David Stillman

"I didn't ask for this..."

0 · 767 views · located in Marvel Universe 616

a character in “The X-Men: After M-Day”, as played by Tylerjohnny1

Description

Name: David Stillman
Codename: Volt
Age: 18

Mutant Ability: Electricity manipulation. When David is near an open source of electricity, he starts to crave it.When he starts absorbing electricity, it gets harder to resist. When he uses his powers at all, his whole body is almost consumed in electricity due to his lack of control. He does have a naturally high amount of electricity flowing through him that he can use if needed, but his action will not be as strong and will physically tire him if he uses too much. He can heal using electricity, but must be using an outside source. He can't send out just a single arc strike, but instead must send out large amounts of electricity at a time. He also has developed a split personality when enough electricity is absorbed, dubbed Freakshow. Once it gets to the point to where his bones start to be able to be seen through his skin, Freakshow is taking over. This alter ego is crazy, and will kill everything. To stop him, he must be drained dry, by either using his power up or being drenched in water. David can overpower him if enough emotion is put behind it. With training and the right amount of control, he can learn to do the following: Use the electricity to tighten muscles/increase muscle strength , create a wall/shield of electricity that incinerates oncoming projectiles, and sense out electricity nearby.

Extra Abilities: David was the star football player, and as such has an athletic build. Even though he was a sports star, he was very interested in academics, and came 2nd in his class.

Appearance:
Image
David has dark brown hair an hazel eyes. His hairstyle is short. His expression is that of a soft and peaceful one, always having a very slight smile and a calm look in his eyes. He stands 6 feet tall.
Image

Weakness: Bullets...mainly to the head and face. Water causes major problems with his powers, sending the electricity all throughout the water. Once his charge has dispersed through the water, he must absorb electricity in order to gain enough to use his power.

Nationality: Eastern American, Virginia.
Demeanour: Outgoing and confident, David is comfortable with people. His morales are good and will do the right thing. Although, given his recent history, he is a little shocked(no pun intended).
Quirks: David isn't easy to piss off, but when you do, it isn't pretty. The only subjects that get to him are his parents(mom and dad for different reasons) and calling him a failure or a loser.
Orientation: Straight
Equipment: The clothes he brought and a picture of him and his father fishing in his wallet.

Personnel History: David has been a mostly normal boy his whole life. His mother, who was abusive, left when he was 10. The only memories he has of her are her calling him a loser and a failure. His father raised him alone, and they did a lot together. Eveery sunday during the summer they would go fishing. David was a great athlete from when he started baseball at 8, to his high school football career. He was also an exceptional student, being only outsmarted by some girl who he never liked. There was no sign of his mutation until his high school graduation. It was held in a nice bulding, with a big stage. When David walked up to the stage and was about to givehis speech, he noticed large wires that were running under the stage, and could be seen through an open latch that was meant for maintnance. One of the wires was stripped. He zoned out, and had this strange urge to touch it. He walked over to it, confusing everyone. when he reached to touch it, an arc hit his finger. After a second, the arc got bigger. A few seconds after that, all the wires were shooting out electriccity at David. He was covered in electricity, and it was shooting off of him in all directions. The crowd screamed and ran. He started to hear a voice in his, a whisper at first, then it was yelling "I'm taking over!". David lost control, and Freakshow started frying everything in sight. The the crowd all pretty much left before Freakshow came fully into control. Everyone left but one, his father. His father walked up to the stage to try and stop is son, but Freakshow struck him in his rampage. David, realizing what had happened, overpowerd Freakshow. David ran to his father, but it was too late.

The police arrived and took him into custody. He was given temporary insanity and was put into the care of Xavior's School.

So begins...

As Tracey was lounging in the water, he heard Tommy speak to him. "Shit Trace, I was about to break your balls over them goldfish titey whiteys you got on but hell... That little trick of yours has got me scratching my head. The hell are your powers anyway?" Tracey smiled slightly at the jab at his swim wear. He straightened himself out and looked over to him. "Well, firstly, The Koi are a symbol of wisdom and longevity and have been the guardian of my family for 17 generations. So on that note, Moka-moka Su-su. Secondly, you wish you could pull these off." Tracey said with a devious smile. He was obviously just joking and poking fun at Tommy. He then swam a bit closer to them. "As for my powers. I can actually do a lot of things. As far as my understanding of them go, they are psychic in nature. I can coat objects or people in a psychic field and either accelerate the speed in which they move or decelerate. I can also harden the field, which in affect changes the density of the person or object. I can flick a die and make it move at the speed of a bullet. The smaller the object, the faster I can make it go." He explained it rather teacher like. He then closed his eyes and breathed in. "Another power I have, Ive possessed for a long time, since I was about 5. I can sense and feel all living things within a 500 yard radius of myself. I mean all living things. People, animals, insects, plants. Even the micro-organisms currently attaching themselves to you as you swim in the lake." He smiled at the last part, simply playing a joke on them......though, there actually were things attaching themselves to them, but, that's what happens when you swim in a lake. He looked back at them, specifically Tommy. "I can even sense if someone is a human or mutant....or something else. I can't read their powers or anything like that, but still. Along with this power, I can sort.....lock on to people. It's hard to describe." He said scratching the back of his head, trying to find the right words. He sort of just gave up. "Back in Tokyo, everyone called me Sogekihei. It means Sniper."

Tracey noticed it was getting dark, when Cataleia mentioned his tattoos. "Nice tats." she said with a friendly grin on her face. Tracey looked down at them and thought about each one of them. What each one of them meant to him. He looked back at her with a weak smile. "Thank you. Each of them mean something to me." He then spun around and pointed a thumb to the large detailed tattoo on his back. "This one took almost two years to finish. It is a tradition among my family to get your tattoos done the old way......by dipping a piece of sharpened bamboo in ink and continuously jabbing it into your skin until the tattoo is complete. It may take a lot longer than the electric needles, but it shows a sign of conviction to it. You can't get a tattoo on drunken fancy if it takes over a year to get, you know what I mean?" Tracey said with a small laugh. He spun back around and looked towards her. "Your tattoos are interesting as well.......perhaps one day you will tell me the stories behind them." Tracey spoke in a soft and respectful voice.

It had gotten darker now, as some time had passed, and Cataleia began to glow. That must come in handy. Tommy dried off an apparently was done for the day. "I'm gunna take off guys, gotta get ready for the party. I'll see you all there." Tracey gave him a wave. "See you then." Tommy paused and gave Cat a personalized goodbye. "I know you'll be dressed to impress tonight beautiful. Can't wait to see what you come up with." Tracey smiled a rather large smile but looked down as he did it. He didn't know why, but he had always enjoyed hearing couples speak positively to each other. He guessed it was because he missed how his parents used to talk to each other when he was younger. Tommy then walked off into the night.

Tracey walked over to Cataleia with his towel around his waist. " Tommy seems like a good guy and fun to be around. Cataleia-sempai, I don't know if I'm overstepping my bounds here but, how long have you and Tommy-kun been together?"

David went down an touched the bottom from where he was, and then came back up to see...Tracey in a speedo. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Slowly, he swam backwards. Is he...no I must have...I...oh Jesus. He scratched the back of his head. 'You know David, if you let me kill him now, I'd be doing EVERYONE a favor. The others would be dying for a noble cause...a necessary sacrafice." He visualized them all being electrocuted in the water, twitching and thrashing around .Well, if that noble cause is stopping that speedo from ever being worn again. He smirked, obvously not seriously considering it, but thinking about it non-the-less. "As for my powers. I can actually do a lot of things. As far as my understanding of them go, they are psychic in nature. I can coat objects or people in a psychic field and either accelerate the speed in which they move or decelerate. I can also harden the field, which in affect changes the density of the person or object. I can flick a die and make it move at the speed of a bullet. The smaller the object, the faster I can make it go." It sounded like he was giving a lesson. Thank you professor, if only I gave a shit. He turned his head and rolled his eyes. "Oh listen to him talk about his powers. I'd like to show him some true power, in the form of watts. Let's see him "decelerate" 5,000 Joules heading straight for him. C'mon David. If not for me, then for science." David chuckled at that. You know, you are one seriously fucked up person. "Yes David, we are. I still can't believe what you did to your father, how...cruel." David's face shifted to a face of anger and hatred, almost accidentally turning the lake into a death trap.

"I'm gunna take off guys, gotta get ready for the party. I'll see you all there." Tommy's goodbye snapped him out of it. He looked up and nodded to Tommy. I should probably go in too. David swam to shore and dried himself off and put the tank top back on . He waved to the two in the lake. "Alright, see you guys later." Then he went back to the mansion. He grabbed a quick snack and then headed to the shower. His father came back to mind, haunting him. He got out, dried off, and went over to his bed where his suit was. This one was a gift from his dad for graduating. In fact, it was his father's favorite suit, and he gave it to his son. David pulled out his wallet and looked at the picture of him and his dad fishing. "The good old days," he said with a weak voice. A tear came to eyes, dropping down on the photo. "I'm sorry dad...I'm so sorry." Five minutes passed before he put the photo back in its wallet. He put on the suit with his father's red lucky tie. It had gold lettering on it that ready "Carpe Diem", the phrase his father lived by. "Sieze The Day." He went down the stairs, Tommy at the bottom. He smiled and nodded his head, and passed him. He started exploring the mansion a little when he spotted a familiar looking guy, dressed for a blizzard. "Hey, hold on!" He caught up to him. "My name is David. I didn't catch your name. You heading to the party?"

The twilight left by the remainder of the sun was giving way to a blanket of peaceful darkness, and Alex had finally found his way to the lounge again. While not where he wanted to be, it was a good start for at least getting his bearings. He noticed several people seemed to be moving about through the halls, and there were faint noises from the floor above. Okay, it's safe to assume it's some kinda party by now, and that it's upstairs. Now......... where are the damn stairs? You know what? Screw it, I'm just going to follow the herd. Perhaps the most impressive thing of the afternoon was the fact that Alex was able to put on a somewhat believable facade of calm. Glancing around nonchalantly, and appearing to actually know where he was going.

Upon the way, Alex passed by the dorm he was told to be his. He'd yet to see the inside of it, as there was no point seeing as he had no possessions to unpack. Maybe I should at least go in? See where I'm suppose to be living for God knows how long. Oh God, please don't let me have a roommate! That'd just be awkward as all hell. Alex reached for the doorknob, when he seemed to be hailed by a familiar voice. "Hey, hold on!" Old instincts seemed to be slightly dulled, as he only half jumped out of his skin. He glanced in the direction of the greeting, and found David, the guy from the hallway. Hey, didn't knock someone over this time. Win.

"My name is David. I didn't catch your name." Why is it that's what someone always says when you clearly didn't give your name? Every time! "You heading to the party?" The shock of being openly asked, this time by someone speaking below the sound barrier, made Alex freeze up a bit. "Uhhhh...... I, ummm...." Speak, stupid, speak! Use words! "Uhh, yeah...... I just.... didn't know where it was. Or is. I'm guessing it's upstairs?" Wow. One whole sentence AND a question with no stutter. Mission: Successful.

"Oh, and I'm... uhhh....." Alex. Alex! Your name is Alex, you punce! "Al-Alex! I mean, I'm Alex." He let loose a small, embarrassed chuckle, and scratched at the back of his neck. Yeah, cover it up with a laugh. No one heard me forget my own name. Alex glanced down, before looking back at David. "So.... I take it everyone is kinda going to this thing? I think that one girl inviting people said she was trying to get everyone. Though she was talking...... really fast, so I might be wrong."

Tommy was casually relaxing at the bottom of the steps when David jogged past him. The two exchanged a quick nod before David dissapeared around the corner. Tommy was alone for a few more minutes before a student approached him.

"Hey uhhh... you're uhhh Tommy right? Castilloni?"

"Castellano."

Tommy corrected roughly. The student nodded excitedly. Probably 16 or 17 with shaggy brown hair and the beginnings of a scraggley beard. The teens eyes were a bright green but had a wild look to them. His nervousnes poured off him in waves. Tommy arched his eyebrow curious what this was all about.

"Right yeah sorry man, yeah hey I was wondering... Uhhh like if you have anything?"

Tommy just stared at him, his eyes squinting slightly as his mind was already beginning to work out what this kid wanted.

"What?"

Tommy asked as if daring him to ask again. The teen rubbed his arm anxiously as he looked around, making sure no one else was in the hall way.

"Yeah you know man... you uhhh got any stims?"

Tommy grumbled under his breath and shook his head.

"I don't deal in that shit chief."

The teen persisted, getting on the step beside Tommy as he crouched next to him.

"Ahh c'mon Tommy man, I can pay."

Tommy's patience was wearing thin but he tried to keep a lid on his anger.

"I said I don't deal man. Get the fuck outta here."

Tommy growled. The teen pressed just a little further, reaching out and grabbing a handful of Tommy's jacket sleave pleadingly.

"Hey man c'mon I know you got what I need dude. I just need one hit man, one!"

"PIECE OF SHIT!"

Tommy surged to his feet, a curse tearing from his throat as he pinned the skinny young teen, half his size to the wall at the base of the stairs. Castellano had his shirt collar in his grip as he nearly lifted him off his feet as he pressed him against the wall.

"Get this through your head you junkie piece of shit! I don't fuckin deal! And I don't know who does! You hear me?! Hey!"

Tommy said, pausing to slap the teen in the mouth as the junkie turned his head in terror. The smack refocused his attention on the angry Italian in front of him.

"Pay attention when I'm talkin to you! Now you get the fuck outta here and don't come dickin around me again looking for a fix or I'll break your fuckin jaw! You got that you little shit?!"

The teen was near to tears as he shook in fear. Tommy slapped him again, blood began to form around the kids teeth from the second blow. The junkie shook his head in submission.

"Y-Yeah, sorry."

Tommy growled and hurled him off the last step, sending him sprawling to the floor.

"Get outta my fuckin hallway you stupid fuck..."

Tommy growled dangerously taking a single step towards him, shadow beginning to radiate from him like thick black smoke in response to his anger. The junkie took off without a second look, sprinting out of the hallway. Tommy glared after him, visibly still furious about the incident.

"Al-Alex! I mean, I'm Alex. So.... I take it everyone is kinda going to this thing? I think that one girl inviting people said she was trying to get everyone. Though she was talking...... really fast, so I might be wrong." David looked at him strangely at first, but as he finished a small smile came to the surface. "Well, I don't know what girl you're talking about, but even if you weren't invited by her, you can come with me." David looked Alex up and down once. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you wearing that? It isn't exactly cold in here." Before Alex could answer...or try to answer, an angered voice was heard from down the hall.

"PIECE OF SHIT!" David looked down the hall. "What the...C'mon, let's go check it out." David started down the hallway, not checking to see if Alex was following. As David got closer, he could hear more being said. "...I'll break your fuckin jaw! You got that you little shit?!" Is that Tommy talking? David started to pick up the pace. "Heh, maybe there's a fight going on, and somebody is about to get ripped limb from limb. But one can only hope, right David?" Can you just shut up? David was nearing the end of the hallway, which was next to the stairs. "Get outta my fuckin hallway you stupid fuck..." He turned the corner and saw Tommy, who was still clenched up with anger. "What the hell is going on here? Everything alright?" He looked over and saw that someone else had beaten him to the chase, although David asked anyway.

"Well, I don't know what girl you're talking about, but even if you weren't invited by her, you can come with me." Alex could feel something akin to his version of a smile. "S-seriously? That'd..... be swell." Did I really just say 'swell'? Oh my God, I'm a dork. "I don't get to go to a lot of parties...." At all... Alex lifted his head up, so the brim of the hat no longer blocked his view of David's face. He could sense that this guy was okay, even though he looked the sort to hang a nerd by his underwear from a flagpole. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you wearing that? It isn't exactly cold in here." "Uhhh....... well......." "PIECE OF SHIT!" Thank you, God.....

Someone was yelling down the hall, and like there was vengeance to be had. "What the...C'mon, let's go check it out." "Do we have to?" Did I say that out loud? Before he could react, David became the "Fred" to Alex's "Shaggy". He was pretty sure David didn't realize it, but he had literally dragged Alex along. The one that appeared to be doing the yelling looked like a young "wise guy" from an old mob movie. Dapper and prim, like he was heading to someones wedding. Or funeral. He looked like he was having a conversation with some other guy, presumably about what happened earlier. David looked like he was about to get involved as well, but Alex found himself barely poking out from behind the corner......

Huh..... wonder if this is going to end more like God Father or Good Fellas?

Danni O'byrne

Danni walked around the many corners that were build in the mansion, humming a random tune to fit her cheery mood. Two people passed her by, one particularly getting her attention by the amount of clothing he, or maybe she wore like a second Ice Age was approaching. But the heavily clothed figure was gone as quickly as they arrived.

Not giving it any more attention than it would need, the girl continued her cheerful walk, finally reaching the corridor where the stairs were located. Luke was already there, as were others it seemed. “Luuuke~!” Danni shouted gleefully, approaching her friend and the the figures that were waiting for the party to begin.

“Heeey~ I don't recall that we'd be joining other people...?” She halted her walk just beside Luke, placing her left index finger on her lower lip as she tried to figure out who the other guys were. One was the winter guy, who Danni could only describe as weird. Another was a really large, compared to Danni anyway, bloke that would be fit to play rugby or some other brainless man-sport.

And then there was the fancy-dressed guy that sat on the stairs, a frightening expression of anger glued on his face. Had something happened? Maybe he was angry that Danni had interrupted some guy conversation of some sort, wouldn't surprise her. “Did I miss something?” Her red-brown eyes scanned over to Luke, a confused expression trying to get the curly-haired boy's attention with hopes of getting informed.

Luke couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit after hearing the guy speak
.
“That has to be the coolest accent I have ever heard, honestly I thought it only existed in old gangster films.”

Luke jabbed a thumb behind, indicating the kid that just left. Two more people turned up who seemed to know the slick fellow.

Better not get into a tussle here, if more turned up I’d be buggered.

Luke continued to watch the other two as he spoke.

“Know him? Pfft I only know about four people in the entire building so far and it looks like I’m better off that way, not knowing him I mean. Wouldn’t want you to try and cave my skull in now would I?”
Luke looked at his phone, it was almost seven and this was the spot he was meant to meet Danni. Which was a nuisance because it meant Luke couldn’t leave the spot to defuse the situation. The other two eyed him suspiciously, well one of them did. He presumed the one dressed for a skiing holiday was also watching him carefully.

“Besides I’m new here, I don’t know if that kid was some poor nerd who you just ordered to do your homework or whether he is some kind of low life that just tried to mug you. So I’m not going to jump to any conclusions here...” Luke stopped briefly, carefully wording his sentences “But what I do know is you just scared some poor kid out of his wits so forgive if I am a little hesitant to smile happily at you whilst I stand here.”

That moment Danni flew into the hallway from the corridor, as smiley and cheery as ever.

“Heeey~ I don't recall that we'd be joining other people...?”

Luke bit his bottom lip Well This is awkward

"Uh I think it's time we got to the party Danni, this fellow seems to have had a bit of an encounter with another...smaller...student. As you can see he is still a bit snarly and maybe we shouldn't bother him with our yano...generally positive outlook." With that he gave Tommy a smile that just seemed to say I don't trust you Bully

“Did I miss something?”

"Nooo lovely, don't think you could upset someone if you tried" Luke said with another wink and a smile

Tommy nodded as his fiery eyes locked onto the pale green ones of the guy in front of him while a bold grin flashed on his face.

"Smart guy..."

Tommy said as he took a single step closer to the guy. Tommy took a minute to allow the sparking anger to cool to a low boil as he adjusted his platinum cuff links on his suit. He rose his gaze, his eyes flicking to the girl at the guys side for just a second. Tommy always had a soft spot when women were involved. That meant he wasn't going to make good on this guys fear about him caving in his skull.

"Excuse me miss, me and your boy we're just having a few words we didn't get to finish. If you'll just give us a minute. I don't like leaving business unfinished."

Tommy said to the girl, his words gentle almost apologetic yet foreboding. His eyes flicked up to the guy in front of him and locked on.

"Let me tell you somethin Mr. Smart Guy. Back where I'm from people like you don't last long. They talk tough and try to help the helpless and all that bullshit. You know where they end up? In a gutter holdin their guts and screamin for their mothers. You know why that is your Majesty? Because they assume. They assume just like you did. You see that fucking limp dick running scared and you assume the big bad Guido was smacking him around for no god damn reason. Don't let this mutant high bullshit fool you. This ain't high school and I'm not some playground bully lookin to rough up nerds for their lunch money. You wanna be the good guy hot shot? Why don't you get your fuckin facts straight before you start slinging accusations around."

Castellano paused to chuckle as he shook his head. He took a step back and looked at the guy almost like he felt sorry for the guy.

"You know it's funny, back home I probably woulda made good on your little joke. Hell mighta done worse... Guess it's good I'm not huh?"

Tommy shook his head again with just a hint of a laugh. His eyes flicked to the girl and he gave her a quick nod.

"Sorry about the cursing miss. Captain America here just got me a little riled up. Won't happen again. You two have a good night."

His gaze turned back to the boy scout, a hollow smile on his face.

"See you around Cap."

Tommy said before walking off, his anger still smoldering within him but there was something else there too, loneliness. Things were becoming painfully aware that Tommy Castellano didn't belong here.

David looked from Tommy, then to the other kid. He could feel he tension in the air. "Oh boy, I hope they spill eachother's guts all over the floor. My money is on the pissed off Italian." "You know it's funny, back home I probably woulda made good on your little joke. Hell mighta done worse... Guess it's good I'm not huh?" "Yea fucking kick his ass! Wait...they aren't going to...WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!? Remind me to fry mob boy over there for being a pussy!" David ignored the voice in his head and watched as Tommy walked away. Well...I guess that could have gone worse. Well this is an interesting situation to be in. He stepped foward towards the other kid. "He's not that bad, you just caught him...uh...in a bad mood." "Ya...you caught him on his fucking PMS! Damnit, why can't he be the type to actually carry out his threats?!" "My name is David." He put out his hand to both the guy and the girl. "Oh, and this is..." As he looked over his shoulder. "...this is Alex. We were just heading to the party, and you two are welcome to accompany us."

Luke continued to smile throughout Tommy’s rant, at one point he nodded and before long his thoughts began to run wild.

Pssshht maybe he is a real mobster, remember that one we tied up outside the police station. He was given it all the, where I’m from crap as well, shall we kill him?


Luke’s smile faded as soon as the thought entered his mind, he had never had a thought like that before, why had he thought that? Kill him? Why would he ever do that?

No, god no. What the hell is wrong with you sometimes Luke.

With that Luke came back to reality and quickly resumed his grin.

"You know it's funny, back home I probably woulda made good on your little joke. Hell mighta done worse... Guess it's good I'm not huh?"

“I didn’t say you would cave in my skull my friend, I said you’d try. And try you would.”

"Sorry about the cursing miss. Captain America here just got me a little riled up. Won't happen again. You two have a good night."

“I’m British, but thank you for the comparison.” Luke said seemingly un-phased by Tommy’s outburst. Back home Luke had often responded to such speeches with violence, but he was much younger then, and over the years realised violence tended to lead to more violence. He developed a thick skin when it came to verbal insults a long time ago. “Hope you and your friends have a good night too.”

With that the boy turned around and went to leave "See you around Cap." He said, it was clear he was still about to blow at any moment.

“See you around to my friend.”

Luke turned to Danni, who he thought may have been a little distressed by the outburst.

“Let’s try and not let that ruin our night” he said delicately “People like that aren’t worth worrying about. Let’s go upstairs and meet some new people. Besides I don’t think it was me that got him angry...” Luke sighed heavily “Unfortunately he didn’t like my tone and I became the focus of that anger, but I really don’t think he meant to direct it at me. Hate to be the guy he is really mad at.” Luke said with a smile “You look pretty tonight, let’s go upstairs so you can make all the boys blush huh?”

Suddenly David approached the two, Luke eyed him cautiously as he approached.

"He's not that bad, you just caught him...uh...in a bad mood."

"I figured" Luke said rather sternly "Sorry, I do not mean my words to be provacative, my name is Luke and this beautiful young girl is Danni."

"...this is Alex. We were just heading to the party, and you two are welcome to accompany us."

Luke waved to Alex before shaking his head in reply "I'm sorry but I would rather not have a repeat of that incident, I do not think it would be wise for me to be close to him right now. Perhaps I will see you at the party, when he had cooled off?" Luke said, in a much more positive tone shaking the boys hand.

Danni O'byrne

Things we're going on. What it was, Danni couldn't quite get a solid grasp on, but she could already conclude that there was one person she wouldn't like, even if said person was acting all kind and soft on her.

“Luke, let's g-” Her plea was interrupted by the bloke that was looking like he was hell itself. The guy appeared to have it in for Luke, and that was another minus point in Danni's book. All high and mighty, like he owned the place, threats weren't excluded either. After that barrage of 'Mafia' acting, Danni stuck out her tongue when the suited boy turned around and left. “Stupid.” She muttered in a agitated and whispering tone. She hoped he wouldn't go to the party, chances are it may be pooped with an attitude like that in the room.

”Uh I think it's time we got to the party Danni,”

Yes, please? Things were beginning to be unnerving, and Danni wasn't quite ready to drop her cheerful mood just yet. “I didn't do anything, did I?” Her eyes scanned back to Luke, a concerned glow circling inside of them. She really hoped this wasn't her doing, though it didn't really sound nor looked like it.

“Nooo lovely, don't think you could upset someone if you tried.”

Danni giggled heartily at that remark. The girl pulled at Luke's hand with hers, signalling he should get a move on. This... Scene was getting a bit too gloomy for her liking.

“You look pretty tonight, let’s go upstairs so you can make all the boys blush huh?”

“Oh~ And I thought I already scored one...” The girl teased, but her patience was growing thin, and she just wanted to get going. It was a good thing Luke handled the introductions, as Danni wasn't about to... Maybe because she had a suspsicion that these two were with that stupid mafia-esque guy. “Let's go Luke~ I don't like waiting...”

“Oh~ And I thought I already scored one...”

“Oh...” Luke chuckled nervously

Did she just flirt back, ah crap whatever you do don’t get flustered and forget how to speak!

“Let's go Luke~ I don't like waiting...”

“Then I’d hate to keep you waiting. See you around friends, and apologize to the Mr Noir for me when he has calmed down.” Luke said, although it didn’t sound like a completely genuine request it, it was a sincerely kind one.
With that Luke turned to Danni with a smile

“May I escort you to the party Mrs?” He said, jokingly wrapping his arm around hers “Let’s have some fun.”

He walked with Danni up the stairs to the third floor. The music was a soft symphony, Luke felt like some kind of aristocrat as he entered the room with the young girl on his arm.

The room was dark to a certain extent but not dark enough to cause a problem. A table was in the corner with all kinds of refreshments and light snacks. Luke pondered getting some punch but waved the idea out of his head when he remembered it would be non-alcoholic. The place was packed, Luke spotted the girl with the bright blue hair in a corner with a clipboard and another girl. They must be having some discussion about the party. The disco lights dashed around the room, stopping and moving again erratically. It reminded him of some kind of school disco, which made him feel old. Like he was some kind of sixteen year old.

Luke you are with a sixteen year old...ITS ONLY TWO YEARS!


Luke tore himself away from his inner argument to turn to Danni and smile.

“May I have this first dance Mrs Danni?”

Alex stayed back around the corner, far from fist distance. Huh, looks like it might be Good Fellas.... He was sure that all hell was about to break loose, but it seems things were able to not hit their flash point as of yet. The arrival of a clueless girl seemed to help, as neither of them looked as though they wanted to duke it out in front of her.The pissed off Soprano didn't look like he was in the mood to ruin his suit, even though the other British dude wasn't helping. Things went down to a low simmer, as the Italian tossed out a crack about Captain America. Not to stereotype, but wouldn't Union Jack be a little more appropriate?

After hosing the walls with machoness, it looked officially over. The Brit seemed to be the date of the young girl, who frankly looked half his age. This wasn't helped by her sticking out her tongue when Mr. Suave turned his back. That, and the following conversation. “I didn't do anything, did I?” “Nooo lovely, don't think you could upset someone if you tried.” I think..... I'm going to be abominably ill... Just when Alex felt they were finally in the clear, David approached the couple. Alex covered his face shamefully with his palm, and mumbled "Oh crap, here we go...".

Surprisingly, it looked like David was try to excuse the mafia dudes behavior, suggesting that David knew him. "He's not that bad, you just caught him...uh...in a bad mood." Alex rolled his eyes a bit, thinking to himself: well, that's one way to put it. Looking back at David, who seemed to be extending some kind of a olive branch, all Alex could think about was being caught in a small room with both these two in a fist fight. Oh, wait. That's right, they got powers, too. His thoughts were broken when he heard his name being mentioned. "...this is Alex." He did not just mention my name in front of the angry mobster.... Yep, he did.

Alex couldn't do anything but give an awkward wave and a meek "Uhhh, hey". He was not liking the thought of going anywhere near "Dapper Don" over there, but he was kinda in front of the stairs. Thankfully, David seemed to signal the all clear with a glance back and tilt of his head. Hopefully this meant Alex wouldn't be waking up to Mr Ed anytime soon. In either case, it might help if he stopped watching old mob movies. Alex proceeded up the stairs, tilting his hat down and praying to God there wasn't a sudden hand grip on his shoulder. He lifted his view to David, who looked back at Alex with a question. "Alright, well that was fun. Wanna head to the party now?

Oh, gee. After this much fun, what's next? Yakuza versus the Triad? "Uhh.... sure, lets go." The two entered to the sound of a slow dance, and awkward became an understatement. Actually, it just got buried. Showing up stag to this kind of party was bad enough, but with another guy? Do the math. "Sure wish somebody told us to bring dates......." Alex's eyes scanned the masses, and spotted Surge.

Speak of the devil, and the blue haired girl will appear....

John scanned the room. He saw Tommy with Cat, and Luke with Danni. This was the first time he'd been to a party without a date. It felt wrong. There were a bunch of couples slow dancing in front of him and Alex. He looked over to Alex, back to the couples, and then back to Alex. "I'm not dancing with you." He kept his eyes on Alex for a few more moments, completely serious looking, until looking forwards again. "Aww shit Alex. I'd did't mean for this to be..well, like this." He scanned the room once more. Spotting a group of girls who weren't dancing with anyone, he dusted himself off and started heading in thieir direction. He stopped after a few steps and looked back to Alex. "Well? You coming? You must a lady killer." He started in the direction once more. "Are you really taking that loser with you? You have something planned right? Something that ends will this mansion becoming a smoldering pile of rubble maybe? Everyone in here fleeing in terror? Tripping this asshole in front of the girls and making him eat shit? Jesus David, you going soft on me? David, what would your father think?" David stopped in his tracks, starting to shake. Arcs of electricity started to form on his hand. He spotted an outlet. You son of a BITCH! His shaking started to become very noticable. Flashes of his father appeared in his mind. "No...no..not here...calm down...calm down." His whole body was now glowing from electricity, and was very visable in the dim-lit room. "And now David, we are going to get some power..." David was losing control of his body, and had to force his foot back to the ground when Freakshow tried to make him walk toward the outlet. "You know what? Fine, we won't walk over there. We'll make it come to us!" His arm started to raise and point towards the outlet. "No...no...stay in control...stay in control...." He started breathing slowly and deeply. Slowly, he took back control of his body, and the arcs went away. He shook it off, and looked around. Everyone around him was staring at him. "I'm uh...I'm fine." Everyone continued staring...judging."No, please, keep staring. Fucking great." He walked off somewhere into the crowd.

"I'm not dancing with you." It's because I'm blue, isn't it? Okay, on a less creepy subject, why did no one mention this? Alex could do nothing but eye the fellow mutants dancing with their "plus-ones". Okay, Union Jack is putting the moves on the missing Power Puff girl. The hit man is swinging with............ uhhhh, wow. My brain turned off for a second, where was I? He just stood there with his hands in his pocket, eyeing the punch bowl. "Aww shit Alex. I'd did't mean for this to be..well, like this." "Hey, no problem. I'm assuming no one told you either. If they did and you still brought me, well then we need to seriously talk about 'us'." Alex couldn't help but laugh slightly at that. It felt strange, being able to laugh with someone. Being able to tell a joke to someone. Hell, talking to someone.

The lights seemed pretty dim, obviously trying to "set the mood". All it did for Alex was make it a pain in the ass to see with his shades on. He turned away from David and slipped them into his jacket, turning back with his hat pulled down. It's probably dark enough in here to let me get away with some eye contact, for a small duration of course. Alex noticed David heading towards a group of ladies chatting amongst themselves, and hoped he wasn't about to invite him over. "Well? You coming?" Crap. "You must a lady killer." What gave me away? ".....Not as much as you might think. I'm going to..... uhhh.... head over to the snacks and stuff." Smooth. "I'll catch up." Real smooth.

David continued on his way, till something made him pause. His expression twisted into that of sheer hate, like someone just shot his dog. Whatever he was feeling, it was strong enough to make his whole body shake. His very being began to arc with plasmatic discharges, borderline giant bug-zapper. David muttered something under his breath, but it could've been next week's winning lotto numbers for all anyone cared. They were all too busy staring at him, as he motioned his hand towards a power socket. His hand was shaking like he was fighting his own movements, till finally something snapped him out of his trance. There was a small crowd around him by this point, despite his protests. "I'm uh...I'm fine........ No, please, keep staring. Fucking great."

David stormed off, away from the prying eyes. Alex didn't know what to do in these situations, but decided to follow him. "Hey, David. Wait a minute, you..... uhhh.... okay? I-I know how much of a douchebag question that is, but humor me." Alex tried to at least talk the matter through, but he could feel the gaze of onlookers. Not on him, no, on David. This was a cold, judgmental stare. The kind people give when they're making their minds up about someone. The kind Alex is use to receiving. Though, now they were on someone else. That..... that just pissed Alex off, as he snapped around to address the issue. "Hey! The FUCK you all lookin' at?! Back off!"

Alex spun back around, and was taken aback by himself. Whoa, did I just say that? Fuckin' A! He went to place a hand on David's shoulder, as one more arc of energy leaped from it. Every fiber, every atom, every molecule, every piece of Alex's body screamed at him: That Is Bad For You! His arm not only backed away but dove inside his body, sucking in his glove and jacket sleeve as well. Alex, upon realizing what happened, quickly reversed the process before anyone had time to notice. Trying a little more cautiously this time, Alex did his best to talk to him. "Uhh.... H-hey, I know this isn't the time or place, but if you...... God, I suck at this. Heh, I'm usually on the other end of these talks......."

Alex looked around, hoping the answer was lying around somewhere. He nervously scratched the back of his neck, before his once again saw the punch bowl. "Punch. Errr..... I mean, I'm going to get a drink. You want anything while I'm over there?" Please say yes so I'm not just standing over there like a moron.

David stormed through the crowd, feeling completely humiliated. This wasn't really something he ever really felt. Alex approached him soon afterwards. "Hey, David. Wait a minute, you..... uhhh.... okay? I-I know how much of a douchebag question that is, but humor me." David looked up at him, with a look of almost defeat. His mouth opened but words didn't come out. With that, Alex looked around at the crowd. "Hey! The FUCK you all lookin' at?! Back off!" Most the people looked away, but there are always a few assholes who don't. David looked up at Alex, a surprised look on his face. Alex put his arm on David and got a quick shock. It looked like his arm tensed a little or something, but he didn't pay attention. He looked into Alex's eyes with a new look, something he didn't really pay attention to before, a humble look. "Uhh.... H-hey, I know this isn't the time or place, but if you...... God, I suck at this. Heh, I'm usually on the other end of these talks......." David smiled a him and nodded. A few momens went by before Alex spoke up. "Punch. Errr..... I mean, I'm going to get a drink. You want anything while I'm over there?" "Uh...sure. I'll have a drink." Alex turned and started to walk. "Great...your date is getting you some punch...how cute..." I'm going to find a way to make you pay asshole. He looked up at Alex who hadn't gone too far yet. "Wait, Alex!" He turned around. "I...I just wanted to thank you. So, thanks." Just as he finished his thanks, David's peripherals caught Tommy punching some kid . Everyone looked over. The lights went out and the only sound that could be heard other than the gasping were people hitting the floor. "David...I know how we can light the room back up...it'll also give it a nice aroma of burning flesh. Not to mention it would probably make them all dance better than they are now, fucking losers." The lights came back on, but Tommy wasn't there. Alex looked to David. "Holy shit.... Well, massive amounts of awesomeness aside, wasn't that your buddy Tommy? What the hell was he thinking? Sh-.....should we try & find him?" "What the hell did he do? I heard something about a drug? Shit Tommy. C'mon, he's got to be on school grounds still. Let's sweep around the back." He paused for a second. "The lake outback. That's where we hung out before the party. If he isn't there then I have no idea, I doubt he's dumb enough to be in his dorm." David started pushing people out of the way, then running to the lake once he left the room.

"Uh...sure. I'll have a drink." Alex nodded and went off on his quest, knowing that this wasn't the answer to a damn thing. Still, it was something at least. He didn't get too far before hearing David behind him. "Wait, Alex!" Alex looked back, a little confused. "I...I just wanted to thank you. So, thanks." Wow..... Guess I'm not the only one after all. Not sure if that's good or not. There was an awkward moment before Alex started to answer, but as he did something in the crowd caught his attention.

There seemed to be a disturbance in the crowd, and everyone was focused on it. "Hey David, check it out. Looks like shits about to go down over there." The two neared the epicenter of the event, trying to see what the cause was. It looked as though the New X Men were accusing someone of trafficking. "Hey, isn't that.......?" That's when things got biblical. The guy seemed to become totally enveloped in sentient darkness. He wasn't a shadow, he was pure blackness. "Holy shit! Did you see th-.. what happened to the lights?" Every source of light in the room had the life sucked out of it, as chaos erupted within the impenetrable pitch black.

With sight no longer an option, Alex had to rely on his last two senses: touch and sound. A light from an electrical discharge pierced the vale above Alex's head for a fraction of a second, as Surge flew through the air. The resounding crashes of her and two other bodies sounded off through the darkness, and the ground shook from a massive tremor. Alex instinctively placed his shades back on as the lights, the real lights, came back up to show the aftermath. The living boulder removed his massive fist from a hole in the floorboards, and the other New X Men had just started too regain their composure.

"Holy shit...." Alex said, staring at the destruction from just a three second long event. "Well, massive amounts of awesomeness aside, wasn't that your buddy Tommy? What the hell was he thinking? Sh-.....should we try & find him?" Alex looked back to David, who seemed to be gauging the situation as well. "What the hell did he do? I heard something about a drug? Shit Tommy. C'mon, he's got to be on school grounds still. Let's sweep around the back." The two started, but David once again stopped. "The lake outback. That's where we hung out before the party. If he isn't there then I have no idea, I doubt he's dumb enough to be in his dorm." "The lake where you guys were swimming with that hot chick?" Hey! Focus, dumbass!

Alex followed as David plowed through the waves of bystanders, making his way out the back. Damn, bet he's kick ass at football.... It wasn't long before the duo were out of the room, with a course plotted straight for the back door.

X Laura Kinney (X-23) X

Laura shook her head violently at the older gentleman. She did not know him, but Cataleia called him "Dad." Laura was aware her father lived on the grounds so did not push the issue.

“No, absolutely not. We cannot break out of the school grounds, if we do we may not be able to re-enter and we cannot prove Mr Castellano’s innocence from out there. And if you want my help, which trust me you do, you will heed my warning.”

Laura looked down at the ground.

“Tommy I was asked to either confirm or disprove your involvement in the MGT smuggling. I can tell when people are lying and when they feign shock. You did neither back there, so I’m trying to complete my mission as thoroughly as possible. But you have not helped yourself, by attacking the New X-Men you have proven your own guilt for a crime you may have nothing to do with, you stupid boy! Did you forget we have telepaths? If those things were planted on you we would have known within the day, but now you have provoked them it is more likely they will not bother with the telepaths for at least a week, then you got the criminal damage and the violence. You are looking for a long stint in the cells...and before you ask, Yes we do have cells!”

Laura put her head in her hands, what the hell was she doing here?

The mission, it is your duty to fulfil the mission. But is this not beyond the call of duty?

Laura shook such thoughts out of her head.

“Look I was going to propose this to Emma if it turned out Tommy was not the MGT dealer, but now I think it would be best if...we enacted this plan...for the good of the mission. If we can catch this guy, gather definitive proof and if you Tommy play a role in bringing this guy down, it may be the best way to get you off the hook.”

Laura turned towards the little assembled group

“All of the suspects and drug users we have arrested so far have had their minds wiped of all knowledge, it would seem to be impossible to trace the dealers through the buyers memories. However whilst I was reading through your profile, Tommy, I found out something interesting about another student who lives on floor 2 room 28, he can use Clairsentience. He can sense the history of an object through touch, using his ability we may be able to get a lead and nail this guy. I think it would be for my missions best interest if we pursued this now, agreed? And think fast, we cannot linger here. It wont be long before they get fed up of searching on foot and use Cerebra. Then they'll find us almost immediately"

David and Alex arrived at the lake, Tommy in deep thought at the shore. David didn't say anything, he just walked to the other side of him. He knelt down next to Tommy, looking over the water. "Quick, while he's not paying attention, push him in and zap the living fuck out of him. Them we can claim a reward." After a few moments of silence, David started to speak. "Tommy. I need you to answer me. Did you do it? If you say no, I'll believe you, but I can't help you unless i know." Before Tommy even looked at him, Cat had arrived and put her fingers on his shoulder. After a little bit, some other guy showed up. He went from wolf to man. That was kinda cool. He suggested going tino the city. "Going into he city is a bad idea. First of all, if the teachers catch us here and we don't go quietly, we could be endangering innocients. Not to mention the people who are trying to kill our kind. The teachers will be down here any second."
