Attack on Xavier's
Penny stepped out of the cab and didn't look back to see if Winterkill and Breakneck were getting out. They would follow, of that she had no doubt. They had a mission to do. Penny smiled. They'd have fun doing it too.

Penny smiled more as she practically bounced up to the gate. Makeup covered the bruise she had because of that bastard breaking her nose. Anger bubbled up, but she pushed it back. She couldn't afford to let real emotions get the best of her. She had to play a part right now.

Smiling into the security camera, Penny pressed the buzzer.

	Cait reached the door as the bitch grabbed her ankles. The door opened inward and Cait fell to the floor. She could feel her ankle starting to freeze and she tried to use her powers to counter it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikhaila figured she'd do that - which is fine. She's ok playing back and forth with that, even if it'd be nice to just be able to put her out and have done with it. But while Cait needs to concentrate to use her powers, Winterkill can use her's automatically - which leaves her enough focus to twist the ankle as viciously as she can, trying to snap it.

	Cait screamed in pain as her ankle was twisted. She had to get this woman off of her. Instinctively she reached out with her powers as much as she could and could hear the pipes in the bathroom starting to give way. She kicked with her other foot, hoping to make some contact.

Winterkill rolls with the kick. It hurts, but pain she can handle. She also knows Cait is distracted, and like most of the X-Men, all their intelligence suggested she'll hold back.
She twists the other way just as viciously, continuing to vampire heat out of Caitlin's leg, forcing her to choose where her concentration will be focused, on the water from the pipes, or on not starting to lose toes to frostbite.

	Cait made her decision. She pulled at the pipes and they eventually gave way. Water started spraying all over the bathroom. Cait yelled as she grabbed water and formed a large column. It was semi-solid as it went speeding toward the woman holding her ankle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mikhaila cursed as she saw the water coming her way. She's forced to let go of Cait's leg, doing as much damage as she can in the process.
As it is, her dodge is almost too late, and the side of her face is bloodied by the impact from the column as she barely rolls with the worst of it.
No matter, it'll heal.

Trying to not give Cait a moment's respite, she dives right back at her, raking with her nails towards Cait's face, leaving streaks of glittery ice-lined blood should she hit anywhere near her mark.

	"BITCH!" Cait yelled and tried to push the woman off of her, but nails scratched her face. Cait screamed from the pain and desperately grabbed the column of water. Instead of hitting her with it again, Cait wrapped a bubble of it around the woman's head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Maikhaila leads the Marauders for a reason. The bubble forms, she freezes it and shatters it before she can start to suffocate.
"Two can play that game, whore." she spits, cracked ice lining her neck and shoulders, bleeding where the shards dug in. She shoves Cait towards her own column, trying to get Cait's head inside and thus underwater before Mikhaila freezes the water column, slightly healing herself as she sucks the heat out of the water.

	Cait managed to split the column into two tentacles before her head was put in it. She used the tentacles to repeatedly lash at at the woman on top of her. She could feel the heat being sucked out of her body and she hoped she could hold on long enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

With having to watch out for the tentacles, Mikhaila can't manage a consistent drain. She needs to do something, and fast or she's not going to be able to manage to keep avoiding the attacks, even as skilled as she is.

She takes a glancing blow from a tentacle which almost knocks her down in the process, but manages to close ranks again, reaching for the hand Cait is trying to guide the water with.

She tries to grab for the fingers of the hand, going for the small targets, trying to quick grab, freeze and twist and see if Cait can manage to keep her focus up with that.

	There was a brief flash of pain and then nothing except for the sound of her fingers breaking off. Cait knew what happened. Anger welled up inside of her and the tentacles wrapped around the woman and Cait tried to pull the woman off of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The tentacles do their job, pulling Mikhaila off. She screams in pain, then sucks the heat out of the tentacles so she can snap one of them. It hurts her hand to do it, leaving a bloody edge on the ice, but she manages. Insult to injury, she tries to jab at Cait's eye - with the extended reach of one of Cait's own frozen fingers.

	Cait was a little surprised the trick actually worked. Now there's ice and water for her to work with. The ice flew toward the woman while the tentacle continued to lash at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

For all that she's highly skilled, Mikhaila still requires touch to make her powers work, and she came in knowing Cait's powers had the greater utility.
She drops to the ground under a tentacle and the ice, touching the floor, trying to freeze the water there long enough to hold Cait still long enough while she realizes what's happening, and controls the puddles to free her feet - trying to immobilize her opponent long enough to go for a diving tackle at the knees.

	Cait felt the water on the floor freezing and moved the water and ice away from her feet. Split concentration was something that she had been working on, but was far from being very skilled at it. She had just enough to try to hit the woman with the tentacle while moving the ice and water away. It left her totally unfocused on the woman. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mikhaila's father was all about teaching her how to handle keeping concentration while in pain, keep her mind active and alert, and it would take people by surprise. He was a brutal man, certainly - but it was only for her survival, and it had paid off more than once since.

She's clipped by the tentacle again. Were it not for her healing abilities to go with her vampirism she'd have been out three or four times over by now, but she's no more normal than Cait is.

She takes the hit, but it helps her get in close. She sweeps at Cait's feet, then dives - trying to get one of those terribly freezing hands against Cait's throat or eyes, even for a moment.

	The woman hit her and Cait fell backward. The woman's hand touched her and Cait felt the numbing cold start to spread outward. Cait tried to counter it, but she was weakening too quickly from the biting cold. Darkness closed in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mikhaila first collects a DNA sample, stuffing it in her pocket. Then she tears Cait's top open enough to expose the skin over her heart.
The boss made her swear she wouldn't kill Drake, and preferred she be brought in.
"You're one lucky bitch. The boss wants you alive, for some reason." she says as she carefully brushes her fingertips over Cait's skin, feeling her heartbeat slowing as Mikhaila carefully moderates her powers to try and induce coldsleep instead of a lethal drain, healing herself bit by bit with the tapped body heat.

	"CAIT!!!!" Rufus Drake ran down the hallway. "GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER YOU...YOU....STUPID!" A fireball is sent straight at Winterkill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She was not expecting that. And fire - fire is definitely bad. Instincts kick in, and she dives away from the worst of it, but it definitely still hurts.

"Little brat." she snarls, lunging back at him. She's going to have to be quick - that hurt worse than she's letting on, and the effects of the battle with Cait are far from fully healed.

He's a pyrokinetic - that fact alone may save his life, at first anyway. He has even less training than Cait though, and a small body.

"You'll pay for that." she snarls, wrapping a hand to his throat, the flames snuffing out as she sucks the heat from them and any further attempts at raising a renewed assault, then begins to steal the heat from his body to empower her to finish Cait.

The heat brought Cait back to consciousness and she looked around. Rufus! The bitch had Rufus.

Cait pulled herself up to a sitting position and using the wall, she managed to get to her feet. She took a deep breath and pulled all the water in the area to her. Water rushed under the bathroom door and formed into a sphere.

Cait broke it out into semi-solid tentacles and lashed out at the woman.

One hit. Two. Three. Four. Five. Cait used every bit of strength to keep pressing the attack.

She reached out to the water in the woman's body and started making it colder. If this woman liked cold so much, Cait would give her a taste of her own medicine.

She wasn't expecting it, and as injured as she was, all her attention was on Rufus.
Bones snap under the tentacle assault. She's dashed against the wall like waves crashing on the rocks. Blood sprays across the wall, the floor, and Rufus' very cold, very still form.

Worse for Mikhaila, all the precious heat she'd drawn out flees under Cait's power.

It only takes seconds. With her vital essence drained, she falls to the floor, heart not beating, not breathing, in a pool of blood that glitters with ice crystals.

Anger boiled inside of Cait. She was mad about being attacked and madder about what the woman did to Rufus. With a yell she grabbed the water and wrapped a bubble around the woman. In seconds it turned to a block ice and encased the woman.

Cait staggered over to Rufus and then feel to her knees next to him. She placed her hands on his chest and slowly warmed the water inside of his body.

"Rufus," she said weakly. "C'mon Twerp. Wake up. Please."
