DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams HP 2/2

Looking up at him again, all she could manage between light sobs was, "No... no, it's my... no..."

Then, as he spoke again, a warmth grew inside of her. They were both in an incredible amount of danger, and yet they both felt exactly the same. Eleyna couldn't help but smile... She longed that things could've been different. That she and Gabe could have discovered eachother long before this had happened. But, despite her wishes, she was still glad that she didn't have to be here... waiting in fear... alone. Gabe was with her. "Gabe, I... I feel... that's how I feel, too... I mean, god, I'm just... I'm so scared right now, but... but, I... I'm so, so happy that you're here with me. I meant what I said before. About... about not wanting to... lose you."

Gabe looked up again, and brought his hand up to Eleyna's face. For a moment, he didn't say anything, tracing the line of Eleyna's jaw with his hand. Then he spoke, his voice rough as he fought back the tears in his eyes.

"So..so did I. I don't want to lose you, Eleyna. And..right now, there's nowhere else I'd rather be."

Gabe swallowed again.

"You're...you're the most important thing to me. I...I..."

Gabe was leaning towards Eleyna as he spoke, the emotions he was feeling so powerful that he was having trouble articulating them. He took a shuddering breath and then gave up, leaning in until he was practically nose to nose with Eleyna. Gently, he tilted his head slightly and then paused for a moment, a silent question in his eyes. 'Is this OK?' Then he completed his movement, leaning in and kissing her. This was a more gentle kiss than the previous one, when he had been tense with worry and crying. It was soft, and oddly more total, as if Gabe was committing himself to something by it. The slight taste of blood from Gabe's recently cut lip only heightened the strange feeling of some agreement being made..'Whatever happens now, I will stand by Eleyna. I'm not going to be parted from her by anyone, save Eleyna herself.'

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Of course her sense of style doesn't allow her to do it simple and the movement is acmpanied by a dramatic coat flapping spin before she hits the table.

"Beautiful," Lorenzo said admiringly. Based on the way Lorenzo said it, it would be incertain if he was commenting on the power, the spin move, or Jen herself . . . maybe all three.

"Sorry for the glass Kyle but I wanted to be sure it's still there. The first time was then I was helping my mom in the kitchen and cut myself. Nothing happened then either. I just don't know how much damage this mutant power thing can take. And I don't want to try it out by pointing a gun at me. Not that a gun seems like such a bad idea then I think of AM cops and Sentinels. I feel like I'm caught in some old movie, this stuff just can't be happening."

"It's happening . . . ," Lorenzo said. "and I agree with you that power is something you would have to be very careful of to test its limits. No reason to look for that kind of trouble . . ."

"At least we can't be in trouble for cutting class now, since everyone's been sent home," Lorenzo said, trying to look on the bright side.

She just slides into a chair blinks softly and gives him a smile that could mean about anything.

"It's happening . . . ," Lorenzo said. "and I agree with you that power is something you would have to be very careful of to test its limits. No reason to look for that kind of trouble . . ."

"At least we can't be in trouble for cutting class now, since everyone's been sent home," Lorenzo said, trying to look on the bright side.

This makes her grin.

"Thanks for the reminder but I guess I would have noticed it if the back of my hand would be sticked with shards by now. But there's more, watch this."

She holds her open hand over a single shard and with a soft noise it shatters into three more pieces without her even touching it. There was just a hint of moving air under her hand the the kinetic energy travelled through the distance.

"Well that' hardly enough to do more than that. I think it gets stronger the harder the first hit was but again that's not something I want to try out the hard way."

"I don't know.. your powers are way more impressive than mine, but you got to admit that the problem at hand won't be fixed by them." Kyle sighs as he finishes up the touches on his id and looks to the others. "I mean it's not like we can just break them out and dash for the border. It's a couple states away and there is definitely going to be patrols of sentinels between here and there." Frowns as he taps his counter top and looks pensive. "I wish I knew what to do, before the city wide lock down, I was just going to hop into my uncles caddy, have one of you stay in the car with the windows up and go try and bluff them for their custody. Reckless, possibly stupid, but only risking myself mostly. Now, I'm stumped. I'm used to doing small scale payback not bigtime social statements. And.. I don't like risking others in my plans, call it a personality flaw."

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Lorenzo inspected the broken shards and glass dust, nodding his head in approvement. He then plopped down on the sofa and leaned way back, looking to get completely relaxed - this was how he thought best, or second best. Lorenzo had alway prided himself on his ability to think when someone was trying to pin trouble on him.

"How about we stick with the small picture for now then, Kyle?" Lorenzo asked. It just wasn't like Kyle to get all weirded out like this, Lorenzo had always seen him being so proactive. The day was definitely stressing him out. "They aren't in some maximum security facility yet, and probably would be for a couple of days. That's plenty of time to pull something off. But we need to determine what we have to work with . . . "

"Looks like Jen can break glass without hurting herself and can shatter stuff - that's cool. You seem to be ableto change your appearance, that could definitely come in handy, and is great for misdirection. Plus, you're a computer freak and I work at a computer superstore - sounds like match for trouble, as it has in the past. Next step, focus . . . Can you see any powers on me?"

"I don't see how, that's the problem, Lorenzo, I can send in a request as the agent I remember, but.. " He flushes and looks back at the id, waiting for an image to put it. "Never done it.. the shapeshifting on purpose, I kept getting all bent up about.. <cough> someone and that is what triggers it.. kinda embarrasing really. And definitely not improving my status with said person."

Eleyna Robertson

"You're...you're the most important thing to me. I...I..."

...Then he completed his movement, leaning in and kissing her. This was a more gentle kiss than the previous one, when he had been tense with worry and crying. It was soft, and oddly more total, as if Gabe was committing himself to something by it. The slight taste of blood from Gabe's recently cut lip only heightened the strange feeling of some agreement being made...

Drowning in Gabe's eyes as he spoke, Eleyna was unable to form words. Her smile must have been reply enough for Gabe, though, because soon he was kissing her. At first, she simply let him kiss her, but the moment took her and then she returned it. She wasn't going to lose him now. Not if she could do anything about it. For a brief few moments, he had allowed her to forget everything that had happened today, everything in her life that was horrible. She wanted nothing more than to stay there, in his embrace, where she felt safe.

When he eventually pulled away, she looked at him, smiling, and softly whispered... "Wow."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

When he eventually pulled away, she looked at him, smiling, and softly whispered... "Wow."

For a few moments, Gabe just let himself drown in the kiss. He felt the exhaustion fall away from him, and even the pain in his head disappeared. Eventually, regretfully, Gabe pulled away. His eyes were shining, and as Eleyna spoke he stroked her cheek with his thumb and echoed her whisper.

"Wow."

A smile broke across Gabe's face; big, uncontrollable, and totally out of place when surrounded by people intent on incarcerating the two of them. But he didn't care. To Eleyna, he actually looked less tired and beaten, the sparkle back in his eyes. Gabe didn't say anything more, just gently stroked her cheek and smiled, his gaze not leaving her face.

(OOC: Nuke, just for reference; at the moment, Gabe's got no plans to resist the cops...unless they try and separate him and Eleyna. At that point, he'll try and stop them using any and all means at his disposal. Which could get..icky.)

Kyle Graham hp 2/2

Kyle pauses and looks over at Lorenzo. "I don't suppose you know anyone who has the specs on the AM's mutant detection gear?" Kyle's dour demeanor is gone and in it's place is the wicked smile which usually shows up JUST before something explodes in a shower of white powered to someone who is mean or 'wicked' by Kyle's judgement. "I think I got an angle that might work, but I'll need to know how the system works or at least what sorta output it's looking for. You know.. specs, I won't be able to come up with a jammer, but I MIGHT be able to come up with something just as good."

Kyle pauses and looks over at Lorenzo. "I don't suppose you know anyone who has the specs on the AM's mutant detection gear?"

Lorenzo checked his pockets, while still leaning back in the couch relaxing. "Nope, musta left them in my other jeans . . . guess that means we'' have to steal one. Will that work? Or maybe you can surf the net for the spec's online, from someplace more secure than your uncles, - I'm sure that somebody's got them. Maybe Ebay!"

Lorenzo laughed and smiled, happy with his jokes - though still serious enough to give it a try.
