Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Usually they show their faces eventually. Hiding isn't their style usually," Cassie said with a shrug. "There are two new mutants on their team so I don't know the details myself. But if we ran into my brother we would know. A little taller than average, black straight hair, blue eyes, and smarmy sort of smirk that makes you want to deck him. Looks nothing like me. He must be adopted." She frowned, "Well I suppose there is some resemblance around the jaw line or something. Our parents claimed we looked alike besides the hair color and eye color difference."

She shrugged, "Anyways, I would assume the Brotherhood are holed up in some sniper spot or whatever. Physik and Myth would be taking care of that. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask." She pecked Felicia on the cheek and said, "Watch me work my magic." She cracked her fingers and then draping an arm around Felicia's and Crystal's shoulders dragged them with her to the group that Blink had spoken to not long before.

"Hey, I saw you had an iPhone and I was wondering if you could look up for me when we get to see they explain the new MRD sentinal. My phone died a few minutes ago. What can you expect with a Droid, right?" Cassie laughed. "I heard that Apple did the optics on the sentinal. Top of the line stuff...." She began chattering about various Apple technology and what she had heard about the sentinal line while one of the guys looked up the schedule for the events.

One of the girls from the group frowned and said, "Oh yeah, did you lose track of anyone?"

"Huh?" Cassie said looking up from the phone as she leaned towards the guy operating the phone.

After much thought and debating in her head she came to a decision. She must warn Warp's sister, Casssandra... Diaz? She knew how the girl looked like based on Amp's painting. Based on the way the Black Reaper addressed Warp as 'Diaz' it seem to be a last name and it is a common Latino last name from what her general knowledge gathered. In the end she had enough to find her. Now... an excuse to leave the room for a moment. "Hi Warp, I need to go find the bathroom. I'll be right back." she waited for his response, then stepped back into her shadow and started looking for Cassandra. She figured that since they just arrived they would be toward the back. Every shadow cast was a window to the surface. No one could detect her while she traveled within the shadows not even people with the same power. A while later she came across familiar looking locks of hair. She saw her face. That's her...now how to get the message to her... she noticed there was shadow from her hair. She swallowed hard and spoke in a whisper, it would be hard to decern if it was a girl or a boy speaking to Cassie the voice could be heard on her right ear away from the boy she was talking to about apple. "Cassandra Diaz, watch your back someone is looking for you." that was all she said and started heading back to Warp.

She thought it would be best to emerge from the bathroom since she told him that where she went, besides what if he asked her where the bathroom was. She emerged from his shadow, "I'm back did I miss anything?" To Warp it was only a few minutes.


Meanwhile the presentation was getting started. Graydon Creed stepped up to the podium, "Welcome to the MRD Free Humanity Rally. I'm your host for this evening Graydon Creed, representing the Friends of Humanity. Our first guest is the televangelist Reverend William Stryker. Let's all welcome him to the stage for a sermon."

"Nah," Said the girl raising a brow. "Just some stuck-up Asian chick looking for her boyfriend's sister. The woman's description was vague at best-but it sort of could have fit for her." She nodded to Cassie. "But, I can't picture you guys associating with someone like her."

Cassie meanwhile turned when she heard a voice addressing her and telling her to watch her back. She paled a little and looked perplexed before she rubbed her ear. It wasn't a telepath talking to her. She had been addressed by Emma through a telepathic voice enough to tell the difference. She had heard what was said with her ears.

She turned towards the stage when she heard Graydon Creed address the audience and introduce the anti-mutant televangelist Revered William Stryker. With a sigh she quietly clapped a few times before saying, "Sorry, I missed what you were saying. Someone was looking for me?

"Stuck-up Asian chick," repeated the girl, rolling her eyes.

"You may not be able to hear them but I can unfortunately." She sighed in annoyance as she listened to what the reverend had to say. "Do people really believe this garbage? That anyone born a mutant is some means we're demonic monsters? The nonsense people to make up to sooth their fears." she let out a huff and folded her arms.

Cassie's eyes grew wide at Felicia's outburst and she quickly clamped a hand over the girl's mouth and dragged her away calling over her shoulders: "Lovely chatting to y'all."

After that she returned her attention to Felicia, her expression angry as she glared straight into Felicia's eyes and said with a forced smile and a hiss, "Felicia, darling, you will calm down immediately. You will listen to what is said by Reverend Stryker and any other individual who speaks poorly of mutants for the next three hours without becoming angry, distressed, or upset. In fact you are going to dully clap at the appropriate times and pretend you find this whole MRD sponsored event interesting and positive." If at any moment Felicia had met Cassie's gaze during her commands Cassie's orders would take control. It wouldn't be that Felicia had to do what Cassie commanded: it would be that Felicia would want to do her command without question. It would seem only natural to please Cassie.

Letting go of Felicia she sighed and said, "And yeah, that is what some people think. Arguably Stryker is more annoying since he takes a more perverted religious approach to the 'mutant problem' but it isn't that unusual. And sorry for... um... ordering you around, but keeping your cool is vital. Just see it as words. Words are words. Nothing more than that."

"I'm sorry about that Warp... it must have slipped." She rubbed her arm ashamed of using the 'm' word after Warp had explained to her earlier why we don't use it. "I'm proud of being a homo-superior. Talk like this would make others wish they didn't have their gifts and wished they were human. It's rather sickening really. Stuff like this makes it sound like we have a choice in the matter of how we are born. It's as if, according to them we chose to be demons."

Blink stared at the platform feeling mildly sick as first Graydon Creed took the platform and then Reverend William Stryker. She made a sigh as she heard the accusations of the televangelist. She had read about him but never felt the desire to read his sermons or lectures, especially not hear one in person. The us vs. them mentality was bad enough without involving religion. That was when Blink heard a girl call out 'lovely chatting to y'all' from where Blink had been not too long earlier.

Blink raised a brow: y'all? It sounded like the slightest hint of some sort of Southern accent. Where was Warp from again? Texas, right? And while Warp had a very nondescript accent most of the time, she did remember occasionally (especially when he first arrived at Genosha) that he had the slightest Southern accent when drunk. Of course he would also sometimes talk in Spanish when drunk, so she never over thought the matter. However, if the older brother had an accent once in a great while wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that the little sister had a similar accent.

She disappeared in silence, though a small child stared at where a woman had before. Reappearing where Warp and Shadow Walker was she dropped her heels on the floor, kissed Warp on his cheek and said, "Be back in a minute. Remember you said you'll owe me." And she reappeared behind a tree near where the hipsters were before, a mere five feet from where Cassie and the others were. Blink pulled out one of the needles from her bag and contemplated the perfect moment to strike.


Meanwhile, Cassie raised a brow with Felicia's reactions and sighed, "Maybe I overdid it?" She glanced back to the stage and then her eyes began to scan the crowd and asked, "What did that girl say about a stuck-up Asian chick?"

Myth had put the Llen Arthyr yng Nghernyw. In a language that you could understand it would be Mantle of Arthur. It rendered him invisible and undetectable.If he was observing it would be best if he could not be detected.

He turned his head. He could have sworn that woman wasn't there before. Myth paid close attention to her.Pinkish hair, looked a bit Asian but it was hard to make out fully at this distance. She seemed to talk to a few people. Nothing out of the ordinary yet. Then....that man came on stage. Stryker....a man that Myth hated. He was the worst kind. Indoctrinating people with his religious talk about mutants being demons and sinners. Myth would certainly not mind he that man dropped dead right where he stood. In fact...he hoped that the Brotherhood would take him out first. Knowing that he had to stop them before they did that though.

His attention shifted to Felicia who seemed angry. He reached for his earplug to tell Love to keep her in line but she had already done so. Good job he congratulated her in his mind. In the corner of eye however the girl vanished. Gotcha. The girl reappeared behind a tree very close to Love and seemed to be pulling something very small from her bag.

Myth instantly spoke to her Love through his earplug. " Love, the pink haired Asian girl is with the Brotherhood. She's their teleporter. She is right behind the tree behind you. I think you're her target. Either get out of there or charm someone to point her out to the MRD. Do not engage." Myth spoke quick and firm.
