Alex watched the footage on television. The expression on his face didn't change. He hid what he was thinking inside. This was ridiculous on both ends. That mutant wasn't making things easier for them by doing unnecessary things like this. He was one of the mutants that gave this registration act the push it needed. That collar though. It had to do something. The collar didn't look like an ordinary accessory to a rave and he was sure the authorities wouldn't be able to peacefully walk him out if it didn't do something to stop his powers. He was with David. They already had a way to stop the use of their powers. The research and money it had to take to make that was one of the things that concerned him. What if his parents had been backing something like this?

He turned to look at Sumat as he spoke. This guy was the Uncle Tom of the mutants. He wanted to say something, but he didn't want to start an argument that would lead nowhere. Plus the guy ended up leaving. Alex didn't trust the Mutant Registration Act or this "disposal" method of criminal mutants. They could turn this into the extermination of all mutantkind if they wanted to and this guy didn't think humans were capable of that. And don't even get Alex started on the gun statement. Non-mutants carried guns way before they knew about mutants. He sighed and turned to Artemis who didn't know what the act was.

[color=00aeef]"Mutant Registration Act. It's where mutants register who we are and what our powers are so they could keep a tighter eye on us than they already do."[/color] He then turned to the girl who introduced herself as Jackhammer. He was sure that wasn't her real name, but he didn't have any other name to introduce himself as so he went with his real one. [color=00aeef]"Jackhammer, I'm Alex."[/color] He said with a smile. [color=00aeef]"It's nice to meet you as well."[/color] He said despite her really only saying it was a pleasure to meet Artemis.

-----Thursday: Mutant Power Training-----

Alex wasn't sure why he signed up for Power Training at 9 A.M. He liked being able to sleep in and the fact that this was really just starting off like gym class wasn't sitting well with him. It wasn't like he wasn't athletic. He of course was, but this was too early to be running five laps around a field. The only consolation for this was that he had his two new best friends with him and Jackhammer as the student assistant. He wasn't going to look like a fool out here with her and Beatrice watching.

[color=00aeef]"Ready to start, Artemis and David?"[/color] He asked while running in place.

Meanwhile Christian was pumped for this. He was going to be able to use his speed without any limitations. Except for the ones that he would put on himself. He didn't want to leave these guys so far into the dust, right? He smirked and prepared to show them how it's done. He realized that they wouldn't really be able to see him run the five laps if he moved at mach 2 so he decided to go slower. It was a shocker to him as well.

When Michelle started he took off and turned around when he reached her. [color=ed1c24]"See you and the others in five turns."[/color] He gave his best modeling smile and turned around before starting off again. He was running slow enough for the others to actually see him move around the field in a blurred state. He came around and overlapped the others until he finished his five. He then decided to sit down and yell to their coach. [color=ed1c24]"What do I do while I wait for them?!"[/color]
