Somehow
Eliza found herself in here first. She looked around at the mostly empty capsules and sighed softly, all those X-men... just gone. She look at the far side, seeing hers and everyone elses. Only so little of them agains the entire world... this was going to be hard. SHe walked over and took her uniform off the hangar and went into a cubical to change.
Waya entered a few moments before Rhydian. The same sense of emptyness hit her. Her parents uniforms hung in their capsules next to hers. She sighed and went to her capsule to change.
Rhydian walked in through Waya's shadow portal. He sighed as he saw the empty capsules. They were all full just a few days ago...The entire squad of X-men just suited up and then never came back. It suddenlly hit him that this could be the last time they ever suit up too. His eyes grew watery and before anyone could tell he was crying, he stepped into his capsule and began to change into his uniform.
The
8 strolled in and they all whistled in unison. They reverted back to the single person and Veronica walked over to her capsule. She slipped inside quickly and was curious whether or not the glass would actually change color like everyone said that it would. It sure would be a shame if anyone could watch her change into her uniform...
Eliza came out of her capsule blushing brightly. She was still not used to having such a tight uniform on but if she needed to use her powers she didn't want her clothes to shred. She shivered slightly, either look almost naked all the time or be naked most of the time...
Waya emerged from her capsule a few moments later dressed in her two piece suit marked wit a blue X across her chest, black leggings, blue and black boots with X's and a blue sash. She4 checked her sash in the mirror and waited for everyone else
Rhydian nervously stepped out of his capsule and his eyes wandered to Waya. He felt himself flush as he ran his eyes along her uniform. He wondered what she thought of his costume. He looked at it carefully. It did look rather good on him, with it's black breastplate over a white shirt and the black leggings really made him look dashing he thought.
Eliza blushed brighter, her blue hair matching with her uniform. These uniforms were meant to make them look heroic and attractive but noone really thought how embarresing they could be. "How do they make these again?" she said, staring down at the yellow X streached across her chest.
The twins entered with Antimony locked with their arms. "Eh....smells like rubber in here."
Kale came in aswell, having fully showered and combed his hair.
Eliza was bright red now, shifting around to try and cover every bit of her somehow. She didn't know what these tight costumes would do to the twins.
The twins smiled at all the women, "Looking lovely as ever, ladies."
Kale rolled his eyes and went into a capsule to change. He came out with a sleeveless black uniform on. There was a red belt around his waist with the 'X' symbol on it. His wrist-length gloves and knee-high boots matched.
"It's an elastic based kevlar designed to look and feel like leather."
Waya said "Frost used to put the order into Reed Richards with a hologram of the telepathic image she took from each of the students minds when they got here. She had a nsty habbit of snooping in people's heads to see what they wanted their unifroms to look like."
Veronica strolled out of her capsule wearing an all black uniform with a deep purple X emblazened across her chest. She strolled over to Kale and struck a pose. "Well? What do you think, dear Kale? You look rather cute in your uniform. What do you think of mine?"
"Thanks, you too."
Kale said plainly, stretching a little.
Antimony relinquished the twins of their escortee, sliding through a portal behind her own changing room, shutting the portal firmly behind her. She changed quickly, and stepped out, stretching in the material experimentally
. "God forbid I should ever gain weight," she joked, "I'd look like a beached whale in this thing with an ounce of weight."
Veronica pouted as she wasn't given a compliment from Kale. She shrugged him off and walked over to the Twins. "Boys? How does my uniform look?"
"As beautiful as the silver lining of the moon." the twins smiled and bowed to Veronica. They turned to Antimony and placed a hand on their chins, "You could never look anything but gorgeous in our eyes...."
Veronica looked at Antimony and stuck out her tongue. This girl was stealing the only boys who knew how to compliment a woman and she was far from normal looking!
Kale watched the display as he leaned against the lockers. He lifted his head up and chuckled a bit to himself.
Veronica sighed and just stalked away, leaning against the wall across from Kale. Her eyes settled on him again. Still he played hard to get. She hated that, but she couldn't help but want him more because of it.
Kale brought his head back down. It was then that he noticed Veronica. He had a smug grin on his face almost as if he knew what she was thinking. Out of view from the others, he stuck his tongue out at her.
Veronica's jaw dropped and she drew her mouth into a grin. She really did love the whole courting type of game that they had going on.
Kale saw her reaction and chuckled a bit more to himself, closing his eyes lightly. He shook his head a bit before opening his dark eyes again. Veronica was too pretty for her own good and she used it to her advantage.
Veronica pushed off the wall and walked over to Kale. "How come you don't like me?" She asked him, looking down at her feet as she did.
"I like you. We are friends, aren't we?" Kale asked her back, pretending to be oblivious.
Veronica pouted again and looked up at him, staring into those deep black eyes. "You know what I mean...."
"Chill babe." Kale said giving her the 'hang lose' sign with his Hawaiian accent. "No need to make dis a soap opera." he grinned.
Antimony giggled and shifted slightly, sticking out a long, purple checkerboard tongue back at Veronica teasingly. She closed her mouth and grinned at the twins. "Even when I get old and saggy and start to let myself go?" She challenged.
Eliza looked around and shook her head gently "People scary me" she muttered, tugging at her gloves and walking out to the hangar.
"We will be just as old and saggy." the twins came back, winking. "We will be there to staple you back together if you desire it."
"If we're ready I'd like to make this trip quick." Waya said in a dry tone "Survivorman is on tonight."
Rhydian smiled, he like dthat show. "If we make this quick, I'll bring the popcorn, Waya." He gave her a wink and headed to the hangar. "I'll start the preflight sequence while everyone makes their way to the jet."
Waya turned nd headed for the X-hangar
Junior was forced to sneek into the changing room because the person who plays his charcter forgot about him. Quickly he changed, grumbling about her under his breath. He emerged from his capsel and followed Waya. Wow, that didn't break the fourth wall at all.
Veronica grinned and grabbed Kale's hand. "Come on, surfer boy. Let's get to that jet."
Kale double blinked for a moment. Because of his tan skin, it was difficult to see him blush faintly. He didn't speak and led her into the Hangar.
The twins offered both their hand to Antimony. "Come lovely."
"Why, thank you, sirs," Antimony accepted their offer and daintily stepped away with them, a wide and gracious smile on her face.
Kale found a seat and strapped himself in firmly. He took a deep breath to calm himself, he really hated flying.
Waya was in and out in a flash. Having the ability to teleport she'd gotten used to just arriving inside her locker and suiting up quickly.
The twins walked in following Jeremy. They were babbling to one another like usual. The two went to their lockers to find their suits were untouched since they had ran away. They wondered....were the others expecting them to come back? Or...were they just lazy and didn't care?
Jeremy picked up his own suit and climbed into the "changing room" that was really too small for anyone, including him. He shut the door and stripped down, struggling into the suit; the material was slick and soft but he still caught nails in odd places.
The twins did the same and undressed, though they did it in the middle of the locker room. "Damn... forgot how tight these things were."
"Nothing compared to the proposing uniforms back on Aztrentos though."
"Definitely."
Finished they headed for the door then out to the garden. "You comin' man?" a twin called back.
"G-gimmie a second!" Jeremy called out to them, struggling slightly with the suit "Nails are getting caught."
"Don't make us come in there and help you." they threatened with sly grins. Jeremy would probably slash their throats for suggesting it.
"I'm almost done guys" Jeremy called out as his foot finally popped free of the material "There." Sighing slightly he stood up and opened the door, walking out towards the twins.
The twin's outfits had identical line work but were mirror on one another. "Let's hurry before they leave without us."
"They wouldn't do that to you guys" Jeremy pointed out, straightening his own suit; basically it was incredibly reinforced, almost to the point where fighting hand to hand in it would be impossible, you'd either be really slow or the other guy would tire out from hitting the pads so much.
Junior came threw the door. "I sent the word to the YA." He said as he stepped into his locker and emerged moments later. "Got the machine, they must be out doing something avengerey."
"Ummmm... ok" Jeremy said carefully "You seem kinda... reluctant to talk to them." He bit his lip, wondering if it were a sore subject.
"I left on not so friendly terms." Junior confessed adjusting his pants in the mirror "It was a thing with one of the girls, I thought we where a happy little couple, turns out she didn't like a guy with two dicks."
There was a long silence, then a slight "B-buh?" he said, the only thing on his mind right now. He coughed loudly and stroked his hair slowly "I... ummm... well... I mean... but why did that make you leave?"
Junior was trying to sculpt his best head of "hero hair" before their departure "Not much reason to stay around after you catch your girl getting a lube job from Iron Lad."
"I guess..." Jeremy muttered, rubbing the back of his head and staring at his feet, trying to work out why Junior wouldn't just stay behind if he wanted to work with the young avengers. Well he did seem to get a temper at times... maybe he just stormed out and didn't think about it.Still the word "two" flashed into his mind every now and then. Hmmmmm... Waya didn't know that much, at least from what he could remember of the picture burnt into his mind. "Oh, ummm... Junior, can I ask you a favour?"
"What?" Junior asked finally becoming satisfied with his hair.
"Lately... if my body starts to get up and wonder around looking lost while I use my powers or..." Jeremy squinted as if trying to calculate something tough "asleep even... Try and catch it ok?"
"That's it?" Junior asked, "No problem, especially if we are going to be in Magnetoland. Speaking of which we should get going before Waya has kittens."
Jeremy nodded slightly and turned to the door, walking upwards as a few words crawled across his mind Can she have kittens?
Stumble!
