RPG X Men: The Beginning

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: Well. I dunno what else to do but head to my room. Later man. See you tomorrow.

[b]Craig[/b]: ..'Night.

Ken silently rose up, walking out of the cafeteria. It sounded like tomorrow was going to be an interesting day, to say the least. Also it sounded like a tiring day... But, at least no one could find him here with ease.

Opening the door to his room, Ken looked around breifly. and shut the door behind him. He tossed his set of keys on the dresser, and stretched from side to side.

[b]Ken[/b]: This is pretty nice so far.. I can only wonder if Xaiver is the only one that is trying to recruit mutants..

Ken undressed down to his boxers, and climbed in his bed.. He had nothing better to do than to sleep.[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Next to naked, Sil reclined on her bed, feet up, book in her hands... While the others might prefer thrillers, she still found Sheakspeare to be just as invigorating....
Halfway through the second act of Romeo and Juliet, a knock on the door brought her back to reality. Totally unconcerned with her appearence, she rose to her feet languidly and and opened the door.[/i]

Ken: Hey --um...

Sil: Hmm? *looks down* Oh.

Ken: You wanna go put something on and...?

Sil: No.[/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: .. *stares*

[b]Sil[/b]: Well?

[b]Ken[/b]: I just wanted to know if you er. Wanted to like go for a walk or something. I cant sleep. But if you're busy, I could go get Craig or something to hang out with.. Or we could go.. hang out with... ... ... ... Craig. If you wanted... ... ... ..

Ken kept his composure somewhat, sweating slightly. Behind his dark sunglasses, he kept trying to keep his gaze on her face. Trying to be a gentlemen.. But it was difficult.

[b]Ken[/b]: ... ... ... Can you seriously put something on? Cause..;;.... Eesh. You're quite a nice looking young woman, arent you?... .... ... ;;..[/color]

[darkfreak0304]

Venna looked at magneto as he came back,, shaking her head, she knew he had more power over her but still, she didn't like being a subordiante just being an equal allie.
Venna: You lost another, he'll have more you know.
Magneto: But our family will be the strongest, and the most rightous

Venna: like sparky over there?
Magneto: Do not judge him, his powers are great once he harnises them.
Venna: we'll he is practically blind, i mean he couldn't even tell I was you know, a wolf practically
Magneto: None the less he will soon come to be a great ali and member
Venna: So what's next, need me to do some recruiting or something?

Magneto handed her a paper, it had a hotel address, room number, and a name.
MAgneto: be careful wit him, his power is great, and Xavier may already be trying to reach him, take Darwin and Sabertooth with you.
Venna:Ooooh I get to take big beasty, a whole bunch of wild ferocity

MAgneto rolled his eyes as Venna laughed and went on about the closest person who looked like her. The nVenna Wen't down to darwin and handed him three packs of purple and red playing cards.
Venna: C'mon it's time to play with the Xavier babys!

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue]Sil: Men...

[i]She pulled on a bra and jean shorts, then slipped on her ever present gloves. Then she smiled at Ken, who was still looking singularly uncomfortable. She smirked and walked past him, running a gloved finger across his chest at the same time...

His gaze followed the path of her finger, then he shook his head a few times, regaining his self control. She was both attractive, then dark at the same time.....the way she flirted, and the knowledge that her bare skin could kill, created an interesting complex...[/i]

Sil: Let's go get Craig. I want to explore the grounds.

Ken: ...O- *voice cracks* *clears throat* Yeah. Sure.[/COLOR]

[Gohan]

[I]Jack walked down the long street to his cheap, run down hotel. he couldn't afford anything better. He had the constant feeling that he was being watched, but brushed it off as just the slight feeling of insecurity walking past all of these.... "normal" people. He had to go out. He needed a drink so he went to the quietest bar he could find. But now he was on his way home. He reached the outside of the hotel and looked up. some of the windows had been broken so they were boarded up and the others had cracks in them. The bright neon sign, glowed brightly, displaying the word "ho-el", due to the broken "t".[/I]

[I]He reached his room and fumbled for the keys in his pocket but eventually got them out. As he walked in through the now open door, he still had the feeling he was being watched, but now it was stronger, as if he was being followed. He was about to shut the door, when what seemed like a quick blur went straight passed him followed with a breeze of cold air. He looked down at the almost empty bottle of bud, shrugged his shoulders and turned around, putting his head back and the bottle of bud to his lips. He closed his eyes and thought about the good old days.[/I]

[I]When he opened his eyes again he jumped. Someone was standing there in front of him. The light?s were still off so he couldn?t see his face, but a small glint of light, coming from the street lights, shined off it?s long silvery hair.[/I]

[B] Jack: [/B] Who are you? And how the hell did you get in here?

[B]???:[/B] My name is Seifer, and I know what you are.

[B]Jack:[/B] What the hell d?you mean what I am?! I?m not anything special.

[B] Seifer:[/B] So you don?t have any special powers?

[B] Jack: [/B] How do you know that?

[B]Seifer:[/B] That is not relevant. What is relevant is that we both are considered?.freaks! And we could both use each others help. It? better to fight alongside someone, than alone.

[B]Jack:[/B] Maybe I?d rather fight alone!

[B]Seifer:[/B] But do you really? Coz I sure as hell don?t! I?m sure it?s not just us that posses power. We need help!

[B]???:[/B] Well help is at hand my young friend.

[I] An old man sitting in a wheelchair, emerged from a dark corner of the room.[/I]

[B]???:[/B] I am Professor Charles Xavier. And I am here to help you.

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: So er... Tell me about yourself.

Ken was trying to get his mind out of the gutter, but was slipping further into the gutter it seemed. He silently wiped some sweat off his forehead, waiting for Sil's answer. She was an interesting person, a bit too open, but still an interesting person...[/color]

[Raiha]

[cOLOr=royalblue][i]She grabbed him by the arm and dragged her down the hall with him....with the other hand, she banged on Craig's door. He opened it, then his jaw dropped. Bra and shorts....bare skin...[/i]

Ken: Eheh.

Craig: Wha-?

Sil: Wanna go for a walk with us? We were planing on exploring the grounds.

Craig: Why are you....

Sil: I'm not affected by cold and hot. Now comeon!

[i]The three walked out into the cool night air... The stars were bright, due to the lack of moonlight....The forest like atmosphere served to give Sil a calm pleasure...one she had not experienced in a long time...[/i]

Ken: ...nice evening.

Sil: You wanted to know about me?

Craig/Ken: Sure.

Sil: I killed my mom when my powers manifested themselves...and wandered ever since. End of story.[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

My, Mr Xavier sure does get about. I can't wait to see him atop the great wall of China as he trains a few of us in the danger room at the same time. :rolleyes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Craig found peace inside the bare dojo. His room felt to conservative, the living room was too formal, the kitchen was always occupied. This room, it was cool, bare, with a dull wooden floor, and dark. Craig liked it here. Since he was 5, he had been training in Martial Arts, he excelled in Jeet Kune Do and Wushu. However, he hadn't practised either of them in over 4 years, and so he decided to take the night, and get over his rustyness.

His hands flew, crossing over his head, landing adjacently over one another, then he brought his hands along his chest, switching arm positions. He stoos side on, his weakest side (right side) facing forwards, with his arms at his left, and strongest side. Then, his arms flew outwards, his right hand at hip level, almost fully extended, palm facing upwards. His left hand was behind him, his upper arm at 45', and his lower arm completely vertical. His legs were spread apart, his feet at right angles to each other. This was one of the most disciplined Wushu stances, and it pleased Craig to see him perform it so smoothly.

Pressing his rihgt heel hard on the floor, he spun, bringing his left foot above his head. This kick was designed to break the neck if executed properly, the dominant foot would swing around so swiftly, designed to catch the end of the chin and therefore knock the vertebrae of the neck out of place. His left foot hit the floor again, just as there was a knock at the door. Craig breathed hard, and turned towards the door.

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah?

The door handle turned, and Ken entered, followed by Sil.

[B]Ken:[/B] Hey ugh, you wanna come with me and Sil to explore the grounds?

Craig considered for a moment, looking thoughtfully at the cold, wooden floor. He looked upand shrugged.

[B]Craig:[/B] May aswell.

Craig grabbed his towel, and walked out of the room, following Ken and Sil.

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue]*sigh* *shakes head* Let's all pretend that came just before my post. -_-;;
~~~~~~~~~[/COLOR]
[COLOR=purple][i]Sil turned and looked at Craig and Ken. Both were surprised. For all of her flirting and teasing, she was capable of being totally serious...She tapped her gloved hands together, then rose to her feet, aided by her powers of flight.[/i]

Ken: That blows.

Sil: ...not to mention I still haven't found who really hurt her in the first place....when I do....his pain will be a thousand times as great as mine.

[i]The vhemence in her voice was a harsh change from her usual smooth way of talking....she turned and faced the sliver of a moon, eyes shimmering slightly with liquid. This was a night full of feelings. Pain, and fear. But also one of hope, that there could be something else.

Moon Chaser turned around, lights snapping playfully in her eyes.[/i]

Craig: Hmm?

Sil: Who's up for tag?[/color]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: If only I could fly.

[b]Craig[/b]: Mmm.. I bet I could catch Sil. I'm fast enough..

[b]Ken[/b]: Lets see if Craig can catch Sil. I bet you cant. She can fly, dude.[/color]

[Yoda]

[B]Craig:[/B] She can fly... but I have the power of enhanced healing.

[B]Ken:[/B]... I fail to see the advantage.

[B]Craig:[/B] Well... I could get onto the roof of the mansion, and leap at her... and if I miss... I have a good chance of surviving.

[B]Ken:[/B] o_o'''.

[B]Craig:[/B] Good plan?

[B]Ken:[/B] Ugh... in a word... no.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Sil: Of course...you know that if you touch my bare skin, you'll drop dead.

Craig: How about, you can't fly further than we can reach from the ground?

Sil: ....Hmmm....okay.

Ken: Need I say more?

Sil: ...maybe touching hair should count...

[i]Laughing at Craig's face, she rose into the air slightly and moved just out of their reach...teasing...playful once more. With a quick move, she swoped down and tapped Craig's face with a gloved hand.[/i]

Sil: You're it.

[i]With another quick dodge, she avoided his playful slap and swerved violently between the trees...moving swiftly, but allowing them to keep up at a headlong run.[/i][/cOLOR]

[Andrew]

[I]The night was cold, a harsh wind blew through the streets. This was no surprise. The weather had been the same ever since Andrew had left that night. For the last four weeks Andrew had got by from stealing, conning and doing whatever it took to get the smallest scrap of food. His father had finally snapped after discovering that he was ?one of them?.

He felt a sickly chill fly up his spine and then slowly plummet into the backs of his knees. Where he sat, which was a small alleyway, Andrew could se his reflection in the windowpane opposite him. His blue jeans now had a foul smell about them, as did his tight grey T-shirt and white trainers. He looked down at his size 14 trainers and then back at his reflection. This time a look of disgust came across his face as he lunged forward throwing his fist at the reflection. Andrew fell to his knees clutching his hand feeling the broken pieces of glass within the bloody cut.

Now leaving the small alley, Andrew walked on to the street, his bloodstained hand tucked away within the pocket of his trench coat. His pace was fast and agile, he swayed between people who had no concern for him, not even having the decency to move a little for his large form. Andrew could now feel the harsh sting of the glass within his knuckle.

Suddenly, he heard a smooth voice inside his head. It sounded friendly. [B]Mutant...Mutant.[/B] He looked around surprised. Again came the voice. [B]I know what you are Andrew. I can help you grow, strengthen yourself. I?m just up ahead of you. Come to me.[/B] Andrew sped up his pace yet again and turned a corner to be confronted by a man wearing a cape and helmet.[/I]

[B]Andrew:[/B] Who are you?

[B]???:[/B] I...am Magneto.

[B]Andrew:[/B] How do you know who I am?

[B]Magneto:[/B] I?ve been following you since you were first cast out by your father. I?m recruiting strong mutants who will aid me in my worthy cause. I already have several people.

[B]Andrew:[/B] What cause is that?

[B]Magneto:[/B] To take our place as rightful owners of the planet, to rule over the weak humans. They fear what they can?t explain and automatically cast out those clearly gifted as freaks. Help me Andrew!

[B]Andrew:[/B] Sorry, I don?t see things that way. Thanks for the offer though.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Those who do not join me, will be crushed!

[I]Andrew instantly began to flee as Magneto rose his fist to him. He swiftly turned the corner and ran towards the outskirts. Andrew ran as fast as his legs could take him. Instinctively, He took to all fours and began to hop slightly. This took him much quicker. Before he knew it he was already in the forest just outside of the town. Andrew had been on the street for too long and he wanted shelter and comfort. He would find it this night or die trying. On top of that he also had this mad man Magneto on his back.

Soon he came to a wall. Using his new ?gift? he jumped to the top of it. Way off in the distance he could see a large mansion with a few windows lit. He could also see a few people near the outside.

Craig instantly picked up on the new sent in the area, mostly due to the fact that it was a foul unwashed smell.[/I]

[B]Craig:[/B] I think we have company...

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo][i]Darwin unwillingly followed Venna and Sabertooth, walking a few steps behind. He put two of the packs of playing cards in one of the pockets in his pants. He opened the remaining one and pulled out a few cards. There was nothing special about them except for the fact that they were very stiff, and the corner came to points...[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] What am I supposed to do with these?

[i]Venna a Sabertooth came to a slow stop. A little annoyed by the rookie, but they could understand his position.[/i]

[b]Venna:[/b] You throw them.

[i]Fortunately, aside from marbles, Darwin picked up a knack for cards as well. He used them in his schemes to con older people, whereas he used the marbles to take advantage of children. He was familiar in throwing cards so that they did not fly around at random, and since these were more stiff, he knew it would be easier.

So he gave one a toss. It buzzed straight passed Venna's ear, and down the corridor. It landed not far out of sight. Darwin looked at Venna curiously..[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] What exactly is that supposed to accomplish?

[b]Venna:[/b] Magneto mentioned that you said you have the ability make things explode if they come in contact with something else?

[b]Darwin:[/b] Something like that. I am unsure of what it is exactly that happens, but the object exploding seems to always be the product.

[b]Venna:[/b] Then make those cards explode.

[i]Venna and Sabertooth turned around to continue walking..[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] I do not yet know how to control that power...

[i]Sabertooth stopped abruptly, apparently easily angered. He charged back and forced Darwin back up against a wall, holding him by his throat. Sabertooth spoke in a vexed, growly voice.[/i]

[b]Sabertooth:[/b] Well you had better learn to control them, boy! Or else you will end up dead like the rest of your family!!

[i]A personal chord was struck hard in Darwin's mind. He lifted his feet up and kicked Sabertooth in the chest. Not expecting this, Sabertooth stumbled back harshly into the wall on the other side of the corridor. Venna watched in amusement as a faint red glow caught her attention. It was coming from Darwin's eyes. He wound up quickly and threw the two remaining cards in his hands at Sabertooth, both of which also acquired the red glow. The cards stuck into the wall on either side of Sabertooths torso and immediately combusted violently. Sabertooth grunted loudly. If he was not so durable, or if the cards would have actually hit him, he might have actually been injured. Sabertooth got up from his knees, about ready to pounce on Darwin who now was back to normal, still glaring at Sabertooth. Venna placed her hand on Sabertooth's shoulder, calming him down. She looked at Darwin..[/i]

[b]Venna:[/b] An interesting ability. You seem to be quite familiar with it already. Learning how to control it should not take long for you.

[i]Venna and Sabertooth began walking once again, Darwin followed at a distance again. As he walked down the hall he came pass the first card he threw. He put the rest of the deck in one of his coat pockets, and picked up the solitary card while continuing to walk. He held it down in front of him with his forefinger and thumb, and looked at it with a curious focus. It was a Joker. He never called them by such, but that was the card it was. He called them Jesters. It always came as a better ring to his ear. As he examined the card, his focus became more intense. Even his slight grip on the card increased. Then, slowly, the card began to attain the familiar glow. When it consumed the entire card it radiated in a misty sort of way. He now just gazed into the card. Thinking about where he was going.

"Who is this Xavier guy?"

"Is he recruiting fellow mutants as well?"

"Why aren't Magneto and him doing this together?"

"Why didn't he try to find me like Magneto did?"

"What are they both trying to accomplish?"

Many thoughts, such as these, raced through his mind. He was unsure of anything and everything that was going on with him. Had he joined the right team? Are there teams? Which one is which? Which one is best for him? He was fairly confused, but he tried not to let it bother him. His thoughts were broken by a sound of clanging metal. His concentration gone, the card went back to normal. He placed it back with the others. Venna had opened iron double doors that led outside into a giant parking lot. Alongside the walls of the complex they were in were three sleek motorcycles. Venna approached one of them and got it ready to go.[/i]

[b]Venna:[/b] Ever driven one of these before?

[i]She looked at Darwin.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Not legally.

[i]Venna smirked.[/i]

[b]Venna:[/b] Then this should be a breeze for you.

[i]She and Sabertooth were already mounted on theirs, the engines hummed silently. These were obviously built to sneak around. Darwin lifted the remaining bike of the wall and climbed on, kicking the and started the engine.[/i]

[b]Venna:[/b] Heh, all right. Let's go!

[i]At that, they all sped off through the parking lot and through the perimeter fence gates, which closed behind them.

Through a window high up in the complex, Magneto watched them drive off...[/i][/color]

[Nightwing]

Justin was looking out his window just drifting off in space. Then in an instant something cough his eye. He looked over at the wall and saw something jump it.

Justin: What was that?

He tried to flow what ever it was but it was moving to fast for him to fallow. He then ran towards the door. He was about to grab his shirt but he decided not and just went out his door.

Justin: I think I should tell the other's about this.

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Ken[/b]: Good or bad company?

[b]Craig[/b]: Right. You expect me to know that from his scent?

[b]Ken[/b]: It would help, wouldnt it?

Craig shook his head, as Ken casually shrugged. Cutting his shrug short, he decided to take Craig seriously, and glanced around. Nothing seemed that unusual really.. But he knew that something had to be up.

[b]Ken[/b]: Well can you at least tell us where it's general direction is?[/color]

[Yoda]

Okay guys, for the sake of the plot in this RPG (yes, there is a plot)... I've decided to change my character. The "Wolverine" Craig will now be referred to as Logan... and he will be about 26, completely familiar with his powers, and the second teacher in the mansion (Much like he is on Xmen: Evolution). He will no longer be completely controlled by me, but another NPC like Xavier.

To see what my new character is like, please check my edited bio.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Craig sat in his bedroom, inside his Uncle's flat in the bad part of New York City. He had been here for near enough four years now, and expressed very little interest in anything except honing his ability. He was getting fairly good, he could lift small metal objects like pens or spectacles with very little effort... and with great concentration he was able to move things like street lights, or even busses. He did, however, have very little knowledge of the limits of his power... and he knew no-one who did. His uncle was a drunk, held three jobs, and he was always argueing with Craig. His name was Larry. Craig got up, and picked up his trench coat. He walked out of his bedroom, and headed for the flat's door.

[B]Larry:[/B] Hey boy, where d'ya think y'er goin'?

[B]Craig:[/B] Out.

[B]Larry:[/B] Like hell y'are! I'm sick of this shít all the damn time. Always gettin' in trouble, makin' me look like a bad guardian.

[B]Craig:[/B] You are a bad guardian... you'd see it if you put down the drink bottle for a while.

[B]Larry:[/B] What'd you say?

[B]Craig:[/B] I called you a pathetic alchoholic who is a pathetic excuse for an uncle, and who had no friends and can't hold down a job because he is always stealing from the work place.

[B]Larry:[/B] Oh, don't make me take my belt to you boy.

[B]Craig:[/B] Try it... old man.

[B]Larry:[/B] Dat's it boy.

Craig's uncle got up, and pulled out a knife. Craig smirked, and raised his hand towards knife. He closed his eyes, and concentrated, and the knife flew out of his uncle's hand, and turned on him, the blade stopping only millimetres from his eyes. Craig opened his eyes, and smiled once more.

[B]Craig:[/B] Now, uncle... I'm going to leave. I don't know when I'll be back, or who with, but if you ever... ever try to threaten me again, I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop the knife next time.

With that, Craig lowered his hand, and the knife fell to the floor. He raised his toehr hand to the door, and the handle turned, opening the door. With another look at Larry, who was clearly shocked beyond belief, Craig walked out of the door, shutting it behind him.

Craig was amazed when he saw, standing before him, a huge figure, dressed in red and black, with a metal helmet that shadowed his entire face.

[B]???:[/B] Hello there Craig. My name is Magneto...

[B]Craig:[/B] Wow, New York really does have every kind of freak. If you don't mind, mr Magnet man, I have places to go.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Yes, it truely does have every kind of freak... but then again, you'd know, wouldn't you?

[B]Craig:[/B] What's that supposed to mean?

[B]Magneto:[/B] Oh please, spare me. I know what you are... and let me tell you, I've been paying very special attention to you.

[B]Craig:[/B] Well... if you know what I can do, then you know not to mess with me... especially if you're wearing that metal suit.

Magneto broke into a shrill chuckle. A tinge of fear and unsurety ran through Craig at that moment.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Listen boy... there is a reason I am called Magneto. I am the MASTER, or magnetism. Your power is impressive, but it is only a fraction of my own.

[B]Craig:[/B] Is that so? We'll see.

Conveniently, a crobar was resting against the wall near Craig's feet. He held out one hand, closing his eyes again, and the metal bar rose. This brought a smile to Magneto's shadowed face, as he muttered "Good!" Under his breath. The crobar shot towards Magneto, and he broke out into laughter. Magneto didn't move a muscle, and yet the crobar stopped in mid-air. Craig felt as if he was trying to push the crobar through an invisible, and utterly inpenetrable wall.

[B]Magneto:[/B] I'm impressed boy... you certainly have a knack for it. With time and much training, you may even grow to be as strong as me. Will you let me train you?

[B]Craig:[/B] ... Hell... no. Your going down... old man.

[B]Magneto:[/B] So be it...

Suddenly, Craig felt a force coming from Magneto that completely overwhelmed his own. The crobar shot towards him, his power rendered useless against the massive force he was competing with. The crobar drove through Craig's stomach, and he fell to his knees, clutching the wound. Magneto laughed once more, then left. Craig, with the last of his strength, focused on the crobar, and removed it from his chest, before passing out.

[darkfreak0304]

Venna looked up as they closed into the hotel, she saw a light on in the room and three people, one of them in a wheel chair. Instantly shebegan thinking,
Venna:Darwin, hurl one of your cards at that window!!!!
Darwin:wha!?
VEnna: Just do it NOW!!
Darwin's eyes glowed and he lit the charge onto the card hurling it towards the window. It streaked nicely towards the window but missed, impacting the side of the romm, but it was enough.
Venna: C'mon Beasty lets go, Darwin hurry up we may need you for back up.
Darwin: But how do we know which one not to hit?
Sabertooth: The one that's not scared.

Venna was instantly into the room throughthe blastwhole, she sawa white haired boy carrying Xavier away and to the black bird. But then she saw him, Jake...
Venna: HAte to do it this way but.... You better come with me boy
Jake: And why should I do that.
Venna: BEcause Xavier will just throw you away, let the humans ravage you, he doesn't understand, the fear we have of them. It's even greater then the one they have of us. Trust me I know he won't help you, he couldn't help me.

At this Venna showed a small X on her arm, It was Xavier's insignia, Jake had ben told that.
::Venna, leave him alone!::
She knew that voice it was proffessor X,
Venna: WHy So you can let them destory him.you will only hurt him, cause him more greif then he already needs, he doesn't need your help charles, he needs answers, he needs the truth, something you can't provide.

Venna looked at Jake, his hands started to glow, she hadn't been informed of his power, she didn't read that part, but sheknew it had to be something big.
Jake: I'm going with Xavier
Venna:Sorry can't let you do that, not letting him throw away another family member.
Atthis JAke threw out hisarms energy ripped out of them, Venna dived underthe blasts, comming up she brought her claws to his neck. The silver held boy came back again, but Venna had teh advantage.

Venna: Come closer and he's gone.
Just then sabertooth crushed through the wall, smashing into hte silver hairedboy, launchin him down onto theground. Venna broughther fist into jakes temple knocking him out.
Venna:Get blasty it's time to go.
They Hopped back onto the bikes, venna holding jake, How could he be so blind, all of them, Xavieronly offered more pain, MAgneto offered a sollution.

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo][i]As they rode straight away on their motorcycles Darwin peered back at the academy they just raided. There was a figure sitting in a wheelchair looking out the hole Darwin had blasted in the wall. Even though they were some distance away, he knew that whoever it was, they were staring at him. Darwin came to a slow stop on his motorcycle. The others, who were ahead of him like always, took no notice that he stopped, and rode on. Darwin just gazed back on the mansion. The light in the room made the figure a silhuoette, adding all the more mystery to Darwin's thoughts.

"Who is that?", he thought to himself.

He recognized the wheelchair, and he could recall what the man looked like from the breif moments they were in the room together, but Darwin failed to catch his name. Minutes passed by as Darwin just continued to stand there looking at the man. He felt no hostility from him. A moment or two passed, then the man wheeled back, and left the room. Darwin looked back down the road. Venna and Sabertooth were long since gone. He then looked back at the mansion, and his curiosity overwhelmed him. He kicked the engine back on and road back down the road.

He arrived at the gates, which were closed, and parked his bike in the brush off to the side. He approached the gates once more, and examined them. There was merely a chainlock holding them shut. He reached into his coat pocket and removed a card. He focused on it intently. Nothing happened at first, but after a few moments passed by the card became charged with the familiar glow. He did not want to cause any damage... well, more damage than he already had caused. So with his free hand, he grabbed a portion of the chain and pulled it tight. He lowered the card slowly to the steel. Immediately, charges and sparks flew about as the card cut through the chainlink. When he was finished, he took his concentration off the card, and put it back with the others. He unwound the chain from around the gate doors, and walked through closing the gates behind him.

He walked cautiously down the path to the main doors. He was suprised no one had noticed him by now. Especially with all the commotion that he took part in earlier. When he was about three-fourths of his way to the doors, they opened. A few fellow mutants walked out laughing at something amongst themselves. They walked in Darwin's direction, and obviously took notice of him.[/i]

[b]Female Mutant:[/b] Hi!

[i]She flashed him a friendly smile. Darwin gave a semi-guilty grin back, but did not say anything. They obviously were not around when he was here earlier. They passed by him continuing to talk to one another as Darwin walked up the front steps and to the main entrance. He raised his hand to knock, but stopped as the door began to open. He lowered his hand and watched as the door opened, revealing the man in the wheelchair.

Darwin was taken by shock, and rendered speechless. He stood there with his mouth half-open staring at the man...[/i]

[b]???:[/b] I suspected you would come back. Your confusion fed your curiosity, and this is why you are now at my door.

[i]Darwin tried to speak, but there was nothing there. So he just slowly nodded his head.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] You do not know exactly what it is that is going on. You have already met Magneto, and agreed to follow him. You do not know why, you just felt the desire to belong. So you blindly worked under him, but this only happened quite recently. I suspect in destroying part of this building earlier, you were merely following orders.

[i]Darwin's tongue was tied in too many knots to count! This man knew so much, for only seeing him so little. Darwin glanced at the area where the wall had been destroyed, and to his surprise... it was whole again! He choked on his thoughts as they overwhelmed his brain, and finally just swallowed them. Looking back at the man, Darwin finally remembered how to speak. He began first, by nodding his head.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Yes... Yes, I was following orders. I do not know what is going on, I do have the desire to belong... Who are you? And what is all this that I have found myself in?

[i]The old man smiled a little.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] My name is Xavier. I am sure you have heard of me before...

[i]Darwin eagerly nodded his head, finally, he knew who this 'Xavier' was..[/i]

[b]Xavier:[/b] Come inside, I shall explain the rest.

[i]As Xavier began to retreat into the academy, Darwin followed..[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Do you think Venna and Sabertooth will come back for me?

[i]Xavier stopped, and looked at Darwin.[/i]

[b]Xavier:[/b] You are not that strong with your mutant power yet, they do not see you as much of an asset. No doubt, you will meet them later on through whatever means, but they will not return for you.

[i]Darwin nodded once again, and followed Xavier around the mansion as he was told all about the history of mutants, what it was Magneto and himself were fighting for, and what Xavier does here at his school for the gifted...[/i][/color]

[cOLOr=royalblue][i]Sil raised her head and looked around. There was something wrong....and she didn't like it. With a single movement, she bent her knees, then rose into the air.

High above the Xavier mansion, she turned in a complete circle, while looking down....sighting....her hand straying to the handle of her scabbard....There was a bad moon, and it was reflecting someting.[/i][/COLOR]

[i] Nick woke up the next mourning bright and early. He pulled a pair of jeans up over his boxers and threw a grey school t-shirt on. He tied his white basketball shoes on and opened up the door to the hallway. Nick walked down the hallway which lead to a staircase down to the south area of the mansion. Nick looked around and saw Xavier wheeling around and talking to a man, who did not look familiar. Nick continued to walked down the hallway until he reached a large, metal like door with an "X" on it.
He ran his hand accross the cold metal and wondered how to open the door. All of a sudden Nick heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and Sil and Ken walked towards Nick. He walked up to them...

"This is where were supposed to meet right?"[/i]

[Raiha]

[cOLOr=royalblue][i]She sighed and dropped to the ground. Easy and light...There they were.....waiting.[/i]

Nick: ....right?

Sil: Yes.

Ken: ready?

Sil: Of course.

[i]She crossed her arms, then leaned back...ready for it.[/i][/COLOR]

At the institute a cab pulls up. A young japanese gets out and looks around. he pulls a single black bag out of the car. and walks into the mansion. HE can't see any one so he trys yelling
???:"Hello?"

[Orien_Xel]

Diego had unpacked and was now wandering around the mansion. His wanderings led him down, into the basment levels. He found himself walking down a long corridor. He spotted a group of people at the end. He jogged over.
Diego: "Hi, I'm Diego. I just arrived, so this place iis sort of confusing....You are?"
???: "Hi, I'm Nick, this is Sil and Ken."
Diego: "Nice to meet you. So you guys are mutants too, right?"
