Rose was out with Tina tonight, probably having a great time at the film festival, which left Joey at the school feeling a bit bored. There was nothing on television, really, Ana-Pants was gone home, so he couldn't bug her until she tried to optic blast him. Kitten was enjoying her new girlfriend from That TV Show, and...when he was done counting, that was every last one of Joey's available friends. Cassidy was into his new girlfriend, too, and Misha was out and about as well.

She let of a blast of electricity, the voltage enough to power a city block for the better part of a day.  She followed quickly with infra-red radiation, then microwaves.  Radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays.  Toni was immune to the effects of the radiation itself, and the room would scrub itself down afterwards, but the effect of expending that much power left her feeling both better (not unlike cooling down after a day in the hot sun) and worse (tired, burned out, spent...).

She finally stopped and carefully unclipped her armbands, placing them in the unit that popped up, and replacing them with the next pair in the sequence.

Thirty-six hours this time.  Thirty-six where she hadn't otherwise expended any injury or taken in any additional power.  She'd started feeling hot... too hot, as the timeline had gotten closer.  She could make it longer if she was actively using her abilities, though she rather needed to expend any extra she took in fairly quickly.

She sighed as she snapped the armbands into place.  That brief moment where her energy was entirely unregulated was a terrifying one, the power surging up and making her every nerve stand on end, but it passed as the devices performed their function, regulating her body's energy flow.

Mutants were supposed to be immune to the effects of their own powers.  Why the hell were hers so screwed up?

She made her way back upstairs, to the kitchen, finding a frozen dinner in the freezer.  She popped it into the microwave and took a big step back and away.  She didn't need to pick up any stray rads.

Three minutes, according to the little digital timer.

(This scene takes place an one hour after this.)


Ben creeps out his room window quietly, trying not to alert his sister. His parents said he couldn't go out, and that's fine. They didn't say his alter-ego couldn't go out; that was his story and he was sticking to it. He creeps down the side of the building, hand over hand as quickly as possible, until he reaches the alley floor. Once he touches down, he makes a run for it, heading toward Kassi's.

His parents could ground him until he was ninety, but only after his date.

After that whole incident with the Nazis in Central Park Chris decided that it might be wise to stop by the Avengers mansion a few days later as long as things weren't to busy. That whole incident was weird, well at least by most peoples standards still it seemed like a good idea to check in.

Chris teleported to the front gates of the Avengers mansion and rang the buzzer. It seemed rude to just teleport in since he really hadn't been around there in a long while.

"I should have known you wouldn't sleep much," Natasha said in Russian as she walked around the living room with Nick against a shoulder. "Your brother and sister didn't sleep much either." Her voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke to her son. The child didn't know what sleep meant, but it just proved that he was a Stark and a Romanov.

Natasha stopped walking for a moment and took a quick peak to see if Nick was sleeping. His eyes were closed and a thumb was shoved in his mouth. Finally! She had been walking the living room for the past hour trying to get him back to sleep. It was three in the morning and Natasha wanted to be snuggled up next to her husband and asleep.

Five more minutes and then she can put him down and go to bed.
