[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [/center][hr]	Casper looked at James with total adoration as James seemingly lost his mind at Havok's little snafu. It was pretty hilarious - and Casper only regretted that he hadn't taken advantage of the mindless chanting to try to get the crowd to say other things. If he had shouted [i]I hate Professor X[/i] would the crowd have just shouted that back at him? If he had jumped off the stage, would they have let him crowd surf? He'd gone crowd surfing before and it was easily the best form of surfing in the world. 

	[i]"Don't,"[/i] Ben warned, seemingly reading Casper's mind, but it was too late. Casper gave James a wink before rushing up to the edge of the stage, turning around, and trust-falling backwards. [color=DBA1DE]"Cannonball!"[/color] Casper shouted, despite not having made a cannonball motion at all. Fortunately, he was indeed caught - unfortunately for him, the person who caught him had eyes covering every inch of their body and Casper squealed slightly from the oddly wet touch, before his crowd surfing finally took him away from Eye Boy. 

	The crowd was a little confused when it came to chanting for Waverley, so there was a lot of disconnected murmurs, switching back and forth between the varying names and words she had said - no one was really sure which one to shout. They were very much relieved when Stretch and Valkyrie introduced themselves next - those were simple and to the point, great for chanting, especially since Valkyrie was three syllables. Although, some of the younger mutants were chanting [i]Stretch[/i] to the tune of [i]Shots[/i]. 	

	The witch of the Quiet Council tilted her head, cackling slightly at Max's antics. [color=CDC0CF]"Il piccolo bambino ha molto da imparare,"[/color] she said to herself in Italian. Her voice wasn't telepathically boosted for all to hear, but those on the stage may catch a word or two. In fact, if anyone studied her closely enough, they would realize she had a striking resemblance to one of the newest members of their group, their eyes and facial features practically cut from the same clothe. She could have been Andy's wicked, older sister. 

	The witch twirled one of her fingers lazily, and suddenly, it would be like a cord had been severed and both Max and Havok would drop to the ground unceremoniously. The witch gave Max a cheeky wink. [color=CDC0CF]"I'll see you in Voltus Glade at the witching hour, little Warlock."[/color]

	For a brief second, Reeva glared at Echo, before resuming her composure. Veil instantly went after her twin brother, turning herself invisible in the process. She didn't want to be stared at as she left. At least being invisible prevented that, as she caught up to Echo at the edge of the stage, taking his hand. She cloaked him in invisibility as well, and he would be able to see her now, although to each other they looked like ghostly outlines thanks to Veil's powers. [color=935DB8]"Ça va?"[/color] she whispered to her brother, getting to the point by asking him what was going on/how he was doing.

	"THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER!" the crowd chanted. It had began as Thundering Champion, but it was a bit of a mouthful, and the crowd of mutants quickly shortened it. 

	The roar of the crowd died down, as Reeva stepped forward once more. [color=B1C1EB]"Thank you. Now, brothers and sisters, I ask you - who are these kind souls? Who are these heroes of Genosha?"[/color]

	"MUTANTS! MUTANTS! MUTANTS!" the crowd cheered, instantly going back up into a frenzy. Some small children were looking up at the stage amazed, as if they were meeting the Avengers. 

	[color=B1C1EB]"Precisely. And for what people is Genosha the promised land?"[/color] Reeva followed up. 

	"MUTANTS! MUTANTS MUTANTS!" 

	Sunshine was beaming. She was practically glowing. She loved it here. She didn't have to worry about her friends and family being hurt - she didn't have to look over her shoulder for a Purifier. She was able to be free and true to herself. Beyond even just being a place for mutants, so many silly human customs just weren't a thing here. People could love who they loved. And capitalism was a dead concept. She hadn't smiled this much back with the Mutant Underground, but now, she was smiling so hard that it hurt. 

	[color=B1C1EB]"Magnus, would you be so kind as to present our heroes with a token of our gratitude?"[/color] Reeva then asked, as Magneto stepped forward. 

	Usually, Magneto was dressed in red and purple. Instead, his suit was all [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/b/bc/X-Men_Vol_5_1_Young_Guns_Variant_Textless.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200513221244]white[/url], as if symbolic of the new era they were in and the fresh start. Magneto outstretched his hand and revealed several small metallic cases, about the size of a baseball. The cases flew over to each person, with two going to the edge of the stage for Veil and Echo to grab when they wished. Inside the metal cages were what looked like a strange rock. 

	[color=FF5733]"Meteors, portions of an asteroid, killed the dinosaurs and allowed for homo sapiens to evolve. Mutants, homo superior, are the logical end of the evolutionary chain, for we shall inherit the Earth. As thanks for your bravery, we give you these meteorite fragments,"[/color] Magneto explained. One of the fragments had ended up hovering over the crowd surfing Casper, who grabbed it, being a bit confused. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Since when were you all into space, Magneto?"[/color] Casper shouted. 

	Magneto pretended he couldn't hear him. 

	Havok stared at the meteorite fragment, before chucking it at the stage and storming off, muttering curses under his breath about how the entire world was going to hell if [i]Magneto[/i] was trying to give them prizes.
