"...You don't mean. Are you saying I'm a mutant?"

three identical blonde women turned the corner... at Han's realization they smiled.

"and now we see the lightbulb finally turning on... it's such a dim bulb..."

"Really, the brainpower gathered here would barely turn a hamster wheel..."

"Och... Cookoos, get yur behinds back in lab."

"It's boring Ms. sinclair" the triplet's answered as one. "could be worse... we might be stuck with the other dead heads at the smithsonian..."

the three girls continued on their way... as Rhane growled at them... Literally growled... she was now in her Hybrid wolf form... the hollywood vision of a werewolf.

"Calm done Rhane... it wouldn't look good if the staff went around biting the student body..."

She shifted back to her human form and smiled at Han. "Aye... we be all mutants here... three and a half generations of X-men under one roof. now are you feeling mighty Gifted at the moment?" she smiled at the student.

"well I am thinking if i am a mutant my powers may not be limited to invisibility. Maybe i am just bending light. And if that is so."I turn towards the triplets."Hey girls!"When they turn I concentrate and cause a bright flash of light that causes any light sensitive object to go haywire.(Including lightsensitive beauty products...hehe.)

and you are hit with a very powerful headache. you feel as if your brain is trying to gnaw it's way out of your skull.

Robert smiled and shoo'ed the girls away. "Uh... the Stephford Cookoos are telepaths... three minds acting as one. together, they could be the most powerful telepathic force on the planet... I really don't recommend irritating them."

"and be a wee bit understanding... there were 5 of them... imagine feeling two of your sisters die in your mind... they're good kids... they just need a firm hand." Rahne said as she watched the three girls leave.

she reached into her pocket and pulled out some asprin for Han. "In a place with... about 9 telepaths... you learn to carry some asprin around. and yes, you will be taught mental defenses by one of our better teachers."

[Fowlick]

"Why would they put that many telepaths in the school?"I say taking the aspirin."Either way. It was interesting. I don't only have invisibility but I can actually bend light. The applications it could be used for. I mean think about it. Holograms, memory movies, blinding the enemy, incapacitating the enemy, and if it is bending light I should be able to focus it. I need the training though. Heat out of light. Oh this is great."I say looking up and down at my self.

Robert begins laughing and looks at Rahne, "Guess we can skip the whole "being a mutant isn't a curse" part of the tour... When does Lila Cheney get back from her world concert tour?"

"Why? Lila's a porter... we would need... oh... Alison Blair is touring with Lila... they should be back later this week I think. I hope she likes the idea of being a mentor to a student..." Rahne grinned.

Rahne turns to Han. "Och... Telepaths have as much right to be here... where else would they learn the proper use of their powers. 'sides... we got the strongest telepaths here. Dani, who you met in the foyer, has a small telepathic power... but that's because it's tied in to her real ability... so I suggest you stay quiet about 'paths... she can bring your nightmares to life."

They heard someone swearing in Thai. "and that would be Xian... another telepath... nice lady, a bit mothery... but also another powerful mutant." Rahne looked at Roberto. "and it doesn't take a telepath to know that Sam and Dani now wish they were doing the tour guide duty." She gave him an infectious smile.

"C'mon... out in the back we got tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts..."

[Fowlick]

"I am not really into sports. I do physical labor yes but if there is no other reason than getting a goal achieved I don't do it."

[Katganistan]

"I...I'm d-d-doing the b-best I c-c-can!" Andy stammered, her voice strained and close to tears with this strange and threatening person standing close to her, a child hidden in the stall behind her, Marvel Girl (hopefully) on the way, and now Sandstorm calling. With one last tap of her tablet, it went black -- as she both wiped the footage from the museums's computers -- and sent it home to the sandbox back at the mansion.
There.... it's d-d-done." She backed into a corner, shaking hard, tablet clutched to her chest, never taking her eyes from the menacing figure in front of her.

Andrew removed his hat from his head and bowed “Always a pleasure to see you again Andy.” He said, he straightened up and put his fedora back on his head slightly to one side as he opened the door to the washroom.

He was about to exit into the hall way before he stopped and turned around

“Oh, one more thing. Is Sophie holding any prejudice towards you?” asked Andrew to Andy

"ANDREW?" Andy shot to her feet, eyes wide, "But you... I saw... what are you... what's going.... wait!"

[JuNii]

Behind Andrew, a small stream of sand poured quietly out from the vent. landing into a small pile of sand on the floor.

[Ublia]

Conrad would feast he could sense Hartman would soon arrive. Oh he would feast.

“I was him, though now I am many more. Ghost of Mutants, a good twist. You kill us, and we come back to haunt you.” Said Andrew. He then took a step towards Andy. “I don’t hold what happened to me against you. Though I don’t know if the people who I left behind do. So then, do they?” asked Andrew again.

"What is there to do here?"

[JuNii]

"What is there to do here?"

Roberto grinned... Rahne shook her head. "No 'Berto.. we wait for Logan. if anything happens in the danger room..."

"Aww Rahne..."

"nae buts, that's Logan's responsibility..."

they stopped infront of the door marked 'headmaster' and knocked.

"Mr Logan... got a new student to Restister..."

[Katganistan]

"ANDREW?" Andy shot to her feet, eyes wide, "But you... I saw... what are you... what's going.... wait!"

“I was him, though now I am many more. Ghost of Mutants, a good twist. You kill us, and we come back to haunt you.” Said Andrew. He then took a step towards Andy. “I don’t hold what happened to me against you. Though I don’t know if the people who I left behind do. So then, do they?” asked Andrew again.

"I... no one's said anything to me..." Andy bit her lip. "I... I guess I don't... understand what's happened. How... how are you here? I saw..." Her vision blurred for a moment, and she fought to keep from crying. "I saw the plane... how did you...?"

She laid her had gently on his arm. "Please... you have to come back with us... Sophie..."

[Ublia]

Hartmann returned with a smile on his face, "Sir the teachers are mostly gone. And it's wide open for the kill." Conrad then turned "Well looks like we're going to be on the hunt" he grinned. Looking over at the school he could almost taste the prey. The fear and the raw energy will be most apetising. For to long I've withered away for to long I've hidden myself away beneath this mask. I'll devour every last morsel.

Ruth Aldine stops in the hallway... she cocks her head as if listening to something... she smiles then turns around. she heads into one of the dorm room.

seconds later, Laura Kinney, Mercury, and Blindfold step out and split up. each heading for a different part of the mansion. each with a determined look on their face.

Blindfold finds Karima Shapandar in her recharge station and punches the access codes to wake her up. "wh... what?" Karima asked as her systems brought her on line... she looked at the blind mutant.

"It's time Karima... the reason why I asked you to stay here."

"they're coming?" the Omega Sentinal asked as she ran a diagnostic check on her weaponry.

"Yes... it is time to be both Police officer and Sentinel..."

Karima's eyes went blank. "accessing databanks... scanning for hostiles."

Blindfold smiled.

Laura sat at the chair of the mansion's in house doctor. Cecilia Reyes looked at the young clone.

she sighed. "They're coming... now?"

Laura nodded. "Blindfold is rarely wrong..."

"Damnit... THIS is why I didn't want to stay here..."

"Doctor," Laura spoke a matter of factly, "Many students would die... children doctor... if you are not where you are supposed to be..."

Cecilia cursed as she grabbed her medical bag. "C'mon, let's get going. Grab those boxes there... I did a little prepping on my own."

Cessily Kincaid lead the mutant known as Magik to Cerebra, inside the Stepford Cookoos were already waiting. "We got the message... The Omega Sentinel is scanning the grounds... Dr Reyes and X-23 are moving to the underground bunker... we picked up the outgoing message... they're on their way. Rahne and Dani are being alerted now."

Cessily turned to Magik. "you know your job... .right?"

Port the students to the danger room. do not port Hartmann... any injured students gets ported to the bunker."

Cessily nodded... "great... places everyone... lets show these loosers the huge mistake in attacking a school full of Mutants."

Dani finished wiping down the counter when she paused... she looked out the window at several of the students relaxing on the grounds...

'oh shit... Sam!" Dani screamed.

"What?" the tall instructor looked up as he put away the cleaning supplies.

"Death.... all around us..." Dani staggered back. "Oh Hela... students!"

Sam knew that Dani was a Valkyrie of Asgard... and that the 'death vision' as she calls it, is one of her powers...

Dani fell silent as Rahne ran into the Kitchen. "Dani..."

"Got it Esmee." Dani turned to Sam. "Gather the team... we're on defensive this time." she smiled as sam looked confused and Rahne grinned back in her Hybrid wolf form.

"This is what we're going to do Sam..."

Umayma formed up behind Andrew and looked at Andrea. "is everything ok?" she could hear the gunfire getting closer. "into the stalls... quickly..."

A purifier kicked in the door and began to spray the area with bulllets... but after a couple of shots, he was literally buried in umayma's sand. the others outside began to shoot the mound of sand that was slowly smothering the assailant.

Ms Summers, Ms Pryde... we could use a little help here...

“Bloody Idiots don’t they ever learn” said Andrew moving towards the door.

He stepped into the opening and lifted his hands; fire leapt from them and quickly engulfed the oncoming purifiers. They slowly burnt and fell to the ground.

“I was him, though now I am many more. Ghost of Mutants, a good twist. You kill us, and we come back to haunt you.” Said Andrew. He then took a step towards Andy. “I don’t hold what happened to me against you. Though I don’t know if the people who I left behind do. So then, do they?” asked Andrew again.

“Bloody Idiots don’t they ever learn” said Andrew moving towards the door.

He stepped into the opening and lifted his hands; fire leapt from them and quickly engulfed the oncoming purifiers. They slowly burnt and fell to the ground.

Andrew turned back to Andy “wouldn’t that be nice.” Said Andrew his face relaxing from rage allowing sandstorm to deal with more oncoming purifiers.

“Back at the school watching as the leaves changed color, and then finally to the days of winter when a blanket of white covers the school grounds. I always loved winter. Sophie was always a fall person though she enjoyed winter with me” said Andrew and now he seemed to be starring off into nothing

“But, I can never go back. I’m gone, I’m...dead, dead with a job to do.” Said Andrew then snapping back into reality.

“I am a ghost now. One to educate. My goal is to show the governments we can co exist peacefully. Though as soon as any of our rights are inflicted on I will act. I knew about this purifier group and came here when I heard about their planned attack; they have been following me much as I have been following them.” Andrew said

He looked towards the smaller windows at the side wall of the washroom. Hey were small enough that a person could crawl through.

“Until we meet again Andy.” Said Andrew raising his cane.

“I’m in Washington may as well pay a trip to the prez, reaffirm his mutant position.” He went walking towards the window. Before he could get to the window to break it, Kitty Pryde walked through the wall of the washroom and grabbed Andrew by the neck

“You’re not going anywhere Mr. Le Roy. You’ve been late for class” she said

“Andy, are you alright?” Shadowcat asked

[JuNii]

Umayma formed up behind Andrew and looked at Andrea. "is everything ok?" she could hear the gunfire getting closer. "into the stalls... quickly..."

He stepped into the opening and lifted his hands; fire leapt from them and quickly engulfed the oncoming purifiers. They slowly burnt and fell to the ground.

Umayma screamed as Andrew's flames roasted the purifiers.

She reformed into her human guise and rolled away from Andrew. "Fuck, that HURTS!" she screamed as the purifiers slowly died.

She slowly got to her feet as Ms Pryde came up. "About time..." she muttered to herself. then she was shocked that Ms Pryde was more concerned about Andrew's Tardiness and not the armed men running around shooting people.

Conrad needed to regain his energy. When he emerged from the cellar he was dripping with blood in his hand a knife. Hartmann gulped as he saw his master walk forward. "Sir is.." "No Hartmann not completely if anything it just restored some decaying muscle matter." He then took off his glove the hand was quite decayed. "Have the bodiews incinerated or whats left of them." he smiled once more.

As Conrad emerged from his room he wore a black trench coat. The armband that used to bear the infamous SPD symbol and deaths head had also been removed. He then placed the fedora atop his hooded head. "How many?" he then asked looking from his study as Hartmann entered. "We know some of the teachers left sir" "Oh and sir nthe device has been placed in the room." Conrad then nodded "Very good the last thing we need is any evidence turning up. Shame my sons couldn't be here. It would've been like old times." he dazed off for a moment "Sir?" Conrad then came to "I suggest we get ready. Oh and tell the men to stun not kill. I feed on the living." he then reached over to a case pulling out a ling swordunsheathing it he chuckled "You know were I got this?" Hartmann merely shrugged "Arabia 1967. When I was being employed by the Soviets they wanted me to find a rare artifact that they thought was some sort of weapon. it turned out they were right. But they didn't get it." "Why sir?" "Because. I killed the team and took the artifact for myself." he then walked away.

The men were armed with P90s and MP9 submachine guns. Loaded with the special bullets of course. "Remember I don't want the whole school find seven and then bring them to me. Remember you'll be rewarded." Hartmann then nodded to them. "Are you certain these men can do it?" Conrad looked over "But of course sir. They're the best." "How do you now that?" Conrad asked "Because sir I trained them. A chopper will be here in thirty minutes if we need an escape and we have the device ready." Hartmann then pointed at the large metal box being loaded onto the SUV. "Very good. Take the men and lauch your attack from the rear." "What about you sir?" Hartmann asked curiously "I'm going to knock at the front door." Conrad nodded . Before starting to walk down the drive way as if going on a stroll.

[Xaviers school for gifted youngsters]

“Sorry, I was a little distracted with some of these purifiers.” Said Kitty to Umayma

“So Andrew, what’s new. You having fun creating fire balls and killing people in a museum reflecting the history of human beauty”

“That’s incorrect Ms.Pryde. I kill murders.” Said Andrew.

“You sound like Magneto” said Kitty disgusted

“Wrong! Magneto killed the innocent. I kill the guilty” Said Andrew

“Please, you’re just a 15 year old kid who’s just had a hard few months.” Said Kitty pryde, still with a stiff grasp on Andrews neck

“My Childhood was over the day you took me on that mission. That day when I almost was killed!” yelled Andrew, rage entering his eyes

“You’re pathetic and selfish. Your rich powerful and had a girlfriend waiting for you except you ditch out because your having problems. Get use to it. I’ve had to deal with it for years” Said Kitty Pryde

Andrew stopped and a dazed look entered his eyes and he smiled. “Ms. Pryde you have about three seconds to phase us out until a sniper on a rooftop shoots us both in the head.”

A second passed and not taking any chances Kitty did as Andrew had said. It was just what Andrew needed he slipped through Kitty’s grasp out into the door way of the washroom.

“I’ll send you a post card!” Andrewyelled. He took a deep breath in and then out. On the outward gasp smoke filled the room and surrounding hallways. As the smoke clear it was also clear that Andrew had escaped again, like a ghost.

Yelling filled the halls of the museum “Police!” the voices yelled. The authorities had finally arrived

[President Mathias]

Nathan heard the police and quickly realized there would be far too many for him to trick in any way. Twas to be expected, they were in the country's capital. He had an idea and tricked one of the soldiers into shooting him in several non-fatal locations; a bullet to the leg, a bullet to the side, and a bullet in the arm. It hurt, quite badly, and almost made him lose his concentration. Finally, he had the soldier walk away to deal with a more dangerous mutant, that didn't exist.

His plan was that when somebody decided to investigate, they'd have the poor injured bystander. Not even a mutant. The government would no longer be dealing with a mutant extermination, but will have shot innocent people. The news loved sob-stories, and this one would put some pressure on the government.

[Katganistan]

Andy got up, looking embarrassed and disgusted with herself, and opened the bathroom stall, picking up the little boy who'd been hiding there. "You were AWESOME," she told him as he hugged her hard, "brave little man, you. We'll get you back to your mom in no time."

She looked over at Kitty and Umayma. "You all right?" she asked her roommate, her eyes darkening with concern. She realized how silly a question it was -- Umayma had been fighting for her life long before Andy even knew she had powers, but she still worried.

Her eyes changed again, hooded and sharp with banked anger, controlled tightly.

"I can't believe.... I felt guilty over causing his death.... and here he is playing games with people's lives." There was a tight, hard edge to her voice that bespoke deep anger, and disgust.

[Lost heros]

Adam was in the hallway outside the washrooms. A group of purifiers had stormed into the hallway intent on killing all the mutants in the area. A group of about 6, Adam couldn't tell from all the gun shots and dodging of the bullets, stayed behind to kill Adam, while some went down the hall, others into the washroom, and the rest into the room nextdoor.

Adam struck down two of the purifiers by sending the red spikes from Hellapawn into their groin area. He had paralyzed another by accidentally stabbing him in the neck, when Adam aimed or his back. He had cut off two of the purifiers hands that held the guns and he thruster the last red spike into the last purifier's stomach area.

Adam heard the police call and crawled over to the water fountains near by. He leaned down on them and slowly drank the water. He was bloody; some of the blood was his, but majority of it was purifier blood. He had gotten shot once in his right leg near the end of the fray, and one of the purifier's lightly stabbed his under arm. Both were minor injuries, but as soon as Adam began to rest, they hurt like hell.
