Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC: Ok! Paper done! For now that is... Now let's get BUSY!

IC: Freya was sitting in a nearby tree, watching calmly the whole fight. Now one seemed to pay attention to her. That was a very good thing.

She saw Wanda being tied up and moved away from the boy when he was hit by another mutant. Nice move to use Rogue on this one, Pyro. But it's still raining. Then the boy suddenly grew more fearsome. "Oh, my... Wanda will hate to not be able to get a nice revenge on this one. Well I guess I must play as well."

She jumped down of the tree and waved her left hand. The wind suddenly picked up and gathered in front of her before turning into a strange mystical girl with extremely long pale hair and pointy ears. "Go spirit of the wind!" she told the girl.

Like she understood what was asked of her by this mere sentence, the spirit flew toward Wanda, cutting her bonds with a sharp gust of wind and flew up to Storm.

"It was about time," said a very angry Wanda. She glared at the boy who tied her up. "Big deal you stupid moron!" She waved her hands and Morgan was surrounded by a strange blue light. He suddenly took his normal appearance and the shadows were gone. Before he could understand what was happening, Wanda punched him in the face. "You don't look so mighty now without your powers are you?"

She kept an eye on Rogue as well while trying to think of what she could do to the boy. She didn't want her to zap her powers.

The wind and the rain weren't natural.

People like me, she thought. Other people who could make the world around them change. Maybe her mother was right to send her to this place. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all to leave her home.

Of course, when she moved towards the people she knew were there things were crazy. Hitting and punching and sharp things flying. Fighting, no mutants fought where she was from. She could feel them flying about her and she got scared. Finding the nearest tree, she touched the bark and slightly merged with it. It allowed her to move up into its branches flawlessly.

Of course, she could tell that she wasn't alone. She could see green lines sillouhetted in her mind. It was a girl.

"Please, is it safe here?" Alanna asked the girl.

OOC: Anna, I'm in your tree.

{Morgan's powers aren't all he has at his disposal. He's a ninja too!}

"Unfortunately for you, I don't need to rely on my powers," Morgan replied, shaking out his head from the punch. "So you can deal with the darkness. Let's see how you handle someone trained in ninjutsu," he said assuming a fighting stance. He made a "come on" motion with his hand.

OOC: "2nd Liutenant Psylight reporting, Sir!"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Permission to freak out, Sir."

"Very well, granted."

"OMGWTFTreetalkingtomeeee!!! crying "

IC: With baited breath, Anna watched the goings-on with optimistic anticipation, but from her vantage point, the battle looked like it was heating up even more. Squinting a little, she could strain her vision to make out a battle between someone who looked awfully like the young man she'd had an encounter with recently. It wouldn't have suprised her, he seemed the violent typ-

"Please, is it safe here?"

The sudden voice sent a jolt of electricity down Anna's spine and she leapt off the ground and landed unceremoniously on her backside a foot away from the tree. Panting with wide eyes, she quickly scanned the immediate area... no sign of anyone. Whipping to her feet, she readied herself for a counter-attack at... whatever the voice was. She crouched poised for a few seconds, but nothing appeared. She tried calling out softly.

"Who's there? ... Jean? Is that you?"

"I'm here, in the tree. Is it safe?"

Anna's focus now shifted to the tree. How bizarre that someone would be speaking to her from inside the tree. She assumed a few scenarios about who it might be, but instead just decided to reply, keeping her guard up.

"Is that... are you a mutant? Who are you? Are you with the Brotherhood?"

She sounded stern when she spoke, but it was in her nature to get to the point of things. If this person/mutant/thing WAS with the brotherhood, she'd like to know in advance so she could be ready to dispatch them if they even got close to her. The voice sounded female, but didn't belong to anyone she knew. She waited for a reply, reaching back slowly and unclipping her pony-tail from her belt so it hung freely, just in case.

Standing up slowly, feeling as though it were safe to let her guard slip a little, Anna studied the girl a little. They seemed similare in age, but who could tell with mutants? Whoever she was, she had some effect on the atmosphere around her, as Anna felt the chilly bite of cold air when he hair turned blue. But now was not the time for observation, not with rampant chaos ensuing only a few hundred feet away. Anna looked over the girl's shoulder to keep watching the fight. It looked nasty.

"Look, to be honest, it isn't safe. You should get out of here." she spoke rather indignantly. "If you're headed for the Xavier Institute it's about 10 minutes that way." Anna pointed out the direction. "I'd get moving, I don't know how this fight is going to go."

She no longer felt safe at all with someone else talking to her. It kind of defeated the purpose of hiding, and she was already not the best at stealth. This girl could apparently make herself near-invisible, so she'd be fine if she kept that up. Anna nodded intently to her, then ran off to find a car to hide behind.Staying around wasn't wise, but if the fight came down to sheer numbers, or her help was required, she had to be on site.

"Good luck!" she called back. Poor thing, she sounded pretty lost, she must have been new. What a grand entrance for her to come into, a feuding of local rival factions. This wasn't exactly the way she'd want to remember things, that's for certain.

Anna scrambled behind a red Chevrolet truck, peering over the top of the trailer to watch in relative secrecy. She couldn't be any more than fifty meters from the fight now, and the closer she got, the more her heart raced with adrenaline. As a quick thought, she smashed through the passenger side window and opened the door of the chevy. With one clean motion, she sliced through the hinges and the door dropped with a noisy clunk. Grabbing the arm-rest, she hefted the door like a heavy shield, just in case the worst happened. Once she was set, she spoke into her communicator.

"Professor! We really need you right now! Everyone's fighting down here, it's going to get worse if someone doesn't stop it! ... Professor? ... I'd settle for Kim right now, even...!"

When noone had replied in 2 seconds, she assumed noone was listening and thus, she was without help. She peered up again over the truck's trailer and watched, trying not to be seen.

OOC: "Kim", for those of who don't know, was my old character, and I like to drop her name every now and then do people don't forget about her. ^_~ I can't be bothered explaining her powers, so just trust me when I say she's good at handling crowds. Just letting you know, so you don't get all confuzzled on me. ^_~

Xavier spouted instruction after instruction, melding his introduction together with his details of the plan ahead, and everything else all together. It came out muddled. It must have been so hard for such a powerful mind to be stricken with only one mouth to voice it all. But Anna got the general idea. Whatever was going on was something big, and Xavier wanted everyone out of harm's way. Anna nodded in compliance, though she only really caught half of what he said.

"You will be taking our... van."

Anna folded her arms and flicked her hair a little before resting her unimpressed gaze back to the bald man in the wheelchair. "The VAN?" she raised an eyebrow. "Logan gets a bike, Scott has a convertible, and Storm gets a jet... and I get a VAN? ... I have my full license, Dammit!"

But before she could protest any more, Xavier shooed her and this new girl in the direction of the garage, where Jean and Victor were waiting. They piled into the relatively sporty van and Jean started ripping up the gravel down the institute driveway. The ride there was pretty quiet. Instead of filling her in on the details, Anna just allowed Jean to read her mind, it was quicker that way. She looked over to the somewhat lost-looking girl beside her and gave her a very temporary grin.

In a few moments, the van came to a screeching halt in the carparks near the feud, not far from where Anna had been hiding. Jean leapt from the drivers seat and started walking purposefully towards the fight. Anna slid open the van door and stepped out, raising her hands to her mouth and shouting at the top of her lungs;

"INSTITUTE PEOPLE! GET OVER HERE NOW!!!"

Anna watched as a fireball careened towards the van, and she quickly leapt away and rolled along the ground some as the van was demolished in a small inferno. She got up quickly and struck a fighting pose, checking her hair to see if it was singed at all. Then she run up closer to the fight between Penny and the young man of dark-influence.

"We have to go now!" she cried to Penny, who seemed a little preoccupied, battling the man. So she turned her attention to him.

"Hey! Stop fighting! ... Truce!!" but to no avail, as they simply seemed to ignore her.

So she did the only thing she felt she could do. She leapt into the fray, and with one downward swing of her arm, seperated the two of them. She missed by a mile from any specific target, but that was the point. If this was just a squabble turned nasty, none deserved a lost limb, and she'd have no taken a swing at Penny anyway. She turned to look at the man.

"Sorry, we have to cut and run." she chided.

OOC: Woohoo! My first ever smart comment in battle! I'm so proud! ^_^

Hey there, I'm new and I need a little help. Am I just suppose to just bring my character in or am I supposed to join one of the threads? Thankyou. ^_^
