DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

Jennifer Allen

Lorenzo really tried to settle his stomach and thought 'Kyle's got some wierd mental powers if he can put thoughts in my head - pretty cool though.'

Lorenzo smiled let the thought of the cafeteria run through his mind. "Then again, maybe we don't want to know what's going on in the lunch lady's mind - just, wrong, man, way, way wrong!" Lorenzo said as he snickered. Lorenzo looked over to Jennifer to get her reaction and thought, 'I wonder if he can put thoughts in her head too?'

Jen was staring out of the window without much interst but the conversation draws her attention back in with a snap. Talk about reading minds can only get her into trouble. And then there's that little something that Kyle said.
To Lorenzo she looks relaxed, grinning as if she's not the least but surprised about Kyle's words.
In fact she isn't, she's used to get that reaction from boys. But still she's thinking frantically of what to make of it. If he's interested in her it's so much more likely he won't give up on that mutant thing until he's proven it and that's just terrific. On the other hand it could make it so much more easy to stir him into other directions.

"So you guys found something interesting? I just hope if the coach realy knew you're a mutant he didn't put it on the server, couldn't the feds just read it then?"

Corey Vinyard

Whitmyer Shopping Village
Sammy pulled into the mall parking lot and easily found a space. The mall had only opened minutes earlier and shoppers had not flocked to it yet. Sammy and Corey got out and headed into the food court entrance. Sammy stopped briefly as he stepped inside, a smile crossing his face. It was official now, they had successfully skipped school, nothing could ruin their day.

Sammy and Corey both failed to notice the police car drive by the mall entrance as they walked inside.

As they go into the food court entrance of the mall, Corey glances around. "Hmm.. Sammy, I think those girls you were looking for are mostly in school right now." He looks around the food court considering his options. "Howabout we both grab some food and meet up over there." Corey says, gesturing at an out of the way table. Assuming Sammy agrees, he walks over to Chic-fil-a. Looking at the cashier, he suddenly grows self-conscious about being in the mall when he obviously looks like someone that should be in school. "Um, could I get a chicken biscuit and some OJ?"

I can't believe I'm wandering around the mall in the middle of a school day. I've never done anything like this before.

"So you guys found something interesting? I just hope if the coach realy knew you're a mutant he didn't put it on the server, couldn't the feds just read it then?"

"Look Jen, I'm sorry I said that.. it was kinda outa line I reckon, but as for the whole computer thing, I was maybe hoping for a clue or something. I didn't think it would be as easy as logging in and find 'Coach's big-list-o-mutants' if you mean that, but he clearly has some interest in a bunch of people." Kyle looks back, taking great care not to meet Jennifer's gaze and apparently he's been blushing. "Lorenzo, who all did you hear the coach tell to leave? I could use some more names to cross with the last few years gen-scan visits."

"Lorenzo, who all did you hear the coach tell to leave? I could use some more names to cross with the last few years gen-scan visits."

"Man, I had heard something slam by the coach's office, and went to check it out," Lorenzo replied. "The coach was standing there and said something like . . . 'today's not a day to get noticed, isn't there somewhere else you want to be' or something like that. Eleyna and Gabe were close by talking about something, but they split together and didn't want to have me hanging with them - never would of put those two together . . . . But that's all I know - I'm all for your theories, bud, but only once you've got something."

When talking of what the coach said, Lorenzo puffed out his chest and pretended to be the coach while he said it.

"Would have been nice to have seen something like that... but anyway, it's not happening so I quess I'll just go with my name and see how it goes out." Grins at Lorenzo with a classic Kyle smartass smile. "Since I'm the mutant an all. Anyway, was hoping for more clues since the more data you have the better a trend you can spot."


OOC: looking for the days of the Gene scans and looking for names in common for being out or missing each time. Most assuredly waiting on the GM for thatt. Feel free to jump in and keep the talking going though.. this is fun

Whitmyer High School
Catherine simply stood before Andrew and looked back at him, no real expression on her face. Then slowly, she started to smile again, that look that Andrew loved where her eyes seemed to sparkle. "Okay, I'll meet you but I don't know how long it will take." She leaned up and kissed him, squeezed his hand and then ran off to join her class.

Andrew stood in the hall for a minute thinking about the conversation he just had. After everything had sunk in he made his way to his locker and then out the doors for the field across the street. Once out the doors he saw two teachers standing near the driveway. They were talking to each other but stopped and looked up as Andrew walked out the doors.

Whitmyer Shopping Village
Sammy was in his element. Corey may have felt a bit out of place at this time of day but Sammy could live at the mall and never feel guilt over it. The boys ordered food and met back at their table. They talked and joked and finally Corey began to feel more at ease. Really what was there to be scared of, it was just the mall. Sammy perked up as a couple of saleswomen from one of the department stores walked through the food court. They were laughing and talking to each other and looked very beautiful while doing it. The boys enjoyed the scenery and their meal and both failed to notice the two police officers who walked into the building.

Eleyna's Car
It seamed to both Eleyna and Gabe that events in the car had taken hours. About seven minutes had passed. The two would most likely have held one another for hours, the stress form the morning overwhelming them and making sleep a very attractive idea. However, both were startled to hear car horns and emergency vehicles. They looked out the drivers side window at the usually busy Whipple Ave. to see that all traffic had been blocked off. Two police cars and an ambulance were at the scene and from what the kids could tell a large semi truck had blown all of it's tires, lost control and slammed into both lanes of oncoming traffic. The scene was intense and they had a front row view from their spot in the parking lot. Gabe froze momentarily, feeling very on display. The feeling passed as he realized that no one was interested in them at all. Eleyna began to brace herself, anticipating the feeling of pain that was about to hit her body, however it never happened.

The Allen Home
Kyle was pretty excited to find a listing of Med Scan visits to the school for the past six years. That excitement quickly vanished when attendance records for the last six years showed perfect attendance on those dates. It just didn't seem to make sense. Jennifer seemed relieved that the hunt was over but Lorenzo asked Kyle to look closer at the dates. After slowly scanning through each month of the med scan they noticed that last year Eleyna Robertson was absent the week of the scan with a doctor's excuse. The strange thing was that according to the records she came back to school for the scan and was off the rest of the week. Very possible but not likely for a school kid to come in for one day when they have an excuse off.

Lorenzo began to back track in his head and remembered that last year was when Eleyna started missing a lot of school and her mood (and grades) started changing. He looked over at Jennifer to see if she could read his mind.

Kyle frowns at that. "Okay, now I KNOW this is not right.. I mean, last year I was in Arizona with my aunt and uncle visiting her family. Her dad is a jerk and was like all heavy on me cause I'm not their kid and he was going on how it was not right that they didn't have any of their own." Kyle shrugs as he sits back and looks at the list, trying to figure how else could he look though these things. "Someone is playing with the figures, has to be.. I mean.. who has EVER heard of a schoold day with PERFECT attendence? I don't think it's possible, someone is always sick, slacking off or just plain skipping. Still, that shows that something is going on. I haven't seen such good trail covering since I tried to find out about my dad." He slides back with a disgruntled sigh and puts his head in his hands, clearly stumped what to do next.

Eleyna Robertson

"Never going to happen."

Squeezing him tighter as Gabe said this, Eleyna finally began to calm down. She became calm enough, in fact, to hear the sounds of sirens extremely close to her car. What the hell?

She slowly pulled away from Gabe, and observed the chaotic scene taking place just outside her car. It looked like a semi had crashed into both lanes of traffic - the apparent cause being that it had blown its tires... all of them! "What happened? Did you see what happened, Gabe? Was that.. ummm... did you do that? Did I make you do that?" A panic started to rise in her, that she may have somehow caused him to trigger his mutant power.

Andrew walks to the field, saying hello to both teacher, than ignoring them. His way to walk have no hesitation, just as some work was waiting him on the field.

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

She slowly pulled away from Gabe, and observed the chaotic scene taking place just outside her car. It looked like a semi had crashed into both lanes of traffic - the apparent cause being that it had blown its tires... all of them! "What happened? Did you see what happened, Gabe? Was that.. ummm... did you do that? Did I make you do that?" A panic started to rise in her, that she may have somehow caused him to trigger his mutant power.

"Wh-huh?"

Was Gabe's considered response. He looked up and focused on the scene around them, eyes widening in surprise.

"What the...uh, no, I didn't see it. I was...uh...preoccupied."

Gabe flushed slightly as he spoke, but Eleyna's next words made him sit up, the denial out of his mouth before he'd really thought about it. Without thinking about it, he put his hands on either side of Eleyna's head and touched his forehead to hers, his next words coming more quietly.

"No! No, Eleyna...you didn't have a hand in that. I didn't do it. I'd know."

Gabe drew his head back slightly, looking Eleyna in the eyes. His hands remained where they were.

"Don't...don't think like that. Being with you..it feels like I'm more in control. Like I can deal with my...my abilities. You're not making me randomly destroy stuff or anything, so don't...don't...well, don't think you are. I..I couldn't handle you feeling any more guilt because..because of me. Whatever happened just now, it wasn't your fault, and it wasn't something I've done."

Gabe focused on the situation, his instinctive response done with, and noticed what he was doing. He quietly flushed as he let his hands drop, and glanced away.
