Sanchez shouts loudly, freezing everyone in their tracks, including those planning on leaving. Translation: If you think for a moment that that sort of conduct is acceptable, Raisa da Cruz, you are sorely mistaken. "You concern yourself with clothing when X12 has not even a shirt, and worry of injuries that are not of any concern to someone with your powers.  Vincent may have made a poor choice, he may have made the right one; it is of no concern now, and Randall being upset over it is no excuse to threaten to use violence on anyone. "And you, Mr. McPhee, should hold your tongue.  Have you been regularly put in combat situations so that you know exactly the right thing to do every time?  Did you try to disarm the soldier shooting those around you, or did you do what your instincts told you and got away while those about you were shot, I wonder. "You are all fortunate to even be alive.  Many around the world today are not so fortunate.  Many of the students who did not accept the invitation here, and many of those not invited, lie injured or dead in hospitals about the globe.  Many powerful mutants lie in the same conditions, including two of our own.  And while they lay in hospital, Thunder is contacting your families to make sure they are alright and let them know you all are fine.  To think that you would bicker and argue when so much has been lost it is... it is obsceno!" She pauses a few minutes, face bright red from her outburst, taking several slow breaths.  "You," she says, pointing at X12, unable to remember his name at the moment.  "Sit back down.  I did not steal something that can even help you.  It's power supply is expended.  I may be able to fix it, but blocking all your powers is not going to be all that useful unless I can figure out a way that you can disable the sensor," she says as X12 returns and she points at several wires inside the device, "that tells the computer chip it should be working.  And until I can find a proper energy source, it would be a very short term thing, like an hour.  This connection and this one," she continues, back into her gadgets, beginning a dissertation of the bracelet that will likely be a while.  While X12 doesn't get what she's saying, the fact that she can fix it rings clearly in his mind and makes him pay rapt attention. Thunder and the doctor walk into the room a few minutes later to the still stunned silence and Sanchez explaining the problems of the bracelet to a baffled looking X12.  He looks at Titan, who is still trying not to laugh out loud. "She blow up yet?" "Forty-seven minutes and thirty six seconds!" Titan exclaims and breaks into laughter. "Damnit," Thunder mutters, pulling out a twenty dollar bill and handing it over to Titan.  "How do you always know." "I hate you both," Sanchez says in a brief pause of her dissertation before continuing as if she hadn't left off. Carl finally breaks the silence of the students, answering John.  "Niners all the way, from wildcard to superbowl." OMG!  Shirt!  Dara shouts, echoing in everyone's minds.  She dashes over to her duffelbag and pulls out the shirt she'd been working on and goes over to the table.  She practically starts dressing X12 completely unconcerned about his powers activating, which is somewhat unnerving to X12.  "Sorry!  I forgot about the shirt with all the shooting and ... and blood," she adds quietly.  She puts a shining red sleevless shirt on X12, made of 100% silk.  It's shoulders flair out, and wrapping around the shirt is the threaded image of a golden chinese dragon.  It has a closing flap that wraps to the right side, where buttons fasten it closed.  It looks simply amazing and is unmistakably (to those that follow fashion) a work of world famous Chen International Designs studio. OOC:  Think of the shirt stalone wore to Taco Bell in the Demolition Man, only fancier. Sanchez pauses her dissertation while Dara dresses X12.  "Nice shirt.  Hey, isn't that Titan's cape?" "My cape," Dara says kind of surprisingly shyly, pulling it up around her mouth and nose and running off before anyone tries to take her cape.</blockquote>
