Cassandra Song Diaz
but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker 
Cassie narrowed her eyes at Dean, a small crease forming between her eyebrows as she finished mopping up the spilled beer and some blood that must have dripped from Dean's hand. She glanced up at Felicia when she asked about the bandages, "Closest stash is in the bathroom down the hall second door on the left. There's gauze and a first aid kit there under the sink. I want to finish up cleaning the glass off the floor and you're barefoot, if you can be a dear and get the gauze and first aid kit, I'll have everything cleaned up in a flash."
She smiled her radiant smile, a too perfect smile- almost as if she really didn't mean it. "Be careful as you leave. I don't want to have you have to clean up your feet if they get cut."
Before Felicia left, Cassie already had approached Dean. She didn't wait to see if the fox-girl left when she hissed, "Bad memories aside, you have to keep sharp- you're the leader of the X-men. People depend on you." She stepped away and muttered, "I depend on you. If I don't have the X-men, I'd be seriously messed up by now, or more so than I already am. I'd have been Brotherhood by now, probably..." She glanced up and frowned, her green eyes narrowed. She was ultimately a selfish person, and she had joined the X-men to keep herself on the straight and narrow, because when she used her power- especially for bad or to hurt people or to manipulate people- she hated the guilt trip that would last years that went with it.

Alexander William Diaz
a.k.a. Warp 
Blink was standing in the kitchen, arms crossed, when Shadow Walker walked past. She had heard the girl's rant about being committed and what not to the cause of the Brotherhood. It wasn't that Blink didn't want equality for all, or even was bothered by radical methods to achieve it, the problem is that once the homo-superiors came to power they would want revenge. It would make them just as bad as the homosapiens. She nodded numbly as Shadow Walker thanked her for the breakfast. Waiting till the door closed to the apartment she heard Warp walk into the kitchen. "You think I'm wrong," she said, a statement not a question. "And so does she." Warp was about to say something when Blink added, "I'll go find her. She probably shouldn't wonder Genosha alone. She might get lost." In an instant, Blink disappeared.
Warp muttered a few curses under his breath before leaning against the counter and muttered with a low laugh, "God, I sure know how to clear out a place."
A mere two minutes later, Blink appeared beside Shadow Walker in front of Amp's cell/apartment. "Always the last place you look," Blink joked, "What you are looking for, I mean. Of course, it would be, because you have to be stupid to keep looking for something once you found it."
She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, "So, Shadow Walker, right? Why are you in front of Amp's door? I mean the kid is cute but he's all gaga over Warp's little sister. Amp, unlike Warp, doesn't go for those who have physical mutations from what I can tell. He didn't really date much when he got here... but whatever." She shrugged, "I won't stop you if you want to see him- in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he realizes you are here already- he can sense homo-superiors and tell what their powers are even through closed doors- but I'm not going to help you get in, either. You're a teleporter: it's not that hard to get wherever you want. Forget the path of travel, just focus on the ultimate destination and your starting point, instinct tends to fill in everything else. Or that is how it works for me."
She shrugged before leaning down and pecking the girl on the cheek, "Go ahead and visit him if you want. Just don't wonder anywhere else but here and Warp's apartment. Genosha is surprisingly big and I would hate for a cutie like you to get lost." Pausing she held out a cell phone before disappearing, "Oh, this is an extra phone. It has mine and Warp's numbers if you want to reach us. Ta-ta!" With that and a small snap, Blink disappeared, returning to wherever it was that she really wanted to be- in the current situation alone in her bedroom for some long needed rest.

Felicia did not waist time when Cassie told her where to find the first aid kit.
Quickly and carefully she went to the bathroom she spoke of and found the first aid kit. Then started heading back, her foot steps could be heard when she drew near.

Dean Nixon
a.k.a. Myth  Dean leaned on the sink and stared at Cassandra. Was she lecturing him? Telling him what he needs to do? Right now? " You think I don't know that?!" Dean snapped at her. Doesn't she realize that he knows all of that?" I know who I am and what I need to do. I know about my responsibility. I know people depend on me. I know you will fall apart if I don't keep this team together. I know all of that!" Dean tried to calm down. He shouldn't take it all out on Cassandra. She was right despite the fact that he already knew all of it. His gaze fell upon the shards in the sink. "My parents died because of me. My mother died in my arms because she gave birth to a mutant. To me. I am struggling between my hatred for those anti mutant extremists and my mother's promise! If I had a hand in it, they would already been killed. So forgive me if I sometimes get lost in thought" Shortly after he said that he heard Felicia's footsteps. Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself. She was new here and the last thing she needs is knowing that one of leaders of this place is unstable. She needs stability and security. Staying mad like this wouldn't help her one bit.

but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker
“Good,” Cassie said to Dean’s outburst. “I’m glad you understand that.” Lowering her voice as Felicia approached she added, “Because, without the X-men, I would survive. I would make do. Maybe I wouldn’t be the happiest, but I would make out alright physically because of the nature of my power. She isn’t like me. Most mutants aren’t.”
Raising an eyebrow she smiled her too innocent and bright smile, as if she hadn’t dared lecture a teacher, as if he hadn’t just confessed to wanting to kill anti mutant extremists which was the opposite of X-men philosophy, and she hadn’t been snapped at. She seemed like the typical bubbly, if not somewhat shallow, teenager she portrayed usually. Cassie didn’t allow herself to get upset or angry about things, or tried not to, unless it served some sort of purpose.
She peaked her head around the corner spotting Felicia, “Felicia, darling, it is safe to come to the kitchen, or I hope so. At least I think I got all the glass cleaned up. If you are still worried you can borrow a pair of my shoes, if you are the same size as me- but I have really small feet-, or at least a pair of slippers. After all, I know from experience picking glass out of your skin sucks.”

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker tried to ask her What do I do if I get stuck in the darkness?. She sighed to herself as Blink seemed to teleport in and out in a snap. Blink definately a suiting name. She turned to the task at hand and went to Amp's door to try again, pocketing the cell phone in her sweat shirt while she was at it. She looked at the door again placed her hand on the door and closed her eyes and said to herself softly,"Focus on how the destination... Not how you get there...". The first thing that came to mind was the punching bag that she saw him hitting when she was last there. As she focused on that the shadows came up to surround her and pulled her in. She was falling and was launched into the punching bag. Reflexively she wrapped her arms and legs around it holding as tight as she could, her eyes were shut just as tight. Hanging around sorta speak.

a.k.a. Amp 
Amp was sitting on the futon, with a bowl of cereal in his hands and a carton of lactose free milk sitting on the floor in front of him. It wasn’t that he was lactose intolerant- or any more than most people- it was extra milk that Blink had who was lactose intolerant. He paused the movie he was watching- in the middle of a zombie sucking the marrow of some victim’s leg bone- and glanced over at Shadow Walker wrapped around his punching bag. “Oh, you finally decided to come in,” Amp said, unimpressed. He held up his bowl of cereal and said, “I would offer you something to eat, but I figure you probably ate at Warp’s… unless he kicked you out? That would explain why you were with Blink, here, though. She probably would have cooked something for you, too. If you were lucky she cooked something like French toast, she can actually cook that since that is one of her favorite foods.”
He drained the milk in his bowl and stood up as he picked up the carton of milk and headed to the kitchen, “I assume you aren’t here to talk about Warp’s and Blink’s cooking abilities, though. What do I owe the honor of your visit?”

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker blushed as she heard Amp's voice man Ah geez that entrance was simply embarrassing he must think I'm totally lame confused ... At least I'm in the right place... Her green eyes opened one at a time, further confirming that she teleported into the room where she hoped. "I'm sorry if I caught you at a bad time. I uh... was hopping you, c-could train me how to fight. I couldn't help but notice you were able to take on Warp so easily... I-I feel if I want to join the Brotherhood I need to make sure I don't... get in th-the way...". As she spoke she carefully got off the punching bag. She knew it was a lost cause but she did think he was cute. She hid her eyes behind her bangs and her cheeks were pink. She, looked toward the paused screen, "That scene seems... familiar...is that... Zombieland?" she remembered watching that one, it was one of her favorites.

As Felica got back to the kitchen, she looked around to see if it was safe to come back in, with regard to the shattered glass. She's been walking around in her bare feet after all. Her ears twitched, facing toward Cassie's voice, capturing it. Her ears sloped down a little as she thought of picking glass out of one's skin. Shivers went down her spine and tail causing it too look look a little fluffy. "Miss Cassandra, could you take the first aid to him while I go up to borrow a pair of slippers?" Although she wanted to be the one to tend to his wound, it was more important that the first aid get to him asap.

a.k.a. Amp
Amp didn’t answer right away as he put the milk carton in the fridge and the empty cereal bowl in the sink. Returning to the living room he sighed, “You have to have a schedule to have a ‘bad time’.” Crossing his arms he raised a brow, noticing her blush, he assumed that it was probably over her less than graceful entrance, if it was that she thought he was cute or whatever he didn’t care: he already had the perfect girl for him. “Don’t think you can impress me by recognizing Zombieland. The movie is pretty main stream. I was too lazy to hunt up some more zombie heavy zombie movie this morning.”
He stood on his tiptoes stretching, “Anyways, so you decided to be part of the Brotherhood… how cute. I thought it was pretty clear my priorities weren’t aligned with the Brotherhood anymore. Why would I help someone train to become a better Brotherhood member? And, despite what it looks like Warp could flatten me if he used his power against me. Just because I am better at martial arts than him doesn’t mean I can easily handle him.”
“If you want to be useful to the Brotherhood learn to use your powers right, first,” Amp continued. “We’re homo-superiors, what makes us superior is our powers, not that we’re trained in martial arts and combat. But, fine, I have a deal for you. You tell Cassandra Diaz- Love or Heartbreaker- a message for me when you run into her and I train you in martial arts and help you learn to use your powers so you won’t be a liability to the Brotherhood. Hell, you won’t just not be a liability, you’ll be an asset.”

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker began to doubt herself when Amp pointed out that he no longer supported the Brotherhood. She started to think about leaving when it sounded like he was willing to do it in exchange for a favor. "I promise, to deliver a message to Cassandra Diaz. Though I do recommend that you tell me just before I go on my first mission. I ... know it must be important... so... I uh, wouldn't want to forget...". It was nice that Amp trusted her with something this important to him but it was for a girl he barely knew and probably wouldn't even care. If only there was a way to talk him out of it but even Warp tried speaking some sense it seems her power has a tight grip.

a.k.a. Amp
Amp smiled at Shadow Walker’s agreement, while carrying a message to Cassandra Diaz did have the motive of just being able to communicate with her, it also had the motive of maybe getting him the help to get out of his prison. He hadn’t admitted it to Warp or even Blink, but he was beginning to see what Cassie saw in the X-men and had against the Brotherhood. Sure, it disappointed him that she didn’t want to take her crown as ruler of the world when she could, but he should support Cassie in whatever she wanted to do. Still smiling, he said, “The message isn’t hard. I doubt you’ll forget the main point. It is something every girl wants to hear, from what I can tell. But, to be fair I’ll tell you the message first and then you can decide if you will carry the message for me. Carry the message and I will help you. If not, I’m sure you can find someone else to help you out.”
He sat down on the futon and said his expression growing serious, “I want you to tell her that she’s right. I was wrong. I’m sorry and I am willing to support her in whatever her chosen path is.”
He paused and said with a small smile, “See not that complicated, right? It is a harmless enough message.” In the back of his mind he added, or at least I hope it sounds harmless enough to most people… He was betting on Cassie being as smart as Warp was- if not smarter. If she was, she would realize he was essentially offering to help the X-men where he could. If making Cassandra Diaz was something she wasn’t interested in, he would make her realize his value by helping her make reality what she did want, which aligned with the X-men’s goals.

my name is Shadow Walker Really? That's all? I thought with how enamured he was about her it would be something about worshiping her beauty and vowing his love to her. Simple short and sweet, just the way I like it.Shadow Walker nodded, "I think I can remember that. Your message will be delivered as soon I'm on my first mission with the Brotherhood." She cautiously approached him and reached out her hand to shake his sealing the deal.

a.k.a. Amp
Amp laughed, “The X-men don’t always cross paths with the Brotherhood on their missions. For Warp’s and your sake and the other’s sake I hope your paths pass later than sooner. Did you think my message was going to be all that complicated? I don’t have to tell her about my undying love or compliment her: Cassie already knows how I feel about her. But thank-you for agreeing to carry my message, that means a lot to me. So, I guess that means I need to make good on my deal.”
He reached out and took her hand and said growing more seriously, “I like you well enough… so don’t hold anything I do to you or say to you personally.” He tightened his grip on her hand and in seconds amplified her power exponentially- squared, cubed, even to the fourth power- when suddenly just as quickly the surge in power drained: it would be enough to catch Shadow Walker off guard, though he quit amplifying her power before any real damage could be done.
His expression was grim as he let go of her hand, “It doesn’t matter how strong your power may be or what your potential is. You know what is more important than great power? Control. Warp came to the position he is, not because his power is endless within its range, but how well he can control his power, even on the few occasions I amplified his power. Shouldn’t the same be true of the rest of Magneto’s Brotherhood?”
