Cero | M: Ankoku Cero checked the time before seeing Ankoku come down, an apologetic smile on his face, "Sorry, sensei. I overslept. I'm ready!" Cero's mouth twitched into a slight smile as he saw Ko clutch his katana's. The kid was quite skilled in them but he had only shown that skill on the dummy and himself. Today was a test day, to see what they would have to work on. Cero tossed Ankoku his dagger before saying, "I'm going to be testing you. You get three minutes to use your katanas before you must drop them and use the daggers. If three more minutes pass, you can pick up your katanas again. Use your powers wisely." Cero dragged his own katana around Ankoku in a large circle. The circle was a good 15 feet in diameter all the way around.
He stopped as he got back to his starting point before sheathing his katana. "By now, you are used to my attacks and how I operate. You will have to fight several different opponents sometime or another so we are starting now." Cero said before turning his head towards the house. "Shi!" He called at the two women heading inside. They had just finished and had been heading inside for, no doubt lunch, when he had called. The Ice Queen said something to Sky before walking towards them. Cero turned back to Ankoku as the woman reached his side. He didn't dare try to read her mind. He had already tried that in the weeks they had been here and not only was he not able to read or communicate in her mind, the action itself brought shivers up his spine.
However, despite all of that, Shi was the perfect training partner at the moment. Sky was too mentally unstable, Flame was inside with her daughter, several were in the kitcen, and a few others were trying to start and get out of fights. He could feel Night and Shadow getting close though, so he might ask them next. Ankoku had yet to meet them so it would be an experience. "You will start with Shi, while I speak with a more efficient training partner to guide you. Shi, only one power at the moment. Let him get the feel of your powers. Rules are simple. Stay inside the circle and force your opponent out without hurting them." Cero said as he started moving to intercept Night and Shadow who would be passing the barn at any moment. "Begin," he said quietly, in his normal training voice, calm and collected.

Ava || Mentions: Lucille As the boy fled, and the woman throwing kicks, making Ava stumble back, catching her breath. Only to have her head ache terribly so, causing her to stumble farther back, hissing through her teeth. She gripped her head with one hand, using the other to stabalize herself from doubling over. "Clever," she chuckled, and after a few moments with enduring the pains in her head, Ava grabbed Lucille's arm, pulling her towards her, twisting her around as the womans back was pressed against Ava, "You're stronger than you look." Wrapping her other hand around her throat, her hands began to burn with heat. Scanning the room quickly, Ava tightened her grip on the womans wrist and throat, moving her towards the window. With a heavy push, she shoved Lucille through the window, glass shards shooting back at her, slicing the surface of her arms and cheeks. She huffed, wiping her cheeks, and jumped through the window, following Lucille. "Do you really think sending your son away is going to get his 'father' is going to help your situation? I saw him, he looked tuckered out, he can't defend you in such a state. Even if he wasn't, depending on a man? Pathetic." Ah, this word was becoming one of her favorite words to use.

Lucille I M: Ava
Lucille's breath was caught up in her lungs as she was slammed through the window and landed hard on the ground. Gosh, why was this happening to her? She stared at the woman though, listening to her talk about why she had asked for Nakao to come help her. But she misunderstood, this wasn't that at all. "Well you got everything wrong bitch. I didn't send my son to go get Nakao to come to my aid, I sent him so he wouldn't be in danger when I kicked your ass." Lucile spat, standing up and showing her limp. Maybe this woman needed a little more pain, ya, she did. Lucille cracked her neck, pulling a shard of glass out of her arm that was large and had sliced a good part of her arm. She flung it away and stared at the woman, black eyes turning an eerie purple as she looked straight into the other woman's eyes and used her same physic torture ability. This time it was much more painful, no going easy on her now. She took a limpy step toward the woman, eyes still glowing.

Dia I M: Jackson, Aztec and Zaphara
Dia was too sad to stay with her daddy, who was also very sad. She didn't want her dad to be sad anymore. She picked up her brother and walked out of the room, wondering what to do. Then she thought of it, Zaphara. Zaphara could make her dad happy maybe, they were a couple once like her mommy and daddy were. She still wanted her mommy back, she was sad without Glory, Aztec was even sadder, sad like her dad. She walked around the mansion until she saw Zaphara, then she quickly went over to her, eyes studying her real mom. She didn't really love her, she had felt abandoned by her when she was left with Glory, but then Glory hadn't ever left her so she had changed her to her mom and Zaphara to just her real mom. "Zaphara?" Dia started to ask, eyes starting to tear up. "I'm sad... daddy's so sad... it's making me sad. I want you to make daddy not sad anymore..." Dia asked her, looking up at her. Aztec wasn't looking at her, but it was obvious he was crying too. "Daddy's too sad to take care of us... I want him to not be sad... I want mommy back..." The tears started to flow after that and she reached towards Zaphara to hug her and hide her face and her tears against her.

Jericho: Mentions: Goddess "Okay. Well, congratulations on the baby." He looked away, his mind forcing him back to Ero possibly being pregnant. She said that she didn't want a child out of fear that she would not be a suitable mother for the baby, but we slept with each other regardless of that fact... twice! Am I even ready to be a father and husband? He looked around for a brief moment in silence and he closed his eyes, guilt flooding him yet again and he began to rub his face, trying to hide the emotion from Goddess.

Goddess I M: Jericho
Goddess looked down at her stomach when he congratulated her. The baby did deserve that, it deserved a good mom and a good dad all together. But, she wasn't a good mother, and Ropper wasn't there to be a good dad. She lifted her eyes up when she noticed Jericho seem to freak out over something. If she had to guess, it was about his girlfriend. "Ate you okay? Are you freaking out about your girlfriend? Im sure everything will be okay..." she mumbled, seeming to be slightly nervous around being pregnant. "Is she... is she pregnant?" Goddess suddenly asked. The idea popped into her head as he seemed to possibly panic as he mentioned congratulations to her for her baby. Even if she wasn't, what did it hurt to ask?

Jericho: Mentions: Goddess "I... I'll be honest, I don't know. We... slept together on the night that Ibex took her, so it could be possible." His cheeks burned red once again and he had to look away. "I'm scared to death if she is. Ibex was able to give us these otherworldly powers, so it might be entirely possible for them to speed up the pregnancy... she said that she didn't want a child because of how badly her mother treated her and she's worried that she'll be the same, but yet we..." He covered his face with his hands. "I don't know what to do now. I'm scared that if she finds out she might harm herself... or worse."

Goddess I M: Jericho
Goddess felt bad for the man in front of her. He was so worried about his girlfriend, he took so much care for her despite them just seeming to meet. Although if she was pregnant, that could lead to many problems like he said. "Well... there's no garuntee that she is. Plus, if she was pregnant, Ibex would take better care of her and she'd have a better chance of survival. Just focus on getting to her, she needs you and you need her, regardless of if there's a baby or not." Goddess said, hoping to help him. She scooted over even slightly closer to him, feeling safe. "I'm sure if she loves you, and she finds out she's pregnant, she'll love the baby too." Goddess murmured, knowing that when Ripper had left her in the beginning and she had found out she was pregnant, she loved the baby even when he didn't love her.

Jericho: Mentions: Goddess Jericho listened to what Goddess said, and even though Ero was still in Ibex, he knew that there was some truth in her words. Ibex did have incredible technology, and since a second generation mutant might be even more powerful than the parents, so they had every reason to keep her and the baby alive, provided that she was pregnant to begin with. "I... guess you're right. But I still feel incredibly bad for not being able to keep her away from Ibex and now I can't imagine how she's doing. She must be scared to death."

Goddess I M: Jericho and Blade
Goddess nodded, eyes softening towards Jericho. She couldn't imagine how scared Ero must be, or what pain Jericho must feel at not being able to save her from Ibex. She sighed, trying to think. Yet, her thoughts were interupted by a familiar, yet terrifying face. Blade. He was staring at them, eyes burning dangerously. Goddess imediately got as close to Jericho as she could and cowered against him, starting to shake slightly. The woman had avoided her child from after the attack when Dakota and the others had been taken. He was the one to carry her out of the mansion and into a car, but she was still terrified of him from hurting her many times before. Blade I M: Jericho and Goddess
Blade stared from Jericho to Goddess and back again. What the hell was she doing with him, close to him. Too close. In Blade's mind, that meant something completely different than expected. Jericho was trying to take his mom away from him, it was all his fault she'd been hiding from him. "Get away from her now." He ordered, not using his persuasion just yet. He stalked over and grabbed Goddess very roughly by her arm, tugging so hard that she reached her feet and then continued and fell right down on the floor, hitting her head. Blade crouched near Goddess as she had a little bit of blood coming from her head, staring into her eyes as he smiled at her. She was alright, just the way she had hit her head gave her a little cut. He left her there and focused on Jericho, eyes narrowing as he was trying to think what to do. "What the hell were you doing with my mother?" Was all he asked, the next few words determining if Jerichow ould try and rip him to shreads, or allow him to live.
