Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

"It doesn't seem right to just.. watch them get taken away like.. criminals for the crime of existing you know."

"Kyle, no one know if someone's getting taken away. For all we know, some mutant did that to Eleyne's car . . . or it could be something else. Regardless, we aren't going to help matters other than to get in trouble right along with them," Lorenzo said. He had made up his mind, it was time to get to Kyle's uncle's house and lay low.

"Maybe when we get to your uncles you can, I don't know, maybe call and report a sighting somewhere else, or jack into their computers and make their sensors go all wacko or something," Lorenzo offered.

"I know.. just don't like it that's all." Kyle says quietly his cheerful manner pretty much gone at this point, his face clearly saying what he's thinking. That he has to just sit and watch. All the while his hand steadily twitches and 'boils' though shapes and colors.

"I know.. just don't like it that's all." Kyle says quietly his cheerful manner pretty much gone at this point, his face clearly saying what he's thinking. That he has to just sit and watch. All the while his hand steadily twitches and 'boils' though shapes and colors.

Even Jen stays silent for the moment, thinking that this can't be it and desperatly trying to come up with a solution.

"You know Kyle, you're right. We can't let them just take away our friends. And these guys may think they are big buisness but this is still our town. I got what I wanted my whole life and I'll be damned if I don't do something here.
This one time it might actually be worth the effort. Can you chek if they are arrested at mutants somehow? If they are not we can just sit back but if they are we need to find a way to bust them out."

Her eyes sparkle again then her positive attitude kicks back in. And her smile says that even though she has no idea how to pull this if she has no intention of letting that stop her from trying.

"Thanks, Jennifer. I can maybe.. hack into the police computer dispatching system, and my uncle has a radio I can tune to the police public bands... " Kyle's eyes get that unfocused look that usually leads to exploding lockers, wiped computers, and bullies being exposed in funny amusing ways. But there is something new in his eyes, something that seems to mean that the old prankster Kyle might be gone for good. Like Kyle had made a decision and in doing so his whole out look on life has changed. "Of course, I will have to come up with something on my own.. I know you guys don't buy into my whole thought on my mutant sense.. could have been a head ache or something. I'll handle the stuff on my own."

Eleyna Robertson

"Control it? I..I don't know. I've..I've never deliberately used it, in...in case."

Completely ignoring the officer, Eleyna simply stared at Gabe, trying to decipher what exactly he was doing. She knew he was attempting to trigger his... abilities. It was the "how" she couldn't quite grasp. Mesmerized, she searched his face as though it would reveal some kind of clue, allowing her to access her own... abilities. Oh, grow up, Eleyna. You are a mutant. You have powers. It's not that difficult a concept to grasp.

Eleyna's curiousity had finally trumped her fear and exhaustion. Too tired to worry about consequences, but without complete disregard for their safety, Eleyna whispered to him. "Gabe, I... I can... I can feel it. I think... I don't know, but I think I can... I know I made it happen before. I felt it then, too. I just don't know quite how to make it work now."

Eyeing the officer, with his gun pointed, she turned toward Gabe and, in a hushed tone, said to him, "We really need to get out of here. Now. I've lost almost everything today. I don't want to lose you, too."

Eleyna's curiousity had finally trumped her fear and exhaustion. Too tired to worry about consequences, but without complete disregard for their safety, Eleyna whispered to him. "Gabe, I... I can... I can feel it. I think... I don't know, but I think I can... I know I made it happen before. I felt it then, too. I just don't know quite how to make it work now."

Eyeing the officer, with his gun pointed, she turned toward Gabe and, in a hushed tone, said to him, "We really need to get out of here. Now. I've lost almost everything today. I don't want to lose you, too."

Gabe whispered in return;

"I..for me, I felt it like a..I don't know, a switch or...maybe your comparrison to...what was it, a muscle or motor function?..was better than you knew. I..I know it's there..I just don't know if I can..trip it."

He similarly eyed the cop and the state the man was in, worry crossing his face. When Eleyna spoke of having lost everything, a momentary flash of profound guilt and pain shot across his face, but was gone almost before Eleyna registered it's presence. And at Eleyna's final words, Gabe's eyes widened. He reached out and touched Eleyna's face, emotion obviously overpowering him. His voice was low, and thick with feeling.

"You won't. I promise."

Gabe's eyes flicked to the side, to the cop standing there. Gabe slowly let his hand drop again and quietly muttered:

"While that cop's there, we can't do anything. If we run...he might shoot. If I could just..."

The frown was back on Gabe's face, the one that told Eleyna he was trying to access the mysterious powers he still didn't really understand. 'If I could just replicate that blast I generated a week ago...that'd give us a chance to escape. But..how? And...what if it really hurts him?....No. That doesn't matter; worst case, it's him or...or her. And that's no decision at all. But..but I may not be able to trigger it anyway..' Straining with all his might to activate something he didn't really understand, Gabe's world narrowed to two feelings: the groping around inside his head he was doing, like feeling for a lightswitch in a pitch-dark room, and the sensation of Eleyna's hand, still held in his.

(OOC: Just like it says. If there's anything I can do with HPs to make activating my powers more likely or something, I'll do it. If I've got absolutely no idea how to activate my abilities and am having no luck with my random attempts to do..something.., I guess it'll be Plan B.)

"Nice Corey, who pissed in your corn flakes?"

Sammy laughed as he tried to relax Corey a little more.

"What are you gettin' so tense about? I'm tellin' ya' those mutant cops are flakes, they could care less if we're in school or not. Listen, if your not feeling well we can skip the food and I can go ahead and take you home now if you want. Don't matter to me. It looks like all the cool stuff is over now and we left those chicks just standing there so that idea is a lost cause."

Sammy had tried to maintain a 'coolness' about him. Between trying to get Corey to relax a bit and all these people bumping him. The crowd had grown quite a bit and it started to become compact. You'd have thought it was a small concert or like being in a crowded club. Just no room to move and frankly Sammy had gotten alittle hot around the collar with the bumping and the people. Sammy had still been looking around while waiting for Corey to decide what he wanted to do.

Man, whats with that A-M cop, it kinda seemed like he's glared at me for at least a minute or two. Maybe they do care about us not being in school. I'm not hinting the looks to Corey though. From the looks on his face the last couple of minutes he's got enough to worry about. I've never seen someone so worried about getting busted for ditching before. He'll be alright, these people pushing forward is probably on his last nerve too.

Whitmyer Shopping Village, Accident Scene
The crowd grew tense as the Police in the A-M gear began to sweep through the area. One of them began to shake his sensor and smacked the side of it once. Hi partner came over and they both looked over the device and then looked over at the crowd. They did not seem to look at anyone in particular, but everyone seemed to become very tense. A regular Police Office walked over and they explained things to him. He got on his radio and parts of his broadcast could be overheard, however the crowd was becoming nervous and louder.

"Detain all members... multiple hits on the sensors... waiting to confirm... possible mutant threat... in area"

Two more Police cars pulled up and four officers got out and moved to the back of the crowd, not allowing anyone to leave the area.




Accident Scene at Eleyna's Car
Gabe could feel things in his body reacting. It was almost like something was filling him up inside that wasn't there before. He was starting to sweat just a little bit and the cop in the ambulance noticed this and drew his gun.
"Listen kids, no one wants to hurt you. We can figure this out but you need to relax so nothing crazy happens." His hands were steady as he pointed his weapon at Gabe but he was starting to seat as well. The ambulance driver was frozen at the back of the squad, only his eyes moving.

Eleyna could feel pressure building inside her again, she knew the feeling, now, but could not seem to get ahold of, to make it do what she wanted. She could feel her heart racing as she watched Gabe, knowing what he was doing, and the Policeman.

Gabe's concentration skipped for a brief instant as he tried to accept all that was going on around him. The cop, the gun, the damage, Eleyna, he could almost deal with all of that. But now that he was searching for the trigger, his release for what he could unleash, his head was starting to swim in all of the sounds that were flooding it. TVs, radios, police and ambulance radios were all becoming clear thoughts in his head and they were all becoming much, much louder and intense.

**********************

At the end of the road Lorenzo had managed to maneuver his car around and was heading away from the scene. They were all in a panic but it seemed the plan was to regroup at Kyle's families place. Lorenzo was trying, without admitting it to himself, to see if he could notice any of the strange thoughts or feeling he had earlier but it seemed like it was all static and it was going to give him a headache if he kept it up.

As he waited for traffic to clear so he could pull out, Lorenzo could not help but let his eyes grow extremely large as a large, black truck sped past him, lights flashing as it turned the corner, waiting for no one. Lorenzo was pretty sure he never blinked but in the back of his mind the letters off the side of the truck had burned an image...

TVs, radios, police and ambulance radios were all becoming clear thoughts in his head and they were all becoming much, much louder and intense.

Gabe began shaking slightly as he released the instinctive lock he'd had on his powers (certainly his hearing based ones) since that morning. 'If I can just..Detain all members...control it...multiple hits on the sensors... hold on...waiting to confirm...got to ignore the white noise...blot it out...possible mutant threat... do something about this cop...in area...help Eleyna...'

Concentraing furiously, Gabe embraced the noise, diving into the cacophony until he though his skull would split. He pushed past it, trying to claw his way towards the deeper understand of his abilities that (he hoped) lay beyond the background noise. He forced out words between gritted teeth as his hands clenched into fists.

"Just...leave...her...leave us...ALONE!!"

Gabe screamed the last word as he thrust his hands out towards the policeman and pushed, trying desperately to hold onto the elusive feeling with him and force it upon the cop, to thrust the man away with the power he could feel within him. His vision blurred as he shouted, the sounds of the accident scene suddenly so much louder to him, voices and moans clearer, and the omnipresent police radio chatter filling his mind. But underneath it all he tried to hold on to a semblance of control, holding Eleyna's face firmly in his mind.

(OOC: If I can, Gabe's trying for a full power Energy Blast (stun damage) on the cop. What actually happens, of course, may be entirely another matter...)

"Ummmm, Corey? I believe this would fall under being somewhat...crapy. What the heck do we do now?"

Sammy skims the crowd, the A-M and beat cops, it had been hard to really see anything with so many people.

Damn, see what I get for being nosey! This is crap. They can't keep us here. I have rights! Oh, for cryin' out loud, I wish these freakin' people would quit pushing. I feel like a sheep. A hot, sweaty, sheep. I'm just not going to be able to take it....

"HEY, WOULD YOU IDIOTS PLEASE STOP PUSHING, THIS ISN'T A HILARY DUFF CONCERT YA' KNOW!!

Sammy had been to his point, he had never been one for patients.
