"I would not mind learning more about my powers. But what is ths dangerous matter that you speak of?"

Brandon smiled at Angela . . . he was happy that she was considering taking a look at the school also . . . and at least she was interested in discussing the danger. He was hopeful that perhaps he could learn how to better control his powers by spending more time with her and learning how she control hers.

Brandon looked over to the professor dude and added, "Well, I guess that makes us all in agreement. What sort of trouble could there be that you'd need the three of us to help?"

Xavier does seem almost shoked at the suggestion that he could have been called because Gemini and Phoenix are a burden.
"I assure you that Iron Fist had nothing to do with my appearance here. We have met once before but this is a coincidence. I have my own way of detecting mutants.
Thank you all for your offer but you should at least here what happened before you agree.
Many of my students have flown to a far of Island to investigate the appearance of a newly awakened mutant. A very powerfull one. I do not know what happened but only one of them returned and that without any memory of what happened. I am short on time and so I need to find help for him to get back there and look for them as soon as I can. In my search I detected you three in the city."

How do you know that the rest are still alive? Brian asks the professor.

"Even though I can not reach them with my telepathy I am sure that I would sense it if somone I knew so long died. And even without that I can not just leave it be because they might be dead. And if they are in danger it is even more reason to act swiftly."

He smiles and stands up with you.
"No problem I have done the calm the parents speach a few times. But don't rush it, as I said we can give you a safe place to stay for a while, before you decide if you want to join you can take your time and of course your parents can visit the school before you decide."
As you leave the backroom you hear loud shouts as guests come running by, fleeing from the direction of the front door.
The reason becomes clear seconds later then six men in military fatigues storm the building, each waving his submachinegun as if he's Rambo's little brother. The one up front shouts over the panick.
"No need to panick, we're here to make an arrest. No one will get hurt!"
He looks over the mass of people.
"I don't see him right here, there is Jake French?"


-Mistress Mind
time unknown
a hospital floor

The cop looks more than a bit confused and suddenly screams.
"Down"
He shoots his gun. Mistress Mind blasts him with her mental powers and he falls back stunned. Too late she realizes he didn't shoot at her
but at a new threat. Below her the half transulent form of a tall man is floating out of the ground. His legs are still completly sunken into the floor. At first you can not see his face as it only consists of swirling mists and streaks of the myst go as far as the wall there the cops bullet impacted after passing harmlessly through the ghost. The myst then gathers to form a haggard looking face with a goateee that would qualify the man to be the main villain in a Flash Gordon episode. His whole form glows in soft green light that seems to gather mostly around his closed fists. He rises incredibly fast and as soon as his feet are out of the ground his form becomes more solid and a fist like a sledghammer hits Mistress from the side (attack roll of 20) .
Her force field catches most of the blow but she still takes a hit (rolled a total of 21 to soak, failed by 3).
"Told you dat won't work on me mon ami and even you lovely lady won't stop Felafont from a contract."

Mistress Mind 15
Cop (stunned) 9

"I hand it to you. You're good. But I'm the best. Just play with like the professinal you are and no one will get hurt. Especially not you. Something worh considering with a gun on your neck."
The female voice quite obviously belongs to the same person pressing a gun right at Shar's back. And even though your supersenses failed to warn you of her approach you are damn sure it is the same voice of the driver you met before. She is whispering in your eye and Frank is standing only a few feet away, drinking the coffee he got for both of you without noticing a thing.

“These people sound like they’re very important to you,” Brandon commented. “If they’re in trouble, I don’t have a problem helping out. I had plans on working with Iron Fist for the next couple of days . . . but that’ll wait until I get back from helping you.”

“If haste is what you want,” Brandon added, “I can be ready to go in a couple of minutes . . . gotta make goodbyes and gather my stuff, little of it though there is.”

He looked at Angela and felt bad, knowing that she had even less that he did. He hoped she wouldn’t take it the wrong way . . . sometimes he was just too quick to talk.

Sharon rolls her eyes, not actually moving yet still able to see all about her. She looked down at the gun pressed into the back of her neck.

"Even the best have their off days," Sharon says calmly. Inwardly, she was boiling, unsure how, with her ability to see all about her, in the dark, to see the mutant gene and to pick up the smallest scents, she had been so distracted as to miss the woman's approach. Shoving the distracting thought aside, she felt with her senses, getting in tune with her innate defense mechanism, feeding her energies to it, focussing her own attentions to the gun at her neck, between her skin and the end of the barrel.

She tensed her muscles ready to turn away, to try to force the woman to miss. Senses tingling, muscles taught, and keenly aware that Frank was unprepared... she rolled to the side, reaching for her staff even as the woman fired her gun.

Actions
Readied deflection (+12 on deflection roll) vs attack roll. Deflect multiple times if necessary (-2 to the check for each added deflection). Use the catch stunt on any bullets. If I catch/deflect successfully, use extra effort to gain the reflection extra and send the bullets back at the woman.

Provided I only have to deflect once, also attack with my Thunder Stick melee (+8 to hit, +7S damage [+6S, +1 STR]).

Use a HP to re-roll any deflection roll that I get under 25 deflection score for. If I don't need the HP for the re-roll, use it to counter fatigue on gaining reflection extra.

She lowered her eyes at Brandon's words, staring down at the floor. She knew that he hadn't meant that as a barb, but it still stung. She had nothing, and up until a few days ago, no one had really cared if she continued to exist or not. She crossed her arms over her chest and said quietly, "I just need to give my thanks to Iron Fist before we go. I do not know how much help I can be, but I will try." And if she died on this myterious mission, it wouldn't really matter, because no one would miss her.

 

[Mimic]

I'm good to go. My folks will be more than happy to forward my stuff to what ever location you want them too.

Brian notices the girl look down at the floor when the other guy mentioned not having much stuff. It was pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together.

Don't sweat it babe, the only thing not having stuff means is you don't have to lug it all over the place. He tells her, giving her a smile.

"I guess you are right," she said quietly. She smiled a little, trying to shake off the depths of depression. Being sad about her situation was not going to do anything to change it.

Then, it occurred to her that she was being rude. She looked up at the guy who was sitting across from her. "I am sorry, I did not catch your name. My name is Angela."
