Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I can clear the rubble so we can get out of here fast," Said Zack as he made a fist and drew back his arm, focusing on the other chunk of rubble he had not cleared away. He made a punching motion, and the rubble lifted off the ground and flew out of the way, landing far away, off the students. One large rock was left though, it was on top of the leg of Principle Kelly. "If you can use your powers to lift Rio to the van, i need to talk to the principle, i have a feeling that hye has some explaining to do. And i'll find Porter myself, just make sure that Rio makes it, i owe my life to him, everyone in x-nation does. I won't let the cops catch me, they never have."

She didn't open her eyes, she just listened. Her extra senses were gone. She couldn't tell how many people were in the room. No smell. No smell but the sweaty smell that poured off her own body.

She couldn't tell if Regina was there. You wouldn't think that shadows had a scent, but Penny could smell it on her friend. It was something weird, not of this reality. Not bad and not good. It just was. And that wasn't present at the moment. Teagan had that slight venom smell when she first met her, knew she was a mutant immediately. And Jacen... well she wouldn't get into that. She had to focus and well, thoughts of prom at the moment were distracting. She had to rely on other things.

The power dampener was making her body think she was normal, no extra kicks. Her only benefit was that she could keep the telepaths out of her head... maybe they didn't notice yet.

Speak up, I want to hear you... ah... there you are...

She finally strained herself enough that she could hear what they were saying. The room sounded somewhat large. She had a feeling that she wasn't the only prisoner in the room from the sound of the mad men talking.

"Are you sure these are who he wanted. We could have gotten that fire mutant. He-" One of them started.

"Would be too distructive. He will be detained when Ahab moves down the list. He is dangerous," Another said and it sounded like he tapped on a computer, "These are the ones he wants. Frost, Augurey, and Mr. Twilight are all untrained. They are easy for us to bend. Their powers will be heightened and suit us very very well. Juno, she won't be easy but she will break. We'll make her wolverine without the claws and skeleton. But Scion, once broken he will be the real treat. Mutants beware."

An alarm went off, "The base is being compromised near the subentry. Quickly, get start the process to turn these five into hounds. Get security down there now!"


Penny opened her eyes and somebody was coming at her hard with a telepathic hold. Her arms were pinned so tightly behind her that she couldn't move them. God her head hurt. She saw somebody grab Gen and Penny screamed, "Leave her alone, she's just a kid."

"Sir, she's avoiding the telepathic holds," One of the lab techs said as Penny jutted her feet out tripping up one of the men. At least dampeners didn't make her forget her training. Penny growled, "You won't get met hat easily."

"Shut up," Somebody said from her behind and struck her hard with something that really hurt. Penny fell forward and hit her face off the cement floor. She watched as the pulled Gen into some other room, "Gen, don't let them break you."

Pietra sighed and ignored his/her sister for a moment, hoping that she'd be distracted enough by the emminent demise of her friend that she'd forget about making him/her miserable for a moment.

'Sup dad, we've got a bit of an issue here. First of all, I'm here with Wanda...

Well we've planned for this contingency son. I'll be sending the cyanide caplet now.

Who are you calling "son"? Er, I mean, nevermind on that suicide order dad. There are bigger things going on, those military ******** you mentioned just swept down all over my moment of glory, and I can only assume they've picked up a bunch of Xavier's brats, and probably some of our own. Should we go play rescue or something?

Hmm... I've managed to hear quite a bit about our new friend since our last discussion, Pietro. In fact, that mole I planted in Xavier's has proved most useful. I know who you're up against, and where you can find them... just watch them for now.

And what do I do about Wanda?

Just keep her from killing you, and do NOT allow her the knowledge that I may soon be involved. My plans for her always did extend beyond simply committing her, after all...

Pietra had been keeping cool the whole time, not letting on to the telepathic communication s/he'd been holding. "So Wanda... what if I were to tell you how we might be able to find your little friend? Would you make these breasts go away? Or at least, make them bigger? I'm honestly not sure which one I want more..." s/he said, the hormones wrecking havoc on his brain.

Zack knelt over Kelly and said, "You have some fast talking to do, and don't try to deny that you let Ahab do this, we have a extremely reliable source who pins you as a rat to many govrnment agnecies. So I'm buying any crap about you having nothing to do with this." "But...but," Kelly said, obviously intimidated by the geo-morph's abilities. "I just want to know, why did you do it and what the hell is goning to use them for?" "I don't have to anwser to you, you filthy mutant," Kelly said, his true personality showing. "Zack sighed as he twisted his hand, and the rock on Kelly's leg did the same. "Agggggggghh, ok, ok," Kelly said as the rock began to dig into his skin and muscle. "That's better," Zack said as he untwisted his wrist. "Cause i'm not going to let these kids go tru what i did, it's to horrible for anyone, and you may have just sentenced them to it." "I did it because i didn't want your kind mixing in with good, honest humans." Kelly said. "We would be honest about what we are if we weren't prosacuted for it as soon as we did," Zack counter. "And i don't know what he's using them for, i really don't!"

"Fine," said Zack as he got up and waved his hand, sending the rock on Kelly's leg flying of it. "Just remeber, what you and many others are doing is exactly like Hilter and the Jews, and remember what happened to Hitler and the Nazis." With that, Zack made tendrils of plant vines sprout from the ground and wrap aroun Kelly's leg, not hurting him, but rendering him imoblie. "Tell no one about this conversation, or I will find you, if only to keep my friends safe." Zack said as walked over to a lump of rock dust and waved his hand, as if sweeping it away, which is what happened, and under the dust was Rio's bike, still in perfect condition. "God I love Adamentium," Zack said as the earth itself pushed the bike into an upright positon. Zack got on and started it up, lokking at the GPS on the bike. He spoke into his com badge, "Porter, this is Zack, i need to know where you are, just give me a building."

Sorry professor, Zack thought knowing full well that he could here him, I just got a little angered by the thought of what they might do to the other kids. I guess it was just a little to close to home, but it won't happen again i promise. Zack looked over at Kelly who cringed a bit when he was looked at. Zack sighed as the plants unwraped themselves from around his leg and Zack reved (sp?) the engine, ripping out of the parking lot.

I still need to work on my anger, need to talk to Rei again about meditation he thought as he tried to contact Porter again for his location, "I know my abilites are probably not well suited for sneaking around, but i could still cause one hell of a distraction for you guys."

Wanda knew Freya wasn't the fighting type. Or at least, she never looked or acted like one. She waited a moment, hoping that she will come join her thanks to her spirit friends. But she didn't. Since that brother of hers seemed to know something, she turned and looked at him. "It will depend on how good your information is."


What Wanda didn't know is that Freya wasn't the type to wait around to be rescued. Knowing she was being watched, she carefully looked around like any prisonner would after being captured. Small room. Wet and cold. The best installations ever. She looked through the small window. Isolated from the rest of the captured ones. But if someone is next to my cell, maybe we can communicate since stone isn't the best isolation.

But she rather prefered to get out. She was seeing a guard passing through her cell at an interval of 5 minutes so he was mostly checking the whole corridor. How would she get his attention...?

While the team made it about halfway acrossed the footbridge, Porter felt his com device vibrating in his pocket. He was gld Xavier put a 'silent stalking through an enemy base ring' on the things. He looked ahead of them and and answered.

He listened to Zack. As if the other X-Men won't be distraction enough... just maybe Zack will be useful to me.

"Zack, the other X-Men are going in as well up above to get out information and to level this place. If you can create something a mile or so down the road, that may give them the needed cover as well. It's much easier to break in and blow up if nobody is shooting at you. Can you handle it?"

He shook his head back towards Blackout, "When we make it to the end, dim the lights for us."
