Norton just stared at the girl as she voiced out the warning in some mechanical tone like a cyborg. He pulled back his hand. His best guess was that it was some kind of an implanted defense mechanism that had been implanted in her. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was designed to take over her thought process while activated. He thought about it for a moment as she moved closer, eyes locked on him.
He had no idea what she was capable of but he could see she obviously had some kind of mutant powers. That she had been able to get away from Rogue was something that concerned him about her powers. He could try to scramble the electric signals or if they were being transmitted from an external source, block them. But he was afraid he might overdo it and harm her. But there was no time, he had to get to her.
Watching her closely for a reaction, he raised up both his hands and created a wave disturbance around her, enough to completely scramble any kind of signal being transmitted to her. His other hand, he used to concentrate a powerful wave disturbance that would affect the electrons in any kind of circuitry within her, and nothing else. He just hoped it wasn't strong enough to damage the hardware itself.
(( Hope thats clear... ))

*yeah, I got it ;D and Rouge isn't done yet, merely caught off-guard for now... I'm assuming Sat will have her up and at it here soon? * The abrupt interruption caused her to twist in pain, although it wasn't really registering at the time. Whatever was happening, it did so quickly, for she woke up soon, finding herself upon the ground once more. However, now she was very weak, unable to defend herself, even if she wanted to... She curled up into a fetal position, tears rolling down her face as the vines retracted, leaving only small holes on her back where they'd forced themselves through her skin. No blood, just holes plugged with a sticky liquid which soon hardened... Still, she could see the screens, and the tiny, circular receptacle that had been there before, but now she controlled them somehow... sitting up with some difficulty, she looked about her new world, not realizing or even caring that at least her left eye had returned to green as it had been before, though the other was still red... When she saw the man, she immediately clung to him, holding tightly around the legs... he was the first who'd found her, and she wasn't going with anyone else for now... She whined, unsure of what to do, so she clung ever tighter, her small breasts pushing against his shin as she laid her head sideways on his thigh... she was scared, and unafraid to show it, as she wanted dearly to get out of this dreadful place... she wanted fresh air, clean food, and sun... oh how she wanted that last item so badly for some weird reason... She'd never been outside her entire life, and had been steadily growing weaker... just once, she wanted to see sunlight.... "Outside" she said weakly, clinging a bit tighter as she did so, her vocabulary limited because of her years of never being taught a single real word... "Me want... outside..."

Jake heard Norton's warning and swore. There was no telling what abilities the chameleon-like Rogue would have. He drew his guns, walking sideways in a strafing motion so he could check the front and the rear simultaneously, his back pressed up against the wall so she couldn't sneak up on him from there (unless she's touched Shadowcat recently, he thought), and headed toward the others, whose voices he could still hear.
He rounded a corner, and there they were, the girl clinging to the man as if she were frightened out of her wits. Not a good place to lose your wits, he reflected as he approached slowly and as non-threateningly as possible. "I'm on your side," he told them as he made a visual check around the corner, the way he had come. He didn't see anything, but that didn't mean there wasn't anything... there were many mutants who could turn themselves invisible, and if Rogue had absorbed their powers he would never be able to see her coming.

((Sorry Sat, I will go ahead, hope you don't mind. Rogue has already shown characteristics of Nightcrawler in swytch's post ))
Looking as the girl crumbled to the ground in pain, he feared he had screwed up. This was the first time he had tried to manipulate an electrical system this sophisticated. He had only read a few days back on how it could be achieved theoritically.
As the veins retracted and she looked up at him, he saw the different colour of her eyes and realized he had screwed up the system. She whined, looking as unsure and afraid as before and clung to him again. He looked behind as the man from before came with his guns drawn. Norton was somewhat relieved to see he had some back-up. He spoke quickly, "Thanks for the help mate, Rogue's got Nightcrawler's power." When facing Rogue it always helped to know what powers you were dealing with.
He looked down and saw the girl's back of the shirt in tatters. He took off his jacket and put it around her and closed it. He pulled her up to a standing position moving her grip to around his waist instead. He had understood her but it was not gonna be easy to get out. Rogue was lurking somewhere in front of them with a truckload of soldiers and Gambit behind them. "We need to get outside, fast...", he said to the man. "I am Norton... you are?"

"Jake," he said, nodding in greeting. "Don't worry. I'm with Freedom's Children." The name of the militant mutant-rights activist group was well-known to pretty much every mutant, sponk or otherwise. They were considered among the most dangerous and heavily-wanted sponks in the world.
Jake tapped the earpiece he was wearing, sending a burst of static to request the assistance of the other members of his team. They observed comm silence unless it was absolutely necessary, so any transmission automatically meant trouble, and speaking wasn't always required.
(OOC: Don't worry about the other members of Jake's team, I'm not introducing five or six more permanent characters. Ill fates will befall most of them, leaving Jake to try and recruit your characters.)

"Now, suga. Did you have to go and find your friends," came that southern bell voice from the darkness,"We were haven't so much fun."
Rogue emerged walking, just looking over the knew people,"Freedom's Children are always on the top of my things to do," she said and smiled like a school girl.
"I don't think your going to be doing too much from here on out," came another voice in front of them, Dack.
"Gambit is a little indisposed at the moment, and you'll soon join him," he said, electricity shooting across his vision and body, he was a walking battery.
"I guess your the one who caused all this ruckus aroudn town," she said, looking at him as if he were a piece of meat. Dack knew then what this Rouge was like, she was addicted to the sensation of draining power from others. Not good, especially if she had absorbed Nightcrawler's powers...her own brother....
"Jake, you might want to get out of here witht the girl," he said, talking to the man who could teleport, he had his suspicions about her and this Freedom's Children. They had never been in the reports of the past, something had changed...

"Thats the problem with you punks..." A voice rang out from the shadows, followed by the sound of slow clapping. "Yer all too d**ned overconfident for yer own good." And as if out of nowhere, the amber tip of a cigarette appeared in a shadow nearby, followed then by the form of a man in a long overcoat.
By the looks of it, he wasn't wearing a shirt opting to show off a brilliant display of tattoos and a thick leather harness with weapons holsters over the artwork. As his booted footfalls come to an end, he removes the cigarette from between his lips. "S'far as I see it, you got two choices kid..."
He flicks the cigerette to the ground and stomps it out with his boot, drawing the deadmans hand from its holster and shouldering it. His left hand is risen into the air, index finget out. "One." He pauses a beat to punctuate his words, "You kindly walk out of here and leave me and my associate alone...or."
And his other finger is extended, as his smile widens, "Two." He pauses once again, simply to get some twisted point accross, "I perferate yer body with a combination of magnum, nine-millimeter, and fifty calibre rounds... and that is not even taking into account my other nefarious methods, or my allies."
Then he raises his handto push the sunglasses up on the bridge of his nose, his grin getting wider- revealing a row of pearly white teeth, the insizors being a bit bigger and sharper then all the others. "So punk... whats your choice?"
((Just decided to pose in. ^^ Feel free to tell me to delete my pose if you feel its not the right moment.))

'Animal traits...this one seems to have some abilites similar to Logan and Sabertooth,' Dack thought seeing the man's teeth. He didn't know what to make of him, but Rogue was his main priority. He had to get out of this tunnel before Cerebro localized on Rogue's powers being used....
(Alright, Jess. Did this guys come from the direction of Rogue or Dack.)

Jake paused only briefly when the new arrival appeared. He wasn't one of Jake's people, yet he seemed familiar somehow. Maybe a famous mutant? At any rate, he was pointing a very large gun at Rogue, and that was good enough for Jake. He grabbed the girl, told her in his most comforting voice, "It's okay, I'm a friend," then teleported away with her.
Running footsteps -- footsteps wearing distinctive-sounding commando boots -- greeted his ears. He pointed his weapon in the direction of the footsteps, and an imposing-looking black man with a shaved head protested, "Jesus Christ, point that thing somewhere else, Jumper!"
Jake lowered his weapon. "Hey, Marshmallow," he said, inclining his head in greeting.
"I f**king hate that codename," the black man said, leaning down to check the girl for injuries. "Fulcrum and Nightshade went down to help you out," he informed Jake. "They'll be pissed when you're not there and Rogue is."
"It couldn't be helped," Jake replied. "The girl here is in no condition to fight. I think she's been hurt somehow, but I couldn't find any injuries on her."
(OOC: As mentioned before, Marshmallow's not going to be an important character. His name comes from his ability to manipulate solid matter, which allows him to turn people's guns into marshmallows. He'll likely die or get captured within the next page or so, to give Jake a reason to hook up with the other characters on a more permanent basis... I won't be playing multiples on a long-term basis here.)

"Uh-oh," Dack said as he looked at the newcomer, was this guy insane. All the history records said that at this point in time that Rogue had the abilities of another named Ms. Marvel. Someone who could fly and was super strong and almost invulenerable.
"DOWN!" Dack screamed, no more playing aroud as his body glowed brightly and a flash erupted from him, going in all directions. The eruption was meant to knock anything living out cold, no matter how strong.....

At Dacks warning the new arrival bent-over backwards to allow the wave to pass him over- lookign oddly like Neo from the matrix as he does so... and once the Energy passes him over his standing sraight up once more. Deadmans Hand still held tightly in his grip, he calmly aims it at Rogue- that is if she is still standing...
((Shorty))

Standing, no. Rogue definitely wasn't standing, and neither were the walls. That energy wave Dack let loose was to get out of the tunnels and bury Rogue...hopefully. With the girl and the man gone, he hoped he hadn't hurt any one as the electricity cracked the walls and the roof of the tunnel and erupted into the air above, laving a whole in the ground and no sign of Rogue. Dack was barely standing now, his eyes glazed over.
"Well," he said,"That might have been a mistake," and collapsed upon the ground...
(Yo, had to get out of those tunnels. Too confusing. And Jake, I hope his friends a ready for a dash and grab. Time to run. )

(( I second that, too much confusion. Lets get out. ))
Norton was distracted by all the new, potential threats surrounding him now. He heard the warning but didn't have the space to move out of the way. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Rogue realize what was coming and disappear in a flash of black smoke. sh**, he thought to himself before hitting the wall and blacking out for a moment.
He woke up to find Dack lying on the floor mumbling something inaudible. He turned to see the roof and realized it was time to get out. The other man with them seemed to be fine. "We gotta get out of this trap, follow me. Can you get him along with you, he looks spent. I will clear the way...", he added quickly, nodding at Dack. The wall and the roof were cracked but it needed a final jolt to clear a way through. Besides, the rubble seemed to be about to fall on top of them. He raised his hands again and charged up the strongest shockwave he could muster. He let loose the two waves simultaneously, aiming them at the roof above. The roof exploded outwards, helped by the large cracks already in it. A large section broke free and fell down to make a kind of a ramp that would lead them up.
He hoped Jake had got out safely and some importantly, the girl wouldn't freak out again seeing as she didn't seem to take too well to strangers.

ith another poof, no black smoke involved, Bishop materialized in he shadows behind the pair. "Whoa whoa whoa... hold on there jack." He says simply, leveling the business end of that .44 on the two people who remained in the tunnel with him.
It was a fairly easy guess at what the man intended to do, and that was put a massive hole in /somebodies/ chest, didn't quite matter who it was at the moment, its just that typically when someone attacked him they either died, ran away, or were maimed horribly by a massive bullet.
"Now, I gotta know whats up with you before I can just let you leave... and don't think your fast enough to actually /hit/ me... not even Rogues that fast." A grin, "So who are you working for, why are you here, and for gods sake make it quick so we can all leave." And then his thumb reaches up to cock back the hammer.
