X-Men: Darkest Days

[ZTG]

IC: Zac"Thanks Beast," Zac said as he turned away, but quicky stopped, "Oh yea, I don't know why I haven't asked you this yet, but do you know of someone named Zaccheaus Todd?"

[Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo]

OOC: I see nothing technically wrong with his powers, but I think his weakness is a bit insufficient (maybe something more physical? Speech isn't exactly necessary in a fight). Also, we have a character codenamed Feral already, so Primal might not be the best choice.

 

IC: Zack

 

"Oh, thank god."

Beast winced a little at the voice that reminded him so much of its owner's father. Zack Summers, sunglasses and all, strode up to the furry man, a look of worry on his face.

"Evidently, someone decided it would be a good idea to set fire to a good portion of Las Vegas," he announced, "they also thought it would be a good idea to ask for the X-Men personally."

okay really does anybody else see this

[Snelly]

OOC: You can't name a character Calvin Nathan Hobbes, let's not do that please. Give him a different name.

 

IC: Jeffery Pryde - Food Court, Las Vegas -

 

"Thanks." 'Jess' said between mouthfuls as Lucas placed the lemonade on the table. She noticed how the other's were scoffing down their food just like animals. As she finished the last of her wrap she smirked. "Well we certainly all lack table manners for ladies don't we?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. To arm dealers at least." Saphine nodded to herself. She'd chosen well, Devlen had a pragmatic nature that would serve him well, he had a cause he was dedicated too....and she would soon see if he had a deadly enough force to carry it out. Perhaps the world had found yet another Genghis Khan.

 

EDIT: OOC: That comic was awesome.

OOC: I have no problem with the codename Primal, but I do have a problem with the name Calvin Hobbes. Really Constructman?! Come on… seriously?

 

IC: Beast (Outside X-Manor)

 

“I can’t say I do,” Beast said. Zac couldn’t be sure if he was telling the truth or lying. He turned to Zack as he approached. He looked eerily like his father wearing the sunglasses.

 

“What?!” Hank said taken aback by Zack’s news. “Show me.” He said, ready to follow his X-Man.

"I detest such an accusation." Lucas put down his hamburger. "I'm eating neatly. Eating a lot, true, but I'd hardly say it's totally uncivilized."

 

[Prince of Ravens/New York City]

 

The nightly winds had come, and a cold had set in over the City That Never Sleeps. The Prince of Ravens crouched on top of a thirty story tall building. His gloves gripped the finished aluminum well, small spikes embedding themselves into it. Down below, he spotted two wealthy looking socialites, obviously fresh out of the bar. Smiling beneath his mask, he opened himself up to the birds of the city. He could only sense a small part of the greater urban expanse, but it was plenty. Thousands of birds awoke in his mind, but he needed only a fraction of that. Seven hundred took to the skies at his command, the raven craws echoing through the streets.

 

The two socialites didn't notice anything odd, the night coming on as it was, until it was too wait. Dozens of birds swooped down, screeching as they attacked. Their claws gripped around the expensive fur coats, and in their panic the two slipped out of them. Pecks searched and poked all over them, pulling out wallets, jewels, anything of value that could be taken. Soon the crows vanished, the socialites running off into the night while the birds returned to their master with their loot.

 

It would be a good night.

[Snelly]

IC: Howard - Helicarrier -

 

"I realize that Mr. stark," Zanebono said, "And as far as we know, it has control of the weapons of this Helicarrier," Zanebono said.

 

Howard glanced at Zanebono. "Yeah I'm pretty sure it's obvious that the virus has control of everything...whoever you are..." I'd love to see someone who knows what they are talking about for a change.

 

"Anything I can do?" Noel asked Howard curiously.

 

How about stand there and just look beautiful? "Well I'm gonna need your help to coordinate this with all these agents, they'll listen to you." He said with a smile.

IC: Zanebono Zanebono was already getting furious, but his anger quickly subsided as he took a deep breath, "I am Agwnt Hephaestus, and yes I know it has taken control of probably Everything right now, I was stating the information we know that has happened," "I just need you to help us find a way to stop the virus, considering you are the son of Tony Stark," he said,

[Eevee]

IC: LibertyNoel smiled back at Howard, her cheeks reddening as she smiled back at him. "Tell me what to say and I'll get them to do it."Noel glared at the agent, stepping closer to Howard and getting a little defensive of Howard. "No need to talk in that tone agent."

IC: Zack, Demon

 

Zack and Beast hurried into the X-Manor's lobby, where the news broadcast still played. The fiery message was still easily visible; the flames weren't letting up any time soon.

"We are still broadcasting live from the attack in Vegas," a reporter said, "hold on...it looks like something's happening inside the casino!"

 

---

 

"Y'know," Demon said, his voice easily audible over the flames, "I don't really appreciate it when someone interrupts my game of Blackjack."

Before the guards watching the hostages could whirl around, an arc of lightning had already crossed the distance between the mutant and the injured cops. Rather than electrifying them, however, the blast rippled and cascaded across their skin, reaching deep into their DNA...One of the cops suddenly erupted into fits of writhing and kicking, and his body began to change. Everything about him turned crimson: hair, eyes, even his nails. He lunged at the guard nearest him, trying to sink his fanglike teeth into the soldier's flesh. The other gave a shout and backed away as he was surrounded by a swarm of spiders that had once inhabited the walls of the casino. He looked up, and then they were crawling over the remaining guards, biting and scratching and making their way into any orifice they could find.

OOC: Wait I thought he like killed every other human in the area when he turned one into mutants.

 

IC: Beast (X-Manor)

 

Hank read the captions on the screen. The estimated death toll was near 300. “My god…” he said. “We have to stop them.” He said as he examined the burning message left for the X-Men.

[Snelly]

IC: Ashley - Starbucks, San Francisco -

 

"Hi Matt..." She said with a quick smile, though she seemed a bit nervous. When Dallas had decided to leave for California, it had been a rather last minute decision to go with him, she'd been surprised that he agreed to let her come, maybe he was just thrilled that a girl simply asked if she could come along instead of chasing him down the highway and leaping out of their car and into his. That mightttt have been it, who knew really? So she'd left with Dallas without being able to tell Matt, and sorta put off calling him.

 

She stroked Morrison's fur absentmindedly as she looked at Matt. She was technically his girlfriend, but they honestly hadn't done much together since it became official, and she wasn't sure if it was working out all things considered.

 

She just wasn't sure how to say it though, she'd never had to break up with anyone before cause well, she'd never been with anyone before. Matt was a nice guy and all but...it just didn't seem to...feel right.

 

Ashley looked down at Morrison, petting him a little faster, her eyes felt slightly moist, she was dreading what she was gonna have to say, she didn't want to hurt him.

 

But she didn't know how to begin either.

 

​IC: Howard - Helicarrier -

 

"You know something Agent Hephalump, demanding that I help you is not the best way to ask." Howard said with a smile. "No, I'm not going to help you stop the virus. You're gonna help me kill the virus."

 

"Though speaking of the weapon systems, let's try to chase the virus out of there first, we're going to disconnect the weapon systems, manually if we have to. More than likely it will escape the weapon systems and move to another before we fully disconnect it, so we'll simply keep shutting down systems until we corner it."

[Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo]

OOC: Let's just say the cops had latent X-Genes or something. Besides, even if they weren't mutants, it would only weaken the others, not kill them.

 

IC: Zack

 

"Hang on a sec..."

Zack concentrated hard, activating his weak telepathy.

Ash, he thought to his sister, someone's trying to burn down Vegas. We need to gather the X-Men.

When he was finished, he took a breath and spoke to Beast.

"It could be a trap," he said, "what do you think we should do?"

[ZTG]

IC: Zanbono"Hephaestus, and its not just a virus, its an AI, no Virus can be that sentient," Zanebono said, "Alright then, "Aeter, follow me, me and Agent Aether will go do that,"

IC: LibertyNoel wasn't sure what to do, so she awkwardly stood next to Howard and watched as everyone bustled along to do things. "I wish I was more help." She thought to herself, feeling out of place.

[sunflower]

IC: Jesika

 

A small sound came from beneath Nathan's jet-black wing that was stretched across a portion of the couch. Jesika had been unusually quiet lately, and hadn't said a word for over fifteen minutes. Quite possibly a new record for her, given the fact that before she seemed unable to go for two minutes without opening her mouth. Actually, she hadn't moved in that time either. Well, if Nathan bothered to look, he would probably find Jesika curled up on the couch, cuddling against him with his wing working as a sort of feathery blanket for her. She was, quite obviously at this point, asleep.

 

She had probably worn herself out, or had stayed up all night waiting for her presents. Probably both. Regardless, Jesika was out like a light.

[Snelly]

IC: Shiloh - Genosha -

 

Shiloh moaned in pain as the healer forced the bullet out with her healing powers, as soon as the bullet was removed the wound healed over. Her pained expression softened, though she was still unconscious.

 

Her wounds were healed and she was no longer in critical condition, but she probably needed a good amount of rest from all the trauma to her body. After a few minutes she opened her eyes, she groaned in pain, the wound may have been healed but the pain was still somewhat lingering. The first thing she saw was Abraham and she nearly freaked, or would have if she had the energy to.

 

"What.....what happened? Where the heck am I? Where's Rene?" She found herself wanting her brother. Brother where are ya?

 

IC: Nathan - Institute, Westchester -

 

Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Jesika looked pretty adorable, curled up and cuddling next to me, using my wing as a blanket. It was quite obvious I wasn't going anywhere for the night, I didn't want to risk waking her.

 

I was pretty tired myself anyway, I sorta had nearly killed myself in the danger room earlier, plus being dragged around all over the mansion by a little girl with super strength was more taxing then it looked.

 

I found myself slowly dozing off as I lay there on the couch with Jesika.

[Advent Child]

OOC: I (definitely in the minority) actually enjoyed and was amused by the Calvin and Hobbes reference. But regardless of name, I see no reason why Primal/The Bear shouldn't be approved. So there's at least one approval from me.

IC: Rebekah

 

Ironically, by choosing not to answer, Brooklyn answered her question more effectively than a verbal answer ever could have. She'd seen something disturbing, something she didn't want to discuss just yet. A few possibilities leapt to mind.

 

"I think I can understand that." Rebekah replied quietly, an edge of worry coloring her voice.

"Errr..." I replied, taken somewhat off guard by the question. "Yeah, f'sho. Here, put these on..."

 

I slid my Beats onto Nicole's ears and whipped out my laptop again with a sidelong glance at Ashley and Morrison; popping it open again, I navigated through GarageBand and pulled up the Yeezy beat I had just finished mixing and polishing and pressed play.

 

"It's not exactly Skrillex, y'know, it's not dubstep or anything, but...it's fun."

IC: Harbinger (Las Vegas)

 

I turned to see the mutant who had come out of the flames. There was no way he’d been inside the casino before, he would have been dead. He was bluffing. What was he even doing here? I grimaced and nodded to the few men who weren’t covered with spiders who pointed their weapons at the now red mutated cop and fired at him.

 

“You know mutating cops really isn’t helping the situation.” I grinned as I held the barrel of my gun to the temple of the remaining cop. I then pulled out my knife and put it to my neck before aiming my pistol at the cop who seemed to be controlling the spiders and fired twice.

 

“Why don’t you help us instead of hinder us?” he said to the mutant. “You can play another game of Blackjack when this is all over.” I said as my glasses reflected the flames. Suddenly about four armored vans pulled up. These weren’t SWAT vans. The doors to the vans sprung open as more black garbed assassins poured out and began firing into the crowd of cops. I aimed my desert eagle at the red mutated cop and fired twice at his skull.

 

IC: Beast (X-Manor)

 

“Even if it is a trap we can’t let more people die.” Hank said. “Wait here I’ll contact you all soon.” Beast said. He then scurried off towards the elevator. Once Beast was downstairs he hurried into the War-Room. It had been a long time since he had entered the room due to a mission. He approached his master-computer before hitting a few key-strokes.

 

Hank activated all of his current X-Men’s X-Beacon. The X-Beacon’s were small red discs with a single X in it, they were portable and when Beast activated they flashed red rapidly and made a beeping sound. His X-Men should know to report to the War-Room when this happens.

 

IC: Triblade (Starbucks, San Fran)

 

“Hey,” Matt smiled. He noticed that Ashley looked nervous and she suddenly looked down. “What’s wrong?” he asked her. Suddenly he heard the TV in the Starbucks being turned up and a lot of the coffee goers quieted down as they listened.

 

“A recent update on the carnage in Las Vegas, the authorities seem to now be under fire from assailants from black vans. There is still no sign of the X-Men, America must know; will they show up? Or will more innocent people die?”

 

Matt got to his feet, “****!” he said his hand turning into a fist as he watched the live coverage and saw the taunt. “I should be there! There’s no way I can make it back in time!”

 

Matt looked down as something flashed red in his pocket. He pulled out the tiny disc and watched it flash for a moment. “**** it…”

 

IC: Summer-flight (X-Manor, Basement Level)

 

Ash received Zack’s telepathic message. She was shocked. She quickly entered her brother’s mind for a moment, watching the News broadcast through his eyes until she was caught up. She heard a beeping noise and looked down to see the new X-Beacon Hank had given them all a few days ago activated. She looked up at Ric.

 

“Let’s go.” She said before sprinting towards the War-Room.

 

IC: Nicole (Starbucks, San Fran)

 

She smiled as the beat began to play. It seemed well polished and professionally done. She nodded her head as she enjoyed the beat, oblivious to Matt’s turmoil since she couldn’t hear him over the music.

 

IC: Mimic (X-Manor)

 

“Yeah he’s much better,” she smiled as she snuggled against Aleks as they watched the show. When her beacon activated Mimic sighed and sat up. “Are yah coming sugar?” she said looking at Aleks.

 

IC: Darkfang (X-Manor)

 

When his beacon activated Jeremy vanished with a light BAMF. He appeared a moment later inside the War-Room, being the first one there other then Beast. “Alright my first mission as an X-Man.”

 

IC: Feral (Woods, Westchester)

 

When Liliana froze like the ice she controlled John was silent too. Suddenly something began to beep and glow red in his pocket. He pulled out the small disc Beast had briefed him on a few days ago. He turned to Liliana. “I have to go,” he said. “You can work on bringing Liam back or you can come too.” He said. “I’m sorry.” He said before he turned and sprinted away. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to deal with Liam; he was an X-Man. He was one of the captains. His teammates might die without him.

IC: Jesika

 

Come morning, Nathan might be surprized to find that Jesika was no longer curled up underneath his wing, using the rest of him as a pilllow. As a matter of fact, the hyperactive girl was nowhere to be seen within the room itself. Well, the mystery was solved fairly soon, as Jesika, seeming to appear out of nowhere, tackle hugged the winged aerokinetic while he was still on the couch.

 

"Nathan!" She said, her large, electric-blue eyes hovering inches away from his face as she tried to shake him awake.

IC: Jeffery Pryde - Food Court, Las Vegas -

 

'Jess' had a somewhat mischievous look on her face, which was apparent to Lucas and Gabriel if they looked at her. "Well Lucy I guess you're civilized enough. As for the rest of us...nah."

 

The tv that was mounted on the wall of the food court was indeed broadcasting the current crisis that was happening in Las Vegas itself, though 'Jess' hardly noticed it.

 

​IC: Howard - Helicarrier -

 

"Technically speaking it's a sentient AI virus." He called out to Hephaestus as the agent went off to start disconnecting systems.

 

Howard put a hand on Noel's shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile. "You're plenty help, in fact we're all gonna have to start pulling the hard wire out, and the only way to do that is with bare hands."

 

"You're planning to isolate the virus?" Knower asked Mr. Stark. "What's your plan? How are we going to get whatever this thing is into one location? Just pull the plugs on everything one at a time?"

 

"Yes, it's gonna be painstaking and time consuming, but it's the only solution we have right now. We've already tried destroying it software wise, but as we've found out that's a dead end, so hardware is the only way to go. The virus will want to self-preserve itself, even if it ends up trapped in a rather harmless system, like the lightning."

 

IC: Ashley - Starbucks, San Francisco -

 

Ashley was about to open her mouth when the TV was turned up and Ashley and everyone else's attention save Nicole's was diverted.

 

No...not...not this gain. She looked away from the TV, her emotions running high, it just reminded her of what had happened in D.C., and consequently Weapon X. The memories of what Novocain had done to her still haunted her, along with everything Weapon X had forced her to do, like the mission to the Hydra base. She was lucky she hadn't been forced to kill anyone, she couldn't kill, it was against her nature.

 

It looked like the X-men were needed in Las Vegas now. Well, all Ashley knew was, she wasn't going. "Matt...I'm....I'm not coming back to the X-men, I just can't do it anymore....you know?" she said slowly, her eyes moist.

 

"I'm not a fighter, I can't handle that kind of violence...I know that now. Destroying Sentinels in D.C. was one thing, but after Weapon X I just...can't." A few tears ran down her cheek. "I don't want to be reminded of what I saw, what I went through, and that..." She pointed at the tv, "....that kind of thing isn't something I can't handle, I'd just become a liability, and I don't want to do it either."

 

Ashley couldn't help but feel somewhat selfish, but it was how she really felt. She didn't cope with violence and death very well, and that was exactly what she'd continue to see if she stayed with the X-men.

 

IC: Nathan - Institute, Westchester -

 

I stirred a bit, opening my eyes groggily, how long had I been out? I wasn't sure but it was most likely morning. I looked over to my right and noticed that Jesika wasn't there. Now where had she-

 

Gah! I let out a yelp of surprise as Jesika tackled me with a hug as I lay across the couch. It was a good thing she wasn't that heavy. I laughed in surprise. "I'm awake, I'm awake!"

[AuRon the champion]

IC:

 

Not my fault that I'm a fourteen-year-old boy who got recruited for a top-secret SHIELD team that has me working on top-secret stuff half the time, and the other half doing schoolwork.

 

"All I need is some light," Aether said, still speaking quietly. "Then I'll be able to construct anything you'll need."

 

Quick. Figure out which one controls the cell-block power.

 

Will resisted the urge to sigh, Alright, alright. I'll just disconnect everything then.

 

Good boy. We'll make sure to come back for you.

 

You better keep that promise.

 

Don't worry. Because of the knowledge you've given us, we'll be able to do great things.

 

Warren listened to the various things people were saying. It didn't concern him. However, he wasn't keen on listening. 300 humans. Sparks of light and energy. Gone. Sentient beings who had wants, needs, emotions. He knew that most of them probably hated mutants like him, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for them. To be doomed to nothing was a fate everything shared, but nothing he wanted to send any living being to.

It reminded him of the time he caught his sister trapping small frogs. Yes. Frogs. She wanted to keep them as pets, but he knew that something bigger, scarier, and with the ability to step on them without a second though had caught them. He knew they were scared. He hated seeing people and animals scared, or sad, or anything like that. So when his sister wasn't looking, he took the frogs, and took them back to their pond. When his sister found out, she called him thinks like "jerk", or "the worst big brother of all time". He didn't care. He was he was glad to know that they were free. That they had their wants and needs. His mother called it "empathy". He was pretty sure it wasn't a power of his, seeing as how he just was able to do that anyway. By looking at someone. And before the rest of the X-Men headed off to wherever, he knew that he didn't exactly fit with them.

 

I'm a stranger, he decided, A stranger in a strange land.

 

Then suddenly, over a bit on the other couch, was another guy being tackled by a little girl.

 

"Hiya," He said, striding over.

 

Someone did show up to Rapture's cell, but it wasn't a medic.

 

"You can leave, I think I'll be able to deal with her," Came the voice from outside the cell. The guard nodded and stepped out. Stepping in was a SHIELD agent that Rapture had seen before. Sometimes standing behind Nick Fury, sometimes taking his place.

 

"Miss Hill," Rapture said, "It's a pleasure to see you in the flesh."

 

"You can quit pretending. We've been watching everything," Maria Hill said in response, "Fooling a guard is easy, but we've been watching you before the virus was discovered. How did you get it into the ship?"

 

Virus?

 

"What virus?" Rapture asked, confused, "If you paid attention to your security cameras, you should know I just went to the medical ward, off the ship, then back on."

 

"I'm not convinced."

 

"Well of course you aren't. I'm supposed to be the bad guy, right?"

 

Hill frowned. This mutant wasn't visibly lying, but she did just attempt to escape just a bit ago, and she was able to get aboard the Helicarrier. And do something to a SHIELD agent as well.

 

"If you didn't come onto the Helicarrier to plant the virus, then why try to get on here in the first place?" Hill asked, "Knowing the Pantheon team exists is that much of a burning question to you?"

 

"... No."

 

"Then why?"

 

Rapture frowned, she held the upper hand, but if she didn't play her cards right... She might be spending a long time in here. She couldn't count on Aether to spring her, she didn't know whether he'd follow instructions or not.

 

"I needed to know more about SHIELD. Not public information."

 

"What did you need to know?"

 

"How much SHIELD monitors governments."

 

"Why?"

 

"Because I want to save the world."

 

Maria Hill, one of SHIELD's top agents simply laughed.

 

"Save the world? Save the world from what? You?"

 

Rapture shook her head, "I want to prevent World War Three."

 

This caught the SHIELD Agent's attention, "World War Three?"

 

"Yup. If you would imagine with me, a world with two races in it. One controls the world. The other... They feed of the "better race's" tablescraps. The lesser race is physically stronger... but because they are, they're mistreated. Abused. Legally, they can't be citizens. In most places, they can't participate in government, they have to be chipped, and monitored. In other places they can't marry, or have children. Almost everywhere, they could be killed on sight. The better race, whenever they see a member of the lesser race, they mock them. They threaten to kill them. In some places, just the sight of a member of the lesser race walking on the street is enough to start a riot."

 

"You mean mutants."

 

"Not really. I could've been talking about the deep southern states of America, or maybe Nazi Germany, or Stalinist Russia. I could've also meant the situation today. It's just about the same."

 

"What's the point?"

 

"What happens when they get tired of being surpressed?" Rapture asked, "What happens when they're fed up with trying to hide, or trying to live among normal people? What happens when the lesser race wants freedom? In America, you got the civil rights movement. Because it's America. 'Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' Does that sound familair? Because if you've been paying attention, it's been more like Nazi Germany, or Stalinist Russia for mutants. They can't even talk about getting more rights before the enforcers or someone tries to kill them for mentioning it. It might be really soon, or sometime later, but at some point, the Mutants are going to rise up. And when they do, they'll fight tooth and nail for a home. Someplace where they can live without having to have their rights taken away."

 

"That'll never happen though. Mutants can't fight all of humanity for that."

 

"I'm not so sure, Quicksiler has been doing a good job of that, hasn't he? No. The only way to avoid this is to fix everything. Get humans, or even better, mutants in power that can shake things up. Get people in the UN to try and make another Mutant homeland. That almost worked the last time, but the Omega Sentinels..."

 

At this point, Rapture was glaring at the SHIELD agent, "The supposed 'tools of peace'. All it took was for one person to get in control of them, and no more of that. Humans have done an awful job at trying to 'keep the peace'. The only way for anything to work would be to get the Mutants in their own country. Let us fight it all out, then work on trying to integrate the races. Something that I know you, and the Enforcers would be opposed to. So yes, I was here for something, I was here to help try to save the world. Sue me."

 

The SHIELD agent frowned, "Anything else you'd like to say?"

 

"Oh yeah. The Hellfire Club is still around. And if you grant me immunity, I'll tell you every one of their dirty little secrets..."

"Yay you're up!" she said happily. Jesika was practically jumping around, and it was amazing that she didn't explode. Seriously, she seemed to have an unlimited supply of energy.

IC HeiKristy moved in front of the tv, watching the disaster unfold. "Why do people keep using the USA as a place to settle their big fights?" she asked. "People should go bug Captain Britain for a change. Why haven't we heard from him?" Inside, she felt shocked that these things happened. Why couldn't humans and mutants just make up? Why was it that when it came to rcism, history always repeated itself?

Matt slowly turned to Ashley and he nodded. He understood. He hadn’t been one of the X-Men kidnapped by Weapon-X, but he’d heard what they’d done to them, what they’d done to Ashley.

 

“No one’s going to force you to come back Ashley, it’s your choice.” He said. For Matt there was no choice. He had to stop the violence, any way he could; except he was in San Francisco and not Las Vegas.

 

“Any ideas on how I can get there quick enough to help out?” he knew that Ashley was probably staying in San Fran and for good. This saddened Matt but he couldn’t think about it right now. He had more pressing matters.

[Eevee]

IC: LibertyNoel smiled as Howard touched her arm, the small contact sending a shiver through her body. "I can most definitely rip wires out. Tell me where and I'll do my stuff." She said with a wink.

IC: Jared grimaced as his beacon activated. Big surprise. The lumokinetic suited up and walked down to the war room. His suit was rather simple, just some green jeans and a t shirt with holes cut in the back for his wings, the x symbol on his right chest.IC: Robin wasn't disturbed by the broadcast, and unlike Nicole he actually saw it. Instead he just sighed. 122 years of life tends to put things in perspective. "Know any teleporters? Otherwise I can break a few speed laws."

IC [Prince of Ravens/New York City]

 

It would be several more fly by robberies before the Prince of Ravens moved on through the city. Using his powers he rode on the currents high above the city, looking below to see what he could find. NYC always was full of activity, especially super activity, and tonight he was exceptionally bored. It took him some time but he finally found something of interest; a man, wearing what seemed to be... Greek armor? No, a composite of Greek and Roman designs. Fascinating. He was fighting a man in a dark black suit, similar to what Peter had seen on TV fighting Spider-man, ages ago...

 

The Prince of Ravens scowled, landing on top of a skyscraper and crouching on it. He felt the birds in his mind, and they came to his call. Hundreds took to the air, flocking to him on the building. He took out a roll of paracord and a knife, cutting off a ten foot section and fastening it to one of his throwing knives. He tucked that contraption away, looking down at the fight while his birds rested. It'd been a while since he fought a super, though this didn't seem to be a super at all. If he was fighting this black suited man... perhaps one of those infamous Enforcers?

 

The armor would present a challenge, but he could outsmart him. Besides, he himself didn't have to do much of anything. Not yet.

 

Reclining back on the roof, he willed his birds out, a swarm three hundred strong with hundreds more in reserve swooping down to scout the situation.

IC: "Shiloh? You okay?" Nate's voice was full of concern.IC: Natalie crossed her arms. "What I'd like to know is how exactly we're doing that."

(Blake)

 

With his beacon activating, Blake made his way down to the War-Room. With his mask and hoodie on, Blake was ready for battle. Blake walked into the room, waiting for the others to come.

 

(Scott)

 

His beacon warning flashing in his HUD, Scott made his way down to the War-Room. He had his katana strapped to his back. He expected a fight, and, not for the first time, wished he had something ranged. Too late now,he thought. Scott was at the War-Room, ready to go.

IC:

 

The war room. Not exactly Chris' favorite place to be, but oh well. He was there. He had to run back to his room to change into his new X-Suit. It was mostly black, with blue highlights similar to his mask. on the left side of his chest was a circle, a yellow one with a cross through it to make an "X". As he slipped his mask on before he entered the War Room, he prepared himself for another mission. More Giant robots would probably stomp around, and he'd probably would be used as bait. Again.

 

Christopher was also in the War Room, hanging in the back, watching the proceedings quietly. He still wasn't sure if he was part of the X-Men of this universe, but until he was told he wasn't, he would act as if he was a member.

 

"Director Fury?" Came Maria Hill's voice through the intercoms, "The prisoner wants immunity in exchange for giving us information about the Hellfire Club."

 

The SHIELD Agent stood in the hallway outside of Rapture's cell. The Guard had returned inside, somewhat embarrassed that he'd almost been fooled by the Mutant.
