Introduction
Now, decades later, they've begun to resurface again. Some young teenagers have began to develop awesome abilities, and these new mutants are now immune to the old cure.
The last war is still fresh on everyone's mind and the military has decided that if the new mutants can't be cured they'd be killed to the last one.
The mutants are powerful but they're young, unorganized, and they have trouble controlling their powers. If any of them hope to survive they'll have to band together and learn to live and fight as one.

"What happened? I remember something hitting me and then nothing..."
He looked up at the fire escape above him. The ladder was hanging down into the alleyway, nothing more than a thread of orange rust held its suspension in thin air. His question was answered, he simply hadn't been looking where he was going. He groaned, then turned to the girl.
"When you left that garage back there, did you see a guy, kinda tall, shaggy, brown hair, looked pretty tough?"

"Look," he said, to all of them in general, "I don't know about you guys, but it's getting to be about lunchtime, and I'm getting hungry. I was on my way to have some fun, then eat, but now the fun's ruined, but I'm still hungry. So is there anyway I can speed this long? Maybe get a leash and a collar or something?" When hungry he tends to get angrier quicker, and why he doesn't have any special reason to dislike any of the mutants present, he could find some quickly. "I'll even pay for the food, alright?"
Turning he looked back in the direction of where he'd left the guy who'd tried to mug him. he could hear the ambulence as it drove away, and it quieted him a little. never had he killed on purpose, but there's been accidents over the years. if you looked at his record they wouldn't show, but they still happened. Every part of his life was a cover up thanks to his old man. It was as if his fahter wanted it to seem like Romeo didn't even exist. And now that all these mutants had suddenly risen up so close to home, he felt maybe his father was connected somehow.

That's when he spotted the bullet and the assassin. The bullet was an inch from his head, frozen, suspended in thin air. The assassin on the rooftop was frozen in place, his rifle supported against his shoulder. Had he... could he possibly have frozen time? He hadn't even been conscious of the danger, but his body had reacted regardless. He had frozen time.
This is so cool! He laughed at the newest protection his power had afforded him.
"I stopped time! This is awesome." He looked over at the girl, hoping to receive some form of congratulations from her, but then he remembered she, too, was frozen. "Damn it." He looked up again at the assassin. There was no point standing around and waiting for his time-freeze to wear off and for the bullet to hit its target, he also knew he couldn't leave the girl here to suffer that fate either. He looked her up and down, trying to gauge how much she weighed. He worked out, he could probably pick her up, he thought. He slung the girl across his shoulders in a modified fireman's lift and began to walk back towards the alleyway and the garage that he had teleported to earlier.
****
He had just stood the girl up next to the tough looking guy, the crazy chick and what appeared to be a huge dog and straightened down her skirt, when in the distance he heard the whine of a bullet ricocheting in the distance. He surveyed the rag-tag bunch of teens, smiling nervously.

lolwut? How does coming in peace make someone like a girl? Is peace a wholly feminine concept? I was going more for the whole "assumed-alien" vibe, what with the teleporting and green skin and whatnot, but whatever yo. Let's see how this goes. :P
It was a joke, dude. Hell, she's a girl! Lol...
Xiphoniii wrote:Hehe, Gambit's awesome. I'm being tempted to make someone like him. The fact that I shop in the black market and such is already making me a bit like him...Hey, just out of curiosity, why does the person who's least likely to trust new people(illegal hacker, etc.) suddenly EXTREMELY popular? I find this humorous. Hehe.
Call it character development... Ahem, I actually my character is probably the most paranoid, she's borderline schizophrenic and generally nuts. Lol, if you guys want I can stop her from leaving so that we don't have to go the trouble of finding each other again...
