"You are late. You will need to hurry. Mimic won't care if you're a new student. He will just care that you are late. And that is one teacher that you don't want to be angry with you. Here is the list of your classes. Power Development and Gym are together with everyone else. The other two should be classes you chose based on your interests and goals.Your dorm room will be listed on there is you applied for one. I will show you have to get to class." The woman at the desk greeted the new arrival. She handed the girl a piece of paper

@Mistress Dizzy@Eviledd1984@CajunRobinHood
"We are waiting on one more. Then you will be strapped in and you will join the other. You need to just right in just the way you would in a real situation. This simulation will feel as real as possible. We want your reactions to be real. We hope these simulation will keep you from panicking when real sitations like this occur."Mimic answered. He handed each of them a helmet.

@KatherinWinter

"Thank you...and this will not hurt us..during the simulation?" He asked rising a black brow. Holding the helmet in his pale hands looking at it like it was some sort of alien creature. He was looking over towards his friend whom was waiting outside of the door with Roy motioning them to head back to his room while he was in class.

Jin was about to open her mouth and ask who the goth-boy's friends were, but when she was handed a helmet, the technology distracted her. She immediately began wondering how it worked, if it was programmed or simply some advanced VR unit? How advanced, then? Could they be hurt in the simulation? Would there be aftereffects?

She turned and grinned at Magnus, helmet in her lap. "To answer your question, mathematically it's just coincidence. There's no solid answers without more data. But I'd like to work together all the same. I can teach you a few fighting basics if you like later. You'll probably pick it up easy. I think we'll make a great team, Mags."

"Alright, let me see what I can do." She summoned her paper to both hands, creating a large, flat surface. Then she began to lift some of the heavier rubble up and out, until there was a path she could slide into. "Connor, be ready!" The first survivor came up on a smaller version of Kijani's plane, bloodied and battered, but relieved.

@Mistress Dizzy

"Looking over at Jin with a rised brow feeling all but confused by all of this. Never the less if he had to wear this strange device over his head then he would. "Would not kill me..would it" He thought holding the VR helmet in front of his face examining the device still. "And what..and you two do exactly?" He asked referring to their powers.

Modlen jumped slightly as the woman appeared, before quickly apologising and accepting the piece of paper. Following the instructions, Moddy made her way to see Batman. The meeting was brief and largely common sense stuff. No attacking other student unprovoked, show up for class, everyone here was welcome and given the opportunity at a birghter future, that kind of thing.

Before long though, she and Makoto were dismissed and found themselves waiting politely outside the classroom. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door, standing there awkwardly.

"Hi. Sorry, I'm new here and was told that I needed to come here for my first class?"

@KatherinWinter

@Mistress Dizzy
Magnus responds with a chuckle, "Sounds like a plan." He holds the helmet in his hands and, upon close examination, recognizes striking similarities between the helmet and a technology of which his father had told many stories. When the X-Men were still active, Charles Xavier had created a computer system called Cerebro, which allowed the user to forge a mental connection with thousands, if not millions of people at a time. If these helmets truly contained even a fraction of Cerebro's power, the simulation would most likely be indistinguishable from reality for those within it. "I wonder how thoroughly this has been tested and what the physical side effects would be if one's virtual self were to die during the course of a simulation."

@Mistress Dizzy

Looking over his shoulder as he heard the sound of not one but two bodies thumping against the ground, Draco blinked a little in surprise at first before an approving grin appeared that was meant just for his shark leather wearing companion. "Nice work." Was all he had time to say before scanning for their next targets.

@Goliah

Makoto smiled at Modlen.

"Your wings are beautiful. Flight must be quite a wild ride." Makoto considered the difference between meta humans and mutants. Considering this she realised that she was likely more akin to a meta human but when it boiled down to it, did it really matter? "I'm sorry to hear that where you come from there is a difference. Where I am from there is just fear... now there is some fascination but it still takes time for people to accept us." Makoto's heart swelled with pride as Molden chose to expose her gifts.

"The receptionist should call us in shortly. Batman is never too far from the schoo-"

"Makoto? Modlen?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes?" Makoto answered.

"You can both go see Batman. He is in his office now. Make sure to knock."

"I guess that means we get to go see the principal." Makoto said, smiling at Modlen.

Makoto turned and walked down the hall to see Batman. Once she got to the office, she realised that Modlen hadn't followed her. She wondered where the girl had gone.

~~~

The meeting with Batman was brief and to the point, as always. He made his expectations and warnings clear. Now she was headed to the gym yo join Mimic and the class. She smiled to herslef, looking forward to more training. There seemed to be another young man in the hall far ahead of her.

There was a knock at the classroom door before it promptly opened, revealing a slim white-haired teen who lazily yawning, his arms stretched out. Without a word he made his way to a chair that wasn't taken and plops down. The boy looks around the room and takes a deep breath before shouting out loud, "Hello! Name's Sol! Glad to meetcha!" the newly introduced Sol grins, pleased with himself.

@Goliah@Mistress Dizzy@Eviledd1984@CajunRobinHood@Hidden Lilly@TechnoWizROK
"The helmets are safe. Many classes have used them with no adverse effects. When you arrive you will need to respond quickly. Things are already in motion." Mimic told the new arrivals. Technology made people nervous. Especially when it messed with your mind the way the simulation helmets did. But so far no one had been harmed by them.

A several tank rolled into the area. Soldiers began pouring out of them. They didn't start helping the people that were in the burning buildings. Nor did they stop the looters. Instead they targeted the mutants. They didn't use regular guns. They used lasers, freeze guns, flamethrowers, and other nonconventional weapon available to them. It was clear that they thought the students were a threat.

@KatherinWinter

Roy was still looking at the helmet confused taking a deep breath and putting it over his head. He could see and somewhat feel the class changing to a different landscape. "What?" He thought looking around at the building and soldiers now firing at them. A laser wizzing pasted his ear making him recoil crouched down on the ground.

"Bastard" He muttered now standing up now looking around and could not see any near by cemetery. So he would have to try and expand his range and try to bring some any cemeteries near.

With an unsure but quick glance at the other two new students, Magnus slides the helmet onto his head. For a moment, he thinks the helmet must be faulty, as nothing seemed to happen. He blinked in confusion, but when he opens his eyes, his surroundings had conpletely transformed. No longer was he in a posh, yet very sturdy school. Now, he was amidst what seemed to be a warzone.

He slowly turns in a circle, taking in every detail and allowing his mind to work its magic. "The buildings all seem to have taken damage from a central source, with the capitol building being the most heavily affected. Most likely a bomb, with the origin point being that smoldering carcass of a, van, maybe? Other than smoke the air seems fine and my skin isn't blistering, so the bomb is neither dirty nor nuclear, just straight explosive. That's a relief, I suppose." He crouches behind a small pile of rubble and watches carefully as tanks roll in and soldiers stream out. "Tanks aren't usually personnel carriers, so I doubt these were sent by a recognized nation. These seem closer to a war machine built by someone like AIM or Hydra. Their uniforms seem fairly organized and their use of flamethrowers is something the Nazis loved...The fact that they seem to be attacking metahumans would suggest they're trying to take out the biggest threats first, which makes sense. Now how can I help my classmates?"

Cole looked up with a child in his arms as the soldiers rolled up. He raised a brow and then quickly shielded the small girl. "Now this is more entertaining....child...run and play hide and seek okay?" the child took off and Cole stood. His hand went into a pocket and pulled out a knife. In moments the metal warped and lengthened until he was holding a sword. "You'd think you would be more concerned with saving people but I guess you're no better then the looters now are you?"

Cole smiled as he made his way to them, until finally he started fighting. It was blooding and Cole slowly became more and more covered in blood.

Hachi looked at Jasper who shook his head. They seemed to communicate without speaking until Jasper shifted and lunges at the soldiers. Hachi shifted and ran through them heading straight for the burning buildings.

Jasper was clearly playing the distraction to let hachi get as many people out of the wreckage as possible. His form became engulfed in flames, but he was quickly becoming overwhelmed.

Sol tilts his head in confusion, "Maybe they didn't hear me?" he thought out loud. Glancing around the room he notices everyone with the helmets on, after being handed one of the same devices the teen slips it onto his head. Slowly his surroundings dissolves away into a war-torn landscape; full with destroyed buildings, rubble and various soldiers with an assortment of weapons. "Huh.. neat," he notes with a blank face before deciding to take a nice long walk around the place.

Connor watched Kijani, content to do so, and he was more than ready to help if he was required, and as soon as the first person appeared, he helped them down, making sure they weren’t about to pass out, before getting ready to help the next, he kept an eye on Kijani, making sure she was okay as well, he shifted slightly, and with a motion, he cast light before them, to see if they could see down there. @Mistress Dizzy

Makoto entered the room and waved a hello at Mimic. Following instructions, Makoto picked up a headset and went to stand by Kat. It was good to see her friend again. She placed the heavy technology on her head and waited to be transported.

Makoto ducked as soon as the scenery changed. The lower she was to the ground the better chance she had, no matter what environment she would be in. Dust settled around her as a chunk of a building had fallen off close to where she was. She saw the soldiers, their weapons and the civilians. Makoto tucked herself behind a close turned over car in a defensive position. Communication was going to be difficult with this task as she found that there were no intercom microphones. They would actually have to be in hearing range of one another to communicate. It seems as though she had spawned in close to the other newcomers, an unfamiliar team. There was not much around she could use and with her close range fighting style, the advantage was not hers. In an unrefined manner, Makoto reached out to see if she could sense any weapons that ran off of an electrical charge. If they did, maybe she could short circuit it.

@KatherinWinter

Following Makoto's lead, Modlen entered the classroom and... no one noticed. No one actually seemed to care. A grey-skinned girl with wings had just stepped in and no one gave it a second thought. It felt... normal? Was this what normalcy was like? She'd gotten so used to people staring that it almost felt strange to not be noticed.

Sitting obediently in a free seat, Modlen placed the helmet over her head, following the teachers instructions. From what she could tell it was an elaborate VR headset, like an Oculus or Vive but much more hi-tech and covering more of her head. Sitting back, Modlen flipped the switch and entered the simulation.

@Hidden Lilly@KatherinWinter

A minute or two into Sol's scenic walk around the simulation the sentient fragment Infinity Gem came across a unit of five, no six, soldiers on a patrol around the perimeter. Quickly reacting he ducks for cover behind some rubble, wanting to keep the element of surprise. As soon as the unit gets into position Sol shoots up into the air only to immediately crash back down in the midst of the soldiers as a ball of fire. With his opponents either heavily burnt, knocked off their feet or both, the teen grabs the one lying closest, whose light armour was charred black, by the collar, "Hello. How do you do?"

Connor watched Kijani, content to do so, and he was more than ready to help if he was required, and as soon as the first person appeared, he helped them down, making sure they weren’t about to pass out, before getting ready to help the next, he kept an eye on Kijani, making sure she was okay as well, he shifted slightly, and with a motion, he cast light before them, to see if they could see down there. @Mistress Dizzy

Kijani thanked Connor for the light, and continued to slowly hand people up. After a while, her ears started to ring with the effort of keeping the plane together. "Connor, I might be tapped out soon." She made sure the last person was safely up before she stopped. To her surprise, the battered woman scooped her up in a motherly hug.

"Thank you, thank you so much! What's your name?"

Kijani blinked several times, before managing to croak out "Origami" in a confused voice.

"Thank you, Origami! And you too!" She waved up at Connor before going to join a small group of other rescuees. Kijani was still, staring down at her feet. No one had ever thanked her that way before. It was new.

"...she got... blood on my uniform." Kijani made a show of trying to wipe it away, taking a moment to reign in a sudden desire to cry.

With an unsure but quick glance at the other two new students, Magnus slides the helmet onto his head. For a moment, he thinks the helmet must be faulty, as nothing seemed to happen. He blinked in confusion, but when he opened his eyes, his surroundings had conpletely transformed. No longer was he in a posh, but very sturdy school. Now, he was amidst what seemed to be a warzone.

He slowly turns in a circle, taking in every detail and allowing his mind to work its magic. "The buildings all seem to have taken damage from a central source, with the capitol building being the most heavily affected.

Now how can I help my classmates?"

Jin put on the helmet as well, but she took to her new surroundings much faster. "Damn... this is bad." Checking her suit and lowering a set of pink goggles over her eyes, she let the data gather from her surroundings. "We've got people working on rescuing civilians already. Some dude in a robot suit and some girl. Definitely have some fighters, and -" She hissed and swore under her breath as she was suddenly overwhelmed by electrical feedback, her display scrambling before sorting itself out. With a frown, she pulled the goggles up, ready to fight. But then she realized the interference was a friendly accident. Keeping low to the ground, Jin approached the girl who'd caused the surge.

"Hey. That was a really neat trick. Could you maybe steer it away? You're messing up my sights a little bit." She flashed the other girl a big smile, trying to look safe. Her uniform was matte black, but it seemed to pulse with pink circuitry ebbing and flowing around it. "I think I could help you get some targets to knock out, if you want?"

@Hidden Lilly@Mistress Dizzy

As Magnus surveys the scene he notices the arrival of someone wearing a black suit, crackling with pink electrical currents. When the stranger didn't immediately start attacking metahumans, Magnus decided they must be a friendly. He stealthily makes his way to him, picking up the sound of orders being barked in German. "That settles it, definitely Hydra." He reaches the suited individual right as they approach a young, blonde girl. "We'll skip the formalities for now. Do either of you have a plan?" he asks, "Because if you don't, I do."
