"It is good to see you," Xavier said and wheeled down the hallway towards the main library. He offered Remy a drink. There were no hard feelings on his end. As much as Xavier would like to have everybody follow his lead, he knew that everybody had their own ideals and their own lives.
"The team is doing well. We have many new students coming into the school," He offered the cajun a seat as well, "Although, I am sure you are asking more about Rogue... she is doing well. At the moment, she should be sleeping up in her room but I am pretty sure she's left with a team of the younger X-Men."
Xavier poured himself a drink, "What have you been doing these days, Remy?"

"Wow," Porter said when Jamie finally conjured up the illusion. It was no joke, that kid had great potential. Blair's attention was on Venom but he had to get it back. He pulled himself up off the ground after taking a few more t/k hits.
"Pharoah, Blair... what's your mother doing here?" He yelled through the sounds of clashing and calamity on the field. He picked up one of the rocks that Venom had used before and knocked it towards Blair not wanting to shoot at him again. Jamie's efforts couldn't be wasted.

Travelling through the night, Ahab's transport made it just five miles short of the kind of shelter that would have kept him safe indefinitely, no matter how much heat his Hounds caused. Unfortunately for him, his trip was stopped about five miles short of his goal.
The two soldiers driving the truck lunged forward a bit, bumping their heads against the front panel of the vehicle as it came to a sudden and inexplicable stop. They instinctively reached for the doors, but it wasn't necessary. The framework of the truck was ripped violently from the floor, completely exposing Ahab and his escort to the world. Once again, the soldiers grabbed their guns out of instinct, but valor soon turned to fear as they looked upward. They had been well briefed on this mutant, and they knew that this was not some child that would fold in the face of a gun.
"Normally when humans tremble in fear in front of me, I remind them that I am not a heartless killer, and that an advanced species like myself has better things to do than to concern myself with beings so insignificant," hissed the Master of Magnetism, no small amount of contempt within his voice. "However, when an animal becomes aggressive to your kind, you are quick to put them down. So consider this an act of euthanasia."
With that, the soldiers were helpless to prevent the guns from behing turned onto themselves. One of them began to beg. "Please dear god... I've got kids..."
The four simultaneous gun blasts could be heard for miles around. Magneto scoffed. "They're better off without you," he stated as he floated over to Ahab. The formerly arrogant military agent shook in fear as wiring from the car ensnared him like a dozen electrified snakes, and held him steady, a gentle electromagnetic charge ensuring that it was a less than pleasant experience.
"Consider yourself lucky you have information that is useful to me,' spat Magneto. "And don't insult either of us by claiming you won't talk. I think we both know are about to have very little say in how these next, and last days of your life will play out without cooperation."
Ahab merely stammered in fear and pain as he was lifted up within his electromagnetic netting, headed back to Magneto's latest dwelling.

While the battle had erupted, Raze was just getting settled into his room. Of course, that was before the sounds of gunfire, shouting, and other rather loud noises started.
He took one peek out of his window to see a heated skirmish between about a dozen people. Three of them seemed to be trying to kill the others. And that's when the snow started.
"That it. I'm out of here," he mumbled to himself, heading quickly for the door. He arrived on the ground floor and was greeted by the sight of a tree sticking through the wall.
Oh yeah. Definitely out of here, he thought to himself, opening the front door, and being treated to about six inches of snow. "Well, s**t," Raze said. He looked around, and figuring it probably wouldn't make a difference now, took off his gloves and special boots. In an instant, his lower arms and legs had burst into flames. He proceeded to march out through the flurry, a cloud of water vapour rising around him as he melted his way through the snow.

Noko reached into her purse and searched. She had always managed to keep a few on hand just in case pietro ever needed one. " Aha!" she announced as she leaned back into the jeep and shoved a chocolate covered expresso bean in pietros mouth. That should be enough caffine to keep him awake till the coffee house. " Alright lets go. And lets not forget pietro. I Zapped wanda last. " she said giving him a stern look. " No screwing around or youll end up a female pig. " she said before starting the jeep and heading off carefully twords the coffee house.

Wanda grinned. "Female pig? I don't think Freya told me I could do that with my hex powers. But it's worth a try. I'll hold him and you do your trick." She was still wondering how she could be so calm and then it hit her: self-control. Freya did so much to tease her about Pietro that Wanda was now able to stand not far from her brother without wishing his death every five seconds.
That girl is much more intelligent than anyone can think. That makes her dangerous. I'm glad to have her as my mentor.
Speaking of the mentor, she was tired of being ignored. "Alright, people. If you want SO badly fight your own without my help, that's fine with me. I'll go wait outside to see who will bleed the most."
Freya went back into the elevator, got to the main floor and walked out of the hotel. She muttered to anyone who cares that she had more important business to attend than awaiting for someone to answer her jokes. When she saw the snow outside, she rolled her eyes up to the sky. "Whoever is doing this is better stop because I'm not in the mood to be in a early winter. Where I come from, we're in winter at least 6 months a year!"

Pietro munched on the bean, and couldn't help to perk up a bit. It wasn't his fault. Pietro simply had too high a metabolism to dwell on angst for too long. He hopped into the front seat before Wanda had a chance to get out.
"Wanda my dear, it's obvious you hate my a**, and goddamnit, I deserve it," he began with a level of familiarity as if he and Wanda hadn't been separated for the better part of a decade. "But I'm gonna turn over a new leaf. Just ask Noko, she knows that I can be a d**k, but I also accomplish what I set my mind to. And I'm gonna set my mind to making things right with you, and I'll start by paying for coffee. Hell, get a bisotti too. Today is a day of celebration!" he exclaimed.

"So how is she?" Remy took a sip of his drink and winced. He then washed down the bitter alcohol with the tw ice cubes within the small drinking cup.

The building company John was headed to was about a thrity minute walk from the house. Just enough time to get hiim even more pisse off about what they'd done. Soon it was the school incident all over again. Each car that passed John exploded into flames. Most of the drivers were able to jump out of their car before any real damage was done to them, but others weren't so lucky.
When John reached the placed he kicked the door open. The clerk at the desk took one look at him and started shaking in his pants. "Where's that boss of your's? I want to speak to him. NOW!!!" The clerk gave a small jump, and then watched through the window in horror, as a truck that passed them by exploded into flames. "He's- he's- he's in the-the office sssir go-go-go right ahead and see him," the clerk stuttered as he pointed to the side door. "Why thank you," John replied.
John kicked the manger's door in. "We need to talk," John said in an angry voice," I gave you three times the normal amount to fix up my house, and you barley even patched it up. You better have a good reason. "Well of course I didn't fix that house," the guy replied, "You never told me that the house was full of freaks. But the second I saw that frog lookin' freak I new it wasn't no normal house. and we don't work for mutants."
John looked at the guy. "Well that's just too bad for you. Because you've been paid in full, so now you're going to finsh the job....Or else" John took out his lighter, and sparked it. He took the small ball of fire and set it on the guys desk. Using his powers, it only took a few seconds before the guys desk was on fire. The guy jumped back in surprise. "I expect your men to be at my house in an hour, to finish the job they started. And I want it in perfect condition. Or else this whole building will be on fire. You got it?" The man just nodded his head. "Good, oh and I'll be taking your car, since I don't have a ride home," John said as he took the mans keys.
"Being the nice man that I am, I'll leave you the rest of you desk." Using his powers he focused the fire so that it was in one spot on the desk, and the recreated the fireball that he'd started with, but now it was much bigger. He looked at the desk, which now looked like it would fall apart at the drop of a feather, and then left with the fireball in his hand.
When he got outside he tossed the fireball over his shoulder, not caring about the fact that he hit somebody's car, jumped into his new car, and took off for the brotherhood mansion.

"So quick to draw your sword, Ms. Chayse," Rage said as he rushed in to attack. With a hefty swing, Penance leveled her sword at Jacen's head, to which he ducked. In response, he hit her hard with a right hook to the abdomen. True to his form, he was fighting with his bare hands. After taking a step back, Penance again swung hard, this time hitting Jacen in the chest. Luckily for him, he still had his chest plate on.
"Nice...you actually left a gouge!," Rage said as he threw a wild punch that missed. Almost immediately, he felt a sharp shoulder thrust into his ribs. Out of reflex, he dropped his elbow hard into Penance's back, knocking her to a knee.
"....You aren't holding anything back it seems....," Rage said as he circled his prey,
"Maybe I shouldn't as well......but it shall be time that determines that. Now stand to your feet!!!"
He waited not but a split second, and he found himself on the defensive. There were a few slices of Penance's sword that actually connected, mainly on his arm, but they were nothing more than superficial. He stepped back for a second to regain his composure, but he was not allowed that luxury. He had a sword pointed straight at his abdomen.
Rage snarled in fury being at her mercy like this. Again, she may not have realized that he still had his chestplate on. Feeling a great upwelling of energy within himself, he smacked the sword to the side, again cutting his arm, and hit Penance as hard as he could in the face. As she reeled back, he ducked down and swept her ankles out from under her. Instantly, he sprang to his feet and went to go kick her while she was down, but out of the blue, he felt an intense pain in his head.
He stepped back, wincing. He could hear that same voice in his head again. It was that woman. "Get....out....of....my......head!!!!," Rage screamed as his energy wells grew ever more bountiful. Of course, the request was denied, and Rage felt as if his head were to explode. And almost as quick as it came, it was gone. Still rather juiced up, Rage looked to his opponent who was now standing. The cracked bone in Penance's face was most assuredly healed by now. If not while she was still on the ground. As he stood there, he looked around to see how the rest of his charges were faring. Rather well from his estimation. After a second, he looked straight at Penance as she again readied her sword for battle.
"Very well then," Rage said as he unlatched the shoulder clips and let his chestplate fall into his hands, "I see this is not the time to hold back." With a flip of his wrist, he effortlessly tossed the armor to the ground and let loose his energy blade. "...Not the time to hold back at all....."
While he waited for her to make the first move, he could feel a dull ache in the back of his skull.....

After seeing his mother with her reassuring words, Blair woke up inside the mind of Pharoah in control of his body. The battle for the control of the battle began. Blair began fighting and screaming inside the mind about how horrible he was for letting her die again and letting her death be in vain.
"Look at what I'm doing! Attacking mutants, the very thing my mother would have hated!!"
Pharoah's eyes stopped glowing purple and he began to weep. Suddenly, his eyes shown dark purple again and he stood up, the form implanted by Ahab back in control.
"You're right, Blair. Scorcher deserves to die first..."
No! Not die at all! He will be punished for his crimes. It is not our job! Actually, it isn't your job to do anything at all! Get out of my head!!
Pharoah, still in control of the body, began to use telekinesis to fling people, objects, and weapons back and forth at each other across the backyard; not focusing on one target.
"I'll get you, Scorcher! I'll get you for this!!"
At that point, a rock bashed him in the back of the head. His vision blurred and he thought there was a blizzard going on around him somewhere.
"Stop with the tricks, Scorcher! Come out and fight me!"
He's gone mad! Not under his Master's control and feeling the emotions....of...me? For my mother? Great! I'll just force more on him and make him break down altogether!!
Pharoah's mind was losing control with reality and the almost blindness wasn't helping either. His telekinesis was sparatic and he wasn't doing much damage to anyone, just flinging them from one side to the next with brush and trees being tossed as well. After all of the fighting today, the flight, and the massive output of using his telekinetic powers, Pharoah suddenly collapsed on the ground, obviously tired out.
A second "Pharoah" emerged from the body, his astral form, next to the body, standing upright.
"Thank you....whoever it was that made that apparition of my mother. As painful as it was for me, it helped me conquer the mindset that was Pharoah. He is mostly purged from this body but I need someone to sedate me....I can't have me..err..us...him..whatever, wake up too soon. I will remove him completely as I sleep. I'm the keeper of this body and I'm the one in control now."
Blair looked down at himself and smiled. He winked at the crowd in general and went back into his body.

Jamie stood for a moment, swaying back and forth, and then he stumbled back before regaining his footing. He pulled out a small pistol loaded with sedatives, and hit Blair with a shot from it. "Uh, Fear? Is there anyone else who needs. . . help?" Jamie asked slowly.

"Jame, how are you feeling?" Porter said and ran over to both him and the fallen Blair. Jamie put the gun away looking a little shaky but definately looking like he had better control over his powers.
"I'm fine," He answered.
"Okay, I think Venom is next. Regina and the others have a handle on Frost," Porter looked around and didn't seen Penny and Rage in clear sight, "And Penny... is being Penny I suppose. Her file says she hates her father with a passion. Do you remember his image enough?"
Porter picked Blair up from the ground and put him over his shoulder, "I'll be back to give you guys cover. I want to get him out of here first."

Frost continued with her storm, though she was a tad annoyed with yet another fire bug. She heard the blond shout about how it was snowing.
"Well... it's just my thing." she said with a smile, directing a fast flurry at the woman who thought she was leaving the party. "And you're not ignored, I'm aiming for everyone. Except my team..."
She felt a small pang of anger at having lost Pharoh for now. Ahab was right, she needed a king and they had taken him from her.
"Come on Gen, snap out of it. You're not a frost queen, you made a friend, remember???" Regina shouted, remembering her roommate. They had connected fairly well. "I need an image of Alanna!!!"
