DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

[Synchronicity]

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

She grinned, radiant, her smile touching her eyes. She replied to him, "Yeah, I-I'm okay. I'm alright. They didn't... they just did some tests and, and they left. God, I'm so glad to see you too. I didn't know what was happening and... I'm just glad to see you're alright. When you fought them... I just... I didn't want them to hurt you."

Looking into his eyes, she noticed as Gabe realized Catherine was sitting behind her. "Yeah, Catherine's in here. She may as well not be, for all the talking she's doing. I see you got a friend too." Quickly looking up at Andrew Ward, motioning to him with her eyes. "Gabe, what's going on?"

Almost in reply to this, the door in the other cell opened and another kid was brought in. She nodded to Gabe as he looked to her, as if reassuring him that she was alright. Following a groad, the kid turned on his hospital bed, and Eleyna was shocked yet again. Hey, I know him, too! It's that... the kid that parks near me. He's a freshman... Sammy, I think.

"Gabe, is he okay?"

Gabe looked over at Eleyna. "I don't know. I don't *think* he's injured...just stunned or drugged or something." He looked down at Sammy again, checking for any obvious wounds, and not seeing any, returned his attention to Eleyna again. "As for what's going on..your guess is as good as mine." Suddenly, comprehension dawned on Gabe's face. He moved over to the window and spoke to Eleyna in an undertone.
"I heard a couple of the guards talking earlier. Something about a mutant giving them trouble at the Mall. Maybe that was Sammy? And as for what's going on..your guess is as good as mine. I mean, Mr Hotshot Athlete over there's convinced it's all some kind of misunderstanding and he'll be released soon, but I don't think they would have made any mistakes. It looks like all of us here are mutants. But..why are so many mutants suddenly appearing here? And why haven't any been discovered here before?"

Gabe frowned, trying to make sense of recent events. "I had a suit in here earlier trying to pump me for information. He tried to make me believe you'd told them to ask me what was going on, but I knew he was lying. I guess they could be as confused by all of this as we are..and they're looking for an explanation." Gabe's frown vanished as he looked at Eleyna again, replaced by a relieved smile. "I'm really glad you're ok. And don't worry about me. I think they need to know what's happening more than they need to punish one kid for being uncooperative." Gabe reached up and touched the collar around his neck, an angry determination burning in his eyes. He softly spoke in an undertone that Eleyna could barely hear. "Though if I didn't have this thing on, I'd be a lot more than uncooperative.."

As Gabe walked back over to the window, a huge grin came across Eleyna's face. She blushed, and feeling her cheeks turning red, looked away for a moment, pretending to check on Catherine. She couldn't help but notice how good Gabe looked in the strange jumpsuit they were given. But, Eleyna could not keep her eyes away for long, and once she felt she had regained her composure, she turned back to the window again. His eyes are so beautiful. Just then, a fear arose in her - that they might take him away from her again, at any moment. Her eyes got misty, and she choked back tears. She decided to savor this and any moment they had to see each other. Who knows what else is gonna happen today?

"I know... I mean, you're right, I was just so worried. You've been through so much today... I just... I couldn't stand it if you got hurt."

Andrew stands up and walk up to Gabe. He garbs him and pull him on the other side of the cell. He starts to whisper.

"Now listen boy. That we are all mutants may be obvious to you. Personally, mutant or no, it doesn't matter anymore. But keep those thing for you. Catherine is fragile, and if you throw such things at her, you'll crush her last hope. She is suffering enough like that, and I want to see her living throught this.

Personally, I don't want to pass my remaining in this cell or in a labor camp, and I hope to live a long life, and it isn't here that I will be able to do this. I know they won't release me, even if they found I'm not a mutant, because they just broke every damn right of freedom we have just because we are mutant. Finding a human among mutants would only be bad press for them, really bad. So I will find a way out of here, and bring Catherine with me. I dunno how much time it will take to find something, maybe months, but if you want to help, you're welcome. Just don't speak about that to Catherine, or about she is a mutant. She will understand it soon enough."

"I know... I mean, you're right, I was just so worried. You've been through so much today... I just... I couldn't stand it if you got hurt."

Gabe looked at Eleyna reassuringly. "I know. I was worried about you too. But don't worry. I - Hey!" Gabe broke off abruptly as Andrew unceremoniously pulled him away across the room.

'Nice to know this guy's got such good manners! What the hell's up with him?!' "What're you doing? Why the.." Gabe's broke off his angry protests as he heard what Andrew was saying, although his eyes were still angry at Andrew's abrupt actions. He replied in an equally low voice, though anger lingered in it. "Don't worry. I'm not trying to panic people. And I don't intend on dying in a camp either. But as for helping you, who the heck put you in charge? If we're going to try and escape, we should *all* try and work together - and try to get everybody out. I'm sure everyone here wants to be somewhere else, so don't be so damn selfish - think of someone besides yourself and your girlfriend. We're all in this together, you know."

Gabe turned away from Andrew, obviously still annoyed with the other boy, but then turned back for a moment. "Oh, and Sammy - you know, the guy on the bed? He's not badly hurt, thanks for asking. You could at least give a damn, you know." With a last glare at Andrew, Gabe walked back over to the window. He gave Eleyna a tight smile, obviously still a little angry after talking to Andrew. He muttered angrily;

"That guy's so self-absorbed. He didn't seem to care how Sammy was doing. And he figures he can just drag people around like that? But at least he wants to get out of here as much as we do." Gabe let out a deep breath, calming himself down. "Sorry. People like him...they just rub me the wrong way sometimes. Though..maybe I was a bit harsh. It's just...hard. The not knowing what happens next. I mean, we had tests done, too. I guess they're trying to figure out what we can do. I just don't know what they're going to do after that and..it scares me. But I'm damned if I'm going to let them know that." 'And it scares me even more that I don't know what they're going to do to you.' Gabe put his palm on the glass and looked at Eleyna, seeming to relax a little just looking at her. He looked tired, but there was relief in his eyes. "But I've found you again. And although there's a lot about this situation that sucks, that definitely doesn't."

Corey Vinyard

"Yeah, wazup Corey?" He says, waving to Lorenzo while mouthing 'Corey.. sounds paniced.'

"Hey, um, not much. I'm just, well, kinda trapped at the mall because my ride turned into a fireball and got shot by the police, and I have to get home by 5 or my parents will find out I skipped school and kill me, and I didn't know anyone else I could call so I was kinda hoping you could give me a ride."

Corey sounds borderline hysterical.

Corey sounds borderline hysterical.

"Dude, chill." Kyle says, regaining a bit of his focus and totally dropping the Jennifer/Lorenzo getting together issue. "I can come and get you, don't worry about the skipping the authorities shut the school down and you'll be fine, but I can pick you up and take you to your place, too far. I can come an get you and bring you to my place, it's closer. Now where at the mall are you and I'll see about coming to get you." looks to Lorenzo and mouths. :Major wiggin..he's not having fun:

 

[Keia]

Lorenzo Reynolds Hps: 2/2

" . . . Now where at the mall are you and I'll see about coming to get you." looks to Lorenzo and mouths. :Major wiggin..he's not having fun:

Lorenzo nodded in response. He opened up his cell phone and checked the signal strength, then walked around the room to get someplace relatively quiet with good signal.

Once there, he called home. Lorenzo didn't really expect anyone to be home, as both his parents worked, but it was better to call so they didn't worry.

"What, in the mids of the action and he's still not having fun. What does it take to entertain that boy."

Imitating Kyle she mouths something to Lorenzo herself.

"We can finish what we started later."

With a grin she leaps in front of Kyle.

"Drive to the mall, are you crazy. Not a chance. I bet there's trouble there. And you're so not going to see that without me. Let's go."

Kyle Graham

"I'll be tehre to get you in a bit, you stay by the phone okay?" Kyle says as he snatches up his Uncle's old car keys (figure he's got a permit and there is an old clunker he's allowed to use during day hours). "Gimme ten minutes to get there okay?"

Covering the phone he looks at Jennifer. "Jenn, this isn't going to be a joy ride, the cops will be all over the place, maybe you should stay here.. someoen needs to stay here with.." glances upstairs ways. "you know.."

"What's up with you? Kyle, goof king of the school suddenly sounds like my dad? Get out evil aline invader. Come on I just want to see what's up, won't even leave the car, promise."
She fakes a miliary salute and blinks at Kyle.
And Lorenzo is still here. He can take good care of girls..."
