Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Lemme go! One of my friends is down there!" Morgan says, struggling against the teacher holding him back. He slips underneath her arms, and runs down to the site of the explosion. There was broken glass and twisted metal strewn everywhere, and fumes pouring from the door of the lab.

There were several students still lying on the ground, and a few of them were just staggering to their feet. The nurse was already there, helping to tend to some of the more injured students.

"Jesus christ! Who the hell did this?!" and then, "Penny! Are you okay?" when he saw penny laying on the ground with a piece of glass embedded in her arm.

Jamie slipped around the teachers and into the middle area. He saw Morgan helping Penny and walked over. "Do you need any more help?" He said, and then more quietly. "Who the ******** was it? I want to find them a give them a piece of my mind. Or my fist." He looked around, and then glanced back, waiting for an answer.

OOC: Wouah... So much going on. X_x Hope everything goes well for you Reaver.

IC: Everything happened so fast that Wanda didn't have time to react. First, Jacen came to her and start being friendly, which she didn't like much from someone being so puppy-like to her father. In a split of a second, she remembered an incident they had. Very insifignicant really. She broke his arm. By accident of course back then but he didn't watch his tongue, it wouldn't be an accident next time.

Then she lost interest when a girl rushed into him. Freya, on her end, was whispering to herself. Even though Wanda knew why, it was still freaking her out.

Then she heard shouting and an explosion. Before she could realize what was happening, she saw Pyro torturing a kid, whom she assumed was the culprit of the explosion. She frowned at him when she saw the fire vanishing then reapparing on the boy's body and walked toward Pyro.

"Will you stop this?!" she yelled at him. The students watching the scene stared at her, wondering how she could even DARE to raise her voice to him. "Why can't you just punch him a couple of times instead of leaving him burning marks all over his body? Do you know that he will then be even more HATEFUL toward mutants AND will do anything to kick your a** in ten years?"

OOC: Yea, I thought it'd give you some fuel for the fire... no pun intended wink ....wow, remind me never to piss Pyro off.

IC:

The response time was actually pretty good. The second of the school was quaranteened off so that the HazMat crews could make sure the chmicals from the lab were in check. The only problem is that anybody in that wing of the school had to stay within the quaranteen to make sure they weren't contaminated.

"This is going to hurt," An EMS official said looking at her arm and needing to remove the glass from it.

Instinctively, Penny made a fist and pushed it into the floor to focus on a pain different from the one in her arm. She said to Jamie and Morgan to try to hide the fact that she really was hurt and disoriented, "I would have grabbed one of yours arms, but I might have broken it."

Never show weakness was one of her mantras.

"Do you smell that?" Penny almost gagged and threw up when she realized what it was.

Jamie gave her a weird look, "Smell what?"

"Flesh... outside, burning flesh," Penny waited for a bandage to be wrapped around her arm. She stood up and the three of them walked into one of the empty classrooms that was in the desserted wing. Outside, they saw the scene... a mutant attack on their own attackers.

"That guy is an a*****e," Penny said about the mutant causing the fire.

"We should help him."

"Fire trucks are down the parking lot they will get to him faster... but remember that guy over there. I have a feeling we're going to be running into him again..."

OOC: Don't worry. As long as you don't hurt Noko he'll have no reason to attack you.....in theory twisted

OOC: Yea...things are alright here. Thanks, Inuki for the concern. It seems though that me mum's surgery isn't until next week....so...yea. That and the 'brary is on the way home from the hospital..blah blah.

IC: Jacen let the grin fade from his face when he noticed a change in the young girl in front of him. She seemed....agitated, possibly even in pain. Of course, he said nothing as he felt a twinge of negative energy seep from her being into his. A light snack, he thought as he rubbed his temple out of a nervous habit. He was about to speak with her, possibly even helping her find her class, but he was sidetracked by a large spike of hatred in the nearby vicinity. That and he heard someone shout, "GET OUT OF OUR SCHOOL, MUTIE!!"

The following flash of light and loud explosion made Jacen instinctively get inbetween he new acquaintence and the blast. After he was sure that no more metal was to be rended and there was no more shards of glass, he looked over towards Wanda and her friend. They seemed to be fine. Slowly, he stood from his hunched over position with a grimace. Apparently, there was a piece of shrapnel that had re-opened the wound on his back that was given to him yesterday. Damn....this is ruined now...., he thought as he pulled his shirt off, exposing the somewhat long slice down his back, and the mass of scarring on his upper-right arm. "Seems everyone's ok......," he said quietly when he felt something hit him like a Mack truck.

There was negative emotions flying freely everywhere. From the panic set into the student body, to the hatred that some of the other students had towards mutantkind, to the pain of Pyro's unwilling torture victim, Jacen was unconciously taking it all in. I need to discharge this energy...quickly, thought Jacen as he powered himself up right there infront of everyone. Almost instantly, he went from a somewhat built young man to a solid mass of human being. And there was still more energy coming along. It wasn't working.

"We need to leave. Now," Jacen said, ignoring the instructions over the P.A. for people to remain calm and stay on the schoolgrounds. Without a second thought, he grabbed the young girl's wrist and started moving along rather swiftly towards Pyro's location. Luckily for him, Wanda was already there chastizing him for his actions, although if Jacen were to have caught that bloke.....he wouldn't be alive right now.

After they made it outside, he realized he had the girl's wrist, and he imagined he had probably had hurt her unknowingly. Not that he was wanting to hurt, nor did he care if he did or not, but he didn't want some false abduction charge or whatever levied his way. "Sorry bout that, miss," Jacen said absently, "Anyways, you'll get home safe. I'll see to it myself." Then he decided to try and get everyone's attention.

"Sparky, Wanda, Blondie," Jacen said hurriedly to the small group of associates, "We need to go mobile now." John was still toying with his victim on the ground. "Now people. Fire department is on the way, we don't need the police breathing down our necks, and I'm damn sure not going to see the EMT's."

It had been quiet. That should have been her first clue. Things were to quiet. Then they wernt. This is why her mother told her to pay attention in class. Of course she was sure her mother never suspected a bomb going off in school. Her head was throbbing with everyones thoughts of the situation going through her brain." God shut up" She muttered as she leaned against a wall. But once again fate was with her as she looked out and saw scion and john. At least she thought that was the guys name. Looking around she snuck outside and headed over to the group wrapping her cut arms up in bits of her flannel shirt cussing the entire time. " ******** brand new ******** shirt. " she muttered as she joined the group. "******** moron owes me a new shirt. " she groaned before getting woozy and sitting down holding her head.
