Boredom. Sheer, oblivious boredom.

Vulcan sat in whatever holding cell Genosha could manage for him while waiting for his trial. Unbeknownst to him, Emma Frost had died, Sage had been turned into a vampire, and the whole school was in disarray.

But he knew nothing about that. So, he sat, waiting to justify terrorism, alone with his gallery of demons.

Burn it down, prove your worth.

*Vulcan levitated down from the sky, directly in front of a new supervillain. He had just been in New York for a bar, but he may as well do the whole superhero shtick for a bit.*

*Yawn* “Alright buddy, let's make this quick, yeah? I don't exactly wanna spend too long listening to you… ramble…” *Gabriel trailed off a hand coming up to hold his temples.* “You have proven your power to use, you need now prove your worth as a weapon.” *A voice rang out in Vulcan's head.*

*His eyes glazed over, and in the next moment, the superhero shtick was done. Vulcan moved forward, no shockwave, no burst of fire, just movement. His hand grabbed the villain's face, and squeezed. The human skull is one of the strongest bones in the body, that didn't matter as Vulcan's hand crushed it like it wasn't even in the way.*

*The villain dropped and Vulcan floated back up into the air. He looked around, one word searing into the front of his mind:* “Burn”.

*10 minutes passed, 10 minutes of that one word. Once his minutes were up, he came to, mind clear of whatever had happened. Around him, 4 city blocks had been leveled, god knows how many were hurt.*
