Nick had found himself wandering around the school and mansion when he stopped seeing Lance and Valerie. He could feel the ground shaking slightly and did a double take on the two as he half wondered if they were just messing around at first. Then he started to realise that they aren't playing.
"Ya know someone could get hurt." He chimed in as he stood about 5 feet away still watching what was going on. He didn't want to spook anyone by teleporting just because he had not used it in front of others that much before.

Alastair watched the cigarette fly out of the window with a look of disgust that he made no attempt to hide. Following behind the girl, and slightly off to the side, he let his gaze run across the walls of the halls that they walked through, taking in all of the wall hangings and statues that decorated the school.
When they had reached the floor that held all of the student rooms, he peaked in a room from time to time that had a door left open, looking to see just what kind of lifestyles other people around here led. From what he could make of all wide range of possessions in each room, there were a lot of different stories around this place.
He was a little suprised when Tatiyana led him to yet another floor, figuring that all of the rooms belonging to students were down on the previous floor. Going up the stairs after her, he spared one last glance behind him before gazing around the new floor. It was a lot smaller than the last floor, almost to the point that he wasnt so sure that she was leading him to a safe place anymore. For all he knew, she could have been leading him to some kind of torture room. He would have deserved it though, for coming into a place without some research into it first.
After she spoke, and opened the door to her bedroom, he peaked his head in after her to check it out, and possibly flee. As dark as it was inside for a moment though, he was relieved to see that it was in fact a bedroom. Stepping inside, he walked around in a small circle, checking the room out from wall to wall while waiting for her.
Glancing down at the clothes that she brought back for him, he decided they were almost a bit TOO fancy for him, but from what he had observed of the institute so far, he wouldnt have been suprised if everyone ran around in similar fashions. "Thank you." He replied gratefully, and went into the bathroom that the girl had entered earlier, deciding a good wash wouldnt have hurt either.
About twenty minutes after he went in, he came back out, his skin clean and his dirtied blonde hair now shining with its rightful color. Looking down at himself, he fingered one of the shirt buttons for a moment, still clinging to the clothes he had on earlier in his free hand, though they had been folded neatly despite being dirty. "Well..'Ow do ah luk?"

Tatiyana busied herself flipping through the pages of a book on the history of Russian space exploration. It was a copy she'd picked up in Swiss, with the hopes of one day learning the language. She knew exactly what each page said- she'd read the book in English and Russian, but she had never heard the language spoken.
When Alastair exited the bathroom, she memorized the page and looked up, and her eyes widened, her lips parting slightly in surprise. The boy sure could clean up. She shut her mouth, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of him, and for a moment she was at a loss for words. He seemed a different person, almost, his skin and hair shining in cleanliness and good health, his eyes startling green, reflecting the shirt's color.
"You...the clothes fit well. Come, the professor will want to see you." Not meeting his eyes, Tatiyana swiftly turned out of the room, hurrying down the hall, trying to create distance between them so to calm herself. Her heart was beating too fast, she was loosing control. She couldn't lose control.

A brow rose slightly at the smile on the girls lips and his cheeks reddened somewhat at the way she was looking at him. He had never gotten looks like that before, probably because he hadnt looked as healthy as he did now in a very long while, and he was completely at a loss of what to do, so he tried his best to pretend like he didnt realize what was going on.
She seemed to hurry out the room a bit quicker than he remembered her moving on the way up, and honestly, he was greatful for it. He even waited a few seconds to get the skin color of his cheeks back down to normal before following after her, the collar of his shirt now feeling a little tighter then he remembered, despite the top two buttons being undone.
He followed the girl down the halls, the distance between them never growing or shortening throughout the entire walk. Until he ran into something unseen, and fell backwards onto his a**. Groaning, he rubbed his forehead from where he had smacked it against an invisible barrier of high density gravity he had unknowingly conjured. Luckily, the area that it had targeted, Tatiyana had already walked through, so she didnt become rooted.
Pushing himself up hastily, he started forward again and held out his hand in front of him where the impact had occured, but nothing was there. At least it didnt stick around this time.. He thought to himself before hurrying on, damning his own abilities as he walked.

Zion had sat up when she saw the girl break Toads nose but when Lance shook the hall she fell from her place atop the lockers. Growling she stood up and seperated the fighting mutants from the other students watching with a wall of flames. "What in the hell is wrong with you people?!" She yelled looking at them all with a glare. She hadn't wanted to get involved and hopefully no one would retaliate but it was unlikely.
By the time she killed the flames the other students had run and it was just the group of them in the hall. "We're almost adults and yet you guys are acting like you're still five years old fighting over a toy in a sandbox." Zion didn't expect anyone to listen to her so she just shook her head and pulled out a bandana from her back pocket and shoved it into Toads hand as she walked by muttering something about for his nose.
Zion got to the parking lot and sat in her car for a while and sighed. Maybe this just wasn't for her. She started the car and went for a drive heading in the direction of New York City...

Tatiyana's effort to control herself only had anger rising as her efforts failed. She could practically feel the man behind her. Color rose in her cheeks and she began to panic, feeling her control slipping and fearing what would happen. But then, she noticed a fly meandering through the air toward her- in slow motion. Her breath catching in her throat, she turned back to see if Alastair was still there. How long had she been caught in this time? But he was only half way down the hall behind her, when he seemed to hit some invisible wall and fell.
Amused, Tatiyana smiled, and was pleased to notice that the normal flow of time resumed. Regaining her lost control, she stood in the hallway to wait for him, her lips curved upward.

This was one of those times that dodgeball skills really paid off. Morgan had managed to evade most of the sticky blobs, but Victoria wasn't so lucky.
Then that other girl showed up, scared off the other students with a wall of flames, and then had ranted something about being like "five year olds in a sandbox". Morgan was ready to yell at her at a bit for that, but she walked off before he had a chance to respond. Who the hell did she think she was? Morgan was the only one trying to defend someone here, if anyone deserved to be chastised, it should have been Mortimer and Lance.
He still wanted to pummel the two of them for this little incident, but he realized that it was probably more important to get Victoria to safety. He walked over to her limp form, and picked her up with both arms. "I'm taking this girl to Xavier's. If either of you try to stop me, I will break your god-damned necks," Morgan said, sending a glare at Lance and Mortimer that would have made scared the Basilisk. He was in one of those moods where if you valued your safety, you would not mess around with him. He turned around, and carried Victoria towards the exit.

Toad had just stopped lashing his long tongue around when he felt strong heat appear for a moment and then vanish. Someone yelled something and the fight, at least his fight, was over. He still couldn't see, the blood in his eyes strong worse then bubble mix, maybe it was partly because of some free flying resin, he didn't know. Either way it hurt like hell.
When something was shoved into Toad's hand, he was surprised and brought the object up to his nose to smell it. When he couldn't smell anything, the boy simply grabbed the object with his tongue and ate it. The object turned out to be a banana, and a good one too. Without thinking Toad leapt towards the school's large windows. Lance was right, this place was a dump, and dumps smelled funny.
Crashing through the window Toad landed in a classic Spider-man pose then began to bound blindly off. hopefully he wouldn't get hit by a car on the way back to the Brotherhood house.

Koriander made her way to the front door and paused, setting her hand on the door. A little smirk crossed her lips as she could feel the electricity of a security system. It probably wouldn't be a very good impression to break into the place on her first day, but she hadn't joined up willingly so that mattered little to her.
It was perhaps lucky that the door was apparently unlocked. No doubt her presence had already been known, as she'd felt the signals of watching cameras on the way in. Shifting her backpack a little, Koriander opened the door and stepped intot he mansion, keeping an ear out for anyone near. It might be fun to see how long she could sneak around before someone caught her...

Catching up to Tatiyana, Alastair rubbed at his temples, trying to massage away the sudden headache that he had gotten from running into his little accident. It felt like he had run headfirst into a brick wall. He was so distracted by the pain that he didnt notice her smile for the first ten seconds that he stood with her. Looking up from the ground, he met her eyes, and then it dawned on him that she was smiling. "Whut?" He asked, ready to feel embarassed if she had seen him fall down.

"It is nothing" Tatiyana replied, turning away from Alastair and counseling herself to hold her emotions in check,"We are nearly to the Professor's classroom. It would not do for you to have a.. mishap before then. Let us hope there are no more invisible things to block your way."
For the first time in her entire life, Tatiyana was purposefully teasing a member of the opposite sex, and it made her smile widen, even though a voice in her head, the one that was usually stronger, told her that it would be best for her to simply give the man directions and never see him again. She liked the other voice better. For the first time since she came to the institute, control was not reigning her actions, and because of it, she felt more in control than she ever had. Perhaps she should be happier more often?

At her teasing, Alastair's cheeks began to redden again, but within her taunting, she didnt know just how correct she was. He truely did hope that there would be no more accidents on the way there. An invisible wall of gravity wasnt fun to walk into at a full, unsuspecting walk. It tended to hurt, a lot. Stuffing his hands in his pockets -it seemed to help with the accidents, but he wasnt sure if it was just coincidence, or an actual help- he followed along beside her, staying quiet for a while.
As before, the silence got to him and soon he found himself looking over to the side, studying the girls profile. "So, wha's this Xavier guy aboot, really? Is heh som' kin'of wacko tryin' tah form an army of us mu'ants?" He asked curiously, with a hint of joking, but he honestly wondered just what the mans intentions were. It had been so long since their last meeting that he had truely nearly forgotten why the man had asked him to join his school in the first place.

((It's late...so tired...but I'm posting now before it slips my mind. Also, I'll post as Mystique in soon so we can wrap this thing up and hopefully move into the Bayville Dance we've been putting off. More news at 11... wink )) Lance smiled as the girl's water buddy collapsed and fell into a pathetic puddle a little ways away. Though she was still currently standing thanks to her water-like lower half counteracting the trembling earth, Lance had reason enough to believe she wouldn't be able to keep it up form much longer. His taxing powers slowly pulling away at his energy, he realized he had one last shot as showing Valerie who's boss, and he sure as hell was gonna make it a good one.
However, black fire suddenly jumping up from around him, it's source unknown, and although the brief flames were near unbearable for him, Valerie's torrents of water were bound to be effected....---------------------------------------- Thanks to Toad's resin bombs, Victoria, for the second time today fell with a thud to the floor. She was paralyzed for the most part, temporarily she hoped, but still conscious. Her eremites felt completely non-existent as she tried to move herself somewhere that was slightly less like a warzone. Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain, but those of good semartinat Morgan, however, weren't.
Victoria looked around with a jolt when she suddenly realized that she was being moved. It was Morgan, the same kid who had come to her rescue twice before already. Fortunately, her face wasn't paralyzed and she was able to smile cheerfully and offer a dazed 'Thank you'. Before she knew it, he had picked her up in both arms and had moved half-way to the exit. Glancing down the hallway, she noticed that Toad had since skedaddled. Good, she thought, otherwise he'd have to suffer another butt-whooping from me. Lance was still there and currently occupied with another mutant girl. Had Victoria had a working arm at the time, she would have sent an inappropriate hand gesture down his alley just for kicks.

Valerie grinned feeling she was doing rather well in this fight against such a powerful foe, she had a good defense and offensive position though things went from good to bad. The sudden fire blast took the blonde by suprise and it caused Valerie's two swirling pillars to choke suddenly and plummet to the ground soaking Valerie as they died, her legs also reverted back to normal state. Elemental cursed as she stood drenched looking like a drowned rat. Looking herself up and down she cursed as her leg warmers and pop socks hung around her shoes.
"Only one thing left to do now..."
She muttered clicking her fingers in Mizu's direction, he knew was was coming. Running back over to his master he dove into her leg and dissapeared from sight. Valerie put her hand in the air and summoned a large plume of water letting it swirl like a whirlpool. She grinned as it suddenly sprouted demonic eyes. Mizu had become part of the whirlpool making it far deadlier now it had a mind of its own. Shivering slightly due to being soaked, she may have had power over the water, but she still could catch chills from getting too wet. Elemental let the whirlpool fall from from her hand and it sat in front of her not attacking until she gave the command, taking in the water that had fallen to the floor from the defensive pillars
"What fun this has been!"
Not wanting to loose this fight but feeling she couldnt continue and risk getting a chill which would affect her powers in dangerous and weird ways. The Blonde dipped her dripping wet head to Lance letting Mizu finish the fight if it didnt end there.
