Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

( Collapse )

Gambit had been away from the mansion for too long, Xavier had sent him to see if he could do something about the increase in mutant hate crimes back home in Louisiana. It had been a boring trip really. One or two good fights.

Pulling his motor cycle up to the garage he hopped off and headed to the rec room to get some food

Monet had a smile on her face as she read a quite interesting part in her book. She floated up into the air and sat on a tree. Her leg swinging slightly as she read on. As she was engrossed in her book, she heard the flap of wings and she smiled wider,but focused on hiding it, though her stomach was swirling.

Kitty walked outside and stretched. She felt exhilarated as she walked around in her low cut shirt and her hip hugger jeans. She looked around the school grounds for anyone she knew. As she was heading towards the lake, she thought she heard someone heading towards her...</i>

It had been a week since Bobby had left the Xavier institute and he was almost out of money. To supplement his living costs he had taken to theft. It was easy really burn a hole in the back wall of a shop take the till and fly away. He was wondering to himself as he lay on his bed how long it would be before one of the do gooders from the institute came looking for him. He was sure it was onyl a matter of time. But they would be too late, he had gotten a better offer.

Smiling to himself he reminded himself once more that he was in the Borhterhood of Mutants now and he was working for Magento. Magento had told him in time Bobby could come stay at his complex but for now he had to prove himself. Bobby was wondering how he could do that when he heard a creak in the hallway out side.

Gambit stepped out of the danger room with a smug grin on his face. He had set a new record on the fighting simulator and could'nt wait until Logan found out. Humming a cajun festival song to himslf he wandered down the corridor.

Kitty walked into the sunlight on a calm afternoon outside the mansion. Her skin accepting the sunlight as it caressed across her shoulders and legs. She walked to the middle of the yard and closed her eyes as she listened to the gentle tones of music floating through her headphones into her ears. Suddenly, the music picked up including more heavy tones from the bass and cello's and she flicked her eyes open with an evil glint in them and flew upwards spinning in the air until phasing and landing in a handstand position in the air. She started doing back flips on the air until landing after a 360 degree layout. The heavy notes of music faded slightly as all the music nearly stopped except for a slight drum playing in the background. Kitty let herself fall, then as it picked back up, she stopped herself from hitting the ground, landing only a few inches from the ground. She back-flipped off the air and landed in a the splits. With the music playing in her ear and being in her own world, she didn't realize that someone was coming up behind her...

Nova sat in the grassy area just outside the mansion walls with a light bulb in front of her. She grabbed a couple of batteries out of a pile next to her and instantly sucked all their energy out. Her eyes began to glow blue and she bit down on her bottom lip. It hurt a bit every time she did it, but if she was going to be in a crowded area like this school she needed to get her powers under control to keep everyone safe or at least to keep the lights from flickering. She'd gotten far enough since she left home that she could decide when she wanted to feed her energy into something in most situations, rather than just feeding it into the closest conductive surface. As for controlling where she got it from or how much she put in, it was still uncontrollable. She stared at the light bulb in front of her, looking quite out of place in the grass. She took a deep breath, put out her hands, and... BANG! Yet another failure to control how much she put out. She frowned and tossed the light bulb into the pile on the other side of her. It seemed she was going to waste all of the little money she had on light bulbs and batteries. She didn't have much to spend that money on though, Kitty had been nice enough to give her all the clothes she'd ever need and the school fed her, so the money might as well go to protecting the students. No that money had to go to getting herself under control, there was no "might as well", she wasn't going to kill someone again. But how did you do this powers thing anyways? Was Nova just the freak that couldn't control it? Was she just not trying hard enough, was she just being a baby about it? No, she couldn't be the freak, Scott couldn't control himself, he had to wear a visor. "Oh, only if it were only that easy for me!" she cried out loud as she put her hands to her head and laid back in the grass, careful not to knock over any of her piles.  She was the dangerous one that couldn't control her powers though. Sure, Scott could kill someone but he could protect people from it, but she could kill people easily with a static shock! "Maybe coming here was a mistake," Nova sighed, sitting back up. Just as she was contemplating how she'd back out of coming to the school she heard footsteps in the grass. She turned around, startled, and her hand knocked over the whole pile of batteries. Before she could say anything she'd already taken in all of the energy from the pile and her eyes were glowing wildly. Well, I'm screwed.

Bobby's face twisted with spite as he looked at this x men uniform. He was tired of it all, tired of the rules, tired of taking orders. However most of all he was tired of Cyclops. He was infuriating, the guy acted like he alone ran the xmen. Some leader, he wasn't exactly the most powerful on the team. Why should he rule. His eyes misting over Bobby began to fade to black as he burst into flames. With a grimace he watched his suit incinerate on the spot. He was no longer an xman. He was a man, his own man. He was Sunspot.. and he didn't need anyone. 

Powering down he slung his bag over his shoulder and made his way to the exit. 

open to anyone

Gambit had been away for a few weeks now for reasons known only to the professor, wolverine, jean and cyclops. He had been investigating the rumours that a super serum that gave normal humans superhuman strenght existed. The kind of serum that was used to create captain america. It was true all right and what was more it was going on auction in the criminal circuit soon enough. He walked through the main doors of the institute whistling cheerily as he looked arounf for someone to talk to
