Lorenzo Reynolds HP's (2/2)

"Wow, the power to get girls into bed with you? I bet most boys would kill for that . . . You know, you say the nicest things and manage to act like you mean it. I almost believe you."

“There’s no ‘manage’ or ever ‘act’, Jen,” Lorenzo replied, “you are rather amazing in your own right . . . .”

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

“Nope,” Lorenzo answered, doing his best to calm her and ease her fears, “if it was, there’d be screaming and stuff. He’d warn us if there was any trouble . . . at least from downstairs. Maybe I'm in trouble . . . .”

He grinned again at the implication.

S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Whitmyer Shopping Village
Andrew's short speech was interrupted by a large 'Ka-Thunk!' against the side of the truck. All four in the compartment could feel the truck rock as it was hit and the look on all four faces showed that no one had any idea what had just happened. The temperature in the truck seemed to increase as well. Although, that could have just been from everyone's panic.

The police radio's began to broadcast. "All units, secure the suspects and do not leave your posts. SWAT truck is under attack by a mutant terrorist!"

Catherine appeared unresponsive. No matter what happened, she just whimpered and stared into space. Andrew tried to remain calm and tried not to think about what was happening outside but, his imagination proved way to powerful. The two cops made sure he and Catherine were properly locked down and then one of them moved to a computer work station mounted on the side of the wall. The other one stood by watching the two possible mutants. A strange blue light came on and flooded the area where they sat.


Sammy could not belive he just tore a cannon out of the hands of the cops and threw it at the SWAT truck! It felt like he could really do anything! Then he felt a sting and saw that the police were still shooting at him. There were more of them now and they seemed to be getting better.


Corey made his way into the mall. As he walked in the doors. looking all around to see if anyone had followed him, he noticed Sammy's truck in the parking lot. He looked back at Sammy and his fight with the police.




Kyle's Family's Home
The young girl with the bright happy face suddenly stopped and frowned. "Kyle, it's me. Amanda." Kyle was suddenly brought back to real life. No more mutants and gen-scans and government/school conspiracies. Amanda had used to live across the street and moved away 4 years ago. Her mother had gotten some kind of research job with the government that was too good to pass up. Amanda's older sister had bought the house and sometime's Kyle mowed the yard for her. He had stayed in email contact with Amanda but he never imagined that she had grown up so much. Or so well. He was almost embarrassed that he was looking at his childhood friend as a..., well as a girl.

"Kyle, are you okay? You don't look too good." She walked towards him and put her hand on his arm. Softly. "C'mon. you need to sit down. Did you come home sick today? Do you need me to get you some water or something?"


Upstairs Lorenzo suddenly topped. He could swear he heard Kyle talking to a girl.


Detention Center
It was definitely cold.

Neither Gabe or Eleyna could decide if it was the metal walls and floors or the feeling of doom but they both knew it was very cold. And quiet. There was almost no sound. This came as a bit of a relief to Gabe who had put up with way too many outside sounds in his head.

They both sat and stared at nothing. There was nothing to see in the rooms. The rooms were only about 8 x 8 and there was not a single object in them. And the weird blue light kind of gave them a headache. The same kind of light that had been in the truck. They both wondered how far they were from the other and what they could do to help the other.

A guard opened the door to Gabe's room and he was followed by an older woman dressed in hospital scrubs. She was pushing some kind of cart with a bunch of drawers on it. She approached Gabe and spoke. "Gabriel Adams. I am Doctor McCown. I am going to take a blood sample, check your vitals and hook up a monitor to make sure nothing we are doing is hurting you. Okay." It was not really a question. She had a nice, calm look to her. Like she was a teacher or someone's mom.


A guard opened the door to Eleyna's room and he was followed by a man in a suit. Just like the guys she had seen at the school. He walked towards her in a slow measured pace. "Eleyna Robertson. I have some questions for you. It seems your medical records have been tampered with. We would like to know who is involved so that this does not happen again. You just tell me who has been helping you and then I can help you out here."

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Oh hi.." blushes a bit as he remebers her. "I didn't recognize you.. you and I were.. well.. not quite so teenaged and you .. sorta bloomed." blushes a bit more. "but no.. I'm fine, just really busy right now.. had some stuff going on the house lan and didn't think that anyone would be calling after the whole thing with school and all." Winces internally at the thought of Lorenzo upstairs in his room with Jenniffer. :That's so unfair: he thought to himself as he leans against the door. "So, I thought you and your mom were gonna be gone longer."

It was definitely cold.

She pulled at her sleeves. Wish I'd've worn a longer sleeved shirt! Shivering, Eleyna sat down on the floor and pulled her knees to her chest. Arms wrapped around her legs, she clutched them, hoping that remaining tight would keep her warmer. Wishing it was someone else's arms, keeping her warm...

Gabe.

He startled her when he opened the door. When the agent entered the room, he began speaking before she could do anything but jump. Although he didn't feel entirely threatening to her, he still seemed very aggressive. Of course, she thought she knew who he was referring to, but there was no way to actually be sure Coach Shelton was involved. She covered anyways. "Helping me? With what, my mut... my powers? Look, I don't even know anything about them! I just found out, like today, that I even had these, these, these powers. I am so confused about all this... and I'm gonna be sent to a camp, right? Nobody helped me with anything. I don't... I never went to a gen-scan, alright... I was out sick from school for a while last year. Or I had doctor's appointments. That's why nobody knew. It's just coincidence, and you guys got me anyways, so what're you even worried about? Who the hell would help a mutant?"

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

A guard opened the door to Gabe's room and he was followed by an older woman dressed in hospital scrubs. She was pushing some kind of cart with a bunch of drawers on it. She approached Gabe and spoke. "Gabriel Adams. I am Doctor McCown. I am going to take a blood sample, check your vitals and hook up a monitor to make sure nothing we are doing is hurting you. Okay." It was not really a question. She had a nice, calm look to her. Like she was a teacher or someone's mom.

Gabe huddled against the wall of the room furthest from the door, his arms encircling his knees. He felt numb more than anything else, utterly drained by events,the cold of the room not even registering. 'Why am I so useless? I couldn't do anything to stop them. Anything to protect Eleyna.' Gabe didn't even look up as the others entered the room, his hunched form not acknowledging their presence...until the woman spoke. Still, he didn't move, but did respond.
"It doesn't matter if it's OK or not. You're going to do it anyway. So cut the crap and stop pretending that you give a damn about my welfare."
Gabe's voice was almost frighteningly devoid of feeling, a flat monotone with a faint hint of bitterness behind it. Silently, he closed his eyes, resting his head on his knees, passively waiting for the woman to perform her tests. 'I'm just so tired...' For a moment, his hands clenched as an image of Eleyna in the same situation, being subjected to the same tests, flashed through his mind, the anger flaring again, but he forced it down. 'Not now. Not yet. Wait...wait and see.'

Corey Vinyard

Now that he was clear of the crowd, Corey stopped to watch the fight again. Now he's attacking the truck..? That Andrew and Catherine are in. I totally forgot about them. You're nuts Sammy. Just fly away before even more of them show up.

Then he noticed Sammy's truck. How am I going to get out of here? I don't think Sammy's going to give me a ride anymore.

Sammy Donaldson

Sammy could not belive he just tore a cannon out of the hands of the cops and threw it at the SWAT truck! It felt like he could really do anything! Then he felt a sting and saw that the police were still shooting at him. There were more of them now and they seemed to be getting better.

"Yeeeaahh Baby!!" Sammy howls as he soars past the building in cresant moon type of turn. Knowing full well the danger, he was in trying to help Andrew and Catherine; Sammy had to take a step back, regroup his thoughts and courage.....he knew if he didn't get them out, Andrew and Catherine are as good as dead.

Sammy concentrated to himself.....

"O.K...breath.....stay spuratic in your flying...no patterns....don't give them something to shot at, don't let them get any sort of timing down. Next, do something quick.....won't be long before something comes along I can't handle alone."

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

'Yep, I'm definitely in trouble . . . wonder what she's thinking,' Lorenzo thought.

Upstairs Lorenzo suddenly stopped. He could swear he heard Kyle talking to a girl.

Lorenzo was distracted . . . not by Jennifer, who he was paying a great deal of attention to, but by the voices downstairs. He had expected adult voices, male or female, but all he heard was Kyle's and a girl's voice.

Lorenzo smiled to Jennifer and whispered, "I think Kyle's got a girl downstairs - might be a secret admirer. Regardless, we should probably just get comfortable and wait for him to give the all clear. You think that's a good idea, Jen?"

Andrew, HP:2

"Hey! What that's light. What happening?"

Seeing his captor are not cooperative at all, Andrew start to try to untie himself.

"We have commited no crime... we are not under arrest... we have right, so you'll start to explain now what happening."

S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Whitmyer Shopping Village

Andrew felt lost. Nothing he did made his restraints feel any better. After closer examination he saw that his hands had been locked into holes in his seat. Restraints had been crossed over his waist, lap, lower legs and 2 across his chest. Catherine was locked down in the same manner. Andrew looked at her face and could not determine what she was thinking. He knew she was scarred but it seemed like she was in shock, too.

No one answered his questions. It was almost like the officers no longer noticed he was there. The truck began to move and pick up speed. As they pulled away a large 'BOOM!' could be heard. The guards smiled.

Corey made his way to safety just as he saw something fire from the SWAT rifles. Blue globs flew through the air and one of them hit Sammy's feet! How could he possibly help Sammy or get them out of the mall.

Sammy heard the loud thunder of the rifles being fired. He saw the blue bolts fly at him from the rifles. He watched as 2 globs flew past him. Then he felt something. He looked down at his feet and saw that one of the blob globs had hit his feet! And even worse was that it looked like it was spreading. Sammy thought nothing would be able to hurt him while he was on fire. And the truth was that it didn't hurt but it was harder to maneuver and his fire didn't seem to be burning it off!



Kyle's Family's Home

Amanda smiled at Kyle with a bright, friendly smile. "Well we were supposed to but they are doing some training and Mom had some time to come home and visit. Isn't that cool!" She looked at Kyle taking in his appearance. Slowly she smiled again. "C'mon. You don't want to stand out side do you? Why don't we go up to your room and you can show me what hot new tech you've picked up." Se was still holding onto his arm and her hand gently squeezed a little bit.




Detention Center

Eleyna shivered as the Agent in front of here simply stood and stared. It seemed like he would never stop. Then a Nurse came in dressed in hospital scrubs. She didn't seem very old and she almost seemed pleasant as she spoke. At some point while she explained what was going and how Eleyna would be examined the Agent left. "This exam will be painless. It really isn't much different than a medical exam, except this isn't about your health." She opened Eleyna's eyes and stared for a few minutes. "Don't worry, I'm sure you will be fine."



Gabe finally gave in and let the Nurse perform her pre-exam. She was friendly enough and didn't force him, she would just wait patiently until he cooperated. He slowly began to get comfortable. Then the door opened and a man dressed in a suit walked in. His face looked emotionless and his eyes cold. "Mr. Adams. I have just spoken with your friend Ms. Robertson. She has agreed to assist us with the information we are looking for. BUt she seems to think you can help us as well. What we want to now is how you managed to avoid detection with such powerful abilities." The agent barely seemed to blink as he looked at Gabe and nowhere else.
