Attack on Xavier's ((Open to All X-ers on Campus))

[ngm_miscellaneous]

Class had only been in session for a couple days at Xavier's. Labor Day had come and gone. There were more students on campus than in previous semesters. The buzz from first day jitters had settled down. Routines were starting to be picked up. It was currently the small span of time between the end of classes for the day and the beginning of after-school activities.

A mile from the main house, a very determined man wearing purple and dark blue was setting up. He took note of various things like the range to the target, wind direction, wind velocity, air density, elevation, and the Coriolis effect. As well as the effect the window he was going to shoot through would have on his very special bullet. He peered through his scope. This would be an extremely tricky shot, but the entire operation was waiting on him to start it. He needed to take out the biggest problem on that campus. The new construction getting into his way didn't help matters.

He eventually lined up a clear shot and waited. He caught a flash of red in the window. The target must have been sitting at her desk. The sniper grinned slightly to himself. He took in a breath, let it half out, and then squeezed the trigger.
The one-of-a-kind bullet made of non-magnetic material blasted out of the barrel of the sniper rifle. His aim was dead on. He quickly tapped the signal to have the first ones launch their attack.

The walls along Graymalkin Lane were breached explosively in multiple places. Most near security nodes to delay the time the security system roused. Men and women in black tabards with white crosses poured through the openings. They ran toward the buildings and any visible muties on the grounds. They all had been itching for some action since the debacle at Veridian Dynamics. Being underground for this long made the need for mutie blood strong among the Purifiers.

One of the Purifiers, not expeccting the ice, fell unceremoniously. The others managed to stay upright.

"There she is! After her!" They ran doggedly in pursuit of Bobbi.

[iced_cherub]

"Oh come on guys have to try a little harder than that to catch me." She broke through the window unfurling her wings, incidentally tearing her hoodie, but hey not like she she was in town pretending to be normal.

The updraft from her fall caught her wings allowing her to glide up the three feet to the roof, where she ran across it staying low, trying to think of what to do to next.

[ngm_villains]

A couple Purifiers continued to unsteadily go down the iced hallway to pursue Bobbi. The rest went back down the stairs and out into the lawn where they had a chance of shooting her on the roof.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi yelped when she was shot at, but didn't stop running she needed the speed after all, especially if she was going to be distracted.

"Idiots! I'm just a kid!" Who is currently wishing she had wing blades like Warren! She drew enough moisture around her to cover her wings with a thin shell of ice, enough to slow the bullets some, she'd be lucky if this actually worked!

She made it to the far end of the building, a swan dive (sorry for the pun) later and she was air born, headed for the woods knowing that she'd have a better chance luring them to her favorite weeping willow near the lake.

[ngm_villains]

The Purifiers were unmoved by her excuses. She may have been a child, but she was a mutie. All muties needed to be wiped from the face of the planet like the plague they were.

The ones outside followed her glide path and chased. Occasionally stopping to fire off a shot to try to kill the mutie in midair.

The ones inside looked up at climbing on the roof and said something along the lines of 'forget it.' They decided to hunt down muties inside the building.

[iced_cherub]

A few bullets clipped a wing as she made it to the edge of the woods. her landing was harder than she had wanted, but she was able to stay on her feet. Still running through the woods she moved for the lake, hoping that she could to it before they caught up with her. There would be enough moisture for her to ice up things, she'd feel bad about the fish.

[ngm_villains]

The fish would be a small price to pay for her life though, wouldn't it?

Bullets were still being shot at her, of course. All willy-nilly. They couldn't see where she was for the moment.

[iced_cherub]

She dived under the weeping willow hiding in the green leaves touching the spots that hurt lightly. She froze the outside of the wound, hoping that it would at least work until she could get to the medical rooms. That done, she closed her eyes trying to think of how to get out of the mess, she had enough moisture around, but was afraid to use it because it would show off where she was.

Hope Rachel doesn't get mad at me if I freeze these guys... SHe remembered what she had done to the FOH members and wondered if she could pull off the same stunt here.

[ngm_villains]

They approached the woods cautiously, weapons at the ready. The branches and leaves of the willow made it hard to see the diminutive little mutant.

To test things out, a few bullets were shot at the tree. None of them near Bobbi.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi stayed low, her wings wrapped around her, hands over her mouth to hide noise. She couldn't see what was going on out of her hiding spot, but she did know if she waited they'd come closer. If she could, she'd freeze them in place.

Come on just a little closer...

[ngm_villains]

And a little closer, they came...

Just close enough, in fact.

[iced_cherub]

She touched the ground lightly, ice formed around the purifiers, locking their legs in place. She kept her focus, freezing the guns as well.

The strain though, had her getting a headache. She knew she should move before the ice melted, but wasn't sure where to go exactly. Okay this was a really stupid plan... More so while grounded. She looked at her damaged wing. "You guys really need to chill more. Maybe you'd learn we're not the bad guys." With that she stumbled out from her hiding place, walking across the now frozen pond to try to stumble towards the dorms again.
