Am I In The Right Place? (Open)

[Alana Stewart]

(ooc: January 10th. Afternoon.)

Alana walked to the place. She'd heard word of the Rebellion and wanted to help. She just hoped she wasn't wandering into some random stranger's house. She didn't need more trouble.

"Hello?" asked Alana.

Alana saw a man follow her and she nodded.

"You could say that." said Alana.

She smiled as Ororo and Piotr found her as she hugged them.

"Ororo? Piotr? I hoped you'd be here. I thought I was the only survivor for so long." said Alana.

She shook her head.

"No. I was alone." said Alana.

Alana smiled as Ben joined them as Jack said he wanted to join the Rebellion.

"I'm Alana Stewart. I'm here to join the rebellion as well." said Alana.

XXXX

Jack walked in following the girl he'd spotted on his way. He wasn't sure if this was the right place. If it wasn't he didn't like her wandering in here alone. He wasn't sure if they were looking for the same place but he would try to protect her if he could. When he heard her say hello he walked closer to her.

"Hello. Are you looking for someone too?" asked Jack.

He is quiet seeing the reunion and smiled. He smiled as Ben introduced himself.

"I'm Jack Quinn. I'm here to join the Rebellion." said Jack.

XXXX

Ororo was taking with Piotr when the sensors detected someone arriving. 

"We've got potential recruits. Let's go." said Ororo.

She ran out with Pitor following her. She spotted the pair and smiled seeing Alana rushing over to her.

"Alana! It's good to see you again!" said Ororo.

She nodded as Ben arrived and introductions were made.

"I'm Ororo Munroe. Alana is an old friend. We used to teach at the school and Piotr was one of our students." said Ororo.

XXXX

Piotr had followed Ororo and grinned spotting Alana. Once Ororo was done he'd hugged his teacher.

"Professor Stewart. You're alive!" said Piotr.

He smiled glad to see another familiar face.

"Was Professor Xavior and any of the others with you?" asked Piotr.

He smiled as Ben arrived and then listened as introductions were made.

"Welcome, Jack. I'm Piotr Rasputin." said Piotr.

XXXX

Ben walked out getting an alert of new arrivals and spotted the pair.

"Hello. I'm Ben Grim. Who are you two?" asked Ben.

He nodded as Alana and Jack introduced themselves.

"Then. Welcome to the army. You came to the right place." said Ben.

[Destiny Lichon]

Patrick kept snapping his fingers to a beat and whistling. He heard commotion coming outside and, like the social butterfly he was, went out in a instant. He started to say "Welcome to the club! I'm Patrick and---Oh my god" Patrick then saw Jack and Patrick hadn't felt like this since he was a teenager. Patrick was open about his sexuality so he wasn't ashamed in the fact he was staring at a man. He was ashamed of the fact this person was so beautiful. His eyes soon turned to a beautiful, lustful pink. Patrick's grin widened and offered his hand in a smooth, glided manner, his shocked amazement turning into the primary charismatic side he usually had. Patrick winked "And who are you, beautiful?"
XXXXX

Destiny ran as fast as she could. After hearing rumors from a bunch of friends that Jason was taken to Loki's area, Destiny was desperate for any help. Sure, going to the king might've worked better, but Loki was the enemy. He was a tyrant. Killing thousands. Injuring millions. Destroying most places. No way was she going to risk her neck over working for a person who destroyed her world. But her brother was there and he was in danger, and dangerous, and Loki could take advantage of it. Destiny panted and panted as she showed up "Oh. Hi. Is--" She coughed, saving her breath "Is this the rebellion?" She looked to Ben with desperate eyes, not taking into account of his appearance "I'm Destiny. Destiny Lichon. I want to work with you guys"
XXXXX

"What's on with the commotion?" Calvin appeared swiftly and saw a bunch of people again. He gave a pleased face and waved "Hi! I'm calvin! You here for the rebellion?"

[Jack Quinn]

Alana grinned glad to be reunited with Ororo and Piotr.

"I'm glad you guys are ok." said Alana.

She then saw the two guys off to the side meet and she chuckled.

"The guy sure works fast." said Alana.

Alana raised an eyebrow at Piotr's confession and nodded.

"You're right. We can't stop you. Just be careful." said Alana.

She then smiled at Calvin.

"Hello. I'm Alana. I used to teach at the school with Ororo. Piotr was one of my students. I came here to join the Rebellion." said Alana.

XXXX

Piotr chuckled.

"Well he's not the only one who's interested in romance." said Piotr.

He blushed realizing he said that out loud.

"I'm dating an older woman Darcy here. Don't try to split us up. The school is gone. I respect you just like I do Ororo but I'm nearly 18. And I wouldn't even listen to my parents if they were here trying to keep us apart." said Piotr.

Piotr relaxed glad Alana wasn't going to try to interfere or break him and Darcy up.

XXXX

Ororo is silent as Piotr's outburst but understands how he feels.

"Don't worry. You deserve to be happy. We all do. We'll have to adapt and change while we rebuild the world. But first we need to stop Loki and his allies." said Ororo.

She had also been amused at how fast and forward Patrick had been with the new arrival but the guy seemed just as smitten.

XXXX

Jack saw Patrick come in and the guy looked very strong and very handsome. Suddenly the guy's eyes had turned pink and were so mesmerizing that Jack found himself staring. But then Patrick winked at him and spoke calling him beautiful. Jack blushed never being called that before.

"I'm Jack. Well you're the first person to call me beautiful. How do you get your eyes to turn color like that? Pink is definitely your color." said Jack.

He grinned at him already feeling at ease with the guy even though he just knew him.

"So what's your name handsome? Or should I just keep calling you handsome?" asked Jack, grinning teasing him slightly.

Jack then heard Ben's taunt and blushed as he'd almost forgotten they weren't alone.

"Perhaps we should hang out alone later." said Jack.

XXXX

Ben chuckled seeing two of the guys teasing and flirting with each other. That looked like to be another couple in the making. He then turned to face Destiny and smiled.

"Yeah. This is the Rebellion. I guess word has spread faster than we thought. Welcome." said Ben.

He then turned to Patrick and the new guy.

"Should we leave you two alone? Or you going to get a room?" asked Ben.

He smirked at Jack's response. The guy had seemed to have forgotten anyone else was in there.

[Destiny Lichon]

The conversation between Ororo and her friends were WAY off Patrick's radar. All he saw, heard and breathed at the moment was Jack. He then realized that the man liked the color of his eyes. He beamed at the praise but more for the fact Jack was praising him then the praise itself. He replied "Oh well it's a small power. My eyes change based on my mood. And right now, I'm feeling lucky to be talking to the most beautiful person here" He then grinned flirtatiously as the man replied back his name and asked for his in a flirtatious tone. It seemed to thankfully be working. Patrick repeated softly "Jack. Jack. That's a great name for a great guy" He chuckled and smirked at Jack's flirting before replying "Patrick Wallen. But you can call me anything you like"

He then finally noticed the others thanks to Ben and it seemed to embarrass jack a little. Not wanting to make him feel this way, Patrick pacified himself a little "Sure, there's always time to make a dinner date, that is if you're up for making one" He winked again, grinning widely
XXXX

Destiny rolled her eyes a little at the display. It was honestly childish in her opinion. She then beamed as Ben confirmed that this was the place she was looking for. She then turned to Ben, seeing as he was the only one to give her information "Great! Now is my brother here? Jason? He's tall, has reddish blond hair, looks shy most of the time. I've been looking everywhere for him" Not only everywhere, but for the past few years. Jason was on Destiny's mind right now. She NEEDED to know if he was safe.
XXXX

Calvin, meanwhile, was trying to make a new friend of his own. Alana introduced herself and he shook her hand "Nice to meet you! Welcome to the club! Make yourselves comfy! There's some stuff to eat if you're hungry" He beckoned the new gang in quickly and with a big grin.

[Jack Quinn]

Jack grinned.

"A very cool power." said Jack.

He blushed again at the compliment.

Jack smiled.

"Thank you." said Jack.

He grinned.

"Patrick. A very cool name." said Jack.

Jack grinned as Patrick spoke.

"GREAT!" said Jack.

He blushed again.

"I mean great. I'd love to make a date with you." said Jack.

Jack saw the food and drinks as he turned to Piotr.

"How about we eat together now?" asked Jack, grinning at Patrick.

XXXX

Ben smiled glad he could help but then frowned and shook his head.

"Sorry miss no Jason here. But if he's close by we can help you find him." said Ben.

He follows the group grabbing some food after seeing Piotr and Ororo bring some.

XXXX

Alana smiled at Calvin.

"Thank you Calvin." said Alvin.

"I might be a bit hungry. There left overs? or I could just make a sandwich." said Alana.

She smiled glancing at Ororo and Piotr.

"And the three of us can catch up a bit later." said Alana.

She smiled as Piotr and Ororo brought in food and drinks as she nibbled on some cheese squares before making herself a turkey and cheese sandwich.

"Thanks you guys." said Alana.

XXXX

Piotr and Ororo nodded.

"I could get some food. Hang on." said Piotr.

He slipped into the kitchen grabbing some fruits, snacks and sandwich supplies returning to the room setting them on the table.

"If anyone wants something here it is." said Piotr.

XXXX

Ororo followed Piotr getting some water bottles from the fridge setting them next to the drinks.

"Dig in everyone." said Ororo.

(ooc: playing flirty yet nervous jack is so hilarious. xd)

[Patrick Wallen(Maniac)]

Patrick was pleased his flirting was working perfectly. He really wanted Jack to be amused or at least interested. Jack luckily seemed to be both. Patrick gave a big smile and laughed a little as Jack got extremely excited for a date. He then turned to see Piotr and Ororo bring forth food. He then smirked "Speaking of food" He then nodded to what Jack said and beckoned him to the food table. He got them water bottles and two seats, while grabbing a ham sandwich and patted the chair next to him "Tell me more about yourself, Jack. I'm curious"
XXX

Destiny was disappointed the minute Ben told her Jason was nowhere to be found. She nodded in understanding but was evidently less hopeful. She lost her appetite completely, now more worried for her brother than she already was. She turned to the food table and shook her head "I appreciate the hospitality but I'm not hungry. Thank you" She then went to sit down by herself and proceeded to grab her notebook and wrote down furiously on it.
XXX

Calvin was a little shocked Destiny immediately went to sit away but paid more attention to Alana and the others. Calvin replied "Well it's all here gang! Dig in like Ororo said" He then proceeded to grab a cheese and ham sandwich with a bag of chips and replied jokingly "Hello you two. You both are welcome to the party in my stomach" And proceeded to eat the sandwich first.

[Jack Quinn]

Jack grinned walking to him as he took a seat next to him. Hearing the question his smile fell and he looked down sadly.

"My story's not a very interesting one. I spent most of my a prisoner of an instiute. The man I thought was my father was just a scientist who used me for experiments. My real parents died in an accident at the lab and they were also scientists. I spent years trying to get out but kept getting caught. I finally broke out causing the place to blow up along with my captor about 5 years ago. I stole some of my captor's money to make a life for myself. I came back here recently thinking I would be safe but then the world pretty much came to an end." said Jack.

He sighed.

"But I still had five wonderful years and I know my parents would have been glad I finally escaped." said Jack.

He took a few bites of food and grinned.

"The experiments kind of gave me powers. I have visions of the past and future, empaty, and telekinesis." said Jack.

He paused looking up at Patrick pleading at him with his eyes before speaking again.

"Please just don't think I'm a monster. I really like you. I don't want you to be afraid of me or hate me." said Jack.

He then looked at the ground afraid of Patrick's reaction as he resumed eating. He'd nearly forgotten they weren't alone when people started chiming in and he was blushing but touched at the kindness and respect.

"Thank you." said Jack.

He blushed again at Ben's words that he couldn't get rid of Patrick and he hoped Ben was right.

XXXX

Ben, Piotr, and Ororo all were soon eating trying to get to know their new comrades.

Piotr hadn't meant to eavesdrop when he heard Jack's story he felt like his heart was breaking. No one should have to go through that.

"I assure you Jack you're no more a monster than the rest of us. We're made of of aliens, mutants, super heroes, humans, and more. You are welcome here." said Piotr.

XXXX

Ben nodded.

"Exactly. Besides I don't think you could get rid of Patrick if you wanted too. He's practically joined at your hip." said Ben.

XXXX

Ororo smiled.

"If you need teachers to help strengthen and control your powers let us know. I used to be a teacher at a school for mutants and can help you whenever you wish." said Ororo.

XXXX

Alana chuckled amused at Calvin's antics.

"Never heard of a stomach party. Sounds painful." said Alana.

When she heard Jack's story she felt bad for him. And when the others spoke she nodded.

"I just got here but I agree with them. The only monster I see is Loki. He started all this mess and nearly destroyed this world. And people like the creep who kept you locked away." said Alana.

[Destiny Lichon]

Patrick's jokey attitude changed to a more serious one as Jack told his story. Born from scientists who were killed in a lab accident, he was captured and forced as a lab rat until he escaped five years ago thanks to a lab accident that killed his captor. Jack also confessed to having superpowers of visions of the past and future, empathy telepathy and telekinesis. Jack's shame caused Patrick's heart to melt in sympathy and care. Patrick's hand held Jack's tightly and he replied sweetly "Hey, how can I think of someone as sweet as you as a monster? Just because you have powers does not make you a monster. If anything you're a survivor, baby" He nodded to the others then turned to Ben "Hardy har har. With a face like jack's you'd be attached to the hip too"

He then turned to Jack and pulled Jack's face to his own, revealing the eyes to be a sincere ocean blue "Listen, Jack, a monster is someone who does things that are evil and shit. Not you. You don't seem to be monsterous to me" He then sighed and replied "And besides, you are a thousand times more interesting then me" He then replied "I'm from new jersey and am in a band. I'm the recording drummer and singer. I got radioactive ooze that caused me to become now become a half-demon. I now am a human that can turn into a demon whenever I wish. Only problem is turning back, still have that to figure out. The eye thing is nothing compared to that" Patrick chuckled sadly "Now that is boring"
XXXX

Destiny listened to Jack's story and felt pity for him instantly. Like jack she also was imprisoned and experimented on. Only thing was he was experimented on since childhood. At least she had a decent childhood, jack didn't seem to have gotten that chance. He did have parents that loved him but only for a short time. Destiny felt immense empathy. She replied softly and sincerely "Listen to me very carefully, you are not a monster. If anything that bastard that kept you is. He's burning in hell for what he did" She then turned to Alana and nodded angrily "We'll make all those bastards pay for what they did to our world. Who the hell does loki think he is? He'll pay for this. I'm already thinking of ways of punishing him. Number 28 is my favorite: Public egging, where the whole population humilates him by throwing eggs"
XXXXX

Calvin nodded at everyone's response to Jack's story "What everyone else said. Dude, you're totally badass. Seeing into the future is way better than shapeshifting into animals. I wish we can trade powers sometimes. You're like totally awesome" He then turned to hear Patrick's story and rolled his eyes "Christ if you guys think those stories are boring then superman is the worst story of all time" He then replied "You guys are amazing and I'm just a lame hasbeen!"

[Jack Quinn]

Jack paused at his words and Patrick hugged him. Jack returned the hug leaning against him as he wiped tears from his eyes.

"Thank you." whispered Jack.

He then smiled at everyone else's words and encouragment.

"Thank you everyone." said Jack.

He raised an eyebrow as Calvin said his powers were better than shapeshifting.

"Are you kidding? Turning into animals that's incredible. I'm kind of jealous. I've seen plenty of animals in my travels. Being able to turn into them would be great." said Jack.

He paused as Patrick pulled his face closer as he could look directly in his eyes and he grinned. He listened to Patrick and grinned.

"So you're basically a teenage mutant ninja turtle?" joked Jack.

He chuckled.

"That's awesome. And I'm sure you'll figure out how to switch back." said Jack.

He grinned.

"I disagree. Your eyes changing colors is kinda of cool. There's nothing boring about you." said Jack.

Forgetting they were alone and swept up in the moment he leaned forward and kissed Patrick on the lips.

Hearing Ben's comments he let go blushing.

"I almost forgot we weren't alone." said Jack.

XXXX

Ben chuckled.

"Sorry but I already have a girlfriend. But if even if I was interested he's clearly already taken." said Ben.

Ben whistled with a grin as Jack started kissing Patrick.

"Get a room!" said Ben.

When Piotr shoved him and rebuked him he smiled.

"Alright I will. I'm sure they'll be disgustingly adorable." said Ben.

XXXX

Piotr gentely shoved Ben.

"Lay off them. They make a cute couple." said Piotr.

XXXX

Ororo watched amused.

"Ah young love. Nice to see some good came out of this madness." said Ororo.

XXXX

Alana chuckled.

"We should make it tomatoes or something else. Make something that'd sting or smell." said Alana.

[Destiny Lichon]

Destiny was similar to ben with the romance between jack and patrick but she kept her mouth shut overall. That being said she couldn't help but nod that some positivity came into light from all this chaos. She then turned to alana again and smirked "Oooh that's even better. Tomatoes have more acid, that way it'll hurt more. I like that actually" She then came closer to her and replied "Maybe we just throw all types of food in general. Tomatoes, eggs you name it"
XXXX

Calvin blushed a bit as Jack praised his powers and admitted "Yeah I mean I like it but I'm just saying predicting the future sounds cooler. But glad you like it man" Calvin then smiled softly as Jack and patrick kissed. He replied at jack's statement about being embarrassed "Hey don't mind me I'm cool with it" Calvin then turned to ben and chuckled a bit at the disgustingly adorable comment, finding agreement with it
XXXX

Patrick smirked amusedly at ben before turning to Jack and listening to his joke. He couldn't help but laugh replying "Basically yeah" He then nodded about transforming back "Oh I usually turn back but not at my pace, it's more the demon's pace. We're working on a agreement" He said it somewhat jokingly but also seriously because it was somewhat true. The demon was overall controlled but the demon did rebel every once in a while, one of the ways was to stay as long as he preferred when he was released by patrick. Suddenly he was kissed by jack, patrick couldn't resist either and kissed back only to hear ben's comment. He did feel some embarrassment mostly for jack's sake "Alright but if I catch you with your girl I'm gonna call it out on you too, man" Patrick said with a joking smile, feeling lighthearted again. He held jack close and whispered "We can kiss more for another time if you'd like"

[Jack Quinn]

Jack grinned at Calvin.

"Think maybe you could show me sometime? I mean could you turn into any animal? Or just ones you've seen? I mean it'd be great if you could turn into animals like dinosaurs or dragons or things like that. Or is it just real animals?" asked Jack.

Jack nodded.

"I see. I wonder if I'll get to meet him sometime. Maybe get to at least be friends with him. I mean if I'm dating you I want to be on the demon's good side." said Jack.

XXXX

Ben sighed.

"Getting a little too sweet for me. Maybe I just need to go get some lemonade or something." said Ben.

He nodded.

"Jack's right. Turning into animals is pretty cool. Did you give yourself a super hero name like Animal Man or something?" asked Ben.
]
He froze at Patrick's words and sighed.

"I wish you could. I don't even know if she's alive right now." said Ben.

XXXX

Piotr and Ororo both chuckled at the antics around them. It was definitely not a boring day today.

"Don't worry Ben. We'll find her." said Piotr.

"Yes. Don't give up hope." said Ororo.

[Patrick Wallen(Maniac)]

Destiny shut down a bit as ben exclaimed that he was unsure his girlfriend was alive. Nervousness overtook her. Maybe this was all pointless and her brother was dead too. She shook her head, no he was still alive. He better have been. She was not going to rest until she saw him in person. If he was dead, she would want proof of it before accepting it.
XXXX

Calvin turned to ben and jack as both expressed interest and praise. He turned to jack first and replied "Well to answer all your questions. I can definitely show you soon. I can only turn into current animals, so dinosaurs are kind of out. Elephants though is a definite yes. As for fantasy animals I've tried a lot of times and it hasn't worked for me yet but I'm still trying cause I wanna be a dragon so bad" Calvin tried dinosaurs too but it seemed the only animals that worked were ones of current century and of at least reality instead of fiction. But he was not gonna give up trying to be a dragon. No way. He then turned to ben and replied "Should have a cool name but animal man is too obvious in my opinion..... Maybe... maybe forest might work though"

He then gave a sad look as ben expressed worry over his girlfriend "Yeah man don't give up. She's around here somewhere she's gotta be"
XXXXX

Patrick frowned sympathetically to ben and replied "Don't sweat it man. You'll find your girl. Promise you. If there's anything I know is that giving up is never a good idea" He then grinned to jack, pulling him closer, replying flirtatiously "Oooh I definitely think my demon side will like you for sure. He usually likes who I like anyway" He then replied assuringly to jack, not wanting him to get nervous "Don't worry it should be fine, honest"

[Jack Quinn]

Jack grinned as Calvin spoke.

"Well, I'm sure you could find a way. Do you need to see an animal to turn into it? Cause with other realms out there that could actually be dinosaurs or dragons out there on another planet or realm somewhere. Maybe we'll find them one day." said Jack.

XXXX

Ben nodded.

"Forest sounds more like you'd be a plant hero. But if you like the name go for it." said Ben.

He sighed.

"I want to believe that. And that Johnny, Sue, and Reed are too. They've got powers but Alicia's blind. With those riots out there she could get hurt and not know where to go. I just wish I knew she was alright." said Ben.

Ben smiled as everyone keep trying to cheer him up even a little.

"Thanks, you guys. It's easier not being alone. And you're right. We're all kind of in the same boat." said Ben.

XXXX

Piotr and Ororo nodded.

"We have people we 're missing still out there Ben. Do not give up hope. Students, friends, family and more. We won't give up until we find them all. Or avenge them if we have lost them." said Ororo.

Piotr nodded.

"Yes. Loki has a lot to answer for. And he will pay for what he has done." said Piotr.
