NOTE* Although I made this thread in Alcatraz Island, it is really set in Honolulu, Hawaii since it's the closest there is.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Takashi's right eyebrow twitched with annoyance at the site of all the vacationers this year. The beach was literally packed with all types of people, leaving almost no walking space what so ever. Although he did enjoy having people visit, just having this much people was too much.
Putting his hand over his eyes, he looked out too the ocean to see many surfers already out waiting for some waves. Closer to the shore, people were lazying about, just enjoying the sun and playing with their friends and family; he would be going out there with the surfers.
After crossing the the beach, Takashi threw his board out and jumped on, starting to paddle his way out farther. He went up next to his fellow surfers and chatted with them for a bit, waiting for a wave to appear. Seconds turned to minutes and time just seemed to creep away slowly as they waited.
"This sucks!" One of the surfers yelled, splashing his hands down in annoyance. "There's been like, two good waves all day!"
"Not worth sitting out here, that's for sure." Another said, already turning around to leave.
Takashi frowned at their patience and turned to the only other surfer with him. A frown was on her face and she looked as if she was about to turn around and swim back as well.
Look's like he'd have to spice things up a bit. Takashi casually placed his right hand in the water and began to concentrate. He clenched his fist and off in the distance, a surfable wave appeared and the frown on the surfer's face disappeared and she quickly swam forward to get ready. Takashi followed her leave, not noticing this his hand was shifting between skin and water.
For a good 15 minutes, more and more waves appeared at a steady pace, leaving Takashi content and happy with himself for being able to control his powers. Of course, things would not go as planned as he looked down at his hand. Takashi panicked, falling off his board and into the water. Not being able to see his hand, he freaked out even more, causing his powers to go haywire.
Out on the beach, a little boy pointed out to the water. A gigantic wave was heading fast towards the beach and everyone was running for their lives. Lifeguards were blowing their whistles, telling everyone to get clear as parent's scooped up their children. The wave hit the beach, destroying everything in its path. The pier was reduced to to debris as wood went flying and stands were swept away. Beach parasol's flew high into the air, as well as people as the water struck.
Out in the sea, Takashi was finally able to get a hold of himself and swam up to the surface. What he saw horrified him. Bodies were strewn across the beach, as well as a path of destruction. Lifeguards were rushing out to the beach to perform CPR as others tried to help out the best they can.
Takashi was mortified at the scene before him. He did not even register that he was being pulled by the girl he was surfing with back to the surface. All he could think about was the destruction he had caused.
He would never use his power ever again.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I would like the next few posts to be of the X-men setting up a team to retrieve Takashi at his home, if possible =D

Jean Grey was at the steering wheel, her mind reflecting on the events that happened that morning. There was a strong signal that detected a high range of mutant activity, and Jean as chosen to lead a small team of one or two to assist the mutant or any nearby citizens that were in need. Jean secretly wanted to fly the X-jet, also known as the infamous Blackbird, but it was made clear that that with her small number of teammates she was forced to drive one of the lesser aircrafts belonging to the Institute. While most of her memories remained unclear, flying was almost instinctive.
As the craft drew closer to Honolulu, the tsunami down below made itself distinguished. Crashing against the mainland, leaving only destruction behind, it didn’t take long or much to realize she found the right place of the location of the mutant. Aside from a few close calls, coming within touching distance with the tsunami before it splashed against the land, Jean was able to recover and make an almost perfect landing. Proud of her accomplishment, the latched open as she hurried outside to help the people in need.
The damage left many people frightened and confused, some yelling out for their lost friends or family. Most were left silent at the sudden aftermath of a large tsunami. When she heard the cries for help, people trying to remove broken wood that was once was a kiosk, off a local worked, Jean rushed to help them using telekinesis to lift the heavy objects off from the injured man.

Takashi was dragged out of the water by the woman who quickly checked his vitals to see if he was alright. She did not know what was wrong with him, but he seemed okay; probably shocked at what had just happened. Knowing he was okay, she went off to help someone else.
The scream of an aircraft above jerked his head upwards to see a small plane landing not too far away from the beach. He could not see who was getting out of the jet, but he could only assume it was help.
Takashi shook his head to clear his thoughts. He had been in a haze for too long and now that he was okay, he was finally able to take in everything around him. The screams and yells for help, along with the countless people suffocating from being drowned were only making him feel worse.
Jumping up off the sand, Takashi moved to the closest person available. A little girl lay on the sand with a older woman, probably her mother, shaking the girl to wake up.
"Let me help!" Takashi exclaimed, taking the girl from her arms. The mother looked scared to let go of her child but caved in knowing she wouldn't be of much help. He then went through the standard procedure of CPR.
As he was helping this girl, his mind was still on his powers. Just because he wanted to have a little fun, he had caused a disaster. He felt like the biggest scum on the earth right now.

James Manson was on the team of Jean Grey when they needed to go to Hawai and help there with some tsunami that came there. Lucky for him Jean was flying because James couldn't see a thing and he didn't think it would be good to crash into anything. So he felt how Jean landed as he got out of the plane. He felt some people under heavy objects as he grabbed his cane.
He walked to the heavy objects as he smashed his cane into the ground and roots heading to the heavy objects. They got thrown up and destroyed by the roots into small dust pieces. As that was done he turned around to look at a young boy, it seemed like one as it was helping a female person. He was going to help that woman. hame for James, he wasn't that quick.
So after a few moments maybe a minute he came at the older woman as he looked to the boy. "How far is she wounded boy?"James asked as he looked to the direction of Takashi. As he looked to his way, people could see he was blind.

The stand that was once a café, or maybe a little tiki hut, was broken into what seemed like a hundred pieces. Removing one piece at a time seemed too slow for Jean’s pace and because she was trying to keep her power secret so people around wouldn’t become aware of the few mutants’ presence, the red-haired woman was impatiently digging. Trying to retrieve the trapped man without bringing notice to herself, Jean began to lift a few boards as a time but everyone was so involved trying to save a man’s life, she doubted anyone noticed.
By the time the man was rescued, Jean suggested they all leave. Following her advice without hesitation, Jean looked up and saw James helping another boy with an unconscious woman. She decided to follow after making sure no one else was injured in sight. Jean might have the knowledge of a doctor, but she allowed the two men to revive the little girl, her memories only coming in flashes and not giving her enough information to help save her. Instead, Jean comforted the mother who was probably confused and scared for her daughter’s life. After just calming the woman down with empty promises and telling her they were going to help her daughter, Jean settled down beside the boy.
“How is she?” Jean asked quietly after a few minutes of consoling the mother.

With steady hands, Takashi pumped his hands on the girls chest three times before tilting her head back and pinching her nose. He then put his mouth and blew in two breath's of air. This went on for a couple of seconds before the girl began to cough and spit out water. A look of relief spread across the boys face.
"She's o-," Takashi was cut off by his sentence as he looked up at the man overshadowing him. His eyes were blank; was he blind? Even though he was blind, it seemed like he knew everything that was going on around him.
"She's okay," Takashi replied, looking away from the man. A couple of seconds later, another woman appeared with fiery red hair consoling the woman and her child. Were these the people that had come off the jet?
Looking around, almost everyone else that needed help was being attended to and Takashi was not needed anymore. Standing there with the two new people, he could instantly tell that they were not here on vacation.
"Your not here for the sights...are you?" Takashi asked.

James looked to Tsunami as it looked to him. He heard him tell the ok from the female as he looked to him. "Ok that is good."James said. He then looked back to Jean. "They are fine."James said as he gave a quick nod to her. He then looked back to the girl as it left with the woman.
"Ok the help has been done here."James said as he got back up as he hold his cane. He then thought about a sec as he would know he was blind. "You looked to me, didn't you?"James asked looking to the boy. "I am blind, yes you have seen it right."He said as he then heard about the sights. Or rather vacation.
"Uhm to tell you this, we aren't."James said. "Can we explain it somewhere else?"James asked. He didn't like to be so confrontating, but Jean was still known about the Alcatraz thing. He didn't want people to know about her for now, as she was changed for good. She was good and perfect, James thought as he looked again to him and then to Jean.

Jean felt at ease when the safety of the child was assured. Watching the mother and daughter walk together, a happy ending after an accidental tragedy, Jean smiled at the outcome. Not only glad that no lives that were taken, that she knew of, the woman looked towards the boy who saved the life of the little girl. Looking confused, although having the correct assumptions, the charcoal hair teenager did not seem that surprised at their presence.
"No, we are not here for vacation," Jean replied, confirming the young mutant’s observation. Hearing James’s suggestion to talk another place, she doubted the boy would go with them without at least some excuse. Talking a few seconds, giving the boy and herself enough time to adjust to the quick events that just happened, she smiled gently.
"We are here about your gift," Jean began talking to him, trying to explain the reason why they were here. "We are mutants, like yourself. It is not about what happened, but we are here just to talk."
To prove her authenticity, Jean stood up, removing sand from her suit. Focusing her mind on a nearby piece of drift wood, it began to levitate just high enough to show her abilities.

She said she just wanted to talk, but he highly doubted that that was all they wanted to do. He had just caused a tsunami; there would have to be some type of detainment or trouble he had just gotten himself into. He was afraid to go with them in fear of getting locked up or possibly injected with the "cure".
The lady began to demonstrate her powers and Takashi's eyes widened as the wood began to float in mid-air. He wanted to be able to do that. Not lift objects with whatever she was doing, but the ability to control his own power like that. That was what he wanted.
"Okay, I believe you," Takashi said, making up his mind. "We can talk at my place,"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Takashi had never been on an airplane before in his life. He was really scared about the take off, since most planes had to take off down a runway. He was surprised when they moved vertically into the air. With only a couple of moments in the air, the jet had landed in the middle of the street, causing many civilians to come outside to take a look.
All eyes were on him and his fellow mutants as he made a straight bee line to his front porch, where his parent's were already waiting.
"Takashi! Thank goodness your alright!" His mother exclaimed, looking him over.
"Who are these people?" His father Hiro asked.
"They are..." Takashi paused, rubbing the back of his head. His parent's were really...accepting to mutants and he didn't really know the best way to introduce them. Plus he didn't even know their names himself.
