Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

Astrid squints at the boys, and shrugs...then gets a wicked smile. She waves at Alchemist and says, "Hey, Alky! Who are your friends there? Miranda wants to know."

Her face turned bright red as she glanced from Astrid to Alchemist. "I can't believe you just did that..." She smiled nervously and began to wave as she wondered if any rumors about her were about to begin.
 

Xi'an takes a second to break out of his thoughts...water...hmmm...how to do that?

"Oh, excuse me, my mind was wandering. I'm Xi'an...or Desert Ghost. I'm new...I guess that's obvious."

Xi'an then smiles, trying to be charming.
 

Colossus looks in horror as Sabretooth gets up and starts attacking the police. "He shouldn't be up." With that he runs towards the feral mutant to stop the attacks.

Gwen bounds forward into the main part of the bank, looking for her other allies. Seeing the Blob as the most obvious target, Gwen concentrates on assailing the mountainous villain with mental energies.

Cannnnn't.... quite.... do.... it....

Failing to gather her concentration, Gwen instinctively tries to web the giant villain, not realizing of course that her webs would do little to slow him.

"Don't you think you should..." Quarterback says as Colossus runs off. "Never mind." I wouldn't mind taking orders from Prof. Summers. But Pete's not thinking tactically, and I can't argue with him in the middle of a fight.

"Y'know big guy," He says to the Blob, "Taunting people you can't seem to lay a hand on is perhaps not the best move..." He says, trying to set up Lightspeed for another attack.

"Oi! Derek!" He replied simply, hand rising in a quick wave to the student. His thoughts were somewhat a mirror of Miranda's, lucky Derek accompanied by two cute young things. Headed that way anyways, he sprinted the short distance between the pair of them, slipping into line just behind the trio. "Just the mutant they were looking for."

He jerked a thumb at Wi-Fi and Xi'an as the two approached at a slightly calmer rate. "Well Xi'ans already introduced himself. The other one is Wi-Fi. Just a suggestion, if he looks at you, start repeatedly thinking 'Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean.'" He grinned. "It helps, well, makes him try at least."

He looked then to the more timid of the two girls, (Assuming she hadn't vanished to hide her blush), dipping low in a bow, clothing rippling, long sleeved silk growing a bit more baggy, a t-shirt now, one she would recognize as a 'very' close approxmation of some little bit of merchandise that had been produced with her likeness when she'd been a celebrity. "Rare to see someone among the students who was famous before they could fly, lift cars, shoot energy blasts or whatever your paticular power is." He winked. "Don't watch much tv, but I must say I was a bit of a fan. You did a lot with the matierial you were given."

He flashed her one more brilliant smile before turning his attention to the group as a whole. "Alchemist, please," he laughed. "Alchy makes me sound like a child, drives me batty. Though speaking of childlike... David.." He jerked that thumb at Wi-Fi and Xi'an. "These two need water for a bit of a prank."
 

"Relax, Miranda," Astrid murmurs as the three come over. "You'll see."

She nods at them as the introductions proceed, giving Miranda a little jealous glance when Alchemist recognizes her, then says, "I'm Calypso...and no jokes about the Day-O song. It's from The Odyssey. Hi."

Again, that wicked grin.

"And did someone say...water?"
 

Miranda threw a glance at Wi-fi after hearing Alchemist's suggestion, and gave him a weary smile. Um... if you're reading my mind.. did you um..watch my daydream?

Miranda then found herself thrown off guard by Alchemist's bow. If her face was red before, it now appeared you glow brightly. "Thanks, but..." She whispered closely, "you don't have to bow." She glanced around cautiously before adding . "Someone might notice, and I don't want to make too much of a scene."

She smiled coyly then leaned forward and whispered. "Now, be honest, were you a fan before, or after, I did that infamous beach episode on HBH?" This was Miranda's favorite test which she only asked her male fans since the episode in question was often referred to as the 'OMFG! Gloria's actually Hot!' episode. She smiled and threw a quick glance towards Kitty. After a brief moment she then realized that she forgot to introduce herself. "Oh yeah, um.. for those who don't know... I'm Miranda..." she then added an overly dramatic voice, "they call me, LLorona."

She glanced from Calypso to Alchemist and the others. "So what exactly are you guy's planning, and how can I help out?"

Wi-Fi thought sends to Xi'an, Kitty and Alchemist +Water... lots and lots of water... Our pal Pyro is terrified of drowning.+ "Your Iceman guess was pretty good." He smiles.

(new students walk in)

"Sheesh man, is there ANYONE you don't know." he throws a wink to Kitty and Xi'an.

"Oh come now, I don't go around reading EVERYONE'S mind..." he glances at the newcomers. "I mostly just use the parts of your brain that you're not using... like a big invisible organic computer network." +It lets me do stuff like this.+ he broadcasts to the group.

At Nereid's mention of water, Kenny's face lights up. "Can you get ahold of enough water to dunk someone in... or fill their room with?" He glances at Xi'an, "Is this what you were thinking when you said 'prank?'"

He focuses on Miranda. "C'mon now, stop blushing girl... yer makin' me WANT to read your mind." He smiles.

Oh, he leans in conspiratorially. "We're gonna prank Pyro for being such a ... well, unlikeable individual."

Jemal - OOC: [sblock]I meant 150... Quickness has no DC and so isn't limited by the Power Level. Now that I have my hands on ULTIMATE POWER though, I see that some of my flaw-costs are wrong, I think. I'll correct my char-sheet soon.[/sblock]
