The Danger Room allows for all sorts of scenarios to play out, and this one has been with the other seasoned trainers for far too long. It's time for a swap. "You're pinned." Nevermore's hands have secured his wrists to the ground, and her knees are either side of his hips. "Show me how you get out of it."

The Sentinels were torn apart around them, but Rogue was far from the mansion. No Beast. No Jean. And Dr. Reyes had done all she can for the young mutant, and made her comfortable. At Diana's bedside, she remained until they were alone. Then, she stood. Charles would certainly ask Kira to leave the school for this, but she couldn't just let her go. She pinches her finger with a claw, and guides her jaw open. She hovers the dripping cut over her dry throat, then releases her to heal. Color would return to her fast, even as her stats were crashing.

arc i. daywalker In her hiatus from the X-men, Kira visits her family estate in San Haven to settle her affairs and make sure the family of her childhood friend is well off in her home. On the way back through Los Angeles, Kira has a close encounter with a Reaper carrier, a vampire infected with a deadly virus that transforms them into a creature with an endless appetite for human and vampire blood alike. After it's slain, she narrowly escapes being cut down by Blade himself, and sticks around in town to investigate the growing epidemic among her kind. Scoping out a popular vampire safehouse, the House of Pain, the party turns fatal as the Reapers attack. A countermeasure reveals itself in the form of the Bloodpack, a private paramilitary of born vampires, combatting the Reapers no matter the cost of casualties. Kira proves herself a valuable ally, beheading a Reaper, and with the loss of Bloodpack member Priest, she is allowed to join their mission. When patient zero is revealed to be the vampire Lord Eli Damaskinos' genetically engineered son, Kira is subdued alongside Blade and Whistler. Imprisoned, her blood is harvested until Whistler frees her. She aids him in the destruction of the facility, feeding on the familiar guards and destroying the daywalker prototypes. After Nyssa Damaskinos' self sacrifice, Kira prepares to take off again, but not before leaving Whistler her contact information to reach her should anything that threatens the human race like this arise again. arc ii. nightstalker After leaving the X-men with a heavy heart, Kira receives word from Whistler. She arrives too late, to hear of the explosion that claimed Whistler's life alongside destroying their homebase, and to witness Blade be taken in by the police. She makes an elaborate effort of sneaking into the heavily guarded police station, only to find Blade, even in his drugged and weakened state has made a considerable effort to leave by himself. The two are interrupted by the young and human members of the Nightstalkers, a group of vampire hunters and occult experts banded together under one cause. Blade and Kira are escorted by Hannibal King to the Nightstalkers' base, where they are informed by sorcerer supreme Doctor Strange of the threat that has brought on a rise in vampiric powers making bolder attempts to eliminate Blade from the picture. Dracula rises, and with him so do the amount of fools who wish to subjugate the human race and cover the world in eternal darkness. Kira keeps her objections mum, only to Blade and Hannibal, that something else is afoot that has her father acting like his old self. The group rests up and follows leads in the morning, only to realize they've been separated from each other intentionally. Kira is tested, and spars with her father, tempted at every turn to join him, be a family again, and take on the responsibility of this planet and all it's creatures. It's what her father would have wanted, but it's not him that's saying it. It's not his turn of phrase. It's a shadow who still clings to a crown. Dracula leaves her to taunt Blade and Hannibal King individually, and as they regroup, he leaves to attack the Nightstalkers headquarters. The occultists are slain. The hunters too. The scientists hang onto life by a thread. Dracula sheds his disguise and is revealed to be Varnae, the original vampire. His only weakness is to trick his body into eating itself with an unstable, airborne virus that'll kill every vampire in the vicinity. With closure her father still rests dead, Kira evacuates the humans, and leaves LA for Genosha. She calls Hannibal who verifies Blade is alive and refuses to work with him again.

A stranger? Well, she wish she could say that didn't hurt. She leaves it alone. With fresh packing placed, Kira unrolls new bandages for her arm and wraps carefully with nitrile gloves. Her ruby eyes focus hard on her task until its done. She offers a weak smile, and removes her gloves to help her up. "Are you staying long?"

v;gifted **If you are a telepath or high level mutant, please plot with me to be on the same page as far as boundaries and power levels. In the mansion, Kira takes things slow, skeptical to make her home here at first. She bares witness to Magneto and Xavier's turbulent relationship, torn between leaving society to start a utopia and changing the world within the existing systems. She agrees with much of what Magneto speaks on. And yet, she stays to give Charles' peace and the children a chance. The idea that others with abilities would come to her aid should the government come knocking makes her lean into the vision. She works to get her teaching credentials, and becomes the Institution's biology and anatomy and physiology teacher. On her off time, she puts in the extra hours to help the residents of the manor explore their abilities, and encourage them to develop them for every day use. Though she gets her own blue super suit and moniker of Nevermore, Kira only goes on missions with the X-Men in crises or situations that require her knowledge, skillset, or resistances. Being able to resist telepaths and travel to biomes that are hostile to most humans, and knowing about supernatural species makes her particularly useful to have on the team. During this era of her life, she meets the dhampir Blade, and takes a hiatus to assist him in a matter of grave importance. The time and distance puts into perspective the smallness of what they're trying to accomplish at the school. And yet, Kira returns to the X-Men to assist them against combatting the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, who have come for Jean Grey. She doesn't want to hurt her, but with the rest of her team, she attempts to injure her just enough for her to break away from the Dark Pheonix and sacrifice herself to save the universe. After the funeral, she says her goodbyes, and leaves for Genosha to join the Brotherhood of Mutants. As an assassin under Magneto's direction, Nevermore targets and eliminates public figures and politicians who are expressly and actively anti-mutant rights. This leads to a criminal record, numerous encounters with the X-men and law enforcement, a few imprisonments and each time, a few breakouts.
