Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

[Relique du Madde]

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, I know you're just jealous that he's the one who will get to go swimming with me." She then sarcastic chimed, "But alas, he's the one who is getting wet tonight.."

Miranda glanced around as she played with the buttons on her black workshirt. "I hope I don't get in trouble for this.." She quickly vanished for several seconds before reappearing with her shirt tied in such a way that it showed off as much of her upper torso as possible. She spent a second to adjust her top and smiled seductively as she she placed herself in a proper mindset. "I'm ready."

Quarterback

The only way to be a leader is to lead. Cyclops had said that as often as his coaches had. Everyone but Temper was here. It was time.

Sure that Colossus would shake off Sabretooth's first attack in a second, he shouted out encouragement as he moved into position for his own attack.

"Is everybody ready? Then let's finish this!" He said. It had always worked with his football teammates. He hoped it did with his friends here.

"Is everybody ready? Then let's finish this!" He said. It had always worked with his football teammates. He hoped it did with his friends here.

Gwen smiles silently to herself at the quarterback asserting himself.

Looking to the remaining villain, Sabretooth, who would likely resist Gwen's webbing, Gwen wonders if he is as resistant to her mental abilities. She swings on her webline over Colossus and lands atop a lightpole.

Gwen shifts, then proclaims, "Look, Wolverine is here to clean up this mess. Hey Logan, let's take out the trash!" She turns to Sabretooth and smiles. Sure enough, behind Colossus and to the left, Wolverine approaches from around the corner.

"Yo, Petey," Gwen says. "Let's see if Sabretooth here is a fraidycat."

[Victim]

Hmm, that will hold for now. Fight or continue treatment? She ought to be stable for at least 30 more seconds. That should be enough. Temper dashes outside, bending low. ... 4 ...

If she can catch sight of the bestial Sabretooth, Temper will snap off a quick bolt at the first possible opportunity with a flick of her wrist.

[Imerak]

Molly Hayes is bored. This is a statement that should, when heard by a knowledgeable person, carry the same sense of foreboding doom as "we're all gonna die" or "we need to talk."

Yes, Molly is bored, and to top it off she's unreasonably bored. She was at a school for mutants and superheroes. It should be interesting! But so far it was all waiting around and learning stuff. Molly needed something to do... something interesting... something that a huddled group of people, talking quietly about and using worlds like "humiliate" would be involved in.

Molly bounds up to the group, grabbing two of them by the shoulders and forcing her way into the circle. "Hey guys! What's goin' on? You planning something?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Bwah!" Calypso yelps as another girl pushes in beside her. She scoots back a step and jams her fists against her hips.

"Wha...who the hell are you?!"

 

[Relique du Madde]

Miranda was looking at herself in her compact's mirror when Molly pushed her way into the group. I think need make-up. She glanced at the small girl. "By the way she shoved herself into the circle, I'm guessing one of the power-puff-girls.." She smiled and reached for some mascara.

"We're planning to throw a surprise party for pyro..." She grinned.

 

[Caros]

"Eh, well I don't think the school has a dress code, considering some of the outlandish stuff I've seen worn around here." He paused briefly, looking her over and begining to calmly repeat his mantra, casting a guilty look at Wi-Fi as he continued. "And as far as the teachers are concerned, If anyone gets busted over this it'll end up being me. And for the chance to show up Pyro... I'll take a few days detention."

He paused, glancing down as the small girl burst her way into the group, provoking a little bit of startled laughter from some, himself included. "You know, for super powered mutants... The hiding place we picked to develop our master plan is sort of lacking."

Miranda could only chuckle. Violating a relaxed dress code was not what she would have gotten in trouble for, nor was she thinking about her part in the plan. Never the less, she was lucky that no one who could see the invisible was watching as she took off her shirt.

"You know, for super powered mutants... The hiding place we picked to develop our master plan is sort of lacking."

If she wasn't busy concentration on doing her make-up, she might have said: Sometimes, the best hiding place is out in the open.

As Miranda glanced towards Nicolas and Kenny's end of the table, she found herself hesitating for a moment as she bit her lip. Something deep down was bothering her about the plan; unfortunately, she was unsure what it was. She thought hard for several seconds as she tried to figure out what was causing her unease, but then when no answers came into focus she gave Alchemist a weak smile. "So, Nicolas, what time should I meet him at?" She then quickly glanced over to Wi-fi, "Kenny, are you able to locate Pyro?"

He flashes a winning smile, "Easily."

Molly bounds up to the group, grabbing two of them by the shoulders and forcing her way into the circle. "Hey guys! What's goin' on? You planning something?"[/color]

"Oh... Hey Molly, what's up? We're planning Pyro's humiliation and we think we have a plan. Don't tell anyone else though, eh?" he winks at her.
