[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation [hr][/center]	Dr. Watts' hair had a lot more grey in it than the last time he had seen Sapphire. The abuse of the speed serum had taken its toll on his body. "I don't have a working serum at the moment," he admitted bitterly. He was a very proud and vain man - the fact that he hadn't been able to fix his serum to be safe for him to use again annoyed him to no end.

	"I can help," a voice popped up. A young girl in a jean jacket stepped out from back stage, standing next to Dr. Watts. She had his same calculating blue eyes. The sirens in the auditorium were blaring and everyone was rushing to get out, with all of the panelists already having joined the rush to evacuate. None of them were present to see as the girl let out a breath and suddenly, [url=https://media1.tenor.com/images/18d2062970ecd143e34a7ecece1351da/tenor.gif?itemid=12019268]rainbows were dancing all over her body as she floated up gently into the air[/url].

	"Leda, no!" Watts snapped. "It's too dangerous here in D.C.! Damn it! LEDA GET BACK HERE OR YOU'LL BE GROUNDED UNTIL THE SUN SWALLOWS THE EARTH!" His threats didn't do anything though - Princess Rainbow Unicorn had flown above the heads of the crowd and shot out into the street to save the day. "She's only seventeen, god fucking damn it!" Watts screamed. He punched the table in front of him and then threw the chair aside. "Get us out there now!" He was looking at Sapphire, knowing that with an ice slide she could easily get them out there in time before Leda got hurt. 

	[color=935DB8]"Come on, let's see if we can help,"[/color] Veil told her companions. She got up from her seat and headed out of the auditorium, through the lobby - she did snatch a can of soda and shoved it into her pockets for Sunshine - and then out into the street. Havok followed her, grumbling, [color=FAFD95]"Since when are we firefighters too?"[/color]

	Now that they were outside and Veil could get a good look at what was going on, this wasn't about a fire at all. [color=935DB8]"Does that look like a fire to you, Havok?"[/color] she asked him bluntly. She made force fields like stepping stones in the air, jumping from field to field as she soared over the heads of those fleeing. Veil then dropped to the ground right in front of the young blue-green haired girl, throwing up a force field in front of them just as Stabberson threw his knife at Zarina. [color=935DB8]"Kid, run!"[/color] 

	[color=FAFD95]"YeS iT ToTalLY lOOkS liKE a FIre!"[/color] Havok mocked. He weaved his way through the surging crowd, though fortunately no one besides Zarina and the police were out in the street (and Stabberson, of course) so it made it easier. He rocked his hips and a gigantic blast of red energy went off, slamming into Stabberson and knocking him backwards. 

	[color=935DB8]"Havok, now is not the time!"[/color] Veil snapped. Stabberson had rolled back up from his fall and was on his feet again. His strange blue knives were back in his hands, but he wasn't stupid. There were too many people there. He also figured with the outright display of mutant powers, the police would kill the mutants for him, so he turned and began to run, fleeing the scene. 

	A girl then soared out from the auditorium, glowing with rainbow light. She was flying after Stabberson, trying to catch him when a gun fired. She fell to the ground, clutching her chest in shock, blood pooling. The police hadn't been the only ones to notice the alarms and emergency sirens. Purifiers were on the scene. Three of them rushed over to Leda, tying her hands behind her back with zipties as she struggled and tried to break free. She couldn't summon a rainbow glow.

	The police didn't care that purifiers were there shooting teenage girls. They turned their guns on Havok, hitting him thrice with their bullets, although they didn't hit anything fatal. One bullet went into his thigh, two of them grazed his arms. [color=FAFD95]"I knew I hated college for a reason!"[/color] Havok shouted. 

	It was complete and utter chaos - police, purifiers, civilians, and mutants. The perfect cover for Stabberson to slip away. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper[/color] and [color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.imgur.com/z40d6mB.png[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic 
[b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [hr][/center]	[color=#DAF7A6]"He's not a people though - he's just Casper,"[/color] Sunshine pointed out to her father. She didn't like Casper. He was weird, stupid, and probably just minutes away from relapsing. It was mostly his drug abuse that bothered her. She had seen friends on the streets start using and they were never the same again. A few of them had died because of their addictions - others had gotten reckless and ended up being arrested, sentences to mutant super-max [i]or worse[/i]. [color=#DAF7A6]"Also, Hufflepuff, you sound stupid right now. Might want to work on that."[/color]

	[color=DBA1DE]"Hey, I am a person!"[/color] Casper protested. He was grinning a bit eagerly though at James' mention of a guy in uniform. [color=DBA1DE]"We haven't missed out anything babes - we just need to make a stop by the GoodWill on the way back... I bet they have a uniform in your size."[/color] He couldn't help but be excited at the thought of James dressed up in a uniform - would he be a cop? No, James was more of an EMT sort of personality. The cop thing was probably too close for comfort to everything that had happened with Wanda's world. 

	The fire escape plan was posted next to the door - it clearly labeled all of the possible exits. In fact, the back room had an emergency exit inside of it. There were also windows marked everywhere and the plan gave the general street layout. It wouldn't have been the first time that the clinic's patients had needed to use the plan in order to bolt. 

	Casper winced, holding a hand to his head as he tried to stave off the headache. [color=DBA1DE]"The toy soldier or the soldier who put it up there?"[/color] he asked Max innocently. He refused to look over at Max though, keeping his attention focused on James. There was the flickering form of Waverley's mother hovering over Max and Casper didn't want to speak to the ghost. The dead cop was covered in her own blood and she (understandably) was enraged that her murderer was living with her daughter. Casper much preferred Ben's company - or even the purifier that tended to float around near his brother from time to time. Casper was pretty talented at tuning out anti-mutant hate speech. [color=DBA1DE]"Sorry, my ghost best friend position has been filled - also..."[/color] Casper trailed off. He had been about to tell Max that they weren't really friends, but he thought better of it and shut his mouth. 

	Sunshine, however, sensed an opportunity to insult Max. She wasn't happy at all that he had joined the Mutant Underground. She never liked him, especially after he abandoned the Morlocks - and then [i]again[/i] abandoned the Mutant Underground to join forces with a group of Nazis. [color=#DAF7A6]"Why would Casper want to torture himself by talking to you, idiot?"[/color] Sunshine asked. [color=#DAF7A6]"Casper's dumb but he's not that dumb."[/color]

	[i]"She does have a point,"[/i] Ben chimed in. [i]"Casper, would you mind opening up a magazine or something to the puzzle section? I'm bored. Listening to Glimpse be loony is fun and all, but it's getting old."[/i]

	Casper nodded, plucking one of the magazines off of the wall - [url=https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51DFDFviQ9L._SX361_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg]Teen Vogue[/url]. He flipped to the article about boys, bullies, and Ariana Grande's breakout. [color=DBA1DE]"Remember when she was on Victorious, Ben? I always said she was way more fun than Tori,"[/color] Casper commented. Ben went and hovered over him, reading the article. 

	[i]"Honestly, Tori was so boring..."[/i] Ben agreed.

	The door of the back room swung open, revealing [url=https://media1.tenor.com/images/1d3c6ad5c9109fae097ff7e871b7e286/tenor.gif?itemid=7400308]Doctor Chan[/url]. She was dressed in a white coat, blue scrubs, and she had an N-95 mask on. Her hair was pulled back with a neon pink scrunchie and she had pink latex gloves on. "Alright Casper, what do I need to pull out of where this time?" Chan asked. "... Linda didn't mention you brought friends. I'm not judging, but I'm judging. Some of these girls are waaay too young for your bullshit orgies."

	[color=6B576F]"He should be so lucky as to have sex with me,"[/color] Magik deadpanned, before lurching forward and vomiting all over the floor. Doctor Chan took a step backwards, that way the puddle of vomit wouldn't get on her shoes. They were LL Bean boots and looked to be fairly new. They had hardly any scuff marks on them.

	[color=#DAF7A6]"They have M-Pox. Can you cure them?"[/color] Sunshine asked bluntly. The sooner the doctor treated her family, the sooner they could leave and get back to the safety of the Underground. She didn't trust Doctor Chan, but she also knew if they did nothing, her family would die from this disease. Sunshine had never been able to manipulate a disease she hadn't caused and James' powers didn't seem to do much. 

	"Oh," Doctor Chan said, looking at them with sympathy. "I don't have a cure, but I have the next best thing. Steroids. I'll get you all topical steroids, just smear them on the splotches on your skin, it'll clear that up." 

	[color=6B576F]"We are vomiting blood and some cannot walk,"[/color] Magik pointed out.

	"I can give you antiemetics for the vomiting and nausea - and [i]the good stuff[/i] for the pain, except Casper can't have those," Chan explained. "I'll be back in a hot sec. Try not to die, okay?" 

	[color=6B576F]"No promises."[/color]

	Chan then hurried out of the room to go grab all of the medication she could - it would all be for treating their symptoms. She didn't have anything to fix the underlying problem. Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. claimed to have a cure in progress, they hadn't told the medical community any details about it. They didn't even know what was causing M-Pox in mutants or how it was attacking the body. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Awww, I want the good stuff..."[/color] Casper pouted, turning the page of the magazine for Ben.
