Mutant High Issue 2: A Hard Lesson

[Caros]

Alchemist sighed as he made his way up onto the roof. It brought him back to be here, lines of white spraypaint still clinging to the concrete, forming squares from games he'd played in his youth.

One hand to the door jammed it, fusing the metal and the stone together. From there he simply crossed the large roof, pacing slowly around it. It might appear aimless, but he was heading somewhere, moving to one of the concrete sheaths that sat overtop of the metal heating system.

He knelt next to it, hand brushing away dust from a tiny carving, the heart reading quite simply "N.S. + M.V.". He laughed of course, moving forward then to settle upon it, facing the doorway even as he eyes looked up to the sky. "Come and get me..."

Seeing his new target, Spike warns Wolverine, "It's the tree.... let's hack her down!"

not waiting for a reply, Spikes begins moving to one side of the tree, opposite Wolverine. Then, he lays into the tree, with all he's got...

[sblock=Attack]
Spike will try to cleave off limbs if available. Otherwise, it's simply another attack. +12 Spikes, Move By Action to hit and run again. Attack on Tree (1d20 12=23)[/sblock]

"That is a little overt," Temper agrees with Eric. "How long will the preflight take? Do you have any other equipment or supplies we should gather in the meantime?"

Miranda let out a frustrated yell as she and Pyro slowly approached the Baxter Building. "This is impossible..." She glanced at Pyro and gently rubbed her temples, "Its like searching for a single green flame in a forest of candles. Sure I'm able to ignore the plants, animals, and insects with ease but mutants and humans feel so similar that I can't simply ignore one of the other." Miranda signed and glanced out the window, "Right now I'm starting to think that it would be easier and less frustrating for us if we just decided to check out Mutant Town and see if someone there might know anything the recent attacks on the mansions." She leaned back and closed her eyes as she resumed her nearly impossible task.

After an other slow minute of traffic passed, Miranda began to giggle. "You know, I don't think Cyclops would be too happy if we did go to Mutant Town. He's probably be afraid we'd get shot or Jean's Grey's car would get stolen." Miranda glanced down at the map that Pyro snagged off the internet. "Too bad once Cyclops decideds to go after us, we won't have enough time to do anything besides either go after Nicolas or drive to Mutant Town. Fortunately, it's not my choice to make since I'm not driving.." She grinned.

[sblock=ooc]You missed me. Is Xi'an on the Jet too?[/sblock]

-School-
"We keep the jet prepped at all time, and with our stealth capabilities they shouldn't see us coming." He glanced down at temper
"Another benefit of being friendly with SHIELD." Came the little girl Fury's voice as she bounded up the ramp behind them. "What, you thought I was gonna let you have all the fun?"

"NO. You're staying here. I don't have time to argue with you, but your dad would kill me if I let you come." Cyclops and Fury stare at each other for a moment, but finally she crosses her arms, pouting as she leaves. "You can't keep me away from the fighting forever, old man!!" She shouts as the jet takes off, flying down a long tunnel to emerge from the side of a hill, speeding towards New York.

-New York-
"What makes you think we'd come all the way out here for YOU?" The familiar voice of Quicksilver mocks Nicolas as the wind whips past him, leaving the speedster leaning against the edge of the roof several feet away " Other than, of course, the fact that I did. Nice plan, though.. come out somewhere nobody'll get hurt.. Planning on going all-out, eh? Where's your back-up hiding?"

Miranda is about to give up hope when she senses a familiar life-force moving erratically westward of her, too quickly. Unless someone's taking a low-flying jet for a tour of new-york, Quicksilver was only about a mile away.

-Wilderness-
Spike and Logan go to work hacking limbs off the tree, and soon enough the mutant woman is expelled from it, laying unconscious on the ground.

[sblock=ooc] Sry Shaggy, yeah Xi'an's on the jet if you want him to be.. or he can stay at the school with Calypso & Phase.

Fangor - I decided to fastforward the combat a bit b/c solo all she could do is slow you down a round or two. I allready tried her one ability that could've made it an even fight, and it failed, so I'm saying between the two of you it's no contest.

"Looks like we have our information. Now it's getting it out of them. Think we should call in some transport to get these three back to the mansion to answer some questions?" Spike waits for Wolverine's response, all the while making sure that there are no other threats around.

[sblock=OOC]Otherwise, he's cool with simply moving forwards to when it's needed, or simply continuing this rogue mission. You're call.[/sblock]

Serena smirked. "Not all government is evil," she added, ever the army brat.

"So, what's the plan outside of rescuing Alchemist and telling him what a stupid idiot he is?"

 

[Victim]

Yeah, that's the point. Temper watches how Cyclops flies the plane. "Can I see some maps?"
