Worked ten hours, went home for four then worked another eight. Your definition of lucky is somewhat lacking from my perspective. Worse still I have a company dinner where I am currently.
So... tired.... running on three hours sleep and the day is not yet done.
However, saw Spiderman and now I have so much adrenalin (and caffeine) coursing through me I just want to bounce off of walls.

I also wasn't clear as I was writing that after a twelve hour workday. *grins* Not that today is much better.
Third Person Limited is told from the prospective of your protagonist and thus the narrator doesn't illuminate the thoughts or emotions of others, only what that person thinks, sees or feels.
Most of us, myself included, write in third person omniscient where the narrator knows everything, even things none of the characters can possibly know. Third person limited is recently very popular and is exemplarized by Game Of Thrones and Wheel of Time.
For example, my statement that Sarah didn't know about Pollock wouldn't be valid in third person limited. There's no way that Sarah could know that she didn't know something.
Thus, we could see and interact with secondary characters but not know their thoughts. I have to give this some thought because I'm not sure if it's even possible.

Not sure how I feel about full biographies for secondary characters. A name and a couple of sentences concerning powers and some factoids should be sufficient for secondary characters that are not likely to venture forth on missions.
I'm also pretty sure I'm not fond of the third person omniscient format for non-protagonists. I think I would prefer the third person limited format with the subject being our protagonists. To use the third person omniscient is implying a certain amount of importance on secondary characters and draws attention away from the protagonists.

"What do I want? A lottery win, chicken pasta florentine and a spa day," Sarah answered Bamf's question like a champion smart ass, "but the Pollock is fine. I don't like fish."
The fact that Pollock was just as much fish as the others escaped Sarah. Pollock was a white fish, named so for the meat of its flesh and was used to simulate, with the addition of artificial flavouring, various shellfish. All she knew was it tasted like crab and had a very different taste and consistency.
The plant girl arrived around the same time, traipsing about with her shirt hiked up to show off her tattoos. Sarah didn't understand why people got the bloody things. She'd had one started, it was meant to be a vine of roses around her ankle but the moment the needle hit her skin she'd flinched away. This girl had an entire sleeve! Oh wait... she was saying something, asking if they wanted tea.
"Well, I could make green tea," Sarah offered, "it'd go better with the sushi, provided any of us get any before Magnus here wolfs them down. I think I can manage boiling water without killing anyone."

*lol* I always assumed some form of telekinesis was involved but then, that's my answer to just about EVERYTHING. Superhuman strength... part muscle, part telekinesis. Blowing stuff up a distance... telekinesis.
Shadowtits again? With a snap of her fingers which resolved itself into a gesture with her index finger and thumb up like a gun she brought a small globe of darkness around Magnus' head. It blinded him only for the briefest of moments. All he had to do was move his head to be free of it but the result was as intended, he'd flinched, expecting some sort of follow up blow or an attempt at tripping him.
Once that was settled, Sarah opened the indicated drawer and pulled out a small matt made up of miniature bamboo sticks. For some reason the sticky rice didn't adhere to such matts. Silently, as she grabbed several other items, she rather hoped that it wasn't actual sushi. She far preferred California rolls.
"I was going to hit the Danger Room," she said afterwards and then hopped up onto the counter so that her legs dangled, "I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. Maybe some Assassin's Creed for stealth training or maybe the Star Wars program for recreation."
Forge did an excellent job setting up the mainframe's tools but it was the students with some technical ability or artistic flair that kept creating new holographic assets. Moonstar, for instance, seemed remarkably good at crafting such pieces. At first the Professor hadn't really approved of the Danger's Room's usage but after seeing a demonstration of Mortal Kombat he begrudgingly admitted that the combative nature of the program helped hone the student's martial abilities. In particular since many of the programs encouraged participants not to use their powers it helped develop combative and survival skills.
"In the Assassin's Creed one I'm a pirate on the high seas. In the Star Wars one we're currently planning on how to infiltrate Jabba's Palace to help free Han Solo like Lando did when he pretended to be a guard."

Interesting... since electricity can't fly :)
Mmmm.... I want to play Facet. She "collects" pretty young girls. Unfortunately they don't survive the "collecting" process but that's not her problem :) She would simply love a small little Gravure Icon and... a sparkly little girl that glows :)
Then there's Colony... he's like Venom but instead of bonding with people he eats them!
Unfortunately they aren't exactly team players! *lol* What we really need is "Conduit", she can produce energy much like Discharge does... only Conduit can't direct it at all. She instead uses the power she generates to power a suit of power armour. That's where the X-MECHA comes in!!!!

Sarah couldn't help but notice the rest of her comrades selfishly running from the Blackbird the moment it landed. -And they thought she was callous? You would think they would have helped move Storm and Plasma to the medical bay or at least gone along with them out of concern for their well being. At least she wasn't a hypocrite. Sarah knew she was selfish and probably a fair bit cowardly. More importantly, she was smarter then the others. Sarah saw this as an opportunity to suck up to the great powers without doing any work at all. All she had to do was pretend she was going to help, make the offer and someone else would do the work of lifting the fallen comrades. After all, she got into trouble often enough that a good word from Storm, Wolverine and Cyclops could come in handy.
First stop, Sarah thought to herself, my room and to put on some clothes. After that she was going to head towards the kitchen and grab some food before she headed towards the Danger Rooms for some relaxation. That was the plan in any event. Sometimes things didn't quite go as planned.
At least she got to her room without difficulty and donned a simple black tube dress and some strapless high heels that she could remove in a hurry should she need to get into costume. Later she'd come back for the costume she'd printed in the Shi'ar fabricators for her adventure in the danger room. First she was going to see if there was any leftover pizza or something. Considering there were well over twenty X-Men, not counting the students here, the kitchen was rather large and there must be some sort of leftovers.
