Surge has posed:
Let's try this again, shall we?

"It. Looked. At. Me. Funny.."

Nori doesn't feel like she should have to explain herself here, standing in the kitchen spraying the smoking husk of the burned out oven with an emergency fire extinguisher, spraying white foam at the last bit of fire. This sends up more plumes of black smok and sends her into a coughing fit.

What had happened was

She was just enjoying a refreshing glass of milk. Completely innocently using the oven for very unnefarious activities. It looked at her funny (she dozed off while an electric spark was passing between her fingers, chin stretched out in her other palm) and sent out just enough of an arc to pop one of the heating elements..

Then there was a fire.

And now there are alarms.

This is just the kind of stuff that /happens/ with a school full of mutant children, okay? They have insurances for this. Mayhem insurance.

"We're going to have to get rid of the evidence..." Turning aside to her inadvertant, probably innocent, acomplice Negasonic.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey says, "Things sure have changed since we were kids, Sam." Doug pipes up from the doorway. "In our day it was usually the roof that got wrecked. He used to be easily spooked by loud noises behind him.""

Nightingale has posed:
     It had been a frustrating, completely embarrassing day of training, with less about things that had actually been done right, and much more emphasis on what had gone wrong. Maybe that was the way of things, Shannon supposed, but damn it, did it have to be in front of Sam? She's uncharacteristically surly and snappish that day, and when there was black smoke plus alarms...

     "What the FUCK?!" She takes off at a dead run for the kitchen, hoping like hell she wasn't going to have to be sending a text to Josh for help.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is still sitting in the chair at the island in the kitchen and recording with her phone. She has a soda in front of her and half a sandwich from where she was minding her own business when Nori went and popped off and assaulted the stove like that.

Now it is being recorded for the hall of fame, including the fire extinguishing.

"I can't believe you blew up the stove..." she notes for the seventh time there, wiping away a tear from her eye. "Also how the hell do you get rid of the evidence when it is an almost industrial stove... and I am pretty sure people will be here any moment to yell at us.."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is there and he sighs a bit to this. He looks over to Doug, "Honestly Ah think Amara did more property damage than Ah ever did." He looks back as he hears Shannon and raises a brow, but will step out of the way so she can get into the kitchen "Ok, how did it happen, and might as well give me the truth as looks like it is already on youtube.

Surge has posed:
"I don't know!" Nori says through clinched teeth, clanging the extinguisher down on the counter across from Ellie, "I just know we have to get /that/ out of here be-" Too late. Jig is up. Voices from yander door w- Oh, it's just Doug and Sam. Nori blows out a sigh of relief, "GUYS! You're never going to believe this, but the oven just randomly exploded for no apparent reason what so ever... it was insane..."

Glancing between them.

She's wearing 'off duty' stuff. Shorts, combat boots, too long t-shirt, but she's not even bothered trying respike her hair! Too much work, too long a day.

"Who wants to help me take it out back and bury it in the lake?"

Shannon, again with the swearing! Both gauntleted fingers point in her direction, "Suuup Shan-o... look what God did to your oven man..."

Eyeing Sam.. Nori hangs her head with a long suffering sigh, "It.. uh.. maybe a fuse burst, ya know? I don't... uh.. magnets?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"For the record I never post stuff that would compromise the school or our safety on the muggle internet. This is either for my collection or school Intranet." she grins and tucks her phone away and picks up her sandwich taking a bite as she watches Noriko spin her story for those arriving.

"Magnets are mysterious... also Magneto.. he is like mysterious and uses magnets."

Cypher has posed:
"I still don't know how you guys repaired an active volcano bursting through the floor of the foyer in a week." Doug muses, tilting his head. "I don't know how if I'm glad to break this to you or disappointed..." He raises his shoulders in a shrug, "Everyone here except me and maybe Xavier have wrecked significant parts of this house."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon growls softly at first, but then just covers her mouth and nose until some of the smoke clears. "Let's get a few windows open... these windows -do- open, right?" There is biting sarcasm, more than a little unusual, and she turns flame red almost the instant she realizes Sam is there. "And me, Doug. I haven't wrecked anything yet. But at this rate..." She starts trying to open some of the windows, grumbling various oaths in one or two different languages. "So much for baking some bread tonight. Kneading that shit's actually really good strength training..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to Shannon and smirks a bit looks like she maybe loosing the shyness quicker than most would think . He will look at Doug and says "Didn't you know carpentry is a required class here in senior year" He jokes a bit and will walk over to open he back door. "Ah think we may have a spare oven in storage, with the way things go around here we try to be ready for most anything.

Surge has posed:
Ellie's helpful banter has Nori squinting her face at the other teen and sticking out her tongue in the Warheads direction, which is just a temporary rest stop on the way back to embarassing reminder that there's an oven to deal with. Scratching at her shock blue hair with one metal hand, "Yeah, okay, you're right.. Uh.. I fell asleep.. and the timer buzzed.. and then I threw a small electric bolt at it because it startled me and sounded like a chain rattling." Spawn is scary, she wont say it, but it's true.

"Whoa! Shan-o... language, huh?" She doesn't mean that /at all/. If she was upset about blowing up the oven, Shannon's reaction to it having blown up has immediately relieved any wrong doing she may feel about the whole thing.

Cypher has posed:
Doug gives Sam a flat look. "Now how would I know that, Sam?" He raises his eyebrows, and then goes to turn off the gas line to the kitchen. That done, he looks back to the others. "We aren't mad. The cook might be mad, but we're not." He grins, big. "But if Scott finds out you'll get twitch power control exercises for months." He looks to Sam. "Blame Iceman, he might buy it."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie sticks her tongue back at Surge and then finishes sandwich off. "Which totally blew up or burned down your pizza rolls Tazer." yeah she uses her old nickname for Noriko. "Poor poor oven.. alas... " a sorrowful headshake.

"Also, way to go cursing Shannon." no mean nickname, like clicker training acting up. "You are going to make brimstone or Kentucky blush though at this rate with the language.

"Ugn yeah Dorkmeister likes to assign stuff like that.. the first time I blew up the front foyer was three months of drills..."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon gets the windows open while Doug turns off the gas line, and some of the smoke starts billowing outside in stygian clouds that make one wonder if a fire is in progress, or a storm is on the way. At Xavier's, with some of the various gifts students possessed, one never could tell! The remarks about her cursing have her just ducking her head, forcing herself to take a few breaths to try and calm down. "Sorry... I know I shouldn't swear so much. But damn it, now how am I going to blow off any steam around here?"

Even the tips of her ears go red as it clicks just who Ellie means by 'Kentucky'. Great. Now she sounded like a guttermouth snipe in front of him! Just what she needed!

"Wait.. 'Dorkmeister'? Oh for... seriously, he's not all that bad! Have any of you ever you know, tried just talking to the guy normally?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to the bunch and says "Oh there will be drills, and extra chores, just how it is sorry but it is going to happen. Would suggest having either Forge, Beast or maybe Doug here look at the gauntlets make sure they are not damaged or acting funny, as sparks while your sleeping or zones out could be dangerous to you and others. Ah aint going to hollar at you, but it aint exactly something that can be hid. Pretty sure it was an accident from the panicked face you had when we came in. Trust me, Ah did plenty of extra chores it aint that bad. Ah will get you a list of them.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey digs his elbow into Sam's ribs, and gives him a look that says 'Uh oh'. Then he sighs, and holds up his hands. "I'm gonna order subs. That'll take some of the sting out of this. Just put the fire out and they'll use the old servant's kitchen till the oven gets fixed." He elbows Sam again, then leaves .

Surge has posed:
There goes her old name and Nori, rather than getting indignant, rolls her eyes at Ellie, "Shut up, Sparkle-bunny." Glancing, then, between Sam and Doug who both seem far more helpful than she'd have expected, but probably should have expected, because they're all mutants and done some shit that caused property damage.

With a long suffering sigh, she looks to the wreckage she's wrot, dramatically falling back against the counter with both hands propping her up, "I'm never going to see the end of remediation training.." At least she got to fight someone in the Danger Room today, though. That was dope.

That's why it took her so long to respond, see?

Not at all because McDonalds was taking too long.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Sparkle-bunny is Dazzler's nickname Nori." she snags her plate and ducks around to put it in the dishwaher now then gets a fresh soda.

"Okay so we drag this thing out. Drag the new stove in.. mess up installing it and blow it up again?" honestly Negasonic seems really engaged with the idea.

"Also the chores aren't so bad.... trust me.. I live in chore detention land."

Nightingale has posed:
     Well, at least there would be subs. It could be worse. But that did little to calm the growling that was beginning to become something of an embarrassment in Shannon's immediate vicinity. She crosses her arms and sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. This was -not- shaping up to be a great day at all.

     Then, she goes still as something hits her. Two could play at this nickname game. A small smile curls her lips upwards, though there is no hint of laughter. "Nori, huh? Nori's seaweed, and seaweed goes with..." Drumroll, please? "...SUSHI."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Mine was more outdoors stuff, but even Ah had a decent amount of it. Ah am pretty sure we can get it hooked up without blowing anything up, might be a day or so before we get the woodwork and such looking right but within a week you would never know it happened." He will inform them "Scott may want to talk to ya to ask what happened, just be honest and up front with him. He will move to get a dolly to start getting the stove out of the way."

Surge has posed:
"I thought she was Spotlight-Princess?" Nori is still kind of distracted by her ultimate failures with the oven. Her hand jams down into her big pockets for a baggy from which sh pulls a gumdrop to toss in her mouth, glance over her shoulder at Ellie with a raised brow? Shrugging couldn't hurt right style.

Cus there's subs coming, thanks Doug.

She walks backwards a few steps, then spins with a jingle of the dozen or two necklaces she's wearing around her neck, wraps around the center island, and plops up on the stool next to Nega. Both palms up, chin resting in them, face all frustratedly staring at the burnt stove.

"I'm sure he will." Down in the dumps now. Energy levels low, busted ass Oven, and the likelihood she's going to get a stern so you blew up the kitchen.. talk.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Look, just be honest with Scott. He might not be too happy with you, Sushi, but he's not as bad as all that." Shannon knows better than to rest her hand on Noriko's hand, shoulder, or anywhere else that might get her shocked, especially with the mood she seems to be in--justifiably so. But she does offer a little bit of a smile, and turns to Sam, a bit rosy in the face. "Need a hand with that?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Subs are good." she notes thoughtfully "Thanks Doug!" she calls after him.

"No she is definitely Sparkle-bunny now." about Jubes.

"I'll help with the stove Nori." she notes, which is uncharacteristically nice for her.

she looks at Shannon and shakes her head lightly "It should be intrisic .. like about her power or her hair or something.. like smurfette.. or Tazer... or Blue lightning."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Appreciate it but right now, I think it is a bit of a one person job, and would not want to run you over. " He tells her. He will move to take the oven to the garage and says "Be right back, need to get this put away

Surge has posed:
"Oh, was she calling me Sushi?" Nori blinks a few times and glances up from her dreariness, bumping against Negasonic with a little wink and a thank you, she looks up to Shannon, "I appreciate you getting involved, but calling a Japanese girl Sushi seems kind of /and by kind of I mean very/ racist as fuck." Blink... blink.

"Come here right this instant and give me a hug." Both gauntleted arms open, arms out stretched, "I'm so proud of you right now, you don't even know."

More than willing to let Samuel, big strapping lad that he is, "THANKS SAM~" Do all the heavy lifting while she, instead, snags a bite of Ellie's sandwich.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon winces as she realizes that, unintentionally, she had said something very very offensive. "Hey... I'm sorry... I didn't intend it as racist... it was the food connection. Ummm... how about Zap?" Wait... was Noriko actually going to... HUG her? Though her eyebrows go up, she smiles a little bit, and basically hugs the stuffings out of the other girl. "Don't know why you're so proud but oooookay..."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Probably because you are swearing like a little sailor and being a bit racist. Fluttershy really isn't going to work anymore at this rate." she sips her soda looking quite amused. "Also Zap is good."

She just watches as the hug occurs then calls after Sam. "Let me know if you want help hooking it up. I am studying engineering!" and of course nothing can go wrong with that.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will be gone for a bit but will come out back with the new stove still in the box. "Now we have to be extra careful at least till we get a new one in to the spare back out in the garage." He will set it close to the spot, and move to get himself a drink "You want something ladies?"

Surge has posed:
"Because you broke your racist cherry. You're officially a white american now." Flicking Gauntleted fingers at herself until Shannon gets in there. It is not a long hug, but her stuffing is properly hugged out, "Yeah, what Ellie said." She sniffs playfully likes she's been crying, hands on Shan-o's shoulders.. "You... you grew up so fast..." pat pat, and she's released, back into the world where she can break hearts!

Nori settles back down on the stool. "Alright well that came to an agreeable conclussion." Fishing around her own back pocket, not for a phone, but a pair of hair clips. Both are slid in and up to pull her hair out of her face. "Bet you fifty bucks he wont let you help."

Once Sam's arrived, "Oh! How about a High ball?" Unlikely. "A Coors? I think Logan keeps some in the back by the sodas..." Yeah, unlikely, "Ugh.. I'll take a Monster Energy drink, then."

Nightingale has posed:
     Oh, dear. Right from a hug from a very proud Noriko and Ellie's note that perhaps 'Fluttershy' might not work, to those large, feathery wings being wrapped around her again, effectively hiding her blush. She pulls a stool over to the general vicinity of the new stove and perches on it, ostensibly keeping an eye on things. Yeah right, break hearts? As if! Her voice has dropped a little in volume, and she replies to Sam, "If there's any root beer or ginger ale, great... "

Cypher has posed:
Doug comes back in. "I ordered sandwiches, I figure fifty footlong subs ought to be enough to feed anybody who's up this late--" He watches Sam bringing in a new stove. "Oh, I'm guessing we had one waiting in the storage locker--" He looks around, and says, "What, are people surprised, this place is gigantic--"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie lifts up her coke to show it off, "Already covered by thanks Kentucky." she considers "wow ... I bet Sam could get us whiskey." which is from there right. Or was that Tennesee. Hard to say really.

"I'm not we probably have spares for all our appliances.... and thanks Dougster."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Yea, and I will get you each a bottle for your twenty first birthdays." He tells them, and offers Shannon and Noriko their drinks "You can set up the controls to the stove there, I'll do the gas hook up,." He moves to get in the floor to get the hose checking to make sure it is going to fit.

Surge has posed:
"Dude, I have an ID that says I'm twenty one /now/." Nori says, then considers what she says, "Hahaha, jay kay..." Furrowed brow, hand out for her energy drink, leaning way over the counter so that Sam doesn't have to bring it around to her. Once opened she guzzles half of it and runs the smooth part of her gauntleted palm across her chin.

"Doug! Where from? What kind? How long until they get here?" Another drink from her Monster, leaning forward on her elbows. Drumming metal fingers annoyingly against the can in her hands.

Cypher has posed:
Doug snorts, covering his mouth with a hand. "Lookit mistah handyman ovah heah." He says, before he shrugs. "I dunno, I got some of everything. Cold cuts, pizza, meatball -- I don't like subs with red sauce, they get soggy --" Then he snorts, and rolls his eyes. "Ooooh, B-double-e-double-r-u-n, beer run, B-double-e-double-r-u-n, beeeeer ruuuuuun..." He whistles. "All we need is a ten and a fiver, car and some keys and a sober driver--"

Nightingale has posed:
     "If a sub with red sauce gets that soggy that fast, then it just hasn't been done right. Yeah it's going to happen, but still..." Shannon's voice has begun to regain some of its volume, but she can't get rid of that blush. Wait, was she hearing Doug right? "And I thought these two were nuts... beer run? Really?" Oh man. What was the next step--gummi bears?

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
With a beleagured sigh Ellie hops back off her stool and heads over to help Kentucky with the stove. First step, she picks up the instructions and fips through them reading to make sure they don't just blow everything up. "Okay that should be fine." she peers at the hookup. "Make sure the fire and explosion didn't damage the hose.. don't want a gas leak."

Surge has posed:
Nori pops back up on her stool and leans upon her elbows, half watching the work on the oven she destroyed, half watching nothing at all. There's a droopy, dumbass smile and a little half lidding to her eyes, which probably has a lot to do with the gummi bear she popped in her mouth.

Sugar, right? Crazy things happen with sugar.

Doug's singing has her drumming metal fingers against her cheek and temple though, even if a little off beat and dull.

"Explosive-o!"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie callls out from behind the stove, checking it for damage or leaks now, and no beer runs." he says as he continues to work. "Ask Doug what happens if I catch ya drunk before your old enough to legally drink." He says from his spot behind the stove.

Cypher has posed:
Doug rolls his eyes. "There were extenuating circumstances. And you never did tell me what you did with all the *money* I won that night!" He snorts, and then begins handing Sam tools. "Screwdriver. Wrench."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon mostly just keeps quiet, not keen on making any further inadvertantly racist remarks. There isn't a lot for her to do, though, and her mind starts going back over training from earlier that day. One of these days, she'd get it right. Maybe. Who knows?

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Negasonic watches carefully. She even helpfully points at tools for Doug to hand to Sam now. I mean other than plugging it in and attaching the gas line there isn't much to do except set the clock as far as she can tell once it is ready to go.

"Oh and we need..." she removes all the stuff from inside the stove, shipping stuff and sets it on the counter nearby.

"Kentucky. I'm pretty sure you won't do nothing."

Surge has posed:
"Oh, sandwich." Whatever's left of Negasonic's sandwich is quickly eaten in a couple quick bites, Nori sucking her metal clad fingers clean afterwards and then settling forward against the counter to begin drumming fingers against her face again. "Can you guys hurry? This is boring."

First watching Sam shimmy the thing into place, then Doug do his little part, and even Shannon being all quiet, "Hey! Shan-o! Why you so quiet?"

Cypher has posed:
"Oh, he'll do something." Doug says, wrinkling his nose, "But probably not what he did to me. I cringe whenever I see a bathtub full of ice. And champagne still makes me want to throw up. ...Don't even like the smell of it."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles as he comes out from behind the stove "Oh I don't have to be the one to torment, Dani is back, Ah can have her torment you and even hold ya in the shower if need be." He grins and dusts himself off "Ok, should be good, Ah am going to head up and get a shower."

Cypher has posed:
"I'm gonna go for a walk." Doug says. "Just take the subs off the delivery guy when he pulls up to the gate. I already tipped, so it's cool." He waves two fingers to the group.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Negasonic pushes the thing making it slide into place and then checks the clock, programs the time, and turns on a burner to make sure all system checks work. "Oh wait.. turn the gas back on." she just laughs.

"Try no to drown Kentucky.. and even if I am hung over I can blow things up so Dani better watch it."

Her attention goes to Shannon and Noriko to see what happens there.

"Thanks Doug."

Nightingale has posed:
     "Just got a lot on my mind. Sorry about the thing earlier." She only speaks up when Sam is gone, smiling a little bit. The stove was in, subs were sure to be there soon, and hey, the company was good, so what could be wrong? Right?

Surge has posed:
"Why? What thing? Huh?" Nori leans her elbows forwrad, so that her face goes forward, towards Shannon. "What the hell are you talking about?" She's already forgotten, just like that.

A little shift has her looking over at Ellie, one hand peeling away from her face to wiggle her fingers at her and put it back up against her jaw. "Are you almost done? I ate your sandwich..."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I saw.. but Doug ordered a ton of subs for us all so I didn't feel the need to blow you up for your crimes against humanity.. or ship you to the Hague." she says it so chipperly walking back around to lean against Noriko now.

A Whisper "She is sorry for being racist earlier." stage style.

Nightingale has posed:
     A turkey and swiss sub falls prey to Shannon's hunger, though she tries not to devour it all at once. Yet. Yeah right, epic fail. "Got a lot on my mind from the training run, too, but it's not important. I'll just have to work on getting a lot better at things." She shrugs, smiling a little bit.

Surge has posed:
Nori leans back against Ellie, tilting her head over to rest it on the other mutants shoulder with a yawn into the back of her right gauntlet, "Oh... right yeah." She doesn't even acknowledge the fact that she might have been near getting blowed up. She believes that exactly zero percent.

"You're fine, Shin-o. I was just busting your balls.. You did good out there with McCapey Fucker and then /even better/ in the Danger Room.. You saw me sweating like a pig and I've been training for two years... You're /good/ don't let that shit bug you so much."

Elbowing up against Ellie's hip, "Tell her she's doing good or something. She looks like a puppy that got their ball taken... it's breaking my heart and shit."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Negasonic tips her soda towards Shannon "You done good kid." then she pauses and looks between them.

"Who is McCapey Fucker and what Danger Room run?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon just shakes her head. "Maybe. Still got a lot of room to improve, though. But damn it, did I have to mess up so badly in front of Sam?" She chomps down on the sub just to give her mouth something to do other than to keep running, at least for a few minutes. "McCapey? That's just what she calls Spawn. I drew lookout duty yesterday, guess they needed someone and I was pretty much just in the right place at the right time. Danger room was using that scenario, earlier today. Let's just say if it were the real deal, Josh and Zap here would have both been dead if they were relying on me. And in front of... oh for pete's sake..." She just shakes her head, exasperated with herself, and shrugs. "Just have a lot of work to do, that's all."

Surge has posed:
"Are you sweet on him?" Nori has no filter when she's sober (and not amped up on energy juice), but when she's eating gummi bears? Far less so. "You ...areeeeeee..." Her head pops up off Nega's shoulder, "Oh... muuuuh... gawwwwd.. You're sweet on Kentucky?"

She's heard Ellie and shivers visibly at the mention of the things name. "Went on a mission with Kitty, Shan-o, uhh... Indian lady that's teaching PE now ... and Josh. This guy was crazy creepy, Ellie.. His cape moved on its own and he had this god damned chains that knocked me through a wall."

Which is one of the reasons she had to go to the early morning Danger Room rehash session.

"She's being extremely hard on herself, she did fine.. You did fine." First to Nega, then to Shannon. "Stop trying to impress Sam and just do, man.. his ONE trick is flying really fast and hitting shit with his head.. You're /good/, trust me."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Yeah I mean I can do his trick and all my tricks... you are doing great Shannon." it is well known she considers Kentucky a Negasonic ripoff even though he was here first.

"Okay so you were fighting a guy in a living cape with chain weapons that could knock you through a wall... why on earth wasn't I there?"

She doesn't tease Shannon for a crush oddly. At least not yet.

Nightingale has posed:
     Oh, man. Busted. Shannon resolves to avoid the topic of matters of the heart around these two, or it would likely wind up all around the school at warp speed. "Yeah, okay, so there's the flying really fast thing. We're also talking some serious agility here. Who the hell do you think's been working with me on flight training, mostly? And Josh on the healing thing... but that needs a lot of work, too. It's really difficult to control."

     She shrugs a little at the description of Spawn. "He sure sounded creepy enough on comms, but I didn't actually get to see -how- creepy till the training session this morning. And there -were- some good points. Strength training's a good idea, which is kind of why I was pissed about the oven being busted. Do you have any idea how much strength it takes to make bread entirely by hand, no machines or anything?"

Surge has posed:
After the initial teasing, when Shannon doesn't rise to the challenge, Nori drops it and settles back on her stool next to Ellie, "I tried to get you." She assures the teen beside her, "I ran upstairs looking for you and everything, but they said I had five minutes to get my shit and get on the blackbird.. you know how much I love flying." She shrugs both hands up and then drops them with a clink against the counter.

"It was in Bludhaven and I'm pretty sure he's pissed off, so with any luck we'll get to fight him again." Assuringly to Negasonic, side glancing Shannon, "See? Siver lining that shit up, man.. You learned a few things about yourself that you didn't know, can work on them, and then boom impressing people like whoa."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I am sure you did great Shannon and you know I can fly like he can... it is all about controlled kinetic explosions.... also the bird alien should still meet you sometime."

To Nori she squints. "Well.. okay I can't blame you. Why on earth were you fighting something called Spawn anyhow?"

Nightingale has posed:
     "You've got the controlled explosions, I don't. I have these." Shannon spreads out her wings to nearly their full span for a moment, or as far as the space in the kitchen will allow. "I guess maybe some of the principles are close." She nibbles on her sub a little bit, more picking at it than eating it now but hey, at least it was food in the belly! "There was something they needed from Spawn. Not quite sure what for, I was just glad to at least try and help."

Surge has posed:
"They told me and I know it was important, but I was so amped up about getting to fly on the Blackbird I completely forgot." Nori squints, rubbing at her temple for a second as if to coax out the answer to these difficult questions and more, "OH! Something about needing necroplasmic fluids for some kind of ritual or something. I don't know, it sounded way above my paygrade. All they had to tell me was-" chopping with both hands against the edge of the counter, "Fly on the black bird." Chop, "Fight weird creature with chains and animate cape." Chop, "Come home amped up on an entire city block worth of energy.."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Man Nori... I am surprised you didn't short out the Blackbird with that much juice..." she trails off.

"So bird alien flight lessons sometime Shannon?" then looks back to Nori. "You full yet?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods. "That sounds good. Don't want to wind up being the weak link, you know?" Yeah, next time the call went out, she was determined to be better prepared than the last. It was pure luck that mission hadn't gone sideways ten different ways from Sunday and she knew it. However hard anyone else could be on her, she was ten times worse. "So, Zap... you were talking about the strength training thing after the simulation. What do you do for yours?"

Surge has posed:
"I... well they parked it a good ways away, which was smart, but I was so god damned amped, Ellie..." Nori shakes her head, sucking a breath inbetween her teeth remembering the thrill of /so much/ energy coursing through her. "It was like.. the other night.. the thing. It was like that."

She shivers, it really is like a drug.

A glance bakc at the subs, then at Ellie, "I mean, am I ever? I'm not starving.. why you want to bounce? We can take one of the subs?" There's a bunch of them.

Strength training? Nori turns on her stool to face Shannon... and then lifts both of her gauntlets up as if that explains everything. Her fingers work to tap in a keycode on the wrist of her right gauntlet and pull it off so that her regular fingers wiggle once free. She holds it out over the counter and drops it... The thing hits like a brick. 'CLANK' and doesn't evne wobble. "They weigh about fifteen pounds apiece. I got a good upper body grip."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I mean .. sure you definitely do a grand impression of a bottomless pit there Zapster but I still have to imagine that at some point you will fill on up." she reaches down and to the side poking Surge in the stomach lightly amused.

"Good upper body strength Zapster.. I mean sure I imagine grip too but strength." teasing lightly she gets to her feet and nods. "Yeah I think I am ready to roll if you are Nori." a grin, mischievous. "Enjoy the sub Shannon." real name again. What happened.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon tries to pick up the gauntlet and, while she can, lets out a low whistle at the heft of the thing. "Holy shit. Yeah, that'd do it. Well... you've got your thing, I've just got to find what works for me." She finishes up her sub, and grabs one more to take with her for a middle-of-the-night munchies attack later on. It looks for a moment as if she's about to hug them both, but then thinks better of it, letting them make the first move. "I'll see you two around and ummm... mind keeping mum on some things?" She coughs and turns a little red, leaving very little doubt as to what things she meant!

Surge has posed:
"Strength." Nori replaces her gauntlet and keys the locking mechanism back on with a hiss as it locks around her upper forearm. "Yeah, I've got to remember that." The poke to her stomach actually makes her giggle sputter, and tense up, "Not infront of the Angel." Teasingly as she slips down off the stool and snaps around towards Shannon, "You mean... Ooooh..." Snap-point, wink-wink, "Mums the word.. until I need baked goods. You can pay us in baked goods."

She falls in line beside Ellie, "So what're we doing because I /really/ need to get charged up. I feel the suck-drain..." When her charge level is too low. "Oh shit, let's go drain Dorkmeisters motorcycle.. He's going to punish me anyways, I might as well get juiced up over it."
