Angelique glanced around at her otherwise immobile team. Despite being selfish, she was humane, and perfect hair Theo didn't deserve to die in an alleyway,
"You guys should go save him!" She declared, "I'll go call the police! Anyone have a cell phone?!"

Meanwhile, the kid who had spoken took out a knife, and Theo didn't know whether or not to be relieved. They might not be the mutants if they weren't using powers against him...but you know, knives are sharp.
He swallowed hard as they took a few steps towards him, before smirking. He had an ace in the hole they didn't. Using his powers, he forced fear upon them, forcing them to take a few steps back. It become stronger as he focused more and they turned to run, when Theo tackled one. The other three scurried away. The blond mutant held down his human opponent, who squirmed in terror beneath him.
"What do you know about mutants around here?" he asked calmly, which was still scary to his captive.
"Nothin, I don't know nothing!"
"C'mon, aren't there some your age? Our age?"
"No no..I mean, yeah, yeah, please, let me go, please, I'm sorry!"
"Where?"
"I dunno, but last night they were at 38th and Lennon!"
Theo let the boy go and run off. Well, that had worked out somehow. He brushed himself off and turned on his comm unit.
"Hey guys, I got some info. We need to go to 38th and L-"
His comms unit went blank as he fell to the ground unconscious, a new boy standing over him.

"Theo? Theo!?" Robbie called out into his comm unit before breaking into a run in the direction Theo had gone off too. Ideas ran wild through his head, images of Theo bruised, beaten or worse...
His speed picked up and it was only until half-way through the run when his brain allowed him to start thinking logically again and with it fear. He hope at least one of the girls had followed him after he dashed off (not that he was fast by any means) but he was already at the mouth of the allyway...
OOC: I have no idea what Robbie is supposed to find lol

OOC: Moon, I think you should handle Nadya for the time being, sparingly
The new boy, a tall, dark skinned boy in baggy clothes, looked at the approaching Robbie and the pair of girls behind him. They were very out of place. Just like this kid beneath him. He looked down at the golden haired kid. Something was wrong here, something very wrong. But the boy stood his ground.
Angrily, he gave Theo's body a swift kick to the ribs before walking away out the other end of the alleyway, not even increasing speed.

“Oh my goodness!” Angelique gasped as she peaked from behind Robbie and saw Theo lying on the ground dead. Wait, not dead, but still, not…awake. When the hoodlum exerted more violence on Theo's still body, Angelique cried out and took refuge behind a dumpster. She pinched her nose at the horrid smell and whimpered. This was absolutely positively the most miserable thing she'd ever done in her life,
"You shouldn't hit people!" She cried out, her voice pinched from her squeezed nose, "You're not a very good Christian!"

Nadya cried out running over to the beaten boy, kneeling beside him to check his stats. "Stop!" Robbie called out to Theo's assailant, the young mutant wasn't very tall nor his voice deep but he tried his best to assert his authority and sound threatening. His heart pounded in his chest but Robbie couldn't tell if it was fear or anger as he looked at the back of the man's head. How could he kick Theo like that? His hands clenched into fists. |

The boy stopped at the end of the alleyway, although he didn't turn around.
"LEAVE!" he yelled forcefully. He stood still in the dim light at the end of the alleyway, nothing but his size visible to the NHA students. After pausing, he stepped around the corner, out of sight. What they didn't know was he was climbing a fire escape to the top of the building. He would watch them. He took out his cell phone and sent a text to Khaled. He would definitely need his help.

The longer she watched Robbie, the less convinced she was that that boy could lead a team. He barely seemed capable of leading them in a straight line, let alone actually doing something super hero like.
Angelique suddenly appeared to become a different person, straightening her chest and calmly stepping from behind the dumpster. She sauntered over to Theo and sat square on his back, she studied the back of his head for a moment and then ravished his coat pockets until she found-ooh a cell phone, kewl <33-and smelling salts.
Why or how Theo knew to carry those was beyond her, but Angelique popped open the vial and stuck it right under his nostrils,
"Wake up, Theo!!"

Eyes fluttered open, if only momentarily, before his whole face engaged in small spasms in reaction to the violent sensory attack of the smelling salts.
"What the...what happened?" he asked groggily, unable to get up with Angelique on top of him. She was still with them?
From the above rooftop, DaMarcus saw as they awoke the golden haired boy. This wasn't good. He might remember the information he had received from that snitch...he'd have to be taken care of. He hoped Khaled would arrive soon, so he might at least be able to get in touch with the others. Things were perhaps getting out of hand. He couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't right.

Angelique popped off his back and began to bounce on her toes, "You got knocked out by that hoodlum!" She then spun around and narrowed her eyes on the boy on the roof, "I wonder what his power is..."
Without another word, Angelique dashed away from the group and turned the alleyway corner. She clumsily scrambled her way up the ladder and fell splat on the roof. Angelique began to whine to herself, mumbling about how dirty her dress was getting, but regained focus on the hoodlum who'd attacked Theo earlier.
"Uh excuse me," She chirped, "I was just wondering what your power is!"

DaMarcus watched the girl, so out of place, even among her people, as she made her way towards the building. There was no way she going to...it wasn't...she was...
While most wouldn't consider her a threat, DaMarcus was shrewd in dealing with these strangers. People like that didn't just come into the ghetto without fear of the residents, but these people were special somehow. He'd have to be cautious.
"I thought I told you all to leave. You hard of hearing?" he responded threateningly. He'd try and intimidate this little girl.
Theo's head was barely together. It was throbbing painfully from where he had apparently been hit by some...hoodlum? He didn't really know what Angelique was talking about or where she was going. She hadn't said a word, just disappeared down an alley and around the corner. Ugh...
However, he realized there was something he needed to tell his team. He just couldn't remember what. He spent what little brainpower not yet destroyed by the pain in his head to try and remember...it was important!

Angelique didn't even seem to hear him. She took another step forward, narrowing her eyes in curiosity, "Super Strength? Super Speed?! impermeable skin?"
She hesitated but when the boy didn't react, Angelique grew pushy, "You're a mimic? You can freeze time? You can eat 20,000 calories a day and never get fat??!?"

"Damn, do you shut up? You need to stop askin' so many damn questions!" he bellowed at her, angry. He didn't want to hurt her, but he needed to scare her off him. His face flattened into a coldhearted glare that he hoped would speak volumes about what kind of person he was. He had kicked the unconscious Theo after all.
However, his scare tactics were interrupted by the arrival of Khaled, with was unorthodox to say the least. While DaMarcus and Angelique had scaled the ladder of the building, Khaled merely popped over the side as if he had jumped. He had, in fact, done just that.
"What is going on up here, D?" he asked, unsure of what to make of the situation. DaMarcus knew the others below couldn't see Khaled, but if this little girl alerted them...this was all bad as it was.

"You're very rude," Angelique replied lightly, taking a few more bouncy steps towards him so that now they were in distance of each other, "I just asked you a simple question...please?"
When the other guy appeared, Angelique merely nodded to him and blushed, "I'm Angelique, hello!" She threw her hands over her head and began to sway side to side like a shy little girl.

"What is this, Phoenix?" the new boy asked again. He was once more ignored by the boy Angelique had been talking to, identified as Phoenix. He seemed to be in thought, and he looked down at Robbie, Nadya, and Theo, who were still gathered around Theo, talking.
"Get the other two, aight? We'll see how they do when it jumps off," he finally said, still ignoring Angelique. The new boy nodded and bounded off the roof to another roof, gone in a series of death-defying leaps.
Phoenix turned to Angelique and appeared like he was going to say something, but nothing come to mind. He walked right past her, shoving her out of the way and preparing to make his way down the fire escape.

oOc: Well, this looks like it's just Del and I
"Hey, ow!" Angelique cried as she fell to the floor with a splat.
Unlike last time, the little girl did not whine and cry, she bounced right back up and skipped after him. Angelique managed to scurry in front of Mr. Mean pants right when he reached the fire escape stairs and block him from using it.
"I don't think that being a complete jerk is a mutant power!" She cried out, pressing her fists against her hips and poking her bottom lip out.

DaMarcus's jaw stood set, and it was obvious he sick of Angelique's antics. He couldn't bring himself to hit her though. She looked like she just didn't get it. If Allie were here, he knew she'd just tossed the girl aside. Hopefully they'd get here soon so he could be done with this pest.
Deciding not to even acknowledge her, he reached for her shoulders, intending to physically remove her from barring his path.

"It...it's ru...rude to ignore...ignore." Angel eyes chimed in. The boy had been there the whole time just listening to the conversation not wanting to get into a fight since, frankly he was one of the weakest if not the weakest at the academy. "We...we're just...just here to...hel...help."

Right when he made a move to grab her shoulders, Angelique shrieked and ducked under his grasp. "Don't touch me you barbarian!!!" She howled as she curled into a ball and covered her head. As abruptly as she went down, Angelique shot back up, but her innate clumsiness caused her to bowl into the boy's knees and knock him off balance. She watched him stumble back with a confused look on her face before grabbing a handful of her golden curls and saying in a sing song voice,
"You have super flexibility?"

The boy growled. There was another one, and already he was grating on DaMarcus's nerves. But this one he could hit. He only needed to stall for a few more minutes. He was still surprised she had been on the offensive, and that she wasn't the least bit intimidated. He looked in the distance, thinking he saw a bouncing dot that was most likely Khaled.
"Leave. Go back to wherever you come from, or I'm gonna whoop this dude's ass, and then all of your friends' asses," he warned Angelique. Perhaps she had some sort of authority and that explained her persistence.

Angelique finally showed some nervousness at DaMarcus' threat. Her tiny mouth fell open as if she had a rebuttal but nothing came out. She glanced over at Twitch, who frankly she hadn't noticed till then. She didn't even remember him from the team meeting, he was only recognizable from their uniform-which she'd refused to put on.
She then settled back on Markie-Mark, but her once vacant face grew dark as she narrowed her eyes at the tall boy. He was trying her patience, they all were.
"I'm going to ask you one more time," Angelique's voice, that had been as lofty as a little child's, not sounded as if it came grating from her throat. Her lips seemed to barely move, as if someone was speaking from behind her, "What is your power?"

"Oh, you now you got attitude, huh?" DaMarcus bellowed, covering up his surprise at the little girl's newfound demeanor. He'd have to take note of her, "What's your god damn power? What do you do? Never shut the fuck up?!"
He took a few menacing steps towards Angel Eyes, who seemed too scared to really know what to do. His steps were slow and deliberate.
"Aight, game's over."
"Seriously, stop playing around, Phoenix!" came a feminine voice below. Standing on the lowest level of the fire escape was a new addition to the cast. And then the boy from earlier returned in a one-jump ascension of the building, landing behind Angel Eyes.
"Yes, it is time to deal with these new people, come on," he said, nodding to Phoenix.
"You gon' find out more than you wanna know," he threatened in a low voice, glaring at Angelique.

Angelique cut her eyes over at the newest appearance of this kid's posse. She inched over to the side of the building and peered over the edge to see that those other idiots were still standing around. She rolled her eyes and shouted, "Help!" Careful to mask her voice as high and innocent as possible.
She then inched back over to her original spot, incoherently grumbling under her breath as she finally met eyes with the stubborn boy who wouldn't tell her anything. Well, she'd just have to find out on her own, wouldn't she? Without another word, Angelique's knees buckled, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she crumpled to the ground.

The others made their way down the fire escape, a young girl and the young man with the incredible jumping powers. They charged down the alleyway, finding the NHA students scattered, looking for Angelique, while Nadya tended to Theo, who still was out of sorts.
"Dunno who you are, but we're going to make you leave," said a tough but feminine voice as the new teens came into view. They didn't look unlike the students, and it'd be hard to tell the difference, save the more urban style of the strangers. The girl speaking was quite attractive, with long dark brown hair and an athletic frame to match her creamy skin. More striking, however, was her demeanor, which was bold and powerful. She carried herself like a leader.
"We don't want any trouble," Robbie stated, trying to backpeddle. They were here to make an offer, not fight them! This was not going to plan. Angelique had disappeared, and now they had to deal with these two aggressive types.
"We do not care," stated the boy with her. In jeans a football jersey, the kid had the dark brown skin and features of someone of middle eastern lineage. His dark hair fell over his face, which was marred with traces of acne. He grinned, and suddenly, launched forward with incredible speed and tackled Robbie. Nadya cried out, turning to help her Captain, but the other girl charged her.
Meanwhile, atop the roof, DaMarcus had every intention of joining in. Phoenix, as he was called, was a very capable fighter, with his size, strength, and of course, mutant power, which was a rapid and effective healing. However, even that could not save him as Angelique took control of him.

oOc: I'll control Nadya for the rest of the mission
The girl wrapped her fingers around Nadya's neck and pushed her into the brick wall. Nadya tried to cry out in pain but only a faint gargling noise escaped her strangled throat. She shakily scratched at her attacker's arms but the girl showed no sign of letting go, instead she seemed to thrive on Nadya's growing desperation. With sudden surge of energy, Nadya slammed her forehead into the girl's. The impact made a sickening cracking sound and was enough to send the girl spiraling back in pain, "The fuck? You bitch!" She screeched, gingerly touching her fingertips to her forehead to check for any blood.
Nadya fell to her knees, gasping for air and wincing at the throbbing of her aching lungs. She hadn't expected it to be like this. Sure, CATT was intense and training was thorough, but this girl had seriously just tried to kill her!
Right when Angelique crumpled to the ground, Phoenix slightly doubled over with a sharp gasp but seemed to recover almost instantaneously. He cut his eyes from side to side and then stretched his limbs in opposite directions.
"Wow," He whispered as he set his eyes on DeMarcus.
