*Tori had taken a nice little stroll and found herself at the beach. She loved the beach and was sad that she didn't wear her swimming suit under her normal cloths. She sighed and walked to the edge of the peir. The ocean was so pretty. She loved water, especially when she was in water.*
*Standing at the edge she looked down at the waves crashing. Some people may think that she would be a jumper but she wore a large smile on her face. She took a deep breath in, smelling the salty air. Tori started to wave back and forth, because of the wind. Also she wasn't paying attention, she didn't mind if she fell in, actually she would love it.*

Braxton didn't have anything else better to do. He was tired and bored, so why not take a stroll along the beach? So, he made he way to the pier eventually and walked toward the edge. There, he saw a girl on the very end, looking like she was about to jump. But... was she smiling? Guess she's not jumping, then.
So he stood a few feet away and smirked slightly. "Do you always stand at the edge of a pier like that?" he asked. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you'd jump."

Travis was walking down Harbor Island Park Beach pier. His sharp, blue eyes’ catching every detail, because if there was one thing Travis loved it was information. Information was valuable. It could be the thing that saved you in a life or death situation, and because of this Travis often knows more about something then average.
As he continued to walk down the pier a girl and a boy companion caught his eye. They were standing at the edge where one soft nudge would send the girl over the cliff. He walked over; maybe he could get information from either the girl or the boy. On closer inspection he saw that the girl was one of the students that attended Xavier’s school. He donned a smile before he spoke, “You know he’s right. If got any closer you’d fall in.” He then paused. “Unless of course that’s what you want.”

*Tori turned around. Two boys? Wow this was fun. Her smile only grew as they both mentioned falling in.*
If I did fall in it wouldn't matter, I'm an excellent swimmer. Plus the water just looks so inviting, doesn't it?
*Tori lived half her life in the water, weather it was excruciating or just practicing her power.*
So what are you two doing out here on such a nice day?

Braxton nodded. "I love the ocean," he agreed, and then turned to see the new stranger. "I'm here out of boredom. What about you?" he glanced from the new boy to the girl again.
The girl was pretty, and looked excited to see two boys standing behind her. The stranger looked kind of strange with those sharp eyes. Braxton didn't think anything of it, but he seemed like he was smart. Braxton, however, didn't look very intelligent, but he was decent enough when it came down to it. But with the clothes he wears, to a stranger walking, he probably wouldn't seem like the brightest of the bunch.

Travis shrugged. “Business.” It was true…from a certain point of view. Because Travis’s job dealt with information he could anywhere and learn something important. With him being the leader of his organization was a plus to. As Travis turned his attention to the girl he processed what she just told him. Water…water. Ah she was Victoria Vega the water mutant.
Travis then turned his attention to his male companion. He didn’t recognize him but he had a feeling that he would turn out to be a mutant. He just didn’t belong to any of the groups.

*Tori shruged, she thought back to earlier. She was having fun swimming around the pool, when some annoying students jumped in and got in the way. But she was done any way. She had changed, gotten breakfast and went for a walk.*
Just walking around. Plus the pool at where I live was taken up.
*She took a closer examine of the boys. They looked like polar opposite. One was clean cut and looked very intelligent. The other looked just like a normal guy out for a stroll. Also one was board and the other was a business man.*

Considering that cats didn’t like water and Lola was, in a sense, feline, it was surprising that she loved the beach so much. Initially she had gone to bask in the sun, maybe take a nap and scribble down some designs, but her trips to the beach never ended in that fashion and she always ended up making new friends.
Her attention was arrested when she saw some idiots attempting to climb up one of the pillars holding the pier over the sand and water that made the shore. This she had to see. She strolled towards the boys and laughed when the one who made the most successful attempt fell onto the earth. Upon noticing this, he closed the distance between them and attempted to flirt with her. When she laughed at him, she instantly became one of the boys.
One of them suggested that they storm the pier and see who was daring enough to jump off. Lola was the first to jump at the idea. They rushed down the pier, Lola nearly blending into their crowd. However, once they were there, the boys became a bit reluctant to jump. She rolled her eyes and climbed up onto the railing. A few of the boys hooted and hollered at finally having a full view of her in her bikini. She winked playfully over her shoulder and turned around to do a backflip off the pier. Flips and other aerial stunts had become easy for her since her powers emerged.
((Ya'll don't mind if I join do ya?))

Business. That was specific. Braxton was sometimes annoyed by it when people never gave direct answers. Although, Braxton himself never gave the clearest answers himself sometimes so he guessed he shouldn't complain.
So the girl lived at a place where there was a pool. Lucky dog. Braxton just stayed at a little apartment. Nothing there but a tiny backyard with a few bushes. But that got him thinking, though. There was a pool at the mansion where his little sister stayed. But that didn't mean that this girl stayed there, too. But, she did seem to love the water a lot...
He examined her closer then, as if you could tell if someone was a mutant by their appearance. He thought himself stupid for trying it. But then his attention was taken when a girl in a bikini jumped off the pier nearby in a perfect backflip.
"Whoa," he couldn't help but be impressed. He couldn't do a backflip, anyway. When the bikini girl came back up to the surface, he smiled down at her. "Nice one," he called down to her.

Travis couldn’t help but smile. He knew he had the male curious about what he was doing here. He hadn’t given any detail into what his business was, not like he would. His business wasn’t exactly legal. Not that he cared, he loved information and if someone was willing to pay for it he was willing to give it to them.
His eyes then went to the water where he saw the same girl surfacing that Braxton did. Now this was a person he knew right away. Rebecca June Mayne, or as she liked to be called Lola, worked in a local cantina. Travis returned his attention back to the other girl, Tori and held out his. “I’m sorry milady I haven’t introduced myself. I am Travis Karrde.” Not that she would have heard of him, no one did and that was the way he liked it.

*Tori watched as the girl jumped off. She was quite the acrobat. She smiled down at the girl, and when the second boy spoke she was shocked. What was he, born 100 years ago. She wasn't a lady... she walked around the school in her bikini, just to see if any of the new/younger kids would try to flirt with her. She also belched and burped in public then laughed about it.*
Tori
*That was all she was going to give him. And after that one girl jumped, Tori kind of wanted to also jump in.*

When Lola sunk into the water, she could feel the soles of her feet collide with the sandy floor of the ocean. For a while, she lingered under the water, glancing at her surroundings before staring up at the surface where the sun shone brightly. She could have easily stayed under longer, but she decided it would be better if she didn’t leave people worrying.
Lola pushed off the ground and resurface, tossing her hair out of her face, waving at the boys she had stormed the pier with. Her attention was grabbed by another boy complementing her, most likely from her backflip. She really wasn’t trying to be a show off. Flips were just more fun.
“Thanks.” she yelled back to Braxton. “Why don’t you join me? It’s not as long a fall as it looks like.” She noticed Travis and arched a brow. “I know you. You were a regular for a while. I could have sworn to god you were stalking me at one point.” It was then that she noticed Victoria. “If you’re just gonna stand there you may as well stop acting like you haven’t already decided to jump in and get it over with.”

Braxton smiled down at Lola and nodded to her invitation. He hated his stupid jacket anyway. Getting it a little wet wouldn't hurt. He turned back to Tori and Travis a moment. "I'm Braxton, by the way. And, if you'll excuse me..."
With that, he slid off the edge of the dock, willingly falling straight onto the surface of the water in a bellyflop. Once he sunk deep into the water, he resurfaced and smiled back at Lola. "Howdy."

*Tori smiled at the invitation. She watched Braxton jump in as well. She then turned to Travis.*
You can join if you want.
*She then smiled and dived off the dock. She had been in a diving club when she was younger, so muscle memory just kind of kicked in. The dive was good and once she was wet under water she stayed under for a little bit, looking around . Then she came up, looking at the other two with a big smile on her face.*
