DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

Corey Vinyard

Whitmyer Shopping Village

Corey made his way through the food court to the outside doors. He saw no police nearby. When he finally forced himself to look back at the accident scene he had checked out earlier with Sammy, he saw that things had died down and there were just two police cars there now. Then he looked again at the distance he had traveled when he had run back to the mall. That was a hundred feet or more of parking lot and he had felt like it had taken hardly a second to cover it. Shouldn't it have seemed like eternity? Police were yelling at them, Sammy was smoking and people were yelling....

How could I..? No, don't think about it. Soon I'll be home and this nightmare will be over.

Wait a minute! Sammy was smoking! He had to be a mutant but did he know that before he burst into flame and attacked the cops?

No, he couldn't have known before. He looked more shocked than the other people in the crowd when he noticed that stuff melting.

"Hey cutie. Where's your fast talking friend?" Corey looked up to see two familiar women, smoking cigarettes outside the mall entrance. It was the two women Sammy had approached before everything happened.

It took Corey a second to figure out who was talking to him. He knew it couldn't have been more than an hour, but it seemed like ages since he met the women. "Uhhhh, he had to go. Home. But I'm getting a ride from another friend, so it's ok." I must sound like an idiot. They didn't know I need a ride.

Sammy Donaldson

Sammy was so lucky to have her. She was beautiful with blonde hair and these big brown eyes that melted his heart every time they laid onto him. He
never figured out why. He couldn't remember meeting her, or her name...just that he loved her, she loved him. Just the feeling surrounding him.....love. He had never felt this emotion on this new level. Suddenly he understood every poem ever written. Every song he hated before because; 'it sounded so ridiculous, nobody would ever really feel that deep for someone else!' he could remember saying. Now was also understood. It was just so warm, so fearless. He could see her asking whats wrong as he was holding his head. The pain just seemed to break the warmth up, the girl seemed further away, the love further away. The pain however, grew more real. It throbbed with every pulse beat....stronger and stronger.


"Uuummmmm" Sammy had opened his eyes to a wall. His head ached hard, the warmth and girl quickly fading away........a dream. Just the pain, and the cold.

Whitmyer Shopping Village

The two saleswomen looked at Corey and seemed to genuinely be paying attention to him. "Are you okay honey? You don't look very good." The second one spoke, "Yeah. Corey, right? Is everything all right? Do you need something? You look like something scared you." They both leaned down slightly to get closer to him. Their eyes looked wide with concern.

Corey saw that no one else was stopping or looking at him. It seemed that everyone else assumed everything was fine and he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. These women didn't know him and would believe whatever he said. But, what would he tell Kyle about Sammy.




Kyle's Family's House

"Okay, we'll all go!" Nothing seemed to dampen Amanda's spirits. As she began leading the way out to the car she stopped, again. "There is room for everyone, isn't there?" She asked the question but didn't seem to worry about the answer. She was far too involved in staying close to Kyle.

Outside of the house things seemed different. There was an energy in the air that could not be identified. It was almost like you could feel the excitement and intensity of the town. A few people were pulling into their homes and rushing inside. The sirens had stopped but it was almost as if an echo of their sound lingered in the air.



Detention Center

Catherine sat on the bed and never seemed to move much. Her voice seemed to have no trouble travelling. It was slightly deeper. More forceful but no louder. Just clearly heard. She never looked completely up, her head at an angle down towards the floor with her eyes up at however she was speaking to. "Why deny it Andrew. Why else would we be here? We are all mutants and our lives are over. No more school, no more friends, no more happy families and dreams of the future. This is it."

Gabe reached into his pants pockets and quickly pulled out the only two items left. His wallet, containing $14 and his cell phone.

Sammy slowly rolled over and tired to focus his eyes. The room was fairly bright and it wasn't very warm. There were people with him. Wait a minute, he knew all of these people! They were all from school! This must have been a bad dream after all.

Kyle frowns a bit at that, worrying about being the only car on the street and how to explain things to Amanada, and of course the whole Jennifer and Lorenzo thing. :Focus Kyle, get Corey, figure a way to find out how to deal with this.. rash of mutant events, get some control on your emotions, last thing you want is another change this soon.:

"Why deny it Andrew. Why else would we be here? We are all mutants and our lives are over. No more school, no more friends, no more happy families and dreams of the future. This is it."

"I don't know if we are mutant, there may be a mistake, but the chnace are very slim, that's true. And even if they had made a mistake, I doubt they would tell us. Keeping us against our will, without reason than our genes, if they had been wrong about us, it would be trouble for them...

You are true for that, but that's all. School will not be for soon, but you still got friends. You still got me. And we are not alone in that situation. Look around you. Sammy, Gabe, Elayna are there too. They will surely brings other people, people like us, who had a prefectly normal life, who would have lived a quiet life without what they have done. Your friends will surely change, but you'll still have friends.

And dreams of the futur. Why you can't have some. Why you can't hope they will become true. I don't tell you the life will be easy. We may have to live in the next few years some hard years, even harder than we can imagine, but we must not stop before it even began. We have to fight as we can, we need to survive. The first quater just start and the game is fresh. The opponents are leading, and what? It is far from being finished. You want a diplomae, a house and an happy live. I'll give it to you, but it isn't today I will give it, and I doubt it will be next year, but one day, you'll have it. It will come later, it will be harder to get, but we can still get it."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Detention Center

Catherine sat on the bed and never seemed to move much. Her voice seemed to have no trouble travelling. It was slightly deeper. More forceful but no louder. Just clearly heard. She never looked completely up, her head at an angle down towards the floor with her eyes up at however she was speaking to. "Why deny it Andrew. Why else would we be here? We are all mutants and our lives are over. No more school, no more friends, no more happy families and dreams of the future. This is it."

Gabe reached into his pants pockets and quickly pulled out the only two items left. His wallet, containing $14 and his cell phone.

'Alright! A phone!' Gabe felt a surge of relief inside him at the familiar sight, and a wide smile crossed his face. He half turned to Eleyna, and showed her the phone excitedly. 'Now I can...' Moments passed as Gabe racked his brains for something he could do. He'd been so convinced that the phone, a way to contact someone outside this prison, was the answer that he hadn't gone any further, and the sudden realisation that even with the phone his actions were futile caused a gaping pit to open in his stomach. 'Now I can what? Who can I call, and what can I say? "Hi mom, I've been taken to some kind of prison for being a mutant, could you come and bust me out?" "Hi, Mr-I-Float-Through-Walls-Man, could you come save us?" There's no-one who can help us. No-one I can call.' Gabe's shoulders slumped, and the glee faded from his face. He glanced at the phone, despair and awful realisation on his face. "Dammit!" Gabe slammed his clenched fist into the ground as hard as he could, gritting his teeth against the sharp spike of pain in his hand. "Dammit..."

As Andrew finish his speech, he waits for Catherine reaction when he see something moving beside him. He saw Gabe showing his phone to Eleyna. It takes a few moment to Andrew to grasp that.

"You've got a phone and not telling us? Man, what the f..." Andrew stop in the middle of his sentence as something light up in his mind.

"Damn. I am not sure we can use it. They wouldn't leave that without reason. It can't be. And if what I think is true, anyone we call will be trace by them... I'm starting to be paranoiac I think."

Eleyna was crushed as Gabe pulled the phone from the crumpled form of his jeans. Actually, the precise moment of her despair came was when he turned around smiling - so sure he had figured out a way out for them. Oh, Gabe, who can we possibly call? Who would come get us out of here? For a moment, she contemplated how she might break it to him, but then she saw the realization come to him - the disappointment fall across his face. And that was when Andrew Ward started in on him...

"Andrew Ward! Leave him alone! At least he's trying figure a way out of here!" Turning her attention to Gabe, she was surprised at his reaction. "Gabe! Don't! Don't do that! Oh, Gabe, it was a good idea. We'll keep trying. I'll help you and we'll keep trying. We'll figure something out..." Suddenly, Eleyna remembered... Coach Shelton! If there were any sign of shock on her face, she did her best to cover it up. She didn't know whether or not the coach was involved in the mutant cover-up, but she sure didn't want to expose him if he did. At least that way, other mutants might have a chance of getting by unnoticed.

Movement caught her eye, in the boys' cell, just past Gabe. Sammy was waking up - lifting himself up off the bed - and he didn't look too good. Thoughts interrupted, Eleyna called out to him, hoping it would also distract Gabe from his misdirected anger. "Sammy? Hey, Sammy, how're you feeling?"
