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.

Thought it was time for them to meet ^^

[Her ankle throbs, sprained from her fall, but the pain is nothing compared to the fear that comes from not being able to move properly. Her breath is coming out in agonized pants as she tries to stand up only to sink down to the ground again with a groan.

The voice startles her and she flinches, her powers flaring and giving her a couple of seconds to move away from the possible threat. It doesn't get her very far. She stares at him, eyes wide. She doesn't trust him, and he frightens her, but she can't run away with her ankle like this and so she has no choice other than to take a leap of faith.

She opens her mouth to speak but closes it again, there's no point in even trying, not now, and manages a shaky but clear nod instead.]

Is there any other way to meet? I think not.

[There is something like a strange stitch in time, during which the girl has gone from one position to another, further away from him. Teleporter? No, a teleporter would have gotten out of here, and he's also aware that she's not the only thing that moved like that. So she must have stopped him somehow, and he's not comfortable with that thought, but... well, it's not her fault. He'll just have to be careful.

Crouching down carefully next to her, he reaches out slowly and puts his hand over hers. It's just a sprained ankle - well, a sprained ankle and a vague mass of horrible feelings, like an ache he can't place. But he can't do anything about the latter, so he simply heals what he can, barely grimacing. Something like that takes no time at all.]

You're fine now. You need to-

[And then he hears the whirr of a canon locking behind him, and has no time to think before leaning ofer her and taking the hit squarely between his shoulder blades. He manages to brace against the impact enough to not collapse over her, but he finds himself stunned, his breath knocked out of him, not eager to move as he can feel his spine righting itself and knitting back together.]
