RPG X Men: The Beginning

[Gohan]

[I]Jack walked out of the changin room just as he was putting his left glove on. He looked at his reflection in on of the empty pods. He smiled. He walked over to the rest of them and looked at Sil and Adriana, he smiled again. He then stood admiring everyone elses' costume, and followed the rest of the group until everyone had recieved their suits[/I]

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer grinned as Xavier raised his suit out of the pod. Seifer quickly placed the suit on and glanced down at it. The suit was a skin tight, light blue, silk suit. The gloves and boots were bright silver and at the bottom the boots were grips, so that Seifer doesnt fall when he his running at high speeds. There was a silver lightening bolt going from his left shoulder to his right hip, with an indentation half way along with a red 'X' in the middle.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Nice suit professor .

[B]Xavier:[/B] I knew you would like it.

[Yoda]

btw, Craig looks just like Gambit in the original Xmen... atleast with his suit on.

Oh... and now the short but inevitable list of people who must leave because they cannot read or write:
Orien_Xel
darkfreak 0304
Darncoolguy1

Please, do not complain about this, but it's for the best.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Craig came out of his room, carrying the metal rod Xavier had said about. It could extend at both ends from 2 feet to about 6 feet in length... which of course was controlled by Craig's power. There were 5 rectangular metal disks inside the coat, which must have been what Xavier spoke of. They were thin and sharp at the edges... perfect for cutting.

Craig walked back to the metal door, and noticed a kid who wasn't there before. Craig was almost blinded by his gleaming silver hair.

[B]Craig:[/B] How much does it cost to power that head?

[B]Seifer:[/B] What was that?

[B]Craig:[/B] Nothing man... just stating how you literally light up a room when you enter it.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Oh... real original, I've never heard that before.

Seifer and Craig grinned, they could already feel a rivalry sprouting, even though each of them knew little about the other's power.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Moon Chaser winked at Adriana and floated away eaily, moving like a fish in water. With a quick burst of speed, she moved up to her room and quietly opened the door. She pulled open the bottom drawer of her dresser and pulled out a long mahogany case. She slowly opened it and drew oyt a long broad tipped sword. With slow movements, she hung the leather scabbard on her belt, and twirled the blade.

"Soon you will sing with me again."

She quickly tossed it into the air, and then turned a tight circle once...then stuck out her hip...The blade whooshed down, and slipped neatly into the scabbard. Pleased with it's responsivness, she turned and quietly moved downstairs again....[/i]

Adriana: Still haven't abbandoned steel?

Moon: It is the best way.[/COLOR]

[Guest QuickSilver]

[B]Seifer:[/B] So your power is being a comedian?

[b]Craig:[/B] No *grin spreads across his face* this is my power.

Craig makes the rod that was in his hand extend to its maximum length. The rod headed towards Seifer's mid section but before it could even make contact with seifer he had quickilly and skill fully dodged the rod.

[B]Seifer:[/B] You will have to be quicker than that to get me, i am faster than a speeding bullet. So let me guess, you are a physic, just like the Professor?

[B]Craig:[/B] Your guess is wrong my friend, i can control metal objects at will.

Craig lowers his rod back to its original length and rest it nicely by his side.

[B]Seifer:[/B] *grins* nice. i'm Seifer and whats your name?

[B]Craig:[/B] The names Craig.

[Andrew]

[I]Andrew, even though he was next in line after Craig, had to wait until last. Xavier beckoned him towards the front of the line. Andrew quickly slid past everyone in front of him. Xavier pointed towards the pod next to him.[/I]

[B]Xavier:[/B] Here you go Andrew, your uniform.

[B]Andrew:[/B] Maybe I should take a bath or shower before, I?m stinking...

[I]Andrew took off his jacket and then his T-shirt. He then picked his uniform out of the pod. It was a very large suit to fit his body, despite this it was skin tight. It was totally black and went down to just below his knee and up to just below his elbow. The top of it went totally over his head but left holes for his eyes, nose and mouth. (For anyone who doesn?t know, find a picture of Beast from the original X Men and picture his suit in black) It also had white X?s in various places. He carried on back towards the door to go to his room. As he slid past them all, his chest brushed past them all, and everyone noticed how ?ripped? he was.

He continued towards his room and opened the door. He threw his old clothes to the floor near the bin and dropped his uniform on the bed. He proceeded to taking off his jeans and boxers and strolled over to his shower naked. He closed the door separating the small bathroom and his bedroom and proceeded to wash. The water scolded the filth from him that had accumulated over the last four weeks.[/I]

[I]After Washing, he left the shower and quickly dried himself off. Even though he had shaved his face and other places several time she still noticed that he was just as hairy if not more hairy than before.[/I]

[B]Andrew:[/B] That?s weird, damn hairs...puts off the ladies.

[I]Andrew put his uniform on and approached the ?Suit room? again. He was ready for this danger room, and was going to take his power to he limits![/I]

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo]Woo... it has been a few pages...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[i]The bright noon light forced open Darwin's eyes as he awoke from a long sleep. He sat up in a bed he did not remember laying down in, and in a room he did not remember entering. It was a seemingly normal room, nothing too extravagant. Just enough room for a bed, some living space, and a restroom. To his left, on a small stand, he looked at the digital clock that sit there...[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Twelve-thirteen...

[i]He stretched his arms out as a roaring yawn escaped from his lungs. He then stood up next to the bed arching his back feeling all his vertebrae pop. He straightened up and let out a sigh of content. He turned looking into the room. In the corner he took notice of a collapsable table and two chairs. On the table was a piece of paper with some writing on it, along with the scattered contents of what were in his pockets, which he did not remember removing. On one chair, his coat was draped over the back, which he did not remember taking off; and on the other chair was a stack of clothes.

Curious, he slowly, but willingly, approached the table. He looked down at the sheet of paper. It was a note, addressed to him, with Xavier's signature at the bottom. He read the note over:

[size=1]"Darwin,
First, I would like to welcome you to my academy for mutants like, and unlike, yourself. I am honored that you have decided to stay here for now. I shall remind you that you can leave whenever you want; for whatever reason. The other mutants here are all friendly in their own unique manner. I have spoken to several of my recent students about you, just letting them know that you are here. Hopefully, you will find them. They will let you know who they are.

In the mean time, I am sure you do not remember much from last night. By the time we finished speaking, it was fairly late into the night, and you were extremely fatigued. So I led you to this room that your are in now. Consider this your residence. It is not much, but you will not be spending too much time in here. If you become hungry, there is a cafeteria, ask a fellow mutant where to find that. I, myself, shall contact you at a later time. I have some other business to attend to right now.

On your left you will notice a stack of clothes on a chair. These are for you. I do believe the measurements are right. I based what was chosen off of what you are currently wearing. Just to help you acquire the feel for the clothes a bit easier.

I know you are still curious as to what your power really is. We shall speak of this later. You seemed to have a pretty decent idea on how to harness the power last night, so just work with that until I meet with you. Outside this building and around the back there is a practice area for people with abilities that can be rather violent. When you learn to guage you power better, I shall take you into the real training room here in the academy. I am sure you will get there in no time. Until then, just practice on controlling how much power you exert into your cards.

With that said, continue about your business. I shall meet you later tonight.

-Xavier"[/size]

Darwin nodded, and set the paper back down on the table. He moved over to the chair with the new clothes on it and looked to see what it was that he was given. He smiled faintly in approval, set them back down on the table and walked into the restroom.

[size=1]- about a twenty minute time lapse -[/size]

Darwin stepped out of the restroom wearing nothing by his briefs. His body glistened as it was still a little damp from the shower. He combed his semi-long, wet, hair back with his fingers. He then changed into the clothes which Xavier had provided for him.

When he was finished, he stood in mainly black, and deep blue. Black, buckled, combat boots covered his feet. His pants were black as well. Loose-fitting, but not really baggy. Just enough to give him comfort and easy mobility at the same time. A belt was wrapped around his waist, the buckle was a rough metal oval with an "X" engraved in it. His torso was covered with a tight black shirt, which he tucked into his pants. On top of that was a deep blue chestplate, another "X" was found on this starting at each of his shoulders and going across his body. The plate seemed to almost be exactly molded to his body. He would have to train phsyically to develop his muscle a bit. His hands were gaurded with black gloves that reached up to his elbow, and were cut off at the fingers. Over it all was a long, black trench coat.

He maneuvered around a little bit to help break in his new attire, and break himself in to wearing them. After he finished, he picked up his cards and shoved them in the pockets of his coat and walked out the door of his room. He was hungry, as he had not eaten a day or so. So the cafeteria would definitely be he first stop. Now if he could only find his way there...[/i][/color]

[Yoda]

Xavier waited patiently as the team went and changed into their suits. One by one they returned... and Xavier became anxious as he knew Darwin would be waking up at some point. He wanted to send someone to meet with him, and help him find his way around. Eventually the entire team, besides Darwin, stood before him.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Let me now explain a few things. The danger room is ready, and I will be sending four of you in, in just a moment. As I must stay and supervise the training session, I am without a guide for the new student Darwin. Would anyone like to volunteer to be his guide... only for today?

The students looked about edgily, they all wanted a chance to go into the danger room, some of them especially wanted to be the first to be picked. Sil, noticing the male's stubborness kicking in in all of them, eventually stepped forward.

[B]Sil:[/B] I guess I'll have to do it. Let the men have their toys...

Xavier smiled.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Thank you Sil. I would have liked you to be one of the first in, but so be it. Now... I think I shall send in...

Xavier stared about the group, and quickly his eyes fixed upon Andrew, who was clearly the largest in the gang.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Andrew... would you like to go in?

[B]Andrew:[/B] Sure... I guess.

Xavier scanned the group again, and he noticed Craig and Seifer... half confronting each other, half trying to concentrate on Xavier. Xavier smiled thinly.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Craig... Seifer, how would you two like to go in?

[B]Craig:[/B] Suits me.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Why not.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Excellent... and... Ken! Would you like to go in with the others?

[B]Ken:[/B] Ugh... okay... but I still don't know how to work this visor thing.

Only now did it become clear to everyone that Ken had a yellow bar across his eyes, with a red visor along his iris'. He did look a bit paculiar, but at the same time, really cool.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Don't worry, I'll explain on the way down. The rest of you, as I take the boys down to level B2, you will get off at B1 and wait for me... I shall take you all to the control room to watch the boys. You will all get a turn.

[Andrew]

[I]The elevator suddenly stopped with a slight bump. Everyone except Andrew, Craig, Ken, Seifer and Xavier got off. The doors closed with a slight click as they touched each other. Xavier sat and faced the four boys, it looked like he was going to say something.[/I]

[B]Xavier:[/B] My Danger room is a very dangerous place, hence the name. Although it may seem like the things you see aren?t real, it is quite the contrary. There are thousands of things within the room that could destroy all four of you, so be careful. I will be watching, just in case you need me to stop the programme I set. Are you all ready?

[I]The boys nodded all at the same time, Seifer nodding much quicker, while Andrew had to duck to nod. The elevator, again, stopped. The doors rushed opened and all that lay between the boys and the Danger Room was a long thin corridor. The four boys stepped out and looked in awe.[/I]

[B]Xavier:[/B] This is where I leave you, Good luck!

[I]The doors slammed closed and the elevator returned upstairs. Craig turned to facce the room with a grin. Seifer was way ahead of them all darting off to the door, the anxiety killing him. The two large doors separated. The boys were blinded temporarily by a white light but quickly recovered. They each stepped out into the unknown, the doors quietly closing behind them and locking. The room was huge. It was a totally circular room with what looked like a small command centre in the centre hanging from the ceiling. The boys looked around them surveying the room. Craig was the first to break the silence.[/I]

[B]Craig:[/B] Let?s get this show on the road!

[I]All four of them grinned and then Xavier?s voice came over a loud speaker from the command centre.[/I]

[B]Xavier:[/B] Are you ready to begin boys?

[I]This was what they had been waiting for. A chance to prove their mutant capabilities. Hell yeah they were ready...[/I]

[Schrat]

[i]As Xavier escourted the four "choosen" boys into this Danger room, Nick immediatly was annowed. he knew he could keep up with anyone in the school, but he knew he would have to wait. So he followed Xavier and the other students into the large box shaped elevator. As it lowered he looked around and gave sinister smiles to the four children that were entering this room. [/i]
[b]
Xavier: "Ok, level B1"[/b]

[i]The elevator stopped and the doors opened to a round room with electronic computer panals all along the sides. There were numerous large monitors floating above the panals, on them were video stream from what looked to be like a large metal wearhouse. The floor and walls were lined with metal sheets and gigantic doors were scatered among this room. Nick stepped out into the room and looked out through the glass windows, to the room he had seen on the video screen. He turned back to smile to Xavier, but the elevator door was shut, the four "choosen boys were on there way...[/i]

[Rei]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Amara flew into an old abandoned building within a deserted city and broke down a wall and saw a mutant standing infront of her in robes.[/i]

Amara: Trace?

Trace: Yes

Amara: I have a job for you.

Trace: I don't think so.

[i]Trace turned around and began to leave the building. Amara threw lightning bolts at his back. [/i]

Amara: Don't turn your back when on me! Your going to track down to people for me with this.

[i]Trace got back up and turned to Amara. She took out her neckless and threw it to him.[/i]

Amara: Trace down the last people to touch that besides me my parents.
[/COLOR]

[Pressure]

[color=purple][i]Adriana's hand twitched, and wih an icy glare, she bore down into Omi's back. In a few minutes, and with the help of a few cold wisps of wind on the back of his neck, Omi turned around.[/i]

Omi:Yes winter witch?

Adriana:I would be much obliged if you would retrct your previous statements about my outfit.

Omi:They stand as said, those shoes are completely useless, you would sooner break your ankle than go five feet, and the outfit will not guard your body from any attacks..

[i]Adriana grew angry, and her eyes began to glisten a silverish white. Sil put her hand on Adriana's shoulder, and Adriana's eyes returned to normal.[/i]

Sil:Relax Adriana, and you Omi, X-Men or not, you need mind your tone when speaking to a superior. Adriana is your elder and you are to treat her with respect, just as you would Professor Xavier or myself.

Adriana:And as for my X-Suit, it's stands as such. The boots, are lightweight and hollow, making them very easy to run in, bc in the event that I [i]do[/i] run, I can ruan with a spring in my step, a bounce if you will, that will propel me faster than if my shoes were heavy and solid. Anyways, I hardly ever run, for my mutant gift is manipulate weather, that includes wind, therefor, giving me the power of flight. My body suit is the hardest of leather, and will stop any metal object, pointed or blunt, that should hit me, no matter what velocity. In the event that I [i]am[/i] hit, bc I have a shield of snow that comes in very handy, and I am very fast in the air, I an take rough blows. There is a difference between looking delicate, and being delicate. Sil and I have battled many a times and have exchanged blows that would kill you instantly, it's how we harden our bodies to attacks. So keep your young mouth shut the next time you wish to speak ill of those above you.[/color]

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo][i]Darwin had found himself down on the main floor of the academy. Time had passed, and he still was not sure where the cafeteria was. The hallways were all nearly desolate. Only a few other mutants roamed them, and he could never seem to catch their attention in time. Half-way down a rather large hallway, a single 'dinging' sound reverberated throughout. Darwin whipped around looking down his walken path to see what is was. Elevator doors parted slowly; at first, no one stepped out, and no one entered. Just after that, a mutant of significant beauty passed through the threshold. At first, she did not notice Darwin as she peered down the hallway in the opposite direction. She walked with nothing to hide, flaunting what she had and what was easily noticable for she wore a skin-tight, black, leather body suit. It molded itself it every aspect of her body.

If Darwin was a lesser man his jaw would have surely dropped, but he maintained his composure. The fair dame continued to walk opposite of Darwin, so he was forced to speak.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Excuse me!

[i]Startled, the woman jumped slightly as she spun around. Her hair flailing out like a fan, and falling back into place. She was even more attractive from the front. At first, neither of them said anything. She was regrouping herself from the slight scare. Darwin just stared down the hall waiting for her to finish. Once he had her full attention, he spoke again.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Do you know where I could find the cafeteria? I am new here, and do not know my way around yet.

[i]She said nothing at first. She just looked at the man in far in front of her. She raised an eyebrow with a subtly flirtatious smile. She noticed that he was dressed in similar attire... She notice the hidden 'X' across his chestplate, and new he was one of Xavier's students, such as herself. She began to put the pieces together as who this man was. She began to walk towards him, at a slower pace than before, still with the same ostentatiousness, but now with a hint of curiosity.[/i]

[b]---:[/b] Is your name Darwin?

[i]At first, Darwin was shocked that she knew his name. His jaw dropped only slightly in wonder. Then he remembered that Xavier wrote that he had spoken to some of his students about him.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] Yes, I am Darwin. What name do you go by?

[i]The lady chuckled under her breath, now approaching with her curiousity now satiated.[/i]

[b]---:[/b] Just the guy I was looking for, Xavier told me to guide you as far as you need to be. My name is Sil.

[i]By now, Sil was standing directly in front of Darwin. She lifted one gloved finger and gently pushed up on his chin to close his jaw. Her demanding presence had force it open. Regaining thought, Darwin shook himself off and spoke again.[/i]

[b]Darwin:[/b] So... do you know where the cafeteria is?

[i]Sil smiled.[/i]

[b]Sil:[/b] Of course. Charles would not send me as your guide if I did not know where things were in here... This way.

[i]Sil turned with a wink. Darwin followed with a smile. He was beginning to develop a sense of belonging. He had one when he worked under Magneto, for the short time he did, but it just was not the same. This, now, felt more like a family...[/i][/color]

[DuoMax]

Omi pulled off his mask looked at Diego. "My power? Apparently I can become inmaterial and anything that I am in sustained ohysical contact with, human size or smaller, also becomes inmaterial, allowing me to walk through walls, etc. Unfortunately, I found this out as 30 Yakuza gunman slaughtered my family. If it hadn't been for this power of mine, I'd be dead."

As he said this, there was a flicker of emotion in his eyes, but his face returned to its normal stonieness imn a second.

[darkfreak0304]

Venna:Dam...Tought break. Oh well at least your alive..
Omi: Yah...
Venna: Imean if you were dead then who would live on to cherish your family?

[DuoMax]

"You mock my pain!! Have you ever watched your entire family, ENTIRE family, die in front of you???" His voice is filled with anger and grief. His voice cracks and tears begin to run down his cheeks as he collapses to the floor, sobbing.

[Orien_Xel]

Diego knelt next to Omi.
"Woah...Got ahold of yourself, man. I know its sad, but would your family really want you on the floor in a sobbing heap? Come on, get up! YOu have a life to live! DOn't give up on your life!!"

[darkfreak0304]

Venna sighed,
Venna: Ididn't mean it like that, i wasn't mocking you. I don't know what it's like to watch your family die, but I know what its like to lose yourfamily right before your eyes. Mine weren't killed, they tried to kill me, and because of that I've lost them and all trust i had in humanity

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue]*stares at the last two posts* Mmm, I could've sworn Yoda told you to go away, well, in much nicer words anyways. Even though I agree with him; your posts....to put it bluntly....are....not....that...good.
~~~~~~~~~~[/COLOR]
[COLOR=purple][i]Sil smiled and kept moving....enjoying this game of follow the leader...no matter how juvenille it was. When they reached the door, she turned around and looked at him.[/i]

Darwin: What?

Sil: I hope you don't mind crowded rooms.

Darwin: ....well...

[i]With a saucy grin and a swift kick, Sil banged both doors wide open. The room was completely empty. With the single student here and there.....he raised one eyebrow. This was going to be interesting.[/i]

Sil: And?

Darwin: You're a horrible tease.

Sil: Hey, it's not a pretty job, all the time, but somebody's gotta do it.

Darwin: All the time?

Sil: *chuckle* No, of course not. Hungry?[/COLOr]

[Yoda]

Craig stepped into the centre of the danger room... his eyes scanned the walls... the ceiling, the floor... all metal. Craig hoped this would somehow work to his advantage... maybe he could learn to pull himself towards them, or something along those lines. Andrew stood close to Craig, he was the least confident, not actually having any developed powers at the moment. Seifer stood at Craig's other side, head whizzing around, taking in the room. Ken stood back to back with Craig, hand pressed against the side of his visor.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Computer, initiate beginner training programme. Four people... Prepare yourselves boys.

Andrew, seemingly without will of his own, hunched forward, now leaning of all 4's. Seifer bent double, his chin inches from the floor, like a sprinter before a race. Craig stood tall, arms apread out, palms parallel with the floor, and Ken kneeled down, right hand pressed against the side of his visor.

4 small cubic sections in the wall opened, at quarter points from each other, and 4 giant metal wires, clawed at the ends, came towards the four boys.

[B]Xavier:[/B] They won't kill you boys, but they may hurt you a bit if you can't disable them.

Seifer was the first to act. He started running about in all directions, his designated claw finding it almost impossible to track his movements. Craig held out both hands towards his claw, and let his power push out, towards the claw. He kept his eyes open, trying to concentrate only on the claw... but it wasn't working. Every so often the claw would jolt a degree to the left or right, but it kept making steady pace towards Craig. Ken was also having trouble, he kepy having the urge to close his eyes when he was supposed to fire his beam... which would instantly stop the ray. Andrew had taken to acrobatically flipping around, and in one outstanding move, had backflipped onto the lerge metal wire as it swooped down to catch him. He was now trying to rip off the hard metal covering and explosing the wire inside.

Craig closed his eyes, and instantly he could see the claw reaching down for him. Concentrating, he opened his eyes, still focusing on the claw. Now, the claw seemed blatently clear infront of him, and everything else was a blur. He had it now. With a push from inside him, the claw was thrown with great force straight into the wall, crashing into two seperate pieces. Even Xavier was surprised at Craig's strength... he had hardly tried, and yet the claw had been thrown into the wall with such force that it snapped. Now, Craig was battle ready, and he turned around, preparing to help his friends.

[Schrat]

[i] Nick looked down through the glass window, as his four class-mates tried to dismatle the numerous gigantic computerized metal arms. He looked to the left and saw craig, Xavier's prized student, charge to help the other three boys, Nick wanted nothing more to be down there training with them, but he couldnt. He then looked back to the right, to find Xavier, sitting in his chair, smiling. Nick knew somehing was odd, how could his professor be so sure that nothing harm-ful would happen to these four young boys. Nick stepped back and looked up at the monitor, and then turned around to Adriana, Omi, and the other arguing students...[/i]

[b]"God, would all stop arguing about your past and friggen suits! Look at our classmates down there, fighting...training. You would rather be here bickering, I would give anything to be one of Xavier's choosen!"[/b]

[i] The students lowered their heads and steped forward. As the approached the windows they all looked down in astonishment to the Danger Room, knowing they would get there chance...[/i]
---

[b] Hopefully ill get my chance soon, maybe?[/b]:therock:

[COLOR=darkblue]Trace: I have found the people you've asked, Now you will pay me.

Amara: Where are they?

Trace: In Texas.

Amara: Texas

Trace: Where is my payment?

Amara: Here it is.

[I]Amara threw lightning bolts from her hand and Trace flew threw a wall from the impact with multiple burn wounds. Amara then flew of to Texas.[/I] [/COLOR]

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer was too quick, the arm could not keep up with the speed and agility of Seifer. Seifer grinned, he knew that he could beat this arm easily if he used the technique he had been working on. The arm took one lucky swing at Seifer, nearly cutting the side of his left arm. It was now time. Seifer started to run circles around the arm forming a little hurricane. The arm was torn from the wires and lifted up in the draft. Spark flying everywhere within the hurricane's eye. The other pupils gazed at it, they have never seen Seifer use this move before and so they were amazed at his capabilities. The arm which was now been totally destroyed crashed down to the ground. Seifer spung of into the wall, as he has not yet completely mastered the techique.

[Orien_Xel]

Diego had turned up in the command center and was watching as his fellow students zipped around the room, disabling divices, etc..
"God, I wish I could be down there..."

[DuoMax]

Omi had recovered his composure and smiled grimly. "Im sorry Its just that my entire life I have been told to conceal my emotions, I really never have had a chance to vent." He turned to Nick with a cold gleam in his eye. "nd you get off my back. None but the good Professor over there wil give me orders. You got that??"
