    The Lamborghini's tires slice through the rainy streets - a vehicle that won't be on the market for almost fifteen years. But the driver knows a guy.

    Inside the car, the driver sits clenching the wheel, her face is locked in concentration like a steel mask as she speeds across the bridge into Manhattan, desperate to make it to the address before she loses her mind entirely...

    ...Emma Frost had no idea what she was getting into when she agreed to chaperone these girls.

    The year is 1995, and anti-mutant riots are sweeping the nation. Fearing what might happen to you if your true nature is discovered, your parents have enrolled you in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, where you can learn to harness your amazing gifts, or at least be isolated from those who fear and hate you. A few weeks ago you were simply Aino Virta, a fifteen year old girl living with a secret burden known only to your immediate family: your mutant power - until recently quite uncontrollable - to slow the fabric of time itself.


    "Girls!" Ms. Frost snaps, gritting her teeth to maintain the last tenuous hold on her nerves. "I said you could listen to that ridiculous Ace of Base song *once*. ONCE. Then, in what is likely to be the largest mistake I have ever made, I allowed you to listen to it twice. If I have to hear about the sign one more time, I am going to lobotomize each and every one of you," she says, ejecting the CD from her car's system and giving it back to you.

    As you click it back into your case the tall skyscrapers flit by and slow as the car comes to a stop in front of a thirty-story apartment building. "Ooh, ritzy!" Clarissa says, pushing herself over you halfway into the Lamborghini's front seat to look out the window. "This is where your parents live, Sam?"

    "Huh?" Sam asks, distractedly. "Oh, yeah, um. They might be moving, so if you see some boxes and stuff, just ignore them." The doorman pulls the glass door open for you as the five of you walk into the lobby, tipping his hat to Ms. Frost as she follows you in.
    >> Professor X !Wz87.gYWh. 04/19/11(Tue)13:29 No.14646017
    "Oh, Samantha!" the woman shouts as she opens the door to the apartment. "My little angel!"

    "Mom, I- aaah!" Sam cries as her mother wraps her in a very unrefined bear hug in the middle of the hallway. "This- aah, OK, OK! This is Aino, and Clarissa and Megan. They go to school with me," she says as her mother releases her.

    "Hi, Mrs. Bihn," Megan and Clarissa say to Sam's mother before she looks at you and exclaims "And you're the girl from Finland!"

    "Moooom," Sam interrupts. "She's not from Finland, she was just born there. She's lived in America for like a million years."

    "Well, whatever. Come in, come in! You must be their teacher?" she asks Ms. Frost, who politely explains that she has not yet had the privilege of working with you or the other girls. "So what did you have planned for today?" Mrs. Bihn asks you. "I'm sorry it's such a mess in here." Indeed, as Sam predicted there are several boxes near the front of the apartment.

    Good question, mutie? What's on the agenda for your New Yawk trip?

    Kid is Noah, our best friend Sam seems to have a crush on him. We went to the Antarctic, collected some samples on a field trip, got ambushed by a Sentinel, our new friend Clarissa (whose power is talking to/controlling machines) reprogrammed it into Penguinel, but the teachers wouldn't let us keep it. We came home, had a rough time on Logan's obstacle course but won with Sam and humiliated what's-his-name the jackass. We helped Megan, girl with uncontrollable lightning powers, test a power-inhibiting bracelet, and now we're in Miss Frost's custom Lamborghini, racing towards New York City to spend the weekend at Sam's parents' house and see the sights.

    Sam's mother laughs at your performance and smiles (you can see where Sam gets her laugh from) before saying "Oh, I can see why she likes you. You know, I've never actually been to the Statue of Liberty, and I've lived here for thirty years! Sam saw it once when she went there for a class trip in - what was that honey, third grade?" she asks, oblivious to her daughter's embarrassment. "Anyway, you should go! And bring me back a postcard!"

    "Mom, you don't need a pos-" Sam starts before Clarissa interrupts her with "Ooh! Can we go to Four Freedoms while we're here?" Pleeeeeeeeeeese?" she begs Ms. Frost. Sam giggles and mouths 'Johnny Storm' to you.

    Ms. Frost sighs. "Fine."

    The chorus of girls' excited voices trails into the hallway as Mrs. Bihn waves to your backs. "I'll have supper ready when you get back!"

    So, which first, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, or seeing what's up at Four Freedoms?

    I slipped away the CD and slipped it back into my pants pocket. "No need to threaten, lady, anyway, I doubt that Professor would be happy with you if you took out the front portion of my brain, I don't think anyone would be, but who am I kidding? When did you GIVE a shit?" I sarcastically reply, looking jaded in her direction.

    As Ms. Frost pulls to a stop outside Four Freedoms, you take a moment to look up at the impressive structure - one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, with the number 4 protruding out of the roof at an angle it is definitely a remarkable building!

    "Neat!" Clarissa says, snapping a picture with her camera.

    As you walk up to the glass-doored entrance a mail carrier leaving the building holds the door open for you. "Hello, ladies," he smiles. "Beautiful day out, isn't it?"

    "I'm huuungry," Clarissa says as you walk in. "Ooh, what's Windows on the World?" she asks when you suggest it.

    Inside is a spacious lobby done up in blue and silver chrome, with cutting-edge furniture and a friendly-looking receptionist behind the large curved welcome desk. "Hello, welcome to Four Freedoms Tower," she says. "Do you have an appointment?"

    "Public tours begin every fifteen minutes by the east entrance. Dr. Richards may be available for questions at the end of the tour depending on his schedule," the receptionist says courteously.

    "What about Johnny- I mean, um, Mr. Storm?" Clarissa asks.

    "I'm sorry, but Mr. Storm is not in the building right now," the receptionist answers. "The east entrance is to your left, by the windows. Is there anything else I can do for you today?"

    Clarissa looks dejected, and it's fairly obvious that she isn't looking forward to walking around a hundred floors of science stuff if there's no Johnny at the end. "Cheer up, dear," Ms. Frost says. "You'll feel better after lunch."

    A few minutes later a sleek-looking robot the size of a human torso floats toward you at eye level and asks in a pleasantly human voice "Are you ready for the tour?"

    "Ohmygosh," Clarissa exclaims in an excited whisper when you point out the subterfuge she can easily commit. "Um, robot?"

    And with that the tour begins! It's not as tiring as you had expected, since much of it is along automated platforms that whisk you along past demonstrations of theoretical concepts, possible machines to come, and all manner of things that could only be termed 'super-science'!

    While in public Sam obviously keeps her feet on the ground, even though the main vocation of the Fantastic Four is well-known, and as the platform you are on slows to a crawl you pass a large glass-walled room in which a man in a labcoat and a blue suit somehow similar to the one you wear under your street clothes puts down the hood of a machine and removes his goggles before waving and welcoming you to Four Freedoms!

    As your robot guide dispenses ice-cold water Dr. Richards asks "Any questions?"

    Ask for Mister Fantastic's number and/or email address so we can contact him later with experiment ideas. (who knows, we might be able to swing an internship out of this in a few years). After that, back to Sam's mom's place for dinner, since Clarissa is hungry.

    Maybe. Or it could be a low-level kinetic energy projection, like a weak form of telekinesis pushing her upwards. All she'd need to do is re-angle it and she could be a major telekinetic. Or it could be mass-manipulation, altering her body's mass/density subconsciously. We don't know yet.

    "Interesting - brainwave activity indicates a level of localized telekinetic control," Dr. Richards says, holding a scanner in front of him as Sam demonstrates by hovering in front of him upside down, clearly happy to be the center of attention here.

    "I'm unfamiliar with this design," he remarks as he examines Megan's inhibitor bracelet, but I can see its function readily enough. You say Professor Xavier provided it to you? Interesting..."

    "I think I have something more rugged than that bracelet," Dr. Richards says as he types in a command to a nearby keypad. From the ceiling a wide silver cylinder descends and slides open, revealing a human-shaped light inside. "This is a UMF fabricator, similar to the one used to create your own UMF suits. However, this one has several improvements to the design. I believe it may be possible to dampen your powers, young lady," he says to Megan.

    "Oh, I'm fine, really," Megan says, shrinking back a few inches. "We can just go."

    Wat do?

    OK, she seems to not like being the center of attention, or being studied. Also, i don't think she likes being in suits. Possibly claustrophobic? Downplay it and thank Mister Richards very much for his time.

    >>14646725
    It's entirely Science/SCIENCE related. We nee to start keeping a journal of experiments we've done and observations about our time powers and share it with him. Like I said, this could be a big career booster once we've finished school. Just because we're a mutant doesn't mean we won't have to get a job, but a letter of recommendation from Mister Fantastic could get us into any college or tech corporation on the planet, except maybe Latveria State.

    I think she is afraid of having to put in on in public, in what is essentially a lab-on-tour.

    Confide to her that she'll just be scanned, the clothing comes in private.

    Alternately, she might not want her powers dampened too much. . . If her parents were hurt by her powers, then they may be her only link to her past, painful as that may be.

    "It's just-" Megan starts, blushing. "I just don't want to be a bother-"

    "Is that all?" Sam asks loudly, prompting Ms. Frost to interject to ask her to lower her voice. "Yeah, good idea," she says to you. "Ms. Frost, can everybody else clear out?"

    "Of course, dear. Come, Clarissa, let's give them some space," Ms. Frost says, leading Clarissa out of the room.

    "See?" Sam asks Megan as the other students exit. Dr. Richards follows them out after typing another command in. "Just step in when you're ready - the fabricator can alter the structure of your own UMF suit once it begins," he says, leaving you and Sam alone with Megan.

    As she steps up into the cylinder and stands in place, the tube hisses shut...

    You and Sam give Megan thumbs-up signs from the other side of the glass, before the lights brighten to the point where she becomes a silhouette, then begins to glow as tiny motes of light descend from the inner walls of the cylinder to sink through her clothes and attach themselves to her UMF suit!

    When it is all over the cylinder remains closed for a moment, and you can see Megan doing something inside it. An instant later the seal pops with a quiet hiss and the tube splits open again, revealing Megan holding her deactivated bracelet in one hand!

    "Oh, wow," she says, slowly shaking her wrist and walking around. "I'm free!"

    Following a team hug (something Megan has been severely lacking in for a while) you take a group vote for where to eat, with four votes for Windows on the World. "All right girls, time to go. Thank you for the lovely tour, Dr. Richards," Ms. Frost says, smiling at him. "It was nice to see you again."

    "Ms. Frost. Girls," he says, nodding to you. "Enjoy your stay in New York!" he calls out as you leave the lab and follow your robotic escort to the elevators.

    A forty-minute ride later (with a brief pause as Ms. Frost explained to the enraptured valet exactly what to do with her car) you walk up the street toward the World Trade Center! Clarissa takes some more pictures of it as you walk across the open space to the North Tower and enter the building. At the very top is Windows on the World, an exclusive restaurant recently renovated to offer an even better view of Manhattan from the top of the tower!

    "Excuse me madam, I'm afraid I can't allow you to be seated wearing those clothes," the maitre d says to your group, before Ms. Frost catches his eye. "What- Oh." he says vacantly. "Of course, right this way please."

    He escorts you all to a table, and though you are the only ones not wearing at least semiformal attire no one seems to notice at all!

    "I'm *pretty* sure you can find a stuffed animal and a toy spaceship for forty-seven bucks," Sam says around a mouthful of linguine. Even around here. Sorry, Ms. Frost," she says as your chaperone asks her not to speak with her mouth full.

    "Ya know, there's lots of stuff we could do today still. Saturdays always have lots of stuff going on."

    You tuck your money back into your pocket and take another sip of water when you catch a dark shape out of the corner of your eye flying outside the window! It was definitely larger than a bird, but whatever it is vanished upward out of sight...

    "It's nothing dear, just a trifling display of my power," Ms. Frost says, sipping her water. "I simply took control of his mind and convinced him that we were dressed for the occasion. The same reason your friend Samantha's -ahem- *Misfits* t-shirt is passing unnoticed." Ms. Frost gestures to the people at another table. "You could start a food fight and they wouldn't n-"

    Her explanation is interrupted by a thump coming from the roof. As she looks up she takes another sip and says "I think we should be leaving now, girls."

    Suddenly, a figure crashes through the window and rolls across the floor, causing everyone to shout and scramble to their feet! As he gets up you see he has a mask and a dark green suit of hard padded material, as well as some kind of small jet on his back!

    "OK, nobody move!" he shouts, as another man in identical attire swoops in behind him!

    "All right, hostages!"

    "That's it, ladies, we're leaving," Ms. Frost says as she stands up. The two suited men don't even seem to notice her!

They need some kind of punishment for interrupting our meal and conversation, don't they? And who knows, we may get a free jetpack out of the deal.

    In other words, we need to be subtle and very quick. Just because we can stop time doesn't mean time isn't of the essence.

    What are they using? Guns? Walk over there, engage the manual safeties on their weapons. At most, take the guns, eject the mag, rack the slides to release the chambered round. Pocket the bullets, replace the magazines and let time resume.

    "Shut up!" Clarissa says, giving you a nervous punch in the arm. "Um, Mr. Storm?" she asks timidly, taking out the picture of him she got from Four Freedoms. "Could you, um, sign this? Again, I mean? I mean you already signed it once but I thought it would be cool if you signed it when I was around so we could all see it and-"

    "Sure kid," Johnny says. "What're your names?" He signs the picture above his other signature, writing it out with no apparent regard for the oddity of the situation. "Nice meeting you all," he says as you leave with Ms. Frost. As you reach the edge of your field's limit the scene behind you springs back to a clamor, as you hear Johnny yell "Flame on!"

    "Ohmygosh that was the most amazing thing ever!" Clarissa gushes as you ride the elevator back down.

    "Yes," Ms. Frost agrees. "It's a shame he won't remember you."

    Clarissa looks at her in confusion for a moment before she realizes what Ms. Frost means.

    As the elevator passes by the fortieth floor the people in the lobby hear a girl scream "Nooooooooooooo!"

    Two hours and thirty-five dollars later you emerge from the toy store with a bright red bag containing a plush penguin for yourself and a 2000-piece model of the USS Enterprise in a bottle for Dr. McCoy.

    "Well girls?" Ms. Frost asks. "What now?"

    "That may sound reasonable to you, Aino," Ms. Frost says quietly as the two of you speak in the kitchen while everyone else is in the living room. "And a year ago I would have agreed with you. But the climate is different now, and exposing yourself as a mutant is liable to cause problems that you won't be able to stop."

    "You girls can sleep out here - we've got two air mattresses and plenty of blankets," Mrs. Bihn says as you walk back out to the other girls engaged in a superpowered pillow fight. "Ms. Frost, you can have the guest bedroom."

    "So is your dad still at work or what?" Clarissa asks Sam, and you notice that Sam - for once - has no response.

    Well Freddy, believe it or not the idea was first floated around back in issue #4! Sam had just received a letter from her parents - it was in her pocket during the scene where Aino got her spirits back up, but was never brought to light.

    Not exactly, O Eminent Enquirer. As near as we can tell, Aino's power acts to slow down anything inside its 100-foot radius to a standstill. Within that bubble of control is the "eye of the storm" as it were - an area where time flows normally. To someone outside the eye Aino might appear to be moving extremely fast (possibly too fast to notice). However, from a distance of more than one hundred feet she can still be seen. She also seems to be able to use the difference between those speeds to her advantage, though the specifics of that elude even us!

    As for famous ancestors, we cannot confirm or deny that Elvis is her dad!
