Oh how he hated to pull the, "my parents were murdered by a cult," card, but here it would have to do. He turned to face Sophie dead on, his face contorting in rage. [color=springgreen][b]"Wow! I'm so sorry that you had to deal with all that bullying! It must have been so hard! Having kids beat up on you, and then running home to your parents to cry about it! But, I think I can beat it! You see, my story begins in a small town. Both my parents were mutants, emphasis on the word 'were'! Because, when I was seven years old, a group of anti-mutant cultists, came through, and sacrificed my parents to keep their vengeful god at bay! I had the luck to have been out trick-or-treating, so I missed the show, but I got to see everything when I got back home!"[/b][/color] His body was glowing now, thinking about his parents was taking it's toll. [color=springgreen][b]"But wait, there's more! Because the next seven years of my life were spent, jumping from home to home, until my powers became too hard to control, and I almost killed my foster brother! No one wants a mutant kid, so I ran away, which was not as fun as you may think! I only care about myself, because I'm the only person I've ever had to care about! When no shelter will take you in because you're a freak, and the local kids come to look at you like a zoo animal while you try and sleep in some cold alley, then we can talk!"[/color][b] His body was shining brightly now, and he was struggling to contain the energy. Realizing he was about to give, he scrambled away, before falling onto his knees around twenty feet away and letting out a scream as the glow from his body burst out from around his chest. Panting, he placed one hand on the ground to support himself, his hair dripping with sweat. Sophie bit her lip slightly, covered her ears, and closed her eyes tightly as she listened to Will, then she remembered something; she had heard about him multiple times on the news and online. She remembered that she actually used his story in a class assignment about mutant equality. Sophie rose to her feet and walked up behind him and stood right behind him, just as he shot the beam of energy from his chest. When the blast had subsided, Sophie walked around and to face him, then kneeled in front of him. She then did something she thought she would never do. Sophie wrapped her arms around Will and hugged him as tightly as her small, thin body could allow. [color=00aeef]"I'm sorry.... I had heard about what you went through.... and... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..... "[/color] She said softly, her grip on him tightened yet still remained gentle, as a couple warm tears ran down her cheek and then fell onto his back; she didn't want him to see her cry, especially not cry for him. Will sighed, but didn't resist the hug. [color=springgreen][b]"I don't like to be the sob story. I hate it, but it's all I've got,"[/b][/color] he sighed again and stood back up, shivering against a slight breeze. He really needed a new shirt. [color=springgreen][b]"So, you happy? Exercise complete?"[/b][/color] he asked the professor. He'd respected that man so much, but now, all he could think about was how he was the one who had just made him lose control, for the first time in years. [color=00aeef]"I know how it feels... better than anyone... trust me, nobody would want to be... If it were possible, I bet all mutants would rather be born a human. It would definitely cause a whole lot less heartache..."[/color] Sophie murmered to him then sniffed and wiped the remaining tears away, before she too stood back up. "Yeah we really should get back and get this golden beach babe a new shirt." She said pointing to Will. Francis sighed then nodded to Will.[color=00a651] "Yes that is enough for today. Let's head back to the institute."[/color] He called over to the two. However, before the two could return to the Professor, a black van pulled up and a group of 5 large men came out, holding what looked to be assault rifles. "Are you the ones responsible for the green energy discs in the sky about a few minutes ago?" One of the men called. Francis narrowed his eyes.[color=00a651] "And what if we are? Do you plan on using those illegally obtained guns on us?"[/color] He replied, slowly reaching for the concealed pistol underneath his shirt. "Are you the ones responsible for the green energy discs in the sky?" The man repeated in monotone. Francis glanced back at Sophie and Will then back at the men. [color=00a651]"GET DOWN!"[/color] He ordered then whipped out his pistol and fired once before ducking into the tall grass, hitting one of the men in the shoulder. The man screamed in pain. "They're mutant scum! Leave none standing!" Another yelled, then the group retaliated in rapid gun fire. Sophie instinctively tackled Will to the ground, yet unfortunately didn't make it out unscathed ; a bullet had managed to embed itself into her shoulder as she had tackled Will. She screamed out in pain and curled up on her side as she placed her hand on the bullet hole briefly then removed it. There was blood, lots of blood coming from both sides of her shoulder; a clean shot, yet the bullet still had somehow managed to not hit Will in the process. She reapplied as much pressure as she could on the wound and screamed and cried in pain again. Sophie looked over at Will, breathing heavily and drenched in sweat and tears, trying to focus on him and see if he was alright. [color=00aeef] "H-... hey.... Will... are... are you alright? Are you hurt?"[/color] She asked with a pained yet legitimately concerned expression. Will's face was gave away his emotions easily enough. He was pissed off. He glanced at Sophie's wound and shook his head, letting her know that he was fine. But these fucks who'd shot at them sure weren't going to be. Once more his body began to glow, and the light coiled around him. He didn't bother waiting to strengthen the energy, instead he jumped to his feet, right as it released from his arm. One disc took a man's gun from his hand, another sliced one of his friend's clean through at the torso. The other three didn't even have a chance to shoot their guns before two more discs took off their legs. The third man, the one Latour had shot had his hands up. Will aimed for him and fired off another disc, that finished him off. There weren't any survivors, that was obvious. Will had used his powers for what they were always meant for. Destruction. He rushed to Sophie's side as the glow faded from his body, and looked over at the professor. [color=springgreen][b]"We need to go, like now."[/b][/color] Sophie heard the screams of the men and tried to block them out, but couldn't. She could hear them and she hated hearing it. Finally, the screams for faded away and Sophie slowly got to her feet, after the initial shock had subsided. She placed her good hand on Will's shoulder. [color=00aeef] "Are you ok? And don't lie and say that you are. You just killed 5 people. They aren't going to get back up again. "[/color] Sophie fell silent then sighed and hugged Will. "Thank you for saving us..." She then released Will and walked over to Francis. Francis immediately looked over the injury then made eye contact with her and sighed.[color=00a651] "A clean shot. Can you cauterized it?"[/color] Sophie shrugged and placed her hand on her shoulder and winced as her shoulder was enveloped in flames for a moment. A sizzling sound could be heard as the blood evaporated and the bleeding stopped. Francis looked over at Will then saw the blood and immediately rushed over to him. [color=00a651] "Are you alright? You're covered in blood!"[/color] He asked worried, as he frantically looked Will over. Will shook his head at their concern. His breathing had evened out and he was just noticing the blood on him. Speckled around his body like a Jackson Polluck. He gulped and nodded. [color=springgreen][b]"I'm fine. I'm good, I'm good."[/b][/color] he said. He walked back to the van, a vacant look in his eye, and got into the passenger seat, tapping his fingers on the dashboard, his eyes looking off into some other dimension. Sophie and Francis exchanged a worried glance before they too piled into the car. The car ride from then on was silent and eventually they arrived back. [color=00a651] "Why don't you get yourselves cleaned up and take a nice long shower? You both need one after what just happened..."[/color] He told them as they pulled into the driveway and parked the van. However, something felt... off. It was only until he reached the front door and realized that it was unlocked that Francis assumed the worst. He pulled out his pistol and signaled the other two to stay behind him, then kicked down the door. Francis raised his pistol and aimed at the first thing he saw, while a small fire erupted from her shoulders and blanketed her arms. Francis then realized what was going on and signaled for Sophie and Will to back down, before he too, lowered his pistol.[color=00a651] "Jesus, you mind not breaking the lock to get in? You both must be new students, so I will let you both off with a warning, but next time you break the lock to my front door, there will be serious consequences. Regardless, what can I do for you two? And pardon my appearance, a couple of my students and I had just came back from an unfortunate encounter with a group of Equalists, and I am afraid we did not expect visitors today."[/color] He asked the two young men before him. He turned to Sophie and Will.[color=00a651] "It's alright, you two. Go ahead and hit the showers." [/color] Sophie nodded and put out the flames and glanced at Will and gave him a small grin, before heading to the showers in the basement.
