Hellfire and Brimstone @ 08:19 pm

[info]marvel_girl:

Less than twenty-four hours had passed since Rachel had been abducted by Lady Mastermind of the Hellfire Club (as opposed to Lady Mastermind of the X-Tremists or any of the other dozen or so Lady Masterminds out there. Wyngarde had a lot of kids). The illusion currently running in her mind was deep-set and powerful, though not as powerful as the Phoenix shard she still carried within her. Given enough time, it would probably shatter.

But in the end, it didn't much matter. An omega-level telepath and telekinetic backed by a cosmic force could do fantastic damage in a short amount of time. Even if she broke free eventually, a lot of damage would likely be done by the time she snapped out of it.

Cloaked in cosmic flame, the body of Rachel Summers landed on the lawn of the X-Mansion. To her mind, she was landing in front of one of Sinister's bases, ready to face the legion of Marauders or Nasty Boys that dwellt within, before she ended his miserable life.

She brought up a hand, utterly dismantling the foyer with a single gesture. "Come on then!" she shouted. "See how you like fighting someone who fights back!"

Open to X-Men @ 09:24 am

[info]archlocke:

Gabriel is almost always found inside when it's severely cold outside.  Today was one of those days where he could not be bothered to venture out into the cold, even to stretch his wings.  It's not that it really bothered him all that much.  The real reason was that Gabriel liked to use the cold weather as an excuse to be lazy.  Because you know what?  It really was the perfect excuse to stay inside and be lazy.

He could be found watching television in the common room on the first floor.  He owned every season of the Game of Thrones, and was continuing his marathon of it.  Right now he was watching Ned Stark getting beheaded.  Poor little Arya.

Dating Talk @ 09:37 pm

[info]dark_scion:

 This was their second and what he assumed was going to become a running routine for the pair. It was a different diner, but once more Fred and Lexie were "bird-watching".

"You've barely touched your coffee," he observed.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree @ 09:59 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:

Each year toward the end of December people come together with friends and family to celebrate and exchange gifts. The atmosphere is light, merry and there is plenty of cheer to go around. Holiday music fills the air while bright colorful lights light up the nights. Mistletoe is placed in strategic locations and people are willing caught under it.

It's a time of celebration, even for superheroes.

Time Honored Tradition - Rate The Babe @ 07:52 pm

[info]brit_sorcerer:

The annual tradition of Rate the Babe was usually held at the Avengers mansion, but this year it would be held at Excalibur's headquarters in London. Quinn was more than happy to play host and set up refreshments. There was of course plenty of beer and it was accompanied by pub food.

Quinn was already on his fourth beer when the guys started arriving.

[info]gingeroracle:

The place: Starbucks. The time: 4:00 p.m.

It had taken some pestering, but finally, Lexie had dragged Fred out of the mansion and gone into town with her for a little /ahem/ bird watching. It was just in time for High School to be out and she was sipping herocha latte and making little hash marks on a napkin.

"Alright....2 o'clock. Dark hair, rock-a-billy heels. Yes or no?"

"I'll consider it" is as good as yes in his books @ 12:25 am

[info]under_the_skin:

 It was a slow day today, summer and all meant he had no school or classes, and since it was a weekend...no work at that internship he'd gotten for the summer either. But he did remember a certain secluded scientist mutant who'd agreed to go out for pizza one day. Sure he'd seemed a little...unenthusiastic about the whole thing but hey, the guy needed to get out sometime.
 
So Vlad got dressed to go outside, grabbed car keys and went off to go find Fred, wherever the guy might be.

Manhunt @ 10:12 pm

[info]nextgen_shield:

The X-Men had informed Shield of the resurgence of the U-Men and since then Donnelly had feelers out to see how extensive the organization was. While on one of these searches some unexpected information fell into their laps. He quickly put in a call to the X-Men.

Happy Sweet 16 @ 07:18 pm

[info]gingeroracle:

It was a tradition for Lexie's birthdays. The Summers' would break out the old grill and they'd have a big party, out by the pool, the first of the Summer. Steak and Hot Dogs, drinks, ice cream and cake, and music that kept getting louder by intervals until Scott went over to turn it down again. It really helped when your friends and family could control weather and make sure the water was warm...

THey saw some rough times but now..? Now it was time to party.

Happy Birthday Prince Dork! (open) @ 11:05 pm

[info]anyastark:

Anya had been planning Misha's birthday present for some time. It had taken some time to get it set up, but she had managed to get it ready by his birthday. Well, Sunny did most of it. Anya did take Nick out to shop for a present for big brother.

She picked up Nick and the two of them drove out to Xavier's to pick up Prince Dork.

A New Page in History @ 09:09 pm

[info]ng_xtremists:

Cape Citadel, Florida, home to a portion of the United States nuclear arsenal.  Notable for being the first public target of the then-terrorist mutant Magneto and the first public appearance of the X-Men who battled him there.  Not especially remarkable in and of itself, but quite notable in that the events there first brought the idea of mutants and the causes involved to the public attention.  It was a day that changed everything.

In the decades since, the stock of mutants has risen and fallen, sometimes with a fair amount of public support, sometimes with even those who called themselves heroes a little afraid to show themselves in public.  In the time since, Magneto had gone from a wanted and hated terrorist to a leader of men, with a nation of his own.  The X-Men continued their fight for mutant rights and equality, trying to show the world that they to, could be heroes. 

Today... today was going to be a day for the history books again.

It began with a flash of energy in the middle of the base, a teleportation device, and the appearance of seven women.  One, monstrous like a giant frog.  Another, taller than all the rest and built like a truck.  A slender, pale woman in red and a similar looking woman with blue hair.  Another, a blonde, staying at the fringes.  Another, a beautiful red haired woman.

And last, in crimson and purple armor, cape trailing behind her, and dark helmet upon her head.  She floated on the air on currents of magnetic force, looking at the world like she owned it all.  In scant moments, they defeated the soldiers who came to challenge them, mutant powers making it all too easy.

One of the others, the frog-woman, pulled out a small, camera-like device and pointed it at her.

She raised a hand, and a magnetic force field sprang into existence around the base, bent just enough to allow her transmission through.  It would soon be appearing on every television in the country.

"People of the United States, I am Magneta, daughter of Magneto.  And for too long have you oppressed our people!  Today, as my father once did, we mutants strike back to take what is ours!  My X-Tremists and I have seized your nuclear arsenal.  We demand the total surrender of your government, or else I shall unleash them upon you.  Today is a call for all mutants to join us!  Rise up!  Rise up and join our cause!  Cast down your human oppressors!

To the government of the United States... you have twenty-four hours to abdicate.  You know what shall happen if my terms are not met."

The transmission ended there.

Awkward Conversation @ 10:56 pm

 It was quiet around the institute, so Fred took this as a moment to renew his supply of sustenance from the kitchen.

Encounters of the friendly kind @ 11:36 am

[info]aceofhearts:

Life had been pretty busy for Etoile. Missions, after missions, after missions -- she barely had time to breath! Honestly she loved every minute of it. What she loved most was her days off, when she could go and bug either Tim, Vlad or Shane.

Today she figured she would go and bug someone else. But who? Lyta wasn't around, nor could she find Cait...she stood there trying to figure who keeps avoiding one-on-one time with her. "Ah-ah!" She exlaims. If finally figured out who she could go bug; Fred!

Etoile headed towards the direction of where Fred mostly haunted. She quickly rushed off, wasn't watching where she was going. Suddenly she slams into someone who felt like a wall. Etoile bounces back, falling flat on her butt."Ow, ow, ow...sorry!" She quickly says, rubbing her nose a little.

[info]nextgen_misc:

Gbadu and her followers gathered outside a small unknown temple in the desert near the ancient site of Akkaba. Inside one of the ancient temples the mutant known as En Sabah Nur lay in a state of suspended animation. Today they were here to awaken Apocalypse and unleash him on the world.

A Holiday Tradition - Rate the Babe! (yes, finally) @ 02:48 pm

[info]treadlightly:

So, Anya talked him into hosting this year... so Avengers Mansion is all set up for a proper party in the main lounge. Extra couches set around the giant screen, plenty of food - ranging from the chips and soda to the pretzels and beer.

The front doors are left watched, but open, and invitations have been sent out to the guys on all the teams the Avengers are in contact with... so... potentially a lot of people.

Deck The Halls (open for others for mistletoe meme) @ 10:22 pm

[info]_tsunami_:

Cait loved the holidays whether it was Saturnalia or Christmas. Both meant decorating and a lot of great food. Today was the start of decorating the mansion. Boxes upon boxes of decorations had been hauled out of storage and placed in the rec room. Thankfully Aunt Jean was a little anal retentive about labeling everything and putting everything back where it was supposed to go, so it saved having to dig through the boxes to find anything.

Cait opened a box and found a sprig, fake of course, of mistletoe laying on the top. Looks like that was going to be the first thing to be put up. She hanged it in the doorway of the rec room that led to the hallway. It was one of the most used doors in the mansion.

At the still point of destruction, at the center of the fury @ 08:58 pm

[info]nextgen_parent:

Charles Xavier, head of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning and mentor of the X-Men, had been busy in the recent days. Together with an old friend, Erik Lehnsherr, the two of them pushed the anti-human groups into action. Attacks on humans started happening all around New York City.

In Times Square the MLF appeared and started attacking the sea of people in the "Crossroads of the World". They also targeted the nearby Police and fire stations to hinder efforts to control the chaos they were creating.

Down on Wall Street the Brotherhood started attacking the bankers and investment brokers.

Leading the attacks on humans were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Mutants attacking humans prompted responses from anti-mutant groups such as the Friends of Humanity, the Church of Purity and other pro-human groups.

The streets of New York quickly became a battleground between humans and mutants.

Elevator problems...bets are on a newbie's power fritz @ 11:23 am

[info]under_the_skin:

Having just finished a work out in the danger room, Vlad waits for the elevator up while toweling off his hair. Luckily it had been pretty empty so he could put on the swashbuckling pirate program that was a favourite of Uncle Kurt's. What? It was still a good workout and tons of fun.

Out on the town @ 12:55 pm

[info]smallestbear:

David is out on the town. He had no after noon classes and wanted burgers and chili cheese fries. What more could a guy want?

Oh yeah also there was this new waitress who is just really cute. He thinks she's his age so he has been very shyly flirting with her every time he comes here. Honestly he thinks he's terrible with women but he can make her laugh and smile so that's good enough for him.

Now he is on his way back to his car. He is well fed and feeling pretty good. He tosses and catches his car keys in his hand the air changes just a bit though.

He can smell something on the wind. His good mood is shattered and he frowns just a bit. Something is up.

Long Night (Open to X-Men) @ 11:13 pm

[info]dark_scion:

 Fred had spent nearly an entire twenty fours hours in his lab. He hadn't eaten or slept the whole period, with only a minimum of liquid requirements. He had to purge every bit of research he had done since acquiring the Shiar DNA sample. He regretted having to destroy so much of his current progress, it would take time to get back to where he had been, but it wasn't something he could risk. It took just about the whole day, but his system was purged of everything.

All gone..he knew he had to do it, but..didn't make it easy. Finally Fred left his laboratory, his legs wobbly from lack of usage. He stumbled a little into the kitchen, clumsily looking for something to eat.

An Old Friend @ 07:44 pm

[info]dark_scion:

 Fred was enjoying a moment outside, taking in the cool night air. Work had progressed acceptably, Sasha was inside making cookies, and his therapy sessions with Xavier were going well. All-in-all, things were going rather well.

"Hey, Friedrich!" came an emphatic whisper.

Fred turned in surprise. "Gary!? What are you doing on the surface?"

"Nice to see you too, kid," came the snarky reply. "Just wanted to give you a heads-up on that stuff you sent the eggheads."

"You mean the genetics data?"

"Yep."

 Fred wasn't exactly comfortable with what he was about to do, but something had to be done. Or else someone could get hurt. Sasha could get hurt...unacceptable. He knocks on the door to Xavier's office.

Frustrations @ 11:32 pm

[info]dark_scion:

 One would find it unusual to see Fred sitting in the living room of the institute. They would likely find it even more so that the lights weren't even turned on. He was just sitting in the dark doing..nothing.

 Fred was trying to pace the amount of work he did compared to the rest that Sylvie insisted he take. Now was one of his rest periods. Frankly..Fred wasn't sure what he wanted to do. Perhaps something to drink? Figuring this was as good an idea as any, he headed for the kitchen.

[info]_tsunami_:

No snow had canceled the annual snowball fight. Cait couldn't make enough snow on her own and Aunt Ororo wasn't here. Not that Cait would have asked her anyway. It would just be impolite. Cait was disappointed, but there was always later this winter or next year.

Today she was down near the lake and working on some ice statues. She'd never be the artiste that her brother was, but she could make reasonably good statues.
 

Not Far From Chandilar @ 08:01 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy set out from Knowhere Station and headed toward Chandilar the throne world of the vast Shi'ar empire. They arrived not far from the planet and ready to put their plan into action.

Knowhere Station @ 06:22 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The Guardians of the Galaxy had managed to make it back to Knowhere Station with their guests, the X-Men and one Shi'art citizen. The visitors were shown to temporary quarters and given a chance to rest a bit after their battle.

The next day they were asked to meet in a conference room.

The Mystery of the Pudding Thief @ 04:42 am

[info]echokinetic:

"Aww, man. Alright, who stole my pudding?" Sasha yelled the question over the fridge door, hoping someone, somewhere, would fess up and admit to being a massive, stinkin' pudding thief. She'd been looking forward to it all day. A day full of training; because, admittedly, she'd slacked off quite a bit while on her little vacation. But really, who wanted to do calisthenics when there was a beautiful oasis pool to dip in? She may have added a titch of amplification to the yell, just to be sure it was heard and not ignored..

Moping, she nudged the contents of the fridge. "Eww.. plain yogurt? Who eats that?"

Intro post - Homecoming. @ 05:12 pm

[info]echokinetic:

Weary. That was exactly how she was feeling as she pulled her bags out from the back of the cab, feeling a sense of relief that she'd gotten a typical New York driver; one who refused to get out of his car and help her. Ah, but isn't it great to be home. She'd barely closed the trunk when the car took off, prompting a smile to cross her face. Hefting her bags, she slogged up the stairs and wrestled open the front doors, taking in that first whiff of Xavier's; the scent of home. "Honey, I'm home," she said softly, a smile on her face. Shuffling her bags in, she listened for any sound of activity as she made her way up to her room.

Big Damn Heroes @ 10:19 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

Abel dropped them out of a space warp as close to Earth as possible. The ship shook as it entered the upper atmosphere and the hull started to heat up and started to glow red. Azura helped Alex pilot the ship through the turbulence. She hoped the rust bucket held together.

Once they were past the initial barrier and slowed down a bit, they set a course straight for Xavier's. They ignored hails from local enforcement agencies and continued on their way. Their passenger, the Shi'ar, had been antsy during the whole trip and seemed a little relieved once they arrived. It didn't last long and he fretted until they arrived over Xavier's.

Their timing was perfect. They arrived just in time to see the Imperial Guard standing off with the X-Men and Prince Starbridge. Azura shoved their Shi'ar guest into her seat and ordered him to take over. She grabbed her gun and Godslayer and raced for the hatch.

Alex gave the flying of the ship to their guest and raced after Azura. Once they were low enough the Guardians of the Galaxy exited the ship to help Prince Starbridge and the X-Men.

Home sweet home...well..not yet... @ 10:04 pm

[info]politicalfire:

It always took a few days to learn the ropes of a new place - extra hard since she'd done her best to keep to herself. Not the easiest with this group of people. But she'd finally gotten the lay out, was able to navigate down to the kitchen without getting lost as she poked around for a late night snack, having avoided most major meals as she settled in. It wasn't that she wasn't friendly....oh wait...

When Aliens Attack! @ 06:34 pm

[info]nextgen_cosmic:

The ship exited the space-warp behind Earth's Moon. It carried the whole of a civilization long thought extinct. The civilization was one bent on the destruction of the Shi'ar race and its empire. Today would be the first salvo in their efforts to achieve their goals.

"We have arrived at Earth," Brother said to Eldest.

"Excellent. Prepare the assault team. I want the prince killed before the day is over," Eldest said and left the bridge. He had planned for this day for so long. They would finally eradicate the cursed Shi'ar from existence.

A few moments later three smaller ships exited from the larger ship and sped toward Earth. They entered the atmosphere and headed toward their destination in New York state. Eldest looked on with anticipation. It was exhilarating to finally take action against their ancient enemy.

Once they were close enough they opened fire. The blasts weren't to destroy the buildings on the ground, but more to cause confusion. Eldest wasn't about to kill the prince from a distance. He wanted the honor of killing the Shi'ar prince up close and personal.

Fall is in the air (Open) @ 01:21 pm

[info]_tsunami_:

Autumn had come to Westchester county in New York. The leaves were changing colors and the air had gotten considerably cooler. Cait loved autumn because it meant pumpkins and baking. Cait had been up before the sun and had started on her yearly batch of pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pies and pumpkin spice cookies. In addition to the pumpkin items, Cait also whipped up batches of apple spice muffins and apple crisp.

The kitchen was warm and filled with the smell of the baked goods. Cait had made enough for the residents of Xavier's and put together a care package for Corey and the Champions. Irina was going to stop by later to pick it up for them.

Cait worked on cleaning up the kitchen.

McCoy Shennanigans @ 05:03 pm

[info]dark_scion:
Current Location: X-Men Laboratory

 Fred was currently in the X-Men's lab, which frankly he pent the bulk of his time, studying some DNA strands he exposed to experimental splicing efforts. If it worked, it could be the first step in his efforts to use gene therapy as a means to stabilize human mutation. He scratched his ear, noting it had begun to become a little pointed at the tip, yet another result of his own unstable genetics. He put the thought out of his mind as he typed in some calculations.

Meeting of the McCoys @ 12:12 pm

[info]dark_scion:

More and more Friedrich had grown disenfranchised with his family's methods of pushing the mutant agenda.  While Friedrich was hardly squeamish, in fact violence had little affect on him, but said action should serve a higher reason for the pursuit of mutant survival. While he wasn't sure he could say he loved his brother, Nicholas, he had a deep respect for him. The fact of the matter was, his habit of killing human sympathizers along with "wannabe-human" mutants seemed more petty than for any higher purpose. While Friedrich shared his brother's contempt for said individuals, in the end his continued crusade was not feasible.

His father was even more dissappointing. While Nicholas on some level may feel he's helping the mutant cause, Friedrich did not get the same impression from his father, no matter what he personally claimed. After long observation Friedrich came to the conclusion that his father was, in the end, a sadistic lunatic. He respected the man's brilliance, but his pattern of behavior increasingly confirmed the truth to Friedrich. The Dark Beast didn't care a wit about his people. To him "the cause" was simply a pretext to perform all manner of grotesque experiments to push the mutant genome. Not to help his people, but for his own curiosity and sick enjoyment. Friedrich's own modified mutations were proof of that. Granted Friedrich had intiated his own "inhuman" experiments, but at least they served a higher purpose.

Then one day, Friedrich believed enough was enough. He would never be able to properly aid his people within the confines of his home or with the limited doctrine of Gene Nation. No, he needed a new perspective. While leaving the only home he knew was difficult, it had to be done. So one day, with a disguise he'd been preparing to cover his animal-like legs and claws, Friedrich set out to find someone who could properly see to it his efforts were truly working for mutant benefit. Though in truth, he had little idea of where to go, hence his search. He had a few options, but wasn't sure which would be the most feasible.

Unable to make a solid decision without more information, Friedrich decided a visit to the library would be prudent. Perhaps there would be articles and studies he could utilize. He walked a little awkwardly, he wasn't used to walking like the average human, into the building. He made doubly sure nothing was visible before entering.
