Introduction
Roughly twenty three years ago there was an accident at a top secret military facility hidden under the sands of the Nevada desert. The goal behind this project was simple. Use chemicals to manipulate a certain gene that exists with all humans, what they called the X Gene, to create super soldiers. They believed this particular gene held the key to all genetic mutations found in humanity, both good and bad. Test subjects ranged from soldiers who had volunteered, to prisoners on death row who wouldn't be missed. The subjects would be injected with a special chemical that was designed to target this x gene and stimulate it into creating a mutation.
Some of the test subjects experienced no mutations, some were suddenly riddled with tumors, or developed late stage cancer over night. The project was almost scrapped until one of the subjects developed super strength. Another was found to be immune to poisons, another could catch things on fire with a touch. The project was deemed a success after years of work. Things were going well until one night one of the subjects being held against their will decided he was ready to go home.
Through undisclosed means this subject managed to break out of the facility, but before leaving he set off an explosion that destroyed the canisters of the chemical used on all the subjects. All he wanted was to be rid of the stuff, but instead he accidentally caused the chemical to rise up into the clouds, and the next day it rained down over a few small towns and cities near the facility. When the higher ups learned of what had happened they sent men to find the escaped subject and ran tests on the affected towns. As far as their data told them, there was no sign of mutation in anyone, and so everything was covered up, hidden away, the facility abandoned.
Roughly fifteen years after the explosion and the chemical rain the children born of the people who had been caught out in that rain began developing mutations, but without many of the side effects of the test subjects. It was almost as if their mutations had occurred naturally, and in some ways they did.
Over the next few years the military learned of these young people with incredible powers and abilities, and quickly putting two and two together, they created a task force assigned with the job of rounding all the mutants up and bringing them back to the newly restored facility. As you can imagine, they put up quite a fight. Eventually a leader emerged from among the mutants, a man named Romeo Margrave. Taking charge after learning that his own father was in charge of overseeing the entire X Gene project, he eventually defeated the man and, together with other test subjects and mutants, formed a secret compound where their kind would be relatively safe. The compound was kept hidden by the ability of a psychic among them who could create perfect illusions, making it seem like nothing more than flat desert to anyone who looked upon it.
Five years have passed since then.
Romeo has been the leader of the mutants during this time, but another powerful mutant has been trying to take that leadership from him, saying that their kind deserves more than this. That it is time the normal humans learned of their existence. He wants a revolution, but Romeo refuses to be a part of it. This dispute has begun to fracture the group. Some of them want to leave things the way they are and avoid any kind of conflict, while others want to let the world know what had happened. This fracturing and arguing over ideas threatens to split the group apart and could potentially spell disaster for all mutants.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 7 authors
Fran would block Franky's blows each shock weakened her but also pissed her off and so as he broke his force slight as he talked and attack at the same time she would frown, hissing, her fangs shown as he dodged his next attack. ''You talk too much.'' Was all she would say with a sigh of annoyance then she'd twist herself, her upper body turning away from Franky, her chin just missing the ground as she pulled in the foot that was in the air by now, turning to Franky's chest then she'd push it back out at Franky's chest, a satisfied grin appeared as her ears twitched to the sound of sizzling on Franky's chest, burning it but most importantly the sound of his diagram spasming as the force of the kick not once pushed him back but winded him.
She'd then pull her foot back in, and roll not away but around to the back of Christina, wrapping her arms across her chest, the wrists close to her neck, she squeezed the air from Christina's chest causing her to become suffocated and she would look at Franky as he would stumble back. ''Your over confidence will cause this girl great pain..'' She'd tell him as suddenly from light scars, much like slits on her wrists pushed out black scorpion tails with stingers on them, her crimson blood dripped on Christina's shoulders as the slits were forced open, only causing Fran a little discomfort. The stingers then jabbed into both of the sides of Christina's neck, around the area instantly swelled and went into a bluish red bruise like colour as she injected her venom into Christina's veins, the venom would smell like flowers unusually.
Christina would instantly feel burning, screaming in agony, as she went limp from being paralyzed Fran caught her instead of letting her to drop and she careful laid her down, moving her head so Christina's eyes were looking right at Franky, tearing rolling onto the dry, boiling lightly sanded barren ground. Christina's lips would go blue, matching Fran's natural tint to her own lips and she would turn to Franky and point at Christina. ''This is what you done. Deal with it.'' She would then burst into flames again, running away from Christina and Franky, leaping into the air to dodge any attempt of Romeo stopping her advance towards the compound.
She would finally set her eyes on Jamie, that was lying on her stomach, obviously watching her with curiosity, she would admit, she was charmed by the girl's some what awe over her so as she started to run as her, she smiled sweetly at her despite the face that her glowing red snake eyes were harsh and predatory.
But as she was getting closer to her another person got her attention and she stopped dead in her tracks, only a easy view away from Jamie, her flaming body dissipated as she set her eyes on Felix at first she tilted her head, obviously confused and she would take in his scent, sense familiarity between them that suddenly made her feel complete wanton. This actively panicked her as well as confuse her more.
She would start to pace back and forth, hissing, holding the sides of her face, stomping her foot that cracked the ground from the force. She would scratch at the sides of her face, drawing her own blood as she got more distressed and the lust heightened to a overwhelming extent that as her self inflicted wounds healed she started to growl in frustration turning to Felix sharpily, her blood on the sides of her face only showing the existence of her previous injuries and hr claws would be stained with the same blood.
She would then start running at Felix, growling in frustration to the point that is was a raged scream as she ran at him extremely fast showing how fat she really could go if she wanted something that bad enough and the closer she got the more lustful she got making her frustration and confusion kick up a notch...
Felix watched Christine transform and... literally eat flames. That was a strange sight, but not one that shocked him quite a bit. What did shock him, pun intended, was Franky getting in so close to fight. It was quite ironic, Fran and Frank fighting, quite ironic indeed.
That's when he noticed that the mutant actually seemed to be getting angrier, and this slapped Felix's smile right off of his face. He should have jumped in right there and then, but he couldn't. He was still fatigued and he was slowly regaining his energy through burning calories. He probably should have saved his calories for later, but he had to get into the action as soon as he could.
The kick to Frank's chest made him cringe and start having pure unadulterated rage boil up inside him. The organic armor he had put over himself weighed him down, but getting rid of it would make him pass out then and there. A false hope creeped up on him when he saw Fran back away from Frank, but this hope was utterly crushed after he saw what Fran did to Christina. He should have never let Christina go, he shouldn't have let any of them go. He watched in agony as Fran injected what was probably posion into Christina. Felix felt slight relief at Fran laying Christina down, but not much.
He noticed where she was going next; to Jamie. He tried moving his body, and managed to start regaining most of his energy, but he still couldn't fight. A few more seconds, that was all he needed. He was once again filled with relief when Fran stopped going towards Jamison and went towards him instead.
Something was wrong, but he couldn't quite wrap his head around it until Fran came closer. He didn't think anything of the self-infliction, other than the fact that it was probably a territorial sort of thing.
His body finally responded to his commands when she started running and adrenaline filled his veins. He felt rage and something else bubbling up, but he couldn't really worry about that at the moment. He quickly picked up the fire extinguisher, cut a hole in it, and threw it at the floor. He wanted to aim for her, but he wasn't used to the weight of his armor.
He decided to simply run in and fight, it was all he could do, but he didn't fight barbarously. He began by doing something that would cause quite a bit of pain to him and tear up his nice clothes, sending tendrils out from his back. He could only muster four at the time, which he used in conjunction with his hands to attack sluggishly from six directions. He didn't have high hopes and he was quite frankly, tired from burning too much calories.

Christine Laid there in excruciating pain for a couple of minutes still kinda hypnotized by the mutants ruby red eyes. In those couple of minutes she watched as Fran made her way over to where Jamie and Felix were. Christine wanted to get up, she wanted to tear her to shreds with her claws. With each step Fran made closer to her two friends Christine's anger would only rise and she started to notice she could move her fingers. The paralysis was wearing off.
Christine could now move but barely, she turned over slowly onto her stomach clenching her teeth enduring the agonizing pain. Her Stomach felt as if it was on fire and if someone had used it as a punching bag. She managed to push herself onto her hands and knees holding her stomach with one hand her body trembling from the pain. "ugh...D-Damn it.. M-Move Christine..ngh.." At that moment Christine noticed that Levi had started to slither towards Fran in a menacing manner.
Christine reached her hand out to the snake. "L-Levi come back! D-Don't!...Ngh!" as fast as she moved her hand from her stomach she put it back clutching it tighter. Christine did not want anything to happen to Levi, but she then noticed that the snake act's just like her, attacks the first person who hurts her loved ones. Christine tried to get closer only crawling a few feet before stopping and just holding her stomach because she couldn't move anymore. She just stared at Fran Angrily as she paced back and forth.

Fran would turn to the snake that suddenly leap at her, fangs retracted and what seemed like she was going to slap it away she actually caught it, smiling and put it down before she stumbled back her calm self fading away only to turn to Felix, her eyes flashed a brighter red to the point that when she continue to run, even in the light of the hot day a line of red flowed from them.
She'd leap up, dodging the sad attempt to attack her with the fire extinguisher with ease and as her and Felix were about to about to collide she crouch dodging the black tendrils, lifting Felix from his feet up with such force that she would of broke one of his kneecaps just by her shoulder slamming into it then lodging it up as she lifted from the ground into the air and with another push by putting her long slender legs on Felix's chest she had successfully attempted to jump further into the sky by using Felix's armored chest cavity as a spring board only it was no spring board and the sides of his ribs would fracture from the force.
As she flew up like a phoenix, reaching the cooler air, looking down at Felix like the moment was slowly down as he instead plummeted to the ground, she only smiled with liking to the injuries she gave him and one of seductive nature. As Felix fell at a alarming speed and force, his tendrils spiraled up to her and she crossed her arms onto her chest only to wave them back out like a flap of wings but instead of wings a wall of flames rumbled towards the tendrils burning them, making some boil then explode as others burnt to charcoal, the force of the fire making their compacted and stiffened form break away into ash.
She would then start plummeting down as she sharped her form to that she would catch up to Felix flying straight through the wall of fire as he fell from the height. In catching up to him, she'd grab hold of him from the front of his armor, her feet on his chest only confirming that yes, as they fell from this height she was going to focus the pressure of the fall on his armored chest.
But during this fast falling moment she'd look into his eyes, her hair waving around frantically as was his, hers was dark brown with highlights of red while his was red all over. Her snake eyes, glowing ever crimson blinked and she would put her lips to his neck lick it then kiss it and as she parted away then slam of his chest would come, cracking the sides of his ribs from a fracture to a break, making the armor sink into his chest a little, his blood would be sprayed onto her face and down to her chest.
The ground around them had also sunk harshly, broken apart with this suddenly abuse, making a vibration and a audible cross between a thump and a metallic crashing sound that echoed. She would just stand on his chest still holding on his now broken armored chest then she'd split her legs apart and sit on top of Felix, her eyes never leaving his but her flames around her died down and her birthmark and eyes stopped glowing red but golden and a grin appeared, showing her fangs.
She'd now put her hands on Felix's throat and instead of start strangling him she slowly dug her claws into the sides of his neck all the while tilting her head with the unnerving grin of enjoyment over her blueish red lips. She'd feel his blood run through her fingers and around his head, causing two small puddles at both sides of him that slowly connected into one then she'd slice up, her starting point the deepest where as when she continued from the sides of his neck to the front of his neck the clawing lightened and she brings her lips to his neck and laps at the blood all the while parting the armor from chest and clawing into it...slowly, again starting deep then lightened up as she reached his stomach.
She would lap his blood up a little more then look at his chest and a small laugh came from her before she suddenly rested the side of her face on his badly sliced open chest, only adding the blood collection around them both only it was solely Felix's blood that ran into the cracks of the some what ditch creating a pool of blood around them but spreading out like delicate twigs on a tree branch. She would as this time have her hands on his stomach, resting herself on him as she felt his heart beat she gave out a small laughter once more...

Christine watched in horror as she watched Felix get beaten around like a rag doll. By now her blood was boiling... Literally, the few drops of frans blood that fell onto her shoulders was now bubbling and evaporating. She dug her claws In to the hot grany sand feeling useless. Christine took a deep breath her more predetor "Wolf" instincts taking over as she fought the pain pushing herself to her feet. Clutching her stomach she began to walk slowly closer and closer to Felix and Fran.
Even though Christine wasn't using any of her fire powers just yet, her skin was still hot enough to give someone third degree burns. Her burning orange eyes seemed full of anger yet distint, her k9's were sticking out. Christine had trained her flames to not burn what she did not want to burn. Her body still trembling from the pain and the slightest push could knock her down, but that did not stop her from advancing closer. Her foot steps were slow and she was stumbling alot but that did not stop her.
When she got close enough to Levi the snake quickly slithered up her leg,side, then arm. It wrapped itself around her free arm the other still clutching her stomach. When Christine would breath out smoke was visible coming out of her nose, she was trying hard to keep under control as she now stood I front of Fran and Felix. "...."

His doubts were made reality when she dodged his attack with ease. He didn't expect her to be that good at dodging blows. The pain of his kneecap breaking wasn't as painful as he imagined it, in fact, it was sort of enjoyable. He didn't even have to do anything to distract the girl from his friends, she distracted herself.
His chest area was the only part of the body that really worried him, for reasons that he would not dispense. He watched her fly up like a phoenix, and laughed. He actually laughed hoarsely, but not nervously.
He then noticed that he was also in the air, plummeting down in fact, but he didn't really worry. He enjoyed being on the ground more after all. The thing that made him cringe was the burning of his tendrils, that hurt, a lot. He had more nerves in his tendrils than in his body, which to be honest, was a flaw on his part. A bit of the ash mixed with his blood, but he ignored it. Now wasn't the time to stand up.
Felix smiled a smile that said, 'I know something you don't'. The pain itself was bearable, he was after all, conditioned to it. The damage wouldn't harm him permanently as long as she didn't aim for his achilles heel.
That was when she grabbed onto him and put her feet on his chest, which meant that his armor was to be long gone. The action that surprised him the most was her... kissing his neck? He didn't have time to think over the reason as he was slammed into the ground. He felt his ribs break, but thought that was the least of his worries.
He felt her hands on his throat and noticed the pain of having claws dig into the side of his neck, he couldn't simply ignore it, so he decided to enjoy it instead. It wasn't the smart of strong that survived, it was the one who could adapt. He couldn't talk that well anymore, seeing as his neck was sliced, but he could still laugh, and laugh he did. It wasn't particularly funny, but it reminded him of a time he was a child. A time when he burned down a kid's house on accident. Then again, the irony was funny.
He decided he would have the last laugh and began repairing his neck. He would need his neck to speak after all. It took a few minutes, but he ended up doing it, "Is this how you treat all boys you meet or am I special?" It was a question with a lot of meaning behind it. It was more than a simple taunt. He didn't fear her, and that question showed that. He was playing with her or attempting to at least, he couldn't do it efficiently without knowing her.
Felix stopped talking and decided that he wouldn't be able to stand up for a while or do much for that matter, but he didn't really care. He just hoped that he wouldn't be buried, closed his eyes, and fell into a short hibernation. His body began repairing itself by getting rid of the armor, and slowly closing internal wounds. It would take a bit of time to recover fully, but he would do it as long as was unhindered.

Jamison wouldn't have moved either way, but the girl got distracted with someone else. She carefully pulled herself up off the ground and stood carefully, her eyes fixing on the snake like woman. She took a deep breath, knowing everyone was going to be okay. It just seemed like one of those moments, those feelings one get's in the pit of her stomach. They should be fine. But what did this woman want? Why was she attacking her family? Why them? So many questions flooded through her mind and for a moment, she was easily distracted. She shook those thoughts away and stared at the snake like woman, slowly moving forward.
"Have you ever heard the phrase, your days are numbered?" She asked, her eyes now fixed on the woman in front of her. She was calm now, perfectly calm and...collected. One would never have suspected that she had a headache before, or that her mind worked at a thousand minutes per hour. Of course, that was a slight exaggeration, slight but true. "Well, now you have. Your days are numbered, and each time you lay a hand on one of my members of my family, a day is gone. I suggest you leave."
Jamison's beanie was off her head, for once, it was laying on the floor and the girl's hair blew freely in the breeze. Her feet were planted and chest moved as she breathed in, so calmly and so focused. Her eyes fixed on the woman's, her pupils dialted slightly and there it was, the connection.
For most people, it usually felt like a string right between the eyes or a paralysis throughout the body when she has their mind in her control. Right now, she wasn't going to do anything dangerous. She just wanted the woman to take a step back, just move a few paces away. And she was planning on it.
"Move back." Her voice was loud, but still settled and firm. She stared at the woman, directly in her eyes and said once more. "Move. Back."
"Have you ever heard the phrase, your days are numbered?" She asked, her eyes now fixed on the woman in front of her. She was calm now, perfectly calm and...collected. One would never have suspected that she had a headache before, or that her mind worked at a thousand minutes per hour. Of course, that was a slight exaggeration, slight but true. "Well, now you have. Your days are numbered, and each time you lay a hand on one of my members of my family, a day is gone. I suggest you leave."
Jamison's beanie was off her head, for once, it was laying on the floor and the girl's hair blew freely in the breeze. Her feet were planted and chest moved as she breathed in, so calmly and so focused. Her eyes fixed on the woman's, her pupils dialted slightly and there it was, the connection.
For most people, it usually felt like a string right between the eyes or a paralysis throughout the body when she has their mind in her control. Right now, she wasn't going to do anything dangerous. She just wanted the woman to take a step back, just move a few paces away. And she was planning on it.
"Move back." Her voice was loud, but still settled and firm. She stared at the woman, directly in her eyes and said once more. "Move. Back."
Romeo stood back and watched as the new mutant fought with his friends. Franky was being as hotheaded as ever, and it seemed so was Christine, literally. He had seen her eat fire like that on a few rare occasions, but it still surprised him every time. He might be able to do it as well, but he wouldn't be walking around as easily as her afterwards. For the time being it seemed like it was an even match, up until the few face got away from Franky and...stung Christine? If Romeo had seen it right, the woman had produced stingers of some sort from her wrists and used them to inject what he assumed to be some kind of paralyzing venom into the girl's neck, causing her to fall to the ground, or almost.
With that done the woman said a few words and then took off. While the Compound was in danger, Romeo was more concerned with the immediate danger of the venom in Christine. He walks over and kneels beside her to get a better look at the stings and to see how she was doing. Aside from not being able to move she was alive. "Franky, stay here and watch Christine. When the coast is clear take her back inside so someone can look at her wounds." Romeo says, standing up, the remaining spikes on his arm slowly retracting back into him, the same chemical process that made them melting them back down inside of him. As a result of this chemical reaction his core body temperature would raise slightly for a moment, but then return back to normal.
By now the woman was making her way over to Felix, passing Jamison along the way. Thankfully the woman didn't touch her, but for her that might have been a mistake. Romeo knew what Jamison could do, and it wasn't always a pretty sight. What's more it seemed Christine was slowly making her way over as well, and there was a...snake? Shaking his head the leader of the Compound just sighs and reaches a hand into either side of his coat, placing his fingers against his ribs. Slowly blood soaks into his shirt, staining it crimson, and then two tears appear and widen a bit as he begins to pull out two long blades from his sides. When he was finished his shirt was ruined, but the wounds had healed and he was now wielding what looked like two katana without proper handles or guards, and they were just as sharp as the real thing.
Felix was down, Christine looked as if a a still wind could knock her over, and now Jamison was trying to use her powers on the woman. However, Romeo steps in between the two females, blocking them from making eye contact.
"Jamison, sorry but this is personal now." Romeo says quietly to the girl, a slight grin on his face. "If she gets past me again feel free to take her down, and you can start calling Hunter your boss." He had a policy that if anyone trying to enter the Compound without permission got past him twice he would relinquish his control to whoever was the next capable mutant. "And Christine, thank you for your bravery, you've got as strong a spirit as ever, but you need to rest a bit. I think I can handle this."
Walking away from the two of them his grin widens a bit and his pace picks up. Once he has some speed he runs and leaps at the woman, swords raised over his head, and he brings them down in an X slash, aiming for her chest. Even if the slash hit it would be shallow, just an attempt to knock her back and away from the Compound. Romeo wouldn't even attempt to kill without it being absolutely necessary.

Fran would smile with a flare of daring to the seductiveness to it then grabbing Felix from the throat, pulling him up from between her legs then she'd stand, lifting him up further slightly. She would laugh at him, placing her free hand on his chest and slowly dug her claws deep into it, only drawing more blood adding to the collection puddle at their feet.
''It is strange you pronounce yourself as a boy rather than a man when I think you can already guess, I am younger than you.'' She would grin at this and suddenly with quick slashes and tearing peeled away his attire that was strangely like his skin. But this didn't stop her nor did she become disturbed by this. As his clothing finally came off with a large, quick pull down it fell to the ground.
Felix's skin would be torn in parts, patches of his skin missing from her harshness, deliberate but not by chance, as soon as she felt his clothing she knew she'd have to tear it away from him, hence why she stabbed her claws into his chest to loosen the weak point of it. He would be completely exposed to everyone around them showing is human and male body as well as any scars and blemishes she is not inflict. His skin badly damaged from the torture rather than the attack.
''How does it feel to be undermined not only by a woman, but your equal?'' She'd ask, a satisfied grin on her lips but a strange sadness in her snake like eyes, so obvious. She was treating this stranger like she was treated back then, in realizing this she'd pull him in and hug him, silently, her breathing in sync with his as their chests connected together.
She would rest her chin on his shoulder, turning her head and kissed his neck once more that would be when a single tear fell from her left eye, running down his now bare back. The was also when she saw Jamie and she narrowed her eyes at her only to whisper into Felix's ear. ''I'm sorry..'' Before laying him on the ground carefully just like she did with Christina that she sensed was behind her as well as her snake but she was no threat, her venom swam in her veins but Jamie, just by smelling her scent she could tell she was trouble.
She'd look down at Felix as he laid in his own blood, bending down as Jamie stopped in front of her but not close enough for her to attack her and she'd run her hand through Felix's hair tenderly, ripping a apart of her richly coloured kimono and laid it over him before standing up again staring at Jamie with narrowed eyes.
Then Romeo stepped between them both and as he finished his speech he turned and looked at her with a widened grin. She'd look at Felix for a moment then wiped away the tear from her face, looking back Romeo successfully sliced her chest up a bit, cutting the kimono away to now the top hung and her black crop top was fully visible, stumbling back, her blood run down and stained her kimono with more blood that was no longer just Felix's but her's too.
She would instantly heal, her eyes flashed a brighter gold as her healing ability kicked in then it would be consumed by red once more a she burst into flames and she'd scream in rage. ''Forget mother! I don't want you here! This is my home! Mine! No one takes my home away from it! No one!'' She'd scream at Romeo with obvious rage and protection but also another tear run down her face, it become obvious that she had never been in this situation before to everyone and herself.
This made her angry at herself for not seeing this sooner but she was unsure how to deal with this realization to she dealt with it the only way she knew...she fought it out, like a animal fighting for scraps, her feral instincts taking hold of her and she stomped the ground, she was confused as she cried and screamed in rage.
She would then let her flames die down, her snake like eyes going back to it's natural colour, icy blue but she was not charging at Romeo...tears in her eyes, blood stained her front, she was like a animal fighting for its life...but she was now reckless in movement and in mind. ''Just disappear! I don't need anyone!'' She'd scream as she leaped in the air, ready to tackle Romeo to the ground and savagely slash open his chest with her claws...
Jamison wanted to insist, she was so close to telling Romeo to let her in, but in a way it was like protecting the female, letting him take the hit instead of Jamison taking full control. It was scary, frightening, the things Jamie could do. It was so bad, that sometimes she frightened herself. She nodded quietly, there wasn't a need for words as Romeo stepped in between the two of them. A slight smirk, however, touched her lips. If Hunter was going to take over, Jamie swore she would give him hell. It was just a thing, Romeo and her shared. The girl stepped back.
Jamie watched as the woman hugged Felix, before carefully settling him in his own blood. Something about that, perked her curiousity. She feels sorry... She thought, her eyes looking over the mutant's face. 'Mother' was Nevada, it was her home. She thought they were destroying it? What was her problem with them exactly?
Again, her thoughts were interrupted as the woman leaped into the air, aiming directly at Romeo. Jamie was in a fighting stance, feet planted, hand at her side. She was faster than most would take her for, smarter...and a lot stronger with her gifts. She wanted to step in, but she knew the rules. She was not to step in, unless Romeo said so.
It was kind of like a Mutant law with everyone. If one should fight, let another have a chance. It keeps their powers in check, makes them stronger. If Romeo let's her past, Jamison was going to take her out. Not kill her, but she would damn well make sure that the girl is secure and unable to do any more damage to her or her family.

After the initial attack Romeo pauses, holding his ground. Despite the fact that this woman had harmed his family, he would not be the aggressor past this point. In his youth Romeo had been just as stubborn as he was today, if not more so, but he had also been hotheaded at times, fighting when maybe it wasn't exactly the best option. He'd learned from his mistakes, however. Flipping the katana around he stabs them into the ground just before the mutant slams into him and begins clawing at his chest.
In the time that it took the female mutant to reach him and begin clawing at his chest he would have created a layer of his organic metal just under his skin. It would be like a layer of armor, so her claws would easily tear away at his flesh, but they wouldn't be able to go any further than that. If he had wanted he could have allowed her to tear into his chest without the layer of metal, he wouldn't have died from it, but he wanted to try and talk to her, and without his heart working it would be a little hard to do so. He lets her get in a few slashes, letting her work out some of the emotion that seemed to have been building up inside, before he speaks.
He was lying on his back in the sand now, and she would be atop him, much the way things had been with Felix earlier, except she would find it was not as easy to make him pass out.
"You are the same as us, there is no reason to fight anymore. This is supposed to be a place of peace, not bloodshed." Romeo says in a calm voice, not even flinching as the skin on his chest was torn away just to grow back gain. It hurt, things like this always hurt, but after a while you got used to the pain. If he had to guess she was the same way, since she seemed to have a similar healing factor, maybe even faster than his own. "For now I am the leader and protector of the others, they are my family." Now he reaches up, grabbing her by the wrists to stop her from clawing at him anymore. Her hands were red now, dripping his own blood onto his face as he looks up at her, looking her in the eyes. "You mentioned your mother earlier, yes? You meant this place, this desert. Would you mother really want you shedding blood like this?"

"You mentioned your mother earlier, yes? You meant this place, this desert. Would you mother really want you shedding blood like this?"
When Romeo stopped her from hurting him further, looking into her icy blue snake eyes, her harshness softened in her eyes as she turned at the Nevada desert, mother. ''She is a harsh survivalist...I guess I can respect all of you for that...'' She'd relax some more but her eyes saddened even more. ''Like me yes...but the same not in the slightest.'' She would put her face into Romeo's and inhale his scent, pulling her face away again. ''You smell different from me....you are more human that you think. As for me...well..I just have the body.''
She was vague about her past not giving out straight answers and talked in poetic riddles, her eyes were softer now but the eyes of a snake were mischievous and observant but her human side allowed her emotions to be seen through them, her lips were a blueish red, a trait that she gained from being immune to poisons and using it as a weapon. Her hair was shoulder length, dark brown but the light from the hot sun showed red in it, it was also choppy and braided at part of it, her face youthful and unblemished and a strange maturity to it, like she had lived longer than most.
She would just look into Romeo's eyes now unsure of what to say or do now, often she was used to killing and that was it but this was new...she had people around her instead of animals and she hadn't killed them but attempted to. She was wary and distrustful of their presence so for a moment she stood her ground with Romeo, just staying on top then shed back don't now trying to pull herself from his grip, even started to catch on fire as she did so.
She was confused but this all...
Felix had regained his energy a while ago and could have stood up, but he didn't want to. He didn't feel the need to. The mutant obviously had regenerative abilities, and fighting would be useless.
He felt her peeling away his clothing, which in turn peeled away patches of his skin. He didn't particularly care if people saw him, his pride was not that petty. "You haven't undermined me," That was the only thing he said.
He could see the sadness in her eyes and knew that he had not lost. Fighting her would only be a waste of energy, one he didn't want to make. What finally made him understand partially why she was doing this was her apology.
He didn't speak anything else, Felix had figured it out and simply lay in his blood. He regenerated the new wounds quickly as he should have done with his earlier wounds. The Kimono part that covered him hid most of his regeneration.
The sun was his source of energy this time, as it was with most of nature. He slowly sat up, new clothes appearing over his body. Felix watched as Romeo spoke with her, and saw the rage she held.
Felix had seen quite a bit of anger throughout his life, and this anger seemed to stem from confusion. The flames dying down only aided in Felix figuring out the situation.
Felix wouldn't interfere physically, he could but he simply chose not to. He stood up and watched the fight calmly. He had been mostly unhindered in recovering his energy, seeing as no one bothered to block his body from being touched by the sun's rays.
He smiled and dusted himself off, not wanting to get sand all over his body. The mutant had underestimated him, as he had her. In his eyes, the fight had already been decided. Someone would beat the phoenix mentally or physically.
Felix walked towards the gate and wondered how the others were going to get to the city, seeing as the driver was probably dead. He sprouted wings from his back, black and feathery wings. He could get to the city any number of ways, but flying would be fastest. He'd just have to be sure this situation was done with.

The pain in Franky's chest was nothing. He'd gotten the hell beat out of him back home before joining the compound, both in school and when he'd tried to be a superhero and got in over his head. Turns out one man can't fight the mob. What did hurt, though, was watching Christine get taken down by those stingers, then Felix getting ripped apart. He saw more of the gore involved than he wanted, but he had to trust that Felix would live. Romeo was still in play, and Felix was a tough bastard, he and Romeo having been the ones to help Franky get a better hold of his powers since coming here. For now he hobbled over to Christine, getting his strength back as he got to moving until he caught up with her, and stood beside her. She was thinking about attacking. So was Franky.
"I know you're running hot, but don't burn the candle from both ends. We don't know what all that stinger thing does... Moving might be a bad idea for now" Franky said, swallowing hard as he watched Felix go down, only for Romeo to step up. It got a smirk out of the rockstar, giving the bossman a nod when he ordered Franky to stay with Christine, though he decided that didn't mean he was forbidden from helping further. As Romeo and Fran began to trade blows, Franky took a few deep breaths to steady his heart, and then widened his stance, pointing his right shoulder at Fran as he brought his hands together and moved them back towards his stomach, palms still facing out. Anyone that had seen Franky train, such as Romeo, would know what he was gearing up to do.
"You had my back when those fireballs would have ruined my good looks, now its Franky's turn to get yours. If the boss doesn't take care of her, the number one mutant superstar will put her on her ass for good. So you just take a load off and watch the light show Christie, because I've just been giving her static cling compared to this" Franky said, a more aggressive, maybe even darker grin spreading on his face as a sparks began building all over his body. It was slow at first, a spark here on his shoulder, another there dancing on his palm, but then they popped up in pairs, then in groups of ten until electricity was running along his body in a constant stream of energy and power. Seeing Felix get on his feet again did nothing to quell Franky's anger, nor did it cause the man to dial down the juice. After the light show was in full swing, the sparks on his body slowed down, not due to Franky powering down, but moving the flow to a focused point. His palms. The electricity was nearly focused into a loose sphere atop Franky's hands with enough power built up to rival a bolt from the heavens themselves. But now came the hard part... waiting. Franky wasn't the type to strike in cold blood, not when it kind of seemed like Fran's determination to kill them all was waning due to whatever Romeo was saying, and so the attack was held at the apex of its power, a rifle from God with a hair trigger. If Fran so much as twitched towards Romeo again, he'd let loose the bolt of lightning at her and knock her thirty feet off her ass. Short of moving at the speed of light, she wouldn't avoid this. If she stood down, so would he.
The flip side of the coin was, however, that Franky would need to stay down for a moment to keep his good health. He was just under the line of self harm with this attack, and only because Christine might need to be carried back inside. Even holding it like this was speeding up his heart, causing him to start breathing heavily. One shot.

It was clear that something was going on inside the head of this woman, and while Romeo would love to just let go of her and let her do whatever she liked, so long as she left the Compound and his family alone of course, he could not in good conscious do it. She was struggling to get free now, and catching fire once more. The flames hurt a little, but it wasn't anything Romeo couldn't handle. Forming a small metal plate in his head he suddenly sits up and pulls her arms towards him, resulting in a headbutt hard enough to knock Fran out cold. It seemed that with her unconscious the flames that had begun to surround her died out as well, and as she slumps over he catches her, letting go of her arms to do so. Letting out a sigh he re-positions the woman so that he is holding her like a child and slowly stands up.
"You can cool down now Franky. I think we have things under control now." Romeo says, turning to look at the others who had surrounded the scene. Well, everyone but Felix anyway, who had walked off and now sported a pair of black wings. "Everyone, I'm sorry for the delay of this supply run, but once this has all been sorted out we'll try it again." Turning his head slightly he shifts his gaze out towards the wreckage of Driver and his truck. "Can someone please go and check on him?"
Without waiting for a reply he then turns and begins to walk back towards the Compound's main gate. As he gets closer the door opens and Hunter can be seen standing just on the other side, a purple claymore resting on his shoulder. Seeing Romeo carrying the woman he steps aside and lets them past, turning to watch as he heads for the elevator that would take him down to the safe rooms. There were specially designed rooms on the third floor down that were very tough. Unstable mutants or people with harmful mutations were taken there until better arrangements could be made for them or they could be helped.
"Alright everyone, back inside." Hunter says, putting a hand to his mouth to focus the sound of the voice so the others could hear him outside the Compound. "If you can get back inside on your own then come on, if not then say so and I can get some people out here to lend a hand!"
Hunter was sort of the second in command under Romeo. It wasn't an official title or anything, just a sort of unspoken rule. The two of them would often go out into the desert at night and spar under the light of the moon and the next day others would come out to find the landscape dramatically changed. There would be deep ridges where their sword had missed their marks, rock formations had been shattered, shards of metal, both natural and organic, would litter the sand and glitter like diamonds.
As Hunter and a few other mutants came out to help those who had been involved with the short battle, Romeo was busy carrying Fran down to the third floor. It was just a short elevator ride, and once there he takes he to one of the special detention rooms. Once inside the door closes and locks behind him. Walking over to a simple bed he lays the woman down and takes a moment to look her over, trying to remember all the abilities she had. All of the rooms were, for lack of a better word, element proof. Fire, water, wind, ice, nothing like that would damage the room, so that meant no need to worry about her burning the place down. Her strength alone shouldn't do much if any damage to the room.
He turns his back on her for a moment to go over to a locked supply closet hidden in the wall, looking for something to put on her arms to deal with her stingers.

"Alright everyone, back inside." Hunter says, putting a hand to his mouth to focus the sound of the voice so the others could hear him outside the Compound. "If you can get back inside on your own then come on, if not then say so and I can get some people out here to lend a hand!"
Hunter was sort of the second in command under Romeo. It wasn't an official title or anything, just a sort of unspoken rule. The two of them would often go out into the desert at night and spar under the light of the moon and the next day others would come out to find the landscape dramatically changed. There would be deep ridges where their sword had missed their marks, rock formations had been shattered, shards of metal, both natural and organic, would litter the sand and glitter like diamonds.
As Hunter and a few other mutants came out to help those who had been involved with the short battle, Romeo was busy carrying Fran down to the third floor. It was just a short elevator ride, and once there he takes he to one of the special detention rooms. Once inside the door closes and locks behind him. Walking over to a simple bed he lays the woman down and takes a moment to look her over, trying to remember all the abilities she had. All of the rooms were, for lack of a better word, element proof. Fire, water, wind, ice, nothing like that would damage the room, so that meant no need to worry about her burning the place down. Her strength alone shouldn't do much if any damage to the room.
He turns his back on her for a moment to go over to a locked supply closet hidden in the wall, looking for something to put on her arms to deal with her stingers.
As Romeo actively head butted her with a reinforced forehead of steel the shock caused her flames to die out instantly and she would start felling to the side of Romeo only for him to catch her, her forehead would show bruising only to heal up in a instant as he cradled her in his arms despite that she attacked everyone and stood up.
She would groan slightly as he started to walk, her head nestled into his chest with her arms against him, overlapping each other. She would feel the cold of the compound causing her to jump from it, she'd hear distorted echos of speech, the rumble of the elevator and the motion of it, making her stomach feel weird.
She would then feel the colder temperature and her smooth skin got goosebumps and her muscled tensed up. Gritting her teeth with a sighed out groan as she nuzzled herself into Romeo for warmth then as he placed her on the bed to that she was on her side, she'd be facing him eyes closed, she looked beautiful when she was relaxed despite that she was shivering a little from the cold that most would not feel but she was sensitive to it as it was one of her weaknesses.
She would groan a little again, her eyes twitched from the sound of Romeo opening something. Her breath would be visible like she were in a ice cave though the room would only colder than room temperature. Her eyelids would slowly open, she'd groan again then her eyes would widen as she looked around the room then to Romeo.
She would sit up and as she stood she'd only fall back down, her legs shaky and she would growl at Romeo, obviously weaker, her eyes glowed gold as well as her birthmark and claws would grow and she'd scratch at the ground as she pulled herself away from Romeo..

When Franky came over and spoke to her Christine started to calm Down knowing that he was right but chuckled also. She stood up striaght instead of bending over in pain. She lightly placed her hand on Frankies shoulder and smiled a bit. " You knock her ass down if she tries anything again." She pulled her hand away slowly watching as Frankies got all hyped and juiced up.
Christine could feel her legs wanting to give in but she held herself together and watched as Romeo knocked Fran out with that hard headbutt. As Romeo brought Fran inside Christine kept her eyes on her as he diss appeared into the compound. " thanks frank.." Christine said turning her head slightly to Franky. She began to make her way back into the compound still holding her stomach but standing striaght and her head held high.
Her stomach was still very sore and still felt as if it was on fire, but that didn't stop her from stumbling back to the common room to collect her clothes. After she did , she dragged her feet back to her room. Christine wanted to protect her friends but she also did not like failing at it or being a burden to anyone. She always thought that she was a burden to her father and that's why he didn't want her anymore.
She didn't care much though that her father didn't want her. She just kept on living on her own, even If she was in an orphanage she never made friends because kids were scared of her. She could always be found either climbing trees or wondering around in the back woods behind the orphanage. The only friends she made was a black, blue eyed stray cat, that she named X and a odd looking brownish-red wolf that she befriended.
When she got to her room Chritine quickly made her way to the bathroom and released all the continents in her stomach. After that she flushed quickly groaning and brushed her teeth. Levi slid up to her shoulders and pushed her cold skin against Christines warm cheeks as she gripped the sides of the skin squeezing and remembering how easily she was taken down. Her anger got the best of her that moment and she ended up melting the sides of the sink slightly. " Damn it.."

Felix didn't have much to say or do when he watched the phoenix begin regaining flames, seeing as Romeo quickly handled it through knocking her unconscious. Felix felt stupid for not considering this option beforehand.
He listened to what Romeo said and responded with, "I'm going ahead, I'll see you at the city." He didn't particularly want to check on the driver and he guessed that someone else would do it. He had already begun flapping his wings when Hunter spoke and couldn't hear him, but Felix wouldn't have stayed anyways. He could hide his identity quite well.
He had flown before and didn't find it as a new experience. He managed to get airborne a few seconds later, but he was only hovering at this state. He then changed into an eagle, a protected animal. It would have been a strange sight, a humanoid figure turning into a bird. He wouldn't be shot down as he approached the city,
That was when he began flying towards the city, a majestic creature flying over the clouds. The heat didn't affect him as much considering the height he was at, and he knew that other birds wouldn't pick him out of the sky.
He approached the city a few minutes later and gently dropped onto a windowsill, hoping that this was the one he always used as a hideout. He always had a penthouse rented out for mutants in the city in case they needed a place to stay, but he wasn't sure if this was the right room.

Jamison nodded curtly and made her way back to the compound. What had just happened was a blur, as if she didn't even see it. She sighed heavily and made it to the compound, not bothering to speak to Hunter or anyone for that matter. She headed to her room, a place with sound proof walls. It felt better that way, no sound to escape outside or inside, but a switch. A switch to turn on in case someone was knocking on her door. It was the only way to help her head. She packed her duffle bag, filling it with aspirin, water bottles, a change of clothes and the last edition to her body, her black necklace.
Jamie hurriedly made her way outside once more and took a deep breath. She looked at Hunter, her eyes not daring to look him in the eyes. One day, she had almost took control over Hunter, and of course, she hadn't meant to. It was one of her episodes, where her powers just wanted to break out and lose control. Hunter didn't realize it, but she felt it and stopped it as soon as she recognized the connection. Ever since then, for about four months now, Jamie never looked him in the eye. And she refused to tell him why.
"I'm going to go on my own as well. I need to walk and I'm sure I can handle myself. I'll meet you guys in town, probably at the gas station or something." She explained, slinging the bag over her shoulders. "See you, Hunter. Tell Romeo, I needed to head out." She added, and headed out.
She made sure to stay close to the rocks, walking under whatever ridge offered shadows.

Watching as Romeo took care of business with Fran, Franky smiled as he powered back down, reversing the process that got him there. The sparks went from his palms to again consume his body, and slowly died down until they stopped altogether. It got the big guy breathing pretty hard. He was still on his feet though, something he wouldn't be if he'd fired the lightning bolt. He simply nodded when Christine thanking her, about to say something about repaying him just repaying the favor but she headed back towards the compound before he got the chance. He didn't mind much, seemed like she had something on her mind, but she was moving again which was good he supposed. Romeo would make sure someone saw to her and make sure the poison wasn't just biding its time or slow acting. He followed after her once he got some air in his lungs again, giving Romeo and Jamie a thumbs up as he passed them by, stopping only to pick up his jacket and attempt to flick the sand off of it, but it would take a few washings to accomplish that.
Heading back inside himself, Franky heads straight for the kitchen to grab some water to cool down after fighting in the hot sands, then takes a seat at the dining table to clear his head about what had happened. He wasn't sure who the woman was that attacked them, or why she'd decided to, but that kind of crazy wasn't bred into someone. He could picture a little girl with snake eyes getting tossed into the hot sands and left to die, surviving by becoming a predator in a harsh land. That'd drive anyone nuts he bet, block the shine from any rockstar. He decided to wait before calling her an enemy outright, and made an impromptu decision to introduce himself to her before he headed back out. He'd spotted Jamie heading back out into the desert, and following after her would be a good excuse to go into town and pick up a few things. He had friends here and there from previous outings, and it'd give him a bit more time to say hi.
Nodding in affirmation of the new plan, Franky got up with a can of sprite in hand and made his way downstairs where the elemental proof rooms were, poking his head into the room to see Romeo and Fran were still inside, and paused there. He wasn't sure if he should even be down here or not, but he was a curious sort, and not big on restraint.
"Heya bossman" He said, nodding to Romeo, then gave Fran a nod before smiling, "And hey to you too babe". He stepped over so that he was in front of the doorway now, getting a good look at Fran before looking to Romeo. She was kinda cute in a homicidal kind of way. "Jamie took off for town ahead of us. Care if I take my jeep out to speed that along and look for Driver? It might not be too late to get him help if the vultures haven't gotten impatient" He said, eying Fran again. He was having trouble figuring out how he felt about her after reminding himself of what all she'd done.
"Mind if I ask you an odd question, lady? Aside from Felix, what do you eat? People build bridges much faster over food" He said, taking a sip of his drink.

Christine would splash water onto her face then dry it off with a towel heading back over to her bed. she quickly snatched up her army green coat and ripped the long sleeves off of them then slipped it on. She wiped her goggles off making sure they weren't full of sand and started to make her way to the kitchen. She would open the fridge and grab the can of root beer she managed to get her hands on with her name written on it to make sure nobody would take it. Christine made her way down to where Romeo was at and waved her hand lazily at him before her eyes shifted from him to Fran.She stared for a short time before snapping out of it and looking over to Franky.
"hey Frank, are you going into the city? Um i kind of owe you so i'll buy ya something to eat?" Christine would smile softly leaning against the wall opening her soda and sipping it. Suddenly a she felt a slight sting in her stomach which made her quickly clutch her stomach for a second and take deep breathes. "..ngh.." when the pain faded away she stood up straight again sighing.

Jamison didn't get very far, the city was a pretty ways away. However, she stopped walking and stared across the Nevada desert. Did she ever wonder what it would be like, to live in a city again? Sometimes she did, but the thought itself worried her and caused fear in the pit of her stomach. At times, she thought about asking Romeo, or the others, what would they have done differently, if they were able to take a walk back in time. Her answer...well, she would have said goodbye. Jamie kicked at a stone in front of her feet, her eyes narrowed slightly. She watched the pebble in front of her foot, it quickly lifting from the ground and balancing in front of her line of vision.
"Well, Jamie, looks like you haven't lost your touch." She murmured, the stone spiraling before flying away from where she stood. She continued walking again, her hands in her pockets and her bag bouncing against her lower waist, rocking as she walked. When was the last time she had gone swimming? Must have been years. Could one forget to swim? Was that even possible?
"What the hell...?" She thought, her mind tracing back to reality. She stopped walking and stared down at the creature in front of her. An Armadillo? The tip of her foot kicked it gently. "Oh that's...lovely." She said with sarcasm. A dead Armadillo... and she would be the one to run into it.
With a shake of her head, Jamie took off into a run.

"I hate to do this to you, but you're a threat to me and my family." Romeo says as he rummages through the supply closet. He had heard her wake up and begin to move about, and while he was keeping alert he wasn't actually watching her. Nothing had been able to kill him so far after all. Plus if he had been killed by her after taking her into the Compound then he sort of deserved it as far as his logic was concerned. "I'm guessing you don't like the cold huh? Anyway, I'll let you out of here once we get back from gathering some supplies. I don't want to hold you here, but if I let you loose and then leave this place and you get out and hurt someone it would be my fault and I would probably have to hunt you down and kill you." His voice was as cold as stone, he was dead serious about this, despite the softness in his eyes as he turns to look at her.
Before he can say anything else Franky enters the room, followed shortly by Christine. Franky looked like normal again, he'd probably drank some water and cooled off a little before heading down to this level. Christine, on the other hand, looked better but didn't really act like it. Her stomach seemed to be bothering her.
"Here, take one of these, it should help." Romeo says, reaching into a bag he'd taken out of the closet an tossing a pill bottle to her. The pills inside were designed to help get poison and venom out of the system. "It may make you a bit sick, and you'll start to sweat alot, but it should help. I won't stop you from going into town but I would suggest against it." Turning to face Franky he nods. "Sure, go for it. Hunter should have sent someone out there to see about him but it wouldn't hurt to check anyway. If you don't mind take Christine with you, if she'd still like to go of course, and pick up Jamison along the way if you see her. I'll get another vehicle from the garage and take whoever else is left that wants to go and meet you there."
Romeo was ignoring the fact that Franky seemed to be flirting with the woman who had nearly killed him earlier, had nearly killed alot of them. Had any single mutant been out there and gone against her she might have made her way into the Compound. The military had a habit of assigning a letter to mutants based on class. It went from A to E, with E-class mutants being the weakest and A-class being the strongest. Romeo and Nathan were ranked B, and although he hated thinking about such things, this new woman would have to be at the same level, or maybe even an A-class mutant.

Fran would watch as Romeo talked to the others. She would feel herself stiffening from the cold and she slumped over to the floor, blackish blue lips lightening from the cold she was so sensitive too. She'd look at Franky though, and despite her weakened state she grinned.
''I don't need to eat anything but consume blood...but I like to eat my victims flesh, do you want to test that theory?'' She'd tease sadistically licking the top of her lips with a small shivered laugh then her snake eyes go to Christina and her grin goes and she frowns at her. ''You look like someone I know..'' She'd say being vague as ever.
She'd then see Romeo start to come to her and in her weakened state she only could growl and that was what she did unless he got close enough for her to inject her poison but then again, she would not be able to escape without help so she would not act on this desire and only growl at him like he were entering her territory.
Wrath would sit out on the balcony, in a chair with a cloak over him, his features hidden in shade, he wore all white with a lab coat. He'd be sipping on some water with a refreshed sigh from his mouth. He'd smile to himself before putting the glass on the metal table.
He would then take away his cloak revealing himself. He was blond, short choppy hair and middle aged but with a youthful feel to him that was unnatural. He'd be tanned and of Asian descent but with a slight tan making his ethnicity mixed. His exterior would be bandaged, a bandage on his left eyes, hiding it as well as his arms, neck and chest but his right eye would be visible and it was a dark blue colour. He would take another sip of his water, a medical officer near him assessing his health at a constant from a far.
His left hand would be claws and spikes would be on his knuckles, the bones would be black. The skin on this hand and arm black tinted, his lips would be blueish black tint also. He'd use his right hand for things like putting his glass down back on the table while the other was for combat.
He'd then look up at a tall figure that rested against the bars of the balcony, with a smile on his face, holding a glass of what seemed like alcohol in his hand, he'd take a sip of it, his shoulder length brown hair blowing in the short breeze of the Nevada desert. From behind he was shrouded in shade as the position of the sun was in front of him, giving his front a whited out effect, making his features vague to be described.
Wrath would tilt look away down at the table still with a smile on his face. ''Is it time Hadrian?'' He'd ask with assertiveness and a playful tune to it also.
The comment about blood or testing the theory didn't bother Franky much, he recognized bluffs when he saw them. He did, however, make a mental note to grab some steaks while he was out. Cook 'em enough to kill the bacteria and let her at it. Might calm her down if she realized the compound wasn't hurting anyone out here. Fran talking to Christine pissed him off though, causing him to frown before putting an arm on Christie's shoulder to keep her from doing anything foolhardy. If he wanted to deck her for making light of the attack, he couldn't imagine Christine would take it in stride.
"You just keep barking in there beast babe, for the time being its all you got. You might've caught us off our game before, but now you're in the belly of the beast, surrounded by metal and concrete and people ready to defend this place with their lives. You setting foot on the sand again in one piece would be a helluva lot easier if you played nice instead of baring those fangs. Why don't you try talking to bossman over there and see if we can't get some dialogue going. Might make some friends that way" He said, lacking the usual flare his speeches had but this was a sign of his sincerity. He was holding out hope she wasn't some mad beast, that there was some humanity buried down in there somewhere. It was worth putting up with her for a bit to find out. With that done, Franky turns to Christine and smiles, giving her a thumbs up with the hand holding his Sprite.
"I love road trips, but you don't owe Franky a thing, babe. If it hadn't been for you my head would be well done right now instead of the raw perfection it already is" He said, posing with a hand on his chin, winking at the girl. It wasn't flirting per say as much as it was self adoration. "So grab your stuff and visit the facilities if you must, because Franky is going on tour baby, taking the light show on the road!" He said, a bit louder now as he got himself pumped up, sparks flashing about on his chest before he began walking off, his steps bouncy as he danced. It didn't take much to work him up, and hanging out with people he liked was a surefire way to get him jazzed.
"Just make sure you grab a lunch bag or something. Franky's a superstar, but even he can't put up with vomit cooking up in the sun for three hours. And some snacks, but not in the same bag. Not unless you like your own seasoning" Franky joked, flashing a smile to show as much before he turned a corner and was out of sight, beat boxing his way up the stairs. Today was going to be fun after all, he could tell.
