We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Program
“We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you breaking news from Times Square. An apparent bank robbery gone wrong has resulted in the deaths of at least eleven people at the 1515 Broadway branch of Bank of America. Witnesses report that a masked man entered the bank and held the patrons at gunpoint. The details of what happened next aren’t clear, but it appears the robbery was stopped when a mutant teenage boy lost control of his powers and killed everyone in the bank. The boy fled the scene and remains at large. If you see this boy please contact your local authorities immediately and do not approach him. He is considered extremely dangerous. “

“As you can see behind me, crews are still cleaning up the site and authorities have the area cordoned off and are prohibiting anyone from approaching the bank. Traffic is at a crawl through Times Square and police are suggesting that commuters seek alternate routes.”

“Anti-mutant demonstrators and pro-mutant demonstrators are already on the scene. Police are trying to keep the demonstrations peaceful, but tension is running high.”

	"It does. We need to get down there now. Grab Kailia... we need to make sure we don't get picked out by telepaths. The others are optional, because we need to hurry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rev. Philip Butler stood in front of the television camera.

"We must make no mistake. Mutants are a threat and anyone of them is a potential threat and have they have the power to destroy us all. Every single one of us here today live our lives at the whim of these mutants. Today is a day about us humanity standing up in the face of this danger and this terrifying threat. This is what mutants can do." He motioned to the cordoned off area.

"One single teenager suddenly and tragically ended the lives of ten innocent civilians and one bank robber. Every day that we wait, the more the threat grows and are these mutants held accountable for their actions? No. We have bombs, with more destructive power per pound than any conventional bomb, waiting to go off yet we have no system of tracking them or bringing them to justice. We cannot just stand by and watch the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. Mankind needs to be aware of these mutants and other super powered children. We need to hold them accountable for their actions and the destruction they rain down upon humanity."

Cait was in the rec room with a bunch of the other students at Xavier's when the news report came on. Silence descended upon the room and they all watched intently.

This. Was. Not. Good.

"We need to do something," Cait said as she was already in motion. Never the one to sit by and watch, she ran for the locker room to change into her uniform. The adult X-Men were away on a mission and that left the Young X-Men to deal with this. "Young X-Men, we have a situation developing in Times Square."

	When they arrive on scene, tensions have climbed higher and there is some scuffling between the anti-mutant faction and the pro-mutant faction. There are four armored Church of Purity figures near the fringe of the crowd, but they make no move to intervene. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A mutant with the ability to create bursts of light used his powers to create a few bursts in front of Rev Butler. That was the match that lit the fuse to the powder keg. The figures in armor acted, moving toward the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait ran and tried to get between the person in armor before they reached the crowd. Water. She needed a water source. The air was too dry to pull some out of the air. She noticed some people in the crowd carrying bottles of water. She pulled the water out of the bottles and formed it into a bubble in front of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
