RPG X Men: The Beginning

[Yoda]

[I]Somewhere on a mountain range in the North of Alaska, a team of scientists work in a hidden laboratory. Their task, to create the ultimate biological weapons. Their specimens, two boys with almost identical mutant powers.[/I]

Inside the laboratory, as the experiment continues, one scientist begins to make his daily log into the computer.

[B]Scientist:[/B] 4 years ago, almost to the day, we brought in a specimen, a 12 year old male by the name of Quentin Craig Logan. The boy had a very developed mutant gene, which infected his skin. As such, he is able to recover almost any injury in a fraction of the time it would take an average homosapien. This was all we knew when he was brought in, but we have examined his tissue and discovered many things. Firstly, he has a very unique type of white blood cell, any injury he is infected with, his white blood cells instantly start to create an antibody for the disease. Because of this, any sedation we gave him, he instantly started to build up a resistance. It is truly amazing, at this very moment, he had enough tranquiliser in him to kill an elephant, and yet it barely puts him to sleep. What's more, he displays an excellent sense of sight, hearing and smell... much more acute than the average human. Also, one very interesting discovery we made, is that as he had gotten older, his skin has started to evolve and age more slowly. We estimate that by the time he is between 24 and 28 years of age, but tissue will have evolved to the state where it doesn't age at all. This means, that unless killed, he will live forever. We have labelled him "Weapon X: Wolverine."
One year ago, we brought in another specimen, with powers very similar to Quentin's. We found soon after that they have the same date of birth. However, because this one had been allowed to evolve for 3 years longer than Quentin, with him being under our custody, he was more developed. He was animal-like, he has thick fur on some parts of his body, and long, sharp claws on all digits. We estimate that is Quentin had not entered our custody, he would be in a similar state. We named the second specimen "Weapon X: Sabretooth."
3 days previously, we began the test on the subject Wolverine to replace the normal enamel of his bones with Adamantium. Also, we have sergically implanted a set of adamantium claws into each hand, which he will be able to extract and contract at will. If the subject survives, we will attempt the same process on the more evolved specimen Sabretooth. We are very excited about the results.

As the scientist finished his log, a technician ran into the room, clearly alarmed. He carried with him a wooden pad, which he held very chakily in one arm.

[B]Technician:[/B] Sir, you'd better take a look at this.

[B]Scientists:[/B] What? Is there a problem with the experiment?

[B]Technician:[/B] Please sir, come quickly, I'll explain on the way.

The scientist rose and walked off quickly after the technician. Several thoughts rushed through the scientists mind... [I]Could project Wolverine have failed? Had Sabretooth escaped? Or possibly the operation was succesful...[/I]

The technician pushed open the door into the laboratory. In the centre of the room was a cylindrical flask, inside which was a green bubbling liquid, and a boy. The boy was dormant, and very big, perhaps 6'3" in height, and had a natural ruggidity to him. He had a muscular appearence, and wore only a loose fitting pair of white trousers. Several large pipes and wires were connected to the flask, which lead either into the ground, or into the large computer next to the flask.

[B]Technician:[/B] Sir, Quentin's vital signs are through the roof... he's waking up!

[B]Scientist:[/B] What!? Impossible... the sedation shouldn't...

The looked in awe and fear as the boy, as his eyelide snapped open, revealing two large hazel eyes. The green liquid drained from the flask, and the boy hit the floor, falling to his knees. He was very disorientated, he had not used his legs in over a year. Pain and aching surged through his body, his very bones felt as if they were on fire. He ripped the breathing aparatus from over his face, and a sudden, ferocious itching started at his knuckles. He reached with one hand to scratch the other, but as he did, three metal claws shot out of the gaps between his knuckes, causing him to wail in agony. Soon after, an identical set of claws shot out of the other hand. Another wail of agony, the boy shot one hand out in a punch, and the claws broke straight through the glass.

[B]Scientist:[/B] Get secirity down here... he must not be allowed to escape that chamber!

It was already too late. The boy, who had noticed the affect his claws had on the glass, started thrashing the flask, and yelling in a very demonic way. Within seconds, the secure flask was in glassy shreads, and the boy leapt out, landing clamly on his feet. He was bent double, one palm pressed against the ground, the other up by his face. He noticed the scientists, the cowered, and started to back away. He thought of resisting, but the instinct in him was overwhelming, his claws wished for blood. He leapt forward , and hit the technician in the gut with one knee. As the technician fell, winded, the boy slashed across the technician's neck, cutting through his jugular vein. In an instant, the boy leapt again, claws beared, fists balled, towards the scientist. He threw a punch, and his claws dug straight through the scientists face.

As another corpse fell, the boy started to hyper-ventilate. He began to remember things, who he was, and where he had come from, but the pain inside his head was all but devastating. He fell to his knees once more, clutching his forehead, screaming in agony. The other specimen, the one known as Sabretooth, was know banging on his cage, trying to get the boy's attention.

[B]Sabretooth:[/B] Hey buddy, what's wrong? Can't take the pain... bwahahahahaha.

The boy looked up through squinted eyes at the beast like man, and was about to attack, but disorientation overcame him once more. He needed to get out... into the open. He saw the computer, the one that had supported his container, and in a blind rage, began slashing it to pieces. However, he was unaware that the computer was triggered to a self destruct device, a fail safe incase his operation went terribly wrong.

[B]Computer:[/B] 5 minutes to detonation. All staff, evacuate immediately.

The boy could barely hear what had been said, his head was pounding so badly. As his eyes began to come back into focus, he scanned the area for an exit. He noticed a window, near the ceiling, and he growled in a low, harsh tone. With his claws still out, he leapt at the wall, and drove his claws into the reinforced concrete. He began to dig his claws into the wall, pulling himself up towards the window, though his body ached with fatigue. He reached the window, and put his fist through it again, using his new claws to open a hole. Pulling himself through, he cut his chest and back on the shards of glass, and in a lapse of pain, he lost balanced and fell from the window.

He hit the snowy floor below, into a roll, and lay there, almost dead. With another growl, he pulled his body up, and began lumbering on in a stagger, heading towards the woods he saw before him. His body ached and surged with tremendous pain. He kept one hand pressed against his cut, bloody chest... seemingly unaware that the wounds had almost closed already.

He went on for what seemed like an eternity, until he was absolutely sure that the laboratory was out of sight. He pressed against a tree, and collapsed onto the floor, sitting against the tree and breathing heavily. He stared ahead with half open eyes, and saw a figure amongst the trees. The boy felt no hostility from this person... infact, he almost felt a blanket of security around this man... but it still made him nervous. Like a cornered animal, the boy pulled himself to one knee, and raised his hands, preparing to defend himself with his claws.

[B]???:[/B] Do not be afraid Quentin... I am here to help you. My name is Charles Xavier, and I feel your pain. Please, be calm, you are safe now.

The boy felt the anger grow in him, he could trust no-one now, everyone would decieve him... they would all lie and cheat, everyone was the same. Quentin lunged forward, preparing to strike, but his body gave up, and he collapsed to the floor, falling forward in an unconcious state.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sil looked down, Quentin had met Charles Xavier...and she knew in her heart, it was what she needed as well. She slowly released her hold on her powers and lightly floated to the ground...

Landing on one foot, she spun and then ran to Quentin's prone form. He was handsome, but in this state, he reminded her of the child.[/i]

Sil: Is he going to die?

Charles: No Sil. He won't.

Sil: ....do you think you could help me like you helped him?

Charles: Of course Sil. You're like Quentin, and that's why I'm here.

[i]With a gentle tug, she pulled Quentin over her shoulder and rose to her feet....She noded and braced herself. He was heavier than she had expected...but based on Mr. Xavier's words, his mutation must have something to do with it. She was prepared for the worst.[/i]

Sil: Can you teach me how to control my powers?

Charles: Yes, with time...and training.[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

Quentin's eyes opened suddenly. He was lying in a bed, in a large white room. There were a few drawers and cupboards about the room, but otherwise it was completely bare. With a groggy sigh, Quentin turned to his side, and saw two figures standing, watching him. One was a girl, and the other was a bald man in a wheelchair. He glanced down at his hands, the metal claws were no longer there.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Ah good Quentin, you'r awake. I am Charles Xavier, and this is Sil.

[B]Quentin:[/B] One thing... before we start doc.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Yes?

[B]Quentin:[/B] Don't call me Quentin... I hate that name. Just call me Craig.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Very well Craig. Do you know why you're here?

[B]Craig:[/B] No... but I suppose your about to tell me.

[B]Xavier:[/B] You are a mutant Craig... you have special powers. I have brought you here, to teach you, and to help you control your power.

[B]Craig:[/B] What... about my parents?

[B]Xavier:[/B] I am afraid... they were killed.

A tear instantly ran down Craig's face. He swallowed hard, and forced himself to continue.

[B]Craig:[/B] How?

[B]Xavier:[/B] You remember Sabretooth?

Craig snarled at that name, he perfectly remembered who Sabretooth was.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Well, shortly before you went into your operation... he was sent out to terminate your parents. Unfortunately he did not fail.

Craig felt very fatigued, but he forced himself to rise. He clenched his fists, he had already made up his mind.

[B]Craig:[/B] Where's the exit doc... I got some business to finish.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Please Craig, do not pursue Sabretooth. He is more used to his powers than you are. Please, let me help you control them.

[B]Craig:[/B] Thanks but no thanks doc... this is personal.

Craig started heading for the door, not caring that he was almost completely naked, apart from a pair of boxer shorts.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Do you remember your claws?

Craig stopped dead, and looked at his knuckles. They no longer itched... but he could feel them, under his skin.

[B]Xavier:[/B] You should have the ability to extend them... why not give it a try?

Craig clenched his fists, and concentrated for a moment, and then his claws broke through the skin again, exactly the same as they were before. It hurt to get them out, as they cut through his skin... but already he felt comfortable with them. Xavier smiled weakly, but Sil was shocked... she hadn't seen the claws when he lay unconcious in the snow.

[B]Xavier:[/B] I have recently opened an academy, for young, developing mutants like yourself and Sil here. At the moment, you two are my only students, but more should be arriving very shortly. I would very much like you to stay Craig.

Craig drew his claws back into his hands, and watched as the skin between his knuckles closed quickly behind them. He took a deep breath, and turned to face the professor.

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay doc... I'll stay, but lets get this straight. I will get Sabretooth one day... and you're not going to stop me.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Very well. You have the freedom to leave at any time, as do any of my students. Would you like something to eat?

Craig suddenly realised that he was very hungry. He grabbed his stomach with one hand, and a sort of pathetically hungry look came over his face, which forced a smile to the faces of Xavier and Sil.

[B]Sil:[/B] Come on... I'll show you to the cafeteria.

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: Ergh... Goddamnit what happened there.

It had happened in a flash, literally. His parents were argueing, his sister had been crying earlier, and he really needed some alcohol. He braved the fight to get to the kitchen, when his father his his mother, and she fell to the floor crying. In desperation, he had yelled for them to stop as loud as he could, and then something happened. It's like a blur now, but he remembers his parents screaming as the red.. beam? Wave?.. Something like that, hit them.. Overtook them.. Washed over them..

All of the above.

He remembered a soothing voice in his head telling him to run, and to take his sunglasses he had received as a gift for his birthday..

Currently driving his Hummer with some soothing Trance music on, Ken was trying to think of what to do. He couldnt run forever.. But he wished he could. He had to find somewhere to go- A sanctuary. If they caught him, he'd get life in prison at the least- But he knew that the death penalty would most likely be passed in Texas.

[b]Ken[/b]: I could go to Mexico? No. Border Patrol. I could go.. Goddamn it.

He silently closed his eyes.. His sunglasses hadnt been removed from his face for 4 days now. Was he afraid? A little bit. He didnt know what he should do.. Confusion was setting in...[/color]

[Hinata]

[COLOR=red] [I] As Raye stood over the young man all she could d is cry. [/I]

Raye: No this can't be...Why is this happening to me. All I did was touch him on the shoulder. [I] She looked dwn to the boy who wasn't moving at all[/I] Not again, this is the second person I touched who has seemed to pass out. It there something wrong with me?

[I]A voice seemed to come from no where. No. [/I]

Raye: Who's there, who are you?

[I]She looked around trying to find who was speaking to her. Right over here the voice said. She turned towards a tree where an older gentlemen in a wheelchair came from behind.[/I]

Raye: Who are you?

Charles: My name is Charles Xavier and I can help you out. That is if you'll let me? There are many other youung people like you who are discovering something about them that they don't quite understand and I am here to help. So if you will, come. You can trust me.

[I] Looking around at the young man laying there, she thought. I must figure this out...and if he's here to help. Then I'll take it.[/I]

Omi sobbed as he ran from the sound of gunfire. The yajuza had attacked the training dojo. His parents had died as his older brother charged the gun-toting goons had cut him down as casually as his parents. Somehow, the bullets had gone through him. HE ran. not daring to look back.

[Schrat]

[color=blue][i]Nick knew his life would never be the same since the day at the park. He hadnt done alot since. Nick hadnt gone to school, nor even out of his house. Except for today. It was the first snowfall of the year, and his mother decided that it would be ok to go out for one day, or at least to have some fun. For hours Nick played, and rolled around in the snow. He had felt free, safe. the safest he had felt for months, ever since it happened.

???: "Hey freak!"

Nick looked up, it was a bunch of kids from his school, all holding snowballs...

Nick: "Cmon guys..."

Kid: "Hey Freak, why havent you been to school, u afraid!"

Nick: "No, my mom wont let me"

Kid2: "Oh, mommy wont let you"

Nick: "No..."

Smack!

Nick fell to the ground, hit by several hard snowballs. Nick got up holding his arm out towards the kids.

Kid: "Whata you gunna do, shoot water at us?"

Nick got extremely mad, his face became very red and Ice begain firing out of his hands towards the boy, knocking him back over twenty feet...

Kid:" Oh my god...GET HIM!!!!!"

The boys began fiercely running at Nick, throwing snowballs. Nick was hit by many, he immediatly fell to the ground, covering his head so he wouldnt get hit by anymore snowballs. But all of a sudden the hits stopped. Nick pulled his hands away from his face and stood up. A man sat in a wheelchair infront of him...

???: " Hello Nicholas. My name is Charles Xavier. I run a school for Homo- Superior, like you and myself..."

Nick: "Your...your a mutant"

Charles: "Yes..."

Nick looks up in the air, as the boys that were charging at him seem to be flying. Charles turns an looks at them, he pushs them back and lowers them to the sky.

Nick, charles, and Nick's mother talked for about two hours. About the school, and mostly about mutants. Nick ran up the stairs of his house and into his room. He packed all his cloths and belongings into a few suitcases and walked back downt the stairs. Nick kissed his mother and hugged her for a few minutes, for he would not see her for a few months, nick was moving to Charles' school for the gifted. nick walked out of his house, standing next to Mr. Xavier. He looked down at Nick...

Charles: "Dont worry Nick, the school is great, theres many children, just like you."

Nick: "How arewe going to get there?"

Charles pulled a communicater thingy out of his pocket and pressed a large red button on the middle of it. A black helicopter landed on Nick's front yard and Charles and Nick got inside, heading towards Salem Center, upstate New York, heading towards Nick's new life...[/color][/i]

[Orien_Xel]

Diego was biking to school, like he did every day. He was slightly puzzled by his new-found power to teleport, when a humm-vee screeched to a halt inches from him. Diego cringed, and slowly starting moving away. A few minutes later, as he was locking up his bike, a strange man in a wheel-chair approached him
Diego: Who are you?
???:"I'm Charles Xavier, and I now waht you are. You're a mutant."
Diego: "You mean the ones the newspapers are all talking about? How they-we-are a menace to society"
Xavier:"Yes, but we are not menaces. I can take you to a school with other mutants."
Diego accepted and a few days later he arrived at the school.

[Hinata]

[COLOR=orange][I]Raye looked out of the windo in her room as she noticed more and more students pull up to the school.
At least I'm not the only one...she thought to herself and turned away. As shge openend the door to her room and began to head out she remembered to grab her sweater and gloves. As she walked down stairds she put on her gloves when all of a sudden an rough looking man bumped into her. [/I]
Raye: I'm sorry.

Craig: That's okay. [I] He reached his hand out to help her out. Staring in his eyes she held her hand out but then quickly withdrew it remembering what could happen.[/I]

Craig: It's okay little woman I won't hurt you.

Raye: It's not you hurting me that I'm worried about. In fact it's quite the opposite.

[I] Craig laughed and walked a few steps away. Then he stopped and turned around.
[/I]
Craig: Well then are you coming or re you just going to keep knelling there.

[I]Raye looked at Craig as he stood there. 'He's kinda cute' she thought but then got up and put on her gloves. She walked over to him and they began to walk downstairs.[/I][/COLOR]

[Schrat]

[i][color=blue] Nick arrived at the school about fourty minutes after his depature. Him and Charles walked up to the school and through the front door.

Charles: "Welcome, to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters"

Nick: "cool"

Nick looked up at the beautiful arcitecture and the spiral staircases leading to the upstairs.

Charles showed Nick around the school that afternoon and eventually to his room. Nick unpacked and put on one of the school T-shirts, charles had given him. He walked down the stairs and looked around at all the students. It was approxiamtly six o'clock, time for dinner. Nick eventually made it to the mess hall and meet charles there. He shoke his hand and sat down as they awaited the other students arrival...

OOC: Hey guys, I thought the mess hall could be a good place for everyone to first meet, so if its ok with everyone, go head on over there.....[/i][/color]

[Rei]

[i]By channeling her rage and hatred toward the world into her powers Amara had her complete control over them. Amara lifted her hands up into the air creating winds strong enough to lift her self into the sky. Amara flew through the sky above the ocean for hours trying to control her rage but couldn't then she exploded. Amara had lost the control she had over her powers and created tornado's that had swallowed her up. As Amara twirled inside the tornado she became more angry causing the tornado to grow larger until it touched the ocean causing it to create a cyclone.[/i]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Warning...sweetreyes, Rouge's powers are mine. And I could've sworn you never signed up for this RPG. And not only is Craig with me, he's also in the cafeteria. Get another power, or better yet, ask Craig if you can actually join.
~~~~~~~~~~~~[/COLOR]
[COLOR=purple]Craig: ....What kinda name is Sil?

Sil: Who wants to know?

Craig: .....just wondering.

Sil: You do not want to know.

[i]She sat down and quietly consumed her meal. Without further ado, she stood up again and waved goodbye. With a quick movement, she opened the window, and looked three stories down. Perfect. While Craig watched with an open mouth, she slid out gracefully and flew off.

Once above the building, she let loose with a wild spin and turn, then she dove straight down, past the window, so low, she almost brushed the ground....then she flew in a straight line, and then spiraled upwards again, cutting a wide path through the atmosphere....

Freedom...to be who she was...[/i]

Sil: Tantalar...Efratha, Nu'ute, Gorjeouana.[/COLOR]

[darkfreak0304]

Venna couldn't beleive all of the lies she had heard, stalking in the aliways she knew that all Xavier had said was alie. Humans would never see through the diffrence between them and the mutants, they would always attack the mutantsout of fear. So then why should mutants not fight back? They were stronger, smater, they were just better then the humans, nothing could be said about that, they were after all called homo-SUPERIOR. Squattting in the shadows outside a club in D.C. Venna stopped and scratched at her back,
Venna: Damn Flees

just then cop a car came around the corner, the floodlight on it's roof traced slightly over Venna's dark furred body curled in the corner. IT wasn'tenough light to geta fulll glimpse of her, but enough to see some thing was there
Cop 1: HEy Who's there
the two officers came out pointing there gones at Venna
Cop 2: it's a mutant! call forbackup.
Cop 1: why it's just a little rat girl.

At this Venna became enraged, dropping off her sweater she flashed to the side of the ali, clinging onto the brick wall as bullets were shot at where she once stood.
Venna:Try Wolf!
She howled asshe leaped at the first cop bringing her claws across his neck swiftly cleaning his lungs from teh rest of his body, leaving an empty bloody space.

Cop2: Wha... don't move or i'll shoot!
Teh humanpatheticaly aimed his gun, shaking it in utter teror, Venna only snickered as she closed. The officerfired but Venna was behing before he even pulled the trigger. Running herclawsalong his back, she dug them in, severing his spine from the rest of his body. Dropping him to the ground she cut a whole in his stomach and began to eat.
Just as she finished a man floated down from teh sky in ametal purple and red suit, with a flowing purple cape. His face was covered by a shining helmet.
Floating Man: Ahh Venna...
Venna: Who are you??
Man: I am MAgneto, and I have an offer for you
Venna: What kind of offer?
MAgneto: Let's just say I too have an oppinion opposite of Charles Xavier.

Venna smiled as she heard those words,
Venna: Sounds like an offer I can't refuse.

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo][i]Somewhere deep in the slums of western Scotland commotion flurries in the streets. Broken splinters of a wooden door lay all about not far from the now-damaged door frame. Already making way down the street was a young hoodlum. His hands were violently shoving a few items in his coat pockets. Three older menm, probably in their early twenties, ran out from the doorway grabbing there bikes, which were propped up against the side of the house. They began their hot pursuit on the boy who had stolen from them.

The boy was Darwin Kendal. A locally labeled "freak", and a dangerous one at that. In times of great desperation and violent, strange things seem to happen because of him. Almost always, someone ends up hurt, or some property is damaged. Yet he is only sixteen years old. He is big for his age, but it is nothing out of the normal. He has been on the streets for a few years, and has gained the reputation, not only as a freak, but as a thief and con-artist as well.

This time, he had accidentally stolen from the wrong people. The three men riding on his tail as he dodges in and out of the crowds in the street are part of a fairly organized and unified clique in these parts. This clique was not necessarily a threat, or dangerous at all. Mainly just a group of people who look out for one another as friends, but do not take kindly to those who offend another.

Darwin could hear one of the men shouting, rallying people from their clique around. Fortunately, none of them happened to be in the current area. He glanced back noticing that they were starting to really gain on him. Without any concern for others, he jumped through a crowd of people (men, women, and children alike), and ducked into an alleyway. Unfortunately for him now, it was a dead end. He knew it was too late to make a sprint back out onto the streets so he just kept running. He could hear the sound of the bike tires squeal to a stop. Some yelling from the men came soon after as they chased him not on foot, knowing they had him cornered.

Darwin came to the end of the run and stopped. He turned around, breathing heavily from his run, as the trio of men came to a slow walk toward him; starting a decent distance away, closing in.[/i]

[b]Man 1:[/b] All right, you freak...

[i]His accent was heavily Scottish. Obviously, he was also familiar with Darwin's reputation.[/i]

[b]Man 1:[/b] We do not want to hurt you. Just give us back what you stole, and we will be on our way.

[i]Darwin hesitated at this as the men still advanced. He dug his hands into his pockets grasping whatever valuables he filched. He sized up each of the people who were approaching him. He was about the same height as all of them, and only slightly bigger in mass. He knew he would not be able to handle all of them at once.[/i]

[b]Man 2:[/b] We are not kidding! We do want to have to hurt you.

[i]The man said this while picking up a sraight, rusted lead pipe from the ground. Another grabbed a broken off 2x4, and the other picked up a small wooden box. Darwin gulped deeply but silently as panic began to creep in. All he took was a few pieces of jewlery, and some cash. The jewlery he would pawn for cash. He needed it. He did not want to have to give it up. At this thought, he inhaled through his nostrils in a somewhat vain attempt to calm himself.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] No.

[i]The men paused for a moment, looking at each other as if this kid were a moron for not returning the stolen items when he knew he would be getting beat down for it. They shrugged at each other and not paced persistently at Darwin. The man with the small wooden crate kicked into a light jog loading his arm back with the crate in hand. He launched the box in Darwin's direction. Darwin just stood there, as the crate flew past him and smashed into the brick wall behind him. The man that threw it was now right upon Darwin forcing a fist towards Darwin's face. Darwin ducked out of the way and ladged his own fist in the man's sternum. The man collapsed to the ground gasping for air. Before Darwin could even turn around, he felt a sharp sting in the back of his knees as one of the other men smacked him with the 2x4. He feel to his knees only to receive a blow to the back of the head from the same man. Darwin fell face first, quickly rolling himself over. The 2x4 came down on his gut this time. Darwin kicked at the man blindly. The man stumbled into a fall holding his groin. He looked up behind him as the third man weilded the lead pipe overhead. Too caught off guard to react, Darwin stared blankly as the man began to bring the pipe down. Darwin closed his eyes tightly preparing to be hit. After a couple seconds, he felt nothing. Then he heard a metallic clanging sound of the lead pipe hitting the ground in the distance. This was followed by a few hard hits, and a body falling to the ground. Darwin then could hear footsteps stopping right by his head.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] Get up.

[i]Darwin open his eyes, looking up at a oddly dress man. His face was hidden by a helmet, and his body was hidden by a large cloak. Dawrin did as he ordered and got up to his feet. He stepped a few paces so as not to be right next to the person.

Darwin looked around noticing all of the men that chased him were nearly unconcsious.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Who are you?

[i]Darwin asked this with his smooth, light, Scottish accent. He looked at the man with curious eyes.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] I am Magneto. You despise these people, do you not?

[b]Darwin:[/b] They have outcasted me all my life. Beaten me. Killed my family. Beaten me some more. Tormented me... A civil hatred has built up.

[b]Magneto:[/b] So you know you are different from the rest.

[i]Darwin nodded.[/i]

[b]Magneto:[/b] Do you know what it is that you are?

[i]Darwin shook his head.[/i]

[b]Magneto:[/b] Like myself, you are a mutant. Like myself, you have a power. It has come out in you. Do you know what I am talking about?

[b]Darwin:[/b] If you mean making objects glow and pretty much explode on contact when hit against something else, yes.

[i]There was a silence from this, Magneto. He seemed pleased.[/i]

[b]Magneto:[/b] Would you like to learn to harness and use this power? To become phsyically and metally stronger?

[i]Darwin thought about this quickly. Then nodded his head.[/i]

[b]Magneto:[/b] Join me.

[i]Darwin was suprised by this proposal. He took a step back without taking a curious gaze of of the man...[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] ... All right.

[i]He accepted. He needed something to belong to where he knew at least someone else was like him.

At this, Magneto grabbed him by the arm and levitated into the air onto the roof of one of the surroundind buidlings. A helicopter was there waiting for him. They both climbed in where another female mutant was waiting, and the helicopter took off.[/i][/color]

Kahrika watched evreything on the news about the mutant outbreaks. he also knew about how they were sort of recruting new mutants to do thier bidding. Well he wasn't going to join no one. He is a loner and will stay that way! Magneto tried to convince him but he scared him away. Xavier almost persuaded him, but he quickly said no and went off. Kahrika is walking down the street when
Guy 1: Hey kid this isn't mutant territory.
Kahrika: what makes you think im a mutant?
Guy2: Your gloves.
Kahrika: If im a mutant can you prove it?
Guy 3: Take off you gloves and show us your hands!
Kahrika: Here! He takes off his gloves and balst all three guys with a firecraker looking explosion. He quickly walks away and opens a door where he slumps down on the floor and turns on the tv to catch up on the world events.

[COLOR=royalblue][i]With a low swoop, she landed back on the roof of the Xavier mansion, energy slowly receeding back into her body. Moon Chaser relaxed her grip and walked down the stairs, back to her room. On her way, she bumped lightly into Craig, and gave him a look. He apoligized, and she smiled, winking, teasing...

She continued on her way, brushing an imaginary speck from her breast. Craig watched, rather surprised. Once she was inside her room, she locked the door and collapsed onto the bed, tired, but pleased. These long periods of sustained flight were what Xavier had recomended...for improving her strength.

Sil quietly removed her gloves, then the rest of her clothes. With a quick twist, she turned on the water in the shower as hot as she could bear it, then stepped inside, relishing the warmth of water against her skin. The only thing close enough to what she so desired.[/i]

Sil: ....I wish I could touch him.....it's not fair...

[i]Quiet, and calming herself, she stepped out of the shower, and wrapped a towel around her waist...[/i]

[cOLOR=purple]Side note: Sil is a flirt. Let's establish that character trait. She is also quite a tease. Please make her act acordingly.[/COLOR]

[color=crimson]Something was calling Ken. In his mind, he had somewhere he felt he needed to go. He was being drawn somewhere close.. Somewhere that he could call home. Reving the hummer, he sped down the highway as fast as the Hummer would go, heading twards that place.

Around 10 minutes later, he pulled into some kind of Mansion. Or school.

[b]Ken[/b]: Ehhh.. It looks more like a mansion. Well. Theres a ton of teenagers around.. So it might be a school... But why do I feel so calm here? Egh..

Turning the Hummer off, Ken stepped outside and locked the door, Looking around... It was quite nice actually. There were trees... teenagers... different ages... nice weather...

Ken walked twards one of the buildings, and wondered if he could maybe somehow stay here for a bit- It was out of the way, didnt seem to be full of adults, no cops in sight. Casually walking up to the door, he opened it and was standing in the middle of some sort of hallway. He glanced around a bit as he wandered in, noting various things, then he stopped to think for a bit.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: Ah. So you've arrived.

[b]Ken[/b]: CHRIST! *stumbles back suprised* Whoa. Whoever you are, dont do that- PLEASE. Yeesh.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: My apolgies. You are Ken, correct?

[b]Ken[/b]: ... Who's asking?

[b]Xaiver[/b]: A few days ago your parents were killed, in some kind of brutal accident dealing with fire.

[b]Ken[/b]: .... Yea.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: However, I do beleive you know differently- Correct?

[b]Ken[/b]: well. Eh. I kinda.. did.. erm..

[b]Xaiver[/b]: You are a mutant. You have special powers, and I want to help you learn to control them, and to be able to live a somewhat normal life.

[b]Ken[/b]: Whoaaaa... Buzz that one past me again.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: Come. I'll tell you all about it.

--- 10-20 Minutes Later

[b]Ken[/b]: So.. Its really isnt totally my fault? That my paren-

[b]Xaiver[/b]: You didnt want to kill them, did you?

[b]Ken[/b]: Sometimes, I wondered.. But I guess not.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: There is your answer. So, you know where your room is?

[b]Ken[/b]: Yes.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: And you are going to do as I told you, with your power?

[b]Ken[/b]: I'll try.. Its pretty powerful =/;

[b]Xaiver[/b]: You'll get the hang of it. If you will excuse me, I have other new students to attend to.

Xaiver began to leave, when he turned to Ken and grinned slightly.

[b]Xaiver[/b]: There are other new students here as well. Sil and Craig arrived a little before you did- I believe you will meet them soon enough.

Ken waved as Xaiver left, began to walk twards the cafeteria- He need to think about this.. And you cant think on an empty stomach.[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]She quickly dressed in her customary outfit of black leather and walked downstairs again, heading for the cafeteria...A new student was sitting down at the table, eating...with a pensive look on his face. She sat down across from him and stared intently.[/i]

Ken: ...hi.

Sil: What's your name?

Ken: What's yours?

Sil: I asked first. But I'm Sil.

Ken: Ken...

Sil: Is there something wrong?

Ken: Just thinking...[/COLOr]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson]Silently, Ken remembered what Xaiver had said. Something about Sil.. Looking up, through his sunglasses, he tried to remember. It dawned on him suddenly.

[b]Ken[/b]: Oh Hey-! You're new here too! Xaiver told me about you and um.. um.. *snaps fingers in the air* Craig! Whats up? Glad to meet someone who is as new as I am. *grins*[/color]

The cab ride was taking for ever. He was wondering how long it was going to take for him to get to this Xavier's place. But Justin believe that he was better off staying home. What ever is happening to him he could learn to control it on his own. At that moment with him thinking about why he left started to make him a little angry. Without him knowing his eye's turned sliver and his hand also started to turn. The cab driver look in his back mirror.

Cab Driver: Hey dude are you ok back there?

Justin: Yes am just fine just a little cold that's all.

Cab Driver: Cold? You got to be kidding as hot as it is, ok then. Hey wasn't your eye's just blue?

Justin: Yea I got those color changing contacts.

Cab Driver: Oh I yea I wouldn't mind having them.

Then as he started to calm down his hand and eyes went back to normal. After the long cab drive they where finally there.

Cab Driver: If you don't mind me asking what's your gift?

Justin: What's are you talking about?

Cab Driver: Well if you are coming here to Xavier's school. You must be a mutant. What power do you have?

Justin: I'm really strong.

Cab Driver: hmm cool the toll is $24.95.

Then Justin gave him thirty dollars.

Justin: keep the change.

Then Justin got the rest of his bags and started to walk towards the door way. As he was walking he saw a man in a welcher.

Xavier: Hey Justin my name is Charles Xavier. Your mother wants me to help you to control and understand your powers.

Justin: I really doing think I need help on my powers. She mainly wants me to stay here so I well stay out of trouble.

Xavier: I see, come with me.

[JJ]

Kahrika quickly comes to relize that the mutants were getting more and more open about thier powers. Using them to steal and destroy. He quickly decided that this was to good a power to waste. He thought aloud IF ANYONE CAN SHOW ME THAT THEY HOLD ENOUGH POTENTIAL ILL JOIN THEM! Magento once again showed his face
Magneto: Well come follow me and ill show you!
Kahrika: Bring it!
Magneto: Im Magneto and I think that your power will not go waste like the last one.
Kahrika: Someone had this power before me?
Magneto: Yes a girl named Jubilee, she worked for Xavier and really didn't do a whole lot.
Kahrika: I won't make the same mistake.
Magneto takes kahrika by the hand and he shows him on the roofs some of his mutants destroying a riot of people.
Magneto: See This is what you can do for me. I want mutants to be understood as the ultimante of our spieces!
Kahrika: Great sounds fun. I gotta jet!
Kahrika jumps off the building and lands on his feet. He goes back to hgis place where Xavier is waitng for him.
Xavier: Come here and ill show what you can become. He touches his head and shows visions of the X-Men and the instatute.
Kahrika: ill keep in touch
Xavier: Wait. I am not goning to force you but i know that this is what your parents would want.
Kahrika: HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
Xavier: Your mother is one fo the old x-men. Jubilee.
Kahrika: Well why'd she leave me on the streets?
Xavier: your father was a human andshe did'nt want magneto and them to find out.
Kahrika: Like i siad ill be calling.
Xavier: fine but rember your mother still lovesyou and mises you.
Kahrika: OH STOP ALREADY ILL COMNE TO THE INSTATUTE!
Xavier follow me.
He takes hgi to a helicopter that takes them back to the instatute where jubilee was waiting for him.
Jubilee: Kahrika? Is it really you honey?
Kahrika just gives her the cold shoulder and goes to the cafeteria.

Craig was pacing about the mansion, intrigued by the only metal door in the whole house. It was reinforced, that was clear... but Craig wasn't sure whether he sould test his claws against it. He suddenly saw Xavier coming down the hallway.

[B]Craig:[/B] Hey doc, where's this door go?

[B]Xavier:[/B] That door leads down to the danger room, and to Cerebro.

[B]Craig:[/B] ...

[B]Xavier:[/B] The danger room is a special room I've been developing that can hone your mutant power, but I'm afraid it's not quite finished.

[B]Craig:[/B] So what about the Cereb... the other thing?

[B]Xavier:[/B] Cerebro is a device to focus my power when I need to concentrate on a single mutant. It was how I found you, Sil, and Ken.

[B]Craig:[/B] Oh. Hey, who's Ken?

[B]Xavier:[/B] He's just arrived... he's down in the cafeteria, why don't you go and meet him? I think you two will get on well.

[B]Craig:[/B] Your the boss doc.

Craig walked slowly down the stairs, and looked around the doors, trying to remember which one leads to the cafeteria. He sniffed, and his acute sense of smell picked up the smell of food coming from one of the double doors. He could also hear talking behind that door.

He turned the handle, and walked into the room. There was a large boy, even bigger than Craig, sitting at the table eating pleasently. Sil was also there, sitting across from him. There was a bowl of fruit in the centre of the table, and Ken's plate, but nothing else. Ken looked up and smiled, he obviously knew who he was about to meet.

[B]Ken:[/B] Hey man, you must be Craig. Name's Ken.

[B]Craig:[/B] Pleasure's mine.

Craig paced over to the table... he still found walking a bit awkward, having not used his legs in the past four years. He held out his left fist at the bowl of fruit, and his middle claw shot out, straight through the middle of an apple. Ken smiled approvingly.

[B]Ken:[/B] Nice.

Craig held up the apple on his claw, and took a bite.

[B]Craig:[/B] So, ugh... what d'you do?

Ken pointed to his glasses with one hand, and grinned again as he shoved another handful of food into his mouth.

[B]Ken:[/B] If I take 'em off... stuff burns.

Sil held up her gloved hands, and smiled weakly.

[B]Sil:[/B] If I take these off, and then touch someone, they tend to pass out.

With that, she turned to Craig and smiled. He didn't really know how to take it, his last encounter with girls was when he was twelve, and he wasn't really thinking of them in a sexual way then. Eventually, Craig shot a grin back to her, and then turned to Ken, who's attention was now directed to the piece of fruit on Craig's claw.

[B]Ken:[/B] Ugh... so, are those claws natural?

Craig gazed at his claws for a moment, and he scowled.

[B]Craig:[/B] I don't wanna talk about it.

Craig turned to Sil.

[B]Craig:[/B] You can tell him, if it suits you.

With that, Craig took another munch out of the apple, and turned, preparing to walk out of the hall.

[B]Ken:[/B]... Nice guy.

[Schrat]

[i] Nick walked down a long a closed in Hallway, leading him to the Cafeteria. He opened the door and walked in. Not looking where hes going another mutant walked right into Nick. Nick fell as well as the other boy. He jumped up and the two mutants looked at each other.

Nick put his hand out, as well as the other kid, and as they began to put them closier together Nick fired a beam of ice into the other kid's hand...

???: "Ha, so you must be Nick, Xavier told me about you. I'm Craig"

Nick: "Yeah..."

Nick walked into the cafeteria and picked up a bottle of water. He walked over to the other boy and girl, who were already sitting down at a table, he sat down next to the girl and looked at her.

??? :" Hello there..."

Nick: "Hey, my name's Nick. Whats yours?"

???: "Sil, my names Sil."

Craig walked to the table and sat down...

Craig: "And this is Ken, he just arrived"

Ken: "whats up Nick?"

Nick: "Ah, nothing just getting settled"

Proffesor Xavier wheeled into the cafe and up to the table of children.

Xavier: "Ah, Nick I see you've meet Sil, Craig, and Ken."

Nick: "Yes, there all very Nice"

Xavier: "glad to hear that. Have you been settled into youre room? What about you Ken?"

Ken: "Yeah, the room's great"

Nick: "Mine's great too"

Xavier: "Thats terrific, I'd love for you all to sit and talk, but it's getting late. And I want you all to wake up bright and early tommorow."

Craig: "Why?"

Xavier: "Your first encounter with the danger room. Your the top four oldest students, I think you four should get in there first."

Craig: "oh yeah"

Ken & Nick: "Danger room?"

Xavier: "You'll see"

Xavier turns and wheels out of the room as the children all stand, preparing to go to bed...[/i]

[Nightwing]

Justin was siting in the back ground as he heard Xavier tell the other kids that they well have to weak up early for the danger room. The sound of it kinda made him feel a little good. Anything with danger Justin likes. Then Xavier rolled over to Justin.

Xavier: If you like you can also join them tomorrow in the danger room tomorrow.

Justin: Well it doesn't look like I'm going to be doing anything else.

Xavier: Good I think it well be a good experience for you and also the others. Now just like the others you too well have to get up early.

Justin then left the Cafeteria with a little smile on his face and went to his room.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sil smiled slightly...Craig was pretty cute, but she knew it wasn't worth it if she would never be able to touch him. She took off her gloves and silently peeled an orange with her nails. Ken watched her movements quietly and she turned up to look at him.[/i]

Ken: Sorry.

Sil: It's alright. I guess I look pretty harmless.

Craig: No offense, but you really do.

[i]One of her eyebrows perked slightly, her first impulse was to haul him over the table and bas his head in with the fruit basket..but she kept a grip on herself.[/i]

Sil: Mm, I suppose you don't remember who carried you partway here.

Ken: ....you don't look that buff either.

[i]She smiled broadly and flicked a peice of orange pulp at his head. Swiftly consuming the rest of the orange, she wiped her hands and pulled her gloves back on. Then she gracefully rose into the air behind them and landed at the head of the table. Without another word, she turned and sauntered out of the room...

Craig and Ken watched her retreating backside. Not only did she have a nice åss, she was also wearing skin tight leather...[/i]

Ken: She seems nice.

Craig: ...mm...yep.

Ken: I wonder if she really is as strong she says she is.

Xavier: You'll find out tomorrow.[/COLOR]
