[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1314648, member: 13737"] Titan opens an eye as Loki talks to him. "Yes, amigo, I remember you. Merlin will be fine; he always is. As for the trouble, when Kodiak's called Thunder about the attack in Liverpool. I was close to the Mag-Lev so he sent me to check on you all. And while I'd like to claim I eat right and excersise hard to get so strong, the fact is, I'm an alien from a far away galaxy who is plotting to take over the world." He says it so deadpan and seriously that you and several others stare blankly at him, mouths agape. [i]Vincent, Raisa and Johan make their sense motive checks.[/i] "Aye carumba! It was a joke!" Sanchez turns the TV channel to sports and a recap of today's soccer games. "What a load of crap that news broadcast was," she says. "Those robots were nothing, certainly not to EPIC, but the mutants with them sure were. Kodiak said at least four mutants were in Liverpool and they were well prepared." Sanchez nods at John's and Michelle's comments. "He's right, you know. Besides, and I hate to burst your bubble, you aren't a hero. None of you are, but you could be. And you better develop a thicker skin than you seem to have if you want to be one. Ask Titan," she says, as she examines the back piece of Anna's battlesuit. The two start talking quite excitedly about it in fact. "Damn, bet those hurt like a sonufabitch," she says to Kevin, pointing at the hooks. "Ever think of just using rubber sensors?" she asks Anna. Titan grins and sits up. "I'm sure you all remember this one. 'Titan destroys cruise ship! Menaces coastline!' Or, 'Titan causes space station to explode! Astronauts barely escape!' I was paying for those for months," he finishes with a laugh. [i]In fact, you all do remember the bad press of about three years ago (except X12) involving both situations. You also recall how the press charges were completely revealed as incorrect months later.[/i] Sanchez reaches over and grabs X12's wrist, pulling him forward over the table a bit and looking at the bracelet. "Contained power cell, interlocking chains appear titanium and what's this?" She snaps the clasp shut and the bracelet shrinks a bit. "Oooo, clever! Did you make this? What's it do?" Unlike what you would expect from one of the most intelligent people on the planet, she seems completely personable. Thunder has just hung up the phone and is talking to the doctor that treated you. There [i]has[/i] to be a family connection between them. The other students mill about chatting. Carl is sleeping in a chair, head on a table, a few feet from X12. Dara is still running around with Titan's cape and has a number of the female students around her, all giggling and looking at Titan. Rebound is playing a video game. Cosmo and Jackal are sitting well apart from everyone, talking privately. Jackal is very pale. In fact, you don't recall him getting treated come to think of it. [/QUOTE]
