yeah I figured it was about time that Wolverine kind of...took over before they all started to fight one another ;) Also, Blackthorn, thanks for the info. I seemed to have spaced that fact :) I promise I'm good with this era XD

Welcome. I'm a third-year history major and a reenactor, so feel free to ask me things about the era. I'm kind of a research junkie, so even if I don't know something, I know a few good street corners on the internet where you can pick it up.

Also, you describe Yukiko as looking up at Wolverine, when he's actually only 5'2". He more than makes up for his lack of stature in his ferocity, of course, but I've always found it funny that, excluding Xavier in the wheelchair, Wolverine is the shortest X-man.

As Allan approached the bay, he noticed smoke rising from it, and sensed that something was probably very wrong. He whistled, and Lysander let out a roar that scared open a path through the crowd, and Allan crouched, preparing to make use of his enhanced legs. Lysander lowered himself to all fours, and the two were off like Olympic sprinters, moving faster than any normal Humas had any right to. When they arrived at the scene, Allan drew his massive sword, letting it fall with enough force to crack the concrete when it touched the ground. Noticing a TAC officer standing off against a gang of outlaws, he was relieved when a Ranath showed up, firing at two of the outlaws and setting them on fire. The officer was holding his own for now, protected by some sort of magical barrier and taking shots at the outlaws advancing on him. He gripped it with two hands, and crouched again, determining where he could help the most. Settling on a course of action, he dashed forward, slamming his 35-pound sword into one of the outlaws, overwhelming his magical protection and sending him flying backwards.

Lysander smashed into one of the others, swiping at him with massive paws, bashing against the magical barrier until it yielded, and downing the second outlaw. The Ranath seemed to have the other three outlaws under control, though Allan was worried about the power suit's ammunition cooking off in such close proximity to the Ranath's fire bullets. The Ranath addressed the man as "Dmitry Kovalev," a name spoken of in very high regard among the Coalition. Allan immediately snapped up his sword and extended it in a military salute, arms out, blade perpendicular to the ground, feet slightly apart and boxed, and back ramrod straight. "Sir! It is my honor to defend you. TAC Officer Allan Phaedrus, reporting for duty."

In college.

Ah. Studying anything interesting? I'm in a teacher prep program, which is all kinds of fun.

@YoshiSkittlez: You said in Yukiko's post that Wolverine's hairstyle seems out of place, but actually, the "ducktail" hairstyle was quite popular in the 40s. So this is really the one time when his hair doesn't look weird. Though since he's much older than he looks, perhaps he set the trend in the first place?

When she didn't answer right away, Atticus looked over at her, noticing how her blond curls seemed to frame the profile of her face like satin curtains, and saw that she seemed to be lost in thought, her blue eyes almost misted over. Perhaps she had been here before and this place was bringing back memories? Or maybe she didn't know where she was at all and had gotten lost. He realized that he had assumed she was here for the same reason he was, and so had spoken without thinking or considering the situation. Next time he would have to be more cautious, though he suspected he had little to fear from this girl. Eventually she seemed to snap out of her hazy-eyed trance, and she turned towards him with a start.

Atticus stood there sheepishly as she flailed for the right words, regret on his features, for he had not intended to startle her. Dammit, Atticus, don't blow this. You're gonna scare her away. Now that she had her full attention on him and he could see her face properly, he noticed that she was very pretty, and he found himself hoping there would be more like her. She was totally not what he envisioned when he pictured what other mutants must be like, if in fact she was here for the same reason he was. He mentally shook himself, and the regret was replaced by an expression of faint amusement as he watched her flounder, and a grin broke out on his face as he raised an eyebrow at her sarcastic question.

"Excuse? I was invited to come here. You mean to tell me you weren't? That hardly seems likely." His eyes were fully on her, scrutinizing her and watching for a telling reaction or change in her body language to suggest she was hiding something. It was then that he noticed the hand in her pocket, clutching something tightly. A weapon, perhaps? He cursed himself for not noticing it sooner as his muscles tightened instinctively, and he almost lowered into a fighting stance, but stopped himself and straightened. If she meant him harm, he'd have been completely taken by surprise. But he hadn't been, and that counted for something. Reading people was something he'd been good at for many years now. However, he was usually careful to keep what he noticed to himself, since it tended to put others ill at ease. Which was something he was even more certain of happening if he had escalated the situation by preparing for a fight. He told himself he needed to stop being so twitchy and paranoid and learn to trust people as he awaited her reply, fully expecting her to flounder again as he realized the accusatory tone he had taken with his question, or perhaps become defensive. He braced himself for the latter.

Well what degree of schooling are you taking? What classes?I think things like college level biology class are bit... more in regards of requiring my attention.

When you say college level, do you mean advanced placement? Or are you actually in college? I'm in my third year of college, and I can totally sympathize with difficult classes.

I've been gone all day, but read through some of the OOC. Do I need to edit my post again as well? I'm at the "institute", but I didn't glamorize it by any means. Just don't want to offend anyone if I'm not going about this correctly.**Also will get to work on interaction post with Atticus, Blackthorn!***Also also... Thank you, Ruby. Just saw your post in the OOC.

I love it. Ali's all flustered cause of Atticus's ninja skills. And Atticus's social skills are nonexistent. Awkward conversation go!

Actually it's fine, I'll just have my character get an apartment closer to the Institute if need be. I'm just gonna roll with it and see what happens.

It was in the OOC OP...Or at least it was supposed to be... Huh.And yeah. That he doesn't own the institute is inaccurate, but it's not where the base is.

In that case I suppose I should edit my post, then. Unless Xavier's offering my character a place to stay to lay low and stay hidden from the crime lords who are going to undoubtedly notice when he stops reporting for work...
