David Stillman

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

0 · 765 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...

Tommy stopped in his tracks after Laura spoke. Despite how much he hated to admit she had a point. He'd never be able to prove his innocence from the city and running would just make him look more guilty. No, he had to stay. He had to prove he was innocent. The group all came to a halt once they realized Tommy was no longer moving. His eyes flicked up and locked on to the group, addressing them all.

"God I never thought I'd be sayin this but Laura's right.... I can't go. I can't... If I'm gunna figure my way outta this. Figure out whose settin me up I gotta stay here. I gotta work this shit out."

Tommy paused with a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair before looking at the group again.

"Shit I never thought I'd have this many people havin my back... Not here. But hell if you all didn't just prove me wrong. I just... thanks ok?"

Tommy's mind began to work up a plan on how to work through this mystery and coming up with a simple, yet effective plan he looked at Laura as he handed her the pills.

"Here, take these to the student on the second floor. We can meet back up in the auditorium in two hours. I'm gunna track down my own lead."

Laura took the pills but was obviously unconvinced.

"We should stay together."

"We can cover more ground and get more done apart. We ain't got a lot of time, the quicker we figure this out the better. I know you hate me but trust me ok, at least for tonight. I'm gunna get a hold of the people who did this. Start at the bottom and work my way up to whoever's pullin the strings. I'll find out who set me up and make em pay."

Tommy vowed darkly.

Wow... it's almost like our own X Men team. Awes-........ is that Antonio Banderas? Alex and the rest were gathered by the lake, all in the aid of some guy Alex met not even half an hour ago. He couldn't be sure about his own opinion on this Tommy character and his innocence, but he seemed genuine. That, and it made sense. He looked like a guy that could be guilty of just about anything. Though, narcotics kinda went against the majority of the old mob rules. Still, he was dark, charismatic, aggressive, suave, and looked like a guy with connections. A perfect fall guy.

X-23 mentioned a student who could read an objects history, but Alex didn't have much faith in that. Alex paced back and forth, thinking and slowly growing more audible as he did. Till, finally he didn't even realize he was thinking out loud, a minor mumble albeit but it wouldn't matter to those with superb hearing.

"Whoever this jerk was, he'd be use to dealing with mutants with all kinds of powers. That baggie probably never saw anything else other than the inside of Tommy's pocket, or at least that's what it'd feel like. More so if this guy was a telepath like Mrs. Frost, who could put a telepathic block on nearly anything. A person, a place, a thought, even an object like this. Those pills would be a pretty dead end, at least from a psychokenetic standpoint." He placed one hand on his chin, while the other was firmly behind his back detective style. "Smell might be an option, as not many people would think of that."

He paused for a moment, letting out an annoyed sigh. "Although.... I suppose if you live in a house with Wolverine and his infamous sense of smell long enough, you'd take precautions. No, no, no. The best way I can think of is figuring out how he runs his operation. These are pills, which means they take much more work to produce than your average trailer park meth lab. Not to mention the smell of whatever chemicals he uses would have the X Men beating down his door in record time. So that means he's likely producing this crap outside the school grounds. Which......" He posture began to perk up, feeling as though he was onto something.

"Which means that whatever he can do, it'd involve transporting items. He couldn't just be invisible, since I'm pretty sure the mansion he equipped with thermal cameras for just such a case. A jumper maybe? No, cause then how'd it get on Tommy? Jumpers are pretty noticeable. Hmmm, maybe a jumper transports the shipments in, and an invisible guy moves the product once inside? That might explain how the pills got planted. Either way.... I'm pretty sure this would take multiple mutants. The main thing to look for would be a guy with a good smuggling power, but who doesn't look suspicious. Not squeaky clean, but perfectly normal. Yep, I just narrowed it down a lot."

Alex pinched the bridge of his noise, before he turned and saw that he'd drawn some attention to himself. "I........ was thinking aloud, wasn't I?" Yeah, yeah you were. Feeling a little embarrassed with himself, he stepped back and hoped someone else would speak. Not very likely, though. "So..... uhhh.... yeah. That's just my theory..... I'll shut up now."

"I'll find out who set me up and make em pay." David watched Tommy closely. "Don't do anything stupid Tommy, you hurt anyone without something backing up your reasoning, you're just in a deeper pile of shit. I know this might sound a little obvious Tommy, but do you have any enemies here? Anyone who doesn't like you?" He scratched his head for a minute and you could almost see a light bulb appear above his head. "Or anyone who is really close to you...someone who could predict your every move. Someone who you'd never expect, and could get close enough to plant the drugs on you without you even thinking about it.' He was now looking directly at Cat. "We should be considering every option here. All of us should be considered suspects until proven otherwise. Don't need someone slipping right under our radar, being one step ahead of us." He looked at Tommy again. 'You know, I bet it was Tracey. Lets give him a little shock therapy and see what he knows..." Ya...good idea. While we are at it, let's just kill everyone on school grounds. "That is probably the best idea that you've ever had in your life."

He heard Alex going about something. "So..... uhhh.... yeah. That's just my theory..... I'll shut up now." "Alright then. Some people we may want to question first could be that kid Tommy yelled at on the stairs...and the kid he punched. Tommy, if you bumped into anyone at the dance, now would be a good time to remember. If the staff catch you then you're probably going to be held in one of those cells, and if it does happen, we will continue our investigation. I'll go find that kid from the stairwell, if anyone want to accompany me, go ahead. Someone should find the kid from the dance that Tommy punched. Tommy I don't know what your lead is, but you go ahead and follow it."

Tommy turned as David spoke. Warning him to make and brash decisions. He was about to agree with him when he caught his line of sight. David was asking him if he had any enemies which was probably a list as long as his arms. Then he asked if anyone close to him could be to blame. Davids gaze rested on cat. It took every ounce of restraint not to lay David out right there. Tommy crossed the distance between him and David and leveled his gaze with his, standing between him and Cat.

"You can stop right there. We're not accusing her. That's not even an option. Way I see it the only person I can trust is Kitty. The rest of you are strangers compared to her."

Tommy growled not liking for one second the idea of David accusing Cat of betraying him. It took a few tense seconds before Tommy took a step back with a sigh.

"Sorry chief... didn't mean to bite your damn head off... Listen that lead I mentioned is that guy I jawed on the dance floor. I'll start there."

Tommy took a few steps away before pausing and calling over his shoulder.

"Don't worry I won't kill him.... and thanks guys."

With that he dissapeared into the night. Now little more than a shadow Castellano raced back to the mansion looking for answers.

"Whatever you say, Miss Kinney." Esteban smiled softly and took a step back, clasping his hands behind his back. He let them all speak amongst one another, paying particular attention to a young man that seemed to be mumbling something to himself, working out the case on his own.

"Whoever this jerk was, he'd be use to dealing with mutants with all kinds of powers. That baggie probably never saw anything else other than the inside of Tommy's pocket, or at least that's what it'd feel like. More so if this guy was a telepath like Mrs. Frost, who could put a telepathic block on nearly anything. A person, a place, a thought, even an object like this.

Alex pinched the bridge of his noise, before he turned and saw that he'd drawn some attention to himself. "I........ was thinking aloud, wasn't I?" Yeah, yeah you were. Feeling a little embarrassed with himself, he stepped back and hoped someone else would speak. Not very likely, though. "So..... uhhh.... yeah. That's just my theory..... I'll shut up now."

Esteban said nothing; He merely smiled to himself as he took a few steps back into the shadows. It seemed that the others found themselves...preoccupied at the comment of one Mister David Stillman.

"Or anyone who is really close to you...someone who could predict your every move. Someone who you'd never expect, and could get close enough to plant the drugs on you without you even thinking about it.' He was now looking directly at Cat. "We should be considering every option here. All of us should be considered suspects until proven otherwise. Don't need someone slipping right under our radar, being one step ahead of us."

Tommy spoke in Cat's defense before anyone else, but Cataleia had already hitched up the left side of her dress to reveal an assortment of rainbow colored kunai; One of which she drew so fast and put the blade at David's throat that you might not have seen it if you weren't paying attention. "If you ever accuse me of some bullshit like that again - It'll be the last thing you ever do." Her soft blue glow had become red now. It normally didn't take much for Cat to get worked up in the blink of an eye like that - One of the surefire ways to do that would to accuse her of betrayal. When Tommy had decided to leave and find the guy from the dance floor, she debated following after him – He could handle himself, but he still shouldn’t go alone. She sighed and took a stand next to Laura, sheathing her blade. “Welp. Laura – I’ll go find the Clairsentient. No offense, but you scare people.” She filched the baggie from the woman and moved past the others, stopping to glance at her father who only offered a cryptic smile. “You know something, don’t you?” She glared at the man.

“I always know something, don’t I?”

“Spill it.”

“Not my place.”

“Seriously?”

“I have faith in you all.” With that, the man kissed his daughter’s brow before making his way into the bushes that seemed to part as he moved towards them. Cataleia shook her head and looked back at Laura and the others. “Soo
Not sure what you guys plan to do
Like follow me
or do your own little thing. But I’m sure you’ll need a light.” She held up her right hand that was empty, four fingers raised. Small balls of white light appeared at each tip and she blew on them gently. The orbs of light light floated over to each person and brightened above their heads, moving each time they did. “So – That’ll last about an hour.” With a nod, she began her trek up to the mansion, taking a deep breath. This was all bullshit.

X Laura Kinney X

“Fine” She said to the group as Tommy vanished into the darkness. She looked across at Alex “If they have put some kind of block on this student Clairsentience, then we’re in trouble. But it’s the only lead we’ve got so I’m utilizing it. And let’s not to kill each other” She said staring directly at Cataleia “That would most counterproductive.”

She took a step forward carefully observing the grounds. There were a few people poking around but nothing that couldn’t be easily avoided. “Whoever wants to come with me you’re welcome. Just don’t do anything stupid.” With that Laura took off at a brisk pace.

The grounds were easily navigated without running into trouble and once inside the other students barely took notice of the group. All was going smoothly until they reached the entrance to the dorms. Hellion and Rockslide were stood there, they must have been posted in order to stop anyone leaving or entering. They eyed the large group with suspicion as they approached and Laura quickly stood forward to assume her role of talking.

“Laura, hey...” Santo scratched his head “Who the hell are all these guys?”

“They’re acquaintances of our little friend back there. They’ve been questioned...they’ve been most helpful...I’m to escort them back to their dorms.” Laura looked back at them as if requesting some confirmation.

“They’ve been most helpful?” Julian asked with growing suspicion. Praise was not something Laura gave out, and Julian knew it.

“Yes they have.” Laura said more sternly this time “Now can I get on with it or you going to cause a fuss?”

Julian immediately backed off, throwing his hands in the air. “Alright Laura, it’s all good. Go on in. Just keep things quiet.”

“Obviously” Laura said coolly as she entered the dorms. And just like that it had happened again, she had lied to her friends, just like she had predicted.

It didn’t take long from there to reach the students room. Laura knocked quietly but continually until he reached the door. Luke answered still without his top, his eyes bloodshot and voice hoarse.

“H-Hello? What the hells going on now?”

Alex watched the blade being held at David's throat, slowly placing his hands up in protest. "Whoa wait a second here....." Thankfully, Cataleia's intentions were more of a not-so-subtle warning, rather than actual hostile intent. "Uhhh.... look, I don't want to end up on the business end of those little knife things personally, but David does have a point. It could be any of his, and yes, that includes a dweeb like me." Tommy took off in a bolt of shadow, and it'd seemed that Laura and Cat were each heading the same direction. Alex decided to tag along, following the chick with knives and a short fuse and the Wolverine clone. This.... may have been a bad move.

Laura, Cat, and David were a good bit ahead of Alex, despite his efforts to keep up, before they were finally stopped by two other X Men. Alex didn't have a lot of info on the New X Men, but knew enough about there reported abilities. Unfortunately, he couldn't usually place their names with their faces, so he could only recognize the one called Rock Slide. Either way, Alex knew enough to let Laura do the talking. When the one he remembered being with Surge started to question Laura's story, Alex got a little uneasy. Though, through a tone of voice that seemed to say "question me and die", Laura was able to get the group by the "intrepid" guards.

With a short, unseen sprint, they found the desired dorm room of the supposed clairsentient. When a topless guy answered, eyes red from likely just being woke up by the rappings against his door, Alex's faith in the plan sank just that much more. Hope I'm wrong and this isn't a complete waste of time. Then again, still worth a shot, I guess. It took Alex a second to realize that this guy was "Captain America" from the hallway, as he answered with a exhausted voice. “H-Hello? What the hells going on now?” The opportunity was just too good for Alex to pass up. "Publishers Clearing House." After some brief laughter, Alex looks to Laura and her disapproving scowl. His head lowers, adjusting his hat as he quietly mutters "Sorry, had to."

"You can stop right there. We're not accusing her. That's not even an option. Way I see it the only person I can trust is Kitty. The rest of you are strangers compared to her." Tommy took a second to compose himself. Sorry chief... didn't mean to bite your damn head off... Listen that lead I mentioned is that guy I jawed on the dance floor. I'll start there." With that Tommy left, heading to the mansion. David looked over the lake. Alright, I'll just look through the dorms for anything suspicous and-. As he turned back to the group, a knife was held to his throat. Cat told him that if he ever accused her again, that she would end him. He had a surprised...yet annoyed face. "David...this is where you send a current through the blade and into her. Her pretty little head will pop like a zit, and the body will twitch on the floor. It'll teach her a lesson." "You know, your threats aren't helping anyone here, especially not Tommy. So why don't you calm down and think about how threatening new students is just sinking you in deeper shit." She put the blade away and headed back to the mansionwith the group. David followed so that he'd be let back into the dorms, and then slipped away from them.

He was searching through the hallways for any suspicous activity. After a little bit he spotted some guy in a long coat, looking almost overly suspicous. Alright, let's see what he's up to. The guy would periodically look back over his shoulder, to which David would duck behind cover, mainly corners. Eventually the guy did some kind of secret knock on a door, and was let in. David approached quickly, putting his ear on the door. "Great, you made it! Good thing you didn't get caught, we'd be in loads of trouble. Did you bring...you know...it? At that David opened the door, which wasn't locked. He ran through and grabbed the guy with the coat by the collar and slammed him into the wall. "Where are the drugs? Who's supply-" The guy had sunglasses and a hood overing him, and now the sunglasses fell of. This revealed the guy to be a she...and the contraband was really...well, something for her boyfriend. He put her down immediately. The guy was staring at David. "What the fuck are you doing? Get out!' "I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean.." And he dashed out the door. He heard a slam coming from just around the corner. Turning the corner, he saw a kid at the end of the hallway being restrained against the wall by...something. Then Tommy came into view. You're shitting me...he's going to kill that kid. David rushed forward towards them. He noticed the blood on te kid, which didn't look too pretty. "You got any idea what I can do to you, you fucking junkie trash?! You better realize real quick who you need to be afraid of Crawley!" "Tommy, what the fuck are you doing? Look at him, you're going to kill him! You need to let go of him, he's had enough and I don't think he is going anywhere."

Tommy Castellano had murder in mind. This guy may not be the root of his problems but he was a part of it. He was the first stone that started the landslide. A final tendril formed behind Tommy and pressed against Crawley's forehead as the junkie cried in agony and terror. Just before the shadow construct peirced his skull David appeared, running down the hall.

"Tommy, what the fuck are you doing? Look at him, you're going to kill him! You need to let go of him, he's had enough and I don't think he is going anywhere."

Tommy's gaze flicked to him for a moment but quickly turning back. Castellano's entire being screamed at him to kill this prick. Anywhere else he would have been in a oil barrel getting filled in with cement or knifed in an old wareshouse by some of Tommy's men. Tommy's sighed and his dark aura retreated, relasing Crawley and letting him drop to the floor.

"Look's like it's your lucky day Crawley... Might wanna thank David for this."

Crawley looked up with a weak, pained expression but muttered out a weary thanky you to David for his intervention. Soon as he was done Tommy rolled him on to his back by casually shoving him with his foot. Tommy loomed over him with a restrained yet still dangerous expression.

"Whose this Jason guy? He the dealer?"

Crawley shook his head weakly.

"N-no... I-I mean I d-don't think so. I t-think he works for him."

"Works for who?"

Crawley head lulled as the blood loss and pain was making it difficult for him to remain concious.

"I don't know man... I've never met him. I usually just buy off Jason or whoever he tells me is selling."

"Like me?"

Tommy growled standing over him.

Danni watched with fright, as the boy was caught by the shadows and pinned against a nearby wall, which wasn't too far from where she was actually. The gal couldn't quite follow what this was all about, only that Mr. Noir had a fixed hatred for this... Crowley? Crawley? Something about setting him up for illegal activities.

A yell snapped Danni out of her train of thoughts. W-what? Had something happened? Seemed like the jock, who she remembered was one of the people she saw by the stairs last night, prevented this 'Tommy' person from drilling through someone's head. He had let go of the broken sod, who dropped on the floor like a lifeless ragdoll. He wasn't dead, was he?

“Whose this Jason guy? He the dealer?”

D-dealer? Had she stumbled onto some scam for drugs? Danni approached the situation but still kept her silence, waiting for this interrogation to blow over...

Tommy reached down and grabbed two handfulls of Crowley's shirt collar before hefting him off the ground and holding him a hairs breath from his face.

"Where can I find him?"

Tommy asked with a growl.

"I-I'm not sure where his room is man, I s-swear! B-But I can usually find him hanging around the auditorium. That's where he likes to hang out and m-make meetings with b-buyers."

Tommy glared into his eyes, looking for any hint of a lie. Not seeing anything he let him go, allowing him to drop to the ground with a groan of pain.

"I don't wanna see you again Crowley, you hear me? Make like a ghost or I'll turn you into one."

Crowley nodded obediently before Tommy turned to David.

"I'm headed to the auditorium man. Gunna get to the top of this thing. If Jason ain't the guy then he'll know who is. You're welcome to come along, if not I understand. I don't want any of you getting blood on their hands for me."

Tommy gave David a quick nod before beginning his walk to the auditorium.

"You know, this might be a little more interesting if you let him do his job without being a nosey bitch. That, or you could let me help him, we'll all get answers a lot faster and it'll be like putting trash in an incinerator." No, it isn't our job to kill people. We are here to clear his name, and that's it. After this I'm going to learn how to shut you up for good. With that, David continued following Tommy.

Danni O'byrne

Danni just stood there for what felt like an eternity, even though the two blokes had left the halls to continue their... Whatever it was. The gal just wanted a minute to asses the whole event that had unfolded before her. Well... Asses, it was more akin to forming her own opinion on what she knew. Danni still didn't feel comfortable if Mr. Noir was around, though. The power he possessed, it was just... Unnerving.

But that wasn't what she was deciding on. Not directly, anyway. Why was that guy violently interrogated? There was something about a framing, and dealing. Danni did recall the formally-dressed guy asking about who framed him. Had he been accused for something that he didn't do?The girl grew more curious, but wasn't exactly fond of chasing a guy she one: Didn't even like in the first place, and two: Was deathly afraid of.

“Ooooh..... Dammit.” With her mind made up, Danni ran after the two people she thought never to approach in any way other than running passed. “H-hey, wait up!” It was a stupid, stupid idea in her mind, but if there's anything Danni hates it is wrongly accusing someone. Hating him or no, best to help a fellow mutant out of a sticky situation...

Tommy reached the auditorium with David in tow. Castellano unsure of how he actually felt having Stillman at his back. He'd already proven unwilling to allow Tommy to end someones life and the heir to the Castellano Crime family that he may become a liability if their quarry left them no choice. If this dealer forced their hand would David be able to go to that place, or would he hesitate? They would soon find out as Tommy pressed against the door allowing the pair to enter the darkness of the auditorium. The room was coated in darkness, all but a single beam of light shined out onto the stage. Their stood a scrawny almost gnarled young man with pale skin and long oil like greasy black hair. The teen had raggedy old clothes that seemed to hang off his skeletal frame as if in tatters. He stood in stark contrast to Tommy who was taller, well muscled with well groomed hair and features and expensive fashionable apparel. Slight smirk etched it's way onto the raggedy teens face as he stood there in the light of the stage light.

"Tommy Castellano... I heard you've been busy. I wondered when you would find me."
