New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

[Vanifae]

Nick shakes his head, "Now I am a fungus... well I guess that is a step up from creep."

 

[Shalimar]

"Bloody hell, if its not one things its another." Clover exclaims as the lights go out and then comee back on... "AMY. Check on Sparky, err Jossee, see if she didn't have an accident, ok?"

"Terrorists in the mall, teens with attitudes and powers to bring down the house. All we need now is a villian and we'll be roight proper little X-men."

 

[Samnell]

"There are no specific numbers needed to form a social club." Amy responds, "If specific equipment is needed please refer to Jun Min or the head of equipment aquisitions."

"That's good news."

As you all stand or sit, the lights momentarily flicker off and on before remaining on.

"Seems kind of early for them to skip out on payin the electric bill" John says jokingly.

"Wasn't me," Jerry said quickly.

 

[Hammerhead]

I suppose that my hypothesis about Elite abilities and athletics will be proven soon enough.

"I did not perform any experiments yet," Emmet says defensively, looking up at the light fixtures. "Your roommate was the traumatized French girl, not the other Californian?"

"The villain spot seems taken by whoever organized the attack at the mall on Sunday. In order to be real X-Men however, I am afraid that we still require Patrick Stewart in a wheelchair, a gigantic persecution complex, and an endless amount of whining," Emmet says in a very dry tone. "Oh, and absolutely no understanding of genetics, or any science altogether. We do seem to have a psychotic Canadian though," he adds, pointing at the support pillar.

 

[Victim]

Keller stops as Nick puts a hand on her shoulder. And when a girl calls you a creep, the correct response is not to start touching her. Well, I can make things worse too. "Nick, you have 3 seconds to remove your hand. Otherwise, I'll do it." Give me an excuse, please.

Nick, Mary

Both Yoshi and Layla give Nick a quizzed look. "Main girl?" Layla repeats slowly. "In your dreams maybe." She adds with a smirk. "Yea, what's with this boy thing?" Yoshi interjects. "Lets get something straight here, I'm Batman and your the boy wonder, because it just doesn't get any better then me." He adds running his hand through his hair.

Layla just rolls her eyes. "Please excuse these two, there egos are somewhat inflated." She says to Mary, while giving a light elbow shot to Yoshi. "These two are so bad really, they kind of grow on you... sort of like a fungus." She adds with a laugh. The odd thing is that the words that you hear don't really match up to what her mouth is saying.

So she's the one who communicates or translates brainwaves or whatever. I guess that seems like a decent privacy sort of way to use her power. "Hey, I'm looking foward to seeing you two around," she calls backwards. "Don't worry about the language or whatever - total immersion really is the best way to start learning the stuff. At least as far as talking goes. And your power should make it super easy to start picking things up."


"Do you suppose that's a new building screw up, or an 'adventures in superpowers' screw up?"

 

[Vanifae]

Nick shrugs, "Look sorry okay it was rude, I was joking took it too far... anyway I am thinking that a screw up like that could be over looked if we were not the targets of crazy laser gun wielding maniacs recently."

"Call me paranoid, but they were after something, maybe even elites? It seemed a little too put together for it to be chance. Amy is there a problem with the lighting? We just had a momentary flicker here... everything okay?" Nick asks with a shake of his head. Smooth move, oh well, it was a dumb thing to do... people here are so serious and pent up, I don't get it. Where is the fun?

Nick turns to his friends, "When I say main girl or boy, I am just saying you guys are my good friends; you both are reading way too much into everything... it's like a minefield in here, guess we just all have to get used to each other."

Nick pauses and then offers his hand to Keller, "Look I am sorry, why don't we let bygones be bygones, we just met and there isn't any reason to hold a grudge if you want me to not talk to you cool, but I apologize for being a class A ass. Also I would be careful Keller, things are a little tense... alot of the students got attacked the other day, not sure if you heard about that. With your powers I am sure you can handle yourself, but these guys were packing serious heat."

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Cody is taken aback by Tina's gruff attitude but quickly composes himself, "I wanted to apologize, I think we just got off on the wrong foot over there. I was worried for Emmet and made a quick judgment, and I think we made a poor impression on you. Would you mind giving everyone a second chance?" Cody asks, as sincerely as he can manage.

"You were asking for help with something, right? What did you want help with?

Clover

Josee Charbonneau is presently in her dorm room, she has left instructions that she is very busy and is not to be interupted execpt in the case of an emergency? Do you wish me to page her? Amy replies to your inquiry.

Nick

"Hey, I'm cool with it. I was just letting you know who is top dog around here." Yoshi responds as he zips away only to return with a mountain of food. Pulling out a chair he proceeds to eat.

"I was teasing as well." Layla says leaning over to grab a piece of toast off of Yoshi's plate.

"Hey, I was going to eat that." He replies complaining

"Guess you weren't fast enough." She says with laugh.

"There was a reduction in the power grid causing slight electrical problems. Internal readings indicate it was well within normal parameters." Amy's voice responds to your question.

Cody
"Yea, I'm not going back in there." Tina replies with a snort, "I don't really need anything," she adds in with a sigh. "It was advised," she says making air quotes, "that I should try and make some friends here and your buddy was alone so I thought why not... it didn't turn out so well. I have some anger issues."

"Yes, you do." Raph says stepping in close to Tina, "A lot of anger and saddness too." She continues to study Tina, her head turned sideways like a puppy dog.

Tina gives Raph a look that you have seen very recently, glancing at you quickly. "You want to get out of my face?"

Mary
"I will keep that in mind and I hope we meet again soon." Layla responds mentally as she eats her toast.

Everyone

"So," Yoshi says between bites of his food. "Who decided to redecorate in here?" He says as gestures to the hole in the support beam. "Nick wasn't even here to piss anyone off."

Clover

Josee Charbonneau is presently in her dorm room, she has left instructions that she is very busy and is not to be interupted execpt in the case of an emergency? Do you wish me to page her? Amy replies to your inquiry.

"Amy is she ok though? Her power is electricity, is that where the surge came from? If it isn't no need to bother her." The british girl replied. "Just got to look after my roommate, right?"

"It was that Tina girl, she got torqued off at Emmett since he wouldn't play footsie and then she took it out on the column."

 

[Hammerhead]

"I am still unsure as to why she was so angry, and why it was directed at me," says Emmet, rubbing his arm gingerly where Tina punched him.

"I wonder what the maximum voltage your roommate can generate," Emmet ponders aloud. "If she accidentally discharges electricity on occasion, she must go through electric devices fast."

"Amy, has the cause of the slight power fluctuation been determined? After the events of the mall, some of us have concerns about security."
