Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC: Those of us who have been here long enough remember the days in which a single Pietro post was powerful enough to piss off pretty much anyone who was in the X-Men, along with sizable numbers of the brotherhood, simultaneously. This will be one of those posts.

IC: After spending some time sharing some pizza and surprisingly positive conversation with Wanda, Pietro decided to head up to Sasha's room to check on her and the baby. They were going to be spending much more time together now to be sure, but exactly how he wasn't sure. It was true, though, that ever since Ana was born he had been feeling far closer to Sasha, and was contemplating... nah, thinking like that he was sure he'd jinx it somehow...

He walked up into Sasha's room, and smiled to see her laying peacefully on her bed. He touched her shoulder, and looked over, expecting to see Ana. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh... oh s**t..." he whispered. "If Sasha wakes up and Ana isn't here she's gonna ******** freak... gotta find her... ok if I was a baby..."

Pietro immediately shot back downstairs, seeking out Wanda.

"Wanda! Did you steal the baby again?" he asked.

Wanda, who was still munching on Pizza, gave him the standard "You're retarded" look.

"s**t!" he shouted and sped into the infirmary. Some of the students were there, along with Hank. "Have you guys... oh hell no time to explain!" he shouted as he began to zip around the room. Doors were opened, cabinets turned over, bedsheets ripped off and pills and needles spilled out all over the room as he searched frantically for the baby. Two seconds later, and it looked like a bomb went off inside.

"What the stars and ******** garters is wrong with you boy?!" shouted Hank in a fit of blind rage.

"Bah, useless!" Pietro shouted as he headed into the kitchen. Luckily for Wanda, she'd already left by now. From her position in the parlor, Cathy would have a firsthand view of Pietro decimating the kitchen, destroying it in the way that a thousand food fights could only hope to mimic. She only had a few seconds of "what the ********" mentality before the parlor was equally destroyed. She found herself somehow sitting on top of a now-empty bookshelf, the books thrown around the room, the cushions of the couch torn off, the tv pulled out of the entertainment center and every single CD and DVD deposited on the floor.

From there, Pietro sped into Emma's office. She looked as though she'd just finished a serious conversation, and gave Pietro an odd look before her office was equally trashed as was every other room he'd visited so far. Emma nearly had a stroke.

"You little b*****d I'm going to reduce you to the intelligence of a snail for this!" she shouted as he sped off, tearing all the remaining Xavier offices to pieces in his search for his daughter.

He then turned his attention to the basement. Anyone down there would no doubt wonder about the screaming silver streak running through the halls. Luckily, there was less for Pietro to tear apart here, and he abandoned his search quickly after guessing it was unlikely Ana would make it down there.

He ran up into the dormitory areas, peaking in and subsequently tearing his housemates' rooms apart, leaving no stone unturned, no bed dismantled, no bathroom unchecked. Rogue, from her shower, was quite understandably furious, and promised Pietro only the most painful of deaths for this.

In Penny's room, there was a tense standoff. Apparently, Regina had lead Logan in, who was about to beat some sense into the girl the only way he knew how. It was likely, though, that the tension turned to confusion when Pietro raced in, rummaging through Penny's things at mach speed trying to find Ana. If the room's occupants looked down, they'd noticed he'd even managed to turn their pockets inside out.

"Um... you guys seen Ana?" he asked when he finally slowed down.

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" shouted Wolverine, his claws drawn, his eyes filled with bloodlust.

"That'd take too long, as you're all obviously useless!" Pietro shouted as he raced outside, lamenting ********! One day as a father and my baby disappears twice! Sasha's gonna kill me, Ana's probably kidnapped or worse, and--" he began, before he noticed Markus outside playing with Ana.

"Oh... there you are," he said calmly as he sped over, and began making goofy faces at her as well, happy to see the baby smile.

Of course, Pietro's little rampage only lasted about one minute. However, in that time he'd managed to trash the mansion on the scale that usually only hit frat houses. Somewhere, in the distance, the words of Scott Summers screaming "I'm going to ******** kill you Maximoff" could be heard, and Pietro was sure he wasn't the only one. But it didn't matter. He had his baby girl back, and she was the only one who was of any importance.

OOC: Penance and Wolverine aren't in her room. So I'm going to go about my merry way.

IC:

"I think we've hit a record," Penance said breathily after about an hour or so. She knew Porter was at the door with a few other people but chose to not let it be a distraction. There was something about this fight with Wolverine that put a fire into her that she hadn't had since before she left on the road with Jacen.

"Done doubting yourself?" He asked as their blades struck and she dug her back foot into the ground for balance.

Penance very quickly stopped pushing against the blade enough that Logan slightly lost his balance. She knew he wouldn't expect her to relent there. As he moved forward, she moved one of her arms to his side and put a hard elbow into him knocking him behind her and gave her time to regroup, "I stopped about fourty minutes ago."

Wolverine didn't say anything in return. He knew this was the old Evelyn fighting, not the one Sonya met this morning. Penance knew too. The only thing she could attribute to Jade at the moment was to regain her position at the Institute. To regain that drive. She felt more comfortable in what she was doing and she had only one objective: she was going to beat Wolverine this time.

Through a series of moves, Wolverine managed to get her blade from her hand and it slid across the floor. Before he could pounce her with the final stroke, she slid across the floor on her knees and stomach to grabe the blade. Turning over, she struck him with both the blade and her feet and launched him over her. He forgot she was strong. When he got up she was ready.

Putting her foot into his back it kept him on the defensive and gave her enough time to wrap her blade around his neck. Standing behind him she hissed as sweat trickled off her nose, "Last time I checked, you can't grow your head back."

"I still have my weapon," He reminded her.

"Any move you make now, I will heal from. You won't," She pressed the blade and he dropped his. He had a smirk on his face and nodded to her.

"Six years, you've graduated from my class," He headed towards the door.

"Logan," She said as he walked out of the door with a glare in her eyes he hadn't seen since she returned, "I want my team back."

Looking back he said, "You're fighting the wrong person for your team. You gotta talk to your boyfriend about that."

------------------------

"Penance, training is up in ten minutes. Get some water," Porter yelled through the door to his assistant and then hit the comm on the wall, "Rachael, Sonya, and Cathy, you're about two minutes away from being late for my class. I don't like when people are late."

He started wiping down different equipement in the weight room they were specifically going to use for their weight training. He wondered if he could talk a few other students into coming back to his training team who were unsure of their advisor. They had his specific attention before. Opening the comm again,

"Jamie and Teagan, if you would like, I have some slots available on my training team. I would like you to consider it. If so, class begins shortly in the weight room."

OOC: Sorry for being away for a couple'a days...got lazy...XD)

Tetsuo sat on that bed in the infermary still. He looked tired, but more annoyed than tired.

His right arm extended out, held up by a rope around the wrist to a hook higher up. Hank had been examining the arm almost all night...

The only nice thing Hank had done was get him a new pair of pants, (ones without the hole in the back...XD) A nice pair of well fitting low-rise jeans. Coupled with the fact that he didnt have his shirt on, he looked like one of thoes jean-modles...apart from the robotic right arm.

"Oh, Tetsuo, you may go...I completely lost track of time" Said Hank from another part of the room, chuckling slightly.

Tetsuo gave an agrivated sigh, removing his right wrist from that little sling and grabbing his shirt. He droped to the floor, Shirt around his neck, looking towards the door. Then he noticed that Gen had come back..."Uhh, hey." He said, pulling the rest of his shirt on. "What time is it?"

(ESPLODES!)

Hearing the announcement over the intercom as she led them all into the main hall. eek gonk "Oh NO!!! I forgot about training today..." She turned to Teagan to ask her to take them to see Scott or Emma when she walked in looking slightly annoyed. "I'll take it from here young lady....just don't be late." "OH thank you!!!" She went running for the weight room.

"Phhht...whatever...I'll get there when I get there...." Cathy said walking lazily towards her class.

Kade went to his training. He didn't think he really needed it but it would probly help further his own abilities. "Yawn....oh man" He closened in on were the training area was.
Kade entered the training area. He noticed that the instructor hadn't arrived yet. "Late again I see" He chuckeled to himself. He went and found a corner and sat there awaiting for the training to begin.

Logan was in a decent mood if Logan had the ability to be in a decent mood. He was pretty sure he could. But the fact of the matter is that it was way past time for his team training in the Danger Room.

Hitting a comm, "Tetsuo, Ravyn, Karly, Kai, and Kade... teacher is late, you shouldn't be. Be in the Danger Room in fifteen minutes for your training session."

And that was that. He had a program set for them to feel out their powers. That was what the first day was going to be about.

"Regina, care to join me in the observation deck? Help me stay organized and stuff. That's why I've got you right?" He called her on her own comm.

Porter couldn't help but laugh a little when Regina came huffing in. Nobody ever made that much effort to get to class on time lately it seemed, "It's no problem, Rachael. Take a moment to get your breath and get into some gear in the locker room. We're just going to be doing some strengthening today."

He sat on a bench across from Penance who was holding free weights in her hand rolling them up and down, "That was probably the best I've seen you fight in there."


Penance looked up and nodded, "First time I've felt like myself in a year. How long we running this today? I don't think they can handle more than forty minutes... at least some of them. Cathy probably will go until I drop first, and don't expect her to be on time."
