Danny Rand's place

"I don't want anyone to have to give up their bed for me," she said shyly. "A blanket and some floor space would be fine...."

"No, no . . . you have the bed, really. See, Danny knows I'm a transplanted west coast boy. I'll be up to the wee hours, probably watching SportsCenter or messing on the computer. I may as well stay out here," Brandon said.

"I guess I could try...." Though she could not feel anything happening, the flames around her eyes could be seen to flicker, before going out completely.

"Woohoo!! That's awesome! Great job!!" Brandon couldn't contain the excitement he felt. Flames appeared and licked on his face and his right arm. Brandon noticed after a moment, and concentrated . . . allowing the flames to subside. Guess there's hope for me yet!" he thought.

again in front of the italian restauran Firenze

The first thing you notice are sounds. Loud ones. Footsteps all around you and there are those police sirens. Two men talk right beside you. They sound profesional and bored.
"Man what a mess. No survivors so no wittnesses either. My bet is on Toni's boys."
Suddenly you feel a hand on your shoulder.
"Look!!! This one's still alive."
A third voice is added to the whole thing.
"How about one of you misfits calls an ambulance, we finally have a witness here, I don't want her bleedin' to death while you get over your surprise."
Another call, it seems as many voices as possilble want to work in concert to cause you a headache.
"Seargent you've got to see this."
The third voice answers.
"What is it now, did you manage to bind your shoes on your own?"
"No,..., well yes that too but we found the killers. At least we think they are the killers. They're dead."

racing directionless through the streets

Just as you take another look back Rogue's eyes hit yours right on and she dives downwards recklessly. To your right a stairway leads downwads to a subway station.

Alicia Emmrich: Human/Female (PL5)

The world was still dark to Alicia as she moans and murmurs uncontrollably as she lies in the ally, “I just want food… I don't need a table sir...”

Agony spreads across her face as she tries to bolt from her unseen adversaries, “Please don’t kill me!”

Her dark green eyes open for a brief second as she sits up in terror as she focuses for a second on the cop next to her with a confused look on her pretty yet dirty face. It last for only a second as her eyes role in anguish and she passes out into his arms.

"Hang on tight, Frank! She's seen us!" Shar says, bringing her bike onto the sidewalk, holding down the horn to warn people as she brakes hard and drives down the stairs.

If they make it down in one piece, she'll dump the bike by the turnstyles and pull Frank with her into the crowd. "Think you can animate the electrical line if we have to?" she asks Frank.

in a subway station

The crowd splits then the bike races down the stairs and Shar only barely manages to keep them from crashing into a wall. You just got enough balance back to run into the mass of people then Rogue appears on the entrance and flys downwards. You can see her mumbling something that could mean: "Oh crap." then she sees there you went and she starts scanning the crowd without much hope. Around you men and women of all ages run screaming away from the bike while an equal number runs away from Rogue.

Museum of Archeology in New York

The guy looks like some kind of general or whatever. All in green and covered with a lot of medals. You didn't get what he wants but your father is just showing him the door and speaking not too friendly.
"I don't care for your attitude Sir and this is still a private area. If my son would feel any need to join the military I am quite sure he would have told me about it sometime! Unlike those boys that wait for you out there he is quite capable of speaking for himself."
It looks like this is not just the average high nosed wannabe VIP who wants to get into closed areas of the Museum.
Outside the window you can see a black limo flanked by two military jeeps, each one manned with three grim looking soldiers.
The guy with the medals says something that you can't understand but your father just pushes him on.
"Yes, I know perfectly well there my dad was back then but I don't care even if you where his best body in the unit during WW2. If you want to catch up with old heroes go to Captain America or something."

Moving through the crowded museum to get to his father, Jake wondered what had just happened.

~Dad's never gotten that rude to someone before...Especially if it might have been someone Paps knew...~

Coming up to stand behind his father, Jake watched as the doors closed on the officer.

"What was that all about dad?"

"Let's get lost in the crowd," Sharon calls to Frank over the screaming crowd, grabbing his hand and pulling him away from the bike and into the fleeing people, moving wherever they do, hopefully away from the flying girl. Her ears ring from the screams, and she hangs onto Frank's hand like a vice so they don't get separated.

Bad move, Shar, she scolds herself. If that girl starts something here, people are going to get hurt.

She scans for another exit, a service tunnel or anything to help her and Frank get out of here.
