Character: Phoenix
(Post #6 on page.)

(BEGIN!)

In the city of Boston, everything seemed normal for 3:30 in the morning.

That is, everything except the car containing illegal firearms and murderous criminals screaming down Route 3, being chased by a teenager in mid-air.

"They are not getting away..."

He gained on the car, faster, and faster, when one of the criminals hung out the window and opened fire with a 9-millimeter handgun.

Alan squinted his eyes, lacing with flame, as the bullets disintegrated mid-flight.

The car began to speed up, reaching 100 miles-per-hour and still accelerating.

Alan began to fall behind more expediently.

Then, it seemed as if his whole world were set on fire.

He exploded toward the car, aflame as a whole, and began to gain on them.

He squinted his eyes again, concentrating harder. The car then exploded from beneath, and was sent flying down the vacant freeway, tumbling and crashing.

And then, he was finished.

The flames subsided, as he flew away from the persistent news helicopter, and away from the lawbreakers who would soon meet their fate in jail.

And he knew that he was done...

...For that day.

(*TAG, ANYONE*)

(Oh, and if you want, you can have that as the news story for when you wake up and turn on the TV. :P)

Oh look a melding of X-Menand Hero's, can't eb very origional now can we?

Alex sat in his chair, half looking at the t.v. through misty eyes. His grandpa gad died earlier that day and Jason sat at home thinking about life without him. On the T.V. was a a view of a man flying away from helicopters.
"Great anouther one."
Alex had a particular dislike of Mutants, all shapes powers and forms. One mutant with the the time traveling power had killed his grandfather for his own gain. Fitzroy. Alex clenched his fist and and sniffed. When he squeezed his fist the armrest moved up a alittle. Alex thought little of it, it was an old chair anyway.Alex got up from the chair and walked into the back yard, the flying man shot past, followed by a fewdozen news helecopters, he picked up a rock and threw it in the direction of the man, it fell short by a few hundred feetof course.

Alex sat on the grass, thinking of his grandpa's funeral, he hadn'teven taken off his suit yet. He brushed dirt of his shoulder and stood up and leaned on the fence. He grabbed the fence and shook it.
"Why the f*** did he have to die?!' He half shouted.
The wooden fence beneath him shook voilently. Alex took his hands off and loked at them, they had an aura around them. He held his handout to the fence and closed his hand slightly, the fence moved together and it folded up. He pointed his hand at the ground and it rose up.
James snapped his hand back in suprise and ran back inside the house.

(No, I guess we can't. :B)

Alan flew into his house through his bedroom window, finding his mother sitting on his bed.

"Uhh... Hi, mom!" He greeted her, nervously.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" She hissed.

"...No..."

"It's four-o'clock in the morning!" She snapped, angrily.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry!"

"If you can't pull yourself up to a reasonable standard, young man, I will personally kick you out of this house! Is that understood?" Her rant continued.

Fire blazed in Alan's eyes, as he said, "Yes, ma'am."

Today was going to be a long day.

(*TAG*)

OOC: I actually like the idea! I might use this character quite a bit!

Miles sat in his basement, looking at needles in the wall. His had had small holes in

his hands that seemed to close up in an instant.

"wh-what? I thought that I could only..." he looked over to his computer, and

retracted the wires that he had set up into the computor from his skin, and then

put them into his coat. He was adding pieces of his computor to his coat, and he

thought that all that made him a freak was his ability to use types of phsycic

power that he could master, currently only telepathy not so good at telekinises,

and fit parts of technology into him, or other things. He was making a

computor coat that he could use with his brain.

but that was the only thing on his mind, now he could shoot small needles out of his skin?

"I'm a freak, a dirty, ugly, stupid freak!"

He took a needle and jabbed it into his foot.

" A STUPID FREAK!"

Upon walking to school, Alan heard something peculiar from an open window. A shout. It sounded like someone was shouting out "FREAK"...

"...Is someone up there?"

(*TAG*)

Alex had been practicing. His power; bring life to things that are not living. Alex held his hands and lookedat them, they faintly glowed, he went back into the backyard and activated power. Giant hands made of earth ros from the ground and grabbed a rat scampering from a groundhog hole. The rat quirmed out and ran away. More hands sprang from the ground to grab it and then a earth cage trapped it and the grass tied it up. The rat queaked louldly and shouted.
"Stop."
It glowed for a second and turned back into a human.
"Mutant!' Alex half shouted.
Alex outstreatched his hand and grought the fence to life and pieces fo wood shot off from the fence and nails shot at the man. The man was able to bend and dodge around them with incredible ease.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa buddy. Whats the matter?"
"Your a mutant,your kind killed my grandpa."
"Ah yes but look at yourself. And your grandpa died from what you now are."
"How do you know?"
"I can sense other mutants."
Alex turned around and walked towards the gate.
"Leave and enver return."
Alex walked out through the gate adn the earth hands retracted and the fence reassembled, the man brushed himself off and left the yard.

Alex was walking towards the mourge, it was nighttime by the time he got there. He walked inside to see his grandpa one last time before they buried him. Alex looked at him for a moment and walked away, ti was jsut to sad,andit made him angry to think that he had died to mutants. Suddenyl Alex had an idea, he walked toward anouther dead person, someone he didn't know who had died in a car crash. He activated his power, and gave life to the non-living. Alex chuckled as he thought what he could do with his power.

As it was one of the only two thing Miles could do with his mind, he opened the window and rose slowly out.
"I am, what do you want?" Miles looked at him with a rude, but kind in a way attitude.
"Did it- did it happen to you too?" Miles shot a needle into a concreate wall.

"What do you do?"

{tag, runs away}

"All sorts of things." Alan said, telepathically.

The needle in the concrete wall pulled itself out and levitated into Alan's hand.

(*TAG*)

"I can do that too, but not as strongly, I need help mastering my psychic powers" which Alen heard faintly in his head.
"But I can control technology, I can even make things cyber-organic, like my coat. I can use it as a computor with my brain." he said that aloud, and then realising the pain in his foot, pulled out the needle VERY slowly with his mind.
"Will you help me get a hang of this?"

"I kinda have to get to school... It's just down the road, and I have an hour at lunch, so, will that be fine?"

(Le taggo.)

"Oh, yeah school, I guess I got ta go too. I hope that guy doesnt come try to hurt me again, I don't want to have a reaction to it and have needles fly out at him"
<Thats the last thing on my mind>
Miles reached down the window and grabbed his bag.
"Where do you go to anyway?"

"I go to North High School, and let me tell you, not pleasant."

Alan grinned as he walked ahead of Miles, towards the campus.

Alex had put the guy back and realized he had to get to school. He walked down the road to North High school. After about half an hour of walking he came across to guys.One was pulling a needle out of his foot and one stood over him. The one with a needle in his foot had a coat full of technology.
"Wow, what a geek." He thought.
Alexcasualy held his hand out a bit and brought the technology to life only to hae it squirm around inside the guys coat.
"hehehe." Alex chuckled to himself.
After he reached high school he sat down in his desk,when suddenly the window shattered and HE crashed through...

"What the hell was that in his coat?!"

Alan got up, and dusted himself off, noting the vacant classroom, with the exception of one student.

"If anyone asks, you didn't see anything."

He then ran out of the hole in the wall.

Miles zapped his coat and pulled it all back in. As soon as Alen was out of view he started messing with his coat and ran a hologram over the coat and he took the form of the boy that had died by his hands.
"I wish I could control my power's, then he would still be alive." Miles thought as he walked to the school.
"I'm such a freak..."
When Miles got to class he opened his compu-coat and started calculating the questions, but then something went wrong.
"GHAAA" a kid next to him srceamed. Miles' head began to hurt and the kid screamed louder.
"MAKE IT STOP!!!!" Miles somehow let go of him and pretended he didin't know what the kid was doing.
<whats wrong with me?> he thought.

Alan ran into his homeroom, just on time, and took a seat.

"I swear, if one more thing like that happens, I'm just gonna lose it..."

Miles realised that Alen was in the same homeroom, using his machine to think instead of his mind to make sure he wouldn't read his mind he asked:
"What happened? Just curious."

"Him again?" Alex thought.
Seeing him run into the classroom. The teacher gave a short little talk in the general direction of Alan and he sat down. The other guy was there to Alex though about all the living technology in the guys coat. He willed it to start moving sharply and start sending electric shocks through the guy. Alex chuckled as he thought how the Mutant would react.

out of pure shock, Miles's phsycic powers activated and sent Alex spiraling up into lights. Then all the desks in the room, including his, did the same.
Miles used telepathy to scream into Alex's head:
<I know who you are now, do it again and there will be trouble, this suit is part of me, and if you do it again trouble could happen.>

Alex stood up from the wreckage of desks. Seeing that the activation of powers and sent debris everywhere at high speeds, skewering the people in the imediate vicinity.
"Congratulations mutant, your little burst has killed these people. I can fix that."
Alex reached behind him and his hands glowed slightly the eyes of the fallen seniors sparked and they stood up and charged towards miles.
"Mutant..."

“ENOUGH!”

Alan shot into the air, his eyes lacing with fire. He stretched his arms to his sides, releasing a powerful, fiery kinetic shockwave that sent everyone and everything flying into the walls.

He then directed his arm to Alex, who levitated off the ground.

Consumed by flames and hellish fury, Alan flung Alex into a row of lockers, the latter leaving a noticeable dent upon impact.

(*TAG*. I'm posting from my Wii, at 2:30 in the morning (PST, U.S.). Huzzah.)

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT, IT'S YOURS ALEX! If you hadn't done that I would have been able to keep my powers in check. In a way, you killed them, now your just like every other one of us, or what you call 'mutants'. Your no better."
Miles walked over to him and shot needles into his legs. Then jumped out the window and ran home.
<again, im such a freak>

Anger subsiding, Alan floated to the ground, flames fading. He took one long look at the teenager named Alex, and walked off.

Alex yanked the needles out of his legs, one by one.
"Ruddy mutants."
The rat man from before stepped into the door, the students had already fled the building.
"So he got away did he?"
"Yeah, I tried to seperate him from his technology to weaken him, didn't think he'd give me the acupuncture treatment though." Alex replied as he took out a few more needles.
"Let me help." Said the man.
The rat man put his fingers to his head and concentrated, in his mind he could see Miles running down the street.
"He's on 5th street."
"Thanks." Alex said as he stood off.
He looked over to the resurected students.
"Go...bring him back." Alex told them.
The resurects left the room and ran in the direction of Miles.

<Alen, can you hear me? If you can, please help me, be beeter at this.>
Miles stopped and went to fly into his basement, but then he saw them. 32 of his dead classmates walking towards him. Miles stood there with his mouth dropped open, then ran into the croud and started flinging needles in all directions.
"DIE DIE D-AH" Miles was hit in the head, and was knocked out, but he wasn't just knocked out of his conscious, he was knocked out of his body. Thats when he found out why his phcycic power was so weak. He specialised in having his soul and body being pulled out of his body, like a ghost. As a ghost, he could make EMP fields, probbbly to reflect his electronic side.
"HOLY SHHhh, If I do master my full power, I could be dangerous." He ran back to his body and touched it, putting him back inside. by the time he got back in he had already got back to Alex, and he felt different, he felt like he wasn't himself, then he realised he didn't touch his shoulder, he touched the hand on his shoulder. He was inside a young man. He quickly shot back out and the resserrect droped back into death.

He jumped back into his self and jumped back.
"Alex, what do you want?"

"The eradication of all mutants of course." Alex replied.

"Alex, realise that you would have to kill yourself, this is not the way. We can work this out."
As Miles was chattering about what he could do, his coat meanwhile was still alive. It reached a wire into a USB port and shocked miles.
"GYAAAAAAA" He was out cold.

"Ah yes but I have thought about this." Alex said as he paced about. If the eradication of all mutants means killing my self then ti won't happen. For no mutant could posses this kind of power, or will to do the right thing! And besides I don't like to think of myself as a mutant, more fo a vindicator."
Alex sent a mental spark to the still living coat of Miles, who was shocked into unconciousness.
"Go to hell." Alex said as he brought the floor to life, which opened to let Miles fall through a few stories and into the basement.

<I don't think so> Miles woke up and came out of his body then pulled it up to the floor they were at. "Can't see me? GOOD" Miles ran up to alex the touched him. Memories poured into his head, he knew everything that he did. He jumped out then entered his own body.
"Alex, I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Please, I wouldn't EVER want to kill people EVER."
Miles jumped out the window and ran towards a message board that he remembered seeing an ad that he thought he should take into consideration.
<School for the power gifted...> He pondered and then took the flyer.
<Should I?>

Alex watched Miles fall, satisfied with his victory he left the school through the back enterance and walked towards the the city. City being New York. Alex walked towards an old building, a bed and breakfest, small, cutsey, adorable, everything Alex did not feel in the mood for right now. He kicked the sign over outside then walked away. Then he came back to it, and picked it up, and brushed it off.

After stalking off around the city he came to the city park . And there, the rat man.
"Hello." He cheerfuly said to Alex with a wave, learning on the bridge.
"Hi." Alex responded, in dislike of being in the pressence of a mutant.
"So whats on your mind?"
"None of your buisness." Alex replied.
"Well howzabout this? You calm down and I'll tell you what I came here to tell you."
"Fine."
The Rat Man walked over to Alex and touched his forehead, Alex stumbled backwards and felt recharged, and something more.
"Your power is exceptional Alex, life..."
The Rat Man walked over to a bush and picked a rosebud and smelled it.
"Its a beautiful thing. Easy to give...and easy to take!" The Rat Man said crushing the rose bud in this hand, letting the petels fall to the floor.
"Now Alex, your power to give life...means the power TO TAKE IT!"
Alex raised an eyebrow.
"Focus your power."
Alex held his hand up and aimed it at the bush, he squeezed his hand and the bush withered and died, green energy rose from it. Alex chuckled.

"Life and death... They're meaningless to you, aren't they?"

Alan walked up behind Alex, arms folded, and an inquisitive expression on his face.

"I thought I'd find you here."

Miles was walking down an alley when a man ran up to him with a baseball bat and hit him screaming:
"MUTANT" Miles got up and opened his eyes. They were full blown red, so much you couldn not see his pupils. Strange figures were coming around him, one of which, was Alex's grandfather. A lady he saw reported dead in a newspaper, and other dead people.
"My power isn't phcycic, it's controll of spirits, and I'm a poltergeist. Now leave youg man." The man ran away, and Miles followed his new friends to the place where alex was.
"So you give life? I controll the already dead."
Miles had his army waiting as he waited for Alex to respond.
"Hello Alen."

The two aproached Alex from behind, he and the Rat Man turned to face them.
"CarefulAlex." He said.
"I got this Alex replied."
Alex looked back and forth at the numerous spirits and thought about the powers of Miles, who seemed to change every 5 minuets.
'So miles...." Alex said as he walked around them.
"Your power commands ghosts? What use is ghost when it has no physical be-?"
Alex stopped short. Looking at the controlled ghost of his Grandpa.
"Gra-grandpa..."
Alex looked at him wiht a want like none other, then it turned to rage.
"YOU! First he is kiled by YOUR kind and now you don't leave him in piece!?!"
Alex's eyes glowed a brief flash of green as the stone of the bridge gave way into hole to quickly trap Miles and seal him in the concrete.
Alex turned to look at Allen.
"You misunderstand my values...only when you have lost the one most importnat cna you fully understand how it feels to have noone."
Alex returned his attention towards Miles, eyes glowing green.
"You raise the dead as ghosts, I raise the dead as physical beings, lets see how your resurection with benefit my cause..." Alex said as he walked over, hand outstreched and glowing green, Miles was trapped, sealed in concrete and about to have his life removed.

Alex's grandfather walked up to him, he had the sadest look ever.
"I wouldn't want you to do this, no I would rather have been killed by you for this to happen." Several spirits grabed hold of Miles and changed his cellular makeup, then pulled him out and made him physical again. Then his body dropped.
"Maybe I'll be more powerfull in spirit form, he said as five large needles flew towards Alex's head.

"Enough."

The needles heading for Alex stopped dead in mid-air, and the air itself seemed to be at a still.

The birds were frozen, with their wings in mid-flap; the cars and pedestrians, lifeless.

Miles' body and spirit merged, as if by force, and Alan looked hard at Alex.

"You can't let past experiences cloud your judgement of those who are like you. Revenge is merely a lliability. It serves no real purpose, but to destroy those who seek it."

The needles did stop in Midair, after they passed right through his head, being all spirity and all. Alex watched the refusion of Mile's body and spirit and waited for his opertunity to talk.
"I'm still amazed at your continuant defilance of my grandfathers memory. Your kind killed him, and then you dredge his soul up, then it starts playing on what little tolerance for your kinda I have left. But I know the truth, my grandfather died preventing your kind from spreading, the Mutant gene, mutates and eventualy becomes a disiese to be vaccinated."
Alex looked at the ground.
"But to have him stolen from me, my only family besides my older sister, my life itself, thats when revenge and this power become my driving, not my curse."\
Alex looked at the motionless world, the water still. Alex stepped up onto the bridge railig.
"You are indeed powerful, stopping time, and therefore a threat to what he stood for."
Alex jumped off the bridge and landed on the water, time was frozen so it did give way to his weight. He grought a boat nearby to life, it stopped being frozen and moved over to him, Alex stepped in and floated away.

Motions resumed, and time began to flow, again.

"You'll understand, some day..."

Alan stared after him, intent.

"...Hopefully before your revenge is your own undoing."

And, with that, he walked off.
