Is anyone going to explain who the hell dropped in Xavier's Institute but forgot to bring along - what, literally any mutant?

( most people might start with a hello. julian just starts with a finger pointing back at the manor off behind him. )

Or, fine, anyone but Jean. ( because he's only half counting her as is. )

I'm Hellion. One of the best telekinetics to ever live, and a member of the X-Men. I don't fear death.

( hell, they've beaten death. if he dies here, he'll just get resurrected back home, and finally, finally have his hands back. death might even be a relief.

except he didn't call the guy here to lose, that'd just be stupid.

instead, he uncrosses his arms, throwing one out wide. it's not a direct attack, but an attack with telekinetic energy that's meant to throw that giant piece of metal up and back into the basketball hoop. )

Psyker. [That's NOT an Imperium approved curse word, either. But it sounds like it, the way Gadriel says it.

[He's withstood psychic attacks before. It didn't mean they didn't hit. He managed to dodge out of the worst of it, the forward wave of it hitting his legs as he dives to the side, tumbling him over.

[But not before he had thrown a combat knife at the very open target. ]

Telekinetic.

( a correction, not that it matters much. he looks unguarded, but julian keller rarely is. he's been hit from all angles before, and knows better than to leave himself open to physical attacks regardless of how far away his enemy is. the knife hits the barrier around him, and flings back somewhere behind him.

julian could crush him. it'd be easy. unfortunately, he generally prefers to keep to non-lethal methods of dealing with those he's fighting, and he's not out to actually maim the guy. not yet.

his eyes glow a soft green, but there's no physical movement from julian himself while the basketball hoop's pole bends and drops straight for where the guy's fallen. he's wearing armor, he can take it. )

[His armor can absolutely take a...basketball hoop pole. There are wounds you should worry about, and a pole that is a few inches taller than he is is not even worth a thought.

[So he doesn't waste his time thinking about it. Whatever it's made of, the ceramite of his armor is probably harder.]

Coward.

[vexant]

I told you to bring everything you have, didn't I? I'm just using what I have. Doesn't make me a coward.

( but he's up. still standing where he started at, and now - raising a hand, to gesture the man forward. )

Thought you wanted a fight.

[thecodexabides]

Despite what I said, I refuse to kill you.

Perforce, I cannot use everything I have. [He doesn't like you, but you don't deserve to be chainsworded in half. There's a *spectrum*.

[He strips his sword and bolter off, dropping them to the side. They are biocoded to him--it's not like anyone could use them against him.

He bolts toward the other man, just enough to get to his top speed (don't ask it's ridiculous) and then dodges hard to the side sliding on his knees. ]

[vexant]

( most people are limited to what they're capable of physically. julian? is only limited by how fast he can think. so he takes off the training wheels.

he turns around to where the other man is sliding towards him, hand raising out towards him and fingers flexing in as if he was - grabbing onto something. except it's not something he's latching onto, but someone: telekinetic energy tries to wrap around gadriel to squeeze around armor plates, pushing metal into what he's assuming is a human body inside of it. )

You won't kill me. So why don't you try a little harder? Make it more fun for the both of us.
