Team members: Storm (lead), Nightcrawler, Kylun, Scarlet Witch

Objective: End a bank raid being committed by mutants (Avalanche, Mad Dog, Corruptor) and prevent harm to hostages.

Mission status: Successful. All the hostages were brought to safety and the perpetrators handed to the police.

Summary: We arrived on the scene to find a large group of bank staff and passers-by being mind-controlled by Corruptor and used as a means to keep the police from reaching the raiders - both by threatening to harm them and by causing them to get in the way.

Scarlet Witch and Nightcrawler took on Corruptor, with Nightcrawler first removing those under his control to a place of safety where they could recover. Meanwhile, when it was possible, Scarlet Witch used her powers to remove the threat without the risk of herself being touched and "corrupted". Kylun dealt with Mad Dog, since he had his swords and therefore could fight from enough distance to avoid being bitten - he was able to knock Mad Dog out with the blunt edge of one sword, and left him in police custody. Avalanche was incapacitated by Storm with a lightning bolt.

They are all now in police custody.

So, in the spirit of self-evaluation (I seem to say that far too often)... Wanda, Kylun? How would you assess your own performance on your first mission?

This "Mad Dog" relied on using his natural strength and speed to overpower his foes. He would certainly be more dangerous with training and discipline, but I do not think those rank very highly among his priorities--I will be a long time bathing before the stench of his drool is gone from my fur. Still, he was easily enough subdued, and I remain uninjured. I was glad to be able to defeat him alone, leaving the others to focus on the more dangerous threats.

With that said, however, I believe I would benefit from more exposure to the . . . shall we say, the more dramatic powers on the team. I faltered for an instant when Storm unleashed her lightning, and that will prove dangerous or even deadly against opponents more skilled than I faced today.

I thought Wanda and Kurt performed masterfully in their attempt to keep Corruptor's innocent victims from harm. It was an honor to fight alongside them.
