Welcome to Gaia! ::

ooc: Okay, these new training sessions are a great way to help me slip into the fray. (I have to admit, I was finding it kinda hard, hence the lack of posts.) Anyway, this is probably going ot cause all sorts of continuity problems, but here we go. /ooc.

ai had been contacted by this "Logan" character a few days ago and had more or less been instructed to meet at the Xavier Institute without being given a choice. The gruff tone that almost barked down the phone had no sense of malevolence to it, more of a "I've been told you call you, so dammit I'm calling you" grievance tone. Considering her recent interests in the Xavier Institute, it was no hard decision to agree to the deal. After all, free tuition was free tuition.

With only a few notable mishaps, Kai had navigated her way towards the Mansion, through the gates and into the building. "Sure is a lot bigger than my crummy little apartment." she spoke quietly to herself. No sooner had she rested her jacket on a nearby stand than the PA system echoed crisply through the hallways, instructing several names, including Kai's, to meet in the Danger Room in fifteen minu-...

"Danger Room?!" Kai gaped with a cocked head. "I'm not so sure about this..."

"You're looking for de Danger Room? Zat way." said a remarkably blue young man, stretching out an arm and pointing towards an elevator at the end of the corridor. "You got de Wolverine, ja? Man, I feel bad for you! Good luck!" before Kai could even comprehend what "Wolverine" was supposed to mean, the boy imploded into a small plume of rocky smoke.

Stepping into the elevator and perusing the choice of buttons for several seconds, Kai finally noted "Danger Room" on the list of available selections, and pushed it. The doors slid shut and the sensation of light-headedness came in immediately. Looking over her selection of clothing, a floral-print tanktop and a pair of iron-free slacks with a silver belt buckle, she wondered if this Danger Room would come to live up to it's name, and if so...

Feeling a breif heaviness, Kai felt the elevator stop and the doors part again. Stepping out and peering around, she followed the signs towards this Danger Room, and when she arrived, two large doors opened before her, and she walked in. A handful of other people were there already, but she walked in bemusedly.

"What are we supposed to be doing in this place?" she asked innocently.

Markus laughed and shook his head. "Well, she's healthy..." He said to Pietro who looked like he wanted to gag. Feeling sorry for him. "Ok...let me take her...you go get a fresh diaper, a few wet washcloths and a change of cloths for her. Oh, and a garbage bag..." He had experience with babies compliments of his aunts. He took Ana from Pietro noting her amused expression.

"Wonderful..." He mumbled...staring blankly at the speaker nearby. "I don't even have a room yet...Where the hell is the Danger Room anyway?" He said, looking to Gen, then up and down the hall. "Jeez, I just want to sleep...." He said, followed by an agrivated sigh. He put his right hand to his face, then ran its fingers through his spiked black hair, the other hand resting on his hip.

"Pick a number, Jamie," Penance smirked feeling definately like her old self again, "Don't worry, you'll get yours too."

Cathy's attitude was slightly pissing her off and she felt a need to finally address it, "Cathy, I'd appreciate you not address the other students in such a manner. And if you have a problem with the way we run things, you know where the door is. You are a guest in our school."

"Jamie and Sonya, you're working with me today," Penance motioned for them to head over to some equipment with her.

"Cathy, Rachael, and Teagan, we're going to hit the benches now. Each of us are going to make a team so there is a spotter for everybody on the bench. Strengthening is always important to staying fit. I don't expect everybody to be able to bench my body weight, but I expect everybody to take care of themselves."

Porter put some light weights on the bars, "This is only about forty pounds. Rachael and Teagan, I want you to start out. Cathy, would you spot Rachael for me? Keep going until your arms won't let you go anymore. No more than twelve, though. We don't want to hurt our muscles."

Below the skyrises of New York where everyone cares on in their same everyday in-and-out, high-speed, non-stop everyday lives the day carries on in a continuing burry of smog-colored lens.... But up above the everyday life, up in the world above the world, up where the colors of the air are crisp and clear is where the city can be truly appericated. Especially to one innocent heart who experiencing the world above and outside of her world of deep emerald blue.

Up above the city, up on the top of the emerald blue marble build of the Mavrick Corp. building, on the very top of the build lies the Mavrick estate. With a mansion and lush garden that most movie star could only dream of living in. Inside the mansion four "guardians" prepare the events of the day for their young "Princess"
The first all clad in black with the raven black locks just past his shoulder blades is Kahito is Kylia's devoted bodyguard of 6' 9" who always seems to hide his deep violet eyes behind his favorite pair of silver/blue shades. Next golden flaxen haired beauty with the sweet but wise disposition and gentle sky blue eyes is Cesa Kylia's kind caretaker who is like a second mother to her. Delfai the gentle silver haired 7' giant is knowledgable and wise tutor and personally training. And last but not least is Maku the adorable purple flying robo mouse is incharge of Kylia's person health and well being by keeping her up-to-date on all her maintance checks-up along with the help of her pet nanomachince dragon Nano who is incharge of repairing any physical damage to her person.

One digital panels built into the walls turns on and Professor Xavier's face appears on the screen. Kahito is the first to answer. "Ah, Professor good afternoon. How are you doing today?"

"Good afternoon you also, I am doing quite well thank you. Actually I was just calling to check on little Klyia. She seem quite exhausted after interfacing with Cerebro." But before Kahito has the chance to answer him they both hear an enchanting sound that answers for both of them. The Professor smiles "It looks like young Kylia has answered the question for me. It has been a long hasn't it? She hasn't changed a bit has she?"

"Yes it has been.... She must be in a good mood today, it's been quite some time since I've sing this particular song. She was rather excited this morning when she "discovered" the sky today." Kahito says with a smile.

"It's enchanting where did she learn it?"


"Actually Kylia said she doesn't know where she learned it but it just comes flowing out from her heart. She calls it her melody of Atlantis. It's her melody and her melody only." Cesa answers with her usually insight.


Sitting alone on the fence that surronds the perimeter of the Mavrick estate Kylia sings her heart felt melody. Her voice is of a quality that is almost not of this world. It is soft and sweet but also strong and clear. Her song carries far and wide like the waves of the ocean flowing through the air, enveloping everyone who hears in a refreshing warmth that they can not explain. A voice fitting even the most pure-hearted angel.

Her guardians are happy to hear there Princess sing so joyfully..... but Kahito turns back his attention to the Professor with a concernd look on his face. "Professor Xavier may I ask you about something I came across in the paper?" He holds up the newspaper to the screen and shows him two articles on the Kingpin and someone called the Taskmaster, asking him if he know anything about them.

"Unfortunately I know as much about them as you do... but I can understand your concern, especially for someone of Kylia's position... I will do some looking into it for Kylia's sake and let you know as soon as I find anything out. Until then give her my best wishes."

"I will Professor thank you."

Cathy kept a steady hand on the nar as Rachael went into her eighth press. *God this place sucks.....everyones so pushy...* She complained to herself. A voice way far in the back of her head spoke up. *If you hate this place so much, why are you still here....like Pennence said, you know where the door is.* Her eye gave an irritated tick as she counted nine. *What am I doing here?* A question she really had no answer to. That nagging voice chimed in again almost happy to offer her one. *Maybe, because it's the closest thing you've had to a real home since you ran away?* Her jaw clenched as she pushed the tiny voice off to the side. "Not bad Rach...how you doin?"

"Not bad..." She grunted. "Ten..." This was getting harder to do...she was strong but she wasn't used to this kind of exersion. (sp?)

((No specuial voice there....just having a conversation with herself.))

Kidd did not move an inch until Morgan had disappeared down the hall, when she was sure he'd left she gave a sigh of relief and leaned against the hallway wall. he was so cold. Colder than any of the hicks she'd tangled with back on the west coast. He words had no feeling to them. He threaten her with out thought. I was odd to her that a person was capable of that.
she pushed herself from the wall, and walked down the hall. Morgan had been right about the boy in the ally, Kidd was afraid she had killed him. Mostly because it was an accident, but also because she didn't want to get in trouble. She'd frozen animals, dogs and cat, back in California. and the people there almost shot her. She didn't like to be shot at. Kidd walk toward the Tv room and sat by the window. She loved the view from there. Morgan was wrong about the reason Kidd didn't like to kill, he was also wrong in saying Kidd wouldn't kill, but he was right in saying she didn't like to kill. She hated the consequences of her actions but maybe with time she could learn to get around them. She looked back to the hall where Morgan and her had stood moments before. Maybe by watching and learning from Morgan, he did say he'd killed someone before. She thought with a smile on her face.
