a character in “Xmen: Rise of the Shadows”, as played by Dak'nahlan J'novi

Description

Flicker

Image


Name: Morgan Easton


Codename: Flicker


Age: 26



Gender: Male



Place of Birth: Cincinnati, Ohio


Equipment: Leather Trench Coat along with a lengthy hunting knife.


Powers: Can create Portals and send shards of unknown composition towards targets.



Backstory: Well, I didn't really believe in these "heroes". My father always told me that those were dreams that I would never see come true and only exist in comic books... Until I started to make portals in my room. I began to ask my father why and he convinced that it was a gift from God. Nah, I didn't believe in that lie. I persisted that he would tell me. The persisting went on for three years and he finally gave in saying that I had these powers thanks to my mother. I never got to see my mother often... in fact I don't usually see her at all. My father didn't know what to do with me and shut me out from then I guess.

I'm mute. I had been ever since I was born I had always been mute. It was just something I learned to grow into. I have the ability to create up to four pairs of portals, like my mother apparently did. But, unlike my mother, I developed a sense of a defense mechanism and can throw shards towards my enemies.

The appearance of Flicker's Portals.



I didn't know where to go at my first year of college. I was intelligent like everyone else and looked like everyone else. But everyone else called me a weirdo, a waste of anatomy, and a freak I got tired of all the ridicule. It frustrated me that not anyone, not even my old friends from high school would even look my way. So, I decided to leave that and find another form of education. A form of education meant for my... specialty. I saw a flyer at a post office that stated, "Xavier's School for Gifted Young People" and I knew that that school was the one for me. I came knocking on their door and they embraced me with open arms. I hadn't gotten that in a long time. They considered my form of communication a setback and had every teacher that I went to know signing. Of course, after a couple years they caught onto all of the signs I gave them. I hadn't given a name to myself in quite sometime and Morgon just didn't seem... super enough. So I decided to come up with Flicker after the effect that my portals have around the edges. Xavier liked it. Storm liked it. And Wolverine.... well, he was my history teacher.

The world is a different place now though. It's broken, corrupt. It has people in the high seats that shouldn't be. But for now... The remaining X-men still out there need to stay hidden. Stay out of sight. Because Humanity will not forgive what We have forgotten. Things will never be the same from here on out.

So begins...

Most of the bare concrete walls started to crack and decay over the years but the one/s residing inside sure that was pretty normal for concrete. The bunker could have been in Ireland for ages. Morgan got up from his little nap, wiping his eyes with his right wrist and softly sighed, searching around for his hunting knife. He remembered leaving it on the nightstand of his bed and he quickly slipped it into it's sheath to keep from nicking himself with it.

It had been a few months since Xavier's School was void of existence and this bunker was plenty enough to supply Morgan alone. Though, with it's age showing in the surrounding walls, it made him assume that it had been used. It would only be a matter of time until the supply would have to have another quantity check. Knowing that it was a good idea to do so, Morgan went down a few floors to see where he stood on sustaining himself. There was enough to feed an entire army, but it concerned him that he had made a dent in the supply. He went back upstairs to head over to a table at the end of a hall next to the front entrance. On the contrary, there was a bit of whining coming from the wall and he flicked his head that direction, wondering what it was for. Then he soon realized that it was the silent alarm that indicated that someone was at the front entrance.

His eyes squinted a bit, knowing that no one had been here for a while in the past week. He quickly threw a portal to the end of the space where his long line of beds were. Then he set a portal near the outside of the hallway that led to the entrance. He carefully slid down the hallway, opening the doors to find two faces, one showing that he had a bit of work in technology. I slid the door a bit wider from it's crack, staring at the two at the door. I was rather on edge but I didn't know whether to invite them in or run off. I simply moved my arms in sign language, projecting out the words, "Human or Mutant?" After that he stood straight, trying see if he could detect a lie out of them.

"Don't worry, my strange...mad friend we'll get food soon." John murmured as he stared hesitantly down the dark narrow hall leading down underground. He scanned the immediate way getting only a few feet before the hall turned out of sight, there was no sign of a living being human or mutant. That is until a portal opened up. John didn't see the portal directly but the sensors in his device went haywire for a split second, a sharp pain jolting through his temple. John winced, squinting his good eye at the man that appeared in the entrance. The man signed something, which surprised John. Either the man was deaf or mute. His infinitely useful device flickered and sputtered back into action picking up the slack in his knowledge. It took notice of the patterns in his hand motions and matched the signs loosely to one of the sign language dialects. "Ah...M-mutant. You can hear me can't you?" John attempted to imitate the sign for mutant. He then tugged his dark gray scarf aside showing the threading of tubes that came from his body, flowing with a bright blue substance. "My mutation is a bit difficult to explain but I'm very much a mutant, as is my friend here. He can disintegrate things with vibration. I assume your mutation is to mess with my equiptment..."

John tapped the side of his ocular implant. It flickered, the bright blue lens flashed and grew brighter. "Is this place safe?"

Seeing this man appear, James jumped. His mind didn't process the fact that mutants could do anything basically, and seeing a man appear from a portal is pretty crazy. Why? How? He's a demon, he has to die. Wait, what's he wearing?
This man looks a lot like a soldier, somehow. It reminded James of when he was back at the testing facility, soldiers in trench coats firing bullets at James to see how much he could destroy or repel at one time. Those assholes deserve to die. Not only that, but this place seemed a lot like the facility as well. Are they bringing him back?

James fell to the floor, his hands held to his face, pulling on it. Pulling his cheeks down as he rubbed his hands over his face and covered his head. "No no no no no no no no, I-I I I I I I don't want to. No, die. Die. Hungry Hungry hungry HUNGRY! Blood, need. Food. Eat. Die. Demon. Witch. Die." He panicked, and continued to do so. The ground had begun to vibrate, slowly increasing as James continued repeating the above words. He seemed to be making a decision, leaning forward towards the strange portal man, then leaning backwards and facing the exit. Constantly switching, his head twitching around as he tried to look around but tried to hide.

Morgan took a bit to stare at the two especially the man was looking around frantically. He heard the man who was a bit more lyrically gifted than his friend and Morgan signed, "I hear. I don't talk" knowing that the man with the monochromatic scarf even had a difficult time knowing what he signed. Morgan paid attention to the words a bit more and smiled, pulsating, as if he were laughing, at the mentioning of his equipment failing due to his portals. Though due to his lack of speech, he couldn't excert a single chuckle. He opened the door wide open and signed, "Portals are my talent, as you know." He then pointed at the two portals he made and they soon dissipated.

I flicked the switch for the main lights to come on instead of the smaller lamps that were installed around the room. They fluttered to turn on but they eventually a full humming sound that the luminescent bulbs usually do. Suddenly as the man on the ground began to scrape against his face, I took a step back, signing, "What's wrong?" The ground began to vibrate slowly and I rose my hands in the air slightly, trying to keep my balance. I looked over at the Cyborg and signed, "Calm him down." I then threw two portals, one on the ceiling in the room with mattresses and one on the wall that was above the table in the room we were in for precaution.

"Hey hey hey hey hey." John's brow furrowed and he turned to his companion taking him by the shoulders and looking to his eyes. "Mad man, don't fall apart on me now. This is a safe place don't go bringing the ceiling down on us. John pulled Jame's head down level with his and he glared at him. "This man is not our enemy he is mutant like us."

John let him go and patted him on the back. "What about supper, madman?" He turned to Morgan. "We've been wandering the sheeplands for hours I think all my friend here needs is food and comfort. He's a bit fragile in the head, it's best if we keep him calm."

"Lookie lookie~." Rachelle knelled down in front of a small backpack that sat on the ground. She picked it up and began to explore it a bit. "Useless. Useless. Useless.... Oh~... " She paused as she began to float along the road holding her newly found bag of wonders. She had been traveling for quite some time now quite some time. Most of it was through space really. With Xavier's school now in crumbles, it truly wasn't safe around here. She wasn't even sure what she was doing here really.

She paused and looked around the field a bit. Her glasses slightly glowing from the wonders that were in her eyes. She sighed and began to playfully float like some astronaut doing back flips in zero-g. "What a wasteland~. Kind of makes me sad to see the land around here so.... dead.... It's truly a sha-!" She paused as she bumped into what seemed to be a cellar door. A cellar? In the middle of no where? Oh right... She had been searching for something like this. "Oh!.... Exciting~." She then paused hearing voices not too far from it. "Hello~! If your some sort of angry pack of gorilla monsters, speak now or forever hold your peace!"

It took a while, James was naturally calming down as the vibrations slowly began to fade. He was slowly accepting his pathetic fate which had caused his psychosis in the first place. However, the comforting words and actions of his cybernetic companion allowed the vibrations to suddenly stop. His hands were still placed over his head, as he listened to the man's words.
"Mad man, don't fall apart on me now. This is a safe place don't go bringing the ceiling down on us. John pulled Jame's head down level with his and he glared at him. "This man is not our enemy he is mutant like us."
He quickly looked towards Cyrus' face, his worried expression fell back to a small smile. "Yes, yes. Hungry."
"What about supper, madman?"
"Supper? Food. Hungry hungry hungry." He raised his body, his hands still rubbing over his face as he pulled his left lower eyelid down slightly while his other hand tugged on his lip sideways. His eyes were filled with insanity, his pupils dilate and his eyes wide. "This man, soldier, food. Eat. Hungry hungry hungry, eat him. Kill kill kill!" His words slowly grew louder as he continued his muttering, his eyes flickering around the room. Darting back to the new soldier-like man, then falling away again to scan the room.

Morgan knew where the food stash was so he worked quickly. The spiraling staircase that lead down to the bottom floor revealed a opening on the end of the stair case. He aimed ever so slightly and the portal opened at the bottom. He swerved back around, closing the portal that was on the ceiling and ran towards the now changed aperture above the table. Morgan jumped through, immediately rolling onto the bottom floor of the ground and seeing the storage space once again. He then grabbed a box of MRE's and then fell down through the portal, spiraling back out at the top floor. Morgan handed the box to the men and signed, "Food. If you can call it that."

Suddenly he heard the whining again and stared at the blinking silent alarm and he got up and took the portals away, sliding the door open ever so carefully. Morgan stared at the circular glasses and squinted my eyes, signing with one hand, "I can't speak though... I am sorry that..." He stared at the ground, wondering what to sign and he simply asked, "Mutant or Human?"

Rachelle gasped as she heard a bit of silence. Was this place completely empty. She then yelped slightly seeing a face appear. So someone was inside. She wondered how many people were there. She lowered herself to the ground and smiled slightly. She watched as he signed to her. Quite the familiar sight.

"Oi. So... you can't speak?" Her grand mother had been deaf so these were quite familiar to her. But only to a certain amount. She watched his hands again before beginning to sign back to him. "Mutant. Don't worry about the speaking thing. I've seen sign language a bit in my day." She said before looking around. "So....... Nice place you got here." She said with a small laugh.

A pair of dark blue converse shoes squished their way through the moist wasteland. Elaine, a tired youth, wearing a long moss green trench coat, which she'd bought on the airport, had been searching for any clues of her parents for hours and now she found herself lost in some annoying fog. She looked back, and what she saw was even more fog. She moaned and closed her eyes. This was hopeless. She'd never figure out anything about her parents. She wondered why on earth would she even believe they were still alive. Maybe they were mutants too and killed long ago. The memories of them kept the miserable hope of finding them, or at least the truth, alive. She'd been walking for a long time now. She was hungry, wet and tired. Elaine decided to do one last search before turning back. She straightened up and focused; What met her mind was surprising. Not only was it a form of construction, it was under ground, and it contained people...mutants. She stared wide eyed in its direction. She hadn't come across many of those and hesitated, but decided that for once she'd take a risk. The moist ground teased her with its bubbly laughter as she strode along.

The destruction around the girl and her current reduced state made her call out to the other people she'd sensed moments before; "Heelp!" She didn't want to face this violence by herself. She got up on her trembling feet and started walking in the direction of the bunker while gazing behind. At the sight of something alike a huge bird she gasped and quickened her pace, but the curiosity couldn't tear her eyes off of the creature. Through the fog she started doubting her first guess of a bird, but bird, missile or mutated raccoon; it was dangerous.

Morgan slid back through the hallway, leaving the door cracked open accidentally. He knew that wasn't too bad of a thought, knowing that there were four lethal mutants on edge at the moment. He looked over to the glasses girl in the bunker and signed, "Thank You. I found it a while ago." Morgan waltzed over to the stairwell and removed both opened portals at the moment, sighing quietly as it only came out as a breath with no hum to go along with. Morgan leaned up against the wall, looking at the people before him.

Gradually but without knowing, Morgan heard a bit of a scrummaging outside, but he ignored it, tilting his head at the door and then quickly pulling it away. But something told him that that wasn't the only thing that was going on outside of the bunker. All of a sudden, a large shout in fear and pain came excreting from the distance, a large boom soon following afterward. It had something to do with a creature of the air landing to the ground. Morgan shoved myself off the wall and launched two apertures, on leading to the outside and one through the wall. He entered the flaming hoop and sprinted off towards the noise, sprinting to find a burning inferno in the distance, and a woman sprinting towards him shouting for help.

Coming to his mind he got the attention of Katalin, quickly reaching over and tapping her shoulder at the end of the room. SHe might have missed that had been going on but she sure was going to figure out. Along with her little brother.

He stared off to see a man with an odd look to himself. His scaly exterior caught Morgan's attention, but the fire in the back brought him even more attention. Morgan stared over, then jumped back inside through the portal, waving for everyone to come out and then looking over to see if the mutant was okay. I ran over to him, sprinting off to see what was up.

"Excellent. It's not much but here, my friend, eat." He handed James one of the MREs. He could hear the sounds and commotions of more people arriving but for the moment he wasn't interested in meeting and greeting. He needed to be alone for so that he could set himself up for the stay. He shifted the hiker's backpack on his shoulders. "Come on, madman, let's explore this place some. I have no immediate desire to see what would happen if you where confronted with a whole group of strangers at once."

John winced as his equipment sputtered again, the bright blue lens of his artificial eye flickering like a loose bulb. He turned, about to ask Morgan where the bunks where but of course he was out investigating the trouble outside. He lead James down the narrow concrete halls with the old dusty light of the hall lights illuminating their way. John paid close mind to the the wiring that lined the ceiling and disappeared into the walls. There was some form of surveillance somewhere in there. Hooking a feed up to his device would be simple, so would settling in with the others. He could easily upgrade the electrical set up in there given an assortment of materials to work with. If this was to be their safe haven they'd need to work to make it truly safe especially with regards to humans and their military.

Seeing the man she halted warily, but sensing no hostility she met him and said "We gotta get inside the cave. That thing caused the fire over there." She waved her hands gesturing the fire and the big creature behind her, but slowed down when sensing the man couldn't speak.

Rebecca Pryde opened her eyes to see people around her. Where was she? Who were they? She didn't have the time to wonder. "Hello?" She looked at the other girl and asked "Where are we?". Rebecca looked around her and slowly stood up. She didn't remember coming here, and she certainly knew she didn't sleep walk.

Rachelle followed the male inside and looked around a bit. She wondered how long this had been here. Seemed pretty old but not old enough to survive war after war. She floated a bit before hearing a voice. She groaned slightly. "Please... No ghosts." She mumbled before following the male she had encountered earlier. She gasped slightly seeing a fire and laughed a bit.

"Wow this parties getting nuts!" She said with a smile. Fire was always a interesting sight but this one seemed to be a bit out of control. Also someone seemed to have been running from it. How fun. She looked towards the woman as she spoke. "Thing huh?..... What exactly is this 'thing' you speak of?"

She faced the second mutant and uttered insecure "Uuh," before looking back at the 'thing'. Feeling safe among these stronger mutants, she gave herself more time to look at it, though difficult through the fog.

Katalin followed Morgan out of the bunker, Job following at her heels. She wasn't really paying much attention to the conversations going on around her as her eyes scanned the scene. Fire. Unnaturally caused fire, but still fire. Which means oxygen. Smother the fire.

She noticed her brother focusing on the flying creature before he looked at his sister, "It is not an animal."

"Mutant," she confirmed with a nod as she focused on the fire.

Her eyes slid closed and when she reopened them, they glowed a dull gold color. In her mind, she imagined the oxygen molecules scattering away from the area of the fire until it was all gone. The flames slowly died down, leaving nothing but charred ground. She wandered over to Morgan, "How's that?"

Job made his way over to the fallen mutant carefully. He was conscious, but quite obviously disoriented. Before the mutant could see him, he walked back over to his sister and Morgan, "Definitely mutant."

Elaine was glad the fire was gone and taking note of everyone around her she didn't feel threatened, but they made her tense and wary. She worried most about the source of the destruction though; "Is it dangerous?" she asked while backing away so they were between her and the 'thing'.

"Is it dangerous?" a girl asked and Job felt a small flare of annoyance.

He looked at her, "Not it, he. And I think he's just scared, maybe a bit confused."

Katalin put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm gonna check it out," she walked over to the boy before anyone could stop her, crouching down next to him. "Hey, you okay?" Her blue eyes shimmered with worry as she watched him.

Job turned to the others. "Hiya, I'm Job Volkov. Pleasure to meet you all," he laughed softly as a rabbit bounded up to him, leaping into the boy's arms, "And this is Appleseed."
