[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin shoved Zack behind him. He recognized the man at the door. While he didn't think Magneto could hurt his brother while Zack as inside he wasn't taking any chances. Magneto never traveled alone and Griffin wouldn't be one bit surprise to discover that he had someone with mental abilities with him. Griffin was tempted to change forms but that would draw attention to him. So instead he silently began weaving his way through the crowd looking for Kalinda or someone who was going to take charge of the situation.

Phoebe rose slowly, trying not to draw attention to herself as the people came in. She began looking for Katherin, or anyone else, starting to move through the crowd when she saw her friend. She decided she wanted to be with someone she trusted then and there, and Katherine and herself worked well together in any case. She looked about, disturbed that there wasn't any teachers. What had happened? As Erik Lehnsherr spoke, she stopped. She spoke up, loud enough to be heard "if you were here for any thing more then a talk, you wouldn't have us trapped here. We maybe still in training, but there are more of us here then you" She refused to let the seed of fear that was flowing through her effect her tone, and she maintained a strong voice. Her only clear thought was to draw attention away from her friends, she knew she couldn't hope to draw attention away from all The students, but she could try.

Katherin froze when the door opened. "SHIT!" She rarely curse but she knew exactly who was at the door and what he wanted. She started looking around for her friends. She needed to stay out of sight. Magneto was familiar with her father. She had no doubt that he knew that she was here. But until he saw her she was just another teen in the crowed. Just as she found her friend Phoebe opened her mouth. "Well so much for blending in."

"It's your choice Nicholas and if you want to protect your step sister form harm then i would advise that you speak up for her....or do you want her to be tortured...." Reinhardt said causally checking his nails that were getting long which meant he would have to cut them soon.

"Damn it Phoebe why did you have to speak..." Nicholas stood up and looked over at Magneto who was a few steps away from,"I will go..." He said loudly for him to hear all the while using his vines to give Phoebe a note.

"Do not go after me...and do not join him he will only use you...stay safe do not get in the way...As soon as you leave get mother and get help...What ever you do not join him" It readied.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe smiled at Katherin "I think it's time not to blend in" she said "there aren't any teachers around. Or rather, I can't see any" she said softly "I doubt that can remain hidden for long, and some people might panic. So it's time to step up, don't you think?" She said, taking the note from the vine without even looking at the vine.

She sighed as she read the note, and the crumpled it up. Nicholas was an idiot if he thought she would just do nothing. She kept her eyes on Eric, ready to try and do something if needed to. Do lot get on the way? What was she meant to do, sir around and do nothing? No. That would be going against her training, her own morales and instincts. She couldn't do it.

[Eviledd1984]

Nicholas waiting for the man to speak again and looked around to the people around the older man he started to count them all,His hand shaking a little which was something he usually doesn't do but he had to put on a brave face.He just had to get close to him and spray him or the others with his fear gas and they would be nothing but pudding in his hands.

"I knew you would not back down so...i have a plan i just have to get close to him...i need to spray him with my fear gas....if that fails then you will have to make the kill..." The note said after what he originally wrote.

"Yea expect he can identify me!" Katherin shook her head. Combat wasn't her strong suit. But she wasn't going to allow her friends to be hurt if she could do something about it. "Alright. It we are going to draw attention to ourselves we might as well do it right. Get ready for Froze live." Katherin tapped her foot and ice slowly started to spread across the floor and her skin started to crystalize. "Might as well make a statement."

[Klyix]

The room stilled as realisation dawned about who stood before them. Kat may not have known his face but it was clear that everyone else did and that was all she needed to know; that and his behaviour thus far was a good indicator. When Phoebe spoke up Magneto looked over to her, and Katherin besides. “I only needed an opportunity to address you all.. without interruption.” He said to them both, before more widely addressing the group. “This truce we signed all those years ago was a prison by another name, preventing us from helping the world reach a new era. A world run by the superior beings: us.”

He didn’t need to state his intention, it was clear, but so was the stubborn attitude of most in the room. Heroes through and through. And then there was a voice, Nicholas, though she hadn’t had the chance to really meet him yet. Kat eyed him up for a second before turning back to Magneto. “And I’m coming too.” Her words didn’t shake, and were as calm as if she was simply inviting herself on a road trip. She didn’t flinch from his gaze and smiled earnestly as she walked towards him. “Though clearly not everyone is as willing.” She murmured as she neared him, looking back to Katherin and the brewing confrontation.

“Well this is a shame.” Magneto said with mock sadness before turning to the men who had locked them in in the first place. “Take who you can, the stronger the better.” And then the chaos ensued.

[Eviledd1984]

Reinherdt stood up grabbing Nicholas by the arm meaning for him to come with him but the young boy step forward only to be held by another student that was one of Magneto's lackeys and was being cared away,"God damn it let me go...I SAID LET ME GO" He practically yelled at them shooting his long vines at them his skin turning a little green a effect form his new found powers.He looked around finding a chance moving closer to Magneto intending to speak to him knocking around a few like a rag doll but was again stopped by Reinherdt who stood in front of him.

"I will advise you too stop..,if you want to live i would advise you to stop..." He said with a scary looking smile on his face but Nicholas did not listen walking pasted him his skin becoming more green and his hair slightly turning red looking around for a moment before being knocked out by Reinherdt who kicked him hard in the head knocking the young scientist out.

[MarshiestMallow]

At once, Phoebe began to move. She quickly formed various sizes of the chlorofiends, and she began to move, forming vines around her, and flowers, deadly with their posions, and ready to use to defend herself and the others around her. "Looks like it's time to have some fun" she said, surprising herself by laughing. She was actually enjoying herself. She took a deep breath and calmed, "we need to get a door open and then try and hold them off to get as many students out as possible" she said to Katherin

Connor wasted no time, "never mind" he said to flood, his suit building over him, and he took to the air, shooting up, he looked about "Ignot? Any way out, or am I blasting a hole through a wall?"

"Well sir, all entrances appear to be-"

"Right. Got it. Hole time" he activated his phaser on his right hand, holding it up, he decided to aim for a door, figuring it was weaker. He let the attack go, looking about for his classmates, but refused to let himself get distracted, and he stayed on the air, "Ignot, find the enemy. Let's go for stun. I imagine the headmaster and other teachers would want to question them"

Kalinda knew that this would be a defining moment for her. Good, or bad? Bad or good? What would she do? Before she even knew what she was doing, she had stepped out the shadows. People brushed passed her, and her control started to waiver. She gritted her teeth, and pushed her way through, but it began to become over whelming. Without knowing what she was doing, she began searching for anyone's emotions outside the building, looking for familiar.

Looking for the only other student empath she knew, who she hadn't seen in the crowd. She had no idea where Devika was, but as soon as she latched onto the familiar sensation of Devika, she sent a powerful spark of alarm, hoping it would be enough, hoping it would lead to the teachers returning, hoping it would lead to freedom, as she pushed out with her telekenesis, and cleared those around her, panting heavily. She must have drawn attention to herself. Something Attacked her, and that was all she remembered

As soon as it was apparent that something was up, Connor shifted his backpack closer drawing the zipper open, but made no other move to get his suit out. He looked about them, all around the group of students, his eyes calculating as he tried to figure out a way out of here, a way of keeping the students alive and unhurt, a way of...well being a hero.He didn't have a way out yet, but he would. Eventually. As he continued to look about them, he tried to look meek, unthreatening and as if he wouldn't be trouble. Looks could be deceiving. His eyes landed on Flood, and he half smiled. He began to inch towards himz flood had a habit of having a lot on him, and generally varying equipment. He slung his backpack over one shoulder, and moved through the crowd, tapping flood on the shoulder. "Do you have anything that will blind them for a moment?"

"Of course I do." Flood said as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a flash bang. Then Connor blasted a hole in the wall. He looked towards Magneto and looked at his eyes for a second. Confidence just poured out of him. Even his personality was magnetic. "I will join." He called to Magneto as he walked forward.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin grabbed his chainsaw. The teachers weren't going to be happy with him but they needed as man exits out of the gym as possible. He jumped off the stage and ran for the wall. He started cutting into the wall. It wasnt going to be fast but it was working. Once the hole was over he started another one a few feet down. Over his shoulder he yelled. "This way out!"

Katherin took a calming breath. She might look like ice but she was anything to cool at the moment. Still this was the perfect oppurtunity for her to try something she had been working on. She started throwing ice ball like she was a minor league pitcher. She knocked people off her fellow classmates.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani had been in the backstage, getting some normal clothing on when things started to go strangely. She peeked out of the curtains, and realized that on stage was none other than Erik Lensherr. Magneto, in the flesh?

Her grandmother would be... intrigued.

Kijani had been drilled into the motives of various high ranking supers over her lifetime, and the leader of the Brotherhood was at the top of many lists. She found herself walking forward, her mind going at a fast clip. Even though she recognized the sound of Connor's beams, and knew he was helping rescue people, she knew without having to think about it. This was it. This was her proof. She wasn't useless, she wasn't nothing...

"I will join, sir." Her shoulders squared and she smiled, and there was the old ferocity in her eyes.

Devika was reading a book on the lawn, ten minutes out from the gym where the talent show was taking place. She was mid-paragraph, when she suddenly got hit by a powerful wave of emotion. Panic. Dread. Pure animal terror. Something was very wrong. It took her several precious seconds to fight it off and get up, rushing toward the gym as fast as she could.

[Eviledd1984]

On the way to the gym Reinhardt had transformed himself into one of the students helping Nicholas back to Magneto's HQ but if asked he would say he was taking them to the nurses office,Reinhardt limped a little form the weight of carrying Nicholas and pasted by Devika.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika wasn't running very fast, so she had plenty of time to see an unknown student carrying a passed out Nick on his back. She rushed to the men, looking worried. "Nick... I-is he okay?" She didn't recognize the guy carrying her friend, but that wasn't unusual. There were plenty of students at this school, so not knowing one face out of a hundred wasn't much cause for alarm. "What's going on?" The fear was gone from her voice, as she was too focused on keeping the heightened emotions coming from the gym out of her mind. She'd let them in if she could use them, but feared being overwhelmed.

[Eviledd1984]

"Magneto miss he's recruiting people willingly and forceable it's hell in there but if you want there are some supers trying to help beat up his goons...I gotta take him to the nurses office" Reinhardt said clamly taking his time but wanted to leave and escape quietly.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika nodded slowly. She was listening to the boy's words, but something was off. There was no fear in him, no urgency, not a hint of panic. Not determination, just... smooth as glass.

He was lying, somewhere in there. Her instincts knew it. Suddenly, she didn't want to leave Nick alone with this person. Why would he lie? What reason could there be for that?

Devika held her arms out, putting a subtle touch of power into her voice. She could tell lies to beat a politician, but she could also tell Truth. It was in the inflection, in the stance, in being so firm in your action that someone couldn't possibly think you were lying to them. "Let me take him. You look a lot more capable than me. I'm no good in a fight, and he's my friend, so..." Her gaze lingered on Nick's face for a brief, tender moment. Whether she was selling her story, or was just that worried was impossible to tell. "Please, I don't want him to wake up alone. He's new."

[Eviledd1984]

"I'm sorry but he must be taken to a professional medical personal right away" Reinhardt spoke in a soothing sort of voice his hand reaching into his pocket for a syringe when one of Magento's men came rushing at another though a wall in front of them,"Perfect" He said with a smile on his face while the heavy dis in the wall blocked her view as he started his escape down another hallway to the men's form mainly Nicholas dorm room.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe protected Katherin as she helped to keep the enemy from other students, watching her chlorofiends managed to attack, and to survive, her vines ready to defend her if need be. She was constantly looking about, wondering what had happened to the teachers, and wondering if her mother was alright, wondering what had drawn even her father from the school.

Was something seriously wrong out there?

She swallowed, and in a loud voice, she began to yell out "Head outside! Use your powers for pete sake, protect yourselves and those around you! Do not harm those students drawn in by Magneto. We have each other. We are not alone" Could she sound any more corny? She didn't think so.

---

Connor could see what was happening. Some students were drawn to Magneto, drawn to the aspect of him, to the fact that Magneto didn't follow the treaty. Looking for freedom the school didn't offer, not yet, not until graduation. He sighed softly to himself. This would be a defining moment for many, he knew. Good, or bad. Hero or Villain. Which lead to the question, which was he? He couldn't be bad, but...could he be good, could he be a hero? Was there a neutral position? Why was he wondering about this now?

What would his father do? "At some point" He berated himself, "You have to stop thinking like that. And it looks like this is the point" He looked down, searching for his classmates, but also looking to make sure no one else was being attacked, no one was being injured badly, trying to protect as many as he could, but he was only one person. He didn't now what was going on, fully, and he wished he had coms.

[Klyix]

It was true. Though his men were clearly more skilled the pure number of students made the task much harder than first planned. He trusted they had managed to collect some students along with the ones who volunteered themselves; this was not a failure, only a beginning.

“We don’t have any more time. Finish this quickly and head back to the ship.” He called out to his men. “You three, follow me.” He then turned heel and began to walk away from the cacophony and out onto a medium sized jet.

[Flood]

Flood followed Magneto to the jet as he smiled lightly. "Maybe now I may have purpose."

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani followed quietly, feeling who she was, who she should be coming back to the fore. Between her dance and Magneto showing up, she could feel who she really was taking hold again. She strode away from the chaos, feeling stronger with every step. Who could be offered such an opportunity and turn it down? That would be foolish, and Kijani was no fool.

"It's a true honor to meet someone of your caliber, sir." She spoke firmly, but there was definite respect there. Even if she didn't fully believe that mutants were any less awful than humanity, the truth was that she wanted to be on the winning side.
