Bored Little Mutant Boy (Open)

[marvel_boy]

There were few things that Topher Summers found more relaxing than sitting out behind the Xavier Institute, armed with a glass of blackberry iced tea, a plate loaded with chicken wings, and his guitar. He and his band hadn't really played much since the Xavier Institute had been outed as a school for mutants. While his bandmates hadn't cared, he doubted that the citizens of Salem Center would care much to listen to the Starjammers once they found out that the lead singer and guitarist was a mutant.

Ergo, lately, Topher had made himself content with just strumming to himself when he wasn't working on building up his psychic and empathic defenses or helping out at the mutant shelter.

It was nice and everything, but Topher was also craving a little bit of excitement. He couldn't help it, that was in his blood. And he didn't necessarily mean the musical sort of excitement either. He wanted to do something, but since the disaster with the education department...well, Topher had been on something of a tight leash.

Sighing, he set his guitar down, took a drink of his iced tea, and then floated up into the air, closing his eyes and letting the warmth of the sun wash over him.

It was one of those restless days where he wanted something more. What that might have been, he wasn't sure.
