Cast of Characters: Impulse, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rogue, Shadowcat




Impulse has posed:
At the urging of Gideon.. really it was nagging, Impulse finally relented to go to a school, but a normal mundane school? That would /kill/ the teenagers soul in ways he didn't want to think about. So he set the 30th century AI to a task. Find him a school. One that would have advanced sciences, and things he could study that would be concidered advanced for the era he's been sent to.

IT took her a few days of sifting through the partial historical records, cross referencing them with other before one was found. "Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters. Somewhere in upstate New York, Westchester with no address on record but was reported to be the school that taught the X-Men, heroic men and women with active meta-genes in the 20th-22nd century." With that information, one bright and early saturday morning Bart was off to search the whole county if he had to. It's a little after 9am when he comes across the brass plaque! "Bingo Gideon! Lets go say hello!." And with that he runs up a tree outside of the campus and leaps over the fence checking out the campus on his way to the front door!

If there's any sort of proximity alarm it's set off blaring loudly as someone or something enters the school campus. It's north of the school.. no it's west.. It's in the tennis courts, now it's in the south gardens.. Finally the ping ponging missile comes to a stop, at the front door 30 seconds after the alarms go off, a loud knocking on the majestic oak doors. "Hello? Is anybody home?" Impulse yells out

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Right it is damn early in the morning. To be honest Ellie isn't even sure why the hell she even got up before 11am on a Saturday.

I mean yes there was danger room training scheduled in the afternoon.

Also sure there is turkish coffee and waffles between her coffee making and someone elses waffle making skills.

Still.

When the doorbell to the campus rings Ellie was walking through the foyer to head up the steps back to her room. There is a narrowing of eyes and a glance t the door. "This had better either be good.. or door to door religious people I can destroy..." and she stomps over to open the door with after juggling her coffee and plate into one hand.

Revealed behind the opened door is a very gothy punk girl, though right now she has a plate of waffles and bacon in one hand with a balanced coffee mug. She is also still in her pajamas. Those being black loose cotton leggings and a t-shirt featuring an angry cartoon cat with a cup of coffee. The text reads ~I get up early .... or I get up friendly.~ 1319cf1ee1452bd35c7dab7dc9a4d8a1.jpg

Negasonic looks Impulse up, then down, then back up again and narrows her eyes. "Who the hell are you?"

Rogue has posed:
Thanks to Carol Danvers, Rogue was a light sleeper, she didn't need a lot of rest to get rejuvenated and just about every morning she shoots out of bed entirely ready to tackle another day... this is a far cry from before Rogue stole Carol's being and powers from her, back in those days she used to sleep aaaaall morning and into the afternoon if she was allowed to, but that was four years ago now.

Now, Rogue is descending the main staircase, already cleaned, dressed and ready to head out to get some breakfast somewhere fancy. To treat herself and have a good morning. She's even humming a soft tune as she steps down the staircase in a casual outfit, gloves covering her hands, her jacket hanging in her left hand at her side as she strides toward the main door.

She catches the tail-end of Ellie's greeting to the new arrival and it makes her look up and grin as she approaches as well now. "We're such a friendly place, around these parts." She adds onto Ellie's greeting, her southern flavored voice is arguably a bit more inviting, as is the smile she offers the person at the door. "Howdee, Sun Tea. Welcome t'Xavier's."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse is in his Impulse outfit, the open topped cowl and goggles hiding his identity. But thats not for long as the suit from the neck up flows and morphs vanishing into the material of the suit he's wearing. "Hi!" he says in that chipper tone that all morning people seem to have. "You know I get asked that a lot! I use to say Zippy, but now I go by Impulse! You can call me Bart!" he introduces himself to the angry goth girl standing infront of him, the taller teen looking up and past her to wave at Rogue.

"Thanks! I'm a gifted youngster. Can I come to your school? Gideon says I need to have a little bit of normalcy in my life and not spend all day fixing peoples homes and giving food and money to people." He explains before noticing the waffles. "Ohh! Waffles! Do they have chocolate chips in them?" he asks curiously before adding "Ohh! I can pay Tuition! Might take me a couple hours to find the money depending on how much, but I can pay up for at least the year by Monday. Next three years by a week from thursday!" he adds trying to 'sweeten' the deal.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Yeah this all does not seem to really phase Ellie as she takes her coffee back into her other hand and slow sip it while Impulse starts talking so fast just rambling along like, well he reminds her of Speedy really.

It also doesn't seem to impress Ellie really.

When Impulse is done with his spiel about being gifted youngster and wanting to go to school Ellie notes "Blueberry." then turns to Rogue "What i am totally friendly. I asked who the hell he was ... I didn't even ask him what the fuck he wanted or slam the door in his face." though she looks almost tempted to slam the door right now, Rogue can read her body language better than almost anyone.

Looking back to Impulse. "Who the fuck is Gideon?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue's eyes just get slowly wider and wider the faster and more that Impulse talks. She then shifts her gaze over to Ellie and for a second she entirely understands Negaonic's everything. But. BUT! This is a school of learned doctors! Well no, but it is a school of learneded youngsters, and they do try to give an air of friendliness. Rogue just exhales a sudden laugh at Ellie's words and then looks back to him.

Her right gloved hand is palced against her chest. "I'm Marie." She says to Impulse. Then motions to Negasonic. "This'ere is Ellie, she's our Public Relations Officer. Also known as our 'Pro' and well..."

Rogue then clears her throat and puts her right hand onto her right hip, still holding her jacket down at her side in her left hand. "Neither of us are in charge'a who goes,a nd who doesn't go t'school around here, Sugah. But you're welcome t'fill out a thing that will get ya a call back with an appointment with someone who is, if ya'd like?" Rogue flashes a grin to the kid then. "Ya know, propah channels'n all that jazz."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse's clothes continue to shift becoming a pair of dark red jeans a white t-shirt and a yellow hoodie though his hands stay gloved. "Gideon, say hello!" he says holding up his right hand at which point several lenses appear in the palm to display the face of a feminine android. "I am Barts companion AI Gideon. I assisted him in finding your school it's something I, and I know his parents and grandfather would want for him to be around peers near his age. " The AI says in introduction a brief shadow of sadness flitting across Bart's face at the mention of his parents.

Hi Marie! Ellie! So, the whole Grr, anger thing.. is it just cause you've not had enough coffee and sugar yet, or a New York thing? Cause /WOW/ New Yorkers!" he comments. "I can come in? Awesome!" and then he's inside. The door wasn't open wide enough for him to get through without bumping into Ellie, but there he is his jaw open gaping as he looks at every thing. "CanIhaveacupofyourcoffee? Itsmellsawesome! Kahndaqi? MiddleEasternsomewhere? Smellslikeareallydarkroast!" he comments each of his sentences punctuated by a flash of crimson and bronze lightning as he runs to a different part of the publicly accessible parts of the mansion. "ohhwowyouhaveaprettyrobustcomputersystemhere!" he comments as his augmented reality display takes note of the wifi and it's security..

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Okay the whole outfit changing is impressive, as is the hologram AI wrist computer. Not that Ellie will show any sign of being impressed. Nope she just sips her coffee.

To Rogue, before the speedsters inside. "More fucking time travel."

Then well Impulse speedsters his ass into the mansion and Ellie blinks, and turns slowly to look at Impulse. Then she looks at Rogue. Then she looks back to Impulse. "No you can not have my coffee or my waffle. I will end you." okay she sounds like she means it. Then back to Rogue. "I can't help but feel this is your fault for not being clear that he had to fill out the paperwork on the porch Marie." she is already pulling her own phone out and checks if Speedy is on the network right now. Nope. Damnit. God. Speedsters.

Rogue has posed:
Well hey, Rogue is a Teacher's Assistant, she's not the... Admissions Assistant! (She doesn't know if there is one of those either).

She steps out of the way as best she can, and she eyes him as best as she can before she looks to Ellie with a 'Oh my gawd' stare. "The foyer's fiiiine." She says to Negasonic before she looks back to him. "Hey, don't go any further, okay? This is a place with a lotta security, and you've probably already set some'a that security off. Can't have ya doin' more harm than good when you're not even enrolled here."

She steps over to a table beside the front entry way, sets her jacket down and picks up a folder out of a dark wooden box that has a lot of different things in it. She turns to Impulse then and walks toward him. "Here, this is an Entry Package. If ya take it and read through it... fill it all out, and, well, you can even do this online. You'll get contacted with the results."

The folder is offered to the kid, Rogue glances to Ellie and then back toward Impulse. She smiles softly and tucks her hair behind her left ear with her left gloved hand. "You're certainly gifted, can't argue that, Sport'o."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse is already gone halfway between Rogues 'The' and is back at 'Foyer' a mug of coffee in one hand, and a waffle in the other a squawk of suprise and indignation coming from the direction of the kitchen as somebody loses a waffel and the pot of coffee is one mug lighter. "foundit!" he says holding them up a bite appearing in the waffle without it seeming to move.

When he's told not to go wandering anywhere else, the teen looking to almost pout.. "aww.. ok.. I probably don't wanna know what's behind the big steel door down to your basement anyway and I already checked out the stuff outside! Man you guys have it nice here! Big lawns to play on and relax in! Benches everywhere, there's an awesome climbing tree back out to the north, and you have a hedgemaze! A HEDGEMAZE!" he exclaims.

"You have a website? Gideon couldn't find it to let me apply.. I'll do it the old fashioned way! Got a pen?" he asks before he's flitting on to the next series of questions that come to mind.So what superpowers do you have??" he asks both women curiously.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Sweet zombie jesus.

Speedsters.

Ellie sighs a bit "Hedgemazes are for tweens and wickedly old people.. they are not schway." which is totally a term from the future not this time period. Hmm.

At this point though when he asks about powers Ellie just downs her whole coffee and then offers Impulse it empty "Can you get me another one of these please."

Assumming Bart actually runs off to get her a refill, and honestly she seems used to this concept thanks to abusing Speedy's skills, Ellie notes to Rogue. "So.. do we throttle him or drown him?" before he comes back.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue has to release a heavy sigh, she's dealt with speeders before in her 20 years on this planet... mostly in the last 6 or so though. "Right... okay." She says to him then. "Just cause you're really really fast, doesn't mean ya gotta have bad manners too, Chuckles." She says with a restrained smile showing on her pink hued lips.

Rogue then turns and walks past Ellie again to that same area with the table and wooden boxes where she got the folder from. She picks up a pen out of a mug, and she picks up a coffee thermos too with the Xavier's logo on it. She turns then and walks back to where she last saw Bart and she offers them both to him.

"Here, they're yours. Free gifts, for stoppin' by." She says with a calm restraint. She glances back to Ellie then and nudges her with a covered elbow. "No drownin's. Not yet any how." And then she's back to staring at Bart and offering him a soft laugh of innocence, should he have heard that.

Impulse has posed:
"Yeah!Sure!" he says vanishing, another series of yells of surprise coming from the kitchen before Impulse returns with four cups of coffee leaving an empty pot. "didn'tknowhowyouliked it, so Black as your soul, with Cream, With Sugar, and finally with Cream and Sugar!" he explains a helpful hologram labeling each starting to float above the cups..

Seeing the swag he grins "Awesome! I'll get that filled out for you in a sec!" he says in a chipper mood.. "Coffee?" he asks of Rogue offering one of the cups that Ellie didn't take..

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde is coming down the stairs with Lockheed on her shoulder when she sees the red and gold blur go past. "Son of a bitch," Kitty says, frowning. She becomes very alert and turns to look at Lockheed, letting the dragon sense what she's feeling rather than relay it in words. He looks alarmed and takes flight above her, heading back up the stairs in the direction of Storm's room. Or the roof access.

Kitty heads for the door where the blur disappeared. She emerges outside and she looks about, spotting Rogue and Ellie. And the man with coffee. Kitty's jaw muscle twitches a bit with tension as she walks over towards the others. "What's up?" Kitty says, affecting a casual expression as she walks over to join her friends where they stand with the costumed teenager.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Are you sure?" she notes to Rogue once Bart is back and already offering to fill out the paperwork with the pen right now while they all watch.

Then Ellie takes the cup, she did note the comment about it being as dark as her soul. She eyes it and then sips it. It isn't her Turkish coffee but another cup does help her deal with the speedster at an ungodly 9am in the morning.

"I could use someone else to run and fetch things for me though to be honest. Classwork is keeping some of my minions too busy." Ellie is bribable if nothing else.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
When Kitty comes up Ellie gestures to Bart. "Time Traveler Speedster from the future who has the attention span of a golden retriever on meth." yeah she is extrapolitating.

She took the plain black coffee like her soul.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue looks to Impulse and she politely declines the coffee and shakes her head to indicate it. "No thanks, I was on my way out t'get breakfast down in Salem Center in fact." She nods to him lightly. "Feel free t'fill it out, I imagine you'll have it done before I even finish this sentence."

Its then that Anna-Marie looks over to regard the approaching Kitty, she catches sight of Lockheed fleeing and it just makes her grin. "He always runs away from me." She teases Kitty as her friend approaches. Her right gloved hand motions to Bart. "Speedstick here wants t'come t'school here. Told'im to fill out one'a the entry packets and I guess leave it here so someone can get back in touch with him about it. Jean and Scott aren't here, I don't think. They generally go out for breakfast on Saturdays."

Rogue glances over to Ellie and just grins at her. She leans over to her and whispers. "I don't think your soul is black. Gray maybe, but definitely not black."

Impulse has posed:
Bart Allen looks at Ellie confusion on his face evident. "What's a golden retriever? And what's meth?" he asks before he shrugs at Rogue when she declines the offered coffee. "More for the rest of us I guess!" he says glancing over at Kitty the young teen not recognizing her in the slightest from the happenings a few days ago in Keystone. Suddenly he's standing infront of Kitty. "Hi! I'm Bart. Coffee?" he asks holding up three cups each with a little floating hologram. Cream/sugar/cream & sugar swirling above the three cups.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde arrives over with the other ladies, while the dragon is doing his best to be inconspicuous up on the roof. Ignore the purple tiny gargoyle watching the strange man down below!

Kitty hears the explanation from Rogue and Ellie and says, "Oh. Well. I guess we don't have that happen every day," she comments, glancing back over to Impulse.

As he suddenly appears in front of her, Kitty starts just a tiny bit. "No, thank you. Already had a cup this morning," she tells him. The young woman's expression turns a little curious. "So, what made you think that this might be the school for you, out of curiosity," Kitty asks in a genial tone, albeit in far more than just curiosity.

She glances back to Rogue and Ellie and flashes the younger of the two a soft grin. "Not black by a long shot. Just brooding," Kitty concludes, the grin turning to a warm smile to the girl who has often had her back.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie just shakes her head, extra slow because damn it is early. She appreciates Rogue and Kitty defending the state of her soul though. "Fucking black and white polka dots then." she indicates her shirt with a meaningful look to Kitty.

This is 9am.

It is ungodly.

Also her waffle is getting cold because she can't speedster eat it. At this rate she will need to go get a refresh from the kitchen.

"A kind of dog and meth is a drug, trust me my mean comment is completely appropriate and accurate. I have an advanced degree in that."

Rogue has posed:
"No we do not." Rogue softly replies to the 'not every day' bit from Kitty. She shows a light smirk to the girl she used to room with here at the school and then turns to step out onto the front stoop outside the front doors. "Its nice out." She comments, seeing the sun on the lawn and the blue sky. "Probably gonna warm up nice by noon. I think its park day." She says with a bright smile then before she turns back around to look inside.

"You can just drop it in that mail box there on the table." She says to Impulse. "Its where packages'n such get left for the faculty. Miss Grey's is the one you'll wanna leave the folder with."

Impulse has posed:
Bart Allen shrugs again at the refusal of coffee. "Nobody else here drink the stuff" he asks of Ellie seeming to ignore the 'mean' comment "Back in a Flash." he says as he vanishes with the cups grapping his at the same time and returning having returned the now empty cups to the kitchen sink.

"OK! Paperwork time!" he says grabbing it and looking at the paper work, his hand a blur of motion as he starts filling out some of the parts. "Ok.. So.. Questions." he says simply "I /technically/ don't have a home.. So what do I put for home address?" he asks. "Ohh.. And I technically don't have any parents yet, so what do i put down for guardians? Also should I put 2022 down for my year of birth, 2021 for my physical age or 3094 for the actual year I was born?" he asks. He didn't say he was from the future, but Ellie cottoned on real quick, so why deny it..

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde motions towards Ellie as if confirming she does indeed have an advanced degree. A PhD in Snarkology. With honors. Kitty muses quietly as she watches Impulse filling out the paperwork. "It is a nice day," Kitty confirms to Rogue. "Thanks for your help the other day, by the way," she adds without going into any details on what with.

Kitty turns to glance at the school, seeing if any students are out and about, though most are likely in classes at the moment. She glances up towards Lockheed where he perches on the roof, giving a tiny gesture to indicate things seem ok. He stays up there, watchful though as she looks back to the others.

"Well, what are you doing for breakfast?" Kitty asks Rogue. "Or did you eat already." There's probably a box of cereal in the kitchen with Kitty's name on it.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Part of Ellie has no idea why the two more adulty types are not.. dealing with Impulse. I mean Rogue should probably just shake his hand and figure out his whole deal.

Of course the downside would be her maybe acting like Bart for a bit. Yeah that could be bad.

"Wait." yeah Ellie can math. "You're six years old... okay that might be too young to go here." she looks for backup from Kitty then looks to Bart. "I would put your physical age and then maybe put in the other dates just to confuse people..." a shrug.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue turns around in time to catch sight of Kitty looking skyward, she follows her gaze and spots that Lockheed up there which just makes her grin. "So cute." She says with a heavy sigh before she looks back down and over to Kitty. She walks back toward her and grins lightly. "Don't mention it, always happy t'help."

And now the southern belle is leaning against the front door frame on a shoulder. "I was gonna drive down the road t'Mel's Diner. Just have a 'Breakfast Slam' or whatever it is they call it. Its Saturday, ya know. Everyone seems happier on Saturday mornin' down there."

Her green eyes then look into the school again to where this Bart fellow is. "Just put N A for all the fields that ya can't provide an answer for. Whenever you're fillin' out a form, its always best t'do that, rather than leave an entry blank. Cause then it just looks like you missed it, which makes ya look like a scatter brained doofus." She grins lightly before she looks to Ellie, then back to Impulse. was he six? That'd be weird. But... there's a lotta weird stuff around here, traditionally speaking.

Impulse has posed:
Bart Allen nods "Ahh, ok.." he says as he returns his concentration on the paper. The little purple flying dragon has been so far missed by the speedster.. probably a good thing, both for Lockheeds sensibilities, and Impulses concentration.. There's the rustling of papers, the slight smell of heating paper, and then the packet is filled out and slipped into the mailbox. "Done, and /done!/ he says with a grin. "Thanks for helping me out and talking with me, you've all been pretty awesome. Some of you more awesome than others! But still pretty schway!" he says. "I put my email and phone number on the packet so if any questions arise you can get ahold of me that way!" he adds.

Shadowcat has posed:
The brunette gives Ellie a nod of agreement. "Well, yes, though he seems a grown up 6, I suppose," Kitty tells Ellie. "Will be up to the... er, admissions department," she says. Making it all formal sounding and all.

Kitty looks over to Rogue and says, "I'll tag along if you like. Probably just have some toast and then watch the guys oggle you." Kitty flashes the Southern belle a grin. She never had to worry about that herself when she was with her friend, though the same age, Rogue definitely had the figure going on far more than Kitty.

"Take care," tells Impulse, not having gotten his name yet. Though she'll check the forms later to get all of that information.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie looks down at her cold waffle and then towards the kitchen. "I am the most awesome." also the schway but, yeah he is from the future. God help her that is such a stupid saying though she will never tell her girlfriend that.

"I need to go get a new waffle." with that Ellie looks to Rogue and Kitty then back to the kitchen. Finally she looks to Bart. "I'm sure we will be in touch, well someone more grownup at least. So .. shoo." yup Public Relations Officer.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue grins at Kitty. "Oh yeah, sure the endless flow'a Dad Bods and the Trucker Dudes who populate that place..." She trails off then and reconsiders. "Well, sometimes there's motorcycle guys that stop in there. Some'a them are pretty sexy... So yeah."

She trails her eyes over to Ellie and what has become a sad waffle. "Put that damn thing somewhere, grab a hoodie or somethin' and come on. I'm buyin' ya a better breakfast than that." She tells the hard-edged Teenage Warhead.

Then her eyes go back to Impulse and in true Southern Hospitality Way, she waits by the door till he gets the heck out of their house. "I'm sure you'll hear back soon. Jean--er... Miss Grey--is as punctual of a worker as they come. Hang tight out there, Speedo and yeah, thats a cool A.I. thing ya got and all."

Rogue then raises her sunglasses up out of her jacket pocket and she places them over her eyes, designer Aviators... like something Carol would wear if Carol Danvers had any actual style.

Impulse has posed:
Bart Allen's clothing morphs and changes back to his 'Impulse' outfit. "Thanks for everything! I'll come back and visit some time! Maybe we can hang out!" he calls out to the teenager as she vanishes back to teh kitchen. With a crack of lightning and a woosh of air he heads back to the front door running right through it like it wasn't even there and vanishing back into the New York Countryside..
