David sniffed the air. He couldn't discern anything through the grime of the house. "Does she know where we live?" He asked, glancing around the room as if to make sure Sam wasn't just sitting out of sight.
If you were wondering, this isn't telepathy. Well, it is, but it's a bit different. It will be easier to explain when we meet in person. The point is, I'm here to help you get David back, and keep a great evil from returning to the world. You're unique powers are exactly what will save us all. The first thing you need to do is find David. Make him know where you are.

Sam stood a little straighter, her eyes adjusting to the room slowly. It was a study, or someplace that used to be one. A tack board was propped against one wall, countless papers and pins layered its surface. Books, boxes and file folders were piled in mounds in every other available space. The shadow of a desk loomed from one far corner, but it too was buried beneath layers of clutter.
"That's all well and good, but I don't know where I am, let alone where he is," she whispered softly as she tried to tip toe around the stacks. "He could be anywhere in the country by the looks of that speedster."
She didn't know what to say about the disembodied voice's assessment of her abilities, other than to outright deny such a claim. Sam shook her head to stop herself from wilting at her own disheartening thoughts. Now was not the time to be pitiful.
Stepping lightly, she managed to work through half the room, slipping along a narrow path, before the dust made her sneeze. She tried to hold it in, but in her hurry to muffle it, she bumped one of the stacks. The unstable tower crumpled as she tried to catch it, causing several of the boxes to hit the floor with a dull thud. Cringing, she froze as the papers resettled on or around her.
. . . Then grab my hand and hold me close. Save me from this earthly dose.

That will work. The voice said humorously.
David looked up towards the ruckus. He looked at Sumina. "Stay here. If the cops show up, get them to leave." He said before bolting towards the noise. He weaved his way through the hallways, the closer he got to Sam, the more he could smell her and the easier she was to find. David found her standing frozen with her back to him. He got low, then pounced on her. At first it seemed like an attack, but it turned out he was actually hugging her. "Sam! Oh my god, I can't believe it! What are you doing here?" David asked quietly.

For the second time in as many minutes Sam made that high pitched girly squeak of surprise when she was grabbed from behind and nearly knocked to the ground. At first, as she adjusted her footing to stay upright, she thought it might be the mystery voice, but when she heard David's voice, she tensed and breathed out the scream she had prepared. Turning in his arms to look at his face, she looked disbelieving.
"David?" she asked weakly, her hands shaking as she reached up and hugged him back. "I thought I'd never see you again," she said softly, trying to fight the tears of happiness that threatened to spill. It was just so unexpected to find him here. After all the fuss, she imagined the brotherhood had secreted him away in some cave far from civilization while they did horrible things to make him forget who he was. "I'm so sorry about everything. I tried," she trailed off, unable to really voice everything in her relief.
"Did she come this way?" she heard from the open window, from down below. Sam tensed and looked towards it, feeling like any moment the police would look inside.
"Jake had police chase me, because he didn't like that I denied him," she whispered. "I hope the others got away alright."
. . . Then grab my hand and hold me close. Save me from this earthly dose.

David glanced out the window at the officers. "It's fine. They can't come in without a warrant anyway. You're safe for the time being." David said, lifting her chin up with his hand. He smiled at her, as he always did. "That wasn't you. Simple as that." He said. "Look, as much as I want to catch up, I'm kind of undercover here now."

It took his touch on her face to bring Sam's gaze from the window to meet his eyes. She blushed, but was thankful the room was so dark, because she couldn't get it to fade. Part of her wanted to argue, that it didn't matter that it wasn't her, because it was still her that had caused so much trouble, right mind or not. But the conviction in his tone made the rebuttal die on her tongue.
"Under cover?" she asked instead.

"Yeah. When Sabertooth knocked me out, he also damaged my memory. When I woke up I was in a cave with Sumina and Quicksilver. And recently... I heard a voice in my head and my memory came back." David said, revealing he'd also heard the voice. "Look, I think if I work a little bit at it, I can convince Sumina to join us instead of fight us. I know you don't want to hear that because of everything she's done, but she's vindictive, not evil. I need to get back down to her before she finds out you're here. The police have gone, so you should be able to make it back to the institute." David said, ruffling Sam's hair. "I'll be back at the institute within the week. But don't tell anyone. Sumina can read minds." David said before returning downstairs. "False alarm. An open window let wind in and it knocked over some books." He said to Sumina.
There. Now you know I'm on your side. Now I need you to come to the hospital. You'll be looking for room 130. The voice said. The voice had only directed Sam to David to show her who's side he was on.

Sam was stunned by the quickest exchange they had ever had. The only thing that stopped her from following him was that he said he would be back. She didn't know about Sumina tagging along with him, but she didn't voice her doubts towards his plan, knowing when he had his heart set on a goal. It was amazing to her how little power she had to argue with him.
With a sigh, she nodded that she wouldn't say anything about it to anyone. It was all too obvious what would happen if she did. Besides, Sam knew that if anyone could keep a secret from a telepath, it was her. And the added satisfaction of knowing something Sumina didn't pleased her in a way she wanted to be ashamed of, but wasn't. Waiting until he was out of sight, Sam turned back towards the window. Peeking over the sill, she scanned the area just to be sure, but the way looked clear. The police had moved on.
Then the same voice whispered in her mind again and she jumped at the intrusion. After hearing a real voice, it was easier to notice the difference. She wanted to be pleased about it, having always wanted to be able to communicate with mistress Jean like the others, but it was too weird a sensation to feel too excited.
"So you talked to him too huh?" she murmured as she slowly climbed onto the fire escape. "What's at the hospital?" Carefully, she slipped down the bars til she dangled on the ladders end. Letting go, she fell the ten or so feet to land lightly on all fours.
. . . Then grab my hand and hold me close. Save me from this earthly dose.

Sam stopped mid step, the two words replaying softly in her mind.
"And who are you?" she asked as she started walking again. Reaching the end of the street, she looked around the brick building to see if the coast was clear. Aside from the normal busy street crowds, she didn't see any police so proceeded to melt into the bustling streams of people. As always, no one noticed her. If she judged right, the hospital was only about a half miles walk from where she was.

Jean Grey
Every couple of weeks, Jean Grey visited the Westminster hospital to spend some time with an old, dear friend. She'd been doing so for the past ten years. Early in the morning, right as the hospital was starting to allow visitors, she would leave the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters and walk through the city to the hospital. She signed in, walked the halls until she found her friend's room, and stayed until visiting hours ended. Today was no different. Jean sat in a chair beside the hospital bed, one hand curled lightly around the pale hand of the figure lying there while the machines to which the convalescent was connected beeped. "Oh, Charles, we need you back home. I know, I know. Perhaps I'm being too wishful. Too needy. I know you did what you did to protect us, but without you there to help...I'm just not able to protect my students--my family--as well as you were," she sighed.

I was in charge of the Institute before Jean was. In fact, I was one of the people who started the institute in the first place, along with a dear friend of mine. Now please, you must make haste. Time is short.

Sam's pace quickened without her being fully aware of it. Her eyes were alert for any threat from police, or even Jake and his goons, but no one bothered her as the hospital came into view. She was in awe of its size, having never been to one so big before, wanting to linger on the pristine lawns and the simmering fountains. But the voice had urged her to be quick and she was more than a little curious about its owner. The founder of the Institute?
The inside of the building was clean, smelled of disinfectant, colored in light tans and blues and held a cheery air, but beneath that Sam could sense sickness and death. A hospital is a place of healing, but it was also a place of mortality. Taking a slow breath, she put a lid on her power. She had been practicing not letting her power leak at the slightest provocation and now would be a good time to put it to the test.
Sam got directions from the nice receptionist when she stepped inside and a few moments later she was standing outside room 130. She fidgeted just outside. Should she knock first?

 Sumina Sumina felt Sam's mind in the house as she followed David's up there. She frowned at herself. She hadn't been paying attention and this had slipped past her. She turned and sat correctly on the couch, crossing her legs as she waited for David to get back. She could feel something different was happening was happening in his mind behind the walls. It wasn't the confused fuzziness that had been there. "What did Sam say? And why was she so quick to leave?" She asked, watching David with cold eyes. She had a feeling his memory had returned. If not then Sam would still be here trying to drag him back to the Institute. Sumina reached out and pulled on the minds of the two closest people, commanding them to come to the brotherhood house and wait in the kitchen. David would most likely hear it, but all the better. It was her plan b if he didn't do what she wanted.

 Vincent Michaels
Vincent shifted, walking down the street not far from the hospital. He exhaled, his gaze shifting around cautiously. He had a feeling something was here that some of them needed to see, but he wasn't sure what it was. He concentrated and felt his vision shift into shades of blue and teal. He was somewhat surprised because when he'd used this trick before it had seemed as if his vision became telescopic to a certain extent; this time, however, it seemed as if something else happened as well. He shifted his gaze slightly, seeing a brilliant golden white aura in one of the rooms of the hospital as well as a weaker bluish purple one. He realized it was Jean... with someone else. He noticed fine threads of the same bluish purple aura extending through the air as his gaze followed them and cocked his head, sensing Sam's clear pinkish white aura and David's deep golden bronze aura as well as an odd pale gold aura he didn't recognize. He crouched slightly, pushing off into a loping stride as he headed for the hospital, focusing on that bluish purple aura he saw while making a conscious effort to block out the other 'normal' blue auras of everyone else. His eyes narrowed as he turned a corner before he was engulfed in a gust of ice that shattered, revealing he'd vanished. He heard a cracking before the ice shattered and dissolved around him, revealing Sam several feet to his left. "So you were pulled here as well... seems Jean's in there... with someone else," he said wryly.
OOC - Please do NOT ignore my posts.... it is one of the few things in roleplaying that truly pisses me off and makes me decide to quit a certain roleplay. Kaosujin Ryu  James 'Logan' Howlette - Wolverine Logan shrugged. "Don' matter ta me, though if ya think ya can screw with us... kinda obvious what the result is, considerin' our past, Victor," he said dryly, shifting one shoulder. "I know it was Vincent who got ya with that ice of his... don' think even he realizes just what kinda potential he has," he said dryly, half turning away.
