DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Whitmyer Shopping Village
Gunshots could continue to be heard outside of the truck. Two different officers climbed into the truck and shut the doors behind them. They then moved towards Andrew and Catherine. They continued to strap them into the seats in the truck. As they strapped and locked down their chests, legs, arms and hands Catherine become even more upset. She was near hysteria and her words could hardly be heard. It was clear she could not handle the idea that she was a mutant. Finally, she began to cry less and her breathing became more controlled. Once she was calm enough to speak she asked one of the officers a question. "Sir, if I am a mutant will they kill me?"

Without hesitating the officer working on her restraints answered. "Yes, that's possible. Not all mutants are killed though, just the dangerous ones."

Catherine spoke again. "What if I'm not a dangerous mutant but I still want them to?"

The officer paused for a moment. "I don't know. We'll have to wait and see what happens."

The officer who had just finished Andrew's restraints called over his radio. "Suspects are secured and ready for transport." With that the powerful engine of the truck came to life and it slowly began to move away.



Corey continued to watch as Sammy (at least he was pretty sure that was still Sammy) soared through the air as the police shot at him. A small crowd was begining to gather around Corey and he started to panic. However, he quickly noticed that none of the people were paying any attention to him, all eyes were on the bright form of Sammy.


Sammy was rather proud of how well he was dodging the gunfire of the police. He kept his eyes on the SWAT officers who were setting up what looked like a big cannon. His best guess was that they were just about done with it. He eyed the SWAT truck and then the cannon again. Before he really made up his mind what he was going to do, he found himself flying past the cops towards the SWAT team and their truck.




Kyle's Family's Home
As Kyle stood in the doorway the most adorable face he could remember seeing turned to smile at him. "Kyle!" She yelled as she leapt at him and wrapped her arms around his body. She felt very soft and smelled amazing. He had no idea people could smell that good. Then he realized he did not know who this cute girl in his arms was. She stepped back from him and jumped up slightly once as she spoke.

"I'm so glad you're home. We just got here late last night and I was really hoping I would see you and then I heard that school was cancelled and then I saw you and some people walk inside! This is so cool, I can't belive I'm here with you! You really look cute!" She blushed slightly at the last comment. It was almost as if she could not control the fact that she was talking nonstop not to mention what she was saying.

In Kyle's bedroom Lorenzo and Jen could hear talking but they could not make out any of the words. It sounded like a young girl. From their comfortable positions on Kyle's bed, both of their heads cocked slightly trying to make out what was going on downstairs.






S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Residential Area
The cop didn't seem interested in anything else they said. He continued to work on what looked like a medical monitor, for the next few minutes. Then it was obvious to everyone on the truck that it was slowing down and turning. It stopped for about a minute before continuing slowly and then coming to a complete stop. The engine died and what sounded like large doors could be heard moving. The back truck doors swung open and 4 armed guards came into the truck. They checked the collars on Gabe and Eleyna and then began to unstrap them. Once out of the chairs, restraints were placed on their hands, large metal cups that covered their hands past their wrists. Then they all stepped out of the truck and began to lead the 2 kids down a hallway.

The halls were brightly lit and appeared to be metal, similar to the floors and ceiling. The smell in the air was odd. Like a mix between a car garage and a gym. There were not many people in the halls and they were all guards or cops or SWAT. The cop who had been talking to them on the ride was off to the side handing over a pile of papers to a man in a more formal looking uniform. He was looking directly at Gabe and Eleyna as they were escorted into small rooms. For the first time that day, they had been separated.

As they were led through the corridors of wherever the truck had taken them, Gabe kept glancing at Eleyna; whether he was attempting to reassure her or to reassure himself was uncertain. 'Where are we? And what are they going to do now?'As he was escorted into the room, Gabe began to struggle against the cops, casting frantic looks at where Eleyna was being escorted elsewhere. "No! Let me...damn you!" Predictably, the teen's struggles were not enough to dislodge his guards, though his struggling showed no sign of ceasing despite this fact. Gabe fought against the cops, trying to strike out with his restrained hands, and kicking at their legs. 'I can't let them! I can't!
 

Sammy Donaldson

Sammy was rather proud of how well he was dodging the gunfire of the police. He kept his eyes on the SWAT officers who were setting up what looked like a big cannon. His best guess was that they were just about done with it. He eyed the SWAT truck and then the cannon again. Before he really made up his mind what he was going to do, he found himself flying past the cops towards the SWAT team and their truck.


Sammy was amazed in the back of his mind that he was up in the air......and on fire! He just was not able to let go of it. He could see down infront of him a group of SWAT officers working frantic to complete a large gray cannon, they would look up at him, yell something.....look back at the cannon, again and again...Sammy could see the fear in their eyes as he came toward them and their machine. Sammy had been dodging bullets left and right pretty well. While he turned and headed for the truck area he tried harder and harder to pick up speed. He could hear bullets (at least he was pretty sure they were shooting bullets) Sizzling and wizzing past one right after another increasing the closer he had got. He known Andrew and Catherine were in truck, he had also known he didn't know them that well at all, especially enough to risk his own life. But, he wasn't on fire 10 minutes ago either so, what the hey, right. The only bad part is he didn't know were in the truck they were or if Sammy hit the truck would it melt, or would it hurt him? Or would it hurt Andrew and Catherine? Not to mention a totally large cannon being sportingly put together to try to destroy him. As Sammy was coming down he spotted Corey just watching with another crowd of people.........."RUUUUUN COREY!!"

"Two with one shot!" Sammy cried out as he had grabbed the barrel of the cannon,
hoping if he throw it into the drivers cab hard enough it would disable the driver and burn an escape for those two while he flew up and out and back to his truck.

"Kill?!? We are American, both. Havn't you ever heard of the constitutianal chart. Every American is born equal. And I am born just equal as you. You have no right to kill us or put us in prison. I am an American, proud of being one, and I have done no crime... nor she has."

Andrew seems not very happy, but he doesn't try to free himself... not now. He watch over is captors, and wait for them to look away to try to free himself.

"Uh.. hi.. let's try this again." smiles shyly, a blush creeping upwards towards his ears. "I'm Kyle and you are?" :Who is this girl?:

Gabe fought against the cops, trying to strike out with his restrained hands, and kicking at their legs...

Eleyna was furious. The officer wasn't even listening to them anymore. He had made his hateful comments, and then tuned them out. Not only was the man ignorant, he had made a concious choice to live that way! Her eyes wandered to Gabe, whose face reflected a hardened anger. He was most likely as angry as she, but somehow he had managed to hold himself back. Probably, he was making the smarter choice by not escalating the tension in the van.

The silence was suffocating. She wanted to talk to Gabe, to sooth his troubled mind, to hear his voice comforting her. But she didn't want to speak with the A-M officer standing right there either. Instead, she sat in her restraints, brooding in silent misery. 10 or 15 minutes, he said. How long are they gonna keep us? Time crawled by...

When the truck finally slowed, she felt a certain amount of relief. The waiting was over, and soon, at the very least, she would be in a cell or something with Gabe. She figured they would probably be left alone together for awhile. It took less than a minute for the officers to shatter that hope as well. As they were escorted in different directions, she watched in agony as Gabe started struggling... fighting for the two of them to be together. She was worried for him, as she knew he was for her. He's so sweet. But if he keeps that up, they'll hurt him, maybe even kill him. She called out to him. "Gabe! Please stop! Please! They'll hurt you if you don't. Everything's gonna be alright, okay? It'll be alright." As she spoke, Eleyna wasn't so sure her last sentence was meant only for him.

Gabe struggled against the men, fighting furiously..until Eleyna spoke. Gabe twisted against his escort, meeting Eleyna's eyes. Raw fury at their separation, and at the men holding him twisted his face and blazed in his eyes, until he saw the worry on Eleyna's face. Then he abruptly stopped struggling, and he seemed to slouch in on himself as the fight went out of him. His face went from angry to unhappy and anguished. Silently, still looking at Eleyna, Gabe mouthed two words as he was taken out of sight. "I'm sorry.." 'I said I'd stay with her. Well done, Gabe. Can't even manage that.'

She wanted to cry, when she saw his struggling come to an abrupt stop. In a way, she felt they had been defeated. But Eleyna knew that he would be badly hurt if he continued to fight. All the A-M officers needed (wanted?) was a reason, and Gabe would be severely beaten or killed. One less mutant to worry about, right guys?

She wanted to cry, but instead Eleyna smiled faintly, shaking her head. "It's not your fault."

Lorenzo smiled and ran his hand through his dark brown hair, in a motion of being slightly confused. He checked the door to make certain it was open just a crack – so both could hear if something were happening downstairs. Lorenzo then sat on the bed, adjacent to the way Jennifer was currently laying on it, reclining back on his elbows.

“Of course, I’m not really interested in my worth, Jen, and your worth . . . well, they can’t even put a number to something like that,” Lorenzo said turning to her. “But a girl who can think on her feet . . . or off of them,” Lorenzo winked, “is funny, relaxed, and tough as well – that’s something to treasure. And that’s not even talking about cool abilities. Who knows, maybe Catherine’s been detained for the mutant ability to be a pain in the rear.”

Lorenzo chuckled at the thought, then got serious for a moment – realizing that he wouldn’t wish that on anyone – at least the detained part. Lorenzo shook it off, then leaned in closer to Jennifer.

“I’m not even certain about my abilities – hope it’s not the ability to get women into bed with him . . . wait . . . hey, it’s working!!” Lorenzo added with a grin.

"Wow, the power to get girls into bed with you? I bet most boys would kill for that."

She moves closer to his side.

"You know, you say the nicest things and manage to act like you mean it. I allmost believe you."

Jen's face is right in front of his and Lorenzo can see her eyes sparkling. With her it ain't sure if she will move those few inches closer to kiss him or if she will hit him with a pillow a second before that.
And then there's the voice from below preventing us from finding out what would have happened next.
Her head snaps back as she tries to listen to the conversation below.

"You think it's police?"
she whispers to Lorenzo.

There's an entire swat team shooting at him and he's worried about ME? Corey couldn't suppress a wry smile. That's definitely still Sammy up there. Whoa, now he's flying right at them! Is he bulletproof too?


Then someone bumped him, and Corey realized he was getting closed in. Oh crap, I already got stuck in one crowd today, it's not happening again. It's not like I can do anything to help him against that firing squad. With that thought, Corey turned and started heading towards the mall and out of the crowd. His progress was slowed his constant head-turning to watch the fight.
