making cake

[nixly]

^{{I edited the ages a little, so it makes more sense that they do this kind of stuff alone. it won't make a big difference thou, Helena just went from 8 to 10}}

Helena smiled. She liked cooking. And making cake was easy! She gathered all the ingredients, like milk, eggs, flower and all the kitchen tools like cups, spoons, measuring device, and such. Luckily, there were a lot ingredients to be found; if they wanted everyone to have a piece of cake, they would need a lot of cake!
Haneka was laughing; she was smearing butter to the baking shape, while Elijah was messing with the measuring cups. She could hear him counting and doing maths, something he excelled at, so she let him.
She focused on the mixture in front of her, making sure everything was mixed correctly.
Of course, it did mean that the kitchen was a mess. Haneka and she had flower all over them (that would be a bath later) and Lars was floating above them, with his toy cars covered in the dough.

His toy cars had a little accident with the dough and Helena earlier on, so not only flower was widely spread in the kitchen.
Helena was still smiling; they could clean up later.

(Avriletta heard noises coming from the kitchen. Curious to who it was, she walked in to find the kitchen a complete mess. She then noticed the four culprits covered in flour. It was four kids, whom Avriletta had not met. She figured they were newcomers, but aside from that, she had no idea who they were.)

Avriletta: What is going on in here?

[nixly]

Helena turned surprised when she hear a voice. She had flower in her hair, and dough on her face. She looked at the taller woman, and said; "we're making cake for everybody in the house!"

A buttery Haneka (how did she get butter in her hair?) turned to ask the new woman; "I'm Haneka! what's your name?" The baking shape was more then buttery enough, so she was buttering every that looked a baking shape. "I like chocolate cake the most. What's your favourite cake?"

Lars was floating (with his dough-covered toy cars) in the air, ignoring the newcomer, just like his elder brother, who didn't appear to do anything but change the material of the kitchen.

[Amy, Ave., Tiff., Stiff.]

(Avriletta had smiled kindly when she heard that the kids were making cake for everyone in the house. She turned to the little girl covered with butter in her hair.)

Avriletta: Hi Haneka, my name is Avriletta. My favorite kind of cake would probably be cheese cake.

(Knowing they were just "kids", she decided to go easy on them.)

Avriletta: Kids, I think making cake is a wonderful idea, but you need adult supervision if you want to make something in the kitchen. Especially if you're going to use the oven. We are very cautious to anything that involves fire. Am I to be understood?

(Avriletta crossed her arms and looked down at the kids, like a principal checking up on the playground bully.)

Eljah looked at her, rather madly. "They aren't unsupervised. I'm watching them." He looked at her daring, he was 12 after all. Well almost. "We can handle ourselves."

Helena jumped in before her brother would really piss her off. "I'm not planning to use the oven. I can make fire, I can make the cake!" Being rather ditzy, she forgot cake has to have a constant temperature, that she couldn't provide, nor the at least an hour heat. along with the fact she never really learned to control her flames.

Haneka was washing the butter of her fingers, while looking at Lars. His dough-covered toy cars were starting to leak. The cars raced above the heads of everyone, treating to leak dough on somebody's head. Lars was floating upside down, and enjoying himself without paying attention to below him.

[Amy, Ave., Tiff., Stiff.]

(Avriletta looked at the boy with the attitude and was about to say something when the girl butted in. The fact that she could control fire made Avriletta forget about the boy for a second. All she thought on her mind was, "Great, another one!". Immediately she got thoughts of Winterfire and Inferno. Avriletta quickly shook the thoughts and focused on the children in front of her. She smiled and looked at the girl, trying to have a more friendly approach to the situation.)

Avriletta: I understand, but I think it's best if we bake the cake inside the oven. We don't want to set anything on fire, and trust me, it has happened before. Plus, the smoke from your powers will make the smoke alarms go off. You don't want that annoying buzzing to go off each time you cook.

(She continued having an honest smile, to lighten up the mood.)

[nixly]

Helena face's went from happy to sad when she realized her plan wouldn't work. "ow right."
And then she turned her frown upside down. "But you're here now! You can watch the oven!" She came dangerously close to ruining Avriletta's clothes.
"YAAAAY! We can still make cake!" Haneka flew over to Avriletta and hugged her. Butter. "you're the best!"
Elijah rolled his eyes, but didn't try to fight her again. He walked off, most likely to the living room, to find a video game.

Lars's toy cars finally couldn't hold the dough. the stuff came flying, finding it's way too Avriletta's already buttery clothes.

(kids ...)

[Amy, Ave., Tiff., Stiff.]

(Avriletta smiled knowing that the kids were now happy. When more of the dough and butter came on her clothes. She was tempted to grab some of the stuff and flung it back at Lars. Though she stopped herself, thinking of the deadly food fight that would erupt. The deadly part would occur when Liz found out about the mess. Avriletta turned to the girl Helena.)

Avriletta: Is the mixture ready for baking?

[nixly]

"Almost!" Helena turned to Haneka. "Haneka, I need the baking shapes now!" She took some of the baking shapes, poring the mixture in.
Lars came floating down, that stuff smelled really good! Haneka slapped his hand, telling him not to eat the strange stuff.
"You have to wait Lars, intill we finish baking it!"
(now floating on Avriletta's eye hight) Lars started to cry, but discovered his cars, that were also covered in the strange mixture. He grabbed one of his cars, and put it into his mouth.
Helena almost screamed at Lars; "You can't eat that! Give it!" She reached out to him, but he was just floating to high. Lars laughed at his sister, and kept chewing on his toy car.

(Jack exited the elevator and made his way to the kitchen. He knew where Avriletta was located because of the psychic link the two had. When he walked into the room, he stopped and was taken back by the mess in kitchen.)

Mindcontorl: Avriletta, what is going on in here?

(Avriletta smiled weakly as she looked at Jack.)

Avriletta: Oh there you are Jack... We're making cake, but Lars made a mess.

(Jack raised his eyebrow at her comment. He looked up at Lars, floating in the air. Jack's eyes glowed blue as he looked at the boy. Lars was covered in Jack's blue aura. He used his telekinesis to lower the boy back to the ground. Jack's eyes turned back to their normal brown as he starred down at the boy.)

Mindcontrol: Behave yourself while you are living in this house.

(Jack's tone of voice was stern and to the point. It sounded more like an order than a statement. He then turned to Avriletta with serious eyes. Avriletta looked at him, sensing his stress and worry.)

Avriletta: Jack, what's wrong?

Mindcontrol: Go to the briefing room now. Kitty will explain the details.

(Avriletta nodded her head. She left the kitchen and made her way to the elevator. Jack smiled as he looked at the two girls that were making the cake.)

Mindcontrol: Avriletta will be back to help bake you the cake. Can you guys wait here until she comes back?

[nixly]

Lars looked at the guy that just entered. He was speaking in a tone that suggested he did something bad. He was now sitting on the ground, and the man was staring at him. "Da?" he asked, trying to crawl towards the new man, most likely to smear the sticky stuff on his pants.


Helena looked sad. "I just wanted to make cake for everyone."

"Yes, I can wait sir." She took a few dirty pots, and started cleaning them up already.

[Mindcontrol]

Mindcontorl: Alright good. I'll be back soon.

(Jack let out a sigh as he noticed the sad expressions on their faces. It was going to be difficult having these kids living in this house. Considering the attacks and dangers that the X-men deal with. Jack had to do something special for them later. As he was about to leave, Jack noticed the boy was attempting to get his pants dirty with the cake mix on his hands. He backed away before he could smudge his pants. Jack looked down and smiled at the boy. He reached down so that he was at eye level with the boy.)

Mindcontrol: Nice try kid.

(Jack placed his hand on top of his head, messing the kid's hair. He then stood up and made his way out the door, now looking for Keiy.)

Since Helena couldn't bake the cake, she decide to try and clean up. Haneka, The youngest of the bunch, wasn't very interested in cleaning up the mess the helped make. It's more fun to make mess after all. Adults will clean it ALL up. So, no reason to try cleaning.

Haneka went to search Elijah, who was playing video games in the living room. And Lars, well, he just crawled around.

Helena looked at the mess, and felt her heart sink in her shoes. How is she ever supposed clean it, without any help? The 10-year old sighed. She found a rag, made it wet, and tried to clean the dough of the floor.
Witch only made the dough spread out.
Haneka, determent to clean, just tried scrubbing harder. It would work, right?

[Amy, Ave., Tiff., Stiff.]

(The elevator doors opened and Avriletta rushed toward the kitchen like a mad woman. She stopped at the door to find Helena trying to clean up the mess. This surprised Avriletta, but it also helped to put a smile on her face.)

Avriletta: Hey kids, I'm back. Ready to make this cake?

[nixly]

"Yaaay!" Helena couldn't hold back, and trow her hands into the air. The rag, that she was still holding, trow the spilled dough around again. Including on herself. She tried to remove the sticky stuff out of her hair, but even that couldn't wipe the gigantic smile of her face. "We are ganna make the best cake EVER!"
She tossed the rag in basin, grabbing her cake mixtures again.

Lars just floated up again, he wanted to see what all that noise was about.

Of course, that lured Haneka back into the kitchen. "Are we baking cakes now?" The smile on her face said something in line of; 'Yaay, making more mess!' And probably also 'yummy, cake!' Her intelligent eyes followed Avriletta, walking right after her (watch your feet!) to help bake the cake.

A short time later, even Elijah came back to the kitchen. The sounds and smells were cheerful and happy enough to even make Elijah smile. He remained on the background, keeping a close eye on Avriletta.
