Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Okies, just checkin'.}

"Well done, man. I really have to hand it to you. It's really too bad it's so evenly lit in here. I'd love to scare the crap out of someone in my own way," Morgan says, grinning mischeviously.

"Oh today is just the beginning of our fun," Penny said. Maybe the year at the Institute wasn't going to be bad after all. She always had the idea that everybody was going to be a goody goody.

"Morgan, what is it that you do? I'm not familiar with your abilities... it might come in handy for future pranks and micheif," Penny was already strategizing something in her head for future use.

ooc: well now that mom is back home from the hospital and semi ok ill be on and be able to post more crying ; but later tonight..tired..

"Yeah," Vincent replied, his left hand not glowing now, "You're in the right place."

Vincent looked the boy up and down. There was no doubt that he was a mutant as well. The wings were sort of a tip off. The boy still didn't look very happy, and Vincent suspected that was partly his fault. There was only one thing he could do now.

"Welcome to Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters," Vincent said, offering the boy his hand, "I'm Vincent. Sorry about earlier today."

He takes Vincents hand and shakes it, shrugging slightly.
"I'm sure you had good reason for it, the name's Matt." He nodded and waved at the people he saw behind Vince, feeling more than slightly out of place. "And thanks, thought I'd made a big mistake just now and would have to skip town or something." He grinned slightly and shifted his wrings, used to the pain it gave him as he did so, and pulled the leather coat back on. It was useful at times but deffinetly irritating.

Jacen was still holding Wanda in a bearhug when he heard her say he could let go. He wanted to, he really did, but his mind he feeling his mind fray as so much nylon rope. Thats what concerned him the most right now. "Let go, Jacen," he heard Wanda say sternly.

"Oh...," he said quietly before letting her go from his clutches. When he let her go, he felt a pain in his hand as it brushed her coat. Looking at the palm of his hand, he noticed a gash that was slowly oozing blood. Still with his voice barely above a whisper, he said, "Sorry if I got blood on your coat, Wanda....."

Jacen knew everyone was around him. He knew that Pyro, Wanda, and Pietro were on his side of this fight, but there was a voice echoing, screaming in the back of his mind. "Kill them all. You know you can take out Pietro easily. The only way he beat you was with help from his sister. They are all weak. You are the strongest aside from your lord."

Shut up, thought Jacen as he stood there, straightening his posture. Still he had all of the energy syphoned from the day pent up inside of him, begging to be released. The hatred that Wanda exuded, he could taste it in the back of his throat. The anger that he leeched from the students at the school, he could feel coursing through his veins as if it were his own blood. I need release....., thought Jacen as he motioned at everyone to stand away from him.

When everyone was away from him, Jacen took a few precautionary steps into the middle of road and looked straight upwards. Nothing but darkening skies almost as if it was about to storm. With a shallow grunt, Jacen powered himself up, looking to expend his reserves of energy. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could safely smash and tear to bits. All of the vehicles were on fire, plus the wound on his hand prevented him from making a tightly closed fist. This is my only chance.....

Without warning, Jacen reached his hand skyward and let loose a horrific blast of pure black energy. A blast of pure hatred. He could see everyone around him get a worrisome look in there eyes as he held the energy pillar skyward for what seemed to be an eternity. Actually it was only three minutes. As fast at it had exploded, the pillar of dark energy dissipated and Jacen let his arm fall lazily to his side.

"Ok....," Jacen said inbetween huge gulps of air. The expending of the negative energy took the breath from his lungs, "I'm good....."

Still everyone was wary to be around him it seemed. That was logical considering he nearly descended back into madness. Of course the only people that had known of his brief period of insanity were Wanda, Pietro, Ms. Frost, Magneto, and himself. To himself, he resolved to learn the limits to how much energy to take in as he looked at the group of mutants around him.

"Alright everyone....," Jacen said, taking charge of the group of Brotherhood mutants that were just standing there. "That was a stupid call on my part. We're going to have company sooner now with that display. We need to leave before we attract any unwanted attention...." Jacen was surveying the scene as he talked. As he looked up, he saw a girl about his age, maybe a year older looking down on them all. He knew she was looking right at him too. All he could do was smile slightly. "Come on, everyone. Lets go." Without another word, Jacen started to walk the way he saw Wanda approach the group, confident he'd find his way back to the Brotherhood house.

"Nice to meet you," Morgan says, smiling. "Name's Morgan. Welcome to the Institute," he adds, extending his hand.

Jamie's eye's slid into focus as he looked at Matt. "Yo." He said drearily. "Sorry about my. . . lack of energy, but I'm feeling a bit out of it. My name's Jamie." He paused and looked at the coat Matt was wearing. "You know. . . you can take that off if you want."
