Insantaniously, Sleet felt better. Not only was he not angry at him any more, but he was touching him again! sleet felt wonderful, despite the agony he was in. In fact, that didn't really matter to him at the moment.
"TERREN!" Saint screeched in her highest pitch (surprisingly high, considering her voice was rather deep and gravely). "I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T FIX SLEET RIGHT NOW I WON'T HAVE[i/] TO KILL YOU MYSELF!" Saint vibrated agaisnt the box she was in, rage and panic forcing her will to beat off the mental intrusion. Terren knew exaclt y what got to her and what got to Sleet. She couldn't stand confinement and Sleet couldn't bear to not be able to feel.
As she dusted off Sergio's face, she felt a little weary, a little drained. Jazz pushed Serigo down onto some lump half under the couch and turned to Terren. "He is!" she said indignatly, "And Grayson woulda squashed poor Saint to bits! Do ya have any idea how big that guy was? Hones'ly! Tryin' ta play matchmaker fer those two - they never woulda worked out! Sergio's a much if ya ask me."
Chuckling inwardly, Bubbles snuck her rain-gray bubble up behind Terren,having remembered him and Jazz and that Grayson guy from when she badgered Saint to join up with Xavier's little group of mutants. She lengthened the bubble and made it thinner to fit Terren in good and proper, slowly sneaking it up on him. [Can I please catch him? Puh-lease?]

Andy's face went blank. Was Sleet, like, smiling or something? What the hell was up with this dude? Andy was going to drop Sleet on the couch when Mae hit him on the head, causing both Sleet and Andy to go down, with Andy falling in a confused heap on top of Sleet. Mae sat lazily in a corner, barely touched with flour, and sighed heavily. Sergio sat up apprehensively, looking about in a daze before coming to. As he did, he backed away a little, tripping over Shadow's arm, but managing to barely catch himself. "s**t. Ah... I'm.... I'm good." He whirled around, looking at Saint with large eyes. "S-Saint! What can I... hell yeah." Sergio sped towards Terren, the last of the speed he got from Saint, and whipped off his gloves. He was caught at the throat by Terren, who barely diverted his gaze. "What's his power, Saint? Changing the colors of the drapes or something? Would fit him." Smoke edged her way out from under the couch, sitting up enough that she could scooch a ways on her rear before running into Shadow with a startled squeak.

Autumnal Solstice Andy's face went blank. Was Sleet, like, smiling or something? What the hell was up with this dude? Andy was going to drop Sleet on the couch when Mae hit him on the head, causing both Sleet and Andy to go down, with Andy falling in a confused heap on top of Sleet. Mae sat lazily in a corner, barely touched with flour, and sighed heavily. Sergio sat up apprehensively, looking about in a daze before coming to. As he did, he backed away a little, tripping over Shadow's arm, but managing to barely catch himself. "s**t. Ah... I'm.... I'm good." He whirled around, looking at Saint with large eyes. "S-Saint! What can I... hell yeah." Sergio sped towards Terren, the last of the speed he got from Saint, and whipped off his gloves. He was caught at the throat by Terren, who barely diverted his gaze. "What's his power, Saint? Changing the colors of the drapes or something? Would fit him." Smoke edged her way out from under the couch, sitting up enough that she could scooch a ways on her rear before running into Shadow with a startled squeak. [Ooh, Mae is evil! Time to introduce Kitty-Sleet!] Sleet purred happily when Andy fell on him. He could finally feel just about everything there was to feel, except Andy's feet. Sleet stretched out, making a small, cat-like noise as he did so to scrape his toes against Andy's. He then returned to purring loudly and happily. Things just couldn't get better. [Wow, Sleet's such a hippie. xD] Shadow caught Smoke, pushing her a little ways away, focusing on converging every shadow in the house to shroud Terren and Jazz and inadvertantly Bubbles as well. "Terren!" Jazz shrieked, slapping his hands viciously away from Sergio, brushing her hands against Sergio's skin a second time. "He sucks the life outta people, or don't ya remember?" Jazz pushed Terren away from Sergio and taking a huge step back into the wall.Eagerly, Bubbles wrapped the rain-gray bubble around Terren. Shocked as he was, he was putty in her bubble.Saint raced toward Terren, shoving Shadow and Smoke well out of her way. She was already poised to deal a lethal blow to Terren, frim in her belief that killing him would undo all his mental magic. Unfortunately, Saint collided with the rain-gray bubble she and Bubbles had ridden up to the apartment in. Furiously she glared at Bubbles, screaming for her to release him so she could pound him into a bloody pulp. Bubbles covered her ears, crouching slightly, screaming that she couldn't hear anything and she wasn't going to let Terren out, 'cause then he'd trap her again and Bubbles hated it when people couldn't use their powers. Saint screamed even louder at her, until Shadow came up and placed a cold hand on her shoulder. "Relax," he whispered. She gradually calmed down, still heaving in wrath, giving Terren full dosage of her most terrifiying glare.[Do ya mind that?]

Terren looked at his his sister, completely ignoring the bubble surrounding him. "Since when? How come you never tell anyone anything, Jazz? Bah, can't believe I touched him. And you say that is a good match for our little Saint?" Sergio was crackling with uncontrolled power at this point, his neck a little bruised. He stood up, experimenting with the power a little, and shockedJazz on the back of the neck, the side facing away from him. He stood up unsteadily, his face still pale, a little ashen, even though the flour was mostly gone thanks to Jazz's attentions. Having been pushed around for the past couple of seconds, Smoke was a little off-balanced. Twirling like a dancer on one leg, then the other, she had barely managed to control herself when she appeared by Bubble's side, comforting her while at the same time steadying herself.
( Wow. Umm... let's just say that Andy blacked out. Heh. )

[Niiiiiiice. Lmao.]
"'Cause you nevah ask!" Jazz stated, then swatted away Sergio, clutching the back of her neck. "An' anyway! He scareda touchin' people. An' he wouldn't touch Saint - gawd, he's like a freakin' fangirl in Johnny Depp's pants!" [Roflmao.]
Saint sighed, staring at Jazz as if she was two. "Quit making analogies about yourself, Jazz. Sergio does not act like you would in Johnny Depp's pants, obviously, otherwise I'd have been attackedand raped on sight." Shmackdown! She waved Shadow away and he padded off, a little over-protectively, toward Smoke. "And you," Saint said, rounding on Terren once more, "consider yourself very, very lucky you're in a bubble right now. Otherwise, you know you'd be dead."

"Yeah, that's why I let her. Once I get my powers back, though, that this guy took from me, I can put you back in your box. And everything will be good again. Capish?" Sergio, barely registering what everyone was saying, made another little explosion, this time creating a little burn, both on Jazz and himself. He yelped and jumped back. "Damn kid can't even use my powers right. You alright, Jazz?"

Sergio, barely registering what everyone was saying, made another little explosion, this time creating a little burn, both on Jazz and himself. He yelped and jumped back. "Damn kid can't even use my powers right. You alright, Jazz?" Jazz glared at Terren. "Fine," she growled, rubbing the burn. "And don't you think we should be a little nicer to these people? Don't we need them to get rid of Zorinthos for us?" she snapped, angry from the burn and irate from Terren's superior additude."Zorinthos?" Shadow murmured quietly. He remembered Zorinthos - rather like a father to him. And then he went evil and Bubbles recruited him. Shadow hadn't seen Zorinthos since then, though he'd heard his name whispered in the slums every time something big happened. "And why should we help you?" Saint asked coolly, regaining her position of power once more. Everyone knew who Zorinthos was - leader of all organized crime. Every criminal in the city, even the lowliest cutthroat and the highest drug lord, answered to Zorinthos. It would be assumed that Terren and Jazz wished to take his place.

"Yeah, I guess. As much fun as this was, I won't forgive that b*****d for sending someone to shave my ******** hair. Let alone, y'know, everything else. " Terren looked uncomfortable. Seeing as he had a full head of hair, Sergio decided not to push it. ( o_0 ) "Whatever. You messed with Sleet and Saint, and just about everyone here-" "Not me," Mae interrupted. "I'm fine. Please, continue." "-So I'm not gonna help. a**." Smoke hummed a little, resting her head on the wall. She was looking at Jazz like she wanted to help; the little hum of confirmation was simply a formality. She rubbed her neck almost self-consciously.

"See what you did?" Jazz snapped at Terren. "Honestly! I told you we should have started with what Zorinthos was doing to that boy ofver there being . . . laid on . . . by that other . . . guy . . ." Jazz trailed off awkwardly as silence fell. Apparently this psychotic boy was purring under this other boy, who was, thankfully, unconcious. "Yeah . . . So . . . we'll just leave you in that bubble for now and we'll go kick Zorinthos' a** and come back to rub it in your face, eh, Terren? How does that sound to you?"
Saint stayed quiet, realizing the point Jazz was making. She glanced over at Andy and Sleet and, sighing, whizzed over to them, gave Andy a harsh kick to the stomach, and whizzed back into place.
Shadow mused on what exactly Zorinthos had done. It was obvious to him now, that what was wrong with Sleet was Zorinthos' work. It was just the kind of thing he'd do, along with sending someone to shave off someone else's hair. He pondered curiously what it was that Jazz and Terren had done to piss him off.
"Innit Zorinthos that little Irish guy with the messy red hair and all the freckles?" Bubbles asked, popping up brightly now that Saint wasn't angry. A quick nod from Jazz told her yes. "I dunno, guys, I think he's kinda adorable . . . " She earned lots of shocked and disgusted stares. "I may have met him on the street about a week ago and ate lunch with him . . . a dinner . . . and spent the night at his house . . . and then had breakfast with him . . ." Bubbles grew very, very quiet, and very, very scared. It was pretty obvious now that she'd done something horribly wrong. Why hadn't anyone ever warned her Zorinthos was so cute?!
"Hmmm," Shadow hummed, looking over Bubbles. Happy-go-lucky and eadorable and excited and bouncing off the walls constantly was his type . . . "Did he recognize you?"
Bubbles shook her head. "At least, I don't think so . . . " She felt like such an idiot now.
Shadow nodded. "Good. Then this might work the way I plan it to."

Andy keeled over. What a way to wake up. His insides felt like they were on fire, and his outside... felt dirty. Very much so. He sat up with a jolt, then fell off the couch clutching his stomach. "Wot the 'ell is wrong wit' you guys? Lemme alone!" He cried, scooching over to Mae's corner, not realizing she was there as his butt nearly ran over her toes. She kicked him, sending him back over his knees. "Watch out, you idiot. No one wants to hear your complaining." Smoke looked gingerly at Bubbles, opening her mouth and closing it quickly there after. She dashed off to the kitchen, putting all the food away. She was beet-red for reasons she didn't even know. Sergio's nostrils flared. "I don't care what you decide. I'm not going unless Saint and Sleet are alright. Otherwise I'm staying here."

She was beet-red for reasons she didn't even know. Sergio's nostrils flared. "I don't care what you decide. I'm not going unless Saint and Sleet are alright. Otherwise I'm staying here." [What about Terren's reaction?] Sleet curled into a little ball, whimpering again. Why'd his cuddle-buddy leave him again?Jazz just stared at Bubbles, opening and closing her mouth like a fish, having no idea how to reply but still wishing to.Saint sighed. "I'm fine. Although that does explain why Bubbles went missing last week. Perhaps it really was a gift from God." She looked over at Shadow, watching Smoke in the kitchen. How adorable, she thought, before returning her attentions to Sergio's anger problem. "Sergio - " she started, interupted by a fairly loud squeal of delight coming from one Sleet. Andy's head had apparently collided with Sleet's knees, and Sleet sat up and hugged him like a . . . teddy bear. "The only way we're . . . fixing . . . Sleet is if we get Zorinthos to do it for us. Apparently Shadow has a plan to do that." Everyone looked expectantly at Shadow. [Poor Andy, getting his head hugged.] He hated it when people stared at him. "Bubbles," he said, looking over at the scared and embarassed girl, "seduce him." Bubbles blinked at him. 'How?' was written all over his face. Shadow sighed. "Never mind. Just do whatever you did to get him to let you sleep over at his place."Bubbles beamed. "Just be me without S- anyone yelling at me to calm down and behave?" she asked excitedly, bouncing up and down very quickly. Shadow rolled his eyes and nodded. Bubbles squealed happily. "I'll go find him right now!" she said, turning for the door."Wait!" Saint called, zipping over to Bubles and grabbing her arm. "We need to figure out where you're taking him so we can capture him." Bubbles looked up at her. "But can't he read my mind?" she asked. Saint nodded. "That's why you forget that and jsut remember you're hungry and you want pizza." Bubbles beamed. "I can do that!" The younger teen bounced out of the apartment, squealing happily as she did so. Saint sighed, shuting the door."I think that due to Sleet's current . . . mindset . . . that he, Andy, and Mae should stay here," Shadow offered up. Saint nodded in agreement. "So, anyone up for pizza?" Jazz asked innocently, looking at the other mutants.

( Umm... He just sat there, with his arms crossed I guess? Hee. I forgot him. ) "Goddamnit, Sleet, lemme 'lone!" Andy tried to pull his head out of the embrace, but succeeded only in giving himself a rugburn. Smoke, being of fairly short stature, was trying to get on the counter, to better see what was going on... while pretending to put the cups up in the high cupboard. Sergio crossed his arms, muttering a quiet "Sure." He was quickly forgotten, however, when Mae got up to her feet, yelling at Saint for this, that, and the other thing. "Why do I have to stay here with this lump and his lovesick puppy? Not like I'm gonna be able to beat any sense into Spikes, no matter how I try. So just leave these two here. Let me go with!"

Sleet was unaware of the fact that Andy jsut wanted him to let go, and moved his arms so her was hugging Andy around the waist, purring like a motor as he did so, squashing Andy into him."Calm down, Mae. It was just a suggestion. Besides, it'd be really weird if you went with a bunch of teens to get pizza and generally hang out," Shadow soothed. "Besides, someone's got to be here to explain things to Xavier when he gets back." Mae's angry outburst really shocked him. Saint sighed, opening the door. "C'mon, Smoke!" she called, stepping outside. "We're getting pizza." She padded out of the apartment, leaving the door open for Sergio, Shadow, Jazz, and possibly Mae.

"I am going to come," Mae replied sullenly. "Andy can explain to X himself. And I don't look that much older than you..." Mae trailed off, looking at herself self-consciously. "C'mon, Mae, you don't seriously think you look old, do you? You look younger than Shadow anyways. Shadow looks old whenever he wears a coat..." Sergio laughed, prompting a little laugh from Mae herself. Smoke poofed in front of Shadow, running to the door and only pausing to wave to Sleet and the awkward Andy. Without pausing to look at the sky, she grabbed her windbreaker off of a chair. Terren flexed his hands. "How long does your power take to wear off, anyway? It's annoying." "About a week." "You're lying." "Yeah, I am. Now stop complaining. You're starting to sound like Andy." "Hey!" The last remark was a shout, in unison, by both Andy and Terren, both of whom sounded highly offended.

"You guys can't leave me behind!"Shadow sighed, rolling his eyes. "Perhaps, Mae, Terren can explain?" he said, padding off after Saint, Smoke, and Jazz, Mae and Sergio with him. Sleet purred.[Dane's Zorinthos - he's Irish. 3nodding ]
