[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[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.

Devika startled when the wall in front of her all but exploded. Two fighters passed between her and the man carrying Nick, and it was several crucial seconds before she could resume the chase. They were gone by the time she got the debris and grit of the wall from her face. Slowing her run, she shut out everything but the feelings. Fear, fear, hope... triumph! There. That sense of smug satisfaction- the man thought he had won. Well, he obviously didn't know jack about the Joneses. Her mother and father were both infamous for their tenacity in the courtroom, and Devika had absorbed that value. She wouldn't quit trying, not with someone else's health on the line.

She followed the man's emotion all the way toward the male dorms. The hallway started to look a bit familiar, and she realized she was nearing Nick's room. Slowly, she started to fill her mind with fear. Her palms started to sweat and her heart started to hammer. She held it just in place, ready to release in a bomb of incapacitating fear.

[Eviledd1984]

Reinhardt was already met with a one of Magneto's students a man named El Bane who made a neat whole for them and since they were on the first floor he along with Nicholas can make their escape,"I would be weary a women is coming as she is not happy I have her boyfriend here" He said as El Bane nodded preparing himself for worst but he would be easy for Devika and a distraction for Reinhardt to escape.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda took the blow, but caught the mans wrist before another could be given. "If you had bothered to ask, you would have found out that I am happy to go with you" she snapped out, hoping she sounded irritated rather then anything else. She didn't see the school beating these forces, not without the students and not without loses. It appeared that some students had already succumbed to Magneto. Kalinda would just have to be trustworthy, and get close to Magneto herself.

---

Phoebe didn't know what to do, so she formed several people sized Chlorofiends, and had then help direct students out the building, while protecting them. She swallowed, her fear catching up with her. Where were the teachers? Was this a test, a simulation? But...how could that be? No. It was real.

"Continue moving!" She called, "come on, we all now the protocols!" Where was magneto? Could they take him down? Was that possible for them? For her? She scanned the crowd, searching.

[Klyix]

Kat didn’t rush to try and gain favour nor fall to his feet with praise, however anyone of them would have been able to see a change if they looked. In place of the cocksure arrogance and playful smirk she usually wore there was instead a dignified grace with every step and a transcendent gaze fixed forward, far away from the dying fight. In the dress she looked almost regal and far more Eldkatla than Kat.

Magneto led them onto the jet as the rest of his men finished up the fight, getting themselves and those they beat back to the jet. “And I am honoured you would join us. Clearly you are wiser than most of your peers.” He said as he directed them into a well-furnished, though not very large, room with soft chairs in an arc. He sat in a chair separated from the rest and motioned for them to sit as well. “I suppose an official introduction is in order. I am Erik, though I’m sure you’ll have heard of me. However I know nothing of any of you, so please, tell me.” He said, with a sweeping hand movement about the group who sat before him.

[Flood]

Flood sat in a seat as he admired Erik. "I am Ryan. Everyone just calls me Flood though, sir." He introduced himself to Magneto.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani took a seat as well, poised and confident. To think she'd ever considered the fact that she was not worthy! How silly. "My name is Kijani, sir." She would leave it at that. Flood hadn't given him more than a name, so she would keep her own connections and abilities a secret for the time being. Best not to give too much for free.

--

Devika took a look up as a very large man stepped in front of her. He looked like a cautionary tale against steroid, to be honest. Muscles to the point that it was slightly disgusting. "Tch. I bet you can take a punch... but can you handle true pain?" She rushed him, knowing he'd probably just defend physically. Stripping her glove while running, she clamped her hand down on the man's massive forearm and held on tight. Then she released the fear- all of it. It felt like water leaving her, honestly, the cold and clamminess moving from her as if she were vomiting. "I hope you never sleep with the lights off again!" She had to get to Nick. Had to.

[Eviledd1984]

"Ah...you...Puta..." El Bane felt his body convulsing with pain in his arm and stomach,His other arm rised above his head trying to smack her away but failed as the massive looking man fell over from her powers.Meanwhile Reinhardt along with Nicholas in tow was getting closer to to the jet and could see it still open for him so he could get closer to his master.Nicholas was coming too his eyes slowly opening then fluttering more like he was having a seizure,"Where..am i?" He whispered but to deaf ear as Reinhardt was nearing the jet.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda had stayed in the shadows, following the others. She slipped into the jet, and slowly emerged from the shadows. It had seemed an easier way then getting attacked every few feet. She looked about, studying the others. Well, Flood was more then a bit crazy, but she suspected he had his own agenda, like he always did. She hadn't had much interaction with Kijani, if any, but she always seemed so....breakable, especially lately. Not that she didn't seem to have an inner strength, that she didn't know about. It was more....well, Kalinda could imagine psychological pain quite easily, and she was more then sure that something in that girls past was bad. Kalinda understood that. Most of what she understood about people came from conclusions based on their emotions.

She sighed, and said "I'm Kalinda. Kalinda Roth" she said, having no qualms about giving out her last name. Why, when magneto could find out easily? "My powers are numerous. My spirit and my will is strong. And I am not afraid of you" her voice was curiously void of emotion, and she stared straight at Magneto without any hint of fear, any hint of any emotion, her eyes dark and cold.

---

As the figjting seemed to die down, Phoebe let out a sigh of relief. "We need to see about care for the injured." She said to Katherin, "and we need to find out what happened to the teachers. I..." she looke about, biting her lip "for now, let's deal with any wounded."

"Nick, Nick hang o- Aaagh!" Devika dropped the knocked out muscle-man, and moved forward. Before she could get far, pain shot through her head like a bolt of lightning. "Aa-aah!" She'd used too much power, too quickly. It felt like her head would explode from the inside. Everything went white, and then she collapsed in a semi conscious heap. She was awake, but she couldn't move. "N... nggh... Goddammit..." She tried to lift her head, but only managed to look as the strange man escaped with her friend.

[Eviledd1984]

Reinhardt looked behind him to see Devika behind them,"So close yet so far little mädchen" The young man whispered heading into the jet finally,"I have come master...and with some very interesting why don't you introduce yourself..." Reinhardt said mockingly moving the now waking Nicholas up on his feet."I am...Nicholas...Crane" The young scientist said calmly finding his footing rubbing his eyes.From what he could see was a old looking man and he know who it was that in itself angered him,He turned his head back because he had sworn he had heard Devika call out his name.

[Klyix]

Kat took her seat, sitting tall with ankles crossed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she listened. She was quiet as the others said their piece, giving a cursory glance about the room. "There is no reason for fear, you have chosen our fight, the right fight." He said to who she presumed was Kalinda, given her rather hostile response. Her attention was grabbed when someone else entered the room, carrying Nicholas. "Hello, would you care to sit with us? If not Reinhardt could show you to somewhere more suitable." Magneto said, not unkindly, before looking at Kat. "And you?"

Upon being addressed she gave a serpentine smile. "And I, I'm not a.. a mutant like you, more of an alien I suppose. My name is Eldkatla, daughter of Loki." Her second name said as much anyway, no reason to dance around the fact.

He smiled pleasantly as he addressed the group. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Though of course this is a cause I believe strongly in, so you'll have to forgive me for prying but I wish to know what you can offer us; your numerous powers."

"If i may ask a question of why you abducted the students here?world conquest perhaps what do you have planned?" Nicholas spoke after Eldkatla to Magneto rubbing his head and giving a death stare rubbing the side of his head form where Reinhardt hit him in the head.The young scientist wondered why the old man would bring him along probably for his fear gas.

Reinhardt smiled to his master placing Nicholas beside Eldkatla and turned to face Eldkatla with a soft smile on his face,"A pleasure to meet you miss i hope we can have fun together" He said the thought of meeting Loki once was quite titillating and got him so very excited which rarely happens.

[Flood]

"I am the son of Deadpool. As such, I have advanced regeneration and training in a variety of weapons. I am also a ex S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENT. I have some useful information because of which, not much though." Flood explained to Magneto.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani smiled, polite and poised. "My name is Kijani. I have a multitude of skills as I hope you will discover, but the only thing that makes me truly superhuman is that I can control and adjust the density of paper." Her smile widened, and something eerie entered her eyes. "As they have yet to create a detector that senses paper, I could get a weapon of my choosing, literally anywhere, without anyone being the wiser."

[MarshiestMallow]

Revulsion and horror wizzed through Kalinda, as flood said he had information on S.H.I.E.L.D. He would give that away? Surely not. She kept her face passive, and said "I have already said I am the daughter of Raven. Shadows are my speciality, amoung other things" she said in her emotion voided tone. She would not give everything about herself away. Not just yet.

Connor didn't remove his suit when it seemed everything has died down. Instead, he just removed his mask. He tried using Ignor to contact his father, but there was no answer. Whatever has happened, his father was busy. He could even be with the teachers. Connor surveyed the damage, and wondered, briefly, if he would get in trouble for the massive hole in the wall. He looked over at it, studying it for a moment to make sure it wasn't going to collapse, and then surveyed the rest of the damage. Once making sure everything was okay, and there weren't too many seriously injured students, he began to round up any of magnetos men that they had stopped. Then and only then did he remove his suit, but activated its autopilot mode, instructing Ignot to watch the prisoners, as he began to look for his friends and classmates, trying to see if any were injuried or missing.

He found himself leaning against a wall when he was done, a mixture of emotions flooding through him. He had always known something like this might happen one day. He just felt like he should know what to do, where he belonged. Did he always need someone to tell him what to do, to have that sense of belonging?

Kijani wasn't just someone though. Had everything she had gone through made the path for this choice? He didn't know, but suspected yes. Undervalued and mistreated for a lot of her life, Connor could see how Magneto might be an interesting choice. Maybe his opinion of her wasn't enough. His hands curled into fists, and he cursed her parents, her grandmother and anyone else that had made her feel worthless.

What was he meant to do?

Phoebe vainly looked for Nicholas without much hope, she found a little bit of time to send a message to her mother, knowing the plants would get it to her, and then headed to her room. She had been working on a costum the few months at the academy, and had refined it with her Mother. She figured if she was going to help fight magneto, then she needed to look the part of a hero.

Hero. Had she finally decided then, to be a hero?

It didn't matter know. She changed into it, pleased at the fit. It was a green leotard, and brown mask. Logjt green and dark mingled together, and she wove vines over her body, slipping in some Devils snare as well. For the first time, she actually felt like she for her alias. Had she learned enough to do well? She was competent in her fighting, yes. Was she ready?

Maybe. But something had driven the teachers away, and Magneto had sort to harm the academy, and sort to harm humans and the world. She couldn't sit by and watch that. If she got in trouble, whether from her own lack of experience, or from either of her parents, she would live with the consequences. Not wanting to be seen leaving, but wanting to make sure neither Katherin nor ryan would worry, she sent then both texts, saying she was going to look for her mother, to tell her about Nicholas. It was half the truth anyway.

[Klyix]

Magneto answered Nicholas’s question before anyone had the chance to answer his. “This is not a conquest, I do not aspire to rule. Consider it more of a revolution, how once those who had been wrongfully oppressed were then freed, I will raise us to our rightful standing.”

Ignoring Magneto, Kat turned to look at Reinhardt. Hearing what he had to say she flashed a mischievous smile and said “Well I never waste my time on anything dull.” The timing made it clear that it wasn’t her he was truly interested but she saw no reason not to humour him. She faintly listened as the others spoke until there was no-one but her left. “My father has been teaching me for as long as I can remember; I’m sure you’ve seen at least some of his work. That and metals not seen in this realm for a millennia.”

“What a breadth of talents, I cannot wai-“ He began only to be interrupted by a small but persistent ringing. Pulling a device from his pocket he sighed and silenced it, before slipping it back away. “Unfortunately however, I must wait as I am needed elsewhere. Reinhardt, please take care of our guests in my absence.” And with that he stood and left the room, leaving them alone together.

[Avanhelsing]

Ryan had no earthly clue what was going on right now. Only thing he did know was that something was wrong. A few days earlier a package came from his father. It was the one thing he did not want to see. It was his own flash ring. That meant things were bad. He looked at the ring for a minute unroll he felt his phone buzz. It was a message from Phoebe. That she was going to see her mother. There was no way he was going to be fine. He activated the ring like his father had shown him and sped into it

It looked like the usual Flash suit but the colors were darker. The red was closer to crimson than the usual red. The usual yellow was the same color. He got a pair of goggles instead of the hood so his hair was showing. Pleased with the look he ran off, much faster cause of the suit. It took him a minute or two till he found her.

"I like outfit. " He said skidding to a stop next to her. He looked worried. "Phoebe you can't go alone to see your mother. What if Magneto catches you? I'm going with you. " He said with certainty. He did not look like he was going to take no. "Gotta keep together in all this. "

---

Jack quickly changed into his suit, boots , and gloves. The steel metal made him feel
Better. He felt like he was ready. He had no idea if he was right at all. He swung over the academy looking for someone to talk about this with.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe was not at all surprised that Ryan found her. She was surprised at his outfit, then winced. It was just another way his father seemed to pressure ryan into being what he wanted him to be. Phoebe knew that ryan didn't like that, and yet he still did it. Eventually, Phoebe knew he would find a balance with his father.

She looked down at herself then sheughed "just because we haven't graduated yet doesn't me I need to give myself away, and risk being known who I al and what I can do by the whole world. So...I thought it was time to play Devils snare" she said, looking up, with a slight smile.

The smile faded. "My mother won't hurt me. And magneto has my brother" she might not particularly like Nicholas, but she was still her blood. "I'm not worried about magneto. I'm worried about my mothers reaction to you. Last time wAsnt so pleasant" she pointed out, "but let's go. If she got my message, if she isn't caught up in whatever is going on, then she will meet up with us."

---

Kalinda sighed silently as Magneto left. Did he know she wasn't entirely here to work with him? She kept her face blank and managed to control her emotions. She looked around at the others, studying them.

[Eviledd1984]

"Ah then we will be working together nicely like how they say peanut butter and jelly...excuse me i have sheep to help flock" Reinhardt smiled to her wanting to one day be partnered with her she was very interesting but their was one person he was dying to be partnered with,He stood up form the seat and stood in front of the group keeping the smile on his face,"Come come my children i shall tell you what will happen....firstly you will be given a partner one partner or in some causes you will be in a group....you will answer to either Master Magneto or myself...and finally if you are fighting with another one of the group then you will be harshly punished" Reinhardt said clamly with a smile on his face.

Nicholas was watching Reinhardt intently keeping his own emotions in check seeing what he would do next.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani resisted the urge to yawn. She wasn't interested in dealing with Magneto's peons. Especially ones who tried to be intimidating, but merely wound up sounding like they needed caffeine. "Please, get on to things we didn't learn in grade school. I think we all understand the point of working in a group. If anyone here is expecting to be praised for being a turncoat, then they should probably pick a window to leap out of now and save everyone else the trouble." She started winding a dreadlock around her finger, looking incredibly bored.

"How about you... whoever you are... tell us what we will be doing?"
