A Sinister Legacy [PART 2] [OPEN]

[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: Students and faculty of the Institute, plus some unfortunate SHIELD agents caught in the crossfire
WHAT: Sinster did something, ah... sinister... to Martha, and now the school security systems are attacking anyone and everyone that might interfere with his um... sinister... plans.
WHERE: The Institute
WHEN: STILL ON THE 25TH. TRUST US.
WARNING(S): Violence hooooo

As a reminder, there are THREE ways to be involved with this event:

1. Help the SHIELD agents on the front lawn survive against the school security systems! This will be combat heavy and will involve NPC assists from Nick Fury

2. Help protect other students, and those who can't fight, get to safe places! Not every section of the school is as automated as others and there are places that Sinister's infection of the security systems hasn't reached. This can be combat heavy or not at all, and will involve NPC assists from Storm

3. HELLIONS your girl No Girl needs help. Also the Professor and Logan. Your job is to head to the sublevels and break in to the most heavily secured area of the school and stop whatever is causing things to go haywire, and possibly stop Sinister himself from whatever he has planned. As usual, you will be assisted by Emma.

Option 2, OTA - from lawn toward safe zones

[comparative_insanity]

[Fai has by accumulated quite a lot of ill feelings toward automated security systems and any kind of AI he comes across as an X-man in general. It's not personal, as it were; it's just that those things don't actually have emotions as a rule, and therefore his powers are about as useful as throwing pillows at a fortress.

Still, he is a fully trained X-man. That is to say, he's not going to be of any use fighting the security systems outright, but his knowledge of the manor and training can still count for a lot. He can make sure people are safe - and if he can find Feliks in the middle of this melee, make that very safe.]

Everyone not fighting, to me! [At least he can use his powers to make himself incredibly noticeable to anyone looking his way, and also rather extremely hard to disobey.] We're heading somewhere safe, okay?

[niepokonany]

[The first sign that Feliks is nearby is when the little canisters that pop out of a hidden spot in the ground near Fai explode... into shimmery, purple and teal glitter.]

[The second is a weight as Fai's clothes shift into bulletproof tactical gear, and the third is a hug.]

Wow, that was totally close! Like, need a hand out here, handsome?

[comparative_insanity]

[Fai, having gotten himself smartly in between the canisters and two younger students, for what good it will do, is... well, covered in glitter. He smiles, completely unsurprised, when he feels Feliks' arms around him.

He's used to trusting that Feliks has his back, after all.]

Way too close. [He shifts a bit, righting the gear added to his uniform.] Would you care to lend me a hand? I know a shortcut closeby.

[Already waving at the kids to follow them, because really, what are husbands for?]

[niepokonany]

[Feliks smiles, dusting the glitter off of Fai like he's straightening his necktie for him or something.]

Oh, you know your way around here, huh? I guess that might be kind of useful... Plus, somebody's gotta keep you safe, right?

[He grabs Fai's hand in one hand and a kid's in the other, and drags them both towards the shortcut most likely to be the one Fai's talking about.]

[the_saner_one]

[Giving that Yuui is already very attuned to noticing Fai wherever they are, though not at as inclined to doing what he says, at least not any more, having him use his powers so strongly nearby makes it difficult to notice anything else for a moment. But the job at hand, and especially the two students he's been hurrying to safety, is enough to make sure he doesn't get too distracted.]

I have a couple more for you here. They're a bit shaken up but other than that fine. How are things on your end? [He doesn't ask if Fai's okay, but the question is there anyway.]
