*enter Mindwarp*
Holding a clipboard in his hand Mindwarp made his way into the Athena Common Room, munching on a turkey and cheese sandwich.
"Wow, it's been months since we had a danger room practice, and I don't even remember meeting these guys," he said gazing down at the names Huntin and Artemis. "We're way overdue."
So, plopping down onto the couch he put his fingers to his temple and concentrated.
<Attention Xavier Students> He began, <All members of Athena Dorm report to the common room!>

Midnight remembered she was from the Athena Dorm, but she wondered why they were calling people together. Oh, maybe it was an Omega team thing. Nah, they couldn't actually be doing anything. It had been ages since the team was together and many members had left as well. But she walked quickly down the plush hallways, soon arriving at the common room. There was Mindwarp sitting with a clipboard in his lap and a turkey sandwich sprawled on top of it. "Hey Mindwarp, what's up?" Midnight asked softly, sliding shyly into a chair near the back of the room.

The thin boy had been outside, sleeping in the sun when the mental message came through. He opened one eye groggily. Was he in Athena Dorm? He couldn't rememder, he'd only just been placed on that team. He yawned, stretching before standing. Groggily, he trudged up to the dorm, arms behind his head as he stretched once more.
Artemis slipped through the door, ruffling his blonde hair in slight irritation. He didn't like to be woken in such a manner; truthfully, he didn't like to be woken at all. He looked up at the person he had supposed was the one who had sent out the message. And when I say looked up, I mean looked up. This guy had to have at least seven inches on the five foot three, one hundred and fifteen pound fifteen year old. He mentally cursed his luck (in French, of course). He hated being short. Taking a seat next to Midnight, he folded his arms across his chest and examined the other male curiously.

Kaia's solid black eyes glanced around as she pushed open the door to the common room. today she wore a pair of loose fitting jeans and black satin tank top with a nice deep V in the front. She was becoming a little more comfortable showing a little skin despite her gray and white coloring. Taking a seat she fiddled with a few strands of her sliver hair as she listened.

Mindwarp smiled a beaming row of white teeth at Midnight as she made her way into the Common Room.
"Thank God," he said putting his clip board down. "It seems like it's been 20 years since we last met together. I mean, so much has changed, with you becoming co-captain and all." He smiled, even though he still found himself missing Jen. Parts of him still cared for her...but that was all in the past now.
"I'm glad you're co-captain Midnight. We need all the firepower we can get, especailly since I have no idea who these other kids are." He looked down at the clipboard and sighed. But his sigh was cut short by a boy who made his way into the room. He seemed to say something angry under his breath as he took a seat next to Midnight. Mindwarp found himself about to talk when another memeber of the team made herself comfortable on the couch. Finally, he spoke.
"Thank you all for comming, as you probably don't know, my name is Michael Brosley, but you can call me Mike, or you can call me by my mutant name, Mindwarp." He smiled, feeling sort of ridiculous and fatherly. "Ummm, well, I think that in order to become a great team we need to get to know each other. We'll start with powers. These are mine:"
Mike raised his left hand and then moved it backward, sliding the couch across the common room floor. Then, he slid it back, this time allowing it to levitate for a little while before placing it back in its original position.
<Okay,> he spoke telepathically, <whose next?>

Artemis yawned, raising his hand lazily. "Bonjour." He said, not bothering to stand, "I am Artemis Kalere, codenamed Aegis." He spoke with a thick French accent, muddling some of his words. His English was not perfect either. "I am feefteen years of age, five foot zree eenches, and one 'undred and feefteen pounds." He said these words with contempt. "I control ze weazur."

"Wow," Mindwarp said, feeling as if his own abilities had been eclipsed. "Can you show us?" He motioned to the center of the room, as if inviting Artemis up to a stage. "Come on, we have to see how our powers work if we ever want them to work together." He stepped to the side, allowing Artemis to take the lead.

The boy shrugged. "Oui. Sure, why not." He said, his eyes flitting over to the window for a second. In seconds, the clear blue sky outside was dark, rain comming down and thunder and lighting crashing. After a second, that stopped and it began to snow. Then the weather became sunny again. He glanced back at Mindwarp, a questioning look on his face.

Mindwarp's mouth hung open. "Nice, very nice." He smiled and turned to the rest. "Okay, Midnight, anyone want to show them how it's done?" He motioned towards Artemis, giving him a reassuring glance. "This team looks promising, I think we can really do some major damage."

Midnight's eyes widened as Mike first spoke to her. Co-captain? When had that been decided? She didn't know anything about leading a team! But it did seem that there were people who were new, and it was assumed she knew something they did it. However, she didn't have any chance to speak to Mike about her ranking before he continued on with the introductions. Then he called her to the floor, giving her the spotlight. She wasn't mad about that, just annoyed. And not at Mike. At the fact that she was expected to be something of a leader when she hardly had any control over her powers. She had gotten possesed last week, so these newbies probably knew more about their own control than she knew about her powers.
But even so, she stood up. "I'm Midnight," she shortly. There was a slight glare on her face, making her hair and eyes seem all the more dark. Combined with her usual black clothes, it seemed almost eerie. As usual, she didn't supply her real name. "I control darkness. My darkness." For a demonstration, she held her right hand open in front of her, palm upward. Black smoke seemed to snake up into the air in front of her. Then, she moved her fingers slightly. She hadn't learned how to do this without moving her hand yet. The blackness seemed to take form. Four shoots of it moved downward and an arch spirled up. Within seconds, a small billow black horse seemed to be floating above her hand. More finger movements and it seemed to gallop. Then suddenly, shoving her hand forward, the horse lept off her hand and flew through the air and straight into Michael's head. That would help demonstrate something about her darkness as well: the ability to block telepathy. "See if you can talk to us now, Mike."

"Nice trick," Mike said regularly, smiling a little and feeling stupid. "Well, so yeah. Those are our powers. I really think that we have some potential to be great. Hopefully we can schedule a Danger Room session soon, get in some real training."

Midnight gave Mike a small smile and held out her hand. The horse galloped back to it and dwindled into smoke on her palm. "Sorry, Mindwarp. I have to do something with the darkness to make it seem as cool as telekenesis. And aren't we supposed to have another member on our team?"

"She's just being quiet." He said giving the other girl on the couch a reassuring smile. "But, at least the rest of us seem good to go." He nodded at Artemis. "Even you Aegis. You seem to have excellent control over your powers."

"I thought there were five people on our team," continued Midnight, edging over to see the clipboard. She decided that she could do that because she was, afterall, declared co-captain without any prior knowledge or assent. "See, five people. Huntin?" She glanced around the room, looking for a boy of that description. Her eyes landed on the other girl Mike referred too. She was oddly colored, but for some reason the combination was very pretty on her.

"Oh," Mike said, his face turning a little red. "Umm, I'll call him."
<Huntin> Mindwarp said telepathically. <Would Huntin please report to the Athena Dorm.>

"Calm down," Midnight whispered in Mindwarp's ear. "You don't have to impress them, although I admit, the Frenchie is acting like he would be difficult to win over. So there isn't anything to get emberassed about. You are a student, just the same as the rest of us."

"Right," Mindwarp whispered back. He suddenly felt so stupid. Okay, take a breath and wait for Huntin. Now relaxing, he took a seat on the couch.

Huntin appeared in a poof, arms crossed. He was panting a bit. "Sorry about that..." He leaned against a wall, one leg behind him. "What'd I miss?"

"Only some introductions," Midnight said with a wave. Then she pointed at Mike, "Mike Brosley aka Mindwarp, telekenetic and telepathic." Turning, she pointed at Artemis, saying, "Artemis Kalere, codename Aegis, weather control. And I am Midnight, darkness control," she finished. The other girl had not yet introduced herself, so Midnight didn't know her name. "I assume you are Huntin. Welcome to Team Omega. Would you like to say your full name and demonstrate your powers? If you have any beyond teleportation, that is." She realized that her tone was very business-like and hardly welcoming, so she tried to soften it up with a smile.

He gave each mutant a nod as they were introduced to him. "Very groovy indeed." He cleared his throat. "I'm Huntin James Wilcox, just call me Huntin or whatever floats your boat." Huntin offered a smile. "Oh right. Powers. Yeah."
Huntin held up his hand and let it slowly vanish in sort of a swirly motion. "And for those times when I just can't wait-" In a snap second he and his clothing were invisible. "Heh....always fun....and yeah, I think I might be able to take other things with me when I teleport or make other things invisible if I hold on to them.....but that's only happened like once in each case...also a bit straining." In a snap he returned into view. "I SERIOUSLY love using them for mundane and other waistful purposes."
