A/N- Okay. Not exactly a chapter, but more of a 'Let's describe Melody and her powers!' So... Yeah, this is Melody... and Nicholas, since I'm sure some are wondering about him too.

Name: Melody Allerdyce

Age: 14

Hair: brown

Eyes: black with a hint of red

Clothes: baggy jeans, black t-shirt with red flames and red and black fingerless gloves.

Powers: X-Ray vision and limited control of fire.

Past: Though a few years younger than John, he doesn't recognize her as his younger sister. When it was discovered that John was mutant, she was taken to an orphanage because she was, by all understandings, 'normal'. That was the last John saw her, when she was 2 and he was... older...(I dunno specific ages. Shut up.)

Crush/Pairing: Since she's come to the Institute, she's gotten quite the crush on Piotr and Warren. Jinx has been teasing her endlessly about it.

Name: Nicholas Asinawa (If you wish to dog on him, call him Lord Ass-in-our-way.)

Age: 26

Hair: Black

Eyes: Green with a hint of blue

Clothes: nice jeans and a black, tight-fitting muscle shirt. (Let's just say that Todd can NOT keep his eyes off of him...)

Powers: None. He's human... For now... (VOTE and give ideas for a power!)

Past: He grew up with Todd in a small country bordering Japan. He snuck out quite often from his father's palace and played with Todd. When they were around 13-14, Todd's power came out and when Nicholas went to go see him that day, Todd was gone, presumably dead since there had been a raid that night. Upset and angry, mostly upset, Nicholas disowned his family and moved to America.

Crush/Pairing: Todd/Toad. He's never hearing the end of it from Melody...
