The trembling ground in camp was no real surprise to John as he stood at the sink of the bathroom, face covered in shaving foam as he dragged the blade carefully across his cheek. It was generally accepted that the Mexican was a pain in the ass and could usually be found to be the source of these rumbles, often as a result of some practical joke or ( Read more... )

Tabitha rushed to the rings, taking the early hour of the morning and using it to her advantage; the gym was open and on one was up early enough to be using it. Which gave Tabitha the perfect excuse to flip back and forth around the room like a monkey and not be pressured into an actual work out routine.

Fred Dukes had decided to turn in early one evening. The rest of the team was still awake, passing time elsewhere, and Fred took the opportunity to get some rest. He had not expected two things to occur ( Read more... )

By the time Rogue's feet touched ground, she was close to collapsing. She'd taken the quickest route, straight across America, over the North Pacific ocean and into Asia. It'd been the more logical at the time, instead of having the option to stop over Europe and take longer, she'd just pushed herself to keep going ( Read more... )

So I was thinkin' about how now that we're someplace warmer, there's more critters to look out for, so I did some net searching and boy, did I ever regret it.

Esme had changed since John and Emma left. It probably started with John completely forgetting who she was, or maybe it started when she arrived on the team in general. Whatever the case, the formerly perky and vocal sonokinetic had become quiet and quite reserved. She didn't speak unless she had to and she'd been keeping to herself ( Read more... )

At long last, the flight from Russia was finally over, and not a minute too soon. The team's plane touched down at Kadena Air Base at 1600 hours local time, and from there a small convey of jeeps were waiting to transport the squad to their new location, an installation attached to the US Military Base of Camp Courtney. The weather here was a far ( Read more... )

Finally, the team's time in Russia was coming to an end. They'd lingered here for longer than Stryker had intended, but he had at least obtained some of the samples he'd required, as well as having managed to carry out some important research in the process. The Major wasn't sorry to say goodbye to the base, though. The mutants weren't the only ( Read more... )

Now that they were finally leaving Russia, Martini found he was almost reluctant to leave the snow. Sure, it left him leaving uncomfortably cold and wet, and he did have to wear far too many layers over his gorgeous body, but he had come to enjoy the icy terrain. The isolation provided by the frozen tundra was something he would be sure to miss.

( He stood beneath one of the many pine trees, ghosts of the past that only he could see flickering over the snowy ground. )

With a change of location will come a change in which Team X as a whole is organised. You will be split into a smaller number of teams with accommodation allocated per team, one set of rooms per team. Mingling will be permitted, within reason, but remember that any behaviour which is contrary to protocol will reflect badly upon your team as a ( Read more... )
