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.

Flicker looked up at Rachelle and then signed, smiling "Yeah. I'm sure we can. I'd love to-" He cut off his signing, hearing Elaine in a panic. Flicker rose his brow and he got up from the table, slipping out another portal next to the hallway like before and staring over at the door. He was still thinking about the white eyes that were shown instead of Elaine's soft brown ones. He opened it all the way this time, tilting his head at the lady as he signed, "Mutant or Human?"

Rebecca sat down on the bed. The X-men, she heard someone say. The X-men were mutants. Her parents had been ShadowCat and Iceman. So that means I'm not normal..., Rebecca thought.

By now Elaine had been exposed to too much pressure and not only did her sight go, she could no longer hear or taste. With her numb body she made to sit down on the floor and she could more strongly feel the cold concrete and the surroundings of the people around her. She felt more like a floating molecule than a humanoid. She saw Rebecca's confuse and distress while calling out for Morgan and her own growling belly were like an earthquake to her inner ears. Her white eyes stared at Rebecca.

Rebecca waited then looked at Elaine. "What happened to you?" She asked, walking over to her and looking at her eyes. "Elaine, tell me what happened to you." when she didn't answer Rebecca said "Elaine, can you hear me? Can you see or hear me at all?"

"Mutant or human"

Neema thought about the question. There were really others like her? She was pretty sure humans didn't have the ability to create portals as this man had. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She was too excited to sign back to the man. A lone, rejoicing tear slipped from her eye and a small smile, the first in a long time, formed on her face. "Mutant." she replied. "Is this place safe?"

Morgan turned his head at the commotion and then held his finger up at the woman outside, as to tell her one moment and smiling nervously. He slammed the door and ran over to the scene, dismantling the portal next to the hallway. He looked over to Elaine and stared trying to figure out what he could possibly do. Due to the lack of communication that Elaine gave to us, she seemed to have lost her senses. Morgan picked her up gently and took her to lie down on a bed.

She signed at everyone in the room and stated, "She overloaded herself somehow... I think she needs to rest. Until then no one make contact with her, please?" I waited for everyone's response and then headed back to the door opening it and signing, "Sorry, come on in, make yourself at home."

"Hey, Morgan, how do I figure out what my mutant powers are?" Rebecca asked him, walking over to him. She was still worried about Elaine and still confused about her being not a human.

Elaine grabbed Rebecca's arm in blindness and tried to talk, but her throat was clenched. As Morgan closed in she hummed displeased "Mm," and strived to talk. When being carried however she stuttered "Girl needs help," and she moved her hand in the newly arrived mutant's direction. She was pleased that Flicker once again went over to the new girl and she relaxed on the bed.

Rachelle gasped as she floated towards where everyone was. She held her head and yelled slighlty. "Ah!" She said while seeing the other girl. She then paniced slightly while seeing the other going through a struggle of some sort. "Oh no! This parties getting mad nuts guys!" She said before laughing nervously. "So uh.... No ones ever like... Died here right?.... Right?"

While it was rather bad timing that an unconscious woman was bought over right after she asked whether or not this was a safe place, Neema was in no place to pick and chose where she took refuge. Besides, the residents seemed nice enough and they were all mutants from what she was able to gather thus far. She couldn't turn this down. She nodded to signing man. "Thank you." To interact with another human was now quite alien to her after so much time on her own. She wasn't even sure she knew how to talk to another person. She shouldered her bag and followed the man inside, already feeling safer and more at peace as she entered the bunker.

Elaine closed her eyes and smiled at the flying girl. A relieved sigh left her lips when Neema was at ease. She sat up dizzily in the bed and held a hand onto her roaring belly. She moaned and looked around instinctively for food with weary eyes. "Excuse me, do you have any potato chips?" she didn't dare ask for more than the slightest. "Water," she sighed and her mind twirled.

Rebecca sat down in front of a mirror on the wall. She was thinking of her parents, and how much she wanted to be like them. She concentrated hard on the thought of being her mother. She closed her eyes. Then she opened them and looked in the mirror. She looked exactly like her mother now. Then she concentrated on her father and looked at the mirror. Then sitting in her spot was her father in the mirror. "I'm a shapeshifter" Rebecca whispered.

Neema unshouldered her bag and let it slide onto the floor. "Chips...chips.." she repeated to herself. She opened the bag and started to maneuver around. The was decorated with My Little Pony stickers. Half of it was just flashlights and batteries. The rest, your average, run of the mill "Mutant on the run supplies," she handed the girl a bottle water and a small bag of chips. "So what is this place?"

"This is a boarding school for mutants" Rebecca said, walking over to the new girl. "I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Pryde, daughter of Kitty and Bobby Pryde, also known as ShadowCat and Iceman"

Elaine's sight was still blurry, and when being handed the chips and the water she softly said "Thank you," and started on the bottle after a fumbling fail at the bag. The bag fell to the floor while the girl drank non stop, filing herself with the old, but clean water. She blinked repeatedly to gain her sight back.

Leading the signing girl inside, Morgan smiled exceptionally largely to see that another person knew how to sign as well as he did. He walked over to see the rest of the people in the room and signed to Rachelle, "No... well... Not yet..". He paused and then continued on signing, "I'm Flicker. I'll let you guys get acquainted I'm just going to..." He stuttered in the bit of his signing, looking around the room for Cyrus and that... other mutant. "Where could they have gone?" He threw a portal out down the hallway where he last saw them and placed another beside him. He sprinted through the sparking portal and appeared on the other end of the hallway, seeing the two, Cyrus moving mechanical arachnids around the halls.

Morgan tapped on the wall beside him to get their attention and then signed to Cyrus, "What are you doing?"

"It is a place that takes in mutants. Anyone can live here. People my age, 17, or younger, can be homeschooled here. Watch this" Rebecca nodded and smiled, shapeshifting to a replica of Neema. "Cool huh?"

Neema jumped when the girl shaped shifted. It wasn't the fact that she had been able to do it that shocked her, but what she saw when she looked at herself. Dark bags hung under tired eyes. Eyes that didn't belong to the person she was two years ago. She managed a small smile for the girl. "Yes, very impressive."
