Professor Charles Xavier sat in his whellchair hooked up to CEREBRO searching for a new batch of students to teach at his school for the gifted((or gifted youngsters)) located in westchester county. he picked up a faint signal in the alleyways of new york city. "strange.....this persons signal is weaker than the others.....we should bring him in for examination incase he is in distress" charles said to himself. he took off the helmet that allowed him to use his mental powers to hone in on mutants around the country, or the world. he wheeled out of room where he kept cerebro and went to a com system and activated it. "logan, if your here i need you to report to the ready room of the facility immidiatly, i have an assignment for you" charles announced as he wheeled himself to the ready room.

~New York City~


Lucian was stumbling around the alley ways when he was surrounded by a group of thugs.

"give us your money kid" the leader of the group said.

"i.....i have none" said lucian

"do you hear that boys......he has none....guess we'll have to beat him for all the moneys he's worth!" said the leader as the thugs began closing in on him. Lucian began to panic and clnched his fist. it was at that point his mutant powers activated, which is probably why xavier had problems locating him. in his hands formed ninja stars that were made from pure energy that he was just shocked at. unfortunatly he didnt have time to waist on thinking about it and just threw them at the feet of the thugs and stared at them. "he.....he's a mutant boys....l...lets get out of here!" the leader said as they all ran away.

"me....a mutant.......but how?" lucian said as it began raining hard. he ran deep into the alley ways and covered his head from the rain. "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME!"

Matthew Conerick was walking home when his first realized he was being followed. He turned around to see three men standing there, armed with switchblade knives.
"Gotta have money to get those kinda duds, pal, why don't you hand it over to us." Matt actually didn't have money but had stolen them, but hew asn't about to say this.
"My money will stay mine, if you value your extremities I expect you'll leave now." He said witha dangerous edge in his voice. As he said it he slowly slid he hand over the handle of his katana, concealed in the back of his coat.
"I don't think so, three against one, lets get him." They charged. Matt waited for the first attack, and suddenly, in a flash, was no longer there. They had been expecting to meet resistance, and were thrown off balace. Suddenly he reappeared in aburst of light, behind them, grabbed the first thugs weapon hand and snapped it cleanly without using his sword. He then unsheathed it. The injured thug whimpred at the sight of it. no, theyc ertainly weren't worth soiling his blade.
"Now get out of here," Matt said, turning his back to them and returning his walk home, katana still in plain view.

Legin was kicking back in the sun smiling with his cool shades on and a nice beat playing played on his boom box. It was a bright summer day down on the new york sound, his dad had taken him on a trip on the house boat that they owned. Legin came from an upper middle class family, but not so rich as to own everything, but enough to have more than the usual.

"Hey son ya catch anything" His dad with a bright Hawiian shirt on yelled at Legin.

"nah I ain't got nothing pop" Legin yelled back reeling in his fishing rod in a little more. the main catch today was to be some tuna to bring back home as a trophy to commemorate a nice time away from work and everything. Legin was already fully aware that he was different, but not so sure that his parents knew, but he still kept it a secret and only used it in the right places...well actually all the time considering what it is.

Legin listened to the fish underwater being able to tone out the noise of the boombox and the waves gentaly slamming the sides. He could hear faint swishing and swaying of the fish tail going back and forth, back and forth. It was near to the line. He reeled it in some more but very slowly, then WHAM. the fish bit on and Legin tugged with every bit of strength he could muster.

"wow dad come here quick I need some help over here" Legin called to his father, who answered not with words but his arms tugging and joining in the fight. It was a tough battle, but Legin could see the fish coming in closer even from 10 feet down, it was a darado, a 3 foot long one at that with it's square head gawking using it's eye's to examine its captures.

They pulled the fish out of the water and onto the boat where it flopped around until Legins dad plunged a knife into the body and nailed it to the ground to wait for it to go lifeless. "nice catch son how do you always find the right spots every time we go out?" His dad asked.

"well dad call it intuition" Legin responded but he knew full well what it was

"if you say so, now go get your old man that fishing bin and w'll bring it home" His dad ordered

"aye captin" Legin saluted. Legins powers were really more enhancements, with better hearing which is how he can tell where the fish was along with his better sight. Legin ran around the other side of the boat to where the ladder was, and since his dad was out of sight Legin used his abilites again by jumping up 10 feet in the air. Legin also had better reflexes and reaction time which was portrayed by his stunt of landing on the guard rail and walking along on top of it. He flipped off and reached to get the fish bin but tripped and scraped his elbow on a stray fish hook.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" and with better hearing, seeing, smelling and flexability also comes much better feeling to which didn't come quite as handy as he would hope too. Another draw back on his powers was he would get tired more often then a regular human would and had to consume more nutrition then a regular human along with get more sleep.

Legin returned back down onto the lower deck with the fish bin in hand and still feeling the pain, but had to hide it from his dad. "alright, your mother is going to be so proud of us when we get hom" his dad commented

"yes.....dad" his voice squeaked from the pain.

Nimura Daisuki sat in her room, blaring the latest Dir en Grey CD, The Final, and painting her nails black. She flicked out her tonguge and ran it over the lip ring. Her hair had been dyed a red, and she left just ne strand black.

She was 'gifted' as what-his-name said. She could create illusions and she could send people to a subconcious world. She sent her worst enemy and he came back raving mad.

And-she did not care. She enjoyed his him raving mad.

After that...no one bothered her. Once, in the middle of biology she recreated a nightmare she was having. That's when he parents sent her to this school.

She was sure that she'd be told to her music down.

But, she wouldn't.

She hated this school.

"Buuuurn," she hissed. And the music blared even louder.

Logan found his way to the ready room. He was dressed in his normal street clothes. A white tee shirt and jeans, plus a brown suede jacket. The only strange thing in his appearance was his hair style. It seemed to hook back into two horns behind his head. His boots made no sound on the linoliam floor as the steel doors of the ready room parted and allowed his entrance to where Xavier sat. "Charles, you said you had an assignment?" he licked his lips in anticipation of a new missino. Maybe he could work solo on this one, and maybe it involved lots of sentinals being ravaged.

ELSEWHERE


In a dark room illuminated only by the faint red glow of a few dozen candles, Jeremy stottard sat in solitude. Or the figure that would've formerly been identified as Jeremy Stottard. He had long since thrown away that persona and adopted a new one. This change was not entirely his decision though, when his parents enrolled him in the "program" for superior intelligence they hadn't a clue what it was a cover for. A secret organization that performed testing on mutants due to their classification as seperate from Homo sapien. Fortunately for this society of scientists, mutants didn't count as human under the law, so there was no federal mandate to protect them. So now Jeremy had become even more of a freak than he had been before. his apptitude for simple illusions had been overcome and obliterated by the chemicals that were introduced to his body. Now his bones had hyper-evolved to the point of birdlikely hollow. It msut've been some sort of flying animal DNA that his own body chemistry had been combined with since he now sported batlike wings as well. his final mutation was a variation of his original, now he could open doorways of reality, whether they be to teleport or they became vacous holes was entirely up to him. This power was reliant on another factor though. His emotions affected his ability to use it and the only time he was able to was if he was carrying some sort of pointed object. These pointed objects served as a point of figurative and literal tearing of existence. He had chosen his favorite as well. Always obsessed with the ways of the sword he quickly adopted one as his outlet for this power.

So there sat a twisted creature who had once lived as a normal human, his life torn to shreds by his powers. Now he would use them to his advantage, he wanted to keep any mutants from being tortured ever again so to accomplish this goal his method was clear. The obliteration of the homo sapien race must come to pass by his hands for him to achieve his completeness.

"Slayer!" A voice rang out, calling to Jeremy. It echoed within the darkness as if e were sitting inside a cheesy horror flick.

"You called my lord?" The voice that came forth from within Jeremy's lungs was not that of a boy the age of seventeen. He spoke as though he had seen centuries of anguish. he spoke as though everytime he closed his eyes the flames of hell burned within his mind.

"A new mutant has flared up on my scope. I want you to find him and recruit him to our cause."

"As you wish." His wings spread open with the span of about 15 feet and he was off. he shattered the window of the room he had been sitting in as he shot through it. His wings flapped over and over like leather being slapped against itself and carried him forth. It was a long flight from Maine to new york, but he would make it on sheer will and determination.

Charles looked to logan and slid a file on the new mutant to logan. "yes logan...i have a new recruit i want you to bring in, his name is lucian wagner.....he just started to use his mutant abilities and i'm sure that he just found out about them." charles said as he wheeled over to logan. "you'll be going solo on this one....i want you to bring him in before anything happens to him, he'll be scared and his powers are very dangerous....so approach carefully old friend" charles said with a smile. "take the x-jet, and......keep an eye out for him......you know who i mean" charles said as his smile turned into a smirk.

OOC: i didnt know whether to call it the black bird or the x-jet

After finishing on her nails, Daisuki liced her lip, jumped up and turned her music up even louder. She jumped around the room, head banging to the loud music coming from her room.

She screamed along with the music, but all too soon the CD was over. She fell over her nightstand trying to reach for her CD case. In the process lamp fell and shatter. She put on Dir en Grey's Macabre.

Her room was filled with power full drumming, strong guitar and bass lines, and Kyo's screaming.

Daisuki was going to wreck havoc in this school.

(jay, it's the black bird. That's it's name, that has always been it's name. Until crappy ass Xmen evolution came out. 8grumbles* god damn spinoffs. They shoudl've stopped when wolverine got his own comic, The greatest comic series of all time I might add))

Logan grabbed the file and mumbled something as he walked out. "Okay Charles, I'll get this kid and bring him back." minutes later Logan was off in the BLACK BIRD. His destination wasn't too far, inf act he probably could've taken a train, or his motorcycle. But Xavier's o rders overrule all logic and must be followed. It was a smooth flight and he reached his destination a mere half hour later. He landed the black bird on top of a building and set up the cloaking device so it wouldn't be seen. At the same time, three miels away Slayer had landed on a rooftop as well. His master was relaying Lucian's exact location to him as he hunted the boy. Logan on the other hand had to rely on instinct and senses. He quickly picked up Lucian's scent, the smell of a mutant with this rare a power was distinct and pungent. Soon they were both about 75 feet from Lucian's location. As the poor boy sat alone in the alleyway. "It hurts doesn't it kid?" Logan's voice was the sole sound in the silent alley, with the exception of Lucian's sobbing. "I know it hurts. Being different and all." Logan jumped down from a fire escape where he had perched himself. he landed about 10 feet in front of Lucian.

"QUICKLY! SOMEONE HAS GOTTEN TO HIM!" Slayer's master's voice pounded in his head and jeremy began running towards wher Lucian was.

"It's gonna hurt for the rest of your life. unless you let me help you. Kid, there's a place where I can take you. A place where no one will judge you and where you can heal your wounds."

"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!" Slayer bounded off teh rooftop and landed dead in front of Logan. His wings settled behind his back and Slayer grabbed the handle of his sword off his back. "He will take you to a place where you will be treated like an animal. Your rights will be stripped away, as well as your pride."

'WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUB?!" Logan screamed at the crimson red figure that had interrupted his little speech. The blades of Logan's claws slid out from between his knuckles and he swung his clenched right hand at Slayer's chest.

"Heh, childsplay." He struck fertically with his enormous blade, opening a vortex before him that nearly sucked Logan in. "Who do I think I am? I am Slayer!" his wings spread out once again and he glared at Logan. "I am the end of humanity and the beginning of a new age! I will save the mutants from being treated as I was. Your little tricks will not fool anymore innocent children!" He turned his eyes towards Lucian. "So, the choice is yours. Will you come with me and help us to eradicate the human scourge. Or will you cast my help aside and allow this man to use you as a guniea pig?"

"LISTEN UP PAL! The Xavier institure is a wonderful place where young mutants come and are taught and healed. I don't know what sickos took you in, but I won't let you corrupt this boy's mind with your propganda!"

Ruby walked down a crowded New York City Street. All around her were humans. Stupid filthy humans. A few turned their heads to look at her. It was not because she was a mutant, that was not so visible on the surface. It was how she dressed. Her hair was short, only about three inches of it, and mostly jet black. The last inch was died red and orange in layers. Her eyes were red as well. Her eyes were the only visible part of her powers. They had changed on her 14th birthday, the day she had discovered how different she really was. Her pants were skin tight black leather and the legs were ripped in slashes a cross and downward in a random pattern. The effect was such that she barely had pants on at all. Her black heavy boots came half way to her knees, and had what looked like red metal tips. Around her neck was a dog color with silver spikes. Her long sleeve shirt was ripped like her pants and skin tight, with a wide strip around that was untouched. Over it all she wore a long red trench coat whose sleeves had been ripped off, and black leather gloves up to her elbows. Her ears had three silver hoop earings in each She walked slowly enjoying the human's visable fear. She blocked out their incessant noise with a pair of headphones that blasted Mozart. Her hands were presses together tightly molding something. She stopped at a jewelry store. The display was full of rubies. She grinned her red eyes going the color of old blood, the color leaking into the whites until they too were stained. She spread her hands wide, leaving many sparkling red rose petals. She concentrated and they shot forward shattering the glass. The alarms began to blare. She began gathering up the goods taking only the rubies and some silver. She had taste after all. She wondered if her comrades from the brother hood would show up to help her.

"You just can't help yourself sometimes can you?" a voice asked.
Sowly a figure emerged through the window cracking small shards of glass beneath his feet as he walked. It was Oddeye. He stood roughly five foot eleven with a stern look on his face. He was wearing a pair of black pants and boots that gave off a dreary feel. The back of his black leather jacket had the design of a flaming eye on it, and the sleeves led to fingerless gloves that were pulled up tightly past his wrists. Though his hair was a dark blue, the most distinctive feature on his head was his eyes. His eyes were closed tightly as they always were, and yet dispite this he walked confidently into the store. He had been blind his entire life, and saw no need to open what he could not use. There were many instances when he felt the eyes of others staring at him, though he knew he would never be able to see them. However his mutant power more than made up for his disabillity. When he felt the stares of others upon him, it wasn't because he sensed it. It was because he heard it. His mutant abillity alowed him to hear their every move. Every breath, every movement, every contraction of their muscles, he could hear.
Silently, he walked behind the store counter, ducked down and tore two sets of wires out from under the counter. The blaring sound of the alarm stopped.
"Lousy alarms, they give me such a headache."
Ruby stopped what she was doing, smiled, then continued to gather her newly acquired jewelery.
"Well your not one for a stealthful break in, but you are easy to keep tabs on."
Gently, Oddeye tapped the headphones covering her ears.
"Who else in this wretched city would listen to Mozart. I'd be able to figure out where you were from five blocks away... and thats if you were listening to it with the volume turned down."
With his arms crossed in front of him, he turned toward the entrance.
"You might want to hurry up though, I hear police sirens thirteen blocks from here. They should be here any minute..."

Lucian looked at the two fighting. who was he to choose?



choose what your instinct says, it will guide you in the right direction~ a voice in his head said. he didnt know if it was someone else or his own mind saying that. never the less he listened to it.


"ok....i know what to do.....now how do i make what i made before" lucian said as he held his hands out towards the two. suddenly an energy sword appeared. "wow....that should work....." he said as he ran towards the winged guy. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!" he said as he started to swing wildly showing he didnt know how to use his sword in the defense of the man with the claws.

Ruby smiled again as she turned down her music.
"Hey I like to keep the rest of them off guard. Who would think someone like me would listen to something like this?" She absentmindedly sculpted a box of her red metal then swept the rest of the display into it. She walked though the now busted window into the store. She flung a few more shards into a few more cases, then randomly shoved bunches of jewelry into her box. She yawned. "Police they don't scare me. But you are right we don't want any trouble..... yet" she grabbed a bag from behind the counter. No one protested the store had been closed for the day.. she didn't know or care why. Less humans to deal with. She then shoved the box into the bag. "All right oddeye my friend, let's hit the road."

It was night time now, it had taken them much longer then expected, their motor had burnt out so it took quite a while to fix, repair and replace all the parts. Legins dad always carried extra parts around ever since he got lost at sea with his dad when he was about Legins age. It was because the earlier motors had always burnt out and Legins dad made sure it would never happen again.

well after it was all said and done they were going about 29 knots and were roughly around 20 miles off shore. They had eaten the fish that Legin had caught considering it was the only fish they caught and there was not enough ice to preserve the whole carcas. It was dull and the waves were choppy that night with a strong breeze from the east. Legin could here fish swimming beneath, it was the only thing soothing his mind after the whole fixing ordeal. Legin looked at his hands which were now covered in black oil and rust along with his face from wiping the sweat off. His dad was at the steering wheel and looked like he was about to go to sleep.

They could have easily stayed in the boat over night, but Legins mother was one to panick and they said they would be back before night time, so by now she was pacing back and forth leaving marks on the ground as evidence of that. the trip was quiet with nothing eventful going on. Suddenly Legin picked up something with his nose. *sniff sniff* He turned his head to see if anything was wrong. There appeared to be nothing wrong, he would have heard it, then he remembered there were sometimes oil rigs out here and that was probably it and dismised the smell.

But sooner the smell grew stronger and then came a weird funky noise that sounded like a whistle..followed by and huge bang which kind of hurt Legins ears. m "woah what the hell was that" Legins dad exclaimed and hopped down the ladder not even taking one step. He ran into the enguine room "holy Sh*T" he hollard "Legin get in the life boat now" he orderd

"dad whats wrong?" legin asked knowing full well something bad was going to happen. Just then his dad apeared from the room with burnt hands and fire right behind him. Legin leaped out of his dad's way and went to the life boat on the port side (left side) and hopped inside. His dad went to the top of the boat and grabbed all the rations and tossed them directly into the life boat since it was right below. Legin caught them in his arms and placed them down on the wooden floor.

"dad hurry come on quickly" Legin urged wanting to help, but he knew he would only slow him down. His dad got tot the first level of the boat, but as he was passing the engine room to go to the life boat, a hufe pillar of flames shot out and engulfed his dad who then stumbled overboard and fell into the ocean.

Legin couldn't say anything, what could he say, only tears came down "dad....." he murmured. He came to his senses and cut the roped to the life boat and plopped into the water. He wanted to search for his dad, but if he stayed the sucktion of the boat (which was now sinking) would surely pull him under. He rowed with all his might to the west where his house by the coast was. All Legin had with him was the boat rations a few fish hookes and a fishing line so he hould be okay with food and the ratios supplied him with 8 days of water, but it should only take him about 3 days if he rowed nonstop to his house.

Legin pulled away from the firey wreckage and watched the boat that was known as the commander IV sink down into davey jones locker. Legin sat in awe and just cried for an hour non stop. He pulled himself together afterwards with a sad face, a heavy heart and the will to live and began to row with blurry vision to his residence, it was okay though, Legin knew where he was, ,he knew this ocean lke he knew himself. With swishiong of the waves and the creeking of the boat he was off.

Julius sat on his couch, eating whatever he had found in his kitchen. To his dismay, he heard the door creak open. His stomach dropped, and his heart froze.
His stepfather..
Nervously, he turned his head to the monster of a man standing next to him. His father's face was right up in his, and anger flooded his complextion.

Hi..dad. His voice quivered with fear, he could see what would come next.

Why the HELL are you lounging around like this? Your mother had no doubt told you to clean the house! AS DID I DAMMIT!
The monstrous voice boomed inside Julius's eardrums, for that moment he wished he was deaf.

Dad..I did.

You call THIS clean?!

With those words, his father's palm came in contact with Julius's face, and Julius tumbled off the couch. His father had frequently hit him, Julius just never thought anything of it. A tear fell from his eye, as Julius got to his feet..in fury.

Will you just..LAY THE HELL OFF!? A small breeze blew around Julius, but the door was shut and the windows weren't open.

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Fury flooded Julius like it never had before. The wind became stronger, and suddenly, it was like a typhoon had took place inside his house.
Julius saw his father open his mouth, but cut him off with,

SHUT UP!!

The windows exploded open, and Julius turned and ran. Hopping out the window, he ran down the streets of New York City, with no where to go.

[Okay, I have come up with alias for Daisuki, "Illusionary" And yes, she is talking to Xiaver]

Daisuki stood up, and walked out of the bedroom. She walked through the quiet halls silently. Even though her boots did have heels on them, she had perfected steping without making a sound. The cute girlie-girl gothic lolita dress-or it had been before she made it gothic-sported several rips in the skirt, the blouse was stained red in places to sybolize blood.

She glared at one door, and walked over to it. Hey! Isn't this the falculty room? she thought, walking faster towards the door. In her exciment she forgot about being silent and her heels made a loud-echoing click on the tiled floor. But she was to excited to care, she only sped up.

She crouched low when she was near the door. Smiling she crawled over, ad touched the door. They opened and statled, she fell in to the room in front of what-his-name in the wheelchair.

She glared at him, forgetting that had no right to be in that room. What-his-name knows about muntants so recreating a nightmare wouldn't scare him. Damnit, he beter not call me Daisuki. My name is Illusionary. He better get it right. she thought angrily, pulling herself to her knees and stood up to her full height(still on her knees).

"I thought this was a school. Where are the students?" She closed her eyes. Since her eye make-up was so heavy(it made her eyes appear sunken), it seemed she had just lost her eyes. And, then she laughed. "Or are you a fraud old man? Oh! I know, I know!" She clapped her hands.

"They are all off fighting bad mutants. Do I win, do I win? Do I win a cookie?!" She stood up to her full height then. She ran her tongue over her lip pericing.

Charles looked at daisuke.

"well daisuke...unfortunatly the other students grew too old for this school and went on, i'm sure they'll return someday but not now, they have broad new horizans to explore in their lives and to try and convince humans that mutants arent as bad as everyone thinks" he said to her. "now just sit tight.....a new student anmed lucian is going to be joining us soon, logan will be bringing him" he added as he wheeled off towards his office.

Slayer jumped into the sky and hovered above Logan and Lucian for a moment before sneering. "I won't leave without the child. Even if I have to bring him against his will." Slayer sped downward with the force of his enormous wings and cut open a hole between Lucian and Wolverine. 'Child." He spun and brought his heel against Lucian's back, attempting to propell him into the portal that lay before him.

"Not so fast Bub." Wolverine lept up on top of a closed garbage can and jumped around the portal, grabbing Lucian and rolling out of the way of Slayer's now impending strike. His claws shone in the moonlight as if they awaited Jeremy's blood.

"I said I'm not leaving without him!" Slayer landed and settled his wings. It was less than a second before he began running forward towards logan, with his sword ready to strike the mighty X man.

'You don't know who you're dealin with pal." Wolverine sprang forward and swung his right claw. It scraped the synthetic material of Slayer's outfit and left a gaping hole in the flesh of his left arm.

"AHG!" Jeremy screamed out in horror. His body had become incedibly cesseptable to injury thanks to the experiments that had been done on him. "I'll be back losers!" He spun around and dove into the hole. Logan was left to watch as it closed behind him.

[No, I don't have Professor Xiaver. I thought he was cool.]

"It's Illusionary, get it right, Old Man!" She yelled after him, promptly ripping a tear larger on her nylons. She walked deeper into the room, he never said for her to leave. The room was boring, so left it to go in search of something to do. "This place is so BORING." she screamed.

She stomped through the halls, wishing that someone'd come a yell at her. No one did.

Lucian looked at logan after slayer left.

"uh....thanks....i guess....." he said. "um....so....will this place teach me to control my powers?" he asked logan.

"Youre powers will come under your control with time. But I should relaly let the proffesor explain this to you. Just follow me." Logan began climbing the ladder to the fire escape he had jumped from. "What are ya waitin for kid?"

Meanwhile

"You failed."

"I know master." SLayer's head was bowed before a cloaked man. A strange energy emenated from the figure who was shrouded in darkness. Suddenly he began to glow blue and rise into the air, still in a standing position.

"Why do I put up with your incompetence?!" Slayer collapsed to the ground and began writhing in pain as his innards began boiling.

"FORGIVE ME MAAAAAAAASTER?!?! PLEASE I BEG YOU, ONE MORE CHANCE!" The blue aura faded and the man wrapped in black slowly lowered himself to the ground. Slayer ceased convulsing and his breath became heavy.

"One last chance. Fail again and I'll feed you to Behemoth." Hundreds of candles suddenly lit at once, producing a massive glow that illuminated the surrounding area. A large, brown creature stood heaving in the corner. No doubt he was the one the "master" had reffered to as Behemoth.

"Next time, you won't get away. Claw boy." Slayer propped himself up with one arm but collapsed back to the stone ground. "Next time"

Legin took a break from rowing just for a short time to think over what had happened and how his mom was going to take this. The scene kept playing over and over in his head non stop, but he couldn't cry no more, there was nothing else to cry about. What happened had happened, it may seem harsh but he has to forget that whole ordeal and go on about how he's going to survive.

Luckily a nice soft current came from underneath and took him the way he was going, he only hoped it would last for alitte while longer for his arms sake. His arms were hurting, maybe from all the stress and a little bit still from that scratch on his elbow. He check to see if the mark was still there. He saw a big scar was still on display for him to keep looking at and touching. Funny, it's like a keepsake of his last moments with his dad.

Legin looked over board and saw all the fish that were down there moving about and eating eachother, he could see some tuna looking back at him..they weren't that far down. he stuck his hands in the water and cleaned them, he forgot all about the oil and dirt on hm and proceeded to clean himself. After the refreshingly cool water clensed his skin, he went back to rowing even harder, back to his home.

Jack followed logan. "where are we going sir.......how are we going to get there by going up the ladder?" lucian asked.


~meanwhile~

Charles sat in his office staring out of the window looking at the property for his school. "wery good logan....you got him, this will be a very good thing for the school...new students....new team....new leader" he said as he wheeled out of his office and towards the elevator. he entered the elevator and went to the lower levels of the school that were actually where the team did all their training and the medical areas were. "i can only hope he isnt as reckless as scott was in his youth" charles said as he wheeled into the ready room.

Oddeye and Ruby quickly made their way through the back alleys to get away from the scene of the crime. As they pushed aside trash cans to clear a path, Oddeye stopped abruptly, and lowered his head in a trance of deep thought.
"Interesting... Very interesting..."
Ruby stopped and turned toward her blind counterpart with a confused look eminating from her red eyes.
"Two of our kind seem to have gotten into a bit of a skirmish. Apparantly a young boy just recently discovered his powers, and the two were fighting to recruit him. The one with claws won the fight, and the other fled from the scene... Literally... Very interesting indeed. The boy seems to have powers that are similar to your own."
Ruby raised an eyebrow with an intrigued look on her face.
"For two mutants to go through that much trouble for one boy is very peculiar indeed. This might be something that he would be interested in."
The "he" that Oddeye was referring to was none other than Eric Lensher... aptly named Magneto. This man was within the ranks of the most powerful mutants in the world. A fearless leader, a brilliant tactician, and the only man whom the famed Professor Xavier feared.
Oddeye began to rub his chin as a smile spread across his face.
"Very interesing..."
With that said, they continued through the desserted alley and mad their way back home to The Brotherhood.

Julius frantically stopped running. He had no breath left to catch, and fell against a wall. He laid there, and simply thought. As much as he tried to gather his thoughts, he could only find emptiness. All he could find was the mysterious power he had locked inside him, that opened today.
Julius had heard rumors about mutants, he was sure he had even seen one before. A girl in his class had once knocked a desk foward by looking at it, but he had tried to ignore it.
He decided he would test his power, and he knew just where to do it. Bursting into a run once again, he made his way to the abandoned wearhouse down the block. He had always went on that buildings roof to think in the past.

~On the roof~

Julius stood silently, unaware of how he should try to harness his powers. If he actually had any. He closed his eyes lightly, and simply concentrating. Trying to find the missing puzzle piece in his body. Suddenly, he felt a small breeze.

Come on . . . He begged.

Suddenly, the wind picked up around him. He smiled, feeling it. Pulling more of his power from him, he shot the wind foward and back like a boomerang. He ran foward, feeling the wind swirl around him. He laughed, he found himself approaching the edge of the building. Before he could think to stop, he jammed his foot into something on the ground. With the burst of pain came a huge gust of wind the sent him flying off the side. He toppled in mid-air, falling down to the streets..

((No one save me, I have a plan.))

"Reeeally?" ruby purred. He was always looking for new recruits.. she remembered the day she was "recruited". The day she was saved from that place.. she blocked the image out of her mind. He had changed her world. Plus he wore red. That was a bonus. Anyone who wore red had class. She walked in silence behind oddeye for a few moments, then a thought came to her "hey,you think that the nutty professor noticed us? I'm itching to show those x dweebs a thing or two.." She couldn't wait to show him that she was a worthy addition to his team.

Oddeye stopped and thought about the question.
"Hmm... I doubt it, he was probably preoccupied keeping an eye on that 'Wolverine' character. But don't worry, Our time will soon come. And when it does, those second rate 'heroes' won't stand a chance."
Oddeye paused, then turned to face Ruby.
"What worries me is the one that flies. His powers are very unique, not like any I've heard... Even for a mutaion, they seemed very... unnatural. He seems very powerful, but one question still remains... Is he on our side, or do we have another liabillity on our hands?"
They stood silently for a moment. While they stood there contemplating Oddeye's question, a strange gust of wind blew past them. It felt strange, almost artificial. Oddeye said nothing. He simply turned once more and thought to himself 'What a fool...' He sighed, and and took a step forward.
"We've wasted enough time. It's starting to get late, we should get going..."

Soon after Logan and Lucian climbed the ladder to the roof of the building where the black bird had been landed, the two of them were back in weschester, at Professor Xavier's school. Logan had brought Lucian in to meet Xavier and was on his way back to his room when he came across Daisuki. "Hey kid. You aren't supposed to be down here ya know. Why don't you catch some Zs."


MEANWHILE

"Slayer. Another strong mutant has appeared in the same area as the last. Take Behemoth and go to her. Bring her back." Slayer had healed and had his "armor" patched. He was off again, but this time he had back up. The incredibly strong but incredibly stupid Behemoth would be accompanying him. Slayer sat up from his stone chair and grabbed the enormous balde that was propped up agianst it's side.

"Hey, stupid! Get in and don't stretch the hole. You'll obliterate existence." He tore opened a gateway to the alley he had been in earlier. There he and behemoth emerged seemingly from nowhere. Slayer opened his eyes and looked at the two mutants that were standing before him. "Which one of you is Leena?"

Matt sat in his home, thinking, his white hair falling into his eyes. It had been weeks since he'd had a job, though his last one had paid off wonderfully. He could live off that fat for quite some time. Regardless, he was axious, he hoped someone would contact him soon, anyone who could possibly want his services knew where to get him....

The wind began to pick up more and Legin was being blown off coarse "dammit can't anything go right" he cussed at the weather. He tried to paddle with all his might but the currents were to strong and he was waring himself out by trying to do so. But still he did not give up, he pulled the oars with every once of strength he had until.

He missed a beat and sent the oar into the air which jerked the boat towards the left and almost capsizing the boat. "woah I better be more carefull" He thought as he slammed into the side. He got up to brush himself off, but a huge random gust of wind blew from the north and caught the underneath part of the boat and finnaly did capsize the boat.

Legin fell into the cold wavey water and saw the waterlogged oars float away with the current. "no this isn't happening" He tried to convince himself, but was met with the horrible truth that he was now passing out. "sorry mom..guess we could bring home dinner" were his finaly words before he drifted into unconscience.

((I'm not dying here just to let you know, but some one find me....please, it doesn't have o be at this ver point but soon..I wanna join in some how and not be like the other RPG where I was left behind)

Charles wheeled his way towards logan and Lucian((like how i just capitalized lucian :lol:)).

"you must be lucian.....i am Professor Charles Xavier" he said as he extended a hand to lucian. lucian looked to logan and then back to Xavier and shook his hand. "your at my school for the gifted, here you will learn how to control your powers and....help with what logan just did.....bring other mutants, like yourself, who have just learned about their powers in to the school to learn and see how to use their powers for good." he explained to Lucian.

"really? thats sounds great....you mean i'll have friends here that are mutant too...i never really had friends...or a family....my parents died when i was young and i've been living in the alleyways for a few years" lucian said.

"yes...you'll have friends, and family...which is what we are here...and i have a proposition for you" xavier said to him as he interlocked his fingers and leaned his elbows on the arm of his wheelchair.

"wh....whats that professor?" Lucian asked.

"Logan used to be a part of a team called the X-Men which i started to help people learn to accept mutants and to help keep mutants like the one that fought logan to bring you back to his leader at bay....the old team split up except for logan.....and we've been without a leader, i want you to lead Lucian" he proposed.

"what....are you serious...uh...i....i guess....it sounds great.....um...do i get a team name or something?" lucian asked.

"yes....and i'm leaving that up to you to decide lucian" charles said with a smile.

"ok.....i guess....um....arsenal will do fine, since i can create weapons out of energy obviously" lucian said as he looked at both logan and charles.

Leena spun towards the voice that called her name. There was a horribly mutated creature with bat wings behind her, as well as another mutant who was incredably large.
One eyebrow raised leena turned to oddeye.
"I thought you said the x jerks wouldn't bug us." She clenched both fists tight and began forming her rubies.

Oddeye hessitated.
"...Those aren't X-Men...
The one with the wings was fighting Wolverine earlier, and as for the other one... Well I'm not so sure we want to find out..."
A drop of sweat began to trickle down Oddeye's face. The two mutants before him were different than any other he had encountered before. In a tight alley like this, he would have a hard time maneuvering around all of the trash cans and other obstacles. Quietly he removed a small remote from his pants pocket. As he pressed one of the buttons, all he could think was 'Hurry up... I have a job for you...'

MEANWHILE

Mathew sat at his home, still anxious for some action. Suddenly, a small device on his coffee table began to beep and flash a red light.

BACK AT THE ALLEY

'He'd better get here soon.' Oddeye thought to himself. 'Leena may be ready for a fight, but I don't think she realizes how strong these two are...
Hmm, I'd better stall them...
He's going to need some time before he can get here.'
Oddeye took a step torwards the two mutants.
"Do I really look Like a 'Leena' to you? Seriously, I wouldn't know." Oddeye said pointing to his sealed eyelids. He hessitated trying to think of something to say.
"...So what is it exactly that you two want here?"
Oddeye could easily here the heavy breathing of the large one. He seemed untamed, wild... viscious...
'You'd better hurry up Matt...' Oddeye thought to himself. 'I don't like where this is going.'

Julius flipped head over heels, diving frantically through the air. He wanted to scream, but he was unable to do so. He felt as though his heart stopped, and so did time. He was aware he was falling at a fast rate, but even so it felt like his time frame had been different.
In a split second he had his mind re-gathered, and concentrated. The anxiety, fright, and andrenaline combined into one heap of energy inside him, and with a huge gust of wind that this time he controlled, Julius was tossed higher into the air.
He giggled slightly, then when he realized he was basically flying with his control, he hollered a hardy laugh.
Yeah!! He screamed, as he controlled the wind to take him high into the air.
He spread his arms open and opened his eyes wide. Every second or so he would fall then catch himself, for his powers hadn't been developed enough. Either way, it was the most fun Julius had ever had.
Carefully, he let the wind guide him down to the ground, in an alleyway where no one could see him.
He didn't know what to do now, but he had heard rumors of a place mutants went.
Something with the name . . Xavier . .

"I don't need beauty sleep, though a few thousand years for you would do you wonders." she spun on her heels, and made her way back up to the floor she was 'allowed'. "I'll be back!" she sang over she shoulder, waving towards Logan.

A man, dressed in black and a trenchcoat, a katana in his hands, seemed to materialize behind Oddeye, though he was really just converting abck to physical form.
"These guys bothering you Oddeye?"

Standing outside of his hideout Magneto turned to his henchmen; Sabertooth. "Well, Sabertooth it looks like the Brotherhood will begin recruiting once again." Sabertooth nods. ((Since no-one signed up as Sabertooth, I'll be him too)) "I have found a powerful mutant who can easily be 'persuaded' to join us. The only problem, Charles got to him first." Magneto states in a serious tone. "Sabertooth, I have a mission for you now. Find the girl who calls herself Illusionary and meet with her alone. The future of the Brotherhood depends on this particular mutant. If she refuses, bring her to me and I will help her decide." He says in a menacing tone. Sabertooth then starts walking away repeating his newest orders in his head.
"Meanwhile, I have some business to take care of myself." He laughs slightly then motions to another of his henchmen, one dressed in all black. "Bring around the car, we need to be low-profile for this operation." The henchmen nods and begins running incredibly fast to the back of his Hideout. Moments later a car is heard peeling out and shortly after a black Toyota Supra Twin Turbo screeches as its breaks are slammed down and the passenger door opens. Magneto slowly gets into it with a wide grin on his face. "You know where to go." The henchmen nods and the car leaves as soon as it arrived.

[too speed up the meeting, I'm gonna just have someone place a note in her room]

Daisuki walked back to her room, where her music still blared. She picked up a envolope placed on the desk, with no return address, and only said "Illusionary."

"At least someone knows my name." she said, and opened it. She read the note quickl, and laughed. "mabe the Botherhood would be more fun then this old borken down school." She socffed, and put the note down.

((I'm dropping this RP, feel fre eto kill off Matt in any way you see fit))

Behemoth seathed with penned up rage. The master hadn't allowed Behemoth to go out on any missions in a long time. "Please do not mistake me for a member of Xavier's little team of children." Slayer's eyes faded and stared at Oddeye. "It is my job to make sure I find the mutants I've been sent after and return them to my master. Miss Leena is my latest potential recruitee. So Miss Leena I must ask you to please come with me peacefully. My master sees you as an asset. Your friend is welcome to join us but please do not resist, I do not want to harm you."

Mathew stepped forward putting himself in the middle of the four mutants.
"Don't listen to a word he says! Just look at them!"
Oddeye's eyebrows twitched.
"Oh right... My point is They're freaks! Even for our kind."
Mathew drew his blade, and a smile spread across his face.
The two mutants before them grew tense. Oddeye could hear their very muscles contract. The winged man remained calm, but the gargantuan one was boiling with rage. His breath grew louder and louder, and Oddeye could tell that he was just waiting for a signal to strike. Oddeye took a step forward hoping to stall for time.
"Mathew wait, I don't think you should-"
"Are you kidding me! You hired me for a job, now I'm here to complete that job."
Mathew turned his back to the mysterious mutants to face Ruby and Oddeye.
"You both know what I can do! With my powers these two won't be able to lay a hand on me! Oh, and when I'm done you two had better pay well..."
