DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

[Radiant]

Jennifer Allen

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



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?"

Jen listens to the sounds from below but since it doesn't sound immidiatly dangerous she has far more important things to concern herself with. Seemingly without intention her head comes to rest on Lorenzo's shoulder then she lays back down again. Of course they both now that none of her moves are ever without intention.

"So many compliments, it really doesn't suit you. I'm more used to taunts. With so many compliments a girl just has to think you're either preparing a big one of those or you want something."

She rolls sidways to face him, her head still resting on his arm.

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

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.

'Hah! They really must think I'm stupid if they think I'm going to fall for that. I know Eleyna wouldn't direct them to me...she'd be far more likely to try and take all the blame herself. Which means he's likely lying about the co-operation, too.' Only a small smirk crossed Gabe's face at the suit's words; a smirk he carefully hid. He slowly looked up at the man, the light of battle in his eyes.

"You know, I just can't remember. Funny thing; I've got a mind like a sieve whenever I'm locked up, restrained and forced to wear a collar like an animal." Gabe's face hardened as he looked at the man. "And while you're keeping my friend somewhere else. What's the matter, two teenagers at the same time too much for you?" Gabe looked away from the man, staring defiantly at the floor, letting his anger quash the stirrings of fear, and hoping the man would leave when he saw he wouldn't cooperate. 'I'm just so tired...I'd lie down here to sleep if I thought they'd let me. But not yet. Heh..if they're trying to use Eleyna to crack me, I guess she's not being too helpful either. Good for her.'

"Catherine. Are you ok. Please tell me something."

Damn me, why I have been so curious. A crowd, an accident. The coach have been clear enough. Why must I be dumb. I am a mutant. He wanted me to bring Catherine because she was one. But how did she pass the test... nevermind. I must get us out of here.

"Catherine, please, tell me your alright."

Eleyna Robertson

Originally posted by the Nurse
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."

The agent continued to stare at her, and all Eleyna could think to do was return it. "Leave me alone. I don't know what the hell you're talking about."

When the nurse arrived, Eleyna felt the smallest bit of relief at having someone else endure the presence of the agent. Afterwards, when the agent finally left, she was able to regain her composure. In all honesty, she didn't know whether or not Coach Shelton was involved with her misdetection, but there was no way she'd admit to it, even if he had. Sighing, she listened more intently to the nurse's explanation. In a way, the nurse seemed almost compassionate toward Eleyna, which took her aback. Smiling faintly, she said, "Don't worry. I've been through so many medical tests, I could probably recite what you're doing." After a moment, she spoke again. "Well... if this were a standard medical exam, anyways."

Kyle


"Oh.. sure.. by the way some of my friends from school are here so, you know." shrugs with a wry smile. "Don't tell too many embarrasing stories about me okay?"

Leads the way upstairs and knocks on the door. "Hey guys this is Amanda she's an old friend of mine who used to live across the street." holds the door open to let Amanda introduce herself to them.

(AFTER giving them a second to hear the knock at the door)

Kyle's Family's Home

Lorenzo and Jennifer could feel just how close they both were to one another. All they could see were each others eyes. Bright. Wide. Expecting. They could hear each other breathing. The rest of the world around them ceased to exist. Then they heard the nock at the door and did everything they could not to yell as they were startled back to reality.

Kyle peaked around the corner of the door and then opened it and introduced Amanda to Lorenzo and Jennifer. Amanda was friendly and cute and quite happy to meet Lorenzo. She was polite to Jennifer but did not seem very excited to meet her. "So you guys got sent home from school because of all the mutant attacks in town? That's kinda cool. Does that sorta thing happen a lot? It never used to. Creeps me out a little to think about it, ya know. So what are you guys doin' the rest of the day?"



Detention Center

Eleyna felt a bit uncomfortable as the nurse continued to work but did not really talk to her. She began to feel alone. "No. This is not exactly a normal med exam." That was about the only thing the nurse said. After a little while a female guard came into the room and handed Eleyna a hospital gown and a jump suit. "Put the gown on for your exam and put the uniform on when your done." The guard stood there while she changed. She watched what she was doing but she never seemed to look away from Eleyna's eyes. The gown seemed to fit slightly better than a standard gown but, it did remind her how cold the room felt. As soon as she changed a hospital bed was wheeled into the room along with several carts of equipment. The female guard instructed Eleyna to get onto the bed and everyone else continued to work as if she was not even there.


The agent crossed his arms, then smiled and walked out of the room. A guard entered and handed him a large hospital gown to change into. While Gabe changed the guard watched from the doorway. A large hospital bed was brought in and several carts and other equipment were brought in by medical staff. An older man with a shaved head asked Gabe to climb onto the bed as they began hooking up monitor lines to him. The guard continued to watch from the door. That was when Gabe noticed the look on the man's face. It was full of hatred. The guard made no attempt to hide it. Gabe began to wonder if this is how he would spend the rest of his life feeling.
A second guard, younger with short, blonde hair walked in and spoke with the first guard. His whispered voice was easy to hear since everyone in the room was working in silence.

"They got two more on the way. Another boy and girl. Quimby says SWAT is fighting some flying, fire mutant over at Whitmyer Mall. This place is going crazy. Why are all these mutants showing up now?"

It was slightly warmer laying her bare back to the hospital bed, but the sheer chill of the room began to penetrate her skin. Even if she cooperated during the medical exam, she wasn't sure she would be able to keep herself from shivering. "Why is it so damn cold in here?" Although she asked it aloud, Eleyna didn't really expect anyone to answer. Nobody had been exactly accomodating so far, but it felt much better to break the silence than allow it to suffocate her. Inside, she felt that another wave of depression was close, but she desperately struggled to keep it at bay. The last thing she wanted was to let them see her cry. Longing for Gabe, she endured the cold stares and tests as the minutes crawled slowly by.

Gabe complied with the man's requests 'Hah, more like demands..' in silence, saying nothing. He just felt so tired inside, tired and scared. The look on the guard's face made Gabe shiver inside 'How can he look at someone he doesn't even know with such hate? I've never done anything to him, but he hates me just because I exist. How is that right?'

At the second guard's words, Gabe felt surprise ripple through him. '*More* mutants? This town goes from never having had a single mutant detected in it to having *five* discovered in the space of a few hours?! What's going on? And why? I wish Eleyna were here...' Shivering slightly in the cold room, Gabe listened intently to the conversation between the guards.

"Oh I don't know.." looks to the others, feelign a stab of jealousy at Lorenzo. "Not like it would be really bright for us to leave right now.. considering the mutants and all that... the police most likely are going to post a curfew tonight." sighs as he looks to the others from behind Jennifer with a 'how do I handle this' look.

OOC: I take it she doesn't 'ping' on Kyle's radar huh?

Sammy Donaldson

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!

"SON-OF-A-MOTHERLESS-GOAT!" Sammy had vented aloud as he was climbing in altitude. I've been hit with...with....something climbing up my feet. Its pretty damn heavy whatever it is....and cold. Its seems like its reacting to my fire. Difficult to move my feet but, I don't think its impossible.

"YOU WANT ME YOU JERKS....FINE....COME GET SOME!!" Sammy had turn and screamed. He was furious he had this crap on his feet and ankles.

The truck was moving....damn. Andrew and Catherine are still in there..I have to think of something else to do and fast....and I mean really fast. For them, and me.

"YOU FREAKS WANNA KILL ME! LET SEE WHO GOES FIRST!" Sammy screams as he soars toward the front of the moving truck with everything he can muster.
