel my joints jerk and mold, shifting in the powers released by this girl's fingertips...by MY power.
I reach out my right hand, counteracting her in a last desperate attempt to save my life.

It's no good, my left side is still aging...

I tear myself from the bedtop, running as fast as the pain will permit me, into the hallway outside of the room.

It stopped.

I shake uncontrollably, the urge to vomit the most apparent to me at the moment. What the hell did she just do to me?
My entire left side burns, the feeling of death creeping through me. If I make it out of this okay, I'll kill her...

Rubbing the back of my left hand, I glance downwards, my breath catching in my throat at what I see.

Blue dots...on my left hand...

I take a deep breath, letting the massive possibilities of this situation sink in.

I've evolved.

[The Detective]

Patch. What does he think he's doing? I know nothing about mutant experimentation but even if I did that's none of his business.

The helicopter continues on. I try and forget the message, block it out with other things. Why do I always have to have a soft spot for mutants? I lean over to the helicopter pilot and shout in his ear.

"Change cours. Head to Area 51."

He nods and makes the correct adjustments. If anyone will know about this it will be those guys are Area 51.

IC: Pyro
10:45 AM (what day is it?)

We're launching an attack on the X-Men. As I shoot out the first flame from my flame thrower, I'm full uf exhilaration. I'm in my elemant now. -FWOOSH- one of the security bots go up in flames- and another.

The X-Men start to come start their attack. I shoot out more flames, and as I'm conjuring up a huge fire monster to attack them with, Avalanche makes an earthquake under Gambit and me.

I loose my footing and fall to the ground. I'm loosing my concentration, and the fire starts to flame out of control. "This is not good" I say. The fire continues to go out of control as I become more worried. Avalanche still attacking me doesn't help either.

Jean seems to put up some kind of barrier, giving me time to get my head together. I then put out the fire, and decide to keep her safe for the rest of the battle out of thanks.

Everything is ok, but I make sure to stay out of Avalanche's way. I don't understand why everyone doesn't seem to want to fight for Magneto. At least Colossus tries.

I focus on the battle again. I start shooting fire at what's-his-name, Spyke. I know it's not right to hurt people, but I can't help myself. I start to feel the excitement of battle once more. I keep reminding myself of my goal. "Remember what Magneto promised you," I keep telling myself.

OOC: I'll do Nightcrawler later 'cause I have to go now.

[Barb Gordon]

OOC: As a mod I'm setting such a bad example. Obviously school comes first, and this was my first year of college and all. Just got through my first week of vacation, and before that was dealing with finals for two weeks. As for the rest of my time went, with school and work aside, there is the matter of my father in the hospital...going on three months. 'nuff said there. Anyhoo, how many people are still interested in continuing this RPG?

IC: Jean Grey

10am or so. just fit it in somewere

God will this day never end?...and it's not even noon. Without a moment's thought I find myself helping Pyro as the flames he generated begin to race out of control. I think he just winked at me too....eck. I sigh inwardly, trying to do what I can to prevent the onslaught coming from Magneto's group. Where are you Scott? I need you...we all need you. Even in the middle of fighting I can't keep my thoughts focused on anything except Scott. What did Magneto do to him? Where did he take him?

"Scott, please...where are you?"

I find myself quitely asking aloud. I levitate for a bit as Avalanche goes a bit overboard with his powers against the others. I'm still trying to make sense of all of this. It's like half of Magento's group has gone against the other half...so now they're on our side? momentarily at least from the looks of it. Getting rather confusing to figure out just who is on who's side. I shove my muddled thoughts to the side and focus my attention back to the present matter, erecting an invisible barrier just as Colossus makes a run at Kitty and me.

[Animation Otaku]

OOC: Me still interested.

IC: Avalanche
10:50 AM
I pant heavily. The odds are in our favor but I'm still getting quite the work out. I've made a bunch of earthquakes already and I'm feeling a bit drained. I decide to let Wanda take care of Pietro. She seems to be putting her powers to good use against that arrogant little boy. Colossus is charging towards two of the X-Men including Kitty. I gasp, I can't let her get hurt.

"Blob!" I shout out at the oversized member of our team. He charges in front of Colossus, who bounces right off of him.

He grins. "No One Stops The Blob!" He proclaims. I sigh in relief and help Kitty and Jean get away from Colossus. Unfortunately that smarty pants Cajun Gambit catches me by surprise. I gulp, he has a whole deck charged up.

[Pyro]

OOC: Me too! I'm still in!!! But at the moment I'm a little irritated because I had written almost a whole post for pyro and was going to have a Nightcrawler one, when I left for a while, and thanks to my mom, All of it is gone now, and I don't really remember what I wrote. Anyway I'll post later.

IC: Epoch

11:00am


I don't know how I managed to once again find my way outside, but when I get there, I wish I'd just stayed downstairs.

One that can harness the power of fire, another that can teleport...wow, quite the bunch we have here.

I walk slowly towards them, mustering up as much energy as I can....time to try out my new strength.
A large man sheeted in organic metallic like material, begins another charge at two of Xavier's kids.

Show time.

I reach my hands outwards, sighing out of almost amazement at how easily the energy flows from my fingertips. If I had known aging my hand would've given me the ability to endure, and relish in my powers...I so would've done it years ago.

The huge mutant falls to the ground screaming in pain, his facial features very slowly starting to sag with age. I've never had this much control...never.

"Enough." I speak loudly and clearly so everyone can hear me. It only takes a minute or two for all eyes to fall on me. "First, I'd like to point out that the first person to even blink the wrong way will experience pain far worse than this mammoth right here. If you don't believe me...please...try it. And second, I want someone to explain to me who's who, and what the hell's going on."

No one steps forward or says anything for a short while, but gasps from a few of the kids on the lawn cause me to look down at my victim. Whoops...too much power...hehe.
I ease up, looking back at the crowd and finally pointing at someone to explain it to me.
"The guy with the fire....what's you're name?"

He doesn't look like he's wanting to cooperate, but a small scream from his friend convinces him otherwise.
"Pyro."

I smile,
"Pyro. All right, Pyro. Are you one of Xavier's?" The dead look on his face pretty much says it all. "I take that as a hell no."

His voice is loud and unshaken. I like him...pretty strong.
"Magneto."

I release the now pitiful old man.
"Magneto. Now there's an infamous name..." I pause, cocking my head to the side. "Why?"

It takes him a second to respond.
"To get you."

Intriguing...facing the quivering mass on the ground, I rapidly return him to his original state. He'll be shaken up for a bit, but fine in five or so.
"Me, huh?" I glance over at Charles' students. "This fight is over, children. And for the record, the next mutant to use their powers against one another is dust, got me?" I focus back on Pyro. "Take me to him."

I get the picture some of them are shocked..but frankly I don't care. The one chance I get to meet Magneto and I don't plan on passing it up.

"Wait!"
Someone from behind us yells just before everyone but the fire thrower and myself, stop frozen in their tracks.

I smile slyly at him,
"Tell me who's coming with us, and I'll let 'em go."

IC: Magneto

11:20 AM

Slowly I and Cyclops descend to the ground the snow crunching under our feet as we touch the ground. Not far from where we stand a silver dome rises from the white powder that surrounds this area. A smile plays across my face. This is perfect.

"How do we get in?"

"Ah dear Cyclops do you forget who you serve? For I am The Master Of Magnetism!" To underscore my words I reach out my hand, fingers spread my cape flowing to complete a regal pose. The magnetism leaps from my fingers gripping hold of the metallic dome, opening hidden panels creating a hidden doorway.

"Aaaa," is all that escapes from his lips. No matter. I move towards the open door with my now loyal minion following. Oh how I wish I could see the face of Charles now.

I walk through the doorway waiting for Cyclops to as well. As he does I extend my hand closing the portal we have passed through.

"Come Cyclops."

Obediantly he steps forward, "Yes?"

"Close yur eyes Scott."

Obediantly he complies.

"Do you ever grow sick of hiding behind that visor? That visor that only diminishes the mighty power you hide behind you eyes? Well hide no more!"

I send out a surge and grip control of his visor dropping it to the ground and shattering it as I do so. I reach out a hand and pull from a shelf his new visor. Black and gray with a metallic 'M' emblazoned on the front. Carefully I position it around his head.

"There Scott! Now instead of hiding your power you flaunt it! Nor do you have to worry with cumbersome buttons. This visor is controlled by the elictrical impulses of your mind!" I puase to direct Scott to a metal bloack of iron I have set into place. "Concetrate and fire a blast at that block!"

"If you say so Mangeto."

He stares at the block for a moment, and then a ruby red blast of pure energy escapes and crackles from his eyes, slams into the bloack and utterly destroys it.

"Whoah," he just stares at what he has accomplished.

"Did Charles ever teach you anything like that? Has Charles ever taught you anything but to hide your powers like somethg to be ashamed of while these inferior beings discuss what to be done with us?!"

"No..."

Excellent. While my post hypnotic suggestion has taken controll of him for now I fear it my wear off. It is best to fill his mind with the truth while he is still impressionable.

"Then come with me."

Loyally he follows while I storm into a landing bay filled with the metal spheres I use to transport my followers. I rip the door off a locker and inside is a black costume not unlike the one he wears now save for a red 'M' splayed across the chest.

"There Scott, is the costume you shall wear! Wear it with pride!"

"I will Magneto, I will."

This is excellent. I would chang his name as well but somehow I find the name "Cyclops" appropriate as they were greek giants of chaos.

As I exit the bay while Cyclops changes into his new costume my eyes play across a monitor. Pyro and the rest have returned, followed with, THE MUTANT! Excellent! My plans are unstoppable at this point!

Cyclops quickly changes and runs to my side while I head for the central control room. Impatiently I open the hidden door panels and take a seat awaiting the presence of this new mutant.

I rest my fingers on the arms of the chairs and rest my fingertips against each other. We are the fuutre will Charles ever realize that?

Within minutes Pyro appears in the dooryway a proud look on his face.

"Hey Boss you'll never guess what?!"

My impatience swells inside me. "Bring her in!"

He nods and turns around. Within minutes she walks in, the mutant known as Epoch.

She looks me over her head moving up and down.

"So you're Magneto? I've heard a lot about you."

Slowly I rise to my feet removing my helmet shaking my white hair as I do so. "Yes I am the one called Magneto. But do not be so modest. I have heard of you as well."

"Yes I gathered that or you wouldn't have asked to see me."

Aaah she is a spirited girl. She will be a fine addition to my ranks. Finally her eye catches Cyclops still standing at my side in a stoic pose.

"Isn't that one of Xavier's kids?"

"Yes he was formerly a student of Charles but now his eyes have been opned and now he is one of us."

"Us? Just who exactly is us? Waaaait a minute there if you think I came down here to join you're little club you're seriously mistaken. I wouldn't join Xavier and I'm not here to join you. Not yet. Maybe not ever."

"You misunderstand. While an offer to join me would not be turned down I expect nothing , nor ask nothing of you."

Skeptism. She is not a joiner. So be it. She will be persuaded one way or another.

"It's been my expeirence that when people say that they're fixing to ask you for something."

I smile a somewhat amused look on my face. "Aa my dear after such a biting remark I all most wish I didn't have to ask you for something for I indeed require something of you."

"And that would be..."

"Quite simply, Cerebro." Her face betrays inner confusion.

"I've never even seen Cerebro. Hell, I barely even know what it is."

I point to Colussus who is standing a few feet away. "But I do believe you have a disk that you "obtained" from Collussus?"

A knowing look dawns on her face. Her earlier confused look turns to a slight smile.

"So that's what all of this about? One disk?"

I merely nod. "Yes, one disk. But on that disk is contained the summ total of all of Cerebro's programming, files, and data."

"And this is going to help you how?"

"Once I download the contents of the disk I will have Cerebro. Every mutant ever detected, I will know of. Also, since I lack Charle's telpathy it will have limited mutant detecting power but nowhere near the level of the real one."

She nods slightly. "Now please, the disk."

"I don't have it any more."

No! It's impossible, she couldn't have given it back to Charles!?

"Not to worry, Magsy, I did download it the contents and sent it to a secure e-mail box."

I push the chair up agsint the wall and spark a computer to life. "Open it."

"Okay, okay, have a little patience."

I watch as she sits down and starts pecking away at the keyboard. I'm so close and yet so far away. With agonizing slownes she opens up her e-mail box then pecks in a password. One e-mail rests in the box. One with an attachment. Cerebro.

"So you want me to download it to disk, hard drive, both?"

"Let me take care of that. You just open the e-mail."

I watch as she does so and then I take it from there. She gets up from the chair and I open the attachment. I choose to download it with a custom program I wrote. The final download box pops up, the OK button glaring at me. I slip a golden disk into the disk drive and hit the OK button. I must download it to disk. Cerebro is written with a special programming language that would probably crash most computers. This disk is specially written to accept it.

"So long will it take?"

"Long enough."

A confused look comes over her face. I take the oppurtunity to lift two tubular metal bands from the floor. Before she realizes what is happening I spip both of them over her wrists then contract the atoms of the bands and squeeze the bands tight around each wrist.

"What are trying to pull!"

She lunges at me I can sense a surge of power starting to come to her fingertrips. I reach out a palm gripping the bands and forcing her hands right into her own face.

"Merely a precaution. As your loyalties can obviously not be trusted I must take staps to ensure that I do not find myself a victim of your power.

As I turn my back she moves her hand over one of the bannds. "Oh," I add as a side note, "don't try aging the bands. They're made of an adamtanium alloy I doubt even if you aged them several hundred years there would be any effect."

I turn back to the computer. AT LAST! The download is complete. Eagerly I pull the glowing disk out and head for another room. Slightly I nod to Epoch. "Come."

I head down a hallway and open a door. I step inside out onto a catwalk at the end of which is a highly advanced computer.

"So, this is Cerebro?"

"A copy."

I would explain further but it can wait. I slip the disk into the computer and begin the upload process.

"How were you able to make such a copy?"

"Because quite simply, I hehelped Charles build the original Cerebro?"

She looks somewhat interested but our conversation is cut short by sudden beeping. "File upload complete. Cerebro II is online"

"Yes! Now Epoch, welcome to, Cerebro II!"


OOC: :sweat: Boy that was a workout.

[Animation Otaku]

OOC: Sorry for being inactive for so long as well, let's get this rolling again.

IC: 11:25 AM

'Darnit'. I think to myself. We let a great opprotunity escape us, and we were winning too. Now that new mutant has gone to Magneto with Pyro, Gambit, Collosus, and Quicksilver. Can things get any worse? I motion for my teammates, we need to make some choices.

"Well," I tell them. "We've screwed up, we can't take Magneto on by ourselves." I remind them. I don't want to get the spirits down, after all, as leader I should keep my teammates feeling good, but I can't lie.

"But we don't have to." Wanda pointed out. I gie her a look.

"Huh? Oh, yeah!" Realization strikes me. It may be a bit of a longshot, but if it works we can finally be rid of Magneto.

"You! X-Geeks! You want to get rid of Magneto and save Summers, don't you?" I shout, turning towards them. My question is met with several nods and looks of bewilderment.

"Well, we want to get rid of Magneto as well. You don't like us, and we don't like you. But, Magneto is a formidable foe, and I'd be willing to put up with you guys in exchange for a temporary truce." There. I don't like working with them, other than Kitty, but we may have no choice at all.

[AceOfKnaves]

IC: Epoch

11:25am


Somewhere deep inside me is a scream, the restraints on my wrists a new and highly unwanted development. Who the hell does this guy think he is?! He thinks he can just frickin control me?!
I reach my hand over one, trying to figure out a way to deconstruct it's material.
"Oh," his voice is soft, but still filled with authority, "don't try aging the bands. They're made of an adamtanium alloy I doubt even if you aged them several hundred years there would be any effect."

DAMMIT! I'm really starting to wish I'd just stayed with the wheel chair guy. I follow him mindlessly down a corridor and into a narrow walkway. Looks like...
"So this is Cerebro?"

"A copy."

I pretend to be interested in what he's talking about, my mind racing on ways to get me the hell out of this.
"How were you able to make such a copy?"

He doesn't even look at me while he speaks,
"Because, quite simply, I helped Charles build the original Cerebro."
Now that IS interesting...Something beeps.
"Yes! Now, Epoch, welcome to Cerebro II."

I shift a little in place, trying to decide if he had enough power to hold me here with the small cuffs on my wrists...knowing him...absolutely.
"Look, you have what you wanted, now cut this crap out and let me go."

His face turns slowly towards mine, a slight grin on his mouth.
"A mutant with such a powerful gift as yourself, Epoch, should not waste your talents on petty thievery."

I can feel the rage boiling back up again.
"You have no right to tell me how to live my life. And you sure as hell don't have the right to assume that I'll serve you. I don't serve anyone but myself."

My eyes bore into his, but he doesn't move an inch.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

I eye him carefully, backing out of the fake Cerebro without taking my eyes from his deathly still form. I bump into something firm and cold outside of the main door.
Whipping around, I half smile...It's the metal guy from earlier. Back to get revenge for the way I treated him, I bet.
"Right...you won't...but he will."

The cuffs around my wrists meet at the base, slowly wrapping themselves completely around my hands. The door begins to shut behind me, but not before Magneto says,
"Take her to her room."

I struggle with the welded metal, but give up rather quickly. Better not waste all my energy now. There's gotta be a way out of here, and I'm gonna find it.

[Pyro]

OOC: Umm... I don't want my baby to die, so who is still interested in this RPG? I am and will post soon. But we need more participation!

[Animation Otaku]

OOC: I am too, but it just seems like other people aren't. :(

[The Detective]

[Shameless plug] Over at Hero RPGs we have an X-Men Evolution RPG and it has been quite active lately. Every villian except Magneto and Toad are open and there are still a lot of unclaimed X-Men. [/Shameless plug]

[Pyro]

Thinking about it, this is my baby and I'd have to join another MB and there are so many custom characters... I don't know... :shrug:

[Pyro]

OOC: One reason I think this RPG is so dead is because I think everyone except Epoch and Magneto is left in the dark about what is going on. I may be wrong, but I know that I am confused and don't know what to write.http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/10_confused.gif I will try to post something soon. I know I've said that, but I'm really determined to do something in 2 days. And I will, no doubt this time. Now about the rest of you...http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/7_mad.gif :p

[AceOfKnaves]

OOC: Actually, I'm wingin it. I don't really have any idea what's going on. The lack of posts doesn't help that much either. :p

And thanks for the shameless plug, DarkKnight. ;) But I don't think they want to get involved with another RPG no matter how active. Moving all your plots to another RPG is a pain. I had to do it for a few other of the RPGs here at ToonZone. I couldn't stand that my characters were stuck at a dead end, so I created a new site, and now I can play them more actively and actually get people to respond to them.... :p :D


~Selena~

[The Detective]

OOC: I kind of lost track of my evil plan.........oh wait I remember. :evil: I think......ok so I'm not sure what is happening any more. ;) I need to get this thing sorted out some more..........give me a few days.

[Barb Gordon]

OOC: Yes, I'm a bit lost myself...and I'm doing the summary for this too! eep. last I could gather, the fight ended, Cyclops and Epoch are with Magneto right now. Magneto has a copy of Cerebro and.....that's about where my brain fries. Where have I been? Well, summer, work, death in the family and going back to school just kinda sucked the time away from me. But if that's where we are at right now, I'll jump back in again. How many others are still alive around here?

~Barb

[AceOfKnaves]

OOC: I'm always alive it seems. Suppose I can't help being so. ;) I'll be willing to hop right back into the storyline if everyone else is.


~Selena~

[Animation Otaku]

OOC(is anything not these days?):I'm still around as well.

[Barb Gordon]

OOC: Okay so three of us seem to be up and lively. I need to reread through the last page or two because I'm still a bit miffed on exactly what's going on and where Jean would be right now. But if someone else is confident in where we all, please feel free to jump in and help the rest of us out.

~Barb

[Pyro]

OOC: Haven’t I been saying that I’ve been in all along?! :mad: :p Actually, I would have been here sooner, but for some reason, I didn’t receive e-mails telling me this thread had replies. :(

IC: Pyro
Monday, January 27th 11:40 AM (I can't believe we're still on the same date as when we started only 5 hours later, and that the RPG is that old)

It's been a long day. We've finally gotten Epoch to Magneto and he's in the base talking with her. I guess I've got some free time. That's rare. I head to my quarters to put on some civvies. I grab my snowboard and head outside of our Mt. Arrowrose base. I use my special remote that Magneto gave each of us to exit the solid dome, since we don't have the powers to pass through ourselves.

The dome spirals into a circular opening, letting in a blast of cold fresh air. Since it's January, the cold is nice and natural, not like that pretend sense of cold fake snow gives you. It's ironic, but I love the white stuff. I head to the ski resort area of the mountain, and try to make my way in unnoticed. I arrive and clip my fake ski ID to my jacket. Looking around, I think I'll go up to a middle level slope for a relaxing ride instead of my usual one, the double black diamond.

After I've got my board on, I take a ski lift up. Looking down on the ground, I take out my lighter and play with it a little. It's a little habit of mine. I think about the new recruit Magneto got this morning. Cyclops I think his name was. What exactly is up with that? I always thought he was one of the most devoted to the X-Men. I wonder if he can actually be one of us. Oh well, Magneto knows what he's doing.

I look back to my lighter. It seems I've made fairly large fire bird that I was unaware of. I look around to see if anyone noticed. I see a girl behind me with a funny slack look on her face. I smile and pretend I saw nothing out of the ordinary. ^_^

At the top the hill I take a deep breath, and with a powerful swoosh I'm off. I'm skiing down the hill curving left and right, wind whipping behind me. As I approach the bottom of the hill, I see a familiar face.

"Gambit. What's up?"

To be continued.

OOC: Actually, I could finish it now since there is more to this and I already know what I want to write, but I am unable to, I will write more later. Too bad this part doesn’t really go anywhere. :shrug: I hope this brings this thread back to life!
LOL We have so many colors! Lemon Chiffon?!? :p

[Barb Gordon]

OOC: Okay, let's see if I can slip back into this without tripping all over myself.

IC: Jean Grey

Exhaling slowly I remove the cold compress from my forehead. Stars do I have one heck of a massive headache. Can't blame it for coming on though, what with all the hell that's been wreaked this morning alone. I wonder for a moment if maybe Epoch played around with time too much, I mean, how can this day be going so slowly? The rest of the X-Men are all taking a breather as well. It's hard to get my head around the current situation, the state that the Mansion is in right now and...Scott. It makes me want to cry and be sick all at once. Oh god Scott, what happened, where are you, what did Magneto do to you? I thought about probing for him with my mind, but I'm afraid. What if I do and it's not the same Scott anymore? I'm scared to death of what Magneto has done, but I've got to reverse it, we have to get Scott back. I had realized earlier, during the fighting, that with Scott missing, I was now leader. For the moment that suites me fine, but I wish Scott was back. Despite the insecurities he has about being in charge of us, there's no one better suited. He knows it all, he doesn't get angry too quickly, he thinks things through, he's humble, responsible, and everyone respects him and would do anything for him. Granted, I know everyone respects me as well, but it's not the same as with Scott, and I don't want to lead permanently. I am so tired of this day. Tossing the wet cloth into my sink and stroll out of my room, wanting to pause for a moment at Scott's...wishing he was in there....if I knocked would he answer? I force myself to keep moving down the hallway, what else lies before me on this day?

[The Detective]

OOC: Lesse if I can get some things happening here. Man I need my new lackey back. :evil:



IC: Magneto

11:52 AM

The exposed circuity that lines the interior of the Cerebro Dome hums and dazzles with light as is throbs, fully installing the newly recieved files. This is my private citadel. A dome within the outer dome. No one but myself Epoch, and Collussus briefly have been within it.

Relishing in my power I surge my hands upwards, magnetic energy pulses outward from my body. A mere touch of my fignertip would erase most computer systems. Not mine. But RUNS on magnetic energy.

I hover up wards, outspreading my palm and creating a large holographic image of the earth. The files of Cerebro now fully installed, pour out their data.

Within seconds red dots almost cover the image. Dear Charles, you always were such a poor strategist. A literal army at your fingertips and what have you done but hidden yourself away in that mansion of yours waiting for a storm to blow over that never will.

It is time. For too long humanity has remained the dominant species, almost completely unchallenged. Today, the threads shall be laid that will eventually destroy that dominion.

My capes flaps slowly as I lower back onto the walkway. Behind me I hear the door whish open. I feel a metallic presence. "Collussus."

"She is secured as you requested."

"Excellent. You may leave."

[SuperBoy]

Colossus then turn around and walked away.


OOC: The only thing i can say is i'm so so so sorry for how short this is and was. I just wanted you guys to know i'm back. But i wish i could of wrote alot more then one sentence. Next time i well make it alot more then this. It might just be two setences.Just kidding it'll be more a lot more hopfuly.

[redDragon]

RPG closed due to restarting.
