Danny Rand's place

"Well, thank you. All of you. I did not think I would find people who would so readily agree to help."
He listens cloesly to the conversation, letting all of you the time to get to know each other before he opens the door again.
"Please take your time with Iron Fist, I can get back to you later if you would like."

Danny is waiting upstairs, gazing on the car and looks lost in deep thought then Brandon and Angela get back up.

The whole fight is so fast that no one around even notices it. The muzzled shot is almost silent and Shar has only half turned around then Mytique gets hit by her own reflected shot and sinks to the ground unconscious.
OOC: Does Mystique change back when she gets knocked out?

Kicking the gun into a nearby sewer drain, Sharon crouches next to the unconscious woman, quickly checking the extent of her injuries. Even though the woman had attacked her, Sharon wasn't about to leave a mutant disabled or dying in the street for anyone to find.

Skills: Medicine +3, to ascertain her injuries, then to apply first aid if needed, so she and Frank could move her.

Certain she was currently no threat and in no danger of dying, she shrinks her staff and puts it away in its holster. "Frank, we've overstayed our welcome. Let's put your powers to use and get a car," she says, looking around at nearby parked vehicles for one without a tracking device, children, a dog or security system by shifting her sight to look through things again. "That one," she says, pointing to a nearby sedan. "Just convince it to open the locks and start the engine, ok? Charles can sort it out with the owner later." I hope, she adds to herself.

OOC: If Mystique is just knocked out, leave her, but if she's in worse shape, she's coming with us.

"Well, thank you. All of you. I did not think I would find people who would so readily agree to help."

Hey, anything has got to be better then going to school.
 

As Scott stands up to the soldiers in front of them, Jake looks at him with open amazement and trusts that as long as Scott seems confident that things will work out, he will do his best to back him up.

Taking off the formal jacket slowly, and with more outward calm than he really feels, Jake unbuttons the cuffs of his shirt and rolls them up slightly, giving him more freedom of movement.

"You heard him guys, walk out now and nobody has to get hurt, but threaten us, or my family one more time, and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you don't leave here without being on a stretcher."

Staring at the men in front of him, Jake hopes for the best, but expects the worst.

To everyone's, including Scott's, surprise the soldiers listen to some commands from their headsets and lower their guns.
The one in the front waves them backwards and they leave the building.
"You missed your chance boy, now live with it."
They leave a stunned crowd behind. Scott pulls his shades back up and turns to you.
"Sorry, I had a bad day. Shouldn't have lost my temper. But then, they just went away. Now that's something I realy did not expect."

As Scott's stand causes the soldier's leader to have them withdraw, Jake stares once more at the man with open amazement.

"You have nothing to be sorry for, you just saved us all man. If anything I should be sorry I didn't do more to help."

Seeing his folks coming towards them, Jake steps foward and holds up his hands for them to listen to him for a moment.

"Mom, dad, this is Mr Scott Summers and he is a collegue of Mr Charles Xavier. Paps called Mr Xavier about me, and both he and Scott think that the best thing I can do to get away from Langford's radar is to enroll myself in Mr Xavier's university. I know you both may think this is rushing things, but since we know Mr Summers can't be here watching my back all the time, I'm thinking about going with him to the school to take a look around, maybe stay a day or two there before you guys come up."

Stopping, Jake looks to both Scott and his folks, wondering what his parents are thinking.
 

Mistress Mind: Human/Female (PL8)

Mistress Mind grunts as the blow connects but she continues her assault on Felafont’s mind. As she moves higher into the air hoping to put more distance between her and her attacker she tries to pry into his mind.

OOC: I believe that stunned condition listed next to Mistress Mind is in error isn’t it? If not I will edit my post or something

free action: force field
free action: sustained mental assault (mind blast)
half action: movement away from Felafont
half action: mind control on Felafont with the desire to make him surrender to arrest.

Professor said:
"Please take your time with Iron Fist, I can get back to you later if you would like."

“It shouldn’t be but a couple o’ minutes, sir,” Brandon said. Brandon opened the limo door and motioned for Angela to get out first. He then walked up with her to talk with Danny.

“I’m sorry about the possessions thing . . . it wasn’t meant as a slight to you – honest,” Brandon explained. “I don’t have many things of my own. I lost everything of mine except for the money in my pocket and my bank account, which I practically bled dry to get some clothes and my MP3 player.”

When he got up to Danny, Brandon explained the situation to him, and added, “I really wanted to stay and learn more from you, but the Professor has explained that he may be able to help me better control my powers . . . or at least I hope so. I want to continue helping people, but I think I can . . . we can do it better if we understand our powers and can control them better.”

“I really wanted to help with a certain establishment tonight, but apparently there are some people in danger that need our help. Hopefully, the other thing will keep for a couple of days,” Brandon finished.

Angela slides out of the limosine and pauses once she is out in the sunlight. She glances around nervously, making sure that they were not being watched, but also waiting for Brandon.

“I’m sorry about the possessions thing . . . it wasn’t meant as a slight to you – honest,” Brandon explained. “I don’t have many things of my own. I lost everything of mine except for the money in my pocket and my bank account, which I practically bled dry to get some clothes and my MP3 player.”

"Do not worry about it. I know you did not mean it as a barb, and I should not be so sensitive to things like that," she replies quietly, offering him a small smile. "Besides, if we are to be returning to school, then I should work on not being embarrassed by such things."

When they got up to Danny's apartment, Angela paused, letting brandon go first to speak with Danny. They had, after all, known each other longer, and they probably wanted some privacy to say their goodbyes.

biding their time around a subway station

Frank takes one look at the car but shakes his head.

"I need one that has automated looks. Those are more secure but that's no problem."

He cheks throgh the ones around and finally opens a door. The engine startns running before he is even in.

"I just hope that Charles guy can take care of this as you say. I dont like to steal a car."

As the women behind Shar fell her skin turned dark blue and her hair grew longer and deep red. As someone who worked for Xavier before Shar has heard of Mystique more than once and her natural appearance is something you don't easily forget.
She is bleeding badly but Shar can staunch it with some improvised bandages.
(Medicine roll of 15, enough to stabilize a dying character)
She will still need medical attention but she will make it through the day.

Even though the fight was over before anyone could notice it the sight of a blue women on the groudn quikly draws attention and a crowd of onlookers form a circle around Sharon and Frank. He glances nervously to the car and back to you.

"Do you think that superman rip-of girl from before will get attracted to this scene if she's still around?"

oog: you will make it safely into the car and to the next street regardless if you take her with you or not.


-Mistress Mind
time unknown
a hospital floor

Again Mistress Mind's powers lash out for Felafont. He shrugs of her mental command with barely and effort.
(Power roll of 6 from you)
Maybe it he put his guard down after that or maybe you just found the perfect way around his mental defenses but a second later he sinks to the ground without making a sound. Only his rolling eyes tell of the pain he just feels.
Then he looses consciousness he his form becomes solid again and he hits he ground with a loud thump.
(rolled a natural 20 for the attack. Critical hit for 26 damage. Save of 10-1 for hits. Failed by 17 and got knocked out right away.

The cop puts his again away with a glance at you and shrugs.

"That was impressive. And I guess I couldn't stop you with a weapon even if I tried. Just letme through and look after the girl and I won't even ask who you are."

He smiles at her, realizing how she's dressed for the first time.

"You know you can have my coat if you want it."

"Don't worry, you'll eat half a dozen soldiers for breakfast if you train with us. They couldn't even make me sweat.
But that's just one more reason to stay calm, it really isn't my day."
He smiles at your apology like he never considered it was your job to help and comes with you to greet you parents.

He tells them mostly the same things he did you, inviting them to look at the place themself and have a talk with Professor Xavier himself before they decide anything.

"I'm sorry that he didn't come himself, he was away then the call came and so I just went to chek it out myself. It was not exactly easy to get your grandfather to tell me what's going on after he heard that the Professor isn't home."

Danny turns towards Brandon surprised. You have never seen him letting his alertness drop so much before.

"Don't worry about it. He has a point and I met his X-Men before. Those where good people."

He gives you a reasuring smile and then looks down on the limo again.

"I can't teach you about your powers and I think Xavier has both the resources and the knowledge to help both of you.

He also asked me to help on that mission too. I'm sorry to leave you on your own but I think you can handle it. I will go to that asylum tonight."
He claps you one the shoulder.

"You know you can allways come back.
And if you don't come over for dinner now and again Misty will kill me so either you come on your own or I'll drag you in a bag."

Looking at Angela he sits himself at the sofa between both of you.

"And even worse for you, I didn't even get to know you. But I hope you will come by for a visit too. And again, if you got trouble or Xavier's school isn't what you imagined just come back.
...
Now let's move, goodbyes allways hurt and maybe a new life awaits you down there. Just take care that you come back in once piece, that school aiin't so far away afterall."

"I fear what I offer is another school Brian. But it will be a lot more interesting than any you visited before.
And we will try to sort it out with your parents, why would you think they don't care there you are?"
