Sunny Day (open)

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain was out and about on beautiful sunny day. The weather was in the upper seventies. Rain had her hair pulled back in a long ponytail. She was wearing a light blue t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. She had a pair of sunglasses to protect her eyes from the bright sun. Her sandals made almost no sound as she walked around the water front. The stores were open and plenty had of business.

Rain was looking for a present for one of the children at the mansion. Rain knew the child liked swimming and other water activities so she was walking along the beach front looking for something to buy the child. So far she nothing seemed to be the right gift for Rain to buy. Many would give her a nod in passing. Others called out in greeting and Rain returned them politely.

Rain found a nice bench and sat for a moment staring out into the Bay. Her hearing could hear conversations of the people around her. Rain was trying to not hear the conversation of those around her.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

Ezio was riding around on his motorcycle from the institute, he needed some fresh air from being in on spot for too long. He felt the wind between his hair and his face. He decided to ride along San Diego beach to feel the nice salty air. He was driving for a little bit when he decided to stop and get a beer at one of the bars. He hoped off his bike and ordered one in the open bar on the beach. He sipped it and handed the man in the bar the money. After getting his beer he went and leaned up against his bike getting out his cigar. As he lit it up he took a huge buff and blew out, he then started to look out into the ocean.

As he kept on drinking his beer and smoking his cigar he caught and off waif of someone familiar. "Rain?" he said to himself, he then drank the last of his beer and put the cigar in his mouth; starting up the bike he rode off. He kept on riding as he looked to the side and saw her sitting down on a bench by herself. "Hey lonely girl care for a ride?" he asked as he stopped in front of her smiling.

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain turned when she heard a familiar motorcycle over the crowd. Rain smiled when she heard Ezio ask if she wanted a ride. Rain chuckled and looked at him. "You know I prefer to fly," Rain pointed out. "Besides I do not have a helmet. Unless you have an extra one I think I will have to decline," Rain told him.

"Have a seat it is a beautiful day to enjoy. Feeling couped up at the Institute?" Rain asked him. She knew the feeling of being shut in and needing to get out. She just hid it better then others. Some like Ezio knew there was times that she had times she had to get out and be free of human confines and let the feline loose.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

Ezio chuckled a bit to her comments about her like to fly better and she didn't have an extra helmet. He then heard her say for him to sit down and enjoy the day along with asking if he was feeling coped up in the institute. " Yeah you know never really like staying there for to long, like to stretch my legs" he told her sitting down next to her. He put out his cigar and put it away back into his jacket. He knew she didn't like it when he smoked so he just did her the favor from telling him. He looked up a bit and smiled feeling the sun on his face and the sea breeze in his hair.

"So what you doing out here, the same as me, giving the ol' legs a stretch?" he asked. He lowered his head looking towards her, smiling a bit at her.

[Rain T'Challa]

"Indeed, I think it has part due to more feral part of your mutation. It gives you a yearning for open spaces and the wilderness," she pointed out. She could truly relate,for as long as she could remember Rain never liked stay inside for long periods. No matter where she was she always was more untested in what was happening outside then what was inside.

"Yes, I thought stretching my legs would do me some good. Along with trying to find a gift for one of the students. The Institute luckily has enough grounds that most of the time I can stay there to satisfy my feline side for space but, sometimes I need to roam," Rain told him.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

" Yeah, suppose you're right, guess I just like the open space, the air the sometime peace and quite without fights breaking out, pretty nice" he told her. He happened to like being alone at times..well most of the time; the only person he would except to that was Rain. She understood his feeling of wanting to be alone at times, and she would respect that even though he didn't mind her presence. He simply wondered his time away from the school and how much it actually had changed, along with Rain very little subtle changes but they were there. One thing that hadn't change however was her scent that remained the same through out her life. It was a sweet honeydew type smell, was the only way he could describe it in any way.

"Ah that's nice of you huh women of steal?" he told her chuckling a bit. "I understand you don't have to explain Rain, you know me I can't really be kept in one place for to long, not use to it all ways gotta keep moving some how" he continued smiling. He looked up to the sky, his hair blowing lightly in the air.

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain chuckled when Ezio pointed out he liked the peace and quiet open spaces and everything. "I agree, I just have a different way to find it. Even in this day the sky is still quiet and peaceful, for anyone who can and likes flying," Rain told him.

Rain chuckled at his woman of steal. "You know that's Supergirl and her families nickname. I am more like the Princess of the Storm and Cats," Rain said laughing. It was an old joke because she was a princess and her powers. "You are one of the few who get it my need for open spaces. Most people try to suffocate me inside it seems. Even some of the teachers and Wakanda staff. Luckily my mom has always got it and my dad did as well," Rain told Ezio.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

He listened to her explanation about how the sky was quiet and peaceful for anyone who like to fly and can do it. He chuckled at that last part, she knew very well he didn't like it even just plan taking a boat if he could. He then listened to her say how the women of steal was Supergirl and her families nickname, along with her was more like the princess of the storm and cats. "I could see that rain your very adapted to those things" he said as he chuckled.

He then heard her say how he was one of the few to understand her wanting to be in wide open spaces, along with her parents. "Well after years of getting to know you, of course I would know. That an you and me mainly like to be outside doing something, not inside shuffling around looking at television and all" he told her with a smile. He then looked around to the people simply walking around just having there conversations.

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain laughed when Ezio pointed out she very adapted to somethings. "I rather adapt and move forward then find myself in the past and forgotten. I have heard stories that mom was in some ways more liked by some then Scott because she was not as stiff and uptight as a leader," Rain told Ezio.

"Indeed, I have been trying to encourage some of the younger students to be outside and exercise more. It does not always work but, some do think they can out run a cheetah and they do try. Only ones with super speed have succeed so far. But, it gets a lot of them outside and off couches," Rain told him. "Also they liked to try sneaking up on me and catch me aware," Rain stated with a chuckle. Rain and Ezio had a history of seeing who was better at sneaking up on each other trying to catch the other unaware.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

" That's true, and I'm very happy about that you keep on moving and that's a great thing. We're the same always wanting to move forward, and keep racing to the finish no matter how hard it is. And in the end we all ways do, but then begin another point to try and get to" he said smirking at her. Ezio had always been like that, reaching for the goal that he set out not matter how tough it was. And his main goal at the moment was to try and find what happen to his dad if that was even possible.

"Don't worry, I'll do that for you I can motivate them enough to race around the school. A cheetah huh? funny though but it is a good effective way it seems." he told as he looked forward. "Sneaking up on you, I remember when we use to do that. Those was the good days eh Rain" he said laughing.

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain nodded when Ezio spoke about that he was happy she kept moving forward. She smiled when he pointed they were the same and keep moving toward the finish line. "'Learn from the past, strive for the future' my dad told me that many times. I already seen the reasoning behind his words," Rain told Ezio.

Rain laughed softly when Ezio stated he could motivate the kids to exercise. "I am sure that you can. The only way to find out how funny it really is to see it for yourself," Rain told him. "They did not have to be the old days," Rain told him with a sly smile. She moved to the edge of her seat looking over at Ezio, waiting for him to get the hint. Her ears morphed to cat ears and moved to the top of of her head. Her feline side sometimes would come out and make her more likely to challenge people.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

Ezio Chuckled a bit at Rains quote from her dad, he wished he actually got advice from his dad. All he ever heard from people was that he would be proud and the like of him. Always telling him things that his dad would have said to him if he was here. But that never truly helped, he's only seen pictures and heard rumors to what he could do. Along with experiencing what he could do seeing as Ezio could practically do the same. His mother told him a lot of his father too, but only when he was young, he always had felt his mother was hiding something about his father to him. He only partially knew what it was, it was a way to find him.

But after the little thought he heard Rain talk about the students at the academy how it would be funny to see how he would do it. But before he could say anything he heard her continue with they never had to be. He then took notice to her feline ears along with he stance on the bench. She was ready for a race and so was he, he leaned a bit on the edge of the seat. "So where to, so I know how I beat you this time" he said smirking a bit.

[Kenshiro Kasumi Jr.]

Was a hot day, almost too hot. Reminded Ken of his days in Osaka, he was only a kid but he remembers those days fondly, training with mom and dad. He remembered how much of a strict guy his father was, if only he could see him now. They had personalities that were miles apart. Ken's carefree and somewhat nihilistic attitude were a stark contrast from the grim and determined namesake of his father. He couldn't help but think his father would regret passing down the mantle of 'Fist of the North Star' to his offspring. However, there's something to be said about the young man, he was true to those who were good at heart themselves. Ken often helped the needy and fought for the weak, as was his way. He as simply a bit more crass than usual.

Kenshiro sat down on a nearby bench, seeing two people chatting and thinking nothing of it. Ken was a distinct looking fellow, clad in just a pair of denim jeans, motorcycle boots, a thick looking punk styled belt, white hand wraps and his ever present motorcycle goggles on his forehead. He caught a few stares, many of which were due to his seven scars in the shape of the big dipper on his chest, it as almost fate which gave him the same scars as his father. He soon caught a glimpse of something across the street from him, a man seemingly robbing a woman's purse in broad daylight. That made him sick, the fact people actually harm others just for a few bucks. The woman was struggling against the hooded perp as he tried to wrestle it from her hands

"Hey, buddy. I'm no cut rate superhero but I'd like to think I know right from wrong. Hand her back her shit and everything is golden, cool?" Ken bargained with the man, hoping he'd make the right decision, with a flick of the wrist the man pulled a boxcutter knife out from his hoodie.
'I'd leave if I were you...' The perp barked to Ken as he moved him closer, the glint of the knife in Kenshiro's eyes as he knew he had to act fast. With a lightning quick roundhouse he kicked the hand holding the knife, automatically shattering every bone. Oh god, he did it again. Ken rarely realized he had to be careful with how much force he put into his attacks. The perp's hand started to grow and distort, ending with an visceral explosion of his wrist. He was living, it was non fatal. But he'd lost his hand in the fight, tough break for a mugger I guess. With a somewhat embarassed look on his face he watched the mugger flee while screaming, likelyhood is he'd run straight to the hospital. Kenshiro brushed off the purse, and handed it back to the very frightened woman, eyes wide in fear as she just saw a man's arm exploded. A small crowd had gathered to see the spectacle. "Sorry lady, this should cover the dry cleaning for that. Go to Giovanni's on 5th. I come to them with that problem all the time." Ken said stuffing a $50 into the woman's purse and walking away, the small crowd dispersing as he shot a glare in their direction, returning to his bench and lighting a cigarette.

[Rain T'Challa]

Rain smiled when Ezio asked where they would race to. Rain looked around trying to figure out where to race to when she heard a sound over the crowd that made her freeze. It was the sound of bones breaking. "Trouble," Rain growled before taking off to where the sound came from. Ezio would she knew would be able to catch the sound.

Rain reached the area just as the mugger was fleeing. "What happen here?" Rain demanded. Her voice held authority and command in it. Ezio could tell it was the one she used to keep the team in line and when she needed to be authoritative back home with the council. It was not one that she used often.

[Ezio 'Wolverine' Logan]

Ezio waited for Rain to tell him where they should race off to when he heard a certain sound. A sound that he was all to familiar with, the sound of bone breaking. His ear perked up a bit as he looked around and noticed Rain had ran to see what was going on. He stood up shaking his head a bit. "Dammit, and the day was looking bright today" he said standing up. He started to run after Rain to make sure she was not going to get hurt.

As he arrived he noticed a man running away clutching his hand a bit, he sniffed smelling a distinct smell. Blood. Walking up to Rain he heard her authority voice that she mainly used back with the team. Though he didn't like authority figure types, he respected Rain as such she deserved the respect. She put a lot of effort for the New-X and gave a lot for it. He waited to see the outcome of all this, for he didn't want to get involved but if Rain was going to be in danger he wanted to make sure he could get her out.
