Mason grabbed the football from the pile of balls, bringing it under his arm. He passed Mato, patting him on the shoulder. That guy always went to do his own thing most of the time, but that was cool with Mason. He was in the mood for a good aggressive game of football. He walked down to the lake with the ball. The field on the lake was perfect for a game, since there was a lot of open space and it was away for the other games in case the game takes a rough turn, like it usually does.
"Ok listen up, we're playing it the old fashioned way. That means no powers, especially you Burns. I'll kick your ass if this ball becomes anything edible," Mason warned and watched the people line up. "This isn't gonna be a game for frails, we're playing tackle so be sure you're up for it. Line up then we're choosing teams. I have one team, someone else claim the other," he yelled out to the group that decided to play.
"You all know how this works. Two teams, and we do a coin toss for the kickoff. Assemble then," Mason said and tossed the ball to himself, waiting for everyone to assimilate on the team they wanted to be on.

Alex snapped out of auto pilot when he heard the mention of tackle. That means some hard hitting football. His eyes opened and there was a new fire in them. Especially when he saw who was leading the other team. A crazy idea sprouted in that head of his. He was going to step up and lead the other team.
"I'll be the other captain hermano."
Alex stepped up and stood at least ten feet to the left of Mason. Alex was six feet and two hundred and ten pounds of muscle. Alex felt he could take down almost anyone that was going to play. But Alex had his cross hairs on Mason. Alex was still a little bit sour from this morning and he was going to let it out on the field.

Kelly stood beside Mason and had to laugh when he saw the New Mutant try and step up. "Hey uhh Pedro, Paco whatever your name is. I think when Rictus said for someone to step up as Captain, he meant someone EVERYONE agrees with to be captain. Out of luck there," he said laughing so hard holding his side. Kelly may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but he was bright enough to know that with the way this guy reputation went, he'd have little luck.
Kelly straightened up and stopped laughing, though he still had giggles coming out in bursts. "Ok enough joking around. I wanna play some FOOTBALL!" he screamed the last part. "Let's break up in teams and have someone Captain that isn't gonna make me laugh so hard," Kelly said still laughing and holding on to Mason's shoulder to keep himself from falling over.

Damn it. Even when I actually try I can't keep up with them. Ah, well at least I'm better than the drama queen brigade, Katana thought rolling her eyes at Decay and Ripple. "Sorry, Chase...I'll get straight to the mountain climbers." she said in an almost fake cheery voice, and launched into the mountain climbers hard. But no sooner had she started than Wolverine ordered a lap around the school grounds and Katana found herself running hard to catch up. Determined to show her worth she forced herself to run really fast and after starting out behind passed several of the other students. The result, however, was that by the time they finished the run she was trying to hide her own gasps for air.
When Wolverine told everybody to break into groups Katana immediately started heading for the basketball court. It was her favorite game and she enjoyed it greatly. She also still cherished the memory of playing with Jumper. Poor guy. Beast tells me he should get better but I have a hard time believing it after all this time. I'd give anything to have him back. But half way to the courts another thought entered her mind. Decay and all her friends will probably want to play. Then they'll say something stupid and I'll lose my temper. Better not risk it. What else is there to do? Looking around she saw Alex over with the a couple of Corsairs, one of whom., Ironclad, was holding a football. Football wasn't a particular favorite of hers, but Alex was a cool guy, the closest thing she had to a friend, and so she decided to go play with them. "Hey, Alex, you better not be starting without me," she called over to him. "I am so going to kick your butt," she said jokingly. She could joke with him that way. He seemed to be the only person who didn't take her banter the wrong way.

Ariel stood next to her teammates, a smirk on her face and her arms crossed over her chest as she waited for the football game to start. She watched some of the younger students join them and looked at the younger Latino who called himself the other captain. She had seen how his team reacted to him, and to see him assert himself like this (again) in front of her and her team, she just about laughed. No, she did laugh. Someone like him had earned little respect and that little would be what he would get. "You sure about that, careculo? Maybe one of your little friends would be better for it?" she asked, a defined smirk accompanying the question.
She was looking forward to knocking people over, and as she would most probably play on the side of her team she would look forward to knocking over the overassertive younger boy and whoever else. Ariel saw that Kelly was still holding onto Mason to stand up right and laughed again. "Ah, this will be fun," she said, shaking her head with another chuckle and patted Kelly on the shoulder, one eyebrow raised in utter amusement as she waited for more people to join so they could play.

"Oh my god, I can't believe my ears. Burns got some of his brain cells back!" Brock said walking to the field with a smirk on his face. "Let's give the Captain position a little bit of respect eh Timmy?" he said to the Spanish kid. He didn't know the kid's name or codename, so he just decided to give him one he made up.
Brock glanced back to see Aideen with the Native American guy, the smirk on his face widening. "Well look at that, Hot Stuff is going on a ride. Guess it's a warm up on me taking her on the ride of her life then," he said only baiting the Corsairs at this point. He went up to Mason and smirked at him, putting a mock sincere look on his face. "Let's leave all that for now huh Rictus? You want a game of football, I'm your man. I'll play on your team once the others get a decent guy to call the shots, and I mean football shots, not tequila shots Timmy. Write that down," Brock said out loud looking back at the Spanish kid.
He didn't care for most of the younger kids, talking to barely any of them and just tossing some aside. One or two he couldn't avoid, but he tried his best to with most of them. They weren't all that interesting anyways.

Sean smiled at Kate and pressed a kiss on her forehead. "You be careful now, okay Katie girl. I'm gonna go and toss around the ol' pigskin with the others," he told her before he watched her go to the pool and step out of her clothes in her bikini. He watched her for a minute with a soft smile on his face, enjoying the view. When he was satisfied she was okay, Sean headed over to where the group was that played football.
"I'm in for a game," he said and stood off to wait and see how this team thing would work. He didn't really talk to the older kids for obvious reasons, but he did like Ironclad. He saw him in the garage often and even helped him out with his car once in awhile, easily patching up a scratch or any parts that resulted in a night out.
Sean shook his head a bit at Alex, who had a habit of asserting a position where it was a little futile to do so, like with Riker or the older kids. "Come on Alex, we'll just wait and see what's gonna happen. It ain't worth it," he said to the guy and looked around to see how many players they were talking about here.

After warm ups, Lurai headed over to the lake where football would be played. To her this game was fun- it was strategic and gave her the opportunity to let herself be more wolfish in taking down other people with good reason other than being territorial. Besides, Lurai didn't care for basketball, nor did she care for volleyball. It was more preferable than basketball, yes, and even though swimming was tempting as well she rather play football.
Her ears picked up the conversation between the other students and she barked laughing as she joined them. Alex was, in her opinion, pitiful. As the Alpha female of the New Mutants he had not earned her respect or a good opinion, so as Sean spoke, she approached and smirked. "Why do you still bother? Earn your place," she said to him, her ears twitching as she heard bits of conversations from other groups.
"Shall we decide on a captain now or do you know if more people are coming?" Lurai asked, looking at Sean and then the rest of the group, beginning to itch to have the game start. She observed the older students, and knew they were tough, and she could already feel her competitive edge starting to kick in.

Trotting up and making eye contact with Mason, Chester broke into a quick run and looking back raised his hand for a pass, cutting across to the right. He was not one for talking and he'd play his heart out on whatever team he wound up on, but for right now until they sides were chosen he didn't want to stand around gabbing, he just wanted the ball.
Looking at the bunch of them all standing there he saw a few more younger kids on the way over and wondered what some of them were thinking by coming to play football with the big dogs. A perfect spiraling pass caught his eye and he legged it out to make the grab before pulling up in his run and turning to see Kelly Burns looking ready to break into a run. With a wave of his hand high in front of him he signaled for him to go long.

"Let's go babydoll." Norrison said to his beautiful thorny Rose. "Football?" he asked pulling her close and whispering "Just come with." He knew as well as anyone of the students who had been around that Wolverine had some incredible senses and he did not want to tip his proverbial hand as to the plan of the day.
With Machete in tow he made his way over to the group playing football and seeing the lowly mutants who he considered so beneath himself gathered there he looked to his woman with a sly clever sneer on his face. "Good this ought to be far enough away from that hairy freak to talk. Lets hang out here for a bit and then we'll just drift off into the woods and head for the boathouse. He never looks there and if he does we can say we're going canoing or some shit."
He smiled at Machete in a nearly ravenous way before pulling her roughly to him to kiss her hard on the mouth. He didn't care about decorum, and public displays of affection were no problem for him since he considered himself above the general population at large. The effects of having been raised with too much money and too much freedom left Inflict a very spoiled individual and he could care less what anyone thought.

Ian went straight to play football with the others, that being his favorite sport. He played football since he was really young with his family, and then was the star player all through high school, playing hockey the rest of the year. Ian was in a lot of sense a typical jock, but it worked for him.
He ran back to Haven and put his arm over her waist, his eyes on Rumble. They were getting closer to them so he figured they could talk now. "We're gonna teach that shithole a lesson babe. No one does that shit to Spitfire. It's been going on for too long and if he doesn't get it from her all those times she got him, believe me babe he's gonna get it from us. And I don't give a shit how tough those shitbag Hellions think they are, no one messes with our girl. Not now either, she finally looks okay and I ain't having him ruin that. I'm tired of seein' her out of it cause of that asshole," Ian said in a fierce low voice.
When they got up to the group Ian looked right at Rumble and Ironclad, who seemed to have gotten a team together. "I'm taken Captain of the second team. Haven't done it in awhile and suddenly, I'm in the mood to," Ian said in a harsher kind of voice that left no room for argument. Screw the Hellions, Rumble's gotta get it in his head that he's messing with the wrong chick.

"I got it, I got it!" Kelly yelled, pushing the Spanish kid out of the way as he ran for the ball. He had a lean and strong muscle enough to still let him run fast. He ran across the field and jumped up as Stoney threw him the ball. The ball hit him with quite a bit of force right in his chest. Kelly caught the ball and landed on the ground with a THUD.
"Oooow. No wait wait, I can totally do this," Kelly said and scrambled to his feet, running again and aiming the ball to Stoney. "Check out my awesome NFL moves. This is why I'm like a guy on tv that plays football!" Kelly shouted and then jumped up in the air and his body moved to the side. When he was in the air on his side, he threw the ball back to Stoney and once again landed on his side with a really hard THUD.
"OoOOooowwww hah hah wwwww!" He whined and clutched his side, having landed on it at an awkward angle. "Why can the guys on TV do it and not meee?!" he whined and rolled around on the ground.

Half walking half running up to the football game alongside Ian, Haven nodded at his worlds. Little more need be said, she was in complete agreement with him. Too many nights had come and gone with her best friend and room mate all twisted up and pissed off. Ember never said a word as to why, or even that she was out of sorts, but she didn't have to.
Niki knew all too well how her friend reacted to the advances of that ass faced Hellion, Brock, and she was going to make it her business to wreck that guy's world the way he had done her friends. Aideen was too cool a person to have such crap dumped on her. From early on in their relationship Haven knew that Ember was especially wonderful. She had been the only person to ever treat her like a person and they had become almost instant soul-mates.
Their friendship being the one thing that had saved the entire school and everyone in it from going to Limbo...that was at least until almost everyone did go to Limbo...however, it didn't lessen the sacrifice Haven had made for her friendship to Ember. In saving her from Sabretooth and the school from the dimension bombs, Haven had given herself up as a lamb to the slaughter.
Two months of hard and laborious punishment later and she was not going to have another moment of a sad, worried, or despondently distant best friend. Niki had decided that the very next time she saw or heard anything that she was going to take what 'The Brotherhood' had taught her and use it, no matter the consequences or repercussions. She had made her choice and reached her breaking point. The line had been drawn, and right there before god and everyone... Rumble had stepped across it.

Rose wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and kissed him back for all it was worth. She wanted people to see her with him, to know that she was with him and that made her all the more important. "Mmmm that sounds like a plan baby. Besides he's gonna be too busy keeping his eyes on Brock so his precious golden star student stays all pure," Rose said with disgust, rolling her eyes.
Her fingers walked up from his chest seductively and she smirked at the hunger in his eyes. "Let's not stay long baby. I think we can get a better workout in the boathouse," she said seductively, bringing her lips close to his before pulling away teasingly, moving to grab his hand and walking to go a bit back from the crowd, putting an extra swing in her hips just for him. "Out of the way twerps," Rose said pushed aside the dirty Paragon girl and the taco bell spokesguy. She looked back at Inflict and with a slight look of malice as she grinned seductively.

Despite the fact that the older boys were only tossing the ball around, Lurai already was eager to start taking people down and wanting the ball. Sharp white teeth were easily seen as she grinned and almost chuckled to herself as she crouched down, getting ready to go after the ball. Her barks were laughs as she launched herself towards Stoney, ramming into his chest with her back and catching the ball before he could.
She landed in a tumble hugging the ball and giggling to herself. Her tail wagged as she turned the ball over in her hands, trying not to pop the ball with her sharper-than-average fingernails. Lurai looked over at the others and grinned again. "Let's play already," she said to them, getting up on one foot while her tail wagged. She was quite looking forward to stealing the ball from her opponents and knocking people over. It allowed for her wolfy side to take more control, which was good since she had to control herself to be at least somewhat acceptable in society.
Her toothy grin wouldn't leave her face as she tossed the ball hard at Ironclad. "You are starting the game?" she asked, standing up straight now as her ears twitched.
