The thing about a ninja is, a ninja doesn't
need a superhero name.
A ninja is just a
ninja. A ninja is a force of nature. The wind doesn't have a name, the
darkness doesn't have a name, and
vengeance doesn't have a name...
(But if she
had a ninja name, she thinks it would probably be Kimiko Shadowborn, like the awesome girl ninja from
Magic Teen Warriors : Xtreme because that is a
really cool ninja name.)
And after she sneaks out of the
wardrobe, she knows just who her first target is.
One of the
bad mutants. She's not going to hurt them, because she's
not a bad guy. She just wants them to know that the station has eyes. ...HER eyes. And that she's got their number, and they better not try anything bad. Also, she's got this costume and she just had her first ninja class with Wolverine-sensei, so she really wants to do
something.
So: Magneto and Mystique. Time to track them down... ninja style.

Mystique's on her way back from a swim, wrapped in a terry robe and wearing flip-flops, when she sees something familiar-looking on the ground, just outside the Arboretum.
It's a
bullet. An AK-47 shell, to be precise. Just sitting there. She looks up from where she's crouched and sees another one, farther down the hall.
What the hell...She thinks of the block of rooms up ahead, half of which lock sporadically, and wonders if it's even remotely possible that the armory has opened up.
Later, in retrospect, the fact that a child set her up with a breadcrumb-style bullet trail and she
fell for it calls for some serious self-examination.

Bam! Mystique walks in, and the door shuts behind her. Molly-- err, the faceless ninja-- presses a button on the wall and locks it. There's a mirror in Mystique's room, so she can see Mystique, but Mystique can't see... the ninja.
Mystique's face is priceless.
"What the
#$@%?!"
"Hello, Mystique," says the ninja in her most mysterious, loudest whisper.
"I think we should have a talk. ...and no more swears.""
Molly," Raven says through her teeth, looking like she's about to try busting through the glass. "Unlock the door. Now."
[ C'mon, tag in and be party to Mystique's fury and humiliation or Molly's mysterious admonishments of a former X-villain!! xD Depending on your tag-in, I'll give you one, the other, or both (and let you know via IM or email) at least until your character either frees Mystique or encourages Molly to get a new hobby. Feel free to pretend your character got the wrong door and stumble into Mystique's side, or see Molly's door open a crack. ]
