Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Everyday Ellie manages to make her way out of the school is a good day, it's not always done with permission, but it's mostly done to perserve her own sanity. So tonight, she's wandering about Mutant Town, because that's where the rejects chill. Also, her looks isn't as jarring to people around these parts, and doesn't draw nearly as much attention. Right now she's lingering at Fred's Diner, because she's knows a waiter, and he occasionally hooks her up. Today's loot of choice, a solid chocolate shake. Winter be damned.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim walks into the diner and looks around at the various people. He then looks to Ellie and watches her. "You look to be an interesting soul. How would you react if someone could remove mutant genes and make one completely normal? Would you find it a blessing or a curse?" He asks curiously as he leans on his cane.

Redstar has posed:
Starr pushes open the door and steps into the diner. By now they have come to recognize her. Not many people around with huge wings from some fantasy story jutting out of their back, even in mutant town. With a nod she heads towards the table she's been sitting in. The one where she can put her wings against the wall without blocking anyone else. She may be a demon, but she isn't a total bitch. Yet she is surprised to see someone her age sitting there sucking down their own shake. She pauses for a heartbeat or two, overhearing Caim's comment, and stares. It only takes a second of thought before she pulls out the other chair and flips it around, sitting at the table. "Hey," She says idly to Ellie, reaching for a menu as if she was supposed to be here. Then she turns her red gaze slowly up to him, "That is not something you walk up and say to a random person. Especially not in this part of town." There is warning in her voice and a sudden maturity where before she had seemed like any other teen.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie was lost in thoughts, sipping on her marvelously made chocolate shake, when all of a sudden someone comes into the diner and directly approaches her of all people. Usually her looks alone warded off people, dissuading them from making contact. Sure, they'd look, they'd gossip, mention the pitiful problems the girl must be having to make such a fashion statement. But usually they wouldn't dare approach, Caim on the other hand, makes a direct approach and has quite an interesting thing to say. "Hey," she shoots back at him with a glare, "just because I look 'interesting'," she does the air-quotes as she says the word 'interesting', "by which I guess you mean, freak, doesn't make me a mutant, okay? And besides...it's a stupid idea." If her words were not enough to convey her feeling about the subject matter Caim introduced, her tone is less than friendly as an added hint.

Then Starr walks in, and she joins the table outright, pulling up a chair without so much as asking for permission. Ellie quirks a brow, looking from Caim to Starr, back to Caim, and mutters to herself, "yay for me, first time being popular since kindergarten." But then she notes Starr's mannerism towards Caim, and eases a bit, the fellow teen was simply trying to ward off the guy with the creepy vibes. "Yeah...kinda that too, but hey, she got wings, maybe you might wanna ask her?" Ellie offers with a shrug, before sipping exceptionally loudly on her shake.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim chuckles. "Anyone in this part of town is a freak in some way, as you put it." He says as he turns to look to Starr and chuckles. "You dont seem to understand. My mutation has made me immune to death. It also has made me able to make more mutants, or to strip them from their powers." He says calmly as he watches her. He then turns his head to regard Ellie. "Let me guess, your report card throughout your time in school always had written, 'Doesnt play well with others', did it?"

Redstar has posed:
Starr glances sideways at Ellie and then back to Caim, her wings rustling behind her. It is a simply move for her, like someone crossing their arms, but to everyone else the slight hunching over her shoulders can seem threatening. The sharp and vicious looking spikes that rise from the main wing joint are not friendly and could probably easily draw blood. A slow and almost predatory smile crosses her lips and she doesn't take her eyes off of him. "Good for you. Your mutation also apparently robbed you of manners," Says the girl who just sat down at Ellie's table without permission. But hey, Caim doesn't know that the two teens weren't meeting for shakes right? Then her gaze trails to Ellie and she looks thoughtful as she asks, with as much sarcasm as possible, "Am I being too vague you think?" Her wings shift again subtly, like a porcupine rattling it's quills in warning.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie snorts as Caim makes another faux pas, shaking her head, "now that's both judgemental and asinine." She rolls her eyes at how readily Caim announces not only that he's a mutant, but his precise abilities out to the world, "are you new at this being a mutant thing?" Just a question, with the immediate follow up, "because you totally suck at it." She shrugs at the report card comment, "maybe it does, haven't looked at one...those are for parents, and I ain't got any, so fuck that."

Looking over at Starr, Ellie seems impressed with her wings and the dangerous spikey parts, "you look badass," she notes to Starr out of the blue, considering her question, looking over at Caim, and back at her, before taking another sip of her shake. Only then does she remark, "I think you can be as blunt as a carcrash and it won't help this lost cause."

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim just sighs. He reaches into his coat and pulls out a weird device it looked like a bunch of wires connected to a brick of play-doh and sets it down on the table. He then reaches into a pocket and pulls a trigger which causes the lightbulb on the brick to light up green then red. "Lets see how well you both deal with this." He says as he watches them curiously.

Redstar has posed:
Starr is quite calm as she looks at the plastique on their table and back at him with a raised brow. "Hmmm...yeah I don't like you," She says after only a seconds pause, nodding her head and letting out a sigh. "I mean are you serious with this shit?" She gestures at it and people start yelling and rushing out of the diner. She shakes her head and pulls out her phone to start texting. "Now I'm not gonna get my damned shake."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"You're not putting that shit on my table..." Ellie remarks to Caim as he seems like he's about to put some freakin' play-doh on her table, which also brings her to wave her hand in the air, "excuse me? This weirdo creeper is not my friend, is bothering me, and is putting disgusting stuff on my table..." yeah, she's not about to be stupid and get on the news, she just signals the manager to call the cops or whatever he wants to do. She's not having any of this bullshit social experiment stuff with Caim. On the flipside, she doesn't truly seemed bothered by the play-doh with flashing light-bulb. She could do that with a freakin' potato, elementary school level of science class stuff.

"You calling the cops?" Ellie asks Starr, curious about who she might be calling in response to that weirdo. She hopes that chick got connections with hell, because an army of demons would be awesome to see first hand.

Shadowlite has posed:
It's around this time an inky blackness forms around the 'play-doh', solidifying within moments. It seems to come out of nowhere, though Shadowlite just 'came' to the area, and is currently just to the side of the back door of the place, looking in. Anyone who looks that way will see a man peeking around a corner with a black mask and aviator looking goggles.

Caim Kataras has posed:
    "Having someone else save you? Really?" Caim asks as he looks around and then looks to the man as he comes in. He then pushes the button and the sound of a firecracker is heard in the blackness. "I rigged it to blow the blasting cap. Never touched the explosive." He says as he taps the blackness with his cane. "Mind letting me have my expensive C-4 back?" He asks sarcastically.

Redstar has posed:
"Pffft, you kidding? I don't call the cops," Starr says with a smirk, eyeing the explosive brick on the table. "No, I'm just looking up plastique on my phone," She says with a shrug and a glare aimed at Caim. Of course she may not be calling the authorities, but the manager certainly is. "Here's an interesting fact," She says as she reads from her phone. "Huh, interesting. I did not know that," She says as she reads from the screen.
    Then she glances up as the dark shell appears and smirks before turning to look at Caim. "I'm availing myself of my resources, sir," She throws the title like an insult as she draws herself up to her full height, wings also lifting so that they brush the cieling. It is then the temperature in the diner changes. It goes from pleasant, on this cold winter day, to roasting desert heat. Starr's eyes flash molten orange and her lip curls. "I recommend that you consider yourself bested and leave. I can make it much more unpleasant," Indeed as she speaks her ability to manipulate heat focuses in on Caim's very own internal thermostat raising it from normal to 102 in a breath. "I. Want. My. Milkshake!" And she slams she hands down on the table and glares furiously at Caim.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie stares at the black matter enwrapping itself around the potential explosive, her attention not quite yet drawn at the dark newcomer. She does, however, look up at Caim and just laughs in his face, "someone else save me? No, dickwad, I'm having someone save you!" She rolls her eyes as she turns aside to Starr, "that spaceman really doesn't know what planet he's on, does he?" And then Starr has to go and make it uber cold, leaving Ellie to start embracing herself, rubbing her hands against opposing arms, "could you chill with the chilling up of the place?" Ellie asks, "I'm pretty sure The Lord of Suck is on his way out..." then Starr has to go and ruin Ellie's milkshake! Not just the milkshake, it also gets ridiculous hot and she's starts to sweat, and that's not cool at all. "Dude!" Ellie looks over at Starr, a bit unpleasant, seems like she's more bothered by the heat than by Caim's wouldbe explosive, "I'm pretty sure Lord of Suck is on his way out...can you chill it with the heat?"

Caim Kataras has posed:
    Caim just watches the glare, his own temperature rising but his facial expression doesnt change. He watches then something beeps in his pocket. He slowly reaches and pulls out a phone. "Time to leave anyway." He says as he begins to hobble out on his cane.

Shadowlite has posed:
Then, Shadowlite steps out of the back and into visual range. His black bodysuit and black trenchcoat are adjusted as he steps over to the two... those bulky looking goggles one way as he inspects the shell. "Seriously? C4 in a cafe?" Shadowlite asks, a bit dumbfounded... his baritone masked by a voice scrambler. Then, he looks to Negasonic. "Friend of yours?" He inquires to Starr.

Redstar has posed:
Starr glares for another few seconds at the guy. The temperature quickly begin to ramp down thanks to the outdoor weather and the fact that the door was left open by people running away from the explosives. "Hmph!" She says and sits back down with a thump. Then she has the decency to look at Ellie apologetically, "I'll get you another. Sorry," She says and scratches at the side of her head. "Guess I lost my temper a bit," It really doesn't take that long for the cold New York air to fill and circulate and bring the temperature to tolerable. But then there is the sound of sirens and Starr is suddenly alert and looking worried. "Crap."
    As Shadowlite joins them she shrugs and shakes her head. "Uhhhhh...sorta. Teen spirit and all that," She says and shrugs one shoulder. "So...I owe you a shake but can't really, you know, hang around for the cops to show up. Soooo...rain check?" It seems she means it. Also Starr likes this sassy goth. And someone did mention making friends the other day.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is very displeased with the turn of events, looking at what was once a glorious milkshake and is now ruined. But then Shadowlite appears, and she takes a moment to study him. "In case you haven't noticed, the guy was a class OMEGA douche." She helpfully classifies Caim for Shadowlite, on the off chance he missed the glaring fact.

When Starr offers to get her a new shake, Ellie notes, "it'd be the decent thing to do." She then recalls the cops being called by the manager and snaps, "fuck, I oughta move outta here myself...another time then." As she gets up to leave, she notes, "I'm Ellie by the way. Good work on the creepster."

Shadowlite has posed:
"You can call me Shadowlite. I'm a friend of the winged wonder." Shadowlite confirms to Ellie, before he looks to Starr... then back. "I can drop you off somewhere, if you like. I'm only really here because Winged Wonder asked for help." Then, his eyes look to the shell. "Well, free explosives for me." Shadowlite notes, before his hand reaches out... and the sound of electrical crackling can be heard as a black disk forms underneath said shell, a black misty floating from the edges, and black lightning 'arcing' within the aperture. A few seconds later, and the shelled explosive falls into it... and the disk shuts, "I'm a class awesome man, if it helps." Shadowlite notes helpfully.

Redstar has posed:
"Hah!" Starr agrees and bobs her head in agreement with Ellie. "Omega indeed! Starr," She adds, throwing her name back at Ellie. "I like this place...so when I get out I like to come here." The sadly metled and warm, ew, milkshake is given a glance. "Usually you can sit and enjoy a milkshake without creepers, buuuuut." After a moment she offers her fist for the other teen to bump if she so chooses. Making an explosion sound and throwing her fingers wide whether fist bump is given or not.
    As Shadowlite steps up and offers Ellie a ride she gives him an actual appreciative smile and glance. When the explosive disappears she snaps her fingers and says, "OH! I could have totally just melted that shit without any worries, even if it HAD been armed. Plastique needs heat AND force to go boom. Interesting fact of the day," She bobs her head and sticks the phone she had been holding in one hand into the fanny pack. "Winged Wonder...really?" Now Shadow gets the teenage stare that shows just how stupid of a thing was said. One red brow raises and she shakes her head. "Let's skedaddle ya?"
