Verses note:

In verses where Alanna doesn’t have Abu or Iago around (aka, most of my on-land verses, lol), if she has an animal companion, that companion will either be a rat or a sphynx cat. Or, in rare cases, a kite (the falcon, not the kids’ toy, lol).

Dangerous Games

Alanna hated the Danger Room. Okay, maybe hated was too strong a word. She really disliked it, though. It was one of the few places where she couldn’t use her powers to protect herself. What was the use of being able to communicate with and command rats if the only rat she could actually reach was the one sitting on her shoulder? She ran a finger over Nassir’s spine and down his long, pink tail, using the motion to center herself.

This was a training exercise. A team-building exercise. So she’d just have to put away her dislike of the Danger Room and try to work with her partner. That was, if he would actually work with her. Mozenrath, aka, Sahir, wasn’t really known for being a team player. Neither was Alanna, really, but at least she tried to find ways to work with others when she had to. She ran her finger over her rodent companion’s length again while the setting for the exercise--made entirely of hard light holographics--took form around them.

Verses Update

Xmen!verse

Alanna was orphaned at a young age. She and her parents were caught in a heavy storm on their way home from a trip to the mountains. The car hydroplaned and went off the road, into a ditch. Her mother’s seatbelt snapped and sent her through the windshield, killing her. Her father was badly injured, but he managed to get Alanna and himself out of the car, only to be thrown to the ground when the gas tank blew. Cassim took the brunt of the blast to protect his daughter. Somehow, he managed to get them to a hospital, but was overcome by his injuries a few hours later. Alanna survived, but the accident left physical and mental scars. Her back was covered in gashes and burns that, though extensive, didn’t damage anything vital. And she was mute. That had nothing to do with her physical injuries and everything to do with the trauma of the experience. She wouldn’t speak a word, but she would wake screaming within minutes of falling asleep every night. With no known relatives or godparents or even family friends to take her in, Alanna was placed in foster care. She went through many different foster families. None of them lasted long. Her powers manifested when she was twelve. Her foster father at that point, a man named Hasib, decided he wanted a taste of younger flesh than his wife’s and forced himself upon Alanna, thinking she would be an easy target since she was small for her age and hadn’t spoken in five years. He was wrong. Hasib’s wife Yadira found Alanna in her room less than an hour later, holding a midnight black dwarf rat in her lap and staring blankly in shock at her foster father’s mangled, chewed up corpse. The woman’s resulting shriek jolted Alanna into action, and she ran. A woman with dark skin and silver hair, who introduced herself as Ororo Munroe, found the girl sitting alone in a nearby park--still holding the rat--and brought her to the Xavier Institute for Gifted Individuals. She’s been a part of the X-men ever since.

Intelligence

Belle hated breaking into police headquarters, but the officer she'd spoken to that afternoon had been less than helpful. And rather rude, too. Charles had, using Cerebro, found a mutant who had just come into their powers in this city, and he'd sent her to retrieve them. Strangely, he hadn't been able to find out their name or abilities. Someone was cloaking the young mutant extremely well if an Omega level telepath like Charles Xavier couldn't find out more than their location. So here Belle was, looking for information on any strange occurrences in Las Vegas. Well, stranger than the usual insanity of the place.

"...I don't want to hurt the students." She confessed. "I can't control it; it's getting worse."

It wasn't often River was sent to find possible mutant students but she knew her way around New York efficiently and it wasn't long until she found the young girl. "Hello there, are you alright?"

[knownconsortofthedoctor]

"Don't you understand that I'm trying?" River pleaded. "I can't remember around twenty years of my life. I've probably killed people, this is difficult for me."

[knownconsortofthedoctor]

River startled awake suddenly sitting upright in bed. It took her a moment to realise that she was in her old bedroom and not in the unremembered place of her nightmares. It took her a moment to realise that what had woken her was a knocking at her bedroom door.

"Come in!"
