Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

[danger room]
[sblock=initiative]
Gwen 27
Temper 27
Quarterback 18(A)
Lightspeed 18(B)
Colossus 17
Sabretooth 10
[/sblock]

Gwen opens her mind for a telepathic attack on Sabretooth but gets some kind of feedback. Screaming in pain she drops to her knees. *Stunned this round, Nauseated next round*
Temper rushes out of the bank, Blasting Sabretooth from the banks front door, vapourizing a patch off his shoulder.
Quarterback jumps up, Inspiring his companions to new heights as Lightspeed extracts herself from the wall. SHe moves up behind the sabretooth but again he manages to sidestep her blow.
Colossus steps forward, flanking the feral, and lands a solid blow on his chin, sending him flying backwards into the wall. He strikes the same hole that Lightspeed had just gotten out of and smashes through the building. He does not come back out.

The room sizzles once and a computerized female voice says "Mission complete. prepare for debriefing", but nothing else happens.
[sblock=ooc]Lucky colossus, he nat-1'd his toughness check. Otherwise the Danger-room would be getting a lot more dangerous now b/c Prof X isn't controlling it right now[/sblock]

[cafeteria -> Front porch]

"Show off" Someone called after Nicolas just as the wall to the cafeteria closed again. *I'll assume anyone who wants to go with him goes*

Wi-fi managed to mentally contact Jean Grey, but the interference was getting worse, and her response was hard to make out, similar to a radio going staticy. "...No.....Deal...ith it..Proffes....." And then her communication was severed as he rounded the corner and saw Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Jean Grey.. The later on her knees, clutching her head in agony. His headache was also getting worse. *Nauseated - Single action*

A few seconds later, the side of the school opens up and Nicolas (& company) steps out.

The view they are all treated to is.. strange to say the least. A young boy, aproximately 15 years old, is standing beside the unconscious form of Beast
"But my master NEEDS the proffessor. You must allow me to bring him home." The boy says.

Storm steps forward to talk to him and he points a finger at her. His hand transforms into some sort of mechanical device which fires a bolt at her, sending her flying backwards, right past WI-fi and into the school. "You will not approach this Vessel. I will collect Charles Xavier and leave."

"Screw that!" Shouts pyro as he and his cronies come around the side to see what the commotion is. He lights his lighter and makes to throw a fireball at the kid, but Cyclops steps towards him "NO, stay out of this, this is no place for chil.. AAAGH!" He stops his beratement as a beam lances into his back, knocking him down.
"I am exceeding my allowable timetable. Events must proceed at a quicker pace" The boy begins walking forwards towards the school, only Wi-fi and Wolverine standing between him and the main doors.

[sblock=ooc]
WI-Fi and Gwen both gain 1 HP for the temporary complication relating to their psychic powers. Also, WI-fi, you get the feeling that the more powerful a telepath is, the more this guy affects them.. If what's happening to Jean is any indication, the Professor's probably out like a light.
Allright, feel free to post initiatives & Actions (Be they diplomatic, combat, or 'run & hide'). He seems intent on getting to the Proffessor, but doesn't care about anyone else.

The current "cast" of good-guys within range of this guy is :
Wolverine, Pyro, Derek, Kitty pryde, and any of the PC's from the Cafeteria who chose to come.

"Professor's down, Ms. Gray is down... its all up to us now." Kenny holds his head, trying to ignore the pounding pain in his head and moves behind the thickest piece of cover he can find. [MOVE ACTION - find cover that will allow me to see the 'kid'] He attempts to send to his friends and everyone with a rather mature head on their shoulders that he can think of +1/2 the x-men are down... little kid thing... powerful weapons... cyborg? ...out front+
 

Calypso, having followed WiFi as well, shouts, "Miranda! If you're here, go find the Professor and get him somewhere safe!"

She then looks at Derek and shakes out her hands.

"Give me something to work with, Phase."
 

Miranda had managed to fly past the child thinking that he was harmless. Fortunately, she managed to turn her head to her right just in time to see the chaos that was starting in manifest in the vicinity of the front porch. "That little bugger just took out Cyclops?!?"

She was starting to panic just as she caught Astrid's comment. The Professor?!? Crap, I hope I still remember how he feels like...

[sblock=Actions]
Standard Action: Notice check using Life Force Detection (Range 1000 ft)= 15

If Successful: Fly towards Pyro then whisper "If you want to help go inside, the professor is in danger...." before entering into the mansion.

If not successful: Fly towards the mansion so I could try again inside the mansion

Quarterback

"Are you okay?" Quarterback asks Gwen, stepping to her side.

[sblock=OOC]
Is there a visible exit from the Danger Room?
[/sblock]
 

[danger room]

Gwen continues holding her head for several seconds before she manages to recover enough to stand, though she still has a massive headache. THere are no visible exits.

COLOSSUS : You know from past experience that when the mission is over, Professor X shuts off the simulation and opens the door. Either there's more to the simulation, or something's wrong. As you're thinking this, you get a staticy mental message from Kenny DeGeorge, AKA Wi-Fi.
".... x-men ..... little kid ... power... ...pons... cyborg? ...out front+"

[Front Lawn]

Wi-fi's headache grows much worse as he reaches out with his telepathy, though he manages not to over-extend himself too much. He's used to networks, and is starting to get the hang of how this thing's interference is working.

Phase smiles at Astrid "With pleasure, Calypso." He grabs a rock and tosses it to her, it transforms into water in mid-air.

Miranda and Pyro turn and run inside to protect the Professor, Miranda stopping for a second to sense him out. She finds him, but as she does so, notices that the kid behind her is NOT a robot, as some may be expecting.. he IS actually alive.

Shadowcat, noting that Miranda & Pyro are allready on their way to the professor, runs at the kid, trying to distract him. He blasts at her, but the shot goes right through her incorporeal form.
"Power Identification: Intangibility. Compensating"

*OK, b/c I felt like updating ;) That was essentially the "surprise round" for the guys out front. Post actions/Initiative pls.*

[Foyer ---> Heading to Professor X's location]
Miranda made herself visible as soon as she and Pyro were inside the mansion. "Thanks for coming with me, Pyro. I hear that when your crew throws down you guys do it dirty." She smiled. "I hope thats true cuz, I'll need as much help as possible to defend the Professor if that cyborg-child has friends." She smiled at him.

"Follow me." She starts running down the hall towards the direction where she felt the Professor's life force.
 

Calypso Uninjured HP 1
Init: 12 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1247733

Astrid pirouettes gracefully in place, flinging out a hand as if to "catch" the water. The glob of water however sweeps around in a spiral, following her movement around and picking up speed as it goes. At the very end of the looping motion, she releases it, and it hurtles at the strange boy at blistering speed.

She concentrates on the water just as it splashes around the boy, forcing its molecules to slow dramatically, and wrapping her target in bonds of sudden ice.

"Make as much as you can," she urges Phase, realizing she doesn't have enough left over to protect herself with.

(Snare! To hit: 27 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1247737 Ref DC 20)
 

"That wasn't so difficult," Temperance smiles. "Good hit. But how'd this Sabretooth escape from the bank in the first place?" Did I just kill someone? It was a simulation - not real; I shot a glorified silhouette target. My emotions are real though, and on that level I was killing someone. Feeling guilty is only appropriate. she thinks, relaxing some of her emotional barriers. Her eyes start to tear up. Dammit, I don't even know that woman's name. But I'd still take that shot if I doing it again. Or in an actual life or death fight.

But that wasn't the end of things, so she rubbed her eyes - streaking virtual? blood onto her face and hair. Stuff to do... "Gwen, are you okay?" Temper asks. "It didn't look like she took a serious hit. Something internal maybe? But if the simulation is over..." she muses, moving over to check the psychic out. I don't see any injury. Walk it off. But Gwen quickly recovers before Temper can more than a visual inspection.

"Are we going to get a debriefing here or what? Is there some other part to this test - like escaping the simulation on our own?" Temper starts to retrace her steps since she entered the room, attempting to make her way back to the door.
