Dean Nixon
a.k.a. Myth  Dean entered the Danger Room. He hopped a few times and swung his arm around. Very minor warm ups. His mind was too chaotic right now. Distractions were what he needed at the moment. A way to calm the mind. "Archery Training." Dean spoke, giving the vocal command to the computer. The empty room became a lush forest with several targets scattered through out it. Sunlight poured vividly through the leaves giving enough light to see even the most distant of targets. The bow he summoned was nothing special. A normal wooden bow. It might have belonged to a legend or myth but there was nothing special about the bow. Not every weapon had special properties. The same went for the quiver on his back. It was filled but nothing remarkable was about them. Dean nocked the arrow and took aim for the nearest target. When he released the arrow it flew. It hit the target dead center. Repeating the same action for the next target resulted in the same outcome. Dead center. Dean decided to skip a few and aimed at the last target. A slight wind rolled through the forest. He had to make a correction to his aim for compensate for that. Nocking another arrow he changed the angle of his aim.Aiming much higher than his target would allow for the arrow to reach greater distance. He also aimed slightly next to it. The wind would push or rather...guide the arrow to its target. When Dean released the arrow it did exactly as he wished. It hit the center. Not the dead center but still the area of the center. He took a moment to think about it. Everything he had done prior to firing this arrow, all the training he went through, all of the hardships. All of that allowed him to do this. His projection was his only power. The rest is all earned through hardships and training. He had traveled, studied the many myths and legends across the world. Training with various masters. Made every skill encounter his own. All through pure effort. It made him have less respect for someone like Sebastian. There was no doubt about it that he was a great man and Dean would trust his life to him but his ability simply copies what other people have worked so hard for to attain. He took his mind off of that subject. He came here to clear his mind not clog it up with more information. But his previous thought did bring him some comfort. Even if the Reaper took his power. The knowledge of the myths and legends would not come with it. That is all his own, things that he has learned. Even if the guy did study up a bit, he would never be able to summon all the things that Dean could. His versions would be easily destroyed.

my name is Shadow Walker The couch in the study was empty. Shadow Walker had emerged under the coffee table. Her feet stuck out from underneath. She was wearing a tank top with a pair of panties. She dreamt of being in the coffin again. Her breath was stuttering as the water surrounding the coffin in her dream was filling it quickly.

a.k.a. Warp 
Warp was spacing out while he listened to the coffee maker begin to make the coffee when he heard struggled breathing from the living room. He leaned over the counter to see Calamity sleeping on the couch and twitching feet coming from out of the coffee table. He sighed and walked through the counter, using his power to phase through, reached his arm through the table and pulled Shadow Walker by her tank top up through the table and after she was through it solidified again and he dropped her lightly on the table assuming the jarring movement would wake her.
"Shadow Walker, wake up," Warp snapped. "You're having a panic attack while sleeping..." Under his breath he muttered as he waited to see if she woke up, "How is it even possible to give yourself a panic attack while still sleeping?"

Affiliation: Genosha Brotherhood
Location: Outside of Apartment, looking for Warp, Genosha.
Power: Magnetokinesis (Minimal Control)~~~~~ Calamity woke up and looked towards the source of the noise. Warp was standing over the coffee table, and Shadow Walker was sleeping on it. He pulled himself up, rubbing his eyes. "What..." he started, but yawned widely. Instead of finishing his sentence, he leaned back on the couch. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, thinking he'd best leave whatever it was to them.~~~~~ Dark Calamity

my name is Shadow Walker The jarring movement did wake her and she gasped her for air. Her eyes looked around wildly. When she realized she wasn't alone she tried to be modest by stretching down her tank top over her panties. She explained not looking toward Warp, "... I was having that terrible dream again... my being in the coffin and the water was seeping in... I was drowning.... um... excuse me..." it felt a little weird, embarrassed, more like explaining herself in her panties. She emerged in the study and put her jeans back on and stepped out the door. "much better" she said to herself. "I'm sorry if I've worried you sir."

a.k.a. Warp
Warp raised a brow at her explanation and sighed as she reappeared dressed in jeans finally. "Ah, and it is back to sir," He said. "You make me feel old. If I am a 'sir' you need to start calling Blink 'ma'am'. On record in Genosha, she is two years older than me. Regardless, I suppose I should get Raven to work on that light bed of yours... you can work with her on that while I'm gone. I doubt you have much interest in camping... I owe my sister a favor so I figured we would have an outing on the outskirts of the island at one of the beaches. At least the weather is universally nice here... even now, and it is technically Winter."
As he spoke he opened his cabinet and pulled out an oversized mug and poured himself some coffee which he poured ample amounts of sugar into. "By the way, I made coffee... feel free to have some. That of course applies to you as well, Calamity, unless you would rather sleep." Warp had noticed that Calamity had woken up and was feigning sleep at the moment, and figured he should address the kid as well.
"And for the record, it isn't seen as too horrible or weak to chose to get memories erased if they do bother you too much," Warp added. "I know Erid chose that route to block out most of her memories of being in MRD care and chose to forget everything about her past before she was labeled as a "mutant". Eris didn't but I think Erid is the happier of the two: many do claim 'ignorance is bliss'. And, I know people who have considered the option for a lot less horrific memories than drowning in a coffin or being MRD lab rats."

Location: Outside of Apartment, looking for Warp, Genosha.
Power: Magnetokinesis (Minimal Control)~~~~~ Calamity exhaled deeply. "Thanks." he said in response to Warp's offer of coffee. "But we don't like coffee." he said in reference to himself and Dark.
He thought about what Warp said about camping. Calamity had never been camping. He wondered what it was like.Probably like what we've been doing, living alone. chimed in Dark in their shared mind.
I bet it would be more... I don't know... happy? Less threat of people killing your or maybe a higher chance of the next meal?Maybe. That could be fun. "Yeah." Calamity accidentally said out loud. He wanted to go camping. But this was for Warp and his sister, so he really didn't want to intrude.What if we said we wanted to help look out for the prisoner? Make sure she didn't try anything funny.I don't know.~~~~~ Dark Calamity

a.k.a. Warp
"I do have sugar..." Warp said with a shrug after adding his eighth scoop of sugar to his 24 oz mug. "Seriously, how can you not like coffee?" He shook his head finding it easier to ignore Calamity's off comments and not address the dual personalities the guy had, "If it wasn't for coffee I would probably have died of sleep deprivation a long time ago... well, more coffee for me," He ended with a raise of his mug. "And I should set you up with Blink to walk you through the housing system. You probably should stick to this side of town until you learn the city better, so I'll have her find you something in this area. I don't want any other complications to arise from you getting mixed up with our bad eggs."
He glanced back at Shadow Walker after he spoke to Calamity, wondering about whether she would take his offer to arrange for her memories to be erased. As he watched her he sipped on his coffee- more sugar than coffee- as he leaned against the counter.

my name is Shadow Walker "Sorry, old habit of mine I guess." She responded softly. Warp made a good point. Why didn't she address Blink in a similar manner? Probably because she saw Warp as an authority and her not so much. At this point in time she saw her as some jealous woman that's out to get some form of dirt on her to score points with Warp. She shrugged it off and sighed a little as Warp continued. She heard him mention taking his sister camping, she thought out loud softly "Well I don't know if I would like camping or not, I've never been." she rubbed her arm a little. "No coffee for me thanks I could never get it to taste right." As Warp continued he mentioned having her memories erased. It sounded like a good idea at first especially with almost drowning in the coffin. She took a moment to think about it as Warp and Calamity continued. "I don't know Warp. I'm not sure if it would simply get rid of the dreams I've been having. What if subconsciously they try to remind me of what happened? Then it'd be like I wouldn't know why I was having these dreams of drowning in a confined space. On top of that how far back should I go? The fuel for the rage I have against the humans is because of all the years of getting beat up, shunned and food in my hair. If I give those up I'd for sure would have second thoughts about why I joined the Brotherhood in the first place. I dunno perhaps I'm over thinking this…"

Power: Magnetokinesis (Minimal Control)~~~~~ Calamity narrowed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling, still lying on his back. He raised arm to hit and clenched a fist."I will always hate humans." said Dark maliciously, with a deep voice not natural to Calamity.That was one of the few things Dark and Calamity agreed on. They would always hate humans for what they did.~~~~~ Dark Calamity

a.k.a. Warp "I... uh..." Warp started when Shadow Walker mentioned about camping. "My sister is um difficult in a way and it probably wouldn't be all that fun for you. A lot of swimming, maybe a couple of campfires, getting bitten by insects, and eating picnic like food..." He glanced away, trying to turn suspicion away from him and his trip. The less people he had around the easier it would be to work with Physik.
"Anyways... about forgetting memories," He said glancing back, "It actually depends on who does the work and what you want. For example, Erid chose to forget all memories of her life till she found out her power and block out all of her time at the MRD besides the knowledge she was an MRD lab rat and the Brotherhood's rescue of her. Her sister, Eris, chose to keep all of her memories, which are practically identical. In many ways I would say Erid is the happier of the two. I never heard mention that Erid was ever bothered by nightmares after that."
Warp sighed as he finished off his mug of coffee and began to pour himself another one, "To tell you the truth it is hard for even me to actually hate all humans. I'm not particularly fond of any humans but there are a few I probably don't hate..." He let out a short laugh, "I guess I am a bad role model. Especially considering I loved my sister even when I thought she was only human. Of course, she was cuter once upon a time... now she's just..." He shook his head trailing off muttering various things in Latin and a few words in Spanish, though not enough to be made into any sort of coherent description. "Anyways, she's still my little sister. And since our no good parents officially disowned her when they found out she was a homo-superior, I'd be the next one responsible for her, right?"

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker looked down as Warp continued about camping. It was more stuff that she missed out on for being upper class. She sighed to herself she didn't mean to come off as inviting herself, oh no. "Warp, I'd like to go sometime, since it's something I've never done before. Of course not this time seeing that you want to spend time with your sister and I do not wish to intrude upon that." All because she showed interest in the matter did not mean that she wanted to go on this trip specifically. Though it sounded fun she knew Warp wanted to spend some time with his sister which to her seem to be the brotherly thing to do. She frowned to herself as he continued about memories. Now that she just got them back does she really want to lose any of it? Would it really benefit her or cause even more confusion down the road? "Perhaps I'll talk to Erid if I can find her." As he continued about hating all humans to posing the question. "Well my two cents is yes in some ways, but if she is as old as I am shouldn't she be able to... I don't know take care of herself. Being 18 we're technically no longer minors."

a.k.a. Warp
Warp raised a brow at Shadow Walker's interest and said, "Sure... I used to go out camping or to the beaches quite a bit here... I sort of miss it. I used to go camping a lot before I joined the Brotherhood. Ah, back when I had free time..."
Setting down his empty mug, he continued, "Erid's number is on my phone. We work together a lot on the Latin curriculum. Unlike me, though, she would care if you badmouthed Blink. I am not blinded to Blink's faults, like she is. Erid is Blink's part time stalker and honestly thinks Blink is flawless in every single way. I think it is funny."
"Anyways, about my sister and her age," Warp added his tone turning to distaste, "She obviously can't be trusted to make good decisions on her own: she joined the X-men. Age is just a number. Nothing magically makes you more capable or wiser one day after your eighteenth birthday. I am her big brother and it is my job to take care of her or make sure she is properly cared for. That responsibility never ends."

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker couldn't help but feel that he was building a cage around his sister and she wasn't referring to to the one she's already kept in. "You mean, you are going to take care of her for the rest of her life and not let her stand on they're own two feet? For a lot of parents this is the time where their child has to go to college in a dorm and know they will have to let them go. That they're role has changed from caretaker to advisor/friend. What if the circumstances were the same and she was human. Would you prevent every guy from coming to see her, preventing her from finding the right one because you simply don't trust her judgement? Even if she found the right guy would you simply prevent her from marrying him because he doesn't meet your approval? I guess what I'm getting at is…where is the line drawn? "

a.k.a. Warp Warp laughed, "You act like she is actually in the market for dating. Even before she had her power she wasn't really that interested in dating. She was getting love notes and gifts at least once every week since she was thirteen. She was the one always turning them down-guys and girls. I had nothing to do with that."
"If she was human, it would be a very different situation," Warp continued. "Magneto made a gamble with me. He knew my loyalty lay with my sister... and if she had turned out to be human, in the end, I probably would have sided with the X-men and protected the humans, but that wasn't the case."
"I honestly don't care excessively about her dating life, in general," Warp continued, clearly annoyed. "She can chose to date anyone she wants... It would be awfully hypocritical of me to force dating rules on her considering how far I have moved through my quite lengthy holodex. My protection over her is not related to her choices in hook-ups, or lack there of, but it is about keeping her safe from harm. I did say that my job is to take care of her or make sure she is properly card for. The type of guy she would actually be interested in dating isn't the type I could reasonably forbid, and I wouldn't."
