X-Men/X-Changed, Issue1: Trial By Fire

-Mistress Mind
time unknown
a hospital floor

Ok lady, I have no idea why, but I almost believe you.

The angry sound of police sirens breaks into their conversation and Mistress Mind can see at least four cars arriving in the front parking lot of the hospital.

"But my colleagues sure won't."

Detective Thorn let's his guard down and puts the gun back into his jacket.

"Look, you know more than you tell me. So if you know anything about that girl you have to tell me. If no one helps her she is as good as dead. You have seen what kind of assasin they sent after her allready. She just happened to see something that was too big for her."

He makes way so Mistress Mind can reach the door unhindered and holds up a card.

"You should go or this will end in a lot of trouble. And either you in prision or a lot of injured cops, maybe both. I know you think you can do this all by yourself but then you realize what kind of crap you are in give me a call."

"Holy crap!" Shar exclaimed, her eyes flashing upwards to get a quick look at whatever was coming down at them. Quickly shifting her sight to look through the roof nearly blinds her, but she looks away quickly. "Well, this isn't a good development," she says. "But it's one problem we might be able to eliminate."

Scanning the street ahead for a very simple item, a fire hydrant, she tells Frank, "I don't feel like cooking, so I'm going to stop to try to get rid of this flying... thing. We might need a new car," she adds, pulling out a pair of scarves and tossing one to Frank. She quickly ties one around her face to mask her identity, giving Frank a small shrug.

Pulling out her thunder stick, she throws the driver door open and blasts the hinges, sending it flying free. Bearing down on the fire hydrant, she prepares to make sure it ends up on her side of the car. "Funny thing, Frank," she says loudly. "I've never wanted to be a fireman! Hang on!"

She slams the brakes hard, bringing the car to a screeching halt, hoping the firey bird goes past them. She'll leap from the car, trying to blast either an end off the hydrant or just the entire thing apart, then use her staff to direct the water flow at the fiery nemesis.

That's the long way to say I wanna put out the fire And of course if there is no fire hydrant (unlikely, but hey), she'll just drive really really fast towards the river or docks.

driving aimlessly but damn fast away from Rogue

oog: natural 20 on the driving roll. first roll since the game restarted...

Frank holds on tight as Shar brings the car to a very spectecular halt, making it spin once around itself. Pyro's fire creature passes overhead. It has no chance to slow down enough to get any chance to attack. With a shot from the thunderstick Shar blasts the firehydrant (no roll required, that was justtoo good an idea) and a fountain of water smashes into the belly of the bird. Within seconds it vanishes into a could of smoke and only a few harmless sparks raun down towards the two mutants.

"Ohmygod, it worked!" Shar exclaims, immediately hopping back into the car and pulling it around in the street. "I didn't think that would work that well," she says with a grin, flicking her sight into all around vision mode to check on traffic, dangers and Mystique. Putting the hammer down, she accellerates away before any more terrifying surprises fall upon them, trying to steer her way back to Westchester and the Xavier Institute.

Mistress Mind: Human/Female (PL8)

The cold features of Mistress Mind break into a small tight smile at the cop’s professional courtesy, before she nods her head and accepts the card.

Glancing at the card she quickly scans it and replies as she tucks it into her outfit, “Detective Thorn, thank you, your politeness will not go unnoted but I know little of this girl except for what you tell me, sounds like the kid has the worst kind of luck… I’ll keep an eye out for her and inform you of any leads I uncover. Have your men check the building and I will begin searching the immediate area around the building.”

Floating she starts to drift to the destroyed window, and the quick escape it provides but she stops short, “What does this said girl look like? What’s her name? And exactly who is after her?”

a hospital floor


"A bit smaller than you, auburn hair. I just saw her in the ambulance."

He looks worried back to the emergency room.

"We have no idea who she is. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But if I don't find her before the Mafia does she is as good as dead. You've seen what kind of muscle they can hire. Just so many superfreaks around these days."

And excusing smile appears on his face once he realizes who is standing before him.

"Sorry, nothing against mutants but having crooks with superpowers doesn't make my job any easier."

Mistress Mind can hear the police storming the building and heads for the back exit. Outside she can see it is alleady morning with a few people on the street. Of course she draws more than one curious look.
Suddenly she vanishes out of existance.

on an unkwon street in New York

Alicia finds herself on a busy morning street. She has no idea how she came here and the first thing she notices is a car racing right towards her.

-Shar, Data

on their way to the Xavier institute after they escaped from the brotherhood

As if the morning hadn't been strange enough allready Shar suddenly sees a women dressed in what she can only describe as some fetish outift right before her car. The women doesn't seem to notice her and changes her form almost the instant you see her. Suddenly a young women stands confused on the street and stares right into your headlights.
Emergency breaks seem to be the order of the day and Shar manages to stop the car and turn it sideways before she can hit the girl.

"Oh damn I thought he got away from them. Is that one of those crazy evil mutants too?"

 

[Calinon]

"Holy <censored>!" Shar shouts as the car slides to a halt mere feet from the girl. "I'm getting really sick of this!" she exclaims, kicking open the door of the car and stepping out. "I don't know who you are, girl," she says, quickly trying to ascertain if the girl is a mutant, "but don't even think of starting anything! I've had it up to here with people attacking me for one day," she adds without patience, walking up to her and grabbing hold of her arm to pull her off the street.

Psyche: Human/Female (PL5)

Alicia looks confused and frightened as she pulls herself up from the pavement where moments before she had tossed herself out of the way of the speeding car. The concrete pavement was hard and unforgiving dazing Alicia as she tried to figure out where she was and what had happened.

It was the pain that was the first clue, her head hurt from the impact, but what was more trouble was the lack of pain as she felt little from where she was shot on a few minutes ago, “What happened to me? The restaurant…?”

A confused and dazed Alicia looks up at the woman offering her a helping hand, she realizes that she had been talking to her but in the noise and confusion she had missed it all, “I’m sorry… I’m not sure how I ended up in the street like that… That was rather stupid of me.”

As the other women leads her from the street Alicia quickly looks around the scene almost like she looking for conformation of her stupidity, “Where am I? I don’t recognize this street…? Is there an Italian restaurant in the area?”

 

[Calinon]

Detecting the mutant gene in the girl does little to set Shar at ease. "Are you with the other mutants who attacked us?" Shar demands. "On second though, I don't really care. Get in the car," she says, pushing the girl towards the open door of the front seat. "You're coming with us. Charles will know what to do with you."

Psyche: Human/Female (PL5)

Alicia looks confused and slightly insulated, “Attack you? Charles? Lady, I’ve never seen you before…” Somewhere in the middle of her words her look changes to one of worry, “I told you people before! I didn’t see anything! Why can’t you people just leave me alone?”

Alicia no longer allows the woman to push her towards the car as she tries to draw attention to her adduction, “Quit I don’t want to go with you! Police! Fire!”
