Shadow Walker shook her head, "Perhaps dating was a bad example. I dunno…look she has made her decision on who's side she's on. Even though I may not understand why they want to protect the humans considering how they treat us homosuperiors the X-Men believe what they're doing is right. It may not be right in my eyes but its right to her. Just as the Brotherhood is right for me. How long do you intend to just keep her here? Until you can make her change her mind? The X-Men believe in their cause as strongly as the Brotherhood believe in their's and by building a cage around her is not going to help any. By cage, I don't just mean Amp's old apartment…" she looks back to Warp.

Alexander William Diaz a.k.a. Warp
Warp raised a brow before glancing away and said with a sigh, "Her power could win homo-superiors the war with very little blood shed... While, I have wanted my sister where I could protect her, Magneto is more interested in her power. He will do whatever he can to ensure that homo-superiors do gain their rightful position in the world. We shouldn't be stuck hiding on an island while humans hunt our people like animals... this sort of thing is not one to end without bloodshed, but Cassie's power could minimize the bloodshed. She could force humans into their rightful place, if she chose to do so... If you really do think like a true Brotherhood member you might understand that."
Warp continued glancing back, "Her decision to join the X-men was the wrong one, that is the issue. And, that decision is endangering her life. She is risking her neck to help save humans who hate and fear what she is. There is a point when selflessness bleeds into stupidity."
He turned as he washed out his mug by hand and added, "I trust my sister far more than you even can guess. The thing is I haven't had a proper chat with her in over two years. She has only seen Genosha and the Brotherhood through the eyes of the X-men. I should be allowed to show her what Genosha and the Brotherhood provide, as well."
Shadow Walker nodded Warp had made some very good points. "All that's well and good. But are you saying the missions we go on as the Brotherhood aren't putting our own life at risk? Although they don't believe the same thing X-Men or Brotherhood carry the same risk. I'm just saying one is not safer than the other."

Alexander William Diaz a.k.a. Warp
He smiled and said, "Near the end of my time with the circus I made a job of getting swords stuck through me. I have had dozen of bullets actually go through me from various missions. I have come out safely. Within my range I am a god and while I cannot create something out of nothing, I can alter anything within my range... from fixing what is broken to destroying what is whole."
"The X-men don't have that power at their disposal," Warp said. "The only thing that stops me from actually being an Omega level homo-superior is my limited range... not, that I want to actually be Omega level. The responsibility of controlling that much at once, it's enough to drive someone like me mad. I could make up for her power's limitations at least, however."
Changing the subject he added sharply, "Besides, I don't really think it is your position to question my authority, especially in regards to my sister. You know nothing about her or me. People aren't the type you can categorize after knowing them only for a day or two at most." He poured a small cup of coffee and handed it to Shadow Walker, "Why don't you bring this to Cassie and ask her size for swimsuits? I need to work on packing for myself."
Shadow Walker was going to ask about what about the ones that were out of his range but remembered he probably had the ability to bring people back from the dead. Her mind was drifting in that direction she found Warp had handed her a cup of coffee. After letting out a small sigh and looking away briefly,"Yes…Warp" she had to pause for a moment to prevent herself from calling him 'sir'. She walked into a dark corner of the room and emerged from a dark corner of the living room.
With relfective glasses on, Shadow Walker emerged from a dark corner in Amp's apartment, then again it was Cassie's apartment now right? Having Amp's belongings still here kept her wanting to refer it as Amp's apartment. She noticed his collection of Zombie movies. Her mind drifted, she wondered if he'd like to have them with him, she'd be happy to bring them to him personally. She started to day dream how happy he'd be his handsome features with a smile on his face, the vision was brief for the reality would flood in. She started looking for Cassie. Hesitant she called out to her, "Cassie? You up?"

Sebastian Arkain Physik LOCATION: Xavier's. Danger Room
At this point, the movie had finished. Sebastian's head swirled with complex algorithms that dealt with acrobatic actions and silent stalking. He stood up from his computer and shut it down. While he was tired, he didn't necessary need sleep thanks to the Lazarus drug keeping him going. He would go to the danger room and hopefully train a little.
As he neared the room, he noticed someone was already inside. Dean. Sebastian couldn't help but wonder what Dean thought of him. Dean's power was to conjure up mythological items from sheer nothingness. All of Dean's combat skills came from training his body to use those items. Meanwhile, Sebastian's combat skills came from copying another's styles. He figured Dean must have had less respect for Sebastian because of that. After all, a copy-cat is hardly respectable. But that was where Dean would be wrong. Sebastian's ability only allowed the copying of movement. The underlying principles had to be learned and applied for the movements to even work. Sebastian shook his head. He entered the Danger Room. Dean had already changed the room into a forest. Perfect. Sebastian couldn't see Dean, but he knew he was somewhere inside. Sebastian looked at the wall by the door and opened up a small control panel. Having been at Xavier's many years, he'd been able to find out the precise coding necessary for all kinds of things. He silently input a code into the panel. Around him, the forest began to grow thicker. More targets began to appear in different places. Some moved, some were small, some large. Some where high, some low. Dean would enjoy that for his archery practice. But another thing happened above the ground level. Crisscrossing the entire room were now branches of all shapes and sizes, perfect for the training Sebastian was going to do. Sebastian hoped up the nearest tree and clambered onto a branch. He looked around quickly, and began his free-running sequence through the trees. Quick and silent as a shadow, Dean would likely not notice.
Cassandra Song Diaz but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker
Cassie had switched over to one of the Zombie movies in Spanish, she was watching without subtitles and the movie was relatively quiet. She was curled up on the futon, wrapped in a blanket she had taken from Amp's bed. She was half asleep when she heard a voice calling out to her. She sat up immediately, grabbed her glasses, placed them on, and turned with fists raised at the voice. Her movement had been fluid and quick. She took a deep breath as she noticed the shadow traveler, and sat down, on the futon, arms crossed, clearly annoyed.
Sitting down she said annoyed, "Oh, it's only you... God, I hate teleporters, you have no privacy with them. And, yeah, I am up, more or less. How am I supposed to sleep in a place like this? And the guy you are lusting over has really bad taste in movies. How many movies of flesh eating monsters can you watch? I suppose it is better than romantic comedies... And, some of these are rated R or unrated for good reason... and not just for gore and violence. Isn't he technically underage?"
She sighed, picking up one of his sketchpads, "What do you want?"

Shadow Walker frowned and said,"That's what he said…" she sighed a little," … and in both instances I was sent by W-your brother. " she corrected herself knowing she didn't like his homosuperior name. "He seemed really into the zombie movies I believe he mentioned he had a few rare collector's edition. As for maturity I'm pretty sure you've seen enough of his sketches that indicate he studies the human body for his art."
She offers Cassie the coffee,"from your brother. He wants to know what size bathing suit you wear… he's planning to take you on a camping trip on the beach for a couple of days, just you and him."
Cassandra Song Diaz but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker
"Yeah... I've seen plenty of his sketches of mysel-" She began disgusted, before jumping up hearing about her brother and taking the coffee cup, smelling it she smiled and said, "Hmm black... but he could have made it stronger."
She glanced up at Shadow Walker and said with narrowed eyes, "A camping trip sounds fun. We used to go camping when we were kids out in the yard. And, most summers our abuela would take us to the beach for a few days... well, she didn't want to bring Alex but she tolerated him for my sake. I didn't realize he was so nostalgic..." She took a long sip of the coffee and said, "Sounds like he is up to something. Don't trust him, but whatever... should be a bit fun to catch up."
She sat down on the futon and ripped out a page of Amp's sketchbook and scribbled down various numbers, before holding out the note, "There are my sizes. I prefer black or darker colors or plaid in any color but pink... And, I don't consider 'Stripper Zombies', exactly a peak of mature movie choices. Though, that one wasn't as terrible as some-it was sort of funny. But, yeah, the kid does pretty good with estimating the human body and has a very... um... lifelike imagination." A flash of annoyance shown when she added in a dangerous tone while she held a slightly sadistic smile, "However, if I run into the kid, the first thing I'm going to do is make it so he can never lift a pencil again..."

Dean Nixon a.k.a. Myth
Dean watched the environment change. Someone else has entered the room and played around with the settings. Not Emma or Scott. No, not really their style. Besides Emma had no business in training like this. Scott could but he preferred moving targets. Felicia has no idea how it works and the same goes for Dmitri. In fact, they don't even know where this place is. So....Sebastian it was.
"Just don't go near my targets Sebas! I don't wanna pull an arrow out of your a**." Dean shouted.
He scouted for new targets and knocked an arrow. This time he didn't sit still. He moved while looking. In the corner of his eye he spotted a target. Instantly he turned and fired the arrow. No longer dead center as his previous ones but that was a very hard thing to do for him while on the move. Still it was close. There was one other thing Dean was doing at the moment. The only sounds in this place was that of the wind going through the trees and Sebastian. Though the latter was being very quiet about it.
That caused a change in his mood. He wanted to play. At the same time he would test Sebastian. "Gonna make it a bit harder on you!" He shouted. Dean heard a sound that shouldn't be there. He fired an arrow in that direction. Or rather a few feet after. Sebastian could dodge that. He knew. If he actually fired it correctly. Which he was sure he did but that b*****d was being sneaky as hell.

Catherine Smithe my name is Shadow Walker
Being bullied through most of her life has not helped her in such confrontations. Shadow Walker narrowed her eyes, they glowed,"Why are you such a b***h?! He's done nothing to you! Y'know he only draws you because he's under your power's influence! You don't know him and you question his movie tastes, a collection which he cherishes and now you want to banish him from his artistic talent! Let's not forget you also broke his nose! It just makes me sick that he only has eyes for you!" She was beginning to feel emotional, she snatched the paper from her and dropped through her shadow.
She started to think that maybe despite what Amp wanted it would be better that he never met her. In the end he'd only get hurt. She rubbed her eyes. She slid the paper with Cassie's request from under the toaster. "She wants pink plaid." She emerged in the study blowing her nose.

Cassandra Song Diaz but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker
Cassie burst out laughing at Shadow Walker's outburst and snapped back as Shadow Walker disappeared, "Yeah, well his obsession for me makes me sick, too!" Doubting the shadow traveler heard her answer, Cassie sat back down on the futon and made a snort, "Besides, Alex probably fixed the guy's nose... that wasn't personal. And, I wouldn't seriously take away his hobby... or at least it completely." With a sigh she made a short laugh, "Yeah... love... scary thing. Wonder if whiny shadow girl hates me now? Now, that'd be amusing."
Warp sighed as Shadow Walker disappeared and forced a smile towards Calamity, "I'm sorry. It's been a long day or two and this is a perfect example why it is easier to keep women out of the Brotherhood. Apparently, my- actually, we really aren't anything but friends and one or two one night stands- anyways, Blink already has pissed off Shadow Walker and now with my sister here... and there was this issue with-"
He paused as he heard the quick words of Shadow Walker and saw the note under the toaster. "Pink plaid?" He muttered picking up the note and glancing over the various numbers, "When the Hell did Cassie start wearing pink actively?"
With a sigh Warp, noticed Shadow Walker was already gone and returned his attention to Calamity. He had been weighing his options carefully in his head and how best to deter suspicion of how Cassie was going to so easily be picked up by the X-men, or at least Physik and said calmly, "If you want, Calamity, you could accompany the first night of the camping trip with me. I assume you will need to pick up various items first, but someone can go with you for that and you could use my credit. I plan to invite Shadow Walker as well for that time. It might be fun... of course, there are certain precautions to keep in mind considering my sister will be there but that shouldn't be a huge problem if you aren't a complete moron."
Then, he considered Calamity's darker, more dangerous side and added for good measure with a steady smile and no amount of amusement in his eyes, "However, if my sister gets hurt by either you or Dark for any reason, I will kill you, and possibly bring you back from the brink of death, just to kill you again. Understood?" He then calmed and said in a far gentler and compassionate tone and ended with a joke, "Anyways, it's up to you if you want to come, but you could see it sort of like a field trip. I could pretend to teach basic marine biology or something if you want, even, to make it more into a field trip sort of feel. That's sort of what field trips are like... or at least what I've heard or seen from television."
Sebastian Arkain Physik LOCATION: Xavier's. Danger Room
Sebastian cursed in his mind as he snapped a branch with his right arm. He froze immediately, the sound having echoed through the Room. How could Sebastian have forgot to turn on the nature noises? Birds, small animals, creeks, many different sounds would have made it near impossible to detect Sebastian with what he just did, but he forgot. No matter. Maybe Dean didn't notice. Maybe he did. It was then that an arrow sped towards Sebastian. I a split-second, he grinned. Dean was helping him train. Sebastian did the worst thing he could possibly do. He closed his eyes. His amazing eyes that would judge the trajectory, speed, velocity, and angle of the arrow in an instant were closed. Sebastian was helpless. But this was what he wanted. To train without his power. He heard the whistle of the arrow as it sped close. He jumped up from the branch as the arrow sped under him and to the left, missing where he would've originally been only slightly. Dean wasn't aiming directly for him, it seemed, only to play around. Sebastian landed with a soft patter. He kept his eyes closed and let his other senses take over. His photographic memory let him remember and branch not for away and he jumped to it. Using his hearing, he sped through the trees, swiftly and quietly, but still not quiet enough.
~~~~~
Calamity sat up quickly. "I can go?" he asked loudly, smiling. When Warp made his joking threat, Calamity thought inward and told Dark not to do anything. Dark reluctantly agreed and Calamity laughed. However, the joviality was short-lived. Calamity returned to his calm composure. "That would be fun."

Catherine Smithe my name is Shadow Walker
Shadow Walker rubbed her eyes and calmed down.How can I be a good Brotherhood member if I can't handle bullies? . She sighed a little she was never advised on how to handle such situations it was simply dismissed as just a phase. Calmed enough she decided to open the door to go wash her face in the bathroom. The water ran and she rubbed and washed her face then pat herself dry with a towel. She sighed to herself thinking for certain that Warp thought she was weak for letting his sister get to her so easily.
She came back out and sat in a chair in the living room.
Damn, no response. Dean was kinda hoping for one. But he knew Sebastian wouldn't make that mistake. He knocked another arrow and his aim followed Sebastian's trail. Or what Dean believed was his trail. The slightest sounds confirmed it. In rapid succession he fired a couple of arrows. That action resulted in lesser accuracy but he didn't mind. He wasn't aiming at the guy directly.
A playful grin appeared on his face. Time to surprise the guy. The bow in his hands changed. The bow was now decorated with hundreds of gold bosses and had radiant ends.The Gandiva. A bow from the Hindu Epic, Mahabharata. Carefully Dean knocked an arrow and took aim. But when he fired at Sebastian's location something happened. The arrow was released with the loud sound of thunder.
