An Administrator Came to Westchester

Mrs. Mary MacNeilly had made the hour trip out to a private school in Westchester county. She was the person assigned from the State Education Department's Office of Nonpublic School Services to perform a surprise inspection of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. It had been some time since an in-person inspection of this learning facility had been conducted. It had fallen to Mrs. MacNeilly to go and assess how the school fit the understaffed Office of Accountability's educational parameters.

She drove her midsized sedan up to the gates. She announced herself on the intercomm as "Mary MacNeilly from the New York State Education Department for a compliance inspection."

She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel as she waited for some administrator to allow her on the grounds.

Since Dani seemed to be the only one in her office at the moment, the intercom automatically routed to her. The technology at the school was nifty that way, but apparently, not nifty enough to give them advance warning of things like random inspections.

The car looked fairly nondescript, and so did the woman driving it, but appearances could be deceiving. Her fingers traced over the edge of the monitor, bringing up the results of a security scan. While she waited, she hit the call button.

"Pardon?"

Doug returned to the office to catch the tail end of that.

"We have those?" he mouthed to Dani.
demonbearslayer: (Huh?)

[personal profile] demonbearslayer 2013-01-04 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Dani shrugged and mouthed back to Doug. "We never did before."

The security scan readings appeared to check out.

She whispered again. "How bad can it be? Schools have to pass these things all the time, right?"

Famous last words, Moonstar.
talk_to_you: (Unsure)

[personal profile] talk_to_you 2013-01-04 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Doug frowned. "You're right," he said, though.

"All right. We can handle this."
demonbearslayer: (Coffee)

[personal profile] demonbearslayer 2013-01-04 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Courage, Ramsey. We've got this."

Dani took one last swig of her coffee, emptying the mug.

"We've faced down Galactus. We can manage a bureaucrat."

"I successfully reprogrammed a mad alien who rips stars in half. I can handle one visit from the state."

He nodded smartly. "Let's do this thing."
demonbearslayer: (Default)

[personal profile] demonbearslayer 2013-01-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
She hit the talk button.

"Someone will be right with you."

Topher was outside, behind the mansion, running training exercises. It was, he realized, something very much like what his Uncle Scott had probably done back when it had been the original five X-Men.

But please, let me not grow up into being the tight-ass he is, Topher considered. Although, let me keep my tight ass.

It was a simple enough exercise, today. Holograms of human-sized, human-disguised sentinels fighting the X-Men, while the X-Men had to keep civilians - and themselves - safe.

Mostly, it's just combat training and teamwork training, going over things they've already learned at the hands of their teachers.

"We gettin' this show on th' road or what, Summers?" Rose growled, but clearly teasing.

Kayla on the other hand looked about as gleeful as she was on the inside. Beating up things in the Danger Room was awesome, like the best sort of video game. And the idea that she was learning the vital skills of a superhero? Even better. That being said, there was a serious element to it all and she didn't take it too lightly.

Kayla worked hard, she played hard. Hell, she even slept hard.

"I second that sentiment, Chief." Which is what she was calling him, because he was running this particular simulation.

"Yeah, sorry," Topher said, furrowing his brow. "I just..." He looked up towards the mansion. "I keep on getting these little hits of negativity emanating from the school. It's, for once, not Brooke." He shook his head. "Never mind. Let's do some energy expending." He hadn't even finished his sentence before the program started.

Rose dove into action. "Move it, folks! Before the Tin Woodsmen get the idea to start choppin'!"

[personal profile] seismic_shockwave 2013-01-06 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Kayla was a natural at the whole combat thing, actually. Beating things up with her superpowers came very easily to her. It was the teamwork stuff that was a little harder for her, not because she was antisocial but simply because it required putting limits on one's urge to simply smash shit. In real life, she'd probably be more circumspect, but this was a training exercise.

For now, though, she focused on trying to tell the Sentinels apart from the confused civilians. Using her powers to try and help people rather than just laying hurt on the bad guys. She was trying to learn how to moderate her shockwave powers, sending a shockwave strong enough to get someone out of the way of a falling lightpole without seriously harming them.

So far, so good.

Brianna remained silent as the exercise commenced, evaluating their enemies. Topher had explained everything ahead of time and now she was ready to start.

While Kayla worked on helping others, Brianna moved in tandem with Rose to form a defense in front of the civilians. She didn't have Kayla's super-strength or Rose's claws, but she did have something of her own to bring to the table.

Her eyes took on a fierce violet glow and she conjured her katana from the kinetic energy stored within her body.

She readied herself to deal with the first of the attackers to come at her.
marvel_boy: (Squint)

[personal profile] marvel_boy 2013-01-06 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a funny sort of role reversal, Topher thought as he watched the girls spring into action. The original X-Men had numbered more in men than it had in women. The opposite was true for the current generation, but unlike then, there was no way that these girls could be underestimated.

These girls were strong, capable, efficient. There were kinks to work out, sure - Topher could tell that Kayla needed a little help on the teamwork end - but things could have been a whole lot worse.

He half-smiled to himself as he started to seperate the civilians from the Sentinels. It was a good hologram, he mused. He could feel pings of fear from the civilians, while the Sentinels had no real emotions to read.

Still, they had both Brianna and Rose as defenders. Topher moved to help Kayla.

Out on the driveway, Emily was entertaining herself with an elaborately drawn game of hopscotch. After Daddy brought her and the boys home from school, she'd tossed her backpack down in the grass beside the drive and broke out the pink sidewalk chalk. Daddy let her have an hour to play before homework started, since it was too pretty a day to spend it all inside!

The bangs and noises on the lawn didn't bother her. Those were pretty normal to her these days. She did look up when a lady she didn't know marched over.

"Hello," she greeted the lady politely. Even if she did look a little scary.

"I'm Emily." She figured that whole not talking to strangers thing probably didn't apply to people who were already at her house. She scuffed the toe of her sneaker against the ground and marred one of the chalk lines slightly. "Are you somebody's mom here?"
emilyrosehudson: (Default)

[personal profile] emilyrosehudson 2013-01-19 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Nuh uh." Emily shook her head. "I live here. I go to school in the city, but my daddy is a teacher here."
emilyrosehudson: (silly smile)

[personal profile] emilyrosehudson 2013-01-19 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, only my room's not close to the big kids. I live on the other side in the 'dult wing with my daddy and my big brother and Hana and Jeremy and Zach." And Sage and all the other teachers, but those were the ones she was closest to. Rose and David lived on the big kid side. She'd get there someday!
