Milly looked back, looking at the fort. It was pretty good, too, considering her power of ice...
"Wow! Your fort is really good! And I know forts! Can I play?" she smiled.

Daniel smiled, then looked at his sister. "Can she?" he asked.
Yra laughed. "It's barely been two days since we've been here, and already you've made new friends. Little Mister Social. 'Course she can play." she said, going back to shoveling.

((ooooo, I have an idea for a villain.))
Some distance away from where Storm and Noel were walking, Xavier was heading toward his house. Without warning, a wall of flames rose up around him. Being a fire elemental, Xavier was not frightened. He waved a hand to put out the flames, but he grew apprehensive as it didn't do any good. Tentatively, he tried putting out the fire again, but to no avail.
"Noel, I know it's you," he called with more confidence than he felt. But as he neared what he hoped was an illusion of the mischievous girl, he felt heat and drew back. Normally he would be immune to fire, but his powers didn't seem to be working on this strange blaze.
"Surprising, isn't it?" said a voice. He whipped around to see a tall cloaked figure, its face barely visible in shadows, standing behind the flames. "Your powers don't work on my fire."
"Then take them down," said Xavier, growing angry.
The woman turned and seemed to watch him idly before replying. "No."
"Then I'll make you," growled Xavier, raising his hands. The spell he used should have shot fire at her, but nothing happened.
The cloaked woman smirked. "Oh dear, no good." As she spoke, the blaze came closer to Xavier, who was standing in the center of the ring. He looked around, hoping to find some way to escape, knowing his powers couldn't help him.
-
Noel looked up. "Someone was calling my name, I think it was Xavier."
Storm looked sternly at your sister. "Did you leave a spare illusion around to bother him?"
"No, well, I don't think so...."
"Come on."
The sisters reached Xavier, and gasped at the sight of the blaze surrounding their friend. It was clear that he was not the one controlling it.
"Stay here," muttered Storm. She raised her hands and called down a steady rainfall, which quenched the flames. She ran forward.
"Xavier! You all right?"
"Storm!" he exclaimed.
"You!" shouted the cloaked woman who had controlled the blaze. "You think a mere rainstorm can stop I, Mirra? Think again!" She raised her hands, and a wind grew, clearly controlled by Mirra. Storm grabbed Xavier's hand. "Come on!"
She pulled him away, hissing to Noelani to put up a shield. Noel quickly cast a veil of mist around Mirra, and the three friends dashed off.
A safe distance away, Xavier stood panting with Storm and Noel. "That was so strange," he said quietly. "My powers didn't work at all." He sighed. "How strange it felt to fear fire."
Experimentally, he raised his hand, and a puff of flame appeared in it, burning briefly before he closed his hand and put it out. "It must have been Mirra. She stopped my powers from working, and turned them against me. But how is that even possible?"
"Let's go," said Storm. "We need to figure out what's going on here."

((Sorry for the inactiveness, but I'm not in a roleplaying mood anymore. So, count me out of this one.))

Chris goes outside. He walks toward the store to buy food he passes the three friends. "Hey is something wrong?" Chris asks inquistively(sp?). (( Bye!))

Noelani had quickly recovered from the small adventure and was as talkative as ever. "Well, Xavier was afraid he'd get burned, which is weird because he can - mmph." Storm clamped a hand over her sister's mouth with a nervous grin.
"Heh... yeah... Sorry about that..." She gave Noel a warning glance. "We're fine, really..."

Yra finished shoveling and told her brother she was going on a walk, to get to know her new town better.
She first walked around the block, then went out farther, thinking about her old home. She missed her old town. Unfortunately, she couldn't move back even if she wanted to; her house had been destroyed in a fire.
It's strange, though, thought Yra. The policemen were never able to figure out what was the cause of it. The only thing I remember apart from the house burning down is that I had a fight with mom the night before. It can't be related to that, though. I mean, I'm pretty sure she didn't burn the whole house down, just because we were angry at eachother, and I know I didn't start it.
At that moment Yra remembered the image of her house in flames. She remembered staring at the blazing flames, unable to stop them.
Yra clenched her fists, then stopped and took a deep breath. She looked around to see where she was, and saw that she had not left traces in the snow. Where she had stepped were holes in the snow, melted all the way to the grass. She frowned and bent down to examine her steps, when she heard a somewhat familiar voice say, "You guys aren't criminals are you?"

Xavier shook his head emphatically. "No, it's nothing like that. It's just..."
As Xavier and Storm tried to explain without revealing anything, Noel got a little bored. She spent some time "sculpting" the figure of a cat in mist, and she released her translucent creation which pranced around Storm and Xavier and purred. Storm froze, and hissed to Noelani, "Put it out!"
With a scowl Noel did so. "Storm, why can't I use my powers? With that lady gone, I can do stuff again."
Storm put a hand over her face in dismay.

Chris smiles a bit. He lets a snowball appear over his head. "If you're trying to hide your powers you don't need to."

Yra didn't pay much attention to the conversation going on between the four people behind her. She was more concentrated on trying to figure out what had happened for the snow to melt where she had stepped. She was forming a somewhat possible idea, when a young boy's voice exclaimed, "Whoa! How'd you do that?!"
Yra looked up to find her brother gaping at something behind her. She turned around to see some sort of see-through cat purring and rubbing against two of the group's legs, then dissapear.
She turned around to hiss at her brother. "Daniel! What the heck are you doing here?!"

Storm breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. That's very, very good. If you're like us....... you'd better watch your step."
Xavier nodded, shuddering at the memory of Mirra using their powers against them. "She's right. Be careful." He shook his head, but didn't say anything more.

Chris grins. "Hey do you know those guys over there?" He gestures toward Yra.
