No way, Josay. Why not narrow it down to nobody having a partner? Being every man for himself.

Piotr brow furrowed at the explanation behind her chosen mutant name; she could bring out some of the worst humanity had to offer by mere thought? What kind of awful power was that? Surely she felt that it was a curse... something not to be proud of. No wonder the young woman was slow to make conversation. Had she grow accustomed to stirring up some of the more distasteful emotions within people? Did her mutation make it hard for her to find people to confide in? Were it not for the prison's security measures, would he himself be angry at her for no apparent reason? The farmer's son was glad there wasn't an opportunity to find out.

“What power comes with the name Colossus?”

He ran a hand over the stubble that capped his head as he thought about his own powers... how they had first manifested and proved to be so much of a blessing that it had made Piotr actually question God's existence. He had been able to build fences in a matter of hours that would have taken three men days to do, and on over the next two years, he had been able to save the community tractors much wear by single-handedly pulling the commercial-sized plows over the acres of farmland. There was no negative impact... until neighboring farms caught wind of the mutant freak performing the work of twenty men. Once attention began to spread, the Professor showed up, offering refuge, training, and a solid education... an offer a poor boy like Pete couldn't begin to refuse.

“Eh... it was given me by the man who took me in, nearly two years after my powers manifested. I confess... I did not like it for a long time. It sounds arrogant, but I kept it to honor the man who treated me as a son, and have since grown to love it. The Professor named me Colossus because my ability to change my form into that of metal. It gives me the strength of many men and has allowed me to bear the brunt of explosions and gunfire. I am grateful for the ability to step in front of danger to protect the ones I love. It is how my abilities first manifested themselves. It feels strange to not be able to use them, yes?”

He hesitated before finally deciding to probe further, “Did you find yourself using your abilities often in the Brotherhood? Do you consider them a gift, or do you – like many others – think them a curse?”

Tina sat in silence as the Russian spoke. There was a good meaning behind his name, his codename. She gave a small nod in agreement to his statement about it being strange not to use their powers. But then he asked if she used her powers much while she was in the Brotherhood. And if she found them to be a curse or a gift. The hazel eyed girl took a moment to reflect on his questions, and took in a small breath of air before she spoke.

“I use my powers when necessary. I have a few times while being with the Brotherhood. When I wasn't, I used my powers more often, to survive. It might not have been for the best reason that others would think.” Tina reflected on his second question for a moment.

“As for my powers being a curse or gift... If I didn't have my powers my parents would still be alive. But if I didn't have them, there would be no way for me to survive. I'm not exactly top dog out in the world. It goes both ways for me. A blessing and curse.” Perhaps that wasn't much of an answer, or a cliché of an answer, but it was partly how she felt. The other part being that she'd rather have her powers than for them to be nulled away by the humans technology.

I assume that would be more chaotic than it already is. Take the hit so we can move on? or someone post so we can move on?

Before I get an admin involved to wrap things up?

Chill, dude, we're waiting on Speedball. After he and Blink get their acts together, we can continue what we're doing?

If I could continue without him, I would... I haven't seen him online much lately. But the way things are, it's kinda impossible. Speedball is my ammunition. :blink:

Yeah, thats the issue. I say for the time being we assume he isnt going to be posting any time soon, and go as far aw we can, which would leave Kitty, Cessy, Myself,and Cannonball. Run that down until Speedball returns or the only ones left are whoever and Blink. And then decide from there.

Well for the sake of moving this along, I vote and I know Sam would be more then willing, because it saves his butt.

Since Sam is flying in the air heading towards Blink and Speed… Sam goes in takes out Speedball taking him out of the thread… then from there the 3 girls can continue their pursuit of Sam.. With Blink running around as the wild card

Piotr frowned at her mention of her powers being the reason her parents were dead. How many mutants had lost loved ones because their abilities manifested at the wrong moment or due to a lack of understanding of how they worked. It was something Colossus had a specific burden for... not because his own manifestation was tragic, but because it had saved a life. Perhaps that was the reason he'd never considered his own mutation much of a burden. He hadn't accidentally shifted into his armored form and crushed someone. He had saved his little sister from a wayward tractor.

“Had we met five years ago, I would have not seen your ability as anything other than a curse, svyet, but I have learned to look beyond the obvious. You see yourself as someone who can anger people, but I do not believe that is all you are capable of. Perhaps you could use it to inspire people... give them a fire to live and love and create for everyone. Perhaps you mistake passion for anger, yes?”

He wasn't demanding anything of her, only suggesting that her abilities might be able to be used in more peaceful ways. He hoped that she didn't take offense to the suggestion.

He shrugged, “I do not mean to offend. It is something to think about, yes?”
