Summary of events of last thread: The mutant city was attacked by the elite Renegade forces. Each side was unprepared, and each side suffered heavy wounds. Fortunately, there were no casualties but members from both teams have been left in critical condition.

Adam Underwood, the group leader of the Renegades, was severely wounded and left behind in the Mutant city. Jonathan Matthews was severely injured during the fight, and was left in a comatose state. He is expected to recover in several weeks.

The most disturbing events were witnessed by David Anderson, however. He interfered in the battle between Michael and Jonathan, and discovered Jonathan's true nature.

Jonathan Matthews, the humble-appearing leader of the Mutants, is a fraud. His amazing telepathic powers have driven him to a state of partial-insanity, where he has no respect for human life. He has been working in secret for the past few years perfecting a weapon to further his cause... However, no one knows what it is he's striving for.

During the battle, David Anderson was mind-controlled by Jonathan. He attempted to kill Michael, but was unsuccessful. The mind-control had left him in an unconscious state, and had blurred his own memories with Jonathans. He does not remember that Jonathan had mind-controlled him, however he does remember what Michael had said to him, and how Jonathan had failed to defend himself.

His memories are blurred, and he is very confused. He doesn't know whether to trust Michael, or Jonathan. He can no longer trust anyone, as he does not know who's side they are on.

Meanwhile, there is still increased tension in the Mutant City. Everyone is worried about Adam. Would the Renegades leave their second-in-command, or would they be coming back for him?

***

Story (What will be happening in this RP):

The mutants do not know that their leader is corrupt, only David does. Adam is left behind on the Mutant city, and the Renegades don't know what will happen to him. As all the Renegades have been evacuated, there is no one left in the city to inform them of his condition.

Two weeks have passed since the fight. Nearly everyone is recovered with the help of the advanced medical facilities, however Jonathan is still in a coma.

Adam Underwood is still recovering from his wounds, but is confined in his room and under heavy guard.

David Anderson has become somewhat of a recluse. His colleagues have noticed the change in him, but have been somewhat hesitant to confront him. Everyone was shaken up by the battle, and they all assume that David was under a lot of stress. He is deep in thought, contemplating what to do and how he should proceed.

Rules
If you read the first two posts of the original two threads, you should know the rules by now. I will not go over them again.

GM's:

Black.Ice - PM me for any questions regarding the story and whether a side-plot you would like to do is acceptable. Basically, anything about the RP, you can PM me about.

Calibur - PM him for any questions regarding the Mutants and Renegades. For example, what has happened, etc. etc.

Since EnderWiggin has left us (unfortunately), we do not have a specialized GM for the Renegades. However, if I deem one necessary, I'll be asking for volunteers.

What do do in this RP:

Renegades - The Renegades are all at an organized dinner. Members from the community are there, as well as the team. It's a social dinner. The 200 mutants who were stationed in California have been successfully brought back to the Island.

Talk amongst one another. Do a little bit of character development in this short timeframe. Don't leave the dinner or do something off by yourself. I want everyone to stay with one another and "mingle".

Mutants - SHIELD and everyone else, including David, is in the kitchen. A lot of people are there, and everyone is simply talking with one another. Pretty much the same circumstances as the Renegades above. I want you to develop your character emotionally. Discuss how you feel, etc.

Currently, everyone is in a deadlock. Each side is at a stand-still, and unable to move forward.

This thread is going to be revolving around certain characters.

Jonathan, Michael, Adam, David and a few other are the main characters. This is your chance to develop your characters and get to know each other better, etc.

More information will be provided as this continues!

(OOC:......)

[ZeroCross]

Warboards Screen Name: ZeroCross

Character Name: <Unknown>
Codename: (Must have one) Lumina
Alignment: (Mutant / Renegade) Renegade
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Weight: 170 lbs
Height: 5' 9"
Mutant Abilities: Control over light. Can create light from any direction that he can visibly see, can make objects glow, or alter color for certain periods of time. Higher level skills that include more focus, stamina, practice, or higher level include being able to focus light into a solar energy, causing heat, or even focus the power of light into a fine laser. Power seems to be connected with solar phases. As with sunspots or solar flares, the power has become erradic, stronger, and seemingly nearly uncontrollible.

Physical Appearance: Caucasian with medium red hair with a ponytail, a very light beard (somewhat of a mullet), and a muscular well fit physique, though he is nothing in the line of super strength or agility.

Any Equipment / Weapons / Etc: Sunglasses and a trusty pocketknife.

Character Personality: Although he looks a bit cold and lonewolf-ish on the outside, don't let it fool you, he is normally pretty laid back and freindly, and enjoys workign with others as well as working alone. Occasional mood swings can set him into a more cold "badass" mode though.

Normally one to avoid confrontation if at all possible, Lu prefers to think strategicly, and let his opponents come to him, and rather react. If life was a video game, Lumina would be the guy that sets proximity mines all over the levels and makes 15 kills before breaking out the sniper rifle to make another ten.

If he is forced into a close-quarter combat, although it is not his style, or his greatest streangth, Lu can still handle himself quite well. He normally tries to abide by the rules, but of course, Lu has very little quams about fighting dirty whenever he feels the perogative.

His powers however, come at a price. Lu is very sensitive to light, so he must constantly wear his sunglasses in the daytime. Without sunglasses, a moonlit night is as day, and day is unbearibly bright. This of course, makes it so he can see in the dark more easily, but hey, when you're a human flashlight anyways, that's not too much of a bonus.

Character Biography: Before the age of 16, when he woke up in a shelter after his parents were killed in a burning building, Lumina has no memory of his past. Amnesia has clouded everything before that time. Unknown to Lu, is that it was his powers that went out of control that started the fire.

Lu lived pretty much off the pity of charities until he was 17, then he decided he had learned enough to make it on his own. Living wherever and with whoever he could, he had somewhat morally questionable means of surviving, but hey, can ya blame him?

After his powers accidently torched a diner, he started to really run from the authorities. Fortunatly, Prescot found him first. (If renegade, then he simply moved into the island when prescot left. If mutant, He refused to get engauged in the war between the two men at that time, because he felt uneased, by the motives of both, and did'nt want to get invovled in something he did'nt understand, so he just chilled out in the city and avoided the conflict on Mathew's side. I leave it up to the GM where to go from here, as well which of the two teams I will be on.)

Skills: Moderate ability with a sword and melee weapons, Fighting ability is a good to very good-level street brawl style, very experienced with shooting, but only in arcade games, driving ability is fair to good, light experience with electronics, excellent experience in lock-picking and the like, moderate to fair skill with computer.



Lumina
Renegade
Dinning Hall
~~~~~

Lumina walked through the hallways, occasionally rubbing his back for a moment, bandaged up after the fight, it still hurt now and then. He thought to himself, "Damn are we lucky we got out of that one alive, except for Adam. Damnit, we were'nt ready, and Adam payed the price. I wonder what's become of him..." Suddenly, Atwa came up to him, saying, "Hi Lu!"

Lu jumed back, officialy startled. "Ahh! Don't do that!"
"So how are you feeling?"
"I was fine until just now..."
"What's up for dinner, do you know what they're up to?"
"It's a buffet Atwa, and no, I don't."
"Ah, right. I keep forgetting how some people get freaked out by eating certain foods."

Suddenly, a smirk comes across Lumina's face, as he recalls a small incident. Atwa asks, "Thinking about it?"
"About what?"
"The time you snuck a peice of beef into Jerilyna's salad?"
"Ah yeah, that was damn fun. Er, there was no evi-"
"Yeah yeah. You love pushing your luck don't you?"
"Not all the time, not like last night..."
"What about last night?"
"I blew it, I know I did."
"Look, you can't-"
"No, just...just never mind."

Lu brushes past her and makes his way into the dinning hall.

[Tag any renegade. Feel free to use Lu.]

Adam Underwood
Wraith
Renegades
---

A thin sheet of liquid had formed around the tanned skin of Adam Underwood. The thin, cotton, medical robe clung to his tired body, as he sat motionless in the bed staring at the ceiling. The hospital room was dimly lit, but enough to see the various medical machinery stationed next to him.

Thoughts ran through his head. Was everyone captured with him? Where were they? Did they leave without him? Why would they?

He felt abandoned, and alone. He was left alone, deep within enemy territory. He did not know what to do...


David Anderson
Mutants
Lucid
---

He traced his fingers along the fine wooden grain of the oak table in the cafeteria. Without much thought, he concentrated on it with his abilities feeling each individual ripple and knot in the wood.

With his left hand, he held a metal fork and randomly stabbed at the various garnishes and greens on his plate. He was hungry, but did not want to eat. His mind was immersed deep within thought.

Absent-mindedly, he pecked at his salad, and moved it around in the orange dressing and brought it to his mouth.

David continued to eat, and he looked around the cafeteria. Many people had shown up for dinner. No one from SHIELD was there yet, but he knew that they would be.

As Adam looked at the entrance, as if on cue, Jason walked into the cafeteria. Scanning the large room, Jason located David and acknowledged him. He quickly grabbed his dinner from the various buffet tables, and made his way to David.

"Hey," Jason said, as he pulled a chair and sat down.

"Hey," David replied, his tone low and without life.

Jason would have normally asked if David was feeling alright, but had stopped doing so in the past few days. David had been like this for several weeks now.

"How's it going?" Jason continued.

"Alright, I guess," David replied.

Jason and David began to eat again, and any bystander would have thought the two didn't know each other. After a few minutes, David turned to Jason.

"Jason, I have a question for you," David said slowly, his voice showing some signs of life.

"Yeah, what's up?" Jason replied, between a mouthful of food.

"Jason, do you trust me?"

<Tag Jason>

OOC: Sorry if I used your character. I'm going to be a posting maniac for the next few days. I had a case of writer's block, but I'm baaaaack.


ADD: Protoss_Honor, it would have been better if you PM'd the char to be, but no worries! I see no problem with your char; feel free join!

Also, it's 2 weeks after the fight.

Ramon Arriz
Acrobat
Mutant
--------------------------------

Ramon was still slightly limping after breaking his leg only 2 weeks ago, but he felt that he could resume a level of ability that he had previous to the day where all hell broke loose.

Ramon returned to his room after a long jog through the forest not far from the city. Feeling winded, he sat down on the floor and cooled off for a while. Feeling refreshed after a few minutes of sitting there, he decided to go to the gym and begin exercising his legs, to make sure they stay well tuned despite his injury. Despite doctor's orders, Ramon continued to push his limits as to how much work his leg can take, with no debilitating consequences yet.

Ramon walked calmly to the gym and went immediately to the leg lift machines. He sat down on the pad and began working his legs, starting with a high weight and working down. After that, his legs felt quite worked out, so he went and began doing sit ups to retone his abs, which were beginning to flab out since his legs were not up to doing sit ups or any workout whatsoever for that matter. He did these for about 30 minutes, and layed there, thinking about what what may have went down that day if he wasn't so calm about it all.

Shaking these thoughts away, Ramon knew that the only way to keep from thinking was to be working out. Upon this realization, he went and began working with some weights, toning his arms, which were getting to be as flabby as his abs were. Half an hour later, he went to the punching bags, and he began beating these punching bags with a fury that Ramon rarely ever imbued. Looking quite worried, he turned around to see if he was drawing any stares, and it finally occurred to him that he was alone in the gym. He stared at the clock for a few moments before the time set in: 3:00 in the morning.

Ramon went back to his room and took a shower, then sat in the middle of his floor and entered a deep meditation.

Cory Kreegon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Cory enters the cafateria (is that what we are eating in? I big cafateria?) and grabs a tray and fills it with food then finds a seat next to a guy taller than he is. "Hello I am Cory Kreegon may I sit here?" "Sure go right ahead, my name is Harry Thompson." "Pleased to meet you Harry." "Likewise, I see you like the food here." "Oh yeah, it is amazing." "Good thats good, How old are you?" "23. And you?" "24." "I see." Cory turns to his tray and starts shoving food in his mouth, in a nice, orderly fashion.

Jason Torrez
Raiden
Mutant
***********

Jason's fingers fumbled briefly with his noodle filled fork upon hearing David's request. A large smile crept through his calm expression clearly outlining each cheekbone in a smooth healthy layer of lightly tanned skin as he leaned forward into the table.

"Well what do you think Dave?" --He exclaimed casually before proceeding. "Look around you, ever since that day you've distanced your self from everyone and people have started talking. Yet I'm still here sitting right next to you, and I'm going to remain here."

Reaching deep into his plate Jason twirled his fork around the large stack of remaining noodles, slurping up each tender strand of pasta his utensil could hold in a loud unpleasant manner.

"So I'd say... yeah I trust you Dave."

-----------------------------------------------
I spent the next two weeks in a state of constant pain. I don't remember anything specific from those two weeks, except being woken up every so often so that they could crap some terrible hospital food down my throat.
Towards the end of the second week, the painkillers finally started to help, and I could go through longer and longer periods without feeling any pain.
Yesterday, Dr. uhh... what's his name.... you know, the bald guy?
...anyways, he told me that I could use a wheelchair for movement for the next few days or so, until I am fully recovered.
But the best news came this morning, when the nurse told me I'd be allowed to eat real food in the cafeteria.
Real food!
No more of that non-colored crap that they forced into me!
I waited anxiously for the nurse to say I could go, and when she did, I hurried as fast as my wheelchair could take me to the cafeteria.

John Sanders
Ravek
Renegades
__________________________
John slept fitfully, having a fever and very overfatigued. He had received almost no real wounds, but he also hadn't played a huge part in the fight. John couldn't think these thoughts, seeing as how he was passed out. It seems he had kept himself going through adrenaline, and once John had been able to sit down, passed out. And then he was brought to the back end of the hospital, just sleeping and an occassional check by a nurse.

~~~~~

After brushing past Atwa, Lu walked into the dinning room. The crew was still setting the table and preparing for the meals. Suddenly, Rekk came reeling into th eroom on his wheelchair. Seeing Lu in his path, Rekk turned his chair to the side, comming to a screeching halt at Lu's feet. Lu looks at him, saying "Well then, I take it you're feeling better? You got beat up pretty bad by that ox that ambushed you, I was surpirsed you made it." [Tag Mag!]

[Magmaniac]

Thomas Rekk

-------------------------------------
I wheeled into the cafeteria, and as soon as I bolted through the doors, I had to screech to a stop because someone was standing right in front of me.
After turning sideways to avoid smashing into him, I looked up and saw that it was Lu.
"Well then, I take it you're feeling better? You got beat up pretty bad by that ox that ambushed you, I was surpirsed you made it."
I gave him an annoyed lookk, then said calmly, "I'm hungry. Please get the fuck out of my way," and smiled.
He took a step back, and I continued my quest for nourishment.
---------------------------
I wheeled over to the table where Lu was sitting, and parked my wheelchair at the end of the table.
"Sorry about spazzing a little while ago. I haven't had any real food for a couple weeks."
<OMGZ I TAGZ TEH ZEROCROSS!!>

No PMing of me BI? I'm crushed. :(

Lumina
Renegade
~~~~~

Lumina smiled with a slight chuckle as Thomas pollitly expressed his desire to dine: "I'm hungry, get the fuck out of my way." Lu then replied, "Well, it seems your spirit's back up. Although you'll have to wait for the food, they're still preparing it." Thomas cusses something Lumina fails to catch. Lu then looks around, spotting an empty table, saying, "Comeon, this table looks ready and set."

Lumina removes a chair from one of the sides, allowing Rekk to wheel in, then sits down at the chair next to him. Rekk apologizes for his outburst, declaring his food was of poor quality. Lumina chuckles a bit saying, "Yeah, I had to put up with abotu a week of the nutri-grian stuff. It tastes like liquid cardboard, with extra staple sauce, but at least it helps. Seriously, you'd figure they would at least put some cherries in it or something."

Eventually, while playing with his silverware, the fork in peticular, Lu turns his head slightly toward Rekk, with his ful gaze, saying, "So, how many mutants did you fight? Did you take anyone out of commision?" [Tag you back! ha!]

Jessica Green
Telly
Mutants
~

Telly woke up quietly. She was staring up at the ceiling, and the cold, paneled ceiling tiles stared back at her. She had a flashback to laying in the hospital room, strapped down to the bed. The memory of pain edged into her mind, and suddenly her body locked up, becoming stiff and tense.

No, no, no! her mind screamed at her body. This had been happening every time she woke up since she was released from the hospital ward. Her body was in shock, and there was nothing she could do to escape this prison in her mind except wait for it to end.

This time I'll do something about it, she thought. She lifted herself off the bed and levitated over the floor. She closed her eyes tight and prepared for the pain, and then let herself drop. She hit the hard floor almost flat, bouncing a little. She let out a little yelp of pain and rubbed her bruised tailbone, which had taken most of the force of the fall. And then she realized what she was doing: moving. It had worked, the fall had shocked her body of it's petrified state.

She sighed and stood up. This has to stop, she thought. I need to see a doctor or something about it. Maybe some kind of perscription can help? She stripped her now sweaty clothes off and jumped in the shower. After a long shower, she tugged on a clean pair of jeans and threw on a t-shirt.

"Food time," she said, grabbing her bag of marbles and shoving them in her pocket on the way out of her room. She made her way to the cafeteria and grabbed a plate of food. Looking out at the tables and finding no one she knew, she sat down at an empty table and began eating. As usual she pulled out her marbles and floated them around her head as she ate, only using her hands to lift her fork to her mouth.

Jake Cowan
Thor
Mutants
~~~~~
Jake Cowan stumbled into the lunch room. Even though the whole complex was "lit" sufficiently by the electrical system, Thor still found himself in trouble whenever he tried to move around.
He walked in between the tables dodging fellow mutants and their ever-so-sacred food.
"Hot damn, I thought I had already got used to seeing this way" he muttered.

As he walked, he noticed some of the figures squirming away. It only took him a couple of seconds to realise they were doing so because of his eyes. His charred, useless eyes were little less than appealing, especially for people who were enjoying their meals. Without giving it a second thought, he put his shades on.

He had only walked up a couple of metres when he tripped. A bit shocked, he looked around to see what had knocked him down. He saw an energy signature walking down the aisle in a direction opposite to his. They had crossed paths only a few instants ago, but Jake was sure he had avoided it. Then he noticed the figure was moving rather oddly and it struck him. It was the cleaning lady. Muttering something about brooms and "fudging plastic" he sat down on the nearest table.

There were a couple of mutants on it, but he failed to recognise them. It wasn't until he heard a familiar voice that he knew who his company was
"Hey Jake" said Telly
<Tag GD and someone else>

Cory Kreegon
Star Streak
Mutant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cory finishes his tray of food and goes back and fills it up again. He sits back down next to Harry, and looks around the cafateria. He sees a mutant levitating a bag of marbles over her head and uses his own telekinesis and opens the back of marbles, makes several to float out, then he forms them into the word “HI” and then makes several more form into an arrow pointing toward him, and waits for her response. He hopes she notices soon because he is getting exhasuted holding the marbles in those complex shapes. (Complex for him, he only has a weak telekenisis)

[ZeroCross]

Damn Zelt, I fried your eyeballs? damn, now I feel bad about it :(

David finished his food, and smiled.

"Thanks, Jason. That's all I need to know right now,"

"Dave -- you gotta tell me, what's up these past few days? You haven't been yourself."

"Just a lot of stuff on my mind Jason,"

David pushed the chair back, and carried his tray of food towards one of the trash cans. He absent-mindly emptied it, and walked passed a Mutant whom he recognized.

"Hey David," they called out.

"Hey, how's it going?"

<Any Mutant can be that person who called me. Don't leave the Cafeteria. I want everyone to do some talking>

Harry Thompson

Cafeteria:

Harry was kinda quiet while he ate, not that it mattered. The man next to him was talking enough for the two of them. Harry finally finished and asked. "So, I've seen your Telekinesis, what other powers do you have?" Cory smiled. "Super-strength. I'm twice as strong as an average human. What's your power?" "Well, I can absorb and manipulate radiation on a whim." "Really? Cool, where do you get your radiation?" "Well, my main source is the sun, it expells countless amounts of Infared and Ultraviolet radiation, which are actually the main two I use anyway. So I get power from the sun all day, nomatter where I am, well unless there's lead in between myself and the sun that is." Cory took another mouthfull before speaking agin.

"So, wht do you do with it? The radiation I mean." "Well, I mainly use it to heal slightly, or use just the energy to strengthen or speed myself up. However I've found in combat it's quite usefull to expell small amounts of radiation to break an enemies concintration, thus making it hard for them to use their powers. Well I'm going to attack the desert buffet, if you'll excuse me." Harry walked off to pick up some desert…

[Whiteknight]

Warboards Screen Name: Whiteknight
Character Name: Jenny Freewell
Codename: (Must have one) Hack
Alignment: (Mutant / Renegade) Renegade

Gender: Female
Age: 22
Weight: 95 lbs.
Height: 4' 5"

Mutant Abilities: Semi-conductive abilities (able to control currents to manipulate electronic machines to an extent by manually adjusting transistors)

Physical Appearance: Small, frail, a person who would seem insignificant at first glance if someone were to proceed even that far. Occasionally able to pass as a child under the right circumstances. Stunted growth during adolescence led to a weak adult. Dresses in youth clothes to fool those when needed, otherwise contents herself with a semi-loose t-shirt and jeans. Dark brown hair, caucasion skin, and a lack of any standout features allows her to fade away into a crowd, especially when aided by her small stature.

Any Equipment / Weapons / Etc: None. Jenny relies on the strength of others in a fight. She chooses only to be a peripheral participant in most battles, helping from the sidelines. Will occasionally perform reconnaissance.

Character Personality: Shy in social situations, but outgoing when there is work to be done, Jenny always pushes herself to her ability limits and beyond, aquiring new techniques and master her old ones. Keeping to her word is one of her most prized attributes; she rarely dedicates herself to a project she cannot handle.

Character Biography:

Born several weeks premature from a mother that died at birth, Jenny was expected to pass away before even a week ended. However, the young baby held onto dear life as if she had a purpose to attain, one that could not be acheived without her. She was released from the hospital in relatively good health, after increasing her weight to a healthy level, to her father, a secruity technician working for IBM.

Jenny's happiest days occured during elementary. Although short for her age even then, she and the other children still played all the normal activities that they enjoyed. However, as Jenny progressed through high school, she noticed that while her friends grew taller and taller she stayed quite the same height. Unfortunately, her friends also noticed this and were not quite that understanding.

Ostracized through junior high and high school, Jenny began to spend an increasingly significant time at computers. By the time she was 14, Jenny realized that computers acted abnormal for her. Working at a computer came quite naturally and they seemed to respond to her every whim in a flash, sometimes before she even touched the mouse.

Slowly, a whole new world opened up for Jenny. By the age of 16, Jenny was experimenting with new ways to control computers, testing distances, objects blocking the path, and every conceivable test imaginable to her. She even realized that, in addition to computers, she could control anything electronic.

At the age of 17, Jenny's fury at being outcast began to emerge from the well it had been plunged into. Revenge creeped into her brain and filled her with dark thoughts. Eventually, Jenny snapped. Using her personal computer at home, she infiltrated the school's network. One by one, she changed her classmate's marks, replaced electronically submitted essays with vulgar works, destroyed every personal computer in her class, every dark deed she could to do perhaps even dent the life of those who could so easily condemn another.

By now this was small kittens. Jenny hungered for more, harder challenges. She soon set her sights on a high prize: IBM. On her graduation from high school, at the age of 18, Hack (as she had become known among several groups) began her conquest of breaching IBM's secret documents. Small firewalls perished in her presence. Eventually she reached the state of the art firewall: The Beast.

The beast was specifically designed by IBM to be impenetrable. Already dozens of the most prominent hackers had tried to break it but had failed miserably. Jenny knew that she was no ordinary hacker and began work. 1s and 0s surged through her brain and danced pass her eyes as she relinquished her keyboard. Her computer acted as a conduit for her thoughts. Jenny slowly began to take control of The Beast and brought down it's defences. It fell before her eyes, substituted by a warm, glowing screen that welcomed her to the IBM confidential database.

Sweat dropped from her forehead as Jenny realized that she had reached the pinnacle of her hacking career. She slumped in her chair and turned off the computer, saddened and triumphant at the same time.

A year passed. Jenny took up a dead-end job at the local McDonalds, tired of a life with no prospect that appealed to her. That is, until one day she felt an overwhelming urge to travel to souther California. Without even a wave goodbye, Hack packed up and moved off in search of her true calling.

Since that day, Jenny has broken off with the mutants to join the Renegades, revelling the lifting feeling that flowed through her as she helped to establish a new group. She has been faithful all the way through.

(OOC: If anything seems a bit wrong, ignore it. I wrote this at 12 at night :P)

EDIT: Please note, Jenny is quite a socially inept person. If taken by surprise, she will usually stutter and become defensive. Other than that, she will usually compose herself, but will almost always be quite blunt. She's also quite ambitious and will use her powers to whatever gains she can. Hack has an ugly nature deep down that can rear itself occasionally.

Character Personality: Friendly towards most everyone he meets, he has a face that is easily forgettable, Abhors unnecessary brutality and will rescue a mutant just as soon as he would a Renegade if it meant stopping an obscenity.

Character Biography: Fought with the U.S. Marines in several of the many petty wars after the turn of the century, Discovered his ability to move objects with his mind, accidentally, when he subconciously pushed a fellow soldier away from a live mine during a routine patrol. The soldier didn't realize what had happened and neither did Marc until it happened again. As his tour of duty continued he began attempting to control his ability but found it worked best unconciously. If stressed when attempting to use it he may accidentally push instead of pull or vice versa, when his tour of duty expired he left the Marines permanently and attempted to live life as a civilian. When he learned of what Jonathan Matthews was doing, he left his life and moved into the mutant city. He left with the Renegades during the Schism, and remained on the hidden island during the rescue attempt.

Question: Since we will more than likely end up fighiting against each other, what happens to your shadowlings when they get blasted by light or something?

Question two: Can they be killed by say, a round of bullets through their center or something?

[Sikawtic]

Question: Since we will more than likely end up fighiting against each other, what happens to your shadowlings when they get blasted by light or something?Let's say they lose some of there energy and strength. They'll be easier to kill for sure. Possibly, the only way to kill them is with light+mortal wound, but that'd be up to a mod to decide.
Question two: Can they be killed by say, a round of bullets through their center or something?Unless it's ok'd that you need the light first (which could make quite the rivalry-ship between me and you, having you blow up my creatures and such).

After I apoligized to Lu, I turned my attention towards my food. Lu said some stuff, and i nodded and smiled in the right places to make it seem like I was paying attention, but oh god the food!
I devoured my food quickly, and even managed to sneak some off Lu's tray while he was trying to impress me by twirling his fork around his fingers. After there was nothing left to eat, I sighed, content with my meal... for now. Meanwhile, Lu was still talking, so I decided to tune in.
"So, how many mutants did you fight? Did you take anyone out of commision?"
I put a thoughtful look on my face, and stared off as if I were in deep thought or something, and replied, "Well, I took out a few guard-type-dudes early, then I got in a fight with this real tough S.O.B. We fought fot a while, trading blows, you know, I got pretty badly injured, but I'd like to think I won that fight, but anyways he ran off and I started chasing him and shit, when some guy ambushes me out of nowhere. I was pretty badly hurt, but I dealt out a bit of damage to him before he got a lucky shot in and knocked me out. How did you do in the fight?"

Marc walked into the cafeteria annex and immediately went into the line where he grabbed a tray and put a few small items on it, he wasn't very hungry but everyone has to eat at one point so here he was. Once he was finished loading up his tray he stopped and looked around for an open spot. He saw one across from a man in sunglasses, and a man in a wheelchair. Marc walked over and put his tray down. "This seat taken?" He asked as the two men looked up from their conversation.

Lumina

Dining hall
~~~~~

As the two were talking, well, actually just more Lumina talking to the air, a few servers arrive, bringing out a tray of food to the table. Just a minute later, Lumina looks over to Freezero, after having asked how many mutants he fought with, to see the plate damn near licked clean. Lu looks at Freezero, thinking to himself, "What the hell were they feeding him? Paper?"

Thomas turns to Lu, saying, "Well, I took out a few guard-type-dudes early, then I got in a fight with this real tough S.O.B. We fought fot a while, trading blows, you know, I got pretty badly injured, but I'd like to think I won that fight, but anyways he ran off and I started chasing him and shit, when some guy ambushes me out of nowhere. I was pretty badly hurt, but I dealt out a bit of damage to him before he got a lucky shot in and knocked me out. How did you do in the fight?"

Lumina then folded his hands, hiding his chin behind it, as he answers, "Well, there was this one mutant I've sever seen before. He had fists that looked like the buzzed with electricity, and what was worse, it looked like he could use that energy to form solid objects. He must have been recruited in after we left.....

So anyways, during my fight with him, Thor kinda interrupted, so I bailed on that enguagement to take care of him. After he blew out the far wall with two giant thunder-dragons, the uh, cieling sorta collapsed on us. He made it out somehow, then after I pulled myself from the rubble, I found him and that Marble nerd -ah I forget what her name is, she's a telepath- were both attacking Yoane. I charged out a blast that I think got Thor pretty good, he was in a bit of a daze.

After that, I had to knock that one telepath out as she was diving for one of the guns, butthen she unleashed some can of whoop ass or something, because next thing I know, I'm flying back like fifteen feet. Well, After I got up, some girl took my shades, and I tried chasing her, only to get electrocuted twice, before I doubled it back on her with a water cooler. After that I fuggin collapsed. Next thing I knew, i was on the jet."

"Well, that sound like you did a bit of damage." A voice says from behind. Lu turns to see who it is, then recognizes, "Oh, hey. It's you Marc. You led the renegades back to the jet right?"
"Yea, but there were a couple others."
Looking up, Lu asks, "You uh, realize you were supposed to sit down, and let the servers give you that stuff right? You did'nt go into the kitchen to get that did you?"
"No, there's an extra bar right over there."

Suddenly, Thomas whips around, wheeling his chair over to the bar with the speed of a nascar racer. At seeing such zeal, Marc looks over with a slightly concerned look, saying, "Do I even want to know?"
"Probably not. Just keep away from the hospitol food all the same though."

(ooc-- im having trouble adding myself back into the scene :( )

[Sikawtic]

Without further ado, I present, the Char sheet of Mr. Leon Schwam, AKA Egion. (That sounded almost poetic)

-----

Warboards Screen Name: Sikawtic
Character Name: Leon Schwam
Codename: Egion (Edge - eon) - AKA Edge
Alignment: Mutant

Gender: Male
Age: 24
Weight: 180
Height: 5'7"

Mutant Abilities: Can summon his trusty shadow cat Nightshade, as well as summon his blade, Bloodlust, and temporarily blind foes.

His Cat: Nightshade is roughly 3 feet and length, and is shaped as a sleek black jaguar. Though, she is pure black, and seems to "fade" into view, instead of having crisp edges... (think... a shadow with mass that must obey the laws of gravity and such). Gets weaker in sunlight. Unsummons in time.

Physical Appearance: Although he is pretty densely built, he has rather lean muscles, more for speed than power. He has dark black hair, and pale-slightly tanned skin. His eyes are a crisp, clean blue color (darker, not lighter).

Any Equipment / Weapons / Etc: His minute forces of darklings, and his "shadow blade". Shadow blade = a two handed sword that Egion can summon... it is a living sword, however strong and sharp it's edge may be. (it can just barbs out along its "spine" (blade) when being hurled at, or being ripped out, of a foe).

Character Personality: Although arogant and thick-headed, Egion is quite intelligent and has a love for the living. He changes his personality from day to day, one day spending the entire time pondering and thinking to himself in the shadows, and other days bickering and complaining.

Character Biography: Born into an abusive family, Egion was beaten on a regular basis by his father. One day, at about age 9, Egion decided he had had enough, and tried fight back. When he lifted his fists in challege, his father became enraged and hit him all the more harder. while huddling in the corner screaming that he hated his father, with his arms against his father's onslaught, there came a flicker of the lights, and to Egion's surprise his father lowered his fists and began stumbling around. Then a black shape leaped at his father from out of the corner of Leon's vision. The animal attacked the bastard until he lay unconscious and dying.

Several years later, he had had enough with his foster home and Egion escaped into the streets of Mutant City. He had been practicing summoning his beast at night, and anytime he could find a place to be alone. Often he had called his furocious feline into being just to have some company. That night, he conjured Nightshade and fell asleep snuggling against its fur.

Egion stole what he needed, and even completed schooling through an online site at a library near where he slept. After his self-schooling Egion was contacted by the leader of the Mutants, and declined the invitation. He instead began studying in the martial arts, and become a proffessional body guard.

In a couple years he grew tired of his job, and remember the offer from the mutants. Egion soon contacted them, and learned of the great clash which had occured only several weeks prior. With his new knowledge, he felt more inclined to help his bretheren.

Currently: sitting in a chair in the corner of the kitchen, dressed in a black, heavy trenchcoat. He wears a black bandana, and black sunglasses. His left ear is pierced with a shiny, silver, fang looking earing.

Character Name: Jenny Freewell
Codename: Hack
Alignment: Renegade

---

Jenny sat down at the table in the corner, alone, hiding in the shadows. She watched pitifully as the others rejoiced in their successful liberation of the Renegades. It made her sick that they could be so jovial when such a horrific event had happened. Regardless of the outcome or their enemies, they were fighting brothers. Lines should not be crossed between the two, rather, they should be working together to build a brighter future for all the gifted.

Hack laughed at her sentimentality. Hadn't she understood what would still be to come when she broke off with the mutants? Of course she had, she had just been denying it to herself. Jenny couldn't really live with the idea that there were those that perhaps could identify with her life, even in just the small way of segregation by powers, albeit a mental rather and physical one, could be her friends (Well, acquaintances might be a better way to put it) one day and foes the next. Again she laughed, already thinking of them as enemies. Rather, they were more just misguided friends (There's that word again). She nodded to that, feeling satisfied.

The general lightness of the fesitivites drew her attention breifly. No one could identify with her, deep down, and she knew it. The shadows played on her face as she withdrew herself further into the darkness, quietly waiting until some work could be done, wishing not to be bothered. Oh, how she reveled in the work, the feeling that she was building something that actually mattered. Nothing like what had happened. That was just the necessary means to begin more work.

Soon the process could begin and Hack would be happen once again, even for a short amount of time. That's was what really mattered, wasn't it? Happiness? It's all just a means to an end for everyone, and isn't that end just the useless struggle for lasting bliss? To each his own to try to gain that one elusive goal, be it money, power, anything, but that was all it ever boiled down to. Hack nodded, once again deciphering another small, be it somewhat dark, section of life.

Jenny sunk deeper into thought, working through some observations on life and the universe like she did whenever she was solitary, which seemed more often than not as of late. She barely even felt the hand rest on her shoulder and a voice enquire, "What are you doing all alone here in this corner?"

Jessica Green
Telly
Mutants
~

Telly saw Jake walking towards her from behind. He had his hand held out in front of him, still not used to being nearly blind. The cleaning lady bumped into him, and he spun around rapidly, trying to catch his bearings. He stared at her as she walked away for a few moments, then shook his head as he realised what had bumped into him. He turned back around and sat across from Telly, not saying anything.

"Hey Jake," she said.

"Oh, hey Telly," he said, smiling. "I didn't recognize you at first."

"Still getting used to the new vision?" she asked.

"Yeah. The whole heat signature thing doesn't really clue me in on who I'm looking at. At least I can see though."

"Maybe we can find a way to fix that," she said. "Some way to identify us."

"Maybe," he said. Telly took a few more bites of food before her head snapped up to look at the floating marbles. She was no longer controlling them, someone else was moving and shaping them. She watched as the marbles form shaky letters, "HI." The letter held for a moment before changing again, forming an arrow, pointing off to her left.

"Can you see that?" she asked Jake.

"See what?" he asked.

"Someone else has telekinesis," Telly said softly. Her eyes followed the direction of the arrow and connected with a man across the room. He was extremely large and muscular. His dark sunglasses gave striking contrast to his face. He gave a wave to Telly, and she smiled back.

"Who is it?" Jake asked.

"Big guy over there," Telly said. Jake turned his head and scanned the room. He stopped on the man.

"Big is right," Jake said.

"I'll be right back," she said. Her eyes never left the man. His telekinetic skills were not near as strong as Telly's, but the fact that someone else had the same powers as her awed her. She had never found anyone like her before.

She regained control of her marbles as she walked; the man was running out of energy and let them drop into her own mind's grasp. She gladly took hold of them and spun them in a halo around her head.

"Hi, I noticed your little message," she said.

"Well my powers aren't anything like yours, but I do try."

Telly blushed. "Thank you," she said. "My name's Telly."

_____

Egion sat in his chair tilted against the wall, chewing softly on the tooth pick he had placed in his mouth minutes ago. He looked around the cafeteria, saw two telepath's communicating through marbles, and various others chatting amongst themselves. He felt a sense of unbelonging, like he didn't belong there. This wasn't unusual, he had felt it all his life. But he hadn't been through training like the rest, he had just joined... he didn't have remorse for the Renegades who had left the mutants, he hadn't even known them. He still didn't.

At the same time, however, he felt an odd sense of belonging. A feeling he had never felt before. These people had gifts and talents just as he possessed. Although all of them had there differences, they all had them, unlike most of the world. They were unique, special. Most of all, Edge thought of the group as being related... a big family of like-beings.

He sighed to himself, and took another quick glance around the room. Here she goes... he thought, and then stood up. He walked towards the nearest grouping of Mutants.

"My name is Egion," he stated nonshalantly, (sp???) then held out his hand.

A refreshing sigh of relieve emerged from Jason's throat as the cool bubbly black liquid coursed its way through his arid innards, finally diluting to a bubbly ease upon reaching the base of his stomach. --"Aaah, that's good coke."-- He exclaimed calmly to himself while slumping back into his chair.

Taking a quick glance around the room Jason noticed the various little groups engaged in casual conversation, a welcome change from the often-frantic environment after the incident with the Renegades. But Jason knew that deep down tensions were still high. That's why he and Joe had taken the time try out and recruit new members, even now he could see all the "Rookies" settling into the group.

After a brief second of relaxation Jason got up and walked up Jake, one of the more senior members of SHIELD. --"How's it hanging gramps." He said after abruptly patting his visually challenged comrade on the back whilst all along resting his free hand against the rear of Jake's chair. As the chair creaked into a more reclined position Jason noticed the slim shady figure of one of the new recruits standing awkwardly before him.

"Oh, I see your breaking in one of the new recruits Jake... yeah this kid did alright, although he could use a good a mount of training. Maybe you could show him the ropes old man, after all next to Joe and Jonathan you've got the most experience around here."

Marc looked around the as Lumina was recounting a memory from the battle when he noticed a young looking girl sitting alone in a fairly shadowed corner of the cafeteria. Marc listened as Lum finished the story and nodded.
"You know, I really don't understand what is so wrong with that hospital food, I would gladly take liquid cardboard to the sterilized dog crap they gave us in the Marines any day," Marc said watching Thomas shovel the food in. "Well gentlemen, it has been interesting, there is no doubt about that, I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for you around the facility, but I must be going for now," Marc said as he stood up and left the table, shaking the men's hands as he walked off. He walked towards that back table and reached out resting his hand on the girls shoulder.
"What are you doing all alone here in this corner?" He asked as the girl jumped at his voice looking startled as she realized she had zoned out and had lost a sense of her surroundings. "My name is Marc, whats yours?" He asked as he extended his hand in friendship.

Jenny Freewell sat with her head in her hands, staring off in to space. Eventually she became aware of a slight buzzing sound eminating from outside of her vast, empty world. A swinging of the hand to brush it away brought and audible, "Ow!" from behind her. Jenny immediately snapped out of her trance.

"Well, I suppose that's one to say hi," the stranger smiled at her, rubbing his arm, feigning hurt, "Well, anyways, my name is Marc, what's yours?" He again smiled, looking down towards her.

"Oh, well, umm, yeah, sorry. My name's Hack... I mean, Jenny. Freewell, anways."

"Well, nice to meet you Miss Freewellanyways," he said with a wink.

"Oh, um, yeah, heh. It's Freewell. Jenny Freewell. And don't talk like that to me. I'm not a little kid. Just to let you know, because, um, people sometimes mix that up. Since I'm short and all, well, umm, yeah, hi." Jenny abrubtly turned away from him, "congratulating" herself on another conversation well handled. Just like all the other ones. She sunk her head into her arms and half hoped he might just disappear. Or herself disappear. It would all work out the same.

Michael Prescott
Renegade Leader
Chronos

He continued to tap his fingers on the table, playing an unknown melody while he stared into the glowing computer screen. The sun had set a while back, and a thick blanket of dark nimbus clouds hovered over the island, showering it with a massive amount of water. Michael had recovered from his wounds, and he planned out his next move.

With Jonathan dead, their problems were solved. He didn't know what his next move would be - would he go back to the island and explain the entire situation so that the community could once live again in harmony? He knew no one would believe him; but he did what he felt best... he waited. He knew that time would offer a better opportunity for him to solve his problems.

After a few minutes, he tapped off his computer screen and leaned back in the sturdy office chair. He let out a long yawn, and stretched his arms, slowly rising to his feet. He made his way to the cafeteria; there was going to be a formal dinner tonight where Michael would be making a speech. All the Renegades were finally back on the island now; and this was a time to celebrate. Even though it was a joyous occasion, Michael was still upset at the loss of Adam. He knew that they would not harm him, but he knew that they would be unpleasent to them. He knew that he could not go back for him, without risking more lives.

Before Michael knew it, he was in the cafeteria and he looked around. Many people had already showed up, and begun eating, while others waited for the majority of the people to come. The scheduled time for the get together was in fifteen minutes.

Michael walked to the empty table, and talked with a few Renegades, asking him how they were.

<tag anyone. Since I don't have Adam, I'm going to be using Michael. Ask him any questions, etc.>

[Whiteknight]

Hack sat up suddenly, as if alerted to something beyond the presence of the others. Her head darted left and right, trying to focus, and then finally settled on Marc. Her gaze seemed remarkably perceptive, changing from the distant, out of focus sight she had earlier. She composed herself and snapped out of the confused state she had been in before.

"Well, Marc, Michael seems to have finally turned off his computer. Maybe something will finally happen here. I'm sure you'll want to get back to your buddies now, but hey, feel free to stick around with the little kid. It hardly matters."

Marc looked somewhat bewildered as Michael wandered into the room, heading in their general direction. He asked them how they were doing and Jenny brightened considerably. As soon as he left, Marc cast Hack a withering glance.

[Tag Rage, BI]

(OOC: Please note, Jenny is quite a socially inept person. If taken by surprise, she will usually stutter and become defensive. Other than that, she will usually compose herself, but will almost always be quite blunt. She's also quite ambitious and will use her powers to whatever gains she can. Hack has an ugly nature deep down that can rear itself occasionally.)

************************************
Jenny's sudden change of attitude surprised and slightly angered Marc but he quickly shook it off and walked to one of the corners of the room and sat down giving himself a complete view of the room and its occupants as he pulled out his knife from its scabbard and began flipping it and catching it, balancing it on his forefinger and repeating the process, as he swept the room. With Michael's entrance into the cafeteria the general conversation became more hushed as he wandered from table to table chatting with the gathered groups of renegades. All the while Renegades kept filing into the cafeteria, while others ate.

Weight: 149Lbs.

Height: 6'2"

Mutant Ability, Phase Shift: Alex can shift through different planes, or “phases” as he calls them, of reality. Each phase has a different effect on him. So far he's only found two, but he is sure there are more.

Phase 1: In phase 1, Alex can't be seen; even with infrared. However, he can be heard. He is still effected by physical attacks in phase 1. Alex can remain in phase 1 for up to 5 minutes. After a full use of phase 1, Alex must recover for a few minutes

Phase 2: In phase 2, Alex can't be seen or heard; He is still effected by physical attacks. Alex can remain in phase 2 for 2 minutes. After a full use of phase 2, Alex must recover for about 5 minutes.

Physical Appearance: Dark hair, lean, light blue eyes, fair skin,

Any Equipment / Weapons / Etc: A light combat suit, two daggers, a silenced pistol, and several bottles of poisonous substances. Also, a water canteen he got from his brother.

Character Personality: Alex is timid, but kind. He normally isn't to social, but people have seen him having a good time like anyone else. He doesn't bother people. They don't bother him.

Alex is extremely durable. In fist fights he's been knocked down five times in a row, only to get right back up . He isn't exactly strong, nor weak, nor fast, nor slow. Just durable.

Character Skills: Alex is adept with daggers and poisons, though even he doesn't know where he learned. He also isn't half bad with a firearm.

Character Biography: Wandering. Wandering through wastelands, through forests, through cities. I can barely remember anything past my days wandering. I simply walk on, no matter what happened. I can't remember my mother or father. I can't remember my age. The only thing I can remember about my childhood is my brother, and even those memories are blurred.

Alex thought these things over as he walked down the long road through the desert. He didn't know why he'd chosen to walk through this wasteland, the heat was killing him. He paused, opened a canteen and drunk from it.

Another thing I don't remember getting He thought as he gulped down the water. He drank the last of it, then regretfully put the lid back on. Hope I find a house or something soon.

He continued walking for a while, trying to entertain himself by looking at the clouds. He looked down and found himself face to face with a man. Surprised, he stumbled back. Picking himself up, he looked around and realized that he had arrived at a gas station.

“Sorry sir, I didn't mean to bump into you.” He said. The man didn't reply, he just continued to stand there, in front of his gas station. “Sir?”

Alex waved his hand in front of the mans eyes. The man didn't respond.

What the heck? Alex thought.

*****

It had been months since the incident at the gas station. Alex now knew a lot more about his powers; where they came from, what they did. He had heard about mutants before, but dismissed it. He often switch between his phases. One was more comfortable in a certain area than another. In fact, he did it a little to much.

"Hey you!”

He spun around. A man was standing right next to him.

“You're a mutant, are you?”

Alex paused for a minute, contemplating whether to tell him or not.

“Yeah...” He said after a minute.

The man smiled. “Theres a place where you can go to learn how to use your powers. It's not to far from here.”

“How can I trust you?”

The man clasped his palms together, then spread them apart. Only instead of air, there was ice.

He's one too...Guess it can't be too bad.

*****

Alex followed him to the mutant city.

It wasn't to long after that when the renegades left. Alex, who'd looked up to Micheal Prescott, decided to follow him. He slowly has been working on his powers since.

Telly was blushing. She has just met Cory and already he was flirting with her. It was unusual for her; she didn't consider herself extraordinarily attractive. All the same, she didn't mind it though. Every girl likes to get complimented.

"You mind if I sit here?" she asked, motioning to the bench across from him.

"Of course not," he answered.

"So, you said you're new around here?" Telly asked.

"Yeah," he said with a chuckle. "I came just after the fight, to find quite a few mutants in the hospital."

Telly looked down and smiled, masking her emotion. She thought back to the fight, getting hit because she was too sure of herself, letting off that blast. And then the hospital, waking up strapped to the bed, and the damage it had done to her psyche.

"Yeah, I was in that fight," she said slowly.

"Oh were you?" he asked, surprised.

"Yeah. Quite a fight it was." She stopped talking, and Cory understood that the topic was too emotional for her.

"Ah," he said simply. A silence developed between them for a moment. "So what did you do back in the real world?" he asked.

Telly smiled and looked up at him. "I wrote," she said.

<tag Cory, continue the conversation if you want. Also, make some comment in character if you want Telly to call Cory something else (Star etc.)>

-------------------------

Ramon opened his eyes, then rapidly closed them again. He did this because he meditated facing east every day, facing the way of the rising sun. However, he didn't like when the rising sun went into his eyes.

He stood and opened his eyes again. Looking to his left, he saw that it was 7:30 in the morning. Shrugging off the night's activities, Ramon limped down to the cafeteria. He got a plate of something - He really didn't care what it was, so he scooped a bunch of stuff onto a plate - and he found an empty table and sat down. He began eating quietly, enjoying the food as it satisfied his nearly insatiable hunger. He finished silently and sat back. Closing his eyes, he allowed himself to drift back to the fight weeks ago. He hasn't done this before, as he was never one to dwell on battles of the past, yet he was never injured in battles before. So he let himself drift back to see what he did wrong, so he could be sure not to make the mistake in the future.

"You write? What a coincedence, I read. What do you write? What have you written?"

"Oh, just short stories so far. I've gotten published in various writer's magazines, an anthology of little writer's like me. Nothin' big yet. I'm working on a book though, been working on it for a while actually. Writing novels is a whole different animal than short stories, much harder for me to do. Plus, with all of this SHIELD and mutant stuff going on, it's hard for me to find time to write it."

"Oh really? That's cool. Me myself, I love science fiction. That is where I got my nickname from, Star Streak. A friend gave it to me years ago, because I was a sci-fi freak." He smiled, reminiscing.

"Do you prefer to be called Cory or Star Streak?" Telly asked.

"Actually I prefer to be called on the phone." He laughed at his own joke, and Telly smiled. "I know, I know, really bad, really old joke. But seriously, either Cory or Star Streak is okay with me. What do you prefer to be called?"

"Everyone calls me Telly here."

"Alright Telly," he said. "About me, my proffession is builder of things that blow up in my face." Telly laughed at this. "Hey, don't laugh, it is true. I am an inventor, but mostly I just end up creating big black spots on everything."

"Well what kinds of things have you invented?" she asked.

Jason continued to parade his way around the cafeteria greeting familiar mutants as he went, joking around with others, assuring the concerned that everything was under control and just plain old socializing in general.

The two short weeks that had passed since the “Renegade Incident” seemed to have a life time all their own, full of hard work and long nights. With Jonathan in the condition he was in, the leading SHIELD "triumvirate" had to take charge of the security forces. While not having much experience in that specific area Jason left Joe to do most of the planning but with David out of the loop, he had decided to take the lead in recruiting and training new rookies for SHIELD. Apart from which he also had started volunteering a good deal of his time joining Jonathan's assistants in their various addressings to the city. Ever since that day after coming out of the hospital Jason had taken a liking to public speaking, he enjoyed speaking directly to the people so much so that in his spare time he had even begun noting down excerpts from others speeches and seeing how he could improve them.

Out of the corner of his eye Jason noticed a familiar face.

"So how's the leg."

David stood up after finishing his plate. Jason had left; but David didn't blame him. Jason had his trust... but who else?

He walked over to the trashcan, emptying his plate and setting it down in the designated area for it to be taken to cleaning. He looked across the room.

"Hey David," Jessica called out to him.

"Hey," David mumbled back, a little disgruntled.

David turned towards Jessica and smiled weakly, trying to be at least somewhat pleasant.

"Mind if I sit down?"

Ramon heard a voice in his thoughts, "So how's the leg?"

Ramon opened his eyes and said, "Wha?"

He saw Jason and said, "Oh, hey Jason. Leg's fine. It still hurts a bit, but I can use it. I run a few miles every day, so the pain isn't enough to bother me."

Jason nodded, and asked, "What are you doing sitting here alone? You should talk to people, get better aquainted with everyone."

Ramon chuckled, "I know, but I felt I had to go over the fight again, see what I did wrong. I mean, in previous battles, I've never taken extensive damage. I am beginning to think I was too cocky while fighting, but I don't know how. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But I need to figure out what I did wrong so I don't repeat it in the future. Sorry if it seems as if I am rambling. Now, how are things with you? You look a bit tired lately, like you've been working too hard. Anything you need help with? I mean, you and Joe are doing a lot. With David not being himself lately, you seem to have taken over the job of two people."

************************

A large bellowing yawn confirmed Ramon's suspicions, followed by a soft cheerful smile as Jason continued.

"Well what can I say? I guess keeping the city safe is a bit more important than rest. Although... I got to say, if I were you I wouldn't read too much into mistakes from the fight, cause the truth is we got caught with our pants down. The Renegades on the other had spies right under our noses. In the end it was a matter of lack of surveillance that's why we have to work on security 24/7 now"

Feeling the need to sit down Jason paused to pull himself up a chair, its metal and rubber bottom feet squeaked loudly against the dense marble floor. Tilting back slightly with his feet propped up against another chair Jason gulped down another section of his coke bottle and continued.

"If you really want to help, I wouldn't mind having another instructor to help me out with the Rookies."

Jason large sneering grin turned facing a young man sitting just a few feet away. --"Cause they can really get on my nerves!!!"-- He exclaimed loudly.

The young man notably annoyed turned to face Jason for a brief second only roll his eyes and continue eating his lunch.

"So what do you say Ramon. Want to whip some Rookies into shape?"

"What's up?" she asked, now concerned.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about something."

Ramon smiled. He looked at Jason, and said, "I've heard about the latest batch of recruits. Rarely listening to instructions, can't fight worth a damn. The list goes on. I would love to help. Now, I wouldn't be able to do much, what with this bum leg. At least for a couple more weeks. But, I can be a combat instructor. I've had much experience in that aspect, and I can give the recruits a good couple lessons in humility and Martial Arts. Hell, if they show any skill with a blade, I can probably give them sword training. Anything to get them better suited to protecting. I agree, though. I mean, they got in the city because we didn't expect them to come at us. But they did, and hard, so we need the next batch ready for anything."

Ramon leaned back and put his hurt leg up on the table. He rubbed it a bit, and said with a chuckle, "Sucks that I somehow broke it. I guess I'll have to be more careful next time."

Ramon stopped rubbing it and said, "Since I'm going to help you out with the recruits, let me start by giving you a small bit of advice."

Ramon stood up and dropped his hand onto Jason's shoulder. He said, "Get a bit more sleep tonight. Recruits need to see a leader who is ready for anything, not half asleep when the fun begins."

Ramon patted his shoulder, and said as he walked away, "I'm going for a walk, then I'll be in the Gym. Come get me when you need me. It was a pleasure to talk to ya Jason."

Ramon walked out of the compound for a short after-breakfast stroll in the fresh air.

David turned towards Jessica, and looked at her, staring into her green eyes. Her long brown hair, highlighted with a different color carelessly fell passed her shoulders. She looked back at David, waiting for him to speak.

"Jess...err, Telly. With all the stuff that has happened, I need to know something," David stated, completely ignoring the fact that Cory was at the table.

"Sure," Telly responded, showing natural concern in her voice.

David let out a short sigh. "Jess... do you trust me... and if I told you something outrageous, would you still trust me?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before Cory could answer Telly's question, someone Cory hade never met before, walked up and started talking to Telly, totally ignoring him. Suddenly Cory jumps slightly and feels a burn on his back. Telly and the stranger, David, Telly called him, turned and looked at him.
"Sorry, I have to go verbaly if not physicaly abuse someone. And your conversation seems to be a private matter, so excuse me." Cory got up and as graciusly (sp?) as he could started to walk away. He turned and looked at Telly, "By the way, nice meeting you today Telly, maybe later we can finish our conversation."
"Okay. See you later."
"See ya." He then turns and looks around and sees Harry and another guy looking at him and not trying very hard to hide their laughter. He walks over to them, stares Harry straight in the eyes and said without any emotion on his face, "You are going to regret ever doing that. This is officially a practical joke war. Your every waking moment is going to be in fear of when I am going to strike next. You have my promise." After he finished, he broke into a smile and then reached out his hand to Harry. "I aplaude your skill." Harry uncertantly reached out his hand and shook Cory's hand. Suddenly he jerked about slightly and pulled it away.
"Ah what was that!?"
"Ahahahahahaha! Oh my gosh! You fell for the oldest trick in the book!" Cory then lifts his hand and shows harry and his friend, a hand buzzer strapped to his hand. Then in an annoucer like voice he said, "The score is now tied, Cory Kreegon, 1. Harry Thompson, 1. Your play next, I believe."

Cory had already gotten up, sensing that this was a private matter, but Telly barely noticed. The tone of David's voice, the look on his face, told her that somthing was wrong. She devoted all of her attention to him, forgetting about Cory even after their conversation only moments before.

David leaned in and paused for a moment, letting out a deep breath. "Jess... do you trust me? And if I told you something outrageous, would you still trust me?"

Telly was taken aback a little at this. Of course she trusted him, but what was this "outrageous" talk? David was not normally like this, usually he was upbeat and positive. This wasn't upbeat.

"David, something's not right, what's going on?" she asked, her voice showing her now low spirits.

"I just need to know," he said. He looked straight into her eyes, and as much as Telly wanted to pull away from that gaze, to think for just a moment, she couldn't.

After another few second pause, she finally answered his question. "Yes, I trust you. No matter what."

Shift's eyes snapped open at the sound of his alarm clock. He mumbled with displeasure as he got up and slipped on a pair of black cargo pants and a shirt. He then grabbed a remote, clicked a button, and the ever annoying beeping stopped. He cast a glance at the clock.

Time for breakfast...been a while since I've had some, ussually up late...

He stumbled through the dark room to the door, pressed a button on the wall, and exited as the door slid open. He slowly walked down the halls toward the cafeteria. It wasn't long before he was there. People were leaving now, but he didn't mind. He was never one for being social anyways.

He gathered some food on a tray and walked to over to the emptiest table in the room; only one girl was sitting there. He sat down and slowly began eating his food. Out of curiosity he glance up at the girl, then looked up for a closer look. She looked familiar.

"You want something?" She asked as she realized he was staring at her.

"No...nothing." Shift replied.

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"You just...look familiar. That's all."He paused, "Have we met before?"

After another few second pause, she finally answered his question. "Yes, I trust you. No matter what."

David slowly stood up, and walked out of the cafeteria, leaving Telly confused and wondering what the entire conversation was about. As David walked out, he saw Cory standing with another new member, Harry. Both of them were laughing.

"Cory!" David said, as he walked towards him, "And Harry,"

David walked towards the two. "Sorry for that rude interruption. I'm normally not like that. I don't think we've met... formally," David said, looking at the two new recruits.

"Yes, I concur. You have a problem with the way I talk?"
"No, no, I never really heard anyone say that alot before."
"Good. Now, back to business at hand." Cory then turns back to david who is waiting patiently, "Sorry about that. Where were we?"
"I am sorry for interupting your conversation with Telly, but i had something urgent to ask her."
"Oh, its all good. I understand. Besides, I had to come over hear and discuss something with good ol' Harry here."

Telly watched with a gaping mouth as David got up and walked away. He had gotten her all worked up and hadn't even told her what was going on. She did not like this, not at all. Her heart was racing, sweat began to form on her skin. She sensed something truly terrible was afoot, and yet she knew nothing about it.

"David!" she called out, but he was already out of ear's reach. He had gone off to talk to a few of the other members of SHIELD.

Telly needed some time to recuperate after this encounter. As she took her tray and cleared it, another feeling came over her though. She didn't want to leave the area. She wanted to be alone but she wanted company, she wanted time to think but she wanted to talk to someone. These conflicting feelings battled in her body, neither fully taking over her. In the end she decided to grab a candy bar and sit in the corner of the room. She juggled the marbles in the air, making them dance in front of her face, as she slowly chewed the candy.

<if MP is still alive and RPing here, this would be an excellent time for Brian to pop in>

Thanks GD. As I mentioned in my announcment, any RP that goes inactive for ten days I automatically delcare dropping out of. I was waiting for BI to post his "really big thing!" before I posted, guess that might not happen with Muniya or whatever. Aiye, she's a harsh mistress.

No, the British spell character that same way. Its just easy to spell it charicter, from its sound.

[ZeroCross]

Damn lucky. Thanks PH.

And to sickwatic: I don't want to drop out of this RP, it was the first one I ever joined. However, I promised myself to start freeing up myself from things, so I could have a little bit of time, otherwise when I get a job, I would be rippied out of RPs and duties here pretty violently and suddenly, because I would only have time for a couple of them. that's why I promised myself a new rule, when an RP goes for ten complete days without activity, I would drop out. I did this because if it goes for that long without activity, then I would'nt be letting very many people down by leaving when it was about dead anyways, and only had a low chance of comming back.

Although, this does'nt help when I've joined like 3 or four new RPs in the last month. >,< Oh well. I can't help it. ^.^

First of all, I want to thank all of you who have PM'd me, begged me, yelled at me, and even threatened me to restart this RP. It's people like you who make a GM like me have a fun time and do what I do. It really pleases me to see that the majority of people like the idea that I've created, so ... thank you. :)

Michael Prescott
Chronos
Renegades
Delivering speech
---

Michael Prescott walked slowly in the crowded room filled with people. Many of them ate jovially and hearty laughed filled the room. It was a good time for the people; they were reunited at last. All the Renegades were back; all of them were where they were meant to be. They were no longer in danger from Jonathan. He was dead. They were safe.

As Michael walked, she shook people's hands stopping occasionally to talk briefly. He smiled and laughed with his fellow friends, and met up with old acquaintances that he had not seen in years. Despite the smile that was on his face, there was something on the back of his mind. Something that disturbed him.

Adam.

He couldn't help but think what danger he had left his fellow Renegade in. He had known Adam for so many years. Michael had trained him, and had talked with him unlike anyone else he knew. They were friends... they were family. And it hurt Michael knowing that he was the one who had left him behind.

Michael continued to make his way through the crowded room which was bustling with activity and approached a podium and a make-shift metal stage that had been prepared. He walked to the podium, and without saying anything the room quieted down.

Michael looked around the group staring at the hundreds of men, women and children around him. All of them were looking at him; drawing courage from him. Michael stood in silence for nearly a minute before he began to speak.

"As we gather here in this dining hall, we should be proud of our accomplishments. We have put our sweat... our blood into making this place what it is; we have made this our home. We have worked countless hours without any compensation simply because... we strive to do what is right."

Michael took a deep breath and said, "Tonight is a good night. Tonight is a night that we should celebrate. We should celebrate for what we have accomplished, and for what we have done. We have stopped Jonathan from accomplishing his goals; we have stopped him from completing his mission blinded with by his thirst for power."

A small applause broke out amongst the group as Michael spoke, and he stopped his speech momentarily before raising his hand to silence the clapping. "We must not forget that Jonathan was a good man. He had made us into what we are. He had united all of us and without him... we wouldn't have been here. Yes, we have been outcast by the city and have had to struggle - but I know that no one would give it up to go back to a world living in terror, without knowing about fellow mutants and wondering what we are. He showed us that we are not outcasts, but that we are unique. It is - was, simply unfortunate that his abilities that united us was the cause of his... insanity,"

There were murmurs of approval, as everyone listened to Michael talk. They could not deny that contribution that Jonathan had made towards the Mutant community.

Michael continued, "We must also not forget the sacrifices made by us. Many people have given their lives to further our cause. I ... I wish that all of them could be here with us celebrating, but the past is one thing that we can not change. Let us celebrate for them, and make this a joyous night that all of us will remember!"

As Michael finished his short speech, applause began to fill the room ... but was drowned out by a low-rumbling noise. Michael stood at the podium, trying to isolate the cause of the sound when the ground slowly began to shake. It didn't take Michael long to realize that it was an earthquake!

"Get down quickly, underneath the tables," Michael said into the microphone. Shuffling of chairs and genuine panic momentarily filled the room as the ground began to shake more and more violently. The sound of cutlery rattling, the walls shaking echoed throughout the dining hall. Children began to cry and people began to scream in fear.

Micheal was crouched on the ground, next to Brad, his assistant, and a few other people. They had scurried over a nearest table, and were protecting themselves in case of any falling debris.

It was then, at the climax of the earthquake, that a voice echoed through Michael's head. A telepathic voice.

«There is much you do not know»

The rattling of the earthquake slowly came to an halt. Brad turned towards Michael and said, "We should evacuate quickly before the aftershock,"

Michael was silent for a moment, as he stared off into the distance... he was focused on the words that rang through his head moments earlier. After a brief silence, he said, "There will be no aftershocks,"

"What?! How can you be sure? Statistics indicate that they'll be her-"

"There will be no aftershocks!"

Hearing the tone of Michael's voice, the statistically-inclined Mutant did not question him.

Michael quickly approached the podium, and said to the crowd, "Our team had deduced that there will be no aftershocks, and that there is no need to evacuate,"

Puzzled looks and expressions covered the faces of many. "Please, feel free to continue eating." Michael said maintaining a completely calmed and collected expression. People slowly began to rise from underneath their tables, and settle down into their chairs. They trusted Michael, however... they couldn't deny the possibility of another earthquake.

Talking and panic filled the room. People were frightened.

"We Renegades just seem to be fond of earthquakes. First southern California, now our pacific island," Michael said over the podium, using humor to calm the group down.

Many people laughed, but a lot of them were still nervous. That night, the dinner continued and no aftershocks happened just as Michael stated.

<tag Renegades. Michael doesn't say anything to your character about what he heard, however, you have known him and worked him for a while. You realize that he's a bit nervous and that something is on his mind.>

David Anderson
Lucid
Mutants

David Anderson had left the cafeteria leaving Telly in a confused state of mind. He did not feel bad for what he had done. He had talked with many people and had mentally made a list of a select few people that he could trust in a time of crisis.

He walked at a quick pace towards the hospital. Without caution to the people around him, he zigzagged through the semi-crowded halls heading straight towards Adam's room.

Two guards carrying submachine guns stood outside of the room looking rather bored, and David approached them. Without saying a word, he reached towards the door attempting to walk passed them.

"Whoa, Dave!" One of the guards interjected, stopping David. "We can't let you in there!"

"I have to. This is SHIELD business,"

The two guards raised their guns in caution and kept it pointed at David. "I'm sorry David, uhh, we know it's you but we have to confirm your identity,"

"Of course," David said without a hint of sarcasm or annoyance in his voice. He walked to a nearby computer terminal, followed by one of the guards. Using the highest security login available to SHIELD, he logged into the computer system which accurately identified him.

"Dave, what do you need to talk to... uhh, the prisoner about? This is completely off the wall," one of the guards said, looking at Dave with caution.

"I'm sorry man, I can't tell you..."

"No problem. Just be careful, Dave. We'll back you up if you want it,"

David approached the door, and shook his head. "No, I'll be out in 15 minutes. If not, call the doctors," David said wryly.

"What - you think he'll attack you?" The guard asked showing concern.

"No, no... If he does, he's the one going to need a doctor,"

David unlocked the door, and pushed it open. He didn't care whether his lame attempt at a joke was funny or not, he had more important things on his mind. He had some questions he needed to ask his enemy -- his old friend, Adam Underwood.

<OOC: Mutants are still in dinner. Calibur wanted to do a training exercise with all the "n00blets" who joined the Mutants. Feel free to join him>

Ramon walked out of the facility quietly, still limping slightly. However, he was trying his hardest to make the limp look intentional, or at least minor. How he was do
