Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Jacen Reilly [Kraken]
Team: Omega
Location: Rally
Thoughts: Deals with Devils never work Out, Judging from past experience of course.

Jacen looked over to Narcissa, then to Cyclops, then to the Master of Magnetism himself as he floated down to still slightly above their level. His opened sentence almost made Jacen cough out a laugh, but he held his tongue. As if they would make such a horribly deadly mistake.

Magneto’s ultimatum didn’t seem to difficult to accept, though by now he had finally realized that he was one of the few Omegas that actually liked humans. Though his mind temporarily wandered to a quote of the mainlanders’ president about not negotiating with terrorists, Jacen continued to pay attention to is surroundings, waiting for the senior X-man to respond.

The OctOmega wasn’t phased by Erik’s ‘Join Me’ speech in the slightest. Ever since being poisoned on Muir Island, he tends to be a little skeptic about offers such as those. Go figure right?

He could split the tension with a spoon as Pietro and Wanda were loaded up onto their father’s stretcher. Evidently the good Senator was trying to split it with idiocy as Magneto flew away, and Jacen actually had to make conscious effort to restrain his frustration. 'It’s more infuriating to have Kelly yelling at us than to have Magneto trying to kill us.’ he thought, before his face went placid again. He sighed, saddened that a man could be so possessed by hatred as to blind him of all else.

Magneto’s last haunting taunt hung in the air as the X-men formed up. Jacen mentally winced as Orchid threatened to kill the Senator. “That seems a bit self-defeating Covet.”

Name: Ƞarcissa "Cissa" Ƚucania
Team: Ѻmega
Location: Outside Courthouse
Thinking: Going home.


She slowly killed the light in her hand that she had aimed at Quicksilver, watching Dart taze the hell out of him. Covet had been on the ground before she could move, and though she moved quickly to help her up…The girl was already back on her feet, moving back towards the group. It was good that she hadn’t touched her in her haste…Magneto had nerves on edge, and her skin burned like a bonfire. How could she have been so careless?

Words died on her lips, to ask if she was all right…Clearly, she wasn’t, and asking stupid questions that she already knew the answers to wouldn’t help her disposition.

Her eyes flickered over the arriving Omega’s that had been with Knoxx, careful to take in their state… Some of them looked a little roughed up, but none the worse for wear. That was a relief. When Roland and Felix called that the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were secure, she nodded her head with some sensation of relief. The probability manipulator set her on edge…Likely because she wasn’t used to getting her attacks getting batted away like a paper football. It was a blow to not only her ego, that was exceedingly large, but something that picked at the concrete faith she had in herself.

That wasn’t a good sign, and a little more than disturbing to her.

As she’d suspected, Paladin and Kraken seemed to make a good combination. Both were physical fighters… Where as she was someone who usually preferred to blast things from far away. Why? Because if, on the off chance that she missed, she wouldn’t put a hole through one of her ducklings. Hearing Kerrigan comment about their bargaining chips, she cast the red head a cocky smirk. “Aren’t they just the cutest little assets when they’re all unconscious?”

‘And possibly brain damaged.’, she thought venomously… Sincerely hoping, that the red clad Maximoff-brat was in a perma-coma. The fact that she was still breathing told her that she wasn’t dead… And wasn’t that a pity.

Hearing Measure call her by a familiar nickname, her hell fire white eyes shot towards him. They were intense, furious and burning without meaning to be …But the sun goddess was ever conscious about their audience in the form of the senators. She wanted the man to remember as little about her facial features as possible, considering she was likely going to be getting awfully close melting them out of the cage. So she remained glowing, bright—Her skin shimmering with light that threaded and licked underneath her skin.

It was as good a disguise as any, considering how much time her family spent time in the lime light. Her identity was not publicly known. Aren wanted to know what the plan was… “We’re…Calling an end to this. His brats, for the Senator. They’re too powerful for him to potentially lose. And then we get the hell out of here.”

That wasn’t exactly true. But Magneto always had a hidden agenda… If he’d wanted them dead, the X-Men, or the Senator and his friends… He would have killed them by now. They were important to the madman for reasons she didn’t understand.

Narcissa hated being in the dark. Bloody hell.

The self proclaimed Sun Goddess watched the deal go down with a cold expression. Even when the men in the cage cried out when Magneto dropped them, she remained silent, stoic. Just because she advocated to save them, to prevent the death of a United States Senator and government officials by mutant hands…Didn’t mean that she felt sorry for them. Magneto wasn’t interested in staying in the shadows, or remaining anonymous. Narcissa was.

She wanted to be the hunter, not the hunted.

She didn’t say anything as Magneto ranted—Strange, for the sun goddess, not to mouth off when she heard a line of bull s**t…But she’d already been a target for Magneto once before. Not one he wanted to kill…One he wanted to recruit. Which, in her opinion, was worse than kicking the bucket. Narcissa hated to be controlled… She’d been a weapon once. A fearsome, disgusting creature… She had no want to repeat the episode.

She didn’t want to draw anymore attention to herself than absolutely necessary… Which didn’t seem to matter, because he still smirked in her direction. After the trade was made… She slowly started to unwind when the Master of Magnetism disappeared from sight… Though none would know, except for the fact that her fists unclenched. Hearing Dart state that it went well, she snorted with disdain.

“Yes, it went well. We aren’t dead... A lot of others weren't so fortunate. We could easily be them...Mutant or Human...Magneto outclasses all of us. And he knows it.”

The sun goddess ignored the screaming Senator for the most part. In her eyes, he was beneath her in so many ways…She was tempted to leave them in the cage for the police to find. But…Scooter had said to set them free. So she would. But she worried about her own first. The humans, could wait, and rot for all she cared.

“Kraken…Carry Covet back to the rendezvous point. Rave…Go follow along, in case he needs help… Head in the direction Storm went.”, Narcissa began, her tones clipped, pure ice falling from her lips. She spoke clearly, and firmly… As if there weren’t crumbled buildings around them…Cars on fire…Dead bodies. Or at least, severely wounded. Most likely dead… Who was she kidding? They were road kill. She didn't let anyone see that these things bothered her...Wouldn't. The Omega leader was untouchable. “Covet—Don’t fight, or whine about it, or I’ll go out of my way to give you something to b***h about later. “

“Paladin and Dart, go with them. When you get to our evac…”, she used that word, evac, instead of saying X-Jet because she didn’t want to say anymore than she had to in front of the Senator. Even if he was too busy calling her a murdering psychopath to actually glean any information from them. Her eyes flickered to Covet, eyes finding familiarity in the way she held herself. “See what medical supplies we have. I know you have some decent field training Paladin… But see if there’s anything to bind her ribs with until we get back. The less we jar them the better. Also, make sure Cyclops doesn't let himself bleed out, like the moron he is.”

“Also, see if you can find Copycat. She should be somewhere around here… Last I checked she does have a healing ability.”

Dart, she sent because she feared he might undo all of their good deeds and kill the Senator—Who still hadn’t stopped running his mouth.

One-Eye was standing some distance away from them…Surveying the damage. Storm would likely bring the X-Jet down from the building they’d left it on, so that the wounded wouldn’t have to climb up the now unstable fire escapes… He would likely need…Prompted away from the carnage. He literally was, such a bleeding heart… He probably felt responsible for all this.

Bloody boy scout.

“Knoxx and Measure…You’re with me.”, she informed her second in command and the native american, who between the two of them had enough skill and muscle to keep any of the humans she was about to set free from trying anything…Foolish. She wasn’t blind to their threats… But if she laid a hand on them, it wouldn’t be…Conductive to peace keeping. “Make sure that our gentlemen friends behave while I get them out.”

XXXXXXXXXXXX

It had been a painstaking task to get the Senator and the rest of his Cabinet out of the metal cage… She burned through the metal bars enough that she could wrench them away in large chunks… Enough that she created a door way that Knoxx and Measure could help pry the humans out, one by one. They had to wait and let the metal cool. It got trickier when they discovered magneto had actually wrapped the metal around some of them…But they managed, with minor burns to the freed party.

Even though they were fine…The men they let go held nothing but a loathing disgust for the mutants that had set them free. They cursed them, threatened them, yelled louder when they found the deceased policemen. Apparently they were cop-killers. Narcissa eventually grew tired of their babbling and set off another solar flare… One that was much, much less violent than the one she’d used on the Scarlet Witch. It would blind them for ten minutes, at most, while they made their escape.

Boarding the jet with the rest of the Omega’s, she nodded at Scott when he gave her a questioning look. He was barely on his feet…No doubt he’d needed help getting to the X-Jet.

“Let’s go home…”, she murmured tiredly, having killed her powers once she blinded the Senator.

She had other Omega’s to check on. Her stomach dropped to her feet as the flew over the flaming area, sirens coming towards their direction…Followed by what looked like honest to god armored vehicles, and tanks.

Mutant-Human relations had just gotten a whole hellavalot worse.
