"This is why I don't make so many jokes. I never know when is good."


Kitty's eyes weren't the only ones that flew open with Ororo's sudden, dramatic outburst, Piotr Rasputin's had too. His stomach wasn't so bad any more, seeing as the jet had levelled out, but when the bright, harsh light of the jet attacked his naked eyes it made his head spin and he was forced to close them once more. After a series of deep breaths he determined it safe to open them again, and in doing so he saw the Wolverine confronting the perpetrators, the four males who had been the cause of Storm's moment of hysteria.

Seeing as Logan was taking care of the situation and Storm seemed to have regained her control he turned his gaze on Katherine. Upon seeing her distress he removed the hand from the armrest closest to her and wrapped it around her shoulders, in a vain attempt to comfort her. She'd been through so much in the last week, they all had, trouble came with the uniform. But the fifteen-year-old girl shouldn't have been invloved in half of what had gone down, mutant or no. No one deserved to be threatened with the cure, no one deserved to have their house burnt down or their blood drunk, no one deserved to be attacked by their best friend or to be shot at, especially not a girl as young and innocent as herself.

"They call me Pyro. In the mood for a hot date?"


Eventually Pyro had had to stop crawing, too exhausted to go any further. His head was throbbing and each time he had out his weight on his knees they had sent sharp jabs of pain up his leg, letting him know that they had been damaged in one way or another. His eyelids had been hanging low over his eyes and his whole body was covered in goosebumps from crawling so far in the cold, mucky sewer water. He figured that he had travelled about one mile through the dark tunnels, no way was a beefy S.H.I.E.L.D agent going to follow him that far, well, thats what he told himself anyway.

When he had finally decided to give up he had manovoured himself into a sitting position, his back against the curved, cement wall of the tunnel and his legs bent in front of him. It was freezing and so dark that he could hardly see his habd in front of his face, yet he didn't dare get out his lighter, for fear of being discovered. He missed Julianet and he missed his relatively warm and comfortable bed back at the Brotherhood head quarter, and just before unconsciousness took him he was even beginning to regret going with Magneto and the others to DC, it had been more trouble than it was worth.

Gabriel shook his head, standing as she did also, however unlike her; when the jet shook his hand caught him against the wall of the jet. He looked at her with the fresh trickle of blood out of her mouth and groaned, wiping his eyes with his hand wearily and then stepped forward, squatting and looking directly into her eyes and turning on every bit of charm he could. He leaned forward as though to kiss her. Just as he was getting close, he spoke into her head.

::Forgive me.::

He then stuck wrapped an arm around her and in a Brazilian jujitsu move, spun her around and rolled. The result was that she ended up being hugged/trapped in a sitting position with him against the wall behind her, her bloody back pressing against his naked torso between his open leather jacket.

::I told you I'd care for you whether you liked it or not. You need to stay still, if you'd slammed your back against the wall in that fall you would have undone all my work. Now...STAY. If you want to get up you'll have to do in in your mental world, cos I'm not going to stop hugging you until we land.::

The black widow jumped slightly as her phone activated. :ksssht Ma'am?: she picked it up and pushed the button. "What is it?" :We've searched within a mile radius of the whitehouse as you requested. We must have missed him.: She paused before answering as she thought of the possibilities. It was either Tyler lied or Pyro had slipped out. She was inclined to hope for the later. He wasn't stupid enough to head toward any large reservoirs, Chinatown, the rock creek parkway, or union station. There were to many people that's why she'd come down where she did... unless he'd heard them coming. "Do me a favor... I'm in the 14th street sewer tunnel below Logan circle. Were there any tunnels anywhere else that were to small to fit into." It was a few minutes before she heard shuffling. :Ma'am there's a long drainage pipe from that area to the McMillan reservoir: She looked at Keon this time as she mused. "that's near Washington hospital, the children's National hospital, and stronghold park..." She pressed the button. "Are there any access points near my position?" :Yes Ma'am there's two under Howard university and Howard University hospital: She took off as quick as her leather clad feet could carry her through the muck. No one could crawl the entire way but she was willing to bet her shiny cars on Pyro giving it a shot. She was out of breath before she reached the cap for the drainage pipe. There wouldn't be a whole lot of oxygen down there. It would be any number of other chemicals but not what was needed to keep a clear head. If he'd been crawling around in that pipe he'd not only be exhausted but using up extra amounts of oxygen due to his injuries. If they didn't get him out of there soon they'd have one less lead and one major clog. She may be wishing to get information from the boy but she didn't want to kill him. He really was still a boy after all, or a young man anyway, she didn't want him dead. She risked firing her gun as she shot off the bolts on the access point. Hoping she had things right. There was extra sparks and her ears would be ringing for a long time to come but if she got to him just maybe they would both get what they needed out of this venture. Him some healthcare and her information.

Wanda stopped her pacing for a moment to look at Donovan like he'd just grown a second head. Not so much angry or repulse but more just a moment of absolute bewilderment. It raised questions. Why did he wait till now to bring this up? Why didn't he just mention it earlier? Was he good with it? Was he powerful like Xavior or just more like a mental walkie talkie? Why in the world would he even WANT to be in her head? He knew she was volatile. Should she be upset? Had he been reading her mind this entire time? Did he already know everything about her when he'd first talked to her? Was this all just some sort of game? That would explain how he'd seemed to know just what she needed the entire time, but was that a bad thing? He'd helped her so far regardless of the answers. She was able to tolerate having him around which was better than most people. Why would he even want to be around her if he already knew? All of these questions swirled around in the churning cesspool of her mind for what was probably over two minutes before she responded. The biggest question on her mind, or rather the one that bugged her the most bubbled up to the surface. "Why would you even want to?"

Donovan M.

Alias: Black Phantom
The look, or rather looks, that crossed Wanda's face made it harder to tell what she was feeling, or thinking. It was a good couple minuets before she spoke again. Well at least she didn't get all upset.
"For the hell of it." The first thing out of his mouth. Probably not the best answer, at all. He quickly followed it up, "I sorta just got the power really. It's kinda cool. I don't know how advanced it is but, it's pretty cool really." with that he leaned against the wall next to Wanda to get a little more comfortable. "So, you have a game plan or still letting things settle?" He asked. A game plan would be good, that way things could get done and get better.

When he answered Wanda tilted her head a little. It definitely wasn't what she was expecting but at least he was honest about it. Absently she wondered if she was going to have to use one of the magneto style "out of my head" helmets. She had one she just didn't want to wear it. It looked funny. "I can't start figuring any sort of plan until I know who I have to work with. No offense but if it's just you, toad, those two flaky girls, and me I don't really think there's much we can accomplish. My sister may be wanting to help but she's also not likely to want to break to laws. One of the first things were going to have to do is verify who's where and just who SHIELD and the MRD have which at the very least involves a severe case of breaking and entering. No matter what the first mission is going to make or break us and that's not even considering the possibility that my father may just still be alive."

She sighed and let her tense body relax against Gabriel's, closing her eyes for the rest of the flight. Within a few minutes she slipped off to sleep, her dreams bright.

[Ororo...swearing? That's one for the yearbook! *takes picture* rofl ]


I figured it would cause a bit of a shock hahahaha rofl rofl ]]

Ororo mentally thanked Logan for backing her up. She hated being the 'bad-guy' in situations such as these, and she was always thankful for Logan's presence in such dilemmas. Continuing to guide the jet she listened to carefully to Andreas as he continued to poke and prod the Dead Boys. "Zach..Nate..Please join me up here." she asked calmly. Her motherly instincts slowly seeped in again, telling her to separate the two sides as if separating two fighting toddlers.

Glancing down at the navigation system, Ororo adjusted the steering of the jet slightly before resuming a straight track. Reaching up, she ran her fingers through her hair to calm herself furthermore. "Half hour X-Men." she reported.

Tyler looked at the girl who had tapped on his glass, wondering why she didn’t want him to go, he hated how people treated him sometimes just because he thought differently then others, when ever he tried to help people in the past he was always shunned away, when he saw toad playing in the pond he actually smiled, he wished he could have been carefree like that, his slight happiness was taken away when a cop pulled up.

Tyler annoyed and angry.

“Thanks pig, now get lost before I phase you into your grave.”

Tyler would say as he looked at Damia.

Tyler

“Damia, they don’t really want me here, I’m just probably another person they want to just use, it’s obvious that none of them are willing to really trust each other, and from my diagnosis it’s obvious that each one of them wouldn’t know how to handle a proper medical situation, let alone I doubt they could get in without having to raise any alarms.”

Tyler would rub his arm gently and sigh.

Tyler
“Hey You, the one playing with the toad, what are you doing?”


Tyler would ask past Damia curious, before looking back at Damia.

Tyler
“I just Am tired of people underestimating me.”

Keon would listen to Natasha’s conversation, not on purpose, it was just to silent to not hear it, when he heard smaller pipes, he looked around.

Keon
“If he is in smaller pipes, we wont catch him unless we block off both ends of every pip a smaller person can crawl through.”

Keon looked at her and then looked around, unsure.

Keon
“One thing I know about the Kid I told you about he doesn’t Lie, if he says there is someone down here. He just may not be near us anymore, after all he has had a head start.”

Logan pressing his back up against the wall of the Jet again, sent his claws back into his hands and closed his eyes as he overheard Ororo tell them about the half an hour more wait. "Can't this thing go any faster? I want to get home so i could eat something. Not to mention a nice cigar wouldn't do any hurt" Logan told himself softly while checking to make sure that Victor was still strapped down and bounded to the wall before doing anything else. With that done and made sure of, Logan stood up and walked over to Colossus, asking him "Im going to Co-Pilot this ship back on home. If Victor moves, just one bit, shout to me. And if Victor opens his eyes what so ever, feel free to dent his face in. You can stay with Kitty if you need to, but just keep tabs on him for me". After this, Logan had patted Peter on the shoulder lightly and walked around the twins to the Co-Pilot seat, sitting down, belting himself in, and looking ahead as he took the secondary controls, putting them in the same mode that Ororo had done.

User ImageDamia tried to catch her breath her cheeks still colored a slight pink. "You can't expect a bunch of people who break the rules and live for themselves to trust each other right away. I think the only thing they had in common was that they were following that Magneto guy. That red lady only just got shoved into place today everything takes time. I don't think they know what they want." She looked at him her bobbed hair obscuring one of her eyes now that her hat wasn't holding it in place. "but...but I know what I want..." She didn't quite know how to say what she was thinking. Her sister was far better at this sort of thing. "...I want you... to stay..." she stammered looking at the handle on the car door as though it was suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. "You make it hard to think but" She kept glancing back to his face to see if maybe she was getting the point across. "I know your strong. I know you have more to you then just what I've seen. There has to be...I'd like..I'd like the chance to find out..." she pursed her lips in agitation.

The twins looked at each other worriedly before unbuckling and getting up.

"So this is what it feels like to get in trouble with a teacher," Zack whispered.

"Yeah, I thought it was bad getting in s**t with a gang leader, but Dude, she can kill us," Nate half joked to lighten the mood.

They stood side-by-side as they got to the from of the Blackbird.

"Yes Ma'am?" they asked in unision, nervousness heavy on their tongues.

Toad's head whipped around as he heard Tyler speak to him.

He pointed at the pond. "Just observin'. What's it to ya?" he asked, a quirky smile on his face, a sign he was only being an a** as a joke.

He looked back at the pond. A small inch sized toad floated in the water. Mortimer reached in a grabbed it, slowly lifting it from the water. He watched it in his hand until it jumped up to his shoulder. He smiled.

Then another toad jumped out of the water beside Mortimer's foot. He took the first toad and placed it beside the second, getting up to walk away.

He heard a croak and looked back. The toads had followed him, and more were coming out of the water. He took another step toward the house, watching the toads. They followed still.

"s**t, their stalking me!" Mortimer yelled. "God damn it, they must be girls!" he said, continuing to back away, only to have the toads follow him still. "Go on, get!" Mortimer said, waving his hands.

Once he was done mixing, he took a few sips, heading to his hottub.

Tyler would laugh as he watched the toads following the teen boy.

Tyler
“Seems someone has a few girlfriends, I wonder what people call you eh Casanova”

Tyler looked back at Damia, and nodded gently.

“I’ll stay, but to be honest, I shouldn’t sleep anytime soon, Akabane wants me to kill them, I’m tired and I just want to rest. I’ve just got my car, and to be honest, this is my first real day In newyork city. I’m not much of a doctor, but I am, and I can go places and get into places others can’t, but today I have been 0 and 2 with brotherhood, sighs, and I doubt the X-men are any nicer.”

"I don't think you could tie your shoes without me, Tony."

She picked up a few glasses still half-full of scotch and walked to the minibar Tony had installed in his office to dump them down the sink. Wiping the watermarks off the glass desk, she stuck a Post-It note on one of the many computer screens that read, "Tony. You gave me the day off tomorrow. Please don't blow up the house." It wasn't too late in the day, but she knew he wouldn't be up in his office until at least noon tomorrow.

Punching in a number code, followed by a fingerprint scan, she spoke before closing the office door so it locked behind her, "Good night Jarvis."

Finally, she picked up her keys and bag, then stepped out the front door, doing the same procedure as before. She walked briskly across the drive to her car, pulling the clip out of her red hair so it cascaded around her shoulders.


"I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all?"
