[IC] Xmen: Mutant Registration is Avenged

[Silver Carrot]

"The ball's in the human's court, and they're not letting go of it. We either take the ball by force which will very likely pop the ball, or we go into their side, which still doesn't guarantee them giving us the ball at all. We want change, but at the same time we're fighting change. The real question is 'what do we all do now?' to answer that we first have to answer 'what *do* we all want?'"

[Nicias Askani]

Digit typed "I assure you I don't mean to sound condescending. But that's your job. You talk like your still one of us despite your position, and I want to believe that deep down you are. what everyone needs to ask themselves is "what do I want." and that includes you and I"

[Silver Carrot]

Heidi thinks for a while, and then looks up. "I want schools. More schools. Bigger schools. I want more people like Jean and less people like Big Brother. I want no more supervillians."

[Nicias Askani]

digit typed "there used to be other schools. there should be more schools. however there arent many people like jean. But what would these schools do?"

[Zerofighter]

Jean said "I remember hearing a story of when the MRA was first brought up. A man named James Walker came out as a mutant and supported the act. He was a respected man and donated his money to charities but after he came out he was attacked. He used his telepathic powers to knock the men out. He served more time for fighting back. Your trying to serve justice but that's not it." Jean then said "I will fight this act till the day I die. I will offer my school as a sanctuary for fugitive mutants. You can send The avengers and mr . Stark after us. Now I ask you to leave my school ."
David was surprised he never seen Jean do serious.

[Silver Carrot]

Heidi's face went blank. She stood up, and slowly started walking towards the exit. She didn't even belong here. When everyone around you disagrees with you, maybe it's you that is wrong...

No, The registration act is a thousand times better than any other method that could possibly be used to bring equality and fairness to Mutant-kind, especially foolishly going against the law like her old friend was doing. Heidi had faith that Jean was better than stooping to crime. That faith had been betrayed.

What a fool.

[Nicias Askani]

"that was a little bit harsh" Digit telepathically spoke to Jean. "we could have used her"

[Zerofighter]

Jean sighed and thought back 'I know but she needs to learn this MRA isn't justice. '

David said "Jean are you ok?"
"Just fine.."

[Nicias Askani]

'i think she was figuring that out. but what ever. come by my room later....both of you' with that she left the two of them and went back to her room

Ira had made it to the main office of the building and was looking through old files. very old files, trying to find out more about Cable. so far nothing was coming up

[Silver Carrot]

The taxi pulls up at SHIELD. Heidi gets out and enters the building, in a noticeably bad mood. She's muttering to herself. "Assignments. I need assignments. No mutants. No morally grey areas. Assignments..." She stops at the front desk.

"Has Anthony Stark returned?"

She needed cheering up, and he was the only one she really talked to nowadays. She thought her old friends would at least treat her like a friend, but they've changed. They attacked Tony and simply told her to leave, as if *she* was the one who somehow betrayed *them*! God dammit...Where the hell was Anthony?!

[Zerofighter]

Anthony arrived on the hellcarrier. He had a burger king bag. He walked around the base sipping his drink. He saw Heidi and said "You look pissed..something happen when I left?"
Jean nods at Skyler and walked to her room to think. She felt something in her. No.. she had to suppress it. Her father taught her how. He told her once about a dark side he had and how it once came out. He said its a possibility she may have one. She sat down and meditated trying to use the training her dad taught her
David waved by to Skyer but was worried about Jean. He began looking for Ira.

[Silver Carrot]

Heidi walked right up to Anthony, and sighed. "Yes, I was asked to leave. That and the whole school might try to break the law in order to fight the MRA. We must be cautious. Keep an eye on them." Her professionalism dropped and she leaned against Anthony's shoulder. "I am very short on friends right now," she whispered. "I want to cry but I can't let anyone see me because I'm an Avenger. We're supposed to be strong..."

[Nicias Askani]

Ira was coming up with little on this mysterious, yet sexy, man. He was an enigma wrapped in a riddle. all she found was that he lead an X team called X force but there was no information on its activities. just a budget invoice dated 20 years ago. the Profile on the database was equally vague. he was a Summers and aparently a powerful telepath and telekentic. for some reason she thinks her mother mentioned him when she was younger. but she wasnt sure

[Zerofighter]

David thought to Ira. 'something is up with Jean...she looked like she was in pain or something."
Jean cursed as she kept holding in her Darkside. She did have one and she was trying to hold it in. Her head hurt but she held it in. She sighed and relaxed a bit.

Anthony said "I'm sorry....and I will let SHIELD know to keep a eye on them. But do you think they will like that?"

[Silver Carrot]

"I don't really care anymore. It has to be done."

She starts to walk into SHIELD itself.

"I could go for a drink right about now, but work needs to be done. There must be somewhere that just straight up needs a hero, so we can go there, save the day and I can feel like a good person again."

[Nicias Askani]

Ira didnt hear David. she doesnt actively listen to his thoughts.

Digit, was mulling things over. Jeans....reaction to Heidi didnt sit well with her. David was the one that was confrontational, esspeically about mutant rights. she went over the conversations in her head. she recalled it with clarity. Heidi was coming over to her side. she was almost doubting her stand but then jean dismissed her. while she thought about it she sifted through her old gizmos for David and Jeans "gifts" she found Davids easily. Jeans took more time

[Zerofighter]

Anthony nods at her and said "Alright, lets go do some hero work." He followed her into the SHIELD base.

David went to Digit. He knocked on her door. "Skyler? its me..can we talk. Its about Jean." he was worried about her and hopes she was ok.
Jean laid down and thought "I have it under control for now. I just have to be careful. Dad said his darkside was powerful and even overpowered David's dad. She knew hers might be just as bad."

[Casterlyrock]

A smile crossed her face "first you quote back to yhe future now star wars, you keep this up and i might have to hack a transfer to tech so i can keep you close" she laughed lightly to herseld then Zandrea ate what was put in front of her she seen the waitresses face and gave her a dirty look as she left thinking it was seeing magnus and how he looked or seeing a human with a mutant "what happened when you need to pick a clear side....I am human and have no family on a side and I don't know what I will do, my brain says stay with shield but my gut tells me to help mutant kind" she reached across the table her hand now on top of his "I don't want to do anything dumb and risk getting anyone I work with getting hurt"

Ramsey:
A few of the display screens around Xavier's school started to flicker the images on the screen forced out by the face of "big brother" who looked around on the screen as if he was looking outside from inside the screens, his teal hair hung in front of his blank never ending smile mask "my what a fantastic school" his voice was being broadcasted though the school while his face was on any screen attached to a network.

[Zerofighter]

Jean stood and saw him on her laptop screen. What is he up to? she thought

David waited for Skyler to answer but took out his phone seeing the feed Big Brother was sending. David said "Maybe.." He began altering the magnetic field in the school in hope to mess with the internet connection in the school and hopefully cancel out this guy's feed. He felt the magnetic field slowly change around him. He knew some will notice the magnetic field change.

[Casterlyrock]

Ramsey:
"Put away powers my magnetic friend, I come with a the branch of peace" he was in the screen looking out though the glass of Davids phone "I only wish to speak to you, your lovely sister and the rest of our kind with you, now that I seen those government hounds are gone"
