~::BaMF::~ Kurt hadn't been resting on his laurels, but he hadn't quite been dressed to break up the inevitable fight when Emma had contacted his mind with her own. Fresh from the shower, as it were, he'd quickly dressed and just as Ian had called out his marching orders, he'd arrived on the scene. "Ja, zhis is exactly vhat I vas expecting" he mumbled as he quickly assessed the situation. "I vill take zhe vurst of zhem down eef jou don't mind Diesel. A good plan as I heard you call it out, but zhe pain showing on zheir faces looks to be unbearable." With that he set about on a rapid fire round of teleportations.. ~Bamf ~ bAMf ~ BAmF~ ..taking Sky then Heather and finally Chase down to the infirmary in the span of two second's time before returning to give Ian the go ahead to take the rest of them down. Kurt had a mystery to get to the bottom of and he was pretty sure the one person, the young lady sitting there in the middle of the chaos looking like the cat that ate the canary, was at the bottom of it all. As Ian, Ricki, Riker and Niki began to collect the rest of the injured to take them down to Beast, Kurt turned to walk over and crouch down right in front of Lymited~Ink. "I zhink jou know vhat happened here.. Ja?" From his room on the top floor of the boy's dormitory he had heard the sound of what seemed like Kat's laughter run through the biggest stack of Marshall amps that any rock band could have ever dreamed of touring with. He knew what she was capable of with her power, and to be specific it was anything and everything she could imagine and translate into tattoo form. "Tell me.. zhat sonic assault.. eet sounded like your laughter Kat. So, vhat power have you inked yourself viss zhis time liebshen?"

"Oh Mah!" Maddy had fallen at the boom, a bit disoriented and not sure exactly what just happened. Her ears were ringing a little bit but she wasn't too bad off otherwise. The fall on the concrete did make her skin her elbow something fierce though, as she had pretty much slid across it. "Leave it tah me tah get mahself one mean lookin' cut from a lil' fall," she muttered to herself, sitting up and looking around to try and get a better at her elbow.
This school was really turning out to be something. That whole stunt with Dante just now was... well certainly something to behold. He reminded Maddy of her ex, perhaps a little too much, though from the look of him he was probably just a little younger. That DID actually frighten her, as her ex had been the reason she had to take self defense classes to begin with. On top of all that, the powers that the people at this school had were really starting to stir something up within Maddy, but she didn't know it was nervousness or curiosity. She thought her own was pretty cool, but it did make her just a bit nervous that it didn't seem like much next to the ones that others had.
She pushed her short hair out of her face, and looked around, a look of concern falling over her when she saw Jasper lying on the other side of the court. She saw him fly behind her at the big boom from the impact, and she had to admit that it looked like it hurt big time. Cryin' shame tah ruin such a pretty face, she thought as she got up slowly, her head still spinning slightly. "Well dat's one hellova a way tah shake up dis gig," Maddy said rubbing her head as she walked over to Jasper slowly. "Yah a'righ' dere Handsome? Dat was one hellova fall yah took." She smiled slightly and leaned down to check on him.

Gavin shook his head a bit to get the ringing noise out of his ears. It wasn't all that bad for him, but man did that cause some epic ringing in his ears. He had to wonder if going to as many concerts as he did made the blow easier for him. He remembered concerts that he went to in New York City and in all the big Rock fests around his area, where the speakers were so loud that he would hear the thumping in his ears for days. "Oh man that was crazy. I am so gonna be looking at Black Canary differently now. I always thought that she was good just for some you know good stuff to look at. That's some bad ass sound," Gavin said rubbing his head a bit and waiting for a moment before he got to his feet.
He got up on his feet unsteadily, giving Ricki a slight grin to let her know that he was cool. He really was too, he had already been sitting on the grass when it hit and it was anything that he could walk off. Gavin shook his head again to try and keep it from spinning and the ringing in his ears to get off. "Wow man, that did liven things up," he said blinking and grinning slightly as he looked around. There were a good couple of people that looked disoriented, but he didn't see anything all that serious.
Well he didn't until he happened to glance up at the sound of someone calling, only to see that green haired chick that came the other day floating in the air. It wasn't in Gavin to hold back laughter, even in this situation though he really did try. "Do I wanna know how you ended up in the air like that?" he asked, spreading his wings out and bringing himself up in the air with one powerful sweep. He circled the girl in the air with a grin. "How is it that you can get yourself up, but not down?" Gavin smirked as he flew around her just out of reach.

Had Donna not been hanging upside down in midair, she might have enjoyed a little attention from Gavin. He was flying in circles, just too far out of reach to be helpful. As it was, Donna was too distracted by the blood rushing to her head to appreciate it. She managed a nonchalant smile as she slowly rotated in place. "Going up is the easy part, mate. It's the getting down that's banjaxed. It usually involves a rather stellar crash."
Donna felt like she had to pop her ears. Even her own voice sounded a touch muffled, like she'd stuck her head underwater and was listening through a liquid filter. She stuck a finger in one of her ears and gave it a good shake. "What happened? Sounded like a..." She looked up (which was actually DOWN for people not hanging wrongside up) and saw Nightcrawler sitting with the pirate chick, the one that could give herself whatever power she liked with little more than a tat. Oooooooh, Donna thought. "Twas the Paragon pirate, huh?" She giggled. "Makes sense."
Donna let out a relieved sigh. The school wasn't under attack, there was no danger other than another student playing with powers she didn't quite understand. Unfortunately, with her mood stabilizing...
"Oh feck!" Donna's weight returned without warning and she dropped like a rock.

Kat bit her lip hard, still resisting the urge to keep the grin on of her face at the wonderful mess she’d made. She knew she had aimed for a sonic scream type of power, but she hadn’t expected just a normal laugh to have made such a loud blast that everyone was acting like the school was under attack. “Uh,” she started to say, already starting to forget that normal volume meant literally blowing everyone away before she stopped herself from making another disaster. She gave him a thin, amused, but innocent looking smile as she pointed down to the newest tattoo on her ankle. Her wide blue eyes glinted as she did look like the cat that ate the canary while her fingers traced what she could call the “shockwaves” around the music note she had etched into her skin.
She dared whisper, “Black Canary” as softly as she could though it came in a breathless laugh. She saw how effective a normal voice was, so she risked whispering to Nightcrawler an answer to his question. Even then it still came out rather loud despite the area quickly cleaning out for less people to affect, and she covered her mouth quickly, hiding the sheepish smile that had formed though it reached her eyes. It seemed that even a whisper could affect someone, especially one crouched right in front of her. She’d known the power would be fun in theory, and she thought it was fun in practice as well, although she hadn’t been expecting to blow out everyone’s ears from just a laugh.
At least with this power she wouldn’t have to put in much effort for it to work. The trick was, she realized, was probably the effort she’d have to put in to control it so she didn’t destroy every person’s hearing. Ah well, ‘twill only last a couple days. And what a crazy coupla days it’ll be as the school’s resident howlin’ harpy, she thought, holding back the giggle she so wanted to let out as she had formed the thought.

Finally a teacher doing something for once. Haven thought with condescension as she watched Nightcrawler do his thing. It kind of bothered her that her plan was shot down, but Ian always did opt for the path of least destruction and in a way she knew he was right to hold off wrecking the roof of the hangar. It seemed especially prudent at that moment considering that Kurt would have shown up before Diesel could have finished tearing his way through the basketball court anyway. Then where would the both of them be, since she wouldn't allow her man to be held solely responsible for acting on an idea she had. She looked at Ian for a split second and as their eyes met they shared a moment of calm in the chaos before turning away to figure out who else needed their help.
Torri's fine and she's run off into the mansion, Gavin's goin after Hulk hair and Ricki's ok too it seems. Maddy and Jasper look like they need- whaAA? Suddenly her forcefield went up again as she fell over something- No.. someONE. She put the puzzle together as she went with the fall turning it into a cartwheel with a roundoff so she could face what she tripped over. "Wraith!?! Wraith? That was you right?" She called out as she dropped her forcefield yet again, this time with slightly less difficulty as things were settling down.
Kneeling down where she though it was that she had tripped she felt around for their invisible team mate. "I swear if you are messin with me you will know why the ice-twat has a purple swollen face. Where are YOU?- oh okaaay there you are, you alright?" She finally found the lump of invisible solidness that was the new kid and tried to figure out which end was his head. "Okay still breathin." she said softly, thinking aloud as she felt his chest moving up and down, but she knew that if he was out of it or his ears were ringing he'd be hard pressed to answer her on his condition. In that moment she had to almost laugh at herself.
The thought of just the day before having pounded the tar outta Frostbite and saved a few kids from being frozen with her forcefield, and then today all THIS hero shit. She was really throwing herself into it all and it felt kind of good in a guilty way. "Come on, sit up" she said to him as she took his one arm and started to pull him up while sliding her other arm under his neck to keep his head from flopping around.

As much as Dante was becoming chill to be in a place like this, dealing with the crap that people pulled with their powers was definitely a downside. A slew of curses left his mouth at the ringing in his ears, his eyes narrowed in slits as he looked over at the hot little gothic number. "Damn broad's better off keepin' her mouth shut to begin with," he growled, standing up on shaky legs. He had enough social hour for now, and Kat's little stunt was the sign for him to split away from the squares and find some entertainment of his own.
'Well ain't that just a $&%#in' slice of pie. I always said that trouble will come if a broad opens her mouth and you don't put nothing in it, shit man this just shows how right I am,' he brooded to himself as he tried to walk off the ringing in his ears. Dante was just blowing smoke at this point, he was irritated with the painful ringing in his ears and the fact that this shit always had to happen when he was around. This school was a pit of accidents waiting to happen, and he was getting more antsy as he tried to make himself get used to it.
He walked off toward the side of the school, planning on having a smoke before he went in to check on Sky and Chase. They were cool enough, and that blond was a looker, so there was always that as well. Dante lit up a cigarette as he leaned against the wall and took a long drag to try and relax despite the ringing in his ears. He thought back to the look on Gavin's face when his girl laid a big one on him. It was a waste in Dante's mind; that guy's eyes were glued to every cute skirt that crossed his path. That girl was going to get herself played big time, a situation he'd seen happen time and time again and he was watching it happen in front of him once again with those two.
Things like that amused him and pissed him off at the same time. Then again since he got to the school, everything had been pissing him off slightly. He needed to fight again, the pressure was building in him as he thought more and more to fight club, the feel of his fists inflicting some serious bruises and the breaking of bones, as well as the addicting feeling of watching and waiting for the next guy's move. Once in awhile he'd feel that shot of pain when he got hit, coursing through his system like a shot of adrenaline and fueling him all the more rather than slowing him down. Dante took another drag of his cigarette as he concentrated on the memory of fight club just earlier that week, making him forget his ringing ears momentarily as he stood surrounded in his usual cloud of smoke.

"Ahk! Careful child jou vill blow out my eardrums as vell." Kurt said as he saw the look of sublime mischief dancing behind Kat's eyes. "Let me have a look a vhat jou've done. His attention was focused on Kat but he knew to be mindful of the rest of the kids. Trusting Piotr's unofficial team captain Ian to handle the little bit left to mop up and watching out of the corner of his eye as the Acolytes, Gavin, Ricki and Haven, stepped up to help as well. "Ohhh I see, nice needlevork here" he said as he lifted up her foot, gently turning it to the side to have a look at her ankle. "But I zink jou may have forgotten one important little zhing, ja?" A nod of his head and although the tone was light he didn't smile. He was actually quite upset at the damage one of his team had wrought on so many of the other students. Of all of his Paragons he had such high hopes for Kat after the way she had behaved on the bridge of the Broken Dagger. Ah vell, she is human after all, und aren't ve all svept avay viss our own desires at times.. it is vhat being a kid is all about. He considered the artwork on her leg for a moment before it dawned on him and the solution to Kat's dilemma was just so obvious he had to chuckle. "Ah, Kurt jou fool- eet vas staring jou in zhe face zhe whole time" he said to himself out loud. Looking up into Kat's pretty pools of blue he let a toothy grin warm his face and said "I know jou must zhink zhis is zhe best.. to be able to do zhis mit jour voice und all.. but eef jou look at it realistically jou know it's not a very practical power as it is. Hold on just a moment- ~BaMf~ -Ta daa, your dorm room." He had teleported the both of them to the hallway outside her dorm room, not wanting to risk teleporting into the midsts of who knows what kid of mess awaited behind her door. "I see vhat your tattoo is missing, und ve can fix it up right now. Get your inks und gear ready. I'll help jou." The encouragement in his voice was engaging and he knew she might balk at altering her tattoo, but in fairness it would do her no good to be unable to speak even at all, her slightest whisper a danger to herself and others. "Smile.. it vill not lessen vhat you have done child, only focus it. I have heard you sing und I know you are comfortable in zhe key of 'C'. Jou know, Bob Dylan said it to be zhe key of strength und also zhe key of regret.. how fitting as I'm sure deep down you regret vhat happened." Lifting an eyebrow as he looked for any sign that she might feel bad about the accident she'd caused. "Ve need only contain zhe strength of ziss new power in a scale, und vhen you hit zhe note, well.. ha haa.. zhe note vill hit back. Ja?"

And with great timing on Gavin's part, Donna dropped right into his arms. "Well so nice of you to drop in! And oh so gracefully too, like a swan," he teased as he jumped her a bit in his arms so the back of her knees hitched over his arm. "You know, I always wondered if a day would come that I'll just hold my arms and a girl will drop right into them. Looks like my thought came true! Now does this mean I get to keep you?" Gavin had a look on his face as if he was in deep thought as he casually flew them around, not anywhere near the ground yet, since he was sort of having fun.
"Technically I probably like own you now or something, there's gotta be a law where you're allowed to own whatever happens to fall in your arms, I'll look it up later. That's alright though," he gave Donna a big grin as he spread his wings out carefully to land on the ground. "I mean come on wouldn't it be like a dream come true for you right there? You can be like, my own private groupie! And if you're really REALLY nice to me, I'll let you stroke my feathers whenever you want," Gavin said with a wink at Donna before he gently sat her down on her feet.
He stepped back and bowed deeply, acting all royal and proper as if he was a Prince or something. "Happy to be of service to you mademoiselle," he said taking her hand in his as he was still in a bow, and winked at her. "And now, I will finish it off with a suave line meant to complete my act. Voulez vous coucher avec moi." He at that point had to try really hard not to laugh, especially when he saw Ricki looking at him. "See Ricki, I can be suave and charming and sophisticated. NYAH!" He stuck his tongue out at her and then proceeded to look around to see what others were up to. Hey, where did Heather go?

"Don't worry Maddy babe, Jasper's fine. He's German, nothing hurts them," Ian said with a slight smile as he walked over to them to check them out. "Oh man Maddy babe, that's a knarly scrape you got there man, at least go and have Doc clean it or something. I mean we got a first aid kit around here somewhere too, but at least do somethin' ya know." He gave her a slight smile as he inspected the long scrape on her elbow. It wasn't anything worse than the stuff that happened to him when he played tackle football with his buddies on the cement at school, but it still had to have stung.
"Need a hand up Jasper?" Ian said offering his friend a hand to get to his feet. "Are your ears ringing or what? I'm tellin' you bro, it was totally like radical when I heard it the first time, but Imma lucky enough to got that healing power and stuff." He steadied Jasper on his feet and let go of his arm only when he was sure the guy was steady on his feet. "You doing okay man? Gonna live?" When it looked like Jasper could stand on his own two feet, Ian let go and grinned widely. "I knew you German dudes were like invincible," he said with a slight chuckle and clapped Jasper on the back as gently as he could. He didn't wanna accidentally break anyone's back or something.
"If ya'll need Doc, just follow the others down to the Med Lab. It looks like the First Aid kit could fix it though, just sayin' is all." Ian grinned at them and turned around to look and see if there was anyone else that looked like they were hurt or out of it. "Everyone good? Who's not good?" Ian yelled as he looked around at those left.

"I'm alright," Lian said as she got out of the pool. Her clothes were soaked but she didn't really mind, considering the heat. Her skin didn't do well in hot weather but the day had a nice breeze so it wasn't so bad. She just liked the fact that cool water hit against her at the right moment... just not really the best time. She looked around, noticing who was gone and who was a bit injured but would be OK. "Aw damn it!" she continued. "Watergirl's gone... now I have to actually shower and change.... aw boy am I gonna hear it from SkyBitch the Drama Queen."
She sighed deeply, not really bummed out but being a bit dramatic herself and then smirked at Ian. "I'll meet you guys down in the med lab. Knowing Sky, she'll probably need an Asian servant to make her feel better about herself. Same shit happened when I threw a pencil in her eye... it didn't actually STAB her..." She didn't really wait for their responses but did enjoy making people freak out over her crazy stories that she and Sky shared. She could remember a nice field trip to the mall that they had when they first got there... OK they actually snuck to the mall while using X-Men property of the van. Emma gave them blackbird detail for a month and they had to wash it entirely!!
She ran to her room to change her clothes real quick. She didn't care about the shower and chlorine smelled nice sometimes unless it dried on you. But for now she would be fine and she knew that Sky wasn't dying, hence why she wasn't in so much of a rush. However at the end of the day, she and Sky were best friends; practically sisters. And if either of them got hurt they would fend for each other until death.

"Lady Marmalade would be proud,” Donna said as her feet made contact with the ground. Her voice was a bit too loud to compensate for the stuffy feeling in her ears. “Thanks for the lift, mate. Tis the only way to travel with a lovely boy.” Already distracted from the calming chaos, Donna skipped away and headed toward medical. There was an irritating pressure on her eardrums that wasn’t exactly painful, but was still messing with her balance. She felt like if she could only pop her ears, she’d be back in business, but no matter how she worked her jaw, the pressure didn’t lessen.
“Never a dull moment, huh Maddy? Jasper?” Maddy was sporting a wicked looking scrape and Jasper… he looked like he usually did. Unpleasant. Good luck with that, Maddy, she thought to herself with a grin. The New Mutant wobbled a few more steps off balance. “The bloody pirate girl’s gone and broke my equilibrium.” She thought about it a moment and giggled. “Bwahaha! Everything’s all spinny! Weeeeee!” She let herself sprawl on the basketball court and stared up at the clouds. “It’s like a being on a swing set but none of the work. I’m down with this, mates.” Grinning dazedly, Donna tucked her hands behind her head and enjoyed the spacey, dizzy feeling in her tummy.

~In Kat's Room~Kat looked at Nightcrawler, eyes wide as she listened to what he suggested in order to fix her problem. She looked as if the humor had gone from when she couldn’t stop laughing, even though she knew what had been happening once she had started. As funny as it had been she understood that her idea to have this new power was most likely not a good one, and she hadn’t really meant to cause as big an accident as she had. It was somewhat evident in her expression since she couldn’t speak, but what else helped make her expression was the slight unhappiness that she would have to alter her tattoo, even though it meant that her new temporary power would be under control. She made a small grimace at the thought before letting out a silent sigh, hunching her shoulders as she nodded in response to Nightcrawler’s proposal. She held up her pointer finger in a way to tell him to hold on as she stepped around the mess on her floor. Tidiness hadn’t ever been really something she’d adhered to, and it was something her parents had given up trying to get her to follow. It wasn’t so bad that one couldn’t walk across the floor without falling over something, but a lot of black clothes were sprawled all over, and there were a couple things of hers, like a Jolly Roger pirate flag she had yet to put up on her wall and a deck of cards that was scattered around the floor, that had yet to be taken care of. Her makeup and tattoo equipment, however, were placed neatly on her dresser with utmost care. Kat then turned to scurry over to one corner where she kept one of her sketch pads and grabbed a pencil laying nearby. She flipped to a fresh page and scribbled on it, pursing her lips slightly in what could have seemed like a concentrated look, although she seemed to be peeking up from the sketch pad every so often while she kept her team leader waiting. A second or two later, she handed him the pad and pencil. As he read it, she went and gracefully swayed her way around the things that littered the floor as she walked over to where she kept her tattoo equipment. She gathered it up in her arms as if she were hugging it and made her way back to Nightcrawler, her eyes still wide, although now in curiosity to see what he had in mind to add to her tattoo.

Kurt had followed her in and took up a perch on the top on one of her bedposts and as she had floated around the obstacle course of her room he smiled. Nodding at her note he took the pad and drew a scale for her to tattoo onto her ankle so she could pen in her power and gain some measure of control over this unexpected choice of power.
"Ah like zhis. Jou see vhat I'm talkink about? Eef you just put zhe note inside zhe scale right here" he pointed with the pencil to where the note she already possessed on her flesh should be positioned "und zhe note is like zhis." Kurt cleared his throat and began to sing out holding the sustained note a moment or two. "Ve vill vork on hitting zhe note after jou get it into zhe scale, but I'm sure you vill be able to hit it viss ease liebshen."
"Eef you vant me to I can draw zhe scale right on jour leg so you vill have no vories at all child. Vould you like zhat?" his smile was warm and comforting as he was sure she didn't understand exactly how music was written and if something was lost in the translation then she would have a very hard time accessing this new power of hers.

Kat raised an eyebrow slightly, appraising the scale that Nightcrawler was proposing she add to her tattoo. Her lips pressed together as she tilted her head, debating with herself to see if she could replicate it perfectly enough so that she would still be able to use her new power within reason. What Nightcrawler had suggested was doable, and it would make sense so that she could still speak without just causing a catastrophe like she had just done, even though it was on accident.
Her blue eyes moved from the sketch pad to Nightcrawler. Though she felt she wanted to do it herself since she was sure she could replicate it easily enough as she always had with the tattoos she drew up, there was a small seed of doubt that she might fudge it up since music scales and the technicalities were something that she never cared to focus on. She opened her mouth to say she would do it herself, but remembered her power wasn't fixed yet and shut her mouth, grinning sheepishly at Nightcrawler at catching herself before blowing off his ears.
Reaching for the sketch pad she waited for him to give it to her so she could write on it instead of speaking. When she had it again, she scribbled out 'It be naught more than just copyin' what be on the paper onto me ankle, aye?' and gave it back to him. Even before he gave her an answer, she figured that was what the case would be and considered letting him put on the new design.
She made a face as she made her final decision to let him do it. He seemed to care about her despite her weirdness and the fact she probably just badly hurt everyone that was outside. That, and he was willing to make sure it was done right, which was something that Kat strove for when doing her tattoos and giving herself new powers. She nodded in response to his question and spun around to sit down on her bed, tucking one foot under her leg as she laid her tattoo equipment gently on her bed. Extending her freshly tattooed ankle to rest on her pillow close to Nightcrawler, she made a grand gesture of waving her arm over her ankle as if to welcome him to make the additional design to her tattoo.
