“This is all so wonderful! It is quite spectacular to see all of you coming together like this!” Thor exclaims happily, especially since he was just coming back from spending a few days back in Asgard. He walks through the crowd -- wanting to see, and experience everything.
the sound of the shots still rings loud in her ears even though it’s been — minutes? hours? she’s not sure. all she can see in her head are flashes of the joker’s alabaster skin as she feels her pulse climbing, almost jumping out of her skin.
she should be better than this. she’s been trained for combat, trained to survive much more than just witnessing a damn gunshot but her body is frozen, sent hurtling back in time to the moment life as she knew it ended. the only thing that pulls her back to reality is a crowd jostling against her chair, almost tipping it over in her daze.
“I was really hoping this thing would have a hot dog eating contest.” Kate said, watching the crowd of people move about the rally. “I could’ve totally gotten Clint to make a fool out of himself by competing in it.”
tensions have been high, with the mutant registration going forward and the attack earlier in the year. the school is divided between those who are for it, those who are against it, and those who see no point in fighting it. those who do see a point in fighting have organized a rally to publicly oppose the registration and anti-mutant biased. so spread the word: anti-registration protest to be held on friday, june 1st, kicking off at 10am with a march from the front gates to the stage and rally area on the opposite side of campus. this protest is captain america approved !! so bring your friends, make signs, skip your classes ( if your professors didn't already cancel them ! ) don’t sit around and let freedom be taken from anybody. do something about it. let your voice be heard !
THE MARCH: led by captain america and members of the x-men and avengers, it will begin at the front gates of paragon and they will march to the opposite side of campus, where the rally area is located.
THE RALLY: clubs and teams have stands set up, buttons of all kinds are being passed out, petitions are being signed, and several live music acts will be playing throughout the day. all this along with speakers important to the cause will make a fun, inclusive, day for everyone ! want food ? good thing logan's on the grill and local establishments have set up food stands.

“There’s so much going on I'm a little overwhelmed.” Lian admits as she looks around, although she wants to be here since she knows how important this was. The button attached to her shirt was evidence enough of that.
It’d been a while since Helena had worried about herself, but worry about her family consumed her. It scratched away at her, leaving her emotions rawer than normal. (Even if her dad hadn’t been hurt, there was no way he was alright. And it was impossible not to worry about Steve then.) Worry, like most things, manifested as anger in her. She pushed her way through the halls, hoping to get to her dorm. “Do you think you people could pick up the pace?”
big crowds weren’t good ideas. especially then the majority of the crowd were mutants. laura knew better. she had just come back from a wolverine mission which was long and tedious but she got the job done. she was good at what she did. the large crowd with the laughter , the food , the music , the peace left her with a bad taste in her mouth. but she said nothing , just kept her distance while also keeping an eye on everyone and dressed in her usual wolverine getup. laura didn’t trust a lot of the people in the crowd ( then again... laura kinney didn’t trust many. ) she didn’t trust that this wouldn’t end up like that bonfire that ended in magneto’s granddaughter being kidnapped by the same organization that made her a killer and an assassin.
