An Unfortunate Beginning (Open)

Aura was walking down the street, looking around at the people who were passing by, it was very late and most of the light came from the nearby street lights. It was another late night, but Aura was happy for the darkness it hid the remains of her work, which still dripped slowly from her right arm. Humans and even some Mutants tended to freak out when people saw fresh blood that was not yours. Running a hand through her unkept brown hair she coinsiderd what to do now, she was not quite ready to head home yet.

Aura recalled this neighborhood well, after she had come back to the city, she had tried to rob a gas station nearby, the owner had never seen her during the altercation as the door had been sealed shut with Ice. Crossing the street quickly she ignored a car, whose tires came to a screeching halt just feet from her, until the driver poked his head out and started yelling. Aura Calmly looked at the man, her pink aura flared up, visable in the man's headlight, he yelled mutant, just as a hammer shape fromed around Aura's fist and came down on the hopod of the car, causing a large dent that also cracked the driver side head light on the car. Aura struck once more as the car peeled out and sped a way, her blow struck the back of the car, crumpeling the trunk a bit. Letting her Aura fade she kept walking realizeing quickly she was only about a hundred yards from her destination.

Walking into the gas station Aura made her way to the back to look at the snack foods she was developing a taste for during her time in the Mansion. As she was sifting through the various types of chips all of which had weird flavors to Aura when she saw a woman enter the building, she could tell from the womans feet and the glimpse she had gotten from her eyes that she wa snot Human, a mutant most likely she figured as she watched, however the man's tone struck a nerve in Aura. Humans should never talk such a way to their superiors, to the rightful heirs to the earth. Using her Aura to cut open a beg of chips she walked to the front counter, surrounded in her Pink aura which was not hardened yet, crucnhing on a few of the chips she put her palm on the counter, the anger in her eyes was very apparent.

In her Anger, Aura made a blade from the aura around her arm and cut through the lottery ticket stand causing the top half to slide away and fall to the ground with a loud thud. "Human's have no matters do they?" she asked with a smile that looked somwhat out of place. "If you need help finding a place to sleep i can aid you thare" she said calmly though her eyes never left the cashier her blade pointed at him. "As for you, keep this up and i'll carve you up like a hamburger and sell you to Human orphans" she said to the cashier, even as she ate a few more chips.

"If i ever hear you disrespect a Mutant again, your worst fears won't be able to imagine what i will do to you" Aura said her voice was flat and cold as she looked at the obviously terrafied cashier. Aura's anger subsided slightly when she saw the other Mutnats powers, It was always beauitful to see another Mutants powers and a bit relaxing for her. Once it was clear the Cashier knew she was serous and would not harm them she turned away, waving her hand to the cashier as if he were in animal. "Not even housebroken, this one" she said shaking her head with a laugh.

"The local wild life, can be a bit dangerous, they gave me a simmeler welcome" she said though actually she had been stopped by Mutants and the only Humans she had to worry about were the police who had followed her, opening fire at her the entire way to the Sanctuary doorsteps. Aura took the Other woman's hand. "A good name and a beautiful power, My Name is Aura. As for the place to stay it is a bit of a walk if you don't have a car or somthing, but it is free and whare i live, it's a shelter for Mutants with no Humans almost no humans on the grounds" she said going on, having almost said their were no humans which was not quite acurate, their secratary was in fact Humans, the only one in sanctuary. Aura grabbed a pepsi on the way out looking up at the clouds which now obscured the veiw of the moon, a shame it had been giving such wonderful light. "So what brings you to the cit?" she asked curiously.

"All mutants powers are beautiful, both those one can see and those we can not. Our powers are out gifts from nature" She replied simply as if it were fact, and to Aura it was. She found all Mutants powers to be beauitful and wonderful. Aura revealed her own powers like she did becuse she beleived a Mutant should be who they were, she hid herself at times to prevent trouble that often arose when police saw her. "That is fine, the walk is only a mile or to, but yes you would meet many Mutants at Sanctuary, I live thare myself, they took me in desbite my accidents" she said making casual conversation, untill her new found freind decided to revisit the petting zoo.

The girl seemed quick and that hand of hers was impressive, she wonderd how it would fare against her Aura. She wonderd if the girl could turn certain parts of her to metal of if somthing else wa sat play. With Mutnats assuming useually got you killed. "A withdrawl i see, i do beleive we should make our way home, becore the plice show" she said waving away the money, offering a gentile smile instead. "Keep it, i have what i need" She went on as she began moving casually a way from the scene, running would make them look guilty and again Aura was happy so few people were out.

"The staff of the sanctuary will ask for you to fill out a few forms, Age, name and power mainly. Some mutants are less able to control their powers and so in case of an accident these things are needed. They will let you stay for as long as you like, and their is free food and areas to train your powers as well. Though some of the residents have somwhat colorful pasts, most are rather freindly" she went on trying to explain whare they were going, she knew many mutants had troubled pasts and so she tried hinting at this. Aura made haste across the street and headed for a nearby alleyway as a shortcut.

As she made her way through the back alleys her eyes watched around them. Alleyways had a strange way of being dangerous only in times of need. Still she was confident she could handle anything that came their way, and this woman she had found seemed quite capable of taking care of herself, she seemed a bit prone to violence which suited Aura just fine. "My own Power allows me to manipulate the aura around my body into a solid mass and shape that mass into various weapons for use in combat" she said explaing a bit about her power she realized how the sanctuary sounded at first and wondered if the mansion residents had this same issue.

"It sounded that way to me to, but so far i have been asked for and to do nothing, in fact i have barely met the people in management. I have not seen a metal working facility, but the Sanctuary does seem to get quite a few Robots to train with which are made of metal and so maybe you could ask on where their made " she responded to the girls questions about the sanctuary. She was the second mutant to ask her such a question and she was never quite sure how to properly respond to it. It was true that sanctuary litterly required nothing from it's residents beyond a few forms. Still most mutants were worried about deals that seemed to good to be true. "I have only my word to assure you their is no catch but you can leave sanctuary whenever you like weather that be in a day or in a year or longer" She went on trying to assure the woman.

"So if i can ask what is your power? It is ok if you would like to keep that private i'm just curious i love seeing how different Mutant powers work." she went on looking around as they exited their alleyway onto a street which, had no one on it beside an old bagger with a brown beg he kept drinking out of. Aura's power became visible surrounding her body ina soft pink light, though it was not hardened yet, she just wanted to be ready in case something did happen.
