That Escalated Quickly (OTA)

[st_hotflashes]

Liz was out away from the Inn around noon trying to complete a science experiment that she thought might be useful for the obstacle course she and Kitty were almost ready to start building. She had all the components laid out including benign acids and basis. She wanted to see how she could cause a spray of foam jut out as an obstacle that might need to be avoided or at least distract for a while. It was like a much more sophisticated volcano experiment but instead of 'oozing lava', her goal was for spraying foam.

She was currently on the ground writing notes about a failed attempt - doing things like this was nice to get her mind off of other things that had been taxing her mind lately. That's when she heard panting. Liz looked up, expecting, maybe, to see Dante, but what she saw made her freeze. There was a wolf a few yards away. In her peripherals, she could see three more. Liz knew enough about wolves that she figured there had to be a few more behind her, since they hunt in packs. She started to do quick calculations on how fast they probably were and how fast she was not and then what chemicals she had with her that might be good distractions...

(ooc: Anyone who has a pup itching to use their powers or feel useful, feel free to come help Liz out. There is 6 or 7 wolves depending on your needs [a typical wolf pack size])

Liz was almost a little winded from being picked up. Not that it exerted any of her energy, but because she hadn't been expecting it. "I'm, um. I'm fine. " She offered a smile, clearly having been nervous. "Better now, though."

"Good." One of the wolves jumped up to snap at her but did not come close enough for worry. In slow, steady steps, Piotr moved them even further away from the fray. "If you get lightheaded from altitude, you can use my head to steady yourself."

She blushed a little, not really knowing why. "I..." Her eyes went over his metal skin. "I didn't realize you could... change your skin. Peter had mentioned you had a power, but not what it was."

"Oh yes, this is my mutant ability," Piotr chuckled and wiggled his fingers, "Is not a secret but I do not often have need for it here. The cells of my body are replaced by a bio-organic metal."

"Bio-organic metal." She said it like someone far to interested in molecular biology, because she was, but she stopped herself after she heard her voice. "That's really neat. And, um. I guess it comes in handy, too."
