Welcome to Gaia! ::

{TAS? Oh wait, I just realized what it stood for. And doesn't the power boost provided by the chamber on Asteroid M wear off after a while?}

Pietro started to spin incredibly fast, and Morgan tried to hold on, but in vain. He raises his arms in front of him in a feeble attempt to cushion his fall, knowing that it probably wouldn't help. But he never hit the ground. Instead, a forcefield "cushion", if you will, had formed beneath Morgan, saving him from splattering against the ground.

{Morgan's powers don't always kick in at will, sometimes they activate on their own, as a reflex.}

"I told you not to underestimate me."

"I hate being ignored," Penny grumbled, "Punks." She really didn't mean that. She kinda laughed it off and went on her way with Regina. The state of Xavier did concern her.

"Looks like Gen had fun," Penny said and shuffled through about a foot of snow in the corridor.

[OOC: Change perspectives here.]


Kids.

"Hold up," Jonothan said and put his hand on both Penny and Regina's shoulder. He maneuvered himself in front of the both of them.

Kids. They don't know what they could be walking into. I can smell the fear a mile away.

The taller of the two, Penny, the talker stopped to open her mouth. Not that that was a surprise. But then she stopped. Maybe she does know her place. Maybe she does know that she doesn't know everything.

"I am your teacher, and I will take the lead," He said in the rough cowboy way that became something romantic and heroic in stories like The Gunslinger, "My job is to protect you, the student. If something happens, you get out. And if you don't listen to me, you will find out why I have been called Fear."

"Nice," He heard her say.

Snow. We have elementals. The way the snow was pushed through, I'd say both girls were elementals. One creating the snow and one moving it out of her way.

Of course, what they came to wasn't so grand. The man who had put faith in him was laying motionless on the floor, almost dead.

Great. What a way to start my tenure. He moved to the desk to find the com device and called for the Infirmary to get to the office immediately.

"What do you girls know?" He turned to Gen and Alanna.



[/end Change]

For the first time in weeks, a teacher was finally stepping up. Penny wasn't sure if she really liked it. Somebody was actually going to keep a leash on the kids. Although, Regina was right, he is kinda cute in that mysterious cowboy way. Dammit, teacher crushes. Penny already had one on Logan who was cute in that Hugh Jackman kind of way.

"What happened guys," Penny knelt down to Xavier who was practically motionless. His mind what silent. There was no knocking on her brain.

OOC: You can TRY, but you're facing an opponent who's been trained since he was a child to use his powers to the best of his abilities, by the most powerful militaristic mutant on the planet. He hasn't even really touched on his upgrades yet, so yeah, try all you want. Won't work though ^_^

Pietro fell back a few feet with a grunt, his armor absorbing most of the impact. He looked at the human wrecking ball that Morgan had become, and thought for a moment. "Freeze," he muttered.

And with that, Pietro increased his precceptions to match his super speed. The debris that flew around the room slowed to a crawl, amost floating in the air. The shockwaves from Morgan's attack were indeed fast, Pietro could still see them moving despite the fact that he'd altered his perceptions to read time at nearly 1/100th the speed of normal. He circled around a safe distance from Morgan, thinking, occassionally poking at the field only to get pushed away. And yet, Morgan WAS still human, and if he was still alive, then that meant air could pass through his shield. Pietro grinned.

To the perceptions of a normal human, Pietro had begun running circles around Morgan at several times mach speed, so fast that it was impossible to tell exactly where he was in the blur that outlined his motion. The vortex created by this motion began to suck the air out of the middle, resulting in two things. First, the updraft would lift anything caught inside upward. Secondly, it would choke the breath of any living person inside, protected or not.

OOC: Ha! I do have a wireless modem ^_^

IC: The laughter of Pietro echoed about the Danger Room for many moments, as it seemed as though the two mad-men were playing a very dangerous game of chicken. Unfortunately, sound was a relatively slow energy force. Indeed, someone speaking into an radio will be heard by a receiver on the other side of the country before the sound reaches the ears of a person sitting at the opposite corner of the same room. And as Pietro's laughter continued to echo, he was already back up at the controls of the Danger Room.

"Amateur," he muttered as he trained a few of the lasers on Morgan. His shield would likely save him from the heat, but light obviously was able to make it through. As such, Pietro made no attempt to try and take Morgan out with these blasts. Instead, he aimed directly for his opponent's eyes, hoping to blind him, and get the drop on him completely.

{Well, technically my dad has a wireless laptop, but he deosn't let me use it. He's very protective of his computer stuff. But I plan on getting a job this summer, and since I'm 16 and living at home, I should be able to save up enough to get one for myself.

And Jack, did you see the most recent Enterprise episode, the one that takes place in the parellel universe where everybody's evil? Remember the Tholian Web, and what happened when a torpedo was fired at it? If you don't know, I'll tell you. The energy of the blast was absorbed and spread out across the ENTIRE thing, renedering it harmless. But just to make things interesting, I'll still make the room really bright from the blast, okay? And don't forget the NANITES!! Tissue regeneration, remember? And Morgan's still partially insane, so the field is still growing. Don't worry though, the masive power unleashed here will not be a regular occurence for Morgan. Then he'd be WAAAAAAYY to powerful. The only one of my characters with anything close to limitless powers is Ares, and only if he's plugged in to a power source. Literally.}


The blasts from the few laser cannons that were actually able to emerge impacted the expanding forcefield, and there was a flash like the light of a thousand suns, all burning in unison. Morgan screamed in pain, as the image of the bright light was burned onto his retinas, and then all went dark. The energy absorbed by the shield was reflected in all directions, blasting craters in the floor, and destroying equipment in the control room. The raw fury filled Morgan's mind, and the field grew, growing more garagntuan, with no regard for anything around it. The darkness that replaced his vision was conforting. At least he didn't have to see the destruction wrought by his hand.

Scion trudged through the snow, weak, weary, and beaten. He had found Gambit, though he wasn't in good shape. The containment breech....a mutant known as Omega Red had gotten loose and wreaked havoc all inside the facility, killing guard and mutant alike. Lucky for Scion he was able to free Gambit with some quick thinking. He must have fought with Omega Red for an eternity, he thought, allowing Gambit to escape with the plan's they had stolen. Magneto would be pleased about that, but would he be happy that Scion was still planetside?

Jacen didn't care if he would be happy or not. He felt satisfied that he helped his friend. Slowly, he kept on through the snow. He didn't know where he was going except that he was leaving that damned facility. The snow started to fall a bit harder now, almost blinding Scion. For warmth, he kept a small orb of energy smoldering in the palm of his hand. It worked for the most part. He had only been out in the cold for a couple of hours now, and thankfully there was no instances of frostbite. A testament to the uniform's design.

Scion took one ill advised step then found himself lying flat on his face. There was ice underneath him. Thick ice at that. This looks rather deep. I'll tread carefully, he thought as he slowed his pace even more to make it across the expanse. He had only taken a few steps then he got a familiar feeling. Slowly, he fell to his knees, grasping at his stomach again. Without warning, he vomited up nothing. Again, he did this. And again. Then, he felt something slip around his ankle, lift him high up in the air, then slam him down on the ice with a furious velocity. Scion could feel a few cuts on his face open up as he turned to look back. When he saw who it was, a forlorn look fell across his face. It was Omega Red, and he didn't appear to be too happy. Too happy with Scion, and just too happy in general.

The Russian mutant didn't say a word as he kept on slamming Scion harder and harder into the ice. Scion could hear it cracking under the combined strain of Scion being slammed down and Omega Red's weight. He was slammed again, this time right on his face. Scion stifled a scream of pain as he felt himself starting to black out. Just when he could feel consciousness fade from his mind, he let his arms fall groundward, and unexpectedly, he unleashed an energy blast that punched a massive hole in the ice. Both mutants fell into the ice cold water, and Jacen felt whatever was around his ankle slip away. Hopefully Omega Red's weight would make him sink faster and farther. A small hope, but Scion was too beat up to get out of the water. And so, he smiled a faint smile as he closed his eyes and let the frigid water envelope him. Slowly, he sank, but before he passed out entirely, he could have swore he felt a couple sets of hands grab his arms and pull him up.

OOC: Sorry bout this post. I had a better one but Gaia ate it that cockbiting whore. scream
