Posts will return from this mortal sometime tomorrow. But for now... I'm sick, and I've got lots of homework to do sad

"Nice moves, new guy," Penny ignored her now bleeding hand and slammed it into the cybernetic head of one of the robots. And now they were done with the mission. She slammed her hand onto the wall, "Tag, you're it!"
She looked up at the control room as the simulation disolved; however, her bloody hand print was still on the wall.
"Talk about dramatics," Kitty said.
Penny shrugged, "That's me."
"Nice work, team, you're dismissed. Head to the infirmary to get your cuts and bruises mended," Ororo said over the speaker and shut out the lights.
Penny looked at her hand and wiped it on her legs. She looked at her hands, "Gloves, I need gloves."
Ororo caught up with her tailing behind the younger mutants, "You're good with some of them. Do you plan on staying around after graduation?"
"Gotta few months to think about that," Penny said, "Somebody has to look out for them. Once people find out they're mutants nobody else is going to give a damn about them."
She was as old as Kitty when her family really turned their back on her. For years she pretended it didn't matter, but it really did. Behind the black leather and eyeliner, Ororo knew that Penny had a heart of gold even if the girl would never admit it.
"Professor Xavier has authorized you to start training with your swords. You have shown over the past few months that you do not need to rely on them."
Penny looked at her hand again, "You think?"

Jacen smiled slightly when Wanda recognized him standing there. That was a good thing, he thought, having at least one friendly face here. Not that Pyro wasn't friendly with Jacen, he didn't have a reason not to be. It was just Jacen sometimes got too overloaded with energy when John would fly off of the handle. He didn't say anything though when she acknowledged his presence, preferring to listen to the conversation she was having with the cloaked figure that accompanied her.
All of a sudden, a storm hit. Wanda had saw her brother and flew immediately into a fit of rage. "COME BACK HERE YOU BIG COWARD!!!," she had yelled as she started to make random vehicles fly into the air and back down to the earth with frightening velocity.
"I knew it would end up like this," the cloaked figure had said while standing next to Jacen. Now, Jacen was all for wanton destruction, but this, considering all of the recent events, seemed a little egregious.
"End up like this?," Jacen repeated, "End up with another scene of chaos? End up with all of us being flat out exposed as mutants?" What Pietro said to him not but a few minutes prior to this display had struck a chord in him. He was sent here to be clandestine. Not overt. Suddenly, Jacen heard a nearby explosion, and looked slightly to his right to see a piece of shrapnel flying directly to where the hooded figure stood. Without a second thought, Jacen powered himself up and caught the piece of debris only a few inches away from the cloaked being's face. While all of this was happening, every ounce of hate, every ounce of anger that Wanda was exuding was leeching straight into Jacen's core. He didn't know what to do. He knew that Wanda had an extremely profound disdain for her brother, but this was off the scale. Feeling sick, Jacen's posture stooped a bit. "This needs to stop," he had said quietly.
"But why, young Scion?," the cloaked figure asked absently.
How in the seven hells do you know my name?, was his first thought but he could only formulate one sentence: "If this goes any further, I'm going to absorb too much hatred...I'll be consumed in an infinite rage, myself...." Again, feeling a bit weak, Jacen stooped a bit lower as Wanda raged on, doing anything to try and harm her brother. Allthewhile, the hooded figure laughed and laughed.
Feeling his own rage swell up immensely, for what reason he did not know. Maybe it was the fact that the cloaked figure was laughing so heartily at this display of sibling hatred. Or maybe it was because of Wanda's own negative feelings. Either way, Jacen shot a look at the person standing next to him, one of extreme disgust. I have to make her stop, he thought as he tried his hardest to stand up straight.
Barely raising his shoulders, he looked over at Pyro and his lady friend just watching this display. He knew that John would have gotten a kick out of this if his friend wasn't standing somewhat in the line of fire. With a careful step, Jacen lurched forward towards Wanda with the intent to try and end this for now.
"Wanda...," Jacen said uncharacteristically meekly, "You've got to stop this now...." She ignored him, continuing her destructive excersize. "Wanda!," he yelled, his voice barely croaked free from his throat. Again, she ignored him. Then in a moment of rashness, Jacen knew what he had to do, although he feared what may happen to him. He knew that with Wanda mad and with what he had in mind, she might just as well lash out at him.
"Wanda!!," Jacen yelled as he snatched her up in a massive bearhug from behind, pinning her arms to her sides, "Enough of this foolishness!! If you don't settle down I'm going to overload on energy and I don't want to lose control! Not now....not ever...."
He hoped his words reached her ears, cause if not he was going to get more and more sick until the very fabric of his mind would snap and he would be beyond any normal reproach. It had happened once...and only once before. And Jacen was determined not to let it happen again. He had his mind repaired once, by Emma Frost. She wasn't exactly kind when she did that either, and he was damned if he was going to let that snotty b***h get into his head again. Quietly while he stood there with Wanda struggling in his arms and cursing loudly all he could muster out was a semi-quiet, "Please...."

"Nice work in there, J," Penny put her clean hand on Jamie's shoulder. He just finished receiving a band-aid from a medical student for a cut on his arm, "You can probably do some useful s**t with those illusions of yours. Imagine making a King Kong crawl up the Empire State Building. That would so rock."
"And what purpose would that serve," Hank McCoy (who daylighted as a teacher at Bayville High) looked over his glasses and looked at Penny's hand, "You'll heal. Dr. Wyle, bandage her hand."
The little blonde girl shuffled over with a bandage. Xavier opened up their Infimary to train mutants who wanted to specialize in mutant physiology. Needless to say, Penny felt like a lab experiment at times.
"It wouldn't serve any purpose but to be the coolest thing I've seen in New York."

Jamie smiled. "That would be awesome. . ." He said, trailing off. He closed his eyes for a second, and made a quick little picture of the empire state with king kong on it appear. He then had godzilla jump up and pull king kong off. "I should try that sometime." He said with a smile.

((Hello. I'm gonna try a post here but if it doesn't fit, then tell me and I'll fix it...))
Inside her new bedroom in the back corner of the apartment her mother and her were renting, Sierra worked on unpacking her clothes. She sighed as she shoved a bunch of things in one drawer before going on to the next. Once she was done with the box she was working on she stood up and stretched, glancing out the window with a yawn. She saw a couple people standing around outside on the sidewalk across the street and felt a strong surge of anger from at least one of them.
"Crap, there goes my entire day," she muttered, kicking aside the box. She closed her eyes, willing herself to ignore the anger she was sensing, but it didn't exactly go away. Grumbling to herself, she opend her eyes again and stomped out of her bedroom and towards the back door of the apartment. She threw it open with a bang and marched out onto the mini porch, stopping suddenly in stunned silence as she saw two burning cars and an inferno that she was quite sure used to be a gas station.
As she stared the two cars suddenly rose up into the air only to slam down on someone who had been standing there seconds before. Pieces of shrapnel from the cars went flying everywhere, a piece of the metal frame from one of them embedded itself in the wall near where sierra was standing. She looked at it, then back at the people across the street, a headache now hammering against her skull.
"Oh this totally sucks. I just move in and already my apartment is gonna get trashed."
Deciding she'd better get out of the range of fire, she jumped onto the neighbor's porch just in time to see the neighbor's barbecue grill go flying off somewhere. When it finally crashed back down to earth it exploded like the cars and the pieces went flying everywhere. She ducked to avoid the ones coming her way and saw that a dozen or more peices had flown towards thegroup on the opposite sidewalk. One of them caught a peice, keeping it from hitting some girl in a hooded cloak.
"Damn it, why did we have to move here."
Sierra grumbled to herself the injustices of moving as she stood back up. They hadn't noticed her yet and she wondered if this was a good thing and maybe she should have avoided coming within ten feet of anyone who could make cars and barbecues fly around and explode. That's when another wave of pent up emotion smacked her in the face and she fell over backwards, cursing at herself for ever having gone outside.
She blinked, her head hurting worse now as she looked around for the source of the anger while simultaneously trying to purge it from her own system because if her head kept hurting she felt sure she was going to pass out.

OOC: I think your opening post sounds good. Welcome to the game smile
IC:
Penny saw a somewhat evil grin pass over Jamie's face. The thought really did sound interesting enough. When they were all dismissed from the Infirmary, she half thought about taking Jamie for a joyride to NYC to see if they really could pull something off like that. Then, of course, she had to think of the mass hysteria that it might cause. That probably would be bound to get all mutants kicked out of the state and her out of school.
"We'll have to keep that trick in mind for a rainy day," she winked at Jamie as they left, "Or we could go create godzilla in the pool. I hear Scotty boy's taking a swim."
"You're so bad," Kitty said in passing.
Penny shook her head, "Just looking for a good time. If it comes at pretty boy's expense, all the better."

OOC: Just a word about the cloaked figure: she's not insane. wink Right now, it's true that you don't know her identity and you will all be surprise to know who she is but be careful when you use her. smile
IC: "Oops I let this go too far," said the girl under her hood. She looked at Jacen and grinned some. But he seems to be in control of the situation. Let's see how she'll react...
Wanda growled. "Let go!!! LET ME GO!!!!" But Jacen was holding her firmly and had no intention to let her go. She kept struggling until the hooded figure came to her and put a hand on her forehead. "You heard him... If you don't calm down, he will lose control. Because of you. You don't want to be like your father do you?"
Wanda cried out a negative answer then slowly she started to calm down. The fact she wasn't seeing her brother anywhere helped her. She took long and big breaths Her hate was still there but more under control.
"I'm alright now... You can let go Jacen," finally said Wanda after a few minutes.

"I with her on this one," Morgan says, joining the conversation. "Screwing with people is oh-so-much fun," he adds, smirking slightly. He was balancing a pair of dice that he kept with him on the tip of his finger, then quickly removed his hand and caught the dice in midair, putting them into his pocket.

"Well then its settle, those of us looking to do something mischevious, to the bat cave," She pointed down the hallway, "Well, at least the swimming pool."
Morgan pulled some keys out of a case on the wall. It let them onto the upper deck of the pool house. Sure enough, Scott was doing laps.
"Jamie, you need a can of red bull or something to help get your energy up?"

ooc: Bleh, stupid father with his stupid no internet >.<
He watched for a few more moments before jumping off of the other side of the wall, inside the grounds of the institute, and started to head towards the house. His coat was thrown over one shoulder and if anyone looked properly they would easily see his golden wings.
"Let's just hope that the rumors were true, otherwise I reckon I'm going to be in a lot of trouble. Breaking and entering, being a mutant. I'll probably be sleeping with the fishies tonight."
As if to prove a point two golden fish, about 3 foot long each and half that tall, started to swim around him. It didn't take much effort, ecspecially with the sun out, and he was bored.
He walked up to the door and knocked on the door, raising his voice to an almost shout in the hopes of being heard.
"Hello?"

OOC: Ah, I see. Sorry about the confusion then. I don't like writing short posts so I tend to use the characters around me to do non important things (or attempt to have them do things but not being out of character) to push the story along.
IC:
"You're sure there are no cameras or anything in here?" Jamie looked around. Penny thought that he might be a bit unsure about playing their prank, but she knew it was harmless fun. A seasoned veteran like Summers would know that it was an illusion before going ballistic with his powers.
"Positive," Penny took another glance around but she really wasn't positive. The Institute was rigged with a lot of devices that she didn't know about.
Jamie started to work his little illusion voodoo into the pool. The illusion started behind Scott so he wouldn't see it until he flipped at the end of his lap. There was a big green lizard lurnking at the bottom of the pool.
"It's Nessie, that's awesome!" Penny grinned waiting for Scott to come back around to see it. She could visibly see that Jamie was getting tired from the energy drain. He sat back and let the illusion start working for itself, "And you made it swim."
"Uh oh," Kitty suddenly said. She must have been trailing them to see what they were going to do. She put her finger to her mouth for them to hush and pointed to Wolverine coming into the pool room. Of course he made some explaination that they didn't hear and dove intot he pool with his claws popped out.
They knew that he'd definately realize it was an illusion as soon as he dove in. They helped Jamie up and left the pool room as quietly and quickly as possible. They could hear shouts coming from Summers and Logan as they tore at the illusion and once again when they realized it was an illusion.
