My name is Blink
though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry  "Blink... darling," Warp said, his voice though sickeningly sweet thinly veiled his annoyance, from his seat as he watched the controls of the plane, "can't you play nicely with others for once? Not all of us have your morbidity in reminiscing about how our lives changed when we realized our powers and the reactions of those who claimed to love us at one time."Blink rolled her eyes and sighed, "I'm bored...""There's probably something under your seat to read that one of the other Brotherhood left," he snapped.
Blink stuck out her tongue and dug under the seat, pulling out what looked like a stack of smutty romance novel. She glanced at it in disgust and muttered, "Sometimes I worry about you guys: 'Knight Moves' and 'Highland Stallion"... time traveling knights and centaur novels-"
"So it isn't Shakespeare," Warp snapped. "Just shut up. You don't have to read them but that at least will keep you busy." Blink rolled her eyes and tossed 'Highland Stallion' to Shadow Walker and opened 'Knight Moves' and said, "You can read about the chick getting it on with the centaur. I'm going with the time traveling knight." Several hours passed, and Blink had adopted a bright red face and a shock look on her face as she read.
She glanced up when she felt the plane begin to lower. Shutting the book she glanced out at the window, where buildings in the distance were growing larger. "We're here already? Thank God... I should have picked Highland Stallion... I don't think some of that stuff in the one I was reading is even possible. Well, it might be possible but that just- ow..."
"I could have told you that: the centaur one is more noraml the guy is a shape-shifter. Link reads them aloud for us," Warp replied before adding. "Your mother mostly sculpts male genitalia for a living: how can a romance novel surprise you? Regardless, we'll be landing on one of the building's roofs in Manhattan soon. We have about three minutes before landing."

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker caught the book, using her power to use the darkness of her hand like a catcher's mitt. She placed the book in the pocket of the seat in front of her. "Maybe later" she softly said. She wanted to close her eyes for a little while. Sleep brought her dreams and ideas on what she and Amp would do once they were away from Warp. Then she had this sinking feeling toward the end of the dream of Warp finding out and banishing her from Genosha. She woke up to find that the plane was getting ready to land. It was just in time to hear Warp's remark about what Blink's mother's work entails. She merely quirked an eyebrow as Warp pointed out that they were about to land. Shadow Walker was thinking about the end of her dream. What if Warp found out that she was working with him to get him to the X-Men? Is there any way to ensure that they wouldn't get caught? Butterflies of uncertainty started to fill her stomach. She let out a deep breath as she tried to ensure herself that this was indeed the right thing to do. Hopefully Amp would make his move soon, the anticipation was killing her.

a.k.a. Amp  The jet landed softly on a roof, overlooking traffic and a steady stream of taxis. "We're at 57th and 9th... the MRD head will be giving his speech in the middle of Central Park... do you need a map to get us there?" Warp asked, turning most of the switches on the jet off.
Blink rolled her eyes and said, "Puh-lease. We're in Hell's Kitchen, or Midtown West as some people call it. I always preferred Hell's Kitchen. More fun. We're actually pretty close to Central Park. And did you land us on the Windermere building?"
Warp shrugged, "I don't know. This is where Link always said was a good place to land because it is currently being repaired or something...""Right, Link grew up in Alphabet City, right?" Blink sighed before musing. "I didn't peg him for one to come down here. Or learn building histories..." She stood and stretched. "I may not be a native New Yorker but I spent enough time here to know the major sights- better to explore the city than staying in mom's apartment or studio down in Greenwich."Warp sighed, "Can you just teleport us to the street, preferably in a manner than doesn't attract attention?"
"Yeah, yeah," Blink sighed walking away, "After I go to the bathroom. I don't want to have to go after we get set-up..."
Meanwhile Amp was making his way from the cargo hold slowly towards the front of the plane. He had drained everyone's powers but Shadow Walker's while the plane landed. He heard talking and had to smile, Blink and Warp hadn't noticed, yet. He carefully weighed the baton he had picked up in the back in his hand. The plan was to knock Blink out first, then to take a knife, taking Shadow Walker 'hostage' so she could drop him off somewhere he could eventually find the X-men.
As Blink rounded the corner for the bathroom, he struck from behind. Blink collapsed to the floor with a thud and Amp winced at the sound, "That's going to hurt..." he muttered.
Warp watched Blink go and sighed, he turned to ask Shadow Walker how the flight was, when he paused with a frown. "Did you hear something?" He asked instead.

my name is Shadow Walker "I think so. I'll go check." Shadow Walker unbuckled her belt and went to look in the back to find Blink on the floor. She didn't see anyone or anything around. Kneeling down she tried to arouse Blink. "Wake up Blink!"

a.k.a. Amp "Thanks," Warp said as Shadow Walker left. "She probably would go off on me if she just end up stubbing her toe or something..." With a sigh he leaned against the pilot's chair to wait for the two girls to come back. Picking up Blink's smartphone he turned it on, hoping to verify details about the parade. "Dammit," He muttered as he tried to figure it out, "Aren't these things supposed to be simple?"
Meanwhile Blink groaned slightly at Shadow Walker's call but she couldn't pull herself out of her sleep yet- she didn't want to. Her head hurt... what happened again? Someone hit her from the back and she fainted... is that what happened?
As Shadow Walker tried to rouse Blink, Amp came from behind, moving to place a blade at her throat. In the same move he hissed in her ear, "Don't worry: she'll wake up eventually... though she did hit her head pretty hard. Worse case scenario a concussion... I hope you don't mind if I take you hostage for a short while? Should we notify Warp first that you are going to be my transportation to get away? It isn't like he can do anything. I've already drained his power during landing."

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker was caught off guard as the blade was placed on her throat. She held her hands up in surrender. Her mind went to the assumption that he absorbed her power as well until he needed her power. They moved back toward Warp. "Warp!"

a.k.a. Warp 
Warp dropped the phone at the call of his name. He jumped into motion and in seconds reached where Amp was holding Shadow Walker at knife point leading her towards him. His eyes darkened and his glare was murderous as he muttered a few words, planning and starting his attack to disarm Amp.
He could visualize it perfectly- the blade shattering, the bones in Amp's hand and knee shattering into dozens of pieces, the knife reforming in his own hand, and he taking it to Amp's own throat and asking the kid to give him one good reason not to slit his throat now and put Amp and everyone else out of their misery. Except nothing happened. The blade didn't shatter, Amp was as healthy as ever, and no blade reformed in his hand.
Warp took a deep breath and forced a smile, "You took my power."
Amp nodded, "Yeah... when we were landing. I'm not stupid enough to provoke you and reveal myself without ensuring you aren't a threat. You are pretty powerless right now you know."
Warp raised a brow, "Perhaps, but just how far do you think you are going to get? Off the jet, sure... I'm half tempted to say go- good riddance. Let Cassie and the rest of the homosapien worshiping X-do-gooder-men deal with you. But you are aware in less than 24 hours New York City is going to be crawling with MRD and at least one Sentinel. You are only an amplifying device for others powers. You're useless a-" He paused and said, "Ah, you didn't drain her power. You plan to use her power. How long do you plan on borrowing her? I doubt you have it in you to slit someone's throat, which if I was in your shoes I would do once I was done with her. That brings me to something, though, how exactly did you get out of your apartment. The only way in or out of there is teleportation or phasing through an object."
"You're supposedly the genius. Why don't you figure it out?" Amp replied.

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker had never been taken hostage before at least not that she could remember. Though , Warp had pointed out something very important. Amp didn't drain her power, which is why she could still feel a connection to her shadow ability and not drained like when he did before. With the last exchange it would only be moments before Warp would put two and two together. "He threaten me earlier... I shouldn't have gone alone... when I went to train with Amp. He took me hostage then and threatened to take my life. Warp... don't worry about me... go on with the plan!" Her eyes were worried and with her last phrase she and Amp dropped through their shadows.

a.k.a. Amp Warp was about to answer when the two disappeared into their shadows. He took a deep breath and snapped, "Seriously, the kid is 16 and a complete pushover... he doesn't have it in him to kill someone. Or at least I don't think he does. I suppose Cassie's power can do weird things to people. Power of love bull-crap or something. I'm going to gorge out her Medusa eyes myself the next time I see her. And kill Amp. I am so going to kill Amp..." He turned to Blink, leaned down and gently slapped her in the face, "Princess, time to wake up. We're down a man at the moment and I am not going to have this any job screwed over any more than it already is."Once pulled into the shadows, Amp let the knife go, though he still gripped her waist which he had held when he had her at knife point. With most teleporters you had to be touching for their power to work. Though, more powerful teleporters (such as Blink) could teleport objects and people who were merely close by and not directly in contact with her. Amp would guess that Shadow Walker would probably be able to pull the same trick off in theory. After all, her power was as great if not greater than Blink's. It was probably at the same level or higher than Warp's. The only difference between her and Warp was the nature of Warp's ability. There was a reason Warp tended to be so cocky: he was a God within his range. Anything and everything was essentially possible to him as long as he didn't over exert himself and something like reversing death might not be possible, but the guy's power was pretty grandiose.
On raw power levels, though, Amp decided he would probably place Shadow Walker higher. And, Blink was somewhere around Warp in power level with her teleporting ability so in theory Shadow Walker could do the same trick as Blink. However, he wasn't going to risk getting separated in transit, Shadow Walker was new at shadow traveling, after all. And didn't Blink mention something about an 'in-between'. His now free hand reached out and clamped on between her wrist and upper hand and he thought to himself: Idiot don't think about stuff like that. Blink was probably trying to scare her or something... right? His second thought was if there was a set destination that Shadow Walker had in mind as they emerged out of the shadows.

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker felt him hold her tight. She knew why though she would like to think it was for other reasons. They emerged in an alley next to the building. "You okay Amp?" It would seem kind of odd that she would ask about his well being over her own considering he had placed a knife under her neck mere moments ago. Lucky for her that the wig she is wearing wasn't affected much on their trip.

a.k.a. Amp
"Yeah," he said, quickly letting her go and stepping back. He held his stomach some and muttered, "I really, really don't like teleporting. Or flying. More teleporting than flying... And Warp is right: this place will be swarming with MRD and there will be at least one Sentinel that they will be showing off for the parade. And Manhattan will probably have a few mutant detectors at the very least floating around..."
He slid down the wall of the alley and buried his head in his hands, "I'm an idiot, right? I don't have some cool power that lets me stand on my own two feet. I am just a tool to others- an amplifier and a walking mutant collar. Guess that would make me sort of valuable to the MRD, right? Being able to disable powers at a distance, even they haven't figured that one out... and I have no money. No resources. And I've never been to New York in my life. Why couldn't this have been in Boston: I know Boston..."
He glanced up and forced a smile, "I guess I don't think things through very much... but hey, at least I am free, right? And if the X-men are around if and probably when the MRD catch up with me I'll be in good shape. Saving people is their sort of thing. Anyways, you can head back now: I'll figure things out from here. Thanks a ton for everything. Hope you don't get in too much trouble with Warp and the others."
OOC: I may be slow at responding/won't be able to respond to posts for a couple to a few days as I will be at my Dad's for that time and he has satellite internet (since not all parts of the US have access to high speed internet-first world problem, but the problem lies in the fact the governor of the state years ago said he would ensure high speed internet be available to all parts of the state by this time... glad to know my tax dollars are going to help projects that don't end up being accomplished.)

my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker's face sadden, "I'm sorry you didn't like the trip." she rubbed her arm. "Could I have my phone back?" She paused a moment gathering her response toward Amp's change in plans. "I thought I'd stick with you until we find the X-Men. I-I thought that was the plan. Then y-you'd amplify my power so I could go back to Genosha... Is that no longer the plan? I was kind of under the impression that you would use me as a way in. Turning in a member of the Brotherhood would speak volumes there and not question any further who's side you're on." She had this saddened and worried look on her face. She shook her head a little,"You'd preferred to be captured by MRD. Who knows what they'll do to you or how long it will take for the X-Men to rescue you." She held her head within her hands, "I didn't come all this way just to have you locked up again." She looked up at him as she said this, her eyes glowed glazed with tears. "I'd worry about you.." She said with barely a whisper. OOC: Understood. Merry Christmas Edited

a.k.a. Amp
He nodded and held out the phone. Forcing a smile he said, "Prefer to be captured by the MRD? God, no... the MRD aren't exactly the type to be nice to their prisoners and I would be in major trouble if they found out I was former Brotherhood, but I can figure something out. If I don't find the X-men today or tomorrow I'll find some underground homo-superior hideout: I do know there are a couple still in the city. Or at least so I've heard. I mean I’m not the most capable of people but I am not completely helpless, you know? I can sense homo-superior signatures if they are close enough."
His smile turned more genuine and he said, "Besides, I don't want to put you in any more trouble. The X-men have a psychic on their team: she should be able to tell if I'm sincere. And, I'm not going to hand you over to them just to curry favor with them. I'm not that desperate: doing something like that after all your help would be beyond screwed up."
He stood up and held out a hand to shake and said with a slight tinge of sadness in his voice, "Take care, okay? Stay out of trouble. Hopefully we don't end up meeting again any time soon since we're sort of enemies since I plan to join the X-men and you are Brotherhood and all..."
OOC: EDITED AND CHANGED!!!

my name is Shadow Walker When Amp held out the phone she took it and placed it in her pocket. Then listened to him, it looked like he had things thought out and there was no stopping him. She was hoping to stay with him a little longer but she probably would run into the same thing when she really had to let him go to the X-Men. She took a deep breath It's now or never... "Well you have a good head on your shoulders..." she took his hand and held him close. "I-Iluvyou" it sounded like a bit of a mumble when she said it hopefully he heard enough to figure it out. She placed a kiss on his cheek and let go a blush showed on her cheeks. "Goodbye and Good Luck." She waited for his response then drop down a shadow suddenly. She was going to miss him. She emerged back on the plane where she last saw Warp and Blink. "Warp... I made it back...Is Blink okay? Did she wake?"

a.k.a. Warp Amp's eyes widened at Shadow Walker's mumbled confession and said, "What-a-what?" His mind barely processed her words and he stared at her shocked: did she just say she loved him? That didn't make sense... he wasn't exactly the type girls liked. Or at least he didn't think he was. When he joined the Brotherhood there had been a few girls around his age who might flirt a little with him, but he wasn't exactly the cool one. He didn't have an awesome power. And, though he was in good shape, better than Warp, that didn't make up for the fact he was mostly awkward. He didn't say anything else as he stood there staring at where she had disappeared into her shadow. At least that would explain why she helped me, He thought grimly, feeling like an idiot and a bit of a jerk. He was in love with Cassie... he didn't really see Shadow Walker like that, and besides if he did, they were enemies now more or less like he said.Meanwhile Blink had woken up and was sitting on the floor rubbing the back of her head. Warp sat a few feet from her leaning against the wall, holding Blink's shattered phone. Every thirty seconds he would try to repair it, but his power still hadn't returned- and neither had Blink's. He glanced up as Shadow Walker appeared. "Oh, you're back," Warp said, forcing a smile, "I'm glad Amp didn't take my advice and kill you. Of course, he probably didn't have it in him, anyways... And, yeah, Blink is okay..." he said nodding towards where Blink sat."Like Hell, I am," Blink snapped. "I have a huge knot on the back of my head. It hurts like the Dickens. Considering all the things I've done for that brat..."Warp sighed, interrupting Blink, "The main problem is our powers haven't returned yet. That kid is getting better at draining powers. He's going to be a problem, especially if he does end up with the X-men lot. I assume that our powers will return within the hour, but it is taking longer than last time. Of course this time it seems he had planned things out a bit better."
"I probably won't kill him when I see him next, but I am going to break almost every bone in his body and drag him back to Genosha where he belongs. And while I'm at it, I'll do the same to my witch sister."
Sighing again he said, "Well, now that we have a teleporter that can actually use her powers, can you get us down near Central Park so we can plan out our attack and set up a base camp for our strike?"OOC/UPDATE: New character from the MRD has been officially accepted (feel free to check out the profile thread). Just a FYI.
