Harry liked to volunteer at the animal shelter, the animals could really use a friend and he liked hanging out with them. He also would use his healing powers there to help treat the sick and hurt animals and to the abused animals this really brought them out of the fear of him as a stranger and made them friendly with him. This was also the place where he learned a lot about how to use is powers and he liked healing animals more than people considering all the hassles that came with healing people where animals were just happy that he helped them. This had also been the place where he found out about his abilities other side almost seven years ago.

He had been trying to heal an abused chocolate lab but something happen he tripped up when activating his healing power. Instead of healing up the injuries they got worse. Both the dog and him panicked, the dog moved away yelping and Harry backed up against the wall in horror trying to figure out what happened and how to turn off his ability which he was having trouble doing. The lab sensed his horror about what he had done and came back over to him in a way of letting him know everything would be ok. As Harry calmed done he was able to shut it off with great concentration. It took him a while to regain the confidence in his control to start using his healing again once he did the first thing he used his powers for was to heal the damage he had caused. His mom had been very concerned about what had happen but ultimately was able to come up with some ideas for what to do if it happened again.

After he finished helping out at the animal shelter Harry started making his way back towards the x-factor plaza. He was slightly in disguise as to avoid the paparazzi which he really didn’t feel like dealing with today not that there was ever a day he liked to deal with them. It wasn’t much of a disguise just sunglasses and a baseball cap but it would be enough to hide him from a quick glance.

Robots had her surrounded, each one with a different material for its skin or a different weapon mounted on it, but Toni Rhodes was not afraid.  The first one was the easiest; she took it down with a simple electrical blast, shorting out all of its systems at once.  Another electrical blast gave her some space, but didn't have the effect on the rest that it had on the first.

She shifted tactics, hitting the next one with a hard blast of infra-red radiation, melting a hole right through its head.  Against the third, she used a microwave burst, producing a similar effect, though with a greater disruption of its circuits.

A fourth unleashed a barrage of missiles, tracking her.  She shifted again, throwing up radio signals at it, manipulating the signal back to the robot, destroying it.  A fifth blasted her with lasers, but she absorbed the first barrage, then took control of the second, sending them right back long their path into the gun-barrel. 

A flier swooped down at her, peppering the area with bullets.  She threw up an electromagnetic screen, deflecting them, and rode those same electromagnetic lines into the air, first blinding the robot with a visible light barrage, then hitting it with an electromagnetic pulse to knock out its memory circuits.

As she landed, she was assaulted by another robot, narrowly avoiding a blow to the head.  She hit it with electricity, light blasts, even radio waves, but those had no effect.  She shifted again, throwing x-rays at it, perceiving the robot's interior like an x-ray technician would.  There.  Weak spot just in the center of its chest.  She grappled some of the scrap metal with an electromagnetic field, and threw it at the robot, taking it down.

When the dust settled, she looked up to the control booth of the Avengers' training room.  Not as fancy as the Danger Room over at Xaiver's, but much more homey.  "How'd I do?"

It was a modified kjethya scoutcraft. Big enough for passengers, but still small and simple enough for one man to fly.

Or, in this case, one seventeen-year-old princeling.  His Imperial Highness Starbridge Xavier Neramani hadn't been to the planet he was now orbitting since three summers ago. Various formal duties and complications had kept getting in the way of his visits with his father.

The father for whom he was mentally calling as his ship came screeching into the upstate New York sky. Starbridge managed to land safely at the Institute's designated area, but it was close. And until he'd gotten help, nothing counted as 'safe' anyway.
