These events can be very personal...i.e. a relationship beginning, ending or changing, or they can be moral or spiritual. Whatever is decided, they should show 'growth' for your character.New BeginningsThis can be any number of items as well and most likely will relate back to the 'crossroads' in your character(s)' life or lives and/or career. They may be starting a new career as teacher or student at Xavier's School for the Gifted or may have been selected to train for the upcoming X-Men team(s).

Who: Mason With: Cecilia Reyes, NPC Reporters, Warren When: Saturday May 14, 2006: Late Morning/Early Afternoon Where: Outside the Mansion, Front Gates "I just hope that every day is not like this, it would be too much to handle," Cecilia said to the young man.
Mason nodded vigorous agreement, waiting until they were back inside the gates and out of earshot of the reporters to continue.
"I've seen you around a few times," the young man said, extending his hand. "But I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm Mason Fireheart, but please just call me Mason."
Through sheer will, he managed not to stare at the spot on the grass where he knew the fascinating ship was hidden. Tags: Cecilia, anybody nearby

Re: In the Mansion (Please timestamp your posts)Who: Gabriel With: Karika, Mez, Anyone Where: Kitchen
Gabriel jumped just a tiny bit as Karika yelled "BOO!" He cocked his head to the side with a questioning look on his face, similar to the way a dog would do it. "Umm....ahh!?" Gabriel made the sound of fear in an attempt to appease Karika, figuring she had been trying to scare him. Man this chic was wierd, in a cute way, but weird none-the-less.
Gabriel then turned to the individual who had been sleeping until a couple seconds ago. "Hi Mez." Gabriel shifted the clothes in his arms around until his right hand was free. He then held it out to Mez and smiled. "Name's Gabriel. Gabriel Summers."
Gabriel waited 'til Mez shook his hand, then set Karika's clothes down on the counter. "Thanks for letting me borrow these Karika," Gabriel smiled at Karika. Hopefully this girl would be open to being his friend, at the least.

With: Gabriel, Logan, Mez, Ben, Open
Where: Kitchen
When: Afternoon
Karika smelled him before he even arrived. That smell of self-assured male...blech. She hated it, and she couldn't say much more for it's owner. Oh, it wasn't that Mez smelled bad...but if you thought elephants never forgot, you ought to see how long a kitten can hold a grudge. As soon as he entered the kitchen, she crouched low, growling deep in her throat, her hair standing nearly on end. "Wassup" If Karika thought those yellow swim trunks were ready for Vogue...she obviously was not up on current fashion (or slang).
But she nonetheless answered his question by hopping off the counter and taking the clothes Gabriel returned before Mez could take her high-fashion clothes. "Afternoon man, Name's 'Mez' it means 'to remember' so please do. I guess you already met Karika." "Yes, stupid." She answered matter of factly. Of course she remembered his name. That didn't mean he had earned her respect enough for her to use it.
Gabriel had at least put effort into trying to gain her trust. "Umm....ahh!?" Pitiful, she would concede, but better than him finding out just how heavy adamantium was. Karika was a very petite girl, not quite brushing 5 feet and weighing less that a hundered pounds...without adamantium. With the adamantium skeleton she weighed well over 175 pounds. "Thanks for letting me borrow these Karika." Holding the clothes close to her chest she nodded. "Mine."

Re: In the Mansion (Please timestamp your posts)Who: Mezeker With: Karika, Gabe Where: Kitchen "Hi Mez." Gabriel shifted the clothes in his arms around until his right hand was free. He then held it out to Mez and smiled. "Name's Gabriel. Gabriel Summers."
Mez shook Gabriel's hand, thankful that he was able to start his day off right, at least for the most part.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, she crouched low, growling deep in her throat, her hair standing nearly on end. "Wassup" If Karika thought those yellow swim trunks were ready for Vogue...she obviously was not up on current fashion (or slang).
Mez got a little more attentive at the growling from Karika. "Oh quit growling, if you want to eat these swim trunks just ask," Mez said to her, so hungry himself he might actually beat her to it.
"Yes, stupid." She answered matter of factly. Of course she remembered his name. That didn't mean he had earned her respect enough for her to use it.
Mez was too tired to go into an argument or even worse a fight that might lead to dismemberment or an express ticket to the grave. Mez turned into a 9-year-old and stuck his tongue out mockingly at Karika. "Good morning to you too," he said to Karika, going back to eating his breakfast.

"I've seen you around a few times, but I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm Mason Fireheart, but please just call me Mason."
"Nice to meet you Mason," Cecilia said, shaking his hand polietely, "I am Dr. Cecilia Reyes, former trauma surgeon," she said, a slight twinge of remorse in her voice. She had just finished her internship and had become a resident. That's when her power had made things dicey for her in the hospital. She had only just begun to understand the true beauty and complexity of trauma surgery, true it wasn't as specific as neurosurgery, but it was enough to keep her fascinated. She had continued to read medical logs and texts books, but it had been awhile since she had put anyone under her knife.
Cecilia noticed the direction of Mason's subtle gaze and moved further away from the reporters. It would be harder to see her now and she hoped Mason would follow. She was curious as to what had gotten the boy so interested in the opposite direction. She would ask him about it when she was certain that the reporters could niether see nor hear them.

Gabriel watched, with some fascination, as Mez and Karika duked it out, so to speak. He chuckled a little bit and sat down in the nearest chair. "Wow, can't you just feel the love?" Sarcasm was something that came more easily to Gabriel than it did to most. He hated that fact, it was sometimes rude, and he hated being rude.
"So," Gabriel wanted to rush off to meet his brother, but had no clue where he would be, "What's there to do around here?" That was when he realized Karika had asked him to play hide and seek, and he had ignored it. Stupid. "Oh man, I'm sorry Karika, I ignored you. It won't happen again." He smiled at her and held out his hand. "So how about that game of hide and seek? It'll pass the time till I can meet Scott."
Man, that thought even made his nervous. Get a grip dude. You can do this. "Where do you wanna play at?"
Summary: Gabriel gets ready to play hide and seek, though something tells me it's gonna be unfair with karika's mutation. Oh well, guess this would be as good a time as any to dabble with Gabriel's powers a bit. Hehehehe

Oh Mez...she did so enjoy baiting him. But, while she could dish it out, she did not want to take it. Guess it was all part of being feral... "Oh quit growling, if you want to eat these swim trunks just ask," "Mine!" She snapped, "Wear! Not Eat!" Didn't he get it? They were her clothes. Who ate clothes? Did normal people eat clothes? Now she was confused...looking down at the yellow beauties in her hand, she shook her head. No, she wasn't going to eat them.
Ignoring his tongue darting out at her, she just sneered at him. "Good morning to you too," "Noon, stupid!" Yes, indeed it was after noon. Who the heck slept until noon? Didn't everyone get up at 5:12 am when the sun came up? Sleeping until noon! HA! "Wow, can't you just feel the love?" Raising an eyebrow at Gabriel, she folded her arms. "No love Mez. Mez, stupid." Didn't he get it? Apparantly not.
"So,""What's there to do around here?" Karika had opened her mouth to spew a bunch of things that she an Jonathon did together when Gabriel spoke again. "Oh man, I'm sorry Karika, I ignored you. It won't happen again.""So how about that game of hide and seek? It'll pass the time till I can meet Scott." Hide and seek! Yay! Little did he know, the Weapon X game of hide and seek involved guns, heat seeking missiles and occasionally police dogs.
Turning to him, her innocent eyes met his. "Have gun?" She asked, they needed at least that. Looking over at Mez, she bared her tiny fangs at him. "Play too, stupid?"

Mason cocked his head at the undertone of sadness in her words, but waited until they were safely within the gates once more before replying.
"Former?" he said, giving the word only the slightest questioning lift at the end, letting her choose to answer it or not, since the subject appeared to cause her pain. Then another thought occured to him and he added, "This might seem an odd question and I apologize if it distresses you ... " He paused, reaching up to flick an errant lock of hair back over his shoulder. "Are you familiar with limb reattachment techniques?"

"Former?"
"Long story," Cecilia explained briefly. She did not feel like going into the details of what had happened with this total stranger. He seemed like a nice enough person, but what had happened to her was her buisness. She saw no reason to get anyone else involved. She had to explain some of what had happened to Charles, but she was reluctant to do so so to any one else.
"This might seem an odd question and I apologize if it distresses you ...Are you familiar with limb reattachment techniques?"
"That does not distress me," Cecilia said, relieved to be away from the subject of her personal life, "I can't I've personally ever performed a limb reattachment. I've seen it done, normally the wound has to be quite fresh and the severing blow has to be clean. That would make the procedure easier. I have performed amputations," Cecilia explained. She had performed several necessary amputations during her time at the hospital. She had never been called in for a reattachment though. Cecilia had witnessed some reattachments from the observation room and had read theory on it, but had never actually performed one herself. It was a procedure that she had been looking forward to performing to.

Summary: Cecilia gets defensive about her past, but then warms up at the opportunity to talk shop.

"Wow, can't you just feel the love?" Sarcasm was something that came more easily to Gabriel than it did to most.
Mez chuckled at Gabriel's sarcasm in between bites. He might have a contender for the crown of sarcasm. It wasn't Mez's favorite category to win in but he couldn't help but slip his opinion sometimes. "Yeah, lots of love" Mez said smiling devilishly at Karika. He blew her a kiss for good measure, just to iritate her further.
"Mine!" She snapped, "Wear! Not Eat!" Didn't he get it? They were her clothes. Who ate clothes? Did normal people eat clothes? Now she was confused...looking down at the yellow beauties in her hand, she shook her head. No, she wasn't going to eat them.
"You sure now" Mez said, with his own hint of sarcasm. "All you need is a lil' bit of hot sauce on there and you'll be doin' alright." Mez said with a smile. He could eat almost anything with a little bit of hotsauce on it...a lot of hot sauce.
"Noon, stupid!" Yes, indeed it was after noon. Who the heck slept until noon? Didn't everyone get up at 5:12 am when the sun came up? Sleeping until noon! HA! "Wow, can't you just feel the love?" Raising an eyebrow at Gabriel, she folded her arms. "No love Mez. Mez, stupid." Didn't he get it? Apparantly not.
"That hurts Karika." Mez said putting a hand over his heart. "I mean...after all we've been through together, you still treat me with such ill will."
Turning to him, her innocent eyes met his. "Have gun?" She asked, they needed at least that. Looking over at Mez, she bared her tiny fangs at him. "Play too, stupid?"
"Sure we there can be a gun, biatch" Mez said giving Karika a nickname of her own. "Long as I get to have it" He didn't feel exactly safe playing a game where Karika had yet another means of killing him. "And by the way you did tell Gabriel over here of your little unfair advantage, right?" Mez asked. Enhanced senses just seemed to make the playing field in landslide favor for Karika.
Summary: Mez gets sarcastic too giving Karika her own stupid nickname. He agrees to play a game of hide and seek but only under certain conditions.

Re: In the Mansion (Please timestamp your posts)

Where: Kitchen
Gabriel's eyes widened a bit, and a bit is an understatment, when Karika asked about having a gun. "Umm...Karika. I'm not sure how you were taught hide-and-seek, but I never learned it with a gun. That's a bit extreme.....isn't it?" He swallowed hard, nervousness would rpactically be rolling off him in waves.
He turned to Mez, eyes almost pleading. "I mean, I may be wrong here. Mez, did you ever play hide-and-seek with guns? That's just crazy!" He turned back to Karika, eyes scanning over her, checking for scars that might indicate she'd been shot before. Too bad he didn't know about her mutation.
Then his eyes got fuzzy, or atleast that's what he assumed it was. For some odd reason there was a haze surrounding Karika, when he turned to look at mez again, it was around him too. Oddest thing though, the haze surrounded them, but didn't blur their images, didn't block out stuff behind them. He couldn't place it, but it seemed to be radiating from them. Gabriel closed his eyes tight, and rubbed them with the heels of his palms. When he opened them again, the haze was gone.
"Sure we there can be a gun, biatch" Mez said giving Karika a nickname of her own. "Long as I get to have it" He didn't feel exactly safe playing a game where Karika had yet another means of killing him. "And by the way you did tell Gabriel over here of your little unfair advantage, right?" Mez asked. Enhanced senses just seemed to make the playing field in landslide favor for Karika.
Gabriel's eyes narrowed a bit. There was a difference between being sarcastic, and being out right mean. God did not look kindly on other for calling each other 'biatch' and other such names. "First of all, that wasn't nice Mez. I think you should apologize." Gabriel watched the two of them for a second and then continued on. "And secondly, what 'unfair advantage' are you talking about?"
Summary: Gabriel almost freaks out at the idea of using a gun in hide and seek. He also has his first experience, though he doesn't know it what it is, with seeing the psionic field around others. Also, he gets a bit suspicious.

When: Afternoon
Karika growled angrily in Mez's direction as he blew her a kiss. Honestly, she had never seen such a gesture but coming from Mez? It had to be vulgar. "Yeah, lots of love" Rolling her pretty eyes skyward, she just let it pass. As for the hotsauce...the very mention of it made her shudder. "You sure now""All you need is a lil' bit of hot sauce on there and you'll be doin' alright." She had tried hotsauce once but with her acute sense of smell and, by extension, taste, hot sauce nearly killed her...
Or at least it felt like it.
"Sure we there can be a gun, biatch""Long as I get to have it" "And by the way you did tell Gabriel over here of your little unfair advantage, right?" "You not get gun, stupid!" Didn't he know how to play hide and seek? HE didn't get the gun...he would have to hide from the gun blasts. They'd have the CO hold the gun...maybe Jonathon. Umm...Karika. I'm not sure how you were taught hide-and-seek, but I never learned it with a gun. That's a bit extreme.....isn't it?" She just stared.
Where did these people come from? "No, play guns or bombs or dogs." Why didn't they know how to play a simple game? "I mean, I may be wrong here. Mez, did you ever play hide-and-seek with guns? That's just crazy!" Growling, she sneered at Gabriel. She hated that word 'crazy'. Luckily he didn't go on and on about it...or she may have gutted him. Merely being in Mez's presence put her on edge. All she needed was a reason...
Pulling her legs up so she was squatting on the counter again, she watched both of them. "First of all, that wasn't nice Mez. I think you should apologize.""And secondly, what 'unfair advantage' are you talking about?" Unfair advantage? Oh...did he mean THESE! In a nanosecond the six blades of adamantium in her hands and feet exploded outwards with a loud SNIKT. Two in each hand and one in each foot...making her look even more like an animal that she did before. "This?"

Where: Gabriel
With: Karika, Mez
Where: Kitchen
Gabriel jumped, quite literally, when the claws erupted from Karika's hands and feet. He landed on his feet about 2 feet back from where he had been standing, and stumbled. After tripping over his feet, and trying to keep his balance, he finally fell over backwards and landed on his butt. His eyes were wide with fear. This was not natural. That could not be natural, of course he was one to talk. But atleast he was empowered with natural energy and the like, not metal.
He sat there for a good while wide-eyed and breathing a little heavy from the surprise. The haze was also back, but this time not so much a haze as it was an aura. He could swear he almost saw colors around Karika. This was extremely weird. "Holy s**t!" Gabriel finally pulled his eyes away from the claws, and met her eyes. "That's......that's....." He was at a loss for words.
Gabriel turned his gaze to Mez. "You...you don't seem very freaked out by this." He narrowed his eyes slightly, suspicion clouding over in his mind so much, he forgot to watch his wording. "How many others are like me and her?" This was too much of a coincidence for him to run into someone else who had some sort of weird ability. In fact, now that he paid a little more attention, she wasn't bleeding.
Summary: Gabriel freaks out about Karika, but quickly gets over it, kind of. He also accidentally lets it slip that he is similar to her, in the mutant sense, for anyone who's character is paying enough attention.

"I mean, I may be wrong here. Mez, did you ever play hide-and-seek with guns?
Mez looked at Gabriel in silence. "Oh yeah, that's right, we used to play it with knives and knuckles." Mez thought to himself. He didn't exactly feel like sharing that piece of information with the rest of the people present.
First of all, that wasn't nice Mez. I think you should apologize."
"I think not" Mez said, not really caring too much about Gabriel's statement . He walked in this afternoon looking for something to eat, Karika was the one who growled and went into attack-mode. He wasn't sorry for the name-calling, Mez went back to eating his meal.
You not get gun, stupid!" Didn't he know how to play hide and seek? HE didn't get the gun...he would have to hide from the gun blasts. They'd have the CO hold the gun...maybe Jonathon. Umm...Karika. I'm not sure how you were taught hide-and-seek, but I never learned it with a gun. That's a bit extreme.....isn't it?" She just stared.
"Fine then" Mez said staring back at her. Clearly Mez wasn't going to get a chance to level the playing field a bit. He didn't feel much like playing hide and seek. He had stopped being 9-years-old about 3 or 4 years ago.
Unfair advantage? Oh...did he mean THESE! In a nanosecond the six blades of adamantium in her hands and feet exploded outwards with a loud SNIKT. Two in each hand and one in each foot...making her look even more like an animal that she did before. "This?"
Mez stared at the sharp edges of the knives at first his eyes picking up the instant movement just based on reflexes. But slowly he moved his eyes towards her center line, if she was going to pounce on him he'd notice. Karika was a lot more casual about displaying her blades then yesterday. So Mez tried to address her in just the same manner "How bout' you put those away." Mez said with a slight smile "Ah damn" Were the words circling in his mind. Not again. "And I meant your super-enhanced senses" Mez said clarifying.
Holy s**t!" Gabriel finally pulled his eyes away from the claws, and met her eyes. "That's......that's....." He was at a loss for words.
Gabriel turned his gaze to Mez. "You...you don't seem very freaked out by this." He narrowed his eyes slightly, suspicion clouding over in his mind so much, he forgot to watch his wording. "How many others are like me and her?" This was too much of a coincidence for him to run into someone else who had some sort of weird ability. In fact, now that he paid a little more attention, she wasn't bleeding.
"That'd be an understatement" Mez said to him. "You get used to it after a while" He continued almost casually shrugging, he kept his fear compartmentalized. Just because it wasn't the first time didn't mean that Mez wasn't afraid. Every time was just as bad and as terrifying as the first. He feared the knife-fighter more so then the actual knife. He'd gotten used to the steel a long time ago.
"From what I know there are lot "others" like us" Mez said, adding himself to the list of people Gabriel was referring to. "I've had powers for quite some time, I'm still learning how to use them well" He noted. An idea struck Mez. "How bout' we just play a good-old fashioned American game of Football?" Mez offered.
Summary: Mez feels little remorse for giving Karika a new nickname. When the knives come out Mez does his best to act casual and remove the fear from his mind. He explains to Gabriel that there are alot of mutants around. Mez also an alternative game of Football.

OOC: LOL! You want to play football with a girl with solid metal attached to her bones? Man...that could be fun. With that skeleton she weighs almost 200 pounds.
Karika hadn't meant to hurt him. She hadn't expected Gabriel to go flying back when she extended her claws. Looking apologetic, she let her hands fall to her sides. She held no fear of getting cut;even if swhe managed to hurt her own self, she'd heal up just as quickly. "Holy s**t!" Gabriel finally pulled his eyes away from the claws, and met her eyes. "That's......that's....." She felt...
She didn't know what she felt. Her cheeks were pink, she felt...shamed. Never before had Karika been embarassed about anything. Maybe she was learning the ways of the world after all. "You...you don't seem very freaked out by this." "How many others are like me and her?" He was like her? "You? This?" She asked, motioning to the claws.
She hadn't smelled the metallic substance on him...then again, he had been pretty stinky when he arrived. Mez broke into her thoughts once again. "How bout' you put those away." Copying the 'sticking tongue out' motion, she kept her claws out...just to spite him. "That'd be an understatement""You get used to it after a while" Maybe he got used to it...Karika never did. The blades slicing through her delicate skin stung every time...it never stopped.
"From what I know there are lot "others" like us" "How bout' we just play a good-old fashioned American game of Football?" Others...right. Karika only knew there was one person like her. She had heard the 'Snikt' of their claws and she could smell them...but she didn't know who it was. Not yet. Tags: Mez, Gabriel in no particular order

Jubilee walked into the kitchen, looking for some activity. She smiled at the gathered crowd.
"Hi. How's it going?" She gave them a wave. "What are we up too this fine, lovely day?" Jubilee asked, trying to be more involved with the people around her. She really wanted to have some fun... maybe go shopping.. but she wasn't sure about the rules of the house when it came to leaving. Maybe Ben would know... If she ever found him.

Where: Kitchen
Gabriel looked at the person who just walked in, and oriental girl. She was cute. He waved a little sheepishly, then finally stood up. He swallowed down the fear he felt at the sight of Karika's claws and took a step forward. The look that had come across her face when he freaked out had hurt him. "I didn't mean to freak out Karika. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" He smiled at her.
He then looked at mez, then back to Karika. "I guess the cats out of the bag. I don't have....claws....but I have powers. To dangerous in doors, but if you wanna go outside, I guess I can show you." He smirked and held a hand out to Karika, for her to take and follow him. "Trust begits trust."
Summary: Gabriel offers to show his powers, since Karika showed one of hers, and Mez admitted to having some. Since his energy blasts are a bit too dangerous for in door use, he wants to go outside show he can show the full spectrum of what he can do...t the moment.

OOC: *Smirks* Bring it
Mez grumbled slightly at Karika. "Copycat" Mez said. He wasn't too fresh this morning, Mez's comebacks were lacking this morning.
"Hi. How's it going?" She gave them a wave. "What are we up too this fine, lovely day?" Jubilee asked, trying to be more involved with the people around her.
Finally a more friendly face. Mez smiled at Jubes, Mez chose to lie, but he still wondered if Jubilee noticed Karika and her blades, she seemed pretty comfortable around it. "We doin' alright" Mez said. "Karika and I were discussing the meaning of life, and other important stuff."
"I didn't mean to freak out Karika. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" He smiled at her.
Mez raised an eyebrow in astonishment. There was a difference between friendly and downright sucking up. He wondered why Gabriel felt the need to apologize for everything for something that wasnt' his fault. "He could be part-Japanese" Mez thought, "We do a lot of needless apologizing" He said, when he visited Japan he'd seen cashiers apologizing for being so slow coming up with change when they did it only a matter of seconds.
He then looked at mez, then back to Karika. "I guess the cats out of the bag. I don't have....claws....but I have powers. To dangerous in doors, but if you wanna go outside, I guess I can show you." He smirked and held a hand out to Karika, for her to take and follow him. "Trust begits trust."
"Are we going to play football afterwards?" Mez asked. Sharing your powers seemed all good and fine but Mez wanted to do something a bit more fun then that.

Where: Kitchen
When: Afternoon, Sunday May 14th
A new smell came into the room...a girl. Karika wasn't all that interested, she didn't have much to say except some timid words. Karika was much more interested in smelling the fear in the air. Okay...it was wrong to be excited by it, but she couldn't help it. The animal in her was loving ever second of it. The little girl in her though, hated that she made them feel that way. "I didn't mean to freak out Karika. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" He had nothing to be sorry for...but Karika had no way of telling him that; her verbal capacity wasn't exactly stellar.
With a nod and a little smile, she let it pass. "I guess the cats out of the bag. I don't have....claws....but I have powers. To dangerous in doors, but if you wanna go outside, I guess I can show you." Cats out of the bag...that was an interesting way to put it. Gabriel gave her a half smile and held his hand out to her. "Trust begits trust." Jumping off the counter and landing on her feet, she grabbed his hand. "Outside!"
Outside would bring her away from Mez, hopefully. He was...abrasive to her. Not that she was any friendlier. But he made her feel...small. "Are we going to play football afterwards?" "With gun?" She asked, but if he had picked up anything from her, he'd know she was just pulling his chain. Then again...maybe football with guns could be fun!

Re: In the Mansion (Please timestamp your posts)
Who: Gabriel
With: Karika, Mez, open
Where:Kitchen then outside
When: Afternoon
Gabriel chuckled at Karika's further request for a gun. He thought by the look in her eyes that she was kidding, but for all he knew, she just really wanted to shoot Mez. So Gabriel just chuckled and led her to the door, not checking to see if Mez, or the new girl were following. He opened the door for her and held it, "Ladies first."
Once they were outside he walked over to a clear open spot and looked around to make sure no people were in injury distance. "Alright, stand back, I'm still a little shaky on my control of this." After waiting a second for Karika, and any others to move, Gabriel closed his eyes. He remained like that for about 10 seconds, when he re-opened his eyes, they were glowing a firey redish-orange, with whisps coming off them like plasma smoke. He raised his right hand toward the sky and fired off a ball of redish-orange energy straight up.
He then lowered his hand and looked at Karika. After a couple seconds his eyes slowly reverted back to normal. "So. Still want that gun?" He chuckled to himself at his joke. She wouldn't need a gun anymore, heck, was practically was a gun.
Summary: Gabriel takes Karika and any others who want to follow along outside. He then gives a small demonstration of one of his powers.

Background: Many, many years ago, Charles Francis Xavier established Xavier's School for the Gifted. Also, seeing other Mutants misusing and abusing their powers, he created the first generation of the X-Men.This original team was trained and lead by an old friend of his...Logan, aka Wolverine. Logan's co-leader was a young woman and student named Ororo Munroe, aka Storm. Once the team was trained and fielded on active missions, they took on the additional responsibility of teaching and helping new Mutants deal with their powers.On one horrible night, the X-Men were fielded to stop a particularly powerful Mutant and his 'gang'. The 'intelligence' received on this Mutant and his cohorts was sketchy and actually turned out to be a set-up to entrap the X-Men and take them captive. In the ensuing melee', 'things' happened and a number of the team were killed outright or severely injured.After making sure his remaining team-mates were going to be okay, Logan left. Xavier has not, to current time, explained his absence or even whether or not he survived.Current Time/Game Time: Almost seven years later, as Human/Mutant incidents are on the rise, Xavier once again sees a need for a Mutant 'police force'. He sees this new X-Men team as a force for good and a way to help peacefully integrate the rapidly emerging Mutant society with the established Human society. To this end, he has contacted Logan and asked him to 'come home' and train his 'new' team.
Logan has reluctantly agreed.Can shadows from their past be put aside for the good of the new X-Men? How will the surviving members of the original team react and what will they do as 'truths' are learned about that disastrous night?Note: We want the new X-Men to include younger versions of the old familiar characters such as Scott, Jean, Beast etc...as well as many of the OCC’s and other Canon characters that are available.Please ask the Staff BEFORE stating or establishing that your character was one of the old, now disbanded, original X-Men.
