"Lets go over there in the barracks. What'd y'all think?" offered Streak as he began to walk away swiftly.

Nathan quickly followed him but did not have the need to stalk from tree to tree since his skin wasn't silver. "Must be rough sticking out like a black sheep," he thought. "I wonder if he ever get tired of it."

No one seemed like saying much of anything as they made their way toward the barracks. Nathan couldn't blame them. As soon as they reached the barracks he opened the door and ushered everone inside. Once that was done he made his way to a bed and laid down on his back with his hands behind his head.

"Now that we're away from prying eyes, what's the plan?" he inquired.

ooc: sorry for the short post. I couldn't really think of anything and I didn't know where ya'll were going with this.

Raina followed. They ended up in an open cell with a few beds. As long as she kept an eye out the guards wouldn't catch her - a female- in the cell. Then again, with the short hair she could often get away with looking like a boy.

She plopped down on a bottom bunk. She felt her collar release a little. Michael had helped her rig it to only go off if she got her voice above a certain level. She could whisper at least now. "We lay low." she replied. She turned to the two guys. "So how'd you both get caught?"?? she asked. She knew Streak's story and was pretty sure he knew hers.

"We lay low." Riana replied. She turned to the two guys. "So how'd you both get caught?"she asked.

Since no one was volunteering anything, Nathan thought that he might as well get his story out in the open. "Well," he began uncomfortably, "my mutation decided to kick in after my parents had died in a car accident. I think it was somehow linked to the emotional stress I had at the time. My brother was also in the car but he managed to survive. It happenned after I had visited him in the hospital." Nathan paused, unsure if he wanted to continue or not.

"I just wanted to do something. Something that would have changed what occurred." Nathan's eyes began to lose focus as he began to relive that night again in his mind. "I felt an unbearable pain travel all throughout my back. I lost consciousness because of it. I managed to wake up what seemed hours later but it was only a few moments. I then realized that I had grown three pairs of wings from my back."

"Angel's wings," he said to himself. "I then went to talk to my girlfriend Christene, since she was the only one I could think of who would understand. I went to see her after dark. She screamed when she saw me. That caused her father to rush outside with a wooden baseball bat. His reaction to seeing me was to swing the bat at my head." Nathan chuckled at that for a moment. He was still lost inside his memories. "I caught it and then he began to back away. All the while keeping his body as a shield between Christene and I. I begin to smell smoke and at the same time my hand that is holding the bat begins to feel warm. I promptly release the bat and find that it holds a charred mark in the shape of my hand along its length."

"I then ask myself, 'What am I?'. Christene's father responds with 'You’re a devil that’s what you are! And I’m calling the police!'" As Nathan begins to wake up from his nostalgia his tone of voice changes from subdued to explanatory. "After that Christene begs me to turn myself in. Well, I didn't see any other options, so that's what I did. And here I am, gracing all of you with my presence," he finished.

In answer to the questioning stares from his companions he then said, "I changed back to my human form shortly after I turned myself in. That's why I don't have wings as of right now."

"Anyone else care to volunteer?" he inquired.

Streak listened to Seraphim tell his story of how he discovered his powers and how he got captured and sent here. That's interesting. Streak thought every once in a while as he absorbed the information from Seraphim. "Anyone else care to volunteer?" That comment brought Streak back to his senses. He waited a second or two before he decided to tell his part short but exciting life.

"It all started when I was about ten years old." Streak started. He felt a little like one of those elders from the Native Americans telling a story to the children around a fire. "I was hit by a 18-wheeler and run over many times. The doctors, nurses, family and everyone else who saw me directly after the accident noticed that instead of blood pouring out where it should have; instead there was this silver film," he indicated himself, "began to cover the parts of my body that were the worst off. The doctors couldn't explain anything that was happening to my body. To everyone's surprise, including my own, I recovered very well and very fast. I only had a few broken bones from the accident, which was weird because I probably should have died. For a while I couldn't figure any of it out and the silver film." He indicated to himself again."

"The incident left me with virtually no marks except for an outline on my right upper arm, which the more religious people he knew; along with having me blessed constantly referred to as my "savior's mark"." He made the quotation makes with his fingers as he said "savior's mark". "I later had the mark traced and filled in as a tattoo.

After a while, and lots of practicing locked up in his room I was finally able to get some control over it. I could make the silver film cover my entire body at whenever I wanted or didn't want. However, sometimes when I would get really mad I would lose control of it.

One day when I was working out on the ranch I was cutting down a tree limb with an ax. The ax head broke and I, needless to say got really mad 'cause it would now take me longer to finish the job in the sweltering heat. Then when I was walking back to fix the ax my powers took over and I formed an ax with the silver. After swinging it around I decided that it was stronger than the ax I had just broken. I quickly finished the job with the new ax. It also gave me an incentive to practice my powers some more.

My entire family and friends had noticed a significant change about me. To this day I still don't really know what the change is. One day my parents got a flier int the mail of this school, and after much debating and asking me they sent me there so that they could live normal lives without me to keep people staring at them." He paused and caught his breath.

"I came to the mansion at a weird time. I had only been there a few days or so when this other mutant named Iris went crazy ad started to demolish the mansion and try to hurt a lot of the other mutants. That's where Raina and I met." He nodded his head at her and looked at her for a second. "Once all of that had cooled down and the mansion was finally fixed, which took months and pretty much everyone helped out to get our home back to normal." "That's also how I got a lot stronger." He added as a little side note. "Then in the middle of the night, they came." Now he felt more like someone telling a ghost story at a boy scout camp out. Most of them had guns and a lot of others had handcuffs, tranquillizers, and other tools to capture us.

They made so much noise and commotion by catching many of the mutants that after a while we started to fight back. I joined in the fight; however, we could all tell that it wasn't going well. We were dropping left and right. After a while everyone bolted, including myself and I got separated from a group that I was going to hide with. After a few days I went back to the mansion and started living there to hide. I would steal food from the kitchen then go back into hiding in a wall.

Finally, I assumed that they had given up and left the mansion alone. so I was a little careless and ate in the kitchen like I used to. Then one night I was eating and the snuck up behind me and caught me while I was eating. They slapped this bracelet on my arm and threw me in a holding cell with a bunch of other mutants that were from the mansion. I knew most of them, and Raina was there too. She physically and mutationally looks different than she does now, but I can still recognize her althougth it was harder to recognize her I would be able to recognize you or you no matter how long it has been since we've seen each other." He motioned at Raina's physical appearance.

"So now you have my story and know pretty much everything about me. Who's next." Streak said looking at Raina and to Acer waiting for one of them to take over and tell their story. He knows most of Raina's but he's sure there is more he can learn about her; and as for Acer he know nothing about him.

Raina shrugged. She wasn't expecting life stories... just curious as to how everyone ended up in the camps. But she decided to go with the flow since everyone else was bonding.

"I used to live in a tribe up north. Pretty traditional. We were getting a little modern near the time that I left but still upheld traditions. As part of tradition I was a chanter. It was just a routine ceremonial thing where a few times a year we chant to mother earth for a good hunt, or a fish harvest, or fertility or something. There were silly legends the elders would tell us of chanters from the beginning of the tribe who could control the ellements. When I came along sadley they didn't see me as something divine but for exactly what I was- a mutant. They didn't outright reject me, but they were scared and I had no control. I was asked to leave, almost like it would be a favour for them. So I left my family behind and went around the world. I eventually ended up at the mansion where I met a heart throb of a cop..." she trailed off with a laugh.

"Too bad he didn't like mutants eh?" she smiled. "Stuck here now. Been here since the start."

ooc: sorry had my computer stolen from me

Acer had benn listening to everyones story, he was hoping something would interupt them but his distraction never came.
"Well I guess its my turn huh?.....oh boy well here it goes" he said in a mournful tone."It all started about two weeks ago" he said as if he were on the stand of a jury" my poweres first came into infact that is" continuing he said." for years I had been having trouble with my body, strange convulsions, wierd and terrofying nightmares." Then he change his tone almost as if he were begging the otheres to forgive him" I was sleep and did'nt know what I was doing, I thought it was another nightmare. One of me brutaly slaying my family. It did'nt ocure to me that it was real until It was too late and even then I didnt stop I craved more, lusted the power. I did'nt stop till the police arived. I sloughter the entire team. Finally I veared myself back to rastional thought." he paused as if he were just plunged in the eye of the storm." I did the only thing I could do,.....run" his voice was steely cold. "An officer ran after me, I told him leave me be," he pused looking off into space his voice barley above a whisper, " he corned me in an ally way," his words tremble as he spoke. The sound now so low it made Raina's boom in caparison. " He drew his gun, I lashed out with a power I never felt, it was anger, hatered, fear, lust, all in one." Now he hung his head low in between his knees has he crouched on the floor, " it tore at his body ripping his flesh from his bones, it demolished the brick that surrounded us in the ally, he dead and I did'nt care I wanted more, need more blood, before long others arived at the sceen. I nolonger had the will to fight, I blacked out.......when I awoke I had a team of guards guarding my cage. I had no idea where I was but I knew I would'nt escape. So I waited for two weeks. when they finally transferd me to this place. Where I met a cute mute mermaid and a brave soup can and a 6 winged pretty boy." he finshed in a casul tone." sorry i f I offend you but my humors how I keep going. Well we all no everyone's story but I have to warn you, this bracelet is a good thing on me, without it I can't control my powers, so ounce we're out of here I can't be around you any more, it just would be safe. So let me tell you yall now thank you very much." he looked them each in the eyes " for ececcpting me......now if you tell anyone that I have a soft side I'll kill you."

ooc: Guys, I was thinking we could veer toward This Thread if you're interested. I'm def using it as an excuse for Raina, if you wanna get in on it we can just assume we all decided to use this event in the cafeteria all along for this purpose. Totally open to you.

Raina listened patiently then checked the clock on the wall. The others- they'd be waiting for her. She nodded to the stories but seem distracted. She looked over her shoulders and around the area. She wasn't sure if she should tell them... just because she was making the decision didn't mean she should endanger their lives! Then again, these newer recruits... they might need this. She took a breath.

"Boys...' she started, her collar crackling. "There's a place. There's a place here to get ready. To get ready to escape." she spoke as she was standing up. "I can't say much, but to get there, you must be thrown in group confinement..." she spyed one of the guards from earlier approaching their area. She didnt want him to catch the others, but needed to be caught herself so she started walking to meet him looking like a mad woman. "If you meet me there, I can explain... but it's a risk." that was all she could say before the guard took off in a run toward her and she had to start running to lead them away. "Just get caught!" she suggested with a crazy smile as a guard collided into her a few yards away from them.

The guards slammed her into a wall calling her a freak and pulling her by her hair which was stark black now but grown in. "We're taking you to group confinement" said the guard pulling her away

ooc: hope that made sense! PM me if you need help

Aftrer everyone finished thier short stories Raina did something completely unpredictble. She ran outside and straight for the guards. She willing gave herself to them. THere was no fight, no struggle what soever. The quickly aprahanded her, taking her to a place they called [glow=red,2,300]group confinement[/glow].There was no way he could allow them to take his new found friend away like that, " hey you" he screamed chasing after the guards. " what do you think youre doing huh?" Acer asked them with a delvish look in his eye, Acer felt his heart pumping, His thoughts were blank but growing with rage, a constant ringing of the roar of flames, flames seiring inside him, engulfing him til there was nothing left but pure black hate. Somewhere off in the distance he could feel his brcelet buzzing as a swarm of angry bees, but he felt no pain as this strange storm of hate consumed him.
"ha look another one, hey its the brat" one the gaurds said as he approached Acer, swinging his batton menisly. "Careful" another said to his commrad " I heard about him, he aint right"
" Yeah " the first gaurd answerded" none aint right, they freaks"
Just then as the first gaurd reached his target, the young boy lashed his arms out, ssending blades of energy through the air, tearing apart the gaurds body, like a tiger on ham. With that display of energy the bracelet rang and writhed eith energy as it sent jolt after jolt into poor Acer's young body. But this however made no difference, for the poor young teenage boy was lost a liltle while ago as his rage stormed inside of him, he could barley tell the difference from the pain of his braclet or the fury of his own demonic like powers.
" Dont underestemate him" Said the second guard as he pulled out his taser and begain to charge the boy himself, along with two other heavy gaurds armed with tasers of thier own. Acer gave the seconed gaurds a toss across the yard with one furosioius blast of energy, but he had over exerted himself. He was done and he knew it. The two heavy set set gaurds pounced on their target, beating the young boy's unconsious body as though their beating could bring back their friend.

[glow=red,2,300]"There's a place. There's a place here to get ready. To get ready to escape." [/glow]

What was she talking about? Acer thought as they drug his carcus across the ground

[glow=red,2,300] "I can't say much, but to get there, you must be thrown in group confinement..."[/glow]

" you liltle punk" on gaurd said to Acer as he drag him," hope you like group confinement, you'll soon learn your place freak, there bigger and bader mutants than you here, and youre about to meet them...ha haha ha"

Well hope youre safe Raina, Im coming after you.

ooc: sorry my computers been broken for a while.

After everyone had finished with their little stories Raina did something he never expected her to do. He watched her get caught without so much as a fight. Soon Acer ran out after the guards that took Raina. "No, Acer. She knows what shes talking about." He tried to say to Acer but Streak doubted he heard him. "I hope." Streak added to Seraphim.

"Well I stick out easy enough and they'll definitely be looking for me to put away so I'm going." Streak waited a little while after they had taken Acer and walked outside. Pretty soon the guards saw him and immediately there were anywhere from six to ten guards in almost an instant surrounding him. Well they now know how dangerous I am. Streak thought before they tazed him and knocked him unconscious.

"We got one of the more dangerous freaks." one of the guards said as they carried him off to the group confinement area.
