Damon Fawkes

location: Black bird
Tattoo count: 2 wolves 1 spider



Damon walked at the pace set by Cassandra. He didn't want to push her too badly and make her injuries worse. That and beast was really not light at all. The wolves helped him feel better about being exposed like this, but thankfully nothing happened. As they got onto the black bird the wolves moved to the entrance where they promptly sat down and proceeded to act as gargoyles.

Damon gently put beast down as Cassandra did and made sure beast's head wasn't tossed too much. He heard oohed over the radio and concern swept his features. A down teammate. He nodded at Cassandra's request. "Okay just...make sure to take care of your arm too" He moved off the bird and snapped at the two wolves who fell into place on either side of him. He pulled his bow of and knocked an arrow in case anything decided to leap out at him and started making his way toward oshea.



The spider soared though the air and missed its target. As it flew, it was pushed away by the evil person and landed on the ground, but at least the good wolf was able to do something. And the witch was distracted. It waved its legs before attempting to crawl up scarlett witch's leg. If it couldn't get a face grab, it could at least try to keep distracting this being.

Ayita Dyrkin

{"All men are made of water."}





Blood.

All things were filled with blood. If you poked enough holes in it, cut enough slices. Closed your jaws upon the throbbing life source. That red flowed out and all men died without that vital nessecity. Ayita was bound by this law as was her prey. With a snarl her jaws had closed upon the woman's arm. It was not the preferred target, the cooler human mind noted. But it was better than nothing. Now blood filled her mouth as her fangs tore into the thin hide of the human woman. Human or mutant, man or woman. It made no difference to the wolf, nor the woman, as they brought their forepaws to the earth. As they wrenched back with victory in their feral eyes, pulling for every ounce of taunt muscle.

The wolf snarled as it yanked harder back, and Ayita shook her head. Wrenching the arm back and forth as she applied every ounce of pressure to the human's flesh. The wolven instinct warned her to get the two legged woman down to the ground. To continue to press this attack. It wanted blood and Ayita agreed. She felt her own wounds ache and she was not in the mood to be gentle. To hold to petty human morals. This was a hunt, this was a kill. For danger was thick in air and she was not keen to suffer for the lack of caution. Even if that was the brutal Northern caution that was so final. This woman was dangerous and she doubted that the Scarlett Witch would show mercy should Ayita be in her position. The shifter yanked and tugged and shook her head. The overwhelming chant of her mind forming a primitive battle cry. She would bring her prey to the earth. Their prey would not rise. But- Ayita's mind echoed with a cold certainty- a wolf would.

Oshea Jackson


"Be careful who you make an enemy of, 'cause his only thought is ta get you before you get him."



Oshea is jolted awake by a force benevolent. Whosoever intervened on his behalf he would make sure to pray to later. He clambered up onto his feet and placed a single hand on the wall beside him. He tried to hop, but the slightest vibration ziplined up into his leg and dispersed its unforgiving ache all throughout his lower back and nestled itself amidst his broken leg. He was not going to get far on his own. Not to mention, it would be a long time before he could run again--though he was a mutant, and a speedster at that, so perhaps his body healed faster than normal--regardless, if he made it out of here whole, he'd have to re-evaluate exactly what his purpose is at the Institute. No speedster was of any use with a bum leg; nor was he any use with sundered confidence.

"C--came this far. . . can't S-S-S-ARGHR! Can't... stop now!"

There was not much which would aid in relieving his sole good leg from bearing the weight of what used to be Oshea's dominant leg. He could feel the arm meant to support him preparing to give way, and so he obliged his body's forewarning and sat near the end of the hallway closer to the entrance in hopes one of his teammates (injured or not) would come rescue him. God knows he needed it. If there was one thing Oshea did know, it's that he'd even his trifle with Quicksilver soon as he was better.

{"I need to work on my catchphrases"}




Allison followed Marygold in to see Ayita and Scarlet Witch in battle. She also saw a spider scurrying around and before she could freak out and jump on the nearest crate, she remembered that Damon was around and helping and that it was his spider. Ayita had Scarlet Witch, but even Allison could tell that she could use their help.

Marygold recommended she use her new gift. Allison hesitated a bit. Sure, she had a new power, but she had no clue how it worked or to what limit. What if she hurt Ayita or Damon's spider? Still, she couldn't just stand there not doing anything, "Ok, I'll try.."

She looked at a crate and lifted a hand, preparing to lift it. After a bit of effort, the crate rose up. She tried to contain a happy dance. After, she looked at Scarlet Witch, bringing her hand (and thus..the box) forward. "Hey Witch, eat crate!" With that, she flung the crate with her mind at her foe. It hit directly and knocked the woman backwards, hoping it would give Damon, Ayita, or Marygold a chance to contain her. "Oh yeah! I did it!"

Cassandra Reed
Beast's head injury seems to be the worst of it. The slash on his arms isn't too horrible, but that head injury is not the best. The first aid kit is well stocked luckily. Cassandra will be able to stabilize his injury with what she's got in the kit, and she'll also be able to patch up her arm as well.

Damon Fawkes and Oshea Jackson
Damon gets back to the power plant, the sounds of Wolverine and Sabretooth can be heard off to the side. Once inside, Damon can see the others with Scarlet Witch, but Starkette, Quicksilver, and Oshea aren't visible when he first enters. He'll be able to see a hallway, and finds Oshea there, barely able to move with a horribly broken leg and his face all bloody.

Guinevere Stark
Quicksilver groans slightly, "Usually you don't meet the parents until after the first date," he manages to say, and Tony glares at him. He turns back to Guin, "Don't think that we are finished here, we'll continue this conversation after this". He moves over to look at what she has done with the console so far, popping open the front of his mask as he did so. He frowned slightly, looking it over carefully. "Your going to need more than just tape and the wires that were already in the console to fix that. Those wires are completely useless, your going to need new ones and solder them together, not using electrical tape. Though that would be good for after their together to keep anyone from getting zapped". Quicksilver can be seen out of the corner of her eye, getting up onto his feet again.



Marygold Isley




Marygold watched as Ayita bit into Scarlet Witch's arm, and was glad for something good to happen, but that small little bit of happiness disappeared when she saw that she had no intentions of letting go. The woman was looking around frantically for something to throw at her when Allison's crate came flying at her, causing her to finish falling backwards and landing on the ground.

Scarlet Witch managed to send another crate at Ayita, and hit her in the head, causing her to let go. She was clearly hurting, and was starting to get up. Marygold wasn't going to have that. There was no way since it had taken forever to get her down in the first place. As the woman struggled to get up. Marygold walked over and kicked her in the head. This was the final blow, as her already weak arms that she was using to support herself gave out and she completely collapsed to the ground, uncouncious.

"Wow, that was anticlimactic. Now, where is her brother," Marygold said, the sounds of what was going on outside coming through the window. She had no idea what to expect from Quicksilver, and she hopped that Guin was having some sort of luck with getting the power back up and running. Her friend was probably going to get chewed out about it later, but her dad actually could probably be useful in this situation.

Guinevere Stark

{"Following's not really my style."}


Of course, Starkette, real name Guinevere Stark, didn't seem to be the luckiest kid on the block at the moment. She was used to random strangers flirting with her when she was around her father. Most people tended to flip out and hope to marry into the Stark family, since Guin was the heiress to Stark Industries. Her last name was a key reason for her code name, though it wasn't for reasons most people expected. They always assumed it was because of her father. No, she went by Starkette because of her grandfather. Peggy Carter's niece went by Agent 13. It made sense that the granddaughter of another founder, Howard Stark, would need her identity concealed as well. The original idea had been Agent 27, but she used the handle of Starkette so often when gaming that she already responded to it, and very few people guessed its actual meaning. Most assumed it was a Game of Thrones reference.

"Yet another cable wasted," Starkette sighed, tucking the mutilated earbuds into her pocket. It hadn't been the first time she used it as a wire and it probably wouldn't be the last. There was a drawer filled with them at Stark Tower, just so that way she could quickly replace a pair. "I don't know if we have any other cables around...I'll go look."

Guin didn't even pause to give Tony a chance to respond. She figured that if she had, it would be something along the lines of what the hell are you thinking? It's dangerous, Guin! And if she was lucky at all, her father was oblivious to the S.H.I.E.L.D. patch on her arm. But she probably wasn't that lucky. It'd just end up getting added into the rotation of arguments the two of them had, maybe even beating out the why the hell did you turn down M.I.T.? My alma mater? fight that had been going on since last May.

"Silver Balls. You wanna go on a date with me? Help me get the power on and keep Magenta from fucking the world over, then sure." Starkette sighed. She usually had a policy to not date people she had just bumped into. They usually turned out to be gold diggers. But there was something nice about the Maximoff boy and Starkette took off running through the next corridor, hoping to find some wires. She might as well start carrying them on her. Her gun was at the ready, just in case Quicksilver tried anything.

Cassandra looked over to Damon and gave him a slight nod, when he told her to make sure that she gets her arm patched up as well which she was going to do once she finished up patching Beast. "Don't worry it's certainly not the first time I've been injured in the field." Cassandra said as she watched Damon and his tat wolves started to head off and make their way towards the plant once more. Cassandra then moved over and then pressed the button to close up the hatch of the Blackbird, for some protection from anything that would possibly come out after them. Cassandra quickly then turned her attention to Beast as he laid there, she started to skim through the first aid kit while getting a look at his injuries.

She found a neck brace, slowly and gently started to put it around Beast's neck to keep his head still and causing any further injuries she wouldn't be sure if he had any swelling there yet. Then Cassandra got to work on finding a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, and started to pour it over the gash on his head, and arm. Then Cassandra started to stich up Beasts wounds as best as she could, it did look pretty but it would work until they could find him some better medical attention.

Once she had finished up her work, Cassandra took the bandages and started to wrap the bandages over them to make sure that it wouldn't get infected. Then she finally turned her attention over towards her arm, as she reached over for the hydrogen peroxide letting out a hissing sound in pain as she cleaned the up deep gashes. She slowly started to do her best to stitch it up, groaning loudly in pain as she tended to her own wound. It didn't look pretty at all either hard to keep your arm still while stitching it up yourself, was pretty hard as she finished up and used the bandages Cassandra sat back against the wall keeping a very close eye out on Beast for any changes.

"Never asked myself what my purpose was, it done dawned on me that I don't know at all."



Location: Hanson Power Plant



Oshea sat with his back against the wall, the searing heat of anguish rifled up his knee without cease. His heart still smashed against hi chest, he could almost feel the thick of his blood slogging through the walls of his veins as he lie there, face still bloodied and nose still broken. His breath remained shallow as he couldn't breathe out of it at all. He thought about wiping the blood from his face but all of his energy and all of his desire had been sapped away. Remarkable as his confidence normally is, being brought this low morphed confidence into doubt. To be helpless was weakness where he came from, it made you prey to carrion of all kind.

No matter his determination, no matter his impeachable facade, he was now more vulnerable than he had ever been. And frigid reality lay itself before him with a flash of thought; it would be a long time before he ever ran again, let alone a speed at which he could be a useful member to the team. He stared at the jutting bone, it laughed back. His future, his team, his entire life stymied at once. What would he do now? What life did he have outside of the X-Men? He was sure as the high heavens he was not returning to Baltimore! Oshea had seen many tragedies in his short life, little did he ever think he might be close to becoming one himself.

Tattoo count: 2 wolves 1 spider



Damon made his way inside as silently as he could. Both wolves padding beside him. He could hear wolverine and sabertooth, but he ignored them. Rather, he was focused on finding oshea. He picked up the pace a bit and froze once he looked down the hallway. He was completely taken off guard by the sight and shook his head. He quickly made his way forward and crouched when he was close enough. "Hey. You'll be alright." He looked at the wolves and they both got into defensive positions. He looked back at oshea. "You look terrible, but you'll be fine." He was not really positive on that one, but he would not be one to tell someone that.

Damon put his bow up and then reached forward deciding to take on as much weight as he possibly could. He heaved oshea up. "Don't worry about walking too much...just do what you can. If you can't do anything ill come up with something but either way you're getting out of here." He gave a glance around and saw his spider. He gave a head motion and the creature came skittering up and crawled up to rest on his shoulder. All things considered...he would need as much protection as possible. Who knew he would end up playing battle nurse and drag people off to safety. With small movements he started moving. His gaze focusing on Oshea to see how the speedster would handle it. The wolves going into the positions the were in when he had dragged off beast. Hopefully he would get to the bird in one piece...

Ayita Dyrkin




Location Hanson Power Plant
{"All men are made of water."}





Ayita roared as her wolven self gave a loud snarl. Another blasted, thrice-cursed crate! She was so very tempted to lunge at the woman. To rip her throat out, to tear her limb from limb. Giving a sharp snarl at the downed Scarlett Witch, she clacked her jaws menacingly at the Witch. Ayita wanted that woman's blood and she would have it. Not today however. Hackles raised she turned away, limping as she refused to set weight on her wounded leg. Too many injuries, the wolf snarled in defiance of this fact. But both wolf and woman knew that it was better to retreat for now. Better to live another day. Offering her nose to the Damon's Spider, a boost to get him back to his creator. She turned towards the halls. Sniffing for any hint as to the said man or perhaps a injures party or enemy. If it was enemy, Ayita snarled. She would not be kind.

Blood scent filled her nose. Blood from the running boy. Ayita growled as she followed the scent coming upon the speedster and not alone. Giving a huff, Ayita joined the train of the battle nurse. Giving a short growl, she brushed about Oshea to peer at the wound. It wasn't pleasant but he'd live. Sometimes that was someone could ask for her. Giving a short nod to Damon in greeting, she took up guard with the other wolves. Keeping one on her injured side. It was better than risking that side to the open.

Allison had little time to relish in the fact she was able to use her new power correctly. Marygold went off and she decided to stay with Ayita in case she needed help getting back to the ship. Ayita ran off though and Allison followed quickly, coming up to Damon and an injured Oshea. "Oshea, oh my God, are you ok?" Damon seemed to have a handle on things, but she remained close just in case. Ayita seemed fine as well.

She followed the others as they made their way back. "So this may not be the best time, but I apparently have a new power. Telekinesis. It's pretty cool." She kept her attitude light, but inside was a million fireworks. This was why she was an X-men, helping others but also growing. It was scary, but exciting at the same time. She wondered if the SHIELD agents were doing ok and if Iron Man found his daughter. That was a weird thought. Who knew he had a daughter, let alone the one SHIELD agent working with them. What were the chances of that happening?

Tony watches as Guin comes back with wires and tries to work on connecting the wires. As he looks, he realizes that she has a few wires cross."Guin stop! Don't connect that--" he started to say as she connected the mixed up wires.



By now however, Quicksilver is on his feet, and rushing around quickly. He was the only one who could possibly get everyone out, and since he was standing next to Guin and Tony, he started there, grabbing the two of them and rushing them out of the plant. Marygold and Scarlet Witch were the next closest, as least when it came to how close to the heart of the explosion they were. He grabbed the two of them, and pulled them out too.



When it came to the next pair. He hesitated for a slight moment, trying to figure out how to grab Ayita. He eventually just grabbed the wolf under one arm and Allison in the other and took off again. Damon and Oshea were a little more difficult. Oshea was hurting pretty bad, and he was able to see Quicksilver, and heard him as he spoke. "Sorry bout that, but this place is going up in smoke. Hold onto me, everyone else is already out," he said as he turned around, getting Oshea onto his back and grabbing Damon. He didn't have time for Damon's tattoo animals, but the three of them managed to get out before the whole place was engulfed.

At the end, everyone was standing in similar positions to that in which they had left, with the exception of Oshea who was now sitting on the ground. Quicksilver was now standing there, watching the fire and eating a Twinkie. He walked over to Guin and said "Welp, you just totally messed up that one didn't you? If I always listened to my father, you would all be dead. Just because I occasionally listen to him, doesn't mean I agree with him entirely. Maybe humans aren't so bad".

Wolverine comes walking up from the side of the building. His shirt is literally on fire, and he does not look happy. He glares around at the group of people gathered, "Sabretooth got away in the explosion. God damn it you all screwed this mission up, big time". He turns to walk back towards the Blackbird, and Stark turns to look at Guin. "Now, we can finish having that conversation. What the hell do you think your doing? You're supposed to be on campus at NYU, not here gallivanting around with the X-Men!"

Guinevere Stark

Location: Hanson Power Plant
{"I think I did okay!"}


One moment, she was standing with the wires at the ready, about seventy five percent certain she had the correct combination. Her father hadn't said anything, so that was good enough for Guin. She figured if she was about to royally screw up, he'd let her know. Besides, electrical engineering was more his thing than it was hers. She tended to deal with computers, not cables. She could jailbreak an iPod in her sleep after all and used to claim that she had in fact done so. But it really had just been something she said when she was little to get her father's attention--his attention had always been hard to come by before he became Iron Man.

"Fu--" Guin started to say, as Tony exclaimed a second too late not to connect those wires. The next second was a blur and she shut her eyes, giving her brain a minute to catch up. She had been inside of the plant and now she was outside, standing next to Silver Balls as he cockily ate a Twinkie. Guin didn't even know you could eat a Twinkie in a manner that said punch me, I'm a dick.

Starkette huffed a bit, not certain whether to punch Quicksilver or to just insult him. She hated failure but she hated having other people notice her mistakes even more. It was practically a genetic trait. No Stark had ever done well with the fact that they had messed up, that they had been wrong about something. "Whatever," Guin said in response, turning to hide her face. Wolverine's words struck a chord with her and for a moment, she felt her eyes start to water. She had done her best. Maybe she just wasn't cut out to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

"I don't fucking gallivant," Starkette muttered, avoiding her father's gaze.

"What do you wanna call this, then? Playing hero? It's stupid and you know it. You don't have powers, Guin. You're just a kid. Leave this to the professionals," Tony said sternly, maneuvering himself so Guin had to look him in the eye.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" Guin snapped. "It's my goddamn life and my goddamn choices! I'm not a fucking kid!" She then started walking quickly over to the Blackbird, but not before taking her phone out of her pocket and throwing it at her father. She would've thrown her watch at him as well, but it was curiously missing. She figured she must've lost it amidst all of the fighting. Guin didn't want anything her father had given to her at that moment.

"Guinevere Victoria Stark, come back here! We are not finished with this conversation!" Tony called out, sighing a bit as the phone hit the ground in front of him. All he got in response was the middle finger, before Guin put her fingers in her ears to block out Tony's voice. She even started saying la la la in order to highlight the effect.

"Real mature!" Tony scoffed, before taking in the mutants around him. "So what's this? Avengers Little League?"

Damon was busy focusing on oshea that he only provided Allison with a nod. He was not one to become super bubbly or excited so the nod was kind of a lot from him. He hadn't even done any fighting. That fact was grating at him. He wanted to actually participate not just drag everyone else off. But, he couldn't just leave his teammates laying around to lose all their blood so here he was. Moving as slowly as he could so he did not make things worse for that injury.

But then, he suddenly was outside watching the power plant explode. He then winced as his chest gave a fair amount of pain letting him know his wolves had still been in there. He gave a quick list of his shirt as lines began to appear as if the wolves were just being inked onto his skin. Those two would be out of commission for at least half an hour. Fantastic He dropped his shirt and shot a few eye daggers toward Quicksilver. He then shook his head at the father daughter shouting match and felt a headache come his way. The spider on his shoulder tapped his neck a bit as if comforting him. He didn't even bother saying anything to logan. What could he say exactly. Instead he just tossed the car keys at him.

Then that last comment. He felt the headache rush him and if his eyes could shoot lasers at Tony they would. He crossed his arms. "What is this a helicopter parent in a tin suit" He didn't speak much outside of missions so hearing his voice like that was something new. He motioned his hand and the spider crawled to his hand and wiggled its way back into his skin, once back he replaced his glove. He then shook his head and looked at Ayita and Oshea. He then went to help oshea get to the blackbird...apparently still in battle nurse mode. The waves of irritation coming off of him very clear...to the point where his visible tattoos seemed to move about with anxiety...except the dragon. The dragon seemed to like it.

Ayita's ears flicked as she gave a snarl at the elder Stark. This... was little league? Her bones cracked and snapped as she stepped from the scene to stare out across the distance. Her skin stretched and fur fell to the Earth, as Ayita stood to her full height. Her amber eyes burning as she growled deeply at Tony's comment, even her human voice producing the wolven sound without fail. Her teeth bared as she tensed not trusting the woods about them and especially not trusting a pissed off Wolverine. The man was aptly given that moniker.
"We were here to hunt." Her eyes locked onto the Iron-man again, her voice sharp if quiet. "We failed this hunt, we live to hunt again."

Turning on her heel she took Oshea's other arm. Wrapping it about her shoulders as she aided his spare side without a word. Her jaw set in a hard line, Ayita cursed herself and the entire situation. If she had known better forms. If she had been faster on the offensive. If, if, if. She sighed softly. Too many ifs. Too many things to focus on. Her mind whirled with possible forms, as she limped onward. For all the failure... In her book, this was a minor set back to anything being done. They lived, they had lost the hunt. The prey had escaped. But they had lived to learn and hunt again. That alone was a huge benefit as Ayita saw it.

Cassandra sat up to check up on Beast's vitals, he seemed to be stable still sighing ever so slightly he was still stable as far as she saw though he would need better medical attention when they get back to the Mansion. Then Cassandra felt the ground shaking, then the explosion quickly getting up to her feet drawing out her handgun. She saw that the power plant was now just one big smoldering fireball in the sky, she was worried that none of the others had made it. Then Quicksilver came with pretty much everyone in tow, pointing it at him for a moment before seeing Tony there, the Logan.

Seeing the plant was now in flames Cassandra knew that their mission had failed, and Wolverine was blaming them for the failure of it then Tony and Guine were having a father daughter spat in front of everyone. Then Guinevere turning off to the Blackbird doing probably the most childish thing, rubbing the bridge of her nose for a moment, they all survived with scrapes and bruises but they were all alive that's all that mattered.

Cassandra then turned her attention back towards Tony. "This was a SHIELD X-Men Op, if theres an issue with Agent Stark you could always bring it up with Director Fury. Since I know you two are buddy, buddy and all." She said, then her attention turned to look at the Maximoff twins giving a slight glare. "You might want to interrogate them find out what they know before they get away." Cassandra suggested.

Location: Hanson Power Plant



Oshea was carried to safety alongside everyone else, the bone still sticking out in his leg. He was glad medical costs wouldn't come out of his own pockets. He watched the building explode, and it hadn't dawned on him they had 'failed' the mission The Brotherhood don't get to take control of the Plant. . . though now no one got to take control of the plant. It was a success in some sense, then. Waves of subtle aches followed by large stints of deep pain coursed along his leg. Hopefully they would get back to the mansion soon so Oshea could get some medical attention.

Damon helped him back on the Blackbird, Oshea did what he could not to scream. He let out a grimmance, and once on the Blackbird, sat in the front of the jet. Something told Oshea this would be a much longer ride home than before. Pain always had a way of making time appear to move slower than normal; it was likely Oshea would pass out from shock once again long before they reached the mansion. At this point, he didn't resist, he just let the unconsciousness take him again--this hadn't been his best day anyway, so passing out was morbidly enjoyable.

{"Supes awkward...."}




Before Allison could react to the explosion, she felt herself being lifted and in an instant, she was outside. It seems that Quicksilver had a change of heart and saved everyone. She felt bad about hitting his sister with a crate.

Well...kind of bad. After all, did you see that? It was awesome!

Once things were settled, Oshea was getting put into the Blackbird. That was when Iron Man (he was so hot when he was angry, right? Right...?) turned to his daughter and let loose on her. Far be it from her to interject on family drama, but he did seem a little harsh. After all, the woman was older and wasn't, for example, Allison's age. Guin had enough of the conversation and was off. That was when Tony Stark dug his nails into them.

As cute as the name was, Avengers Little League kind of hurt. First, it was referring to a popular superhero team as if the X-men were just some nobody hacks trying to play with the big boys. Second, little league? If anything, they were Avengers Minor League.

"Umm, well with all due respect Tony...MR. Stark, sorry, I think we did as best a job as we could. We are, after all, inexperienced and it's not like we have unlimited resources. We have each other, and to that end, we looked after each other and made it through. So if that puts us in the Avengers Little League, then so be it!" She huffed her chest out a little, but stopped when she decided she looked silly. She took a breath in before she continued, "As for those two, we should probably note that we are all alive thanks to him. So...perhaps go a bit easy?" She gave her best award-winning smile.

Marygold spun around, and glared at Stark. She did not like how he downplayed what the team did, on a good day anyway. Clearly he hadn't seen the team back when the original members were around. Most people in the group hadn't been in combat before, so it was understandable why there would be problems. They needed to work hard, and this guy had the guts to call them the Avengers Little League, when a few of the members were adults, not kids.

"You know something Stark? You are one to talk, since you can't seem to leave your own kid alone. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been distracted by YOU playing over protective parent. We at least try to help others, while half the time you mess around and act like an idiot to everyone. I personally think that Guin can do whatever the heck she wants. So why don't you go off and have fun doing whatever you do on your days off, and leave everyone here, Guin included, alone!" she said, well, more of shouted at Tony.

She turned to look at Cassandra, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, before she started speaking again. She was ignoring Tony's shocked face, clearly he never had anyone say anything like that to him before. He started to say something, but stopped when Marygold started talking again, since she clearly wasn't listening. "We can talk to S.H.I.E.L.D about where we can hold Wanda over there. She's still out cold, so we'll have to find a way to hold her back at the mansion until arrangements can be made. Something tells me we don't have to worry about Pietro," she glanced over at Quicksilver, who was still standing there and who seemed to have no intention of leaving,I'm guessing Wolverine is going to go off again after Sabretooth," she said, as Wolverine turned around and ran off in the direction Sabretooth had gone,"Let's go back to the mansion, and talk to the Professor, along with getting medical help for you, Oshea, and Beast. Can someone help me grab Wanda?"

Marygold started heading back towards Scarlet Witch, meanwhile, Tony was livid. He was pissed off that a freaking kid told him off. That she had the nerve to tell him what to do. "Like you know what you're doing! You're all just a bunch of kids dressing up as superheroes. Come on Guin, we're going home".

"You are my father, but I am an adult. I can make my own decisions," Guin huffed. "Besides, I was always a rebel without a cause. Now I have one. I'm using my gift--our family's gift--to try to make a difference, to try and help the world. You of all people should understand that, Dad...And besides, Romanoff has been training me for years. I can kick ass," Guin replied before walking over to help Marygold with Scarlet Witch. Between the two of them, they are able to move her in the direction of the Blackbird, leaving Tony Stark glaring after them. After a few minutes, he flies off again, planning to have a discussion with Fury about his daughter being in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Quicksilver actually isn't running off, as he decided to stick around. He followed Marygold and Guin, giving a little wave to the others as he passes them. After 10 minutes, everyone is on the Blackbird. Beast is still where Cassandra had left him, and they are able to get Oshea set up in a seat before they take off with Marygold at the helm. Every injury that occurred was fairly lucky, though it will take a few weeks for them all to heal.


The power plant was only just the beginning of their problems. Magneto and his group of mutants had taken the Gifted Index and destroyed the Triskelion in DC while the power had been out. Turns out Sabretooth had just been a major distraction to keep you all away from the main SHIELD Headquarters. With that in hand, he has begun to track down other mutants, and bringing them all together. Of course, he does leave those of you at the institute alone. He wouldn't have dreamed that you would ever desert Xavier, and knew figured that you would just get in the way.

It has been over a month since then, and a lot can happen in such a short amount of time. Scarlet Witch refused to help in anyway, and eventually moved to a secure facility in Upstate New York. SHIELD is crumbling, and are now dealing with a new threat from HYDRA. Hawkeye helped Fury to squish Stark's protest about Guin though, so she'll be sticking around for a while. Both Cassandra and Guin have orders to stay with the X-Men, and to catch Magneto at all costs. The two also were given a few new little toys to use, but only some since SHIELD is scrambling and has limited resources. Someone else from SHIELD has been sent to help them, Marina van Essenhout. Another person has also joined up with the X-Men, Agent Reed's younger sister Carolina. With these two helping the group, maybe they can stop Magneto once and for all. Once Beast recovered from his injuries, he and Professor X began trying to locate Magneto, and figure out his end game. Though the two of them have more information than they could ever have dreamed of with another new addition to the team. Quicksilver after the incident at the power plant had decided to join the X-Men, and he has helped them to narrow down possible locations. Unfortunately, his information is still very limited, as Magneto never told him much about his plans, generally keeping him out of the loop.

Now, on February 13th, they have finally uncovered what Magneto's plan is. Several chemical research facilities have been broken into, and several pieces of equipment and chemicals were stolen. How do they know that it was Magneto? SHIELD finally let them know that something else had been stolen, something that could potentially be altered for Magneto's purpose. A chemical combination that could wipe out all mutants and other super-powered beings. There are ways to alter it, so instead of killing the mutants, it would take out every living human on the planet, rampaging across as a disease. They have no doubt that he would be able to accomplish this. With so many mutants now on his side, it would be simple to find a few people who took Chemistry and Medical as a college major.

They have managed to track him down, to what is practically on their back porch, a research lab in New York City. The plan is to have you interrupt Magneto before his plan comes to an end, and he disperses this disease that he has been creating. Remember, this time around, it is a race against time before he manages to wipe out every human on Earth. You will still have a chance though, Beast says that all he needs is a list of things that were used in its creation to make a cure. Even if the disease is unleashed, but hopefully it doesn't have to come to that.


~Meanwhile, here is an intermission that takes place before all this, only 11 days after the power plant for your reading entertainment~

The date was January 19th, 2019. The place? Stark Tower, of course. And the event? Guinevere Stark's nineteenth birthday. The tower had been lit up purple in Guin's honor, since it was her favorite color. Music from the 80's played over roaming speakers, specially designed by Tony Stark himself. The guests were entertained with cocktails and champagne, with fine wine and sharp beers. The drinking age seemed to hardly be an issue, despite the presence of some members of the US Military, including one Colonel James Rhodes.

Guin stood in the corner, wearing her favorite leather jacket, as she attempted to avoid her father's friends if at all possible. They were messing around with Thor's hammer at the moment, eliciting only eye rolls from the young S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. She had invited a few of her friends from high school, but none of them had showed up quite yet. Guin didn't even spot her friends from work just yet. Professor X, Beast, and Marygold had all been on the invite list. She hoped they'd show up, otherwise she'd be stuck trying to convince Steve that a dragon had ended World War II.

Marygold was the only one of the three who was able to make it. Professor X was busy as always, and Beast was still recovering from his injuries almost two weeks ago. She didn't really know what to get Guin for her birthday, since she practically had everything already, so she decided that she would go, and ask her friend later about it. Marygold wasn't used to crowds, and she only really knew two people there, and she wasn't sure if Tony Stark should count in that number.

She started looking around for Guin once she arrived, not sure of where she was going. Having never been to Stark Tower before, and she felt out of place. She could tell that she was one of the younger ones there, and it bugged her to know that she was basically on her own for this one. Even though she was in a crowd, she felt alone, and now she started to wish somewhat that she hadn't even come because of this.

The instant Marygold arrived, Guin spotted her. It wasn't too hard to find a ginger in a crowd, especially when most of the people in the crowd were in their thirties at least. Guin and Marygold were the youngest people in attendance, as it wasn't like Guin had any siblings. Tony had been extra careful after that little accident. "Mary! Thank god you're here," Guin called out, making a beeline over to the woman. Before Marygold could respond, Guin dragged her over to her corner, pulling out a little box she had hidden behind a decorative sculpture. Inside were about two dozen jello shots. "Want one? It's the only way these things are bearable," Guin explained, before pulling one out for herself and another for Marygold.

She smiled when Guin came over, at least she was with someone that she knew now. "Sure, I'll have one. Happy birthday anyway," she said as she took the shot from Guin. The crowd was pretty big, and the fact that everyone was at least ten years older than she was, well that was just plain weird. "How has your day been so far. I see that your dad pulled out all the stops for this one".

She waited for a response, but she did not like the next thing that she heard. The doors opened, and suddenly a gust of wind came blazing through, whipping through the crowd. Suddenly, Pietro Maximoff was standing there, in front of Guin and Marygold, once again with a twinkie in one of his hands, and he had a small box in the other."Cool party. Hey, I got you something," he said as he handed Guin the wrapped box he was holding.

Guin blinked, having finished off her shot only to find Pietro standing in front of her. She had been preparing a little bit of a monologue to Marygold, focusing on how these parties were never really for her. They were for Tony, in order to make him feel like he hadn't failed as a father. Or at least, that was the way Guin felt about them. She never wanted all of the pomp and circumstance that Tony did. She didn't enjoy the press camping outside of Stark Tower, waiting to catch a shot of the birthday girl or some of the other guests.

"Pietro. Didn't expect to see you here," Guin said, raising an eyebrow. She took the box and hoped that it wasn't just another piece of technology. Everyone seemed to think she wanted that, forgetting the fact that she was rich. She didn't need anything expensive or fancy, and she didn't want anything like that. Setting the box down next to the Jello Shots, she figured she could open it later. "Why are you here?"

Marygold was as surprised as Guin when Pietro showed up, and when she heard Guin's response to him, it made her wonder when these two really had a conversation, since the only place they could have met was at the power plant in DC. Though it was possible that they had fought, or more of talked by the sounds of things.

"Hey, you're the one who said I should come to your party. Then you had me go to Stark Tower asking for Happy, which was a very interesting experience let me tell you," he said with a grin, "I think you'll like what I got you".

"Most boys don't come back after that," Guin mused with a bit of a chuckle. She had been sending boys to ask for Happy for years. Happy, in turn, would put the fear of god in them and turn them out. They'd never come to bother her again after that. With Pietro, however, she had the secretary hand him a note, instructing him that he had one minute to find something Guin had left for him. Otherwise, Happy would catch him. "I usually open these later, but what the hell," Guin said, opening up the small box Pietro had gotten her. Her face was a little flushed, though it wasn't from the alcohol.

"Yeah, that was interesting. Though I'm guessing Happy doesn't generally deal with guys who are speedsters. Thanks for the tape by the way. Nice choice of music. Though I kinda left a huge mess in the area that I was searching in. That was a fun little scavenger hunt," he said, still smiling at her.

Marygold started feeling like the third wheel here while these two were flirting up a storm. She hoped that Tony didn't notice, especially since that would probably cause a big scene or something, and they didn't want that to happen. These two were hopeless, clearly never having a relationship in their lives or something like that. This was just plain getting pathetic in her opinion.

Guin's eyes widened as she saw a cassette tape in the box, with Pietro's scrawl labeling it as a mix tape he had made-- for her. Her cheeks were very red at that moment and Guin wasn't sure what to say, and she turned to look at Marygold for a moment, as if that would help. "Thanks, this is rad," Guin finally managed to say, putting the tape back inside of the box for safe keeping. She did another shot, as if liquid courage could help her somewhat. "You can have one if you want, Pietro. And...think you can get the three of us into Dad's lab without anyone noticing, Silver Balls?" Guin always did love going for joyrides in the Iron Man suits.

"Nah, I'm good. Shouldn't drink and run you know. Can I get you into your Dad's lab? Who do you think your talking to? Some goody two shoes turtle? Nah, I can get you there easily," he said, giving her a mischievous grin. He grabbed hold of Guin and Marygold's arms, and started running. He didn't really have any idea of where he was going, only that he was looking for the lab of freaking Iron Man, so he figured he'd be able to find it easily. Eventually, he entered a room, and soon the trio found themselves in Tony Stark's lab.

Guin snickered a bit. Alcohol was considered the breakfast of champions in the Stark household. Her father did at least half of his work while at least mildly buzzed. Stepping over to a terminal, Guin entered in a few strokes of code, before glancing back over at Marygold and Quicksilver, before adding in a few more numbers. She quickly hit a key to mute J.A.R.V.I.S., just in case anyone else heard the AI program running. "I used to do this all the time," Guin explained, though it wasn't much of an explanation.

A few minutes later, three chambers came out of hidden spots in the floor. Within each, there was an Iron Man suit. "They're programmed only to have flight capabilities, so they aren't weaponized," Guin said. Minor adjustments were being made quickly to the armor by the bots. One of the pieces of armor didn't need any, since Guin used it regularly, but the other two were being fixed in order to match Marygold and Pietro's heights. "Want to take them out for a spin?"

Marygold wasn't too sure about this, but Pietro was all for it. He never really had the chance to fly around, usually running and staying on the ground. He enjoyed the idea of going for a joyride in one of Iron Man's suits. "Are you kidding? This is going to be awesome!" he said, bouncing around slightly on the balls of his feet.

Of course, Marygold was closer to a rule follower than the other two, but she did not like the idea of being left behind while they went off. She never had really done any rule breaking before, so why not start now? Better late than never. "I'm in," she said, and prepared herself for what will most likely be an interesting experience.

"Sweet!" Guin exclaimed, happy that she'd have her friends with her. She had only taken someone with her on a joyride once before, something that resulted in the two of them crashing into the midst of a prison. It had given her a healthy fear of that place, but the fear wasn't enough to get her to follow the rules or even to stop flying her father's suits around. It just made her more appreciative of the lawyers they had on retainer and the fact that any bail amount that was posted, she'd be good for it.

Guin stepped over to the platform with the suit matching her size, stepping up into it as the bots got to work, getting the suit onto her. By the time it was just the mask left to go on, Guin motioned for Marygold and Pietro to do the same. "It'll take some getting used to, flying it, but Dad'll be distracted for at least another hour. And even then, who the fuck cares what he thinks? I've got it on the Joyride Protocol, so he won't be able to remotely pilot these things unless we deliberately allow him to," Guin snickered. She had been acting out since the day she was born. Why stop now?

Pietro instantly hopped up onto the platform and waited to get into the suit. Marygold, of course, being more hesitant about it. The idea of being able to fly was just strange to her, but she was kind of excited for it. She walked up onto the platform as well, and watched as she and Pietro were put into the suits. It was a little weird, to be in the things, but she figured that once up in the air it would be easier to at least move around.

Guin grinned as the mask went on over her face and she quickly explained the basics of piloting the suits to Marygold and Pietro. A prototype version of J.A.R.V.I.S., called P.H.I.L., had been loaded into each of the suits. She didn't want the butler to go and tell on them before they had a chance to do some real fun. "Don't worry about breaking these things either. Dad's got at least a hundred of these fucking suits," Guin said, using the suit-to-suit communication system, before she flew through the glass window, shattering it completely, and made her way soaring over the New York City skyline.

Marygold had a surprisingly easy time getting the hang of flying the suit, and she flew off after Guin. Pietro, on the other hand, was used to running, so he had a few problems getting off the ground and out the window. He managed to do it, though it had taken him a while. He enjoyed flying, and was happy once he understood what he was doing. "Hey Guin, you wouldn't by chance be able to play any music through these suits would you?" he asked as he flew to catch up with Guin and Marygold.

"Yup!" Guin replied cheerfully, beaming and blushing. She was glad that Marygold and Pietro couldn't see her facial expression, thanks to the suit. "P.H.I.L., play my awesome mix, will you?" Guin instructed. A moment later, Take On Me by A-ha was playing through the suits. Guin flew up towards the top of the Empire State Building, going as high as she could without running into too much of an icing problem. They were old suits that she had made with the Joyride Protocol, after all. And once she went as high as she could, Guin let herself free fall for a good few minutes, enjoying the feeling of the rush of the wind. At the last second, she pulled up and then went soaring through Times Square, laughing and having one of the best times of her life.

"If I was a mutant, this is what I'd want to be able to do," Guin said with a bit of a sigh. "Just fly...No rules, no parents, nothing...Just me and the sky."

"I don't know about that. Being able to run away from your problems is pretty cool too," Pietro said, and flew after her, enjoying the music. Marygold was fine with being able to fly around, but she still preferred the ground. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but I kind of agree with him. I personally prefer the ground, but this is pretty cool. Being able to fly around, not a worry in the world until you get back on the ground".

"True, being able to run so fucking fast is amazing. And Mary, do you even realize how powerful you are?" Guin pointed out, flying along the Hudson River now. She was going everywhere and anywhere in New York, her mind away from the problems of her life. "When I was little, I always wanted to get a power one day. But after someone tried to kill me when I was ten--yeah, Uncle Obadiah was fucked up--I realized it wouldn't happen. Can't get more stressful than that, right? So this is it...Flying around in Dad's suits. That's my escape."

"Well, flying is still really great. Plus I love the choice of music you have here," Pietro said, quickly changing the subject away from mutants and powers, not wanting a potential girlfriend to start getting jealous of him or something. Marygold just stayed silent, not knowing how to respond to that. Her powers had their limits, she literally was all depending on the area in which she was in, practically useless in the city unless she was at a park. Though she didn't feel like mentioning this.

Guin sensed that the others weren't that comfortable with her reminiscing, so she decided not to talk too much on that subject. "Anyways...Last one to Coney Island is a HYDRA operative!" Guin shouted, before taking off at full speed towards her destination. Coney Island had been one of her favorite places to go as a kid. Her mother, whenever she had custody that day, would practically abandon Guin there. And that was fine by her. Her mother only wanted to spend time with her if it got her in front of a camera.

"Oh, you are so on!" Pietro yelled as he took off after her. Marygold didn't want to be left behind, so she took off after him, but since Pietro wasn't the best at flying the suits, she easily maneuvered past him and was soon flying behind Guin. After several minutes, the trio found themselves at Coney Island, with Pietro being last out of the three of them.

Guin snickered, landing on the roof of what seemed to be an apartment building. "Come on, Silver Balls. I thought you were supposed to be fast!" Guin teased, her mask popping off to reveal her face. The blushing had stopped for the most part, a fact that Guin was immensely grateful for. And according to P.H.I.L.'s calculations, they had another ten minutes before Tony noticed that they had left with his suits.

"Hey, I'm fast on my feet, not a few thousand feet in the air!" Pietro said with a grin as he took off the front of his mask. Marygold followed suit, revealing her face, and her eyes roll at the two of them, but Pietro of course doesn't notice this. He is too focused on Guin, and Marygold has to stifle a laugh in order to not draw to much attention as to what was probably going through her head right then.

"Excuses, excuses, excuses!" Guin countered, still laughing at the man. She couldn't deny the fact that he was rather easy on the eyes, plus he shared her taste in music. There was a strand of hair in her eyes and she blew at it to get it out of the way. She didn't notice the eye roll from Marygold, having practically forgotten that the X-Men leader was still there. "I bet I could run just as fast as you can, maybe even faster," Guin joked, clearly bluffing. She ran fast--by human standards. She couldn't outrun Captain America, much less a speedster.

Pietro laughed, and was still smiling from ear to ear. He seemed to have also forgotten that Marygold was even there. Marygold turned away and looked out on the city, and could just make out a form that was headed their way. She knew who it was, and they were probably going to be in major trouble for it, but it still had been a fun experience overall. She watched as Iron Man came closer and closer to where they were, and turned around to tell Pietro and Guin, but stopped in her tracks. Pietro had pulled Guin in and kissed her, right when her father showed up. "What the hell is going on here!" Tony said as the front of his mask popped open. Marygold just sighed, figuring that this was going to be a long explanation.

Ayita Dyrkin and Damon Fawkes Collab


It was the day after the mission. The mission that had gone quite a bit wrong and Damon found himself a bit annoyed about how it had gone. What if he had gotten there sooner? would that have actually helped or would it still have reulted in a failure. Damon was not sure on that end and with annoyed thoughts made his way toward the training area. As he walked he thought through how it went for the millionth time and then changed course. He should check on the two injuried. Or at least Ayita considering Oshea was probably in worse shape and disturbing the speedster would probably mean talking to the guy. He internally cringed at that. Not that he hated Oshea...there was just way too much energy there for him.

Damon made his way towhere the injured were kept and started the hunt for the shapeshifter. One of the few he could actually stay in a room with and not feel himself die inside.

A headache, injured leg, and a hatred for crates. That all that had come from that fight, well aside from nearly finishing off the Scarlett Witch. There was a forlorn sigh at that. Experience had taught her not to leave a able enemy, they attacked from behind and that was never a good thing. But Marygold had knocked her unconcious, a blessing that had reigned in the wolf instincts that had called for the life blood of the woman. A book under one arm she fled the infirmery. A place that smelled ghastly to her senses. Propping open with one hand she flipped with the other, studying the bone structures and the muscle patterns of the great cats. If she had had claws, if she had been faster. Stronger. Ifs, they were deadly things you could ask yourself all day long. Better to correct them so they were not if but when and then. Dodging about a figure in her way, she paused slightly to the side as she blinked owlishly at Damon. Talk about timing. Now just to remember how to speak and not offer up a insult about humanity in way of- "Thanks. For sending the spider." Or just to be blunt. Yes, blunt worked well.

Damon blinked as Ayita dodged him. Did he find her or she find him? He wasn't sure on that one, but either way goal completed. He gave a nod and decided actual speaking was required here instead of being the virtual mute he had a habit of being outside of missions. "Of course. How are you by the way?" He could clearly see she was walking around, but still. The question had a bit of value to him because well...Ayita was the closest one power wise to him. So he couldn't help but feel a bit of familiarity toward her. That and she didn't push him, but that was a whole different can of worms.

Ayita blinked. How was she? She hadn't thought about that question in a while. With Allison generally a small smile or a shrug was enough and the eccentric girl was off on a tangent. Endearing, and leaving Ayita with little or no conversation needed. A welcomed fact. Though she was unconciously raising a brow at Damon for the odd question looking slightly confused. "I'll heal. I always do." She looked down at her leg with what could equate to a look of sheer annoyance. "Til then... I'm going to limp. If I had claws, that wich would have a good deal less of her hide." Never mind she was suppose to be using it lightly. Ayita had injuries before and light use? Wasn't a thing when you needed to hunt for supper. Her lip curled as her eyes flashed with more than annoyance. She wouldn't hesitate agian. Turning her head away slightly she let out the tense breath. "Sorry." He shouldn't have seen that. In fact if he was smart he'd head off. She wasn't one to mess with.

The confused face was confirmation for damon that he really really did not interact much at all. He gave a nod and wondered breifly if she should even be walking on the leg yet. Though voicing that opnion would probably get him killed...or something. He found his brow raising at her next comment and his arms crossed over his chest. He didn't comment on that one, but he knew the feeling. While other people may have been taken aback by the flash of annoyance paired with a lip curl, damon didnt seem to react. He simply gave a shrug. "Don't be." He then paused and pressed his chest somewhat as the tattoo wolves pressed against his skin. They seemed to want to hop out and do their own thing, but he did not feel like letting them loose at the moment. "I didn't even get to fight." As in, he understood the annoyance.

She shrugged, "Wasn't much of a fight. More a mad scramble of trying to contain them from what I've gathered." Tilting her head as he pressed his chest she frowned, amber eyes narrowing. "Do they not hurt when they come out? I won't ask about them going in." The shifter gave a rare chuckle. "A thousand needles pricking skin? I've no wish for that over hours." Shifting the book, she scanned the page and joints of the great tiger she was currently studied. It was odd how much she was talking but he was easy to talk to at the moment anyways and there was the tempiditure of a idea swarming at the back of her mind. Her eyes snapped to his tattoos again. "Think you can hold a bear with those?" There was a gleam as that idea was coming to the fore.

Damon gave a bit of a smile at the comment, but it still bothered him that he just played the role of battle nurse. He had wanted to help more in the fighting side. He raised a brow. "It used to hurt a lot more, but now it just feels a bit weird. Like my skin is stretching out" He gave a shrug. "The needle pricking feeling is more when they die....and when they go back in" He had caught the chuckle and gave a head shake. His eyes flicked toward the book she was reading then found himself blinking. "A bear?" His hand went to his chin as he thought about it. "I think i could yes. Why? That gleam in her eyes was concerning him a bit...part of him wondered if it was a good idea to answer that question. Too late now.

The answering grin was nothing less than feral. It was a small smile, and quickly gone. "How about a slight bargain? Keep me from going feral." Ayita cringed mentally. She hated asking people for favors, for help. The only one you could rely on was yourself. It was a lesson hard learned but learned well. She grimanced at the thought of what was worse however. Hunters, hurting others and being unable to stop it. Oh, she had done the latter and been target of the former. Her ear was proof enough. "I'm going to be shifitng, don't want to eat someone. I don't like asking." She stated roughly, shrugging slightly. Already she was beginning to walk down the hall and away.

Damon raised his brow and recrossed his arms. He knew she was of the type that hated asking for favors. He could tell just by how she was asking. He was still taken off guard by the request though and took a moment for his thoughts to function again. In time for the next part of the request. He watched her leave for a moment before catching up with her. "Okay, but that means when you shift i have to be there." He knew she would probably not be thrilled about that. "That way I know where you are when you change" It sounded logical to him. Though technically he didn't have to be there in person. He could just leave a tattoo there, but that meant he might not make it there in time if she did go feral and one tattoo was probably not good enough if she was talking bears.

Ayita blinked as he caught up, honestly she hadn't expected an agreement. "Agreed, and don't worry about bears. I know them well enough from Alaska, I shouldn't go feral with them." She gave the man the even rarer honest smile, as she teased him lightly with the ferocious form. She knew how bears acted. Their muscles and bones however, were a tad hazy for her. Finding one dead had been rare when she had run on her own, Killing one? A impossiblity. "And you're wolves should be able to find where I am easily enough, if you get time."

Damon shook his head and gave what could be considered a chuckle from him. "Somehow i dont feel reassured, but okay" He did not want to deal with a bear. He really did not want to, but something told him possibly later he would be dealing with an ayita bear. Hopefully she would warn him first. He gave a nod. "Okay. I wont bring my bow and arrows." As in he would make sure not to horribly injure her. Though, the wolves probably would not be the main trio he used. After all, he did have a panther on him...and it felt like it wanted out just as badly as the rest of them.

A month later, a very peeved tiger was glaring up the tree and trying to claw her way up to the interesting man who was up the said tree. The cold didn't bother her overly much, nor did it impede her as she paced. Giving a chuff, she reared up to claw at the trunk, long marks left from those wicked weapons. A full grown tigress, she chuffed again in amusement. Pacing as she stared up at the two-leg in the tree.

Damon ran behind the sleek form of a panther. Concern was written all over his features as he went. He really hoped ayita did not do something she would regret. The panther stopped and Damon skidded to a halt behind it. It looked up at him and flicked its rounded ears as if asking him 'now what'. He watched the tigress pace and shook his head. "Try to get her away from there" His voice was barely audible, but the panther seemed to hear him. It trotted out and nudged Ayita before tilting its head. Damon stayed back with his shirt now in his hands as he prepared to send out one of the other tattoos to help the panther.

Ayita flicked her ears at the panther, forgetting the man. Chuffing at the black cat, she swatted at it with one giant paw. This form had so completely eclisped her it was like a warm blanket about her soul and heart. If she had ever believe in such things. The paws so large, the land was molded beneath them. Already she sensed the beasts in the woods tremble in fear when she walked amongst the trees. Leaping away from the panther with a large bound, she knew she must follow her tracks back. This was beyond her territory and she was not where she should be. The little voice inside said so and told the tigress to return. To not be so swift. So she paced into the brush, chuffing as she listed to the voice, she was full and needed little so there was no reason not to.

The panther swatted playfully back and let out a chirp. The cat flicked its ears before bounding after Ayita leaving damon to follow as silently as possible while trying not to think about how exposed his upper body was at the moment. Once he realized where ayita was going a bit of relief flowed over him. She was headed back...that was good...the hard part would be trying to get her to change back. As the panther followed the tiger it would occasionally chirp at her. As if it was encouraging her.

Her steps slowed as she churred, tiredly. Nuzzling the panther, Ayita chuffed again. Slowly she was coming to herself. The instincts were held tightly, though they wanted to play. Her agreement only aided in gripping them. Slowly she forced her pace to steady and herself to turn back. Approaching Damon slowly, she chuffed in agreement. He wasn't to eat, her hold tightened on the instincts as she warily approached. Giving the odd grin she could in this form she pressed a snowy nose into his arm, purring slightly. She was in control, a good bit in control. To control this form fully would take a good while. The large cat's instincts were strong.

The panther gave another chirp that sounded approving. It followed her a bit as she moved as if to make sure the tiger didn't do anything to its host. Damon however, watched her approach and straighted more. He smiled back at the tiger smile then managed to not flinch at the cold nose pressed against his arm. But, by the air that was suddenly sucked in it was clear that there was an affect. He motioned for her to go ahead of him. "Go on, ill follow" The tiger gave a chuff and continued leading the way back through the forest. Far to easily for it to be a average beast. After several minutes the Mansion came into veiw as bones cracked and snapped. Blood speckled the snow as Ayita appeared. Face flushed and gleeful, as she leaned heavily against a tree. Her control had nearly been lost agian, rather than lose it, she had shifted back. A tired tiger wasn't somethign that anyone should deal with. Three hundred pounds of dead weight and bad temper.

Damon pulled his shirt back on as he walked into her view, the panther padding beside him. "Thanks for not eating me" He seemed more comfortable with teasing her now. Especially now that she wasn't a large tiger that could easily take him out when he had no weapons on him. He leaned against a different side of the tree. "you okay?" He knew shifting hurt her and seemed to ask after almost every shift she did.

"No worse than any other. We ought to get back." She gave him a small smile, staggering towards the school. He was a odd one, actually asking that question constantly. She didn't mind, it was actually nice to hear someone was a little bit worried. If only a little bit.

Damon nodded and pushed off the tree before following her back. As he walked he pulled up his shirt enough for the panther to jump back into his skin.Maybe he wasn't so terrible at this social thing after all.
