DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

[Velmont]

Hearing the speach, he makes a face that said 'not more trouble!'.

"As I said, today, I'll have many things to fix if I don't want to pass a bad week with the coach and the team. And with the gym taken for that MedScan, the coach will be even harder to talk to. He hates that when someone take his gym. I'll double my effort today to fix all, so tomorrow, I will be able to pass the day and night with you. What you think of it. Give me the day to make what I need to do, and I'll pass 24h hours with you, at your orders. I'll even pay the movie, and the supper."

Oops, shouldn't told that, she will ask to go to a five star restaurant now... Bah! too late now, and it is the least I can do for what she must support.

Jennifer Allen

Allready on her way out to get some breakfast Jen barely manages not to stumble then the news come. But keepingher act together is her specialty and she goes on. Despite all that she doesn't worry overmutch. Afterall, no one ever asks her why she wants to go somethere.

Hopefully she can make her way out of the gym without a fuss.

"Tamara, Meg? Let's go, that test won't help our grades in any way. Any of you know who's new car that is down there?"

Maybe a screen of the usuall loyal cheerleader followers will make her exit not too obvious.

 

[Kangaxx]

Corey Vinyard

Corey will calm down a little as he notices that most of the students were unnerved by the announcement.

They couldn't possibly be here just for me. They would have called me to the principal's office or something. But there's no way they're putting me in that machine. Kyle just waltzed out! Can it really be that easy?

"Tamara, Meg? Let's go, that test won't help our grades in any way. Any of you know who's new car that is down there?"

Maybe a screen of the usuall loyal cheerleader followers will make her exit not too obvious.

And now Jennifer's about to go too. Maybe I can just follow them.

As the cheerleaders start to leave, Corey will fall in behind them and follow them out of the gym, hoping his usual unobtrusiveness pays off.

Sammy Donaldson

"Hi there Sammy. I have no idea what that's about but it looks like gym is cancelled to me."

As Sammy and the others watched Jennifer walk away he was not so unimpressed with her legs as he was with her answer. "Maybe some women ya' just can't talk to." he said aloud. Turning his attention back to the group. "I'll see you guys later, I'm gonna try to find something out about this
thing they're putting up in the gym." Sammy then a justed his book bag and gave a simple hand gesture for good bye and left the gym.

"I wonder why a team of people all dressed uniformly are rushing to construct a large machine type deal in our gym?" spoke aloud. While at the same time running ways to get the scoop of the situation in his head. Think, think, think, what’s the easiest why to get the what’s and whys of this. Who would know anything? Well, I guess the easiest thing to do would be to ask on of these jump suit guys. Who would spend the morning building something if they didn't know what it was?

After Sammy had given it a couple of minutes he decided to question the closest man working, without trying to draw anymore attention to himself after the whole "Agent Smith joke." He was about 5 feet from him. Sam had stood there working up the tenacity to question the worker.

What’s the worse that could happen, he could tell me to buzz off, right?

Sammy Donaldson

Announcement distorts the air of the gen-scan news.

Well that announcement answered my question didn't it. No need to go bothering the help now, huh.

Med-Scan? Just another way of saying Gen-Scan? Kinda out of season for those, huh? Oh, well I'm gain if it gets us out of classes! I can't possibly miss any more school. Everyone would just have a freakin' cow if I failed cause of attendance.

Sammy turns and heads for Theory room 4 for Psyc. Class. I hope this scan happens soon, I totally didn't study for that Psyc. Test. That would save my butt big time!

While in thought Sammy realized he was watching his class walk in the direction of the Gym; were he just came from. Except Eleyna who seemed preoccupied with getting out, taking the opposite direction. Huh, Sammy's mind flickering back to prior thoughts You've gotta be kidding me, what a lucky freakin' break, no test!
Gleefully, Sammy turns yet again. This time with a more chipper twist then before, smiling to himself at the amount of luck he has had this morning. Catching Kyle right off the bat and giving him his stuff. The gym being used for a gen-scan, which got him out of gym class, and know getting the scan during a class with a test he didn't study for!
I gotta buy a lottery ticket today, thought Sammy.

As the class shuffled like sheep into a single file line through the gym doors,
battling a lite breeze to cross from hallway to gymnasium. Into a long and winding line spanning across the outskirt walls. Down the bleacher line, across the back wall, and turning back to form a huge horseshoe out the door into the hallway. Sammy know he would have to occupy his time since he was a little behind half the line. Luckily, he had remembered he went to the comic book store yesterday afternoon and had not
had a chance to read the rest of his 'pull.'

Contently, Sammy settled into his space in line behind Sarah Shift, a sophomore with issues, a gothic type chick who had a passion for cutting her forearms across ways. Nothing deep, just all a bunch of superficial wounds to show off her depression and rebel against the machine of the world type stuff. He's never talked to her; just know her by her wounds. He also had no plans to talk to her while he's in line.
Which would probably hurt his head talking with her due to all the drugs
she’s probably on. Sammy's attention quickly returns to his issue # 11 of Teen Titans. Removing the book from the plastic bag and placing it back in his book bag. "I really need to find a new comic book store, this book should have boards in em', savages!” gripped Sammy in disgust at the improper protocol of the store.

Some time passed, Sammy is through about half his book, the line moving at the pace of a snail. Sammy couldn't of course let himself be taken totally away by his comic due to having to stop, pick up his book bag, shuffle a couple of feet, place the book bag down, and continue the process over and over again. Meanwhile, the so attractive Sarah Shift, who had remained in front of him the entire time, began to feel the agony of boredom setting it. So, what did Sammy have to put up with during the time of boredom for her, yup, you guessed it. Sarah removed a small nail file from her pocket and began slowly making long horizontal cuts along her forearms. Sammy, who now just has to put the book away for fear of flying skin or blood or getting whatever on it. Great, just great, like the absence of deodorant from the lovely Ms. Shift wasn't bad enough? I have to watch this crap![/I] Sammy rocking back and forth now tries to count just how many people he has before he can get his scan and get away from Psycho Sarah. Too many to finish counting, damn it!

If he leaves now he can still have most of the day to do what he wants. Its early and Mcdonalds is still serving breakfast. Its not like anyone is going to notice me slip out the door with a line this long. Sammy descretly picks up his book bag and makes an unnoticed exit. While leaving sammy observed that it seemed like alot of people were on edge about this scan. Weird.

Maybe its not to late to meet up with that whole coffee invite....

Eleyna was startled by Coach Shelton's words. They did prompt her to take action even quicker. "Sorry, Zo. Just realized me and Gabe have some personal stuff we gotta fix, ya know. But maybe we can catch you later at the mall or something." With that Eleyna turned and whispered to Gabe, "We gotta go. Now. Come on I'll drive."

Everything in Lorenzo was screaming for him to ditch school but nothing seemed to be making it easy. He couldn't even find anyone to ditch with. And the Coach had him curious. Definitely not his normal behavior. It was almost like he was trying to hide or protect something.

Andrew hurried off to class trying to figure out how he was going to afford a movie and dinner at Top's Chalet. But it was worth it, Catherine was a fantastic girl and really didn't mind that he spent so much time with his buddies. Now if only there was some way to use this medical scan to help out the team in their day of need. Andrew suddenly remembered that the guys had told him to head to the Coach's office for study hall and that was hid first class of the day.

Kyle was less than pleased to see there were several teachers roaming the school grounds. The Principal had arranged for several staff members to do that during assemblies and other school wide functions to cut down on student ditching.

Jennifer and 3 other girls had made it out of the gym without incident but were trying to decide who had drove that could get them out of school for the day. As Corey made his way after them he heard, "Mr. Vinyard would you be so kind as to bring the school nurse down here for me. Thanks so much. And be sure to make it back quickly." Coach Shelton had his hat pulled down low, which was usually a bad sign however, he seemed like he was in a good enough mood.

Kyle made it out of the gym and down the hall when he spotted his class headed back to the gym. He fell in with them but got antsy. He made it out of the gym, again, and back out to the parking lot to find Eleyna and Gabe ahead of him. They were talking and walking slowly and seemed oblivious to the fact that they should not be out in the lot during class.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Well you'd think that it would have taken a LITTLE longer for the teachers to figure out that gap in the school perimeter, Kyle mused as he slipped out the gym AGAIN and headed out to the parking lot, concentrating hard on keeping a very familiar 'full body' itch down before it got him shipped out of school and into a camp with lots of sentinels around it.


"Hiya Gabe, Ele.. waz up." Kyle asks with a smile as he walks up, "Doing the skip the scan thing too huh.. no telling what sort of things that darn fed machine might do and while the Chemotherapy look might look good on Gabe-ster here, I doubt it would look right on you babe." smiles winningly at Eleyna. Clearing doing a typical Kyle Graham Ham-act.

 

[Synchronicity]

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe followed Eleyna out into the parking lot, feeling more tired than he'd ever felt in his life. 'It's strange. This place feels so different now and I was out here less than an hour ago. Am I dreaming this? Am I going to wake up?' Gabe glanced behind him nervously, squinting against the sun. 'No-one following us. Well, of course there isn't. What was I expecting, a troop of men in body armour shouting "Halt, mutant!"? Hang on..who's that kid? Well, it probably doesn't matter. ' Gabe walked a little faster, following Eleyna to her car. Turning, she asked him;

"So..any ideas as to where you want to go yet?"

Gabe thought for a moment, but before he could reply, Kyle walked up to the two of them. A look of discomfort appeared on Gabe's face, and at the remarks about the gen-scan, he visibly flinched. Eleyna shot a look of compassion at him as Kyle's well-meant joking struck him painfully. His eyes told the story; no other people, not here. Eleyna turned back to Kyle.

"Listen, Kyle. Sorry about this, but Gabe's got some personal stuff he needs some help with. But we might see you later or something."

Up close, Gabe does look pale, and has obviously been crying recently.
Eleyna looked serious as she talked, but ended with a friendly smile. She turned away, took Gabe by the arm and guided him towards her car.

Gabe whispered as they walked away

"Thanks, Eleyna. Listen, about where..uh..maybe..the memorial park? It's not near the school..and at this time of day it'll probably be mostly empty..and it's..nice there. With the lake, and..."

Gabe broke off, looking anxiously at Eleyna to see what she thought of his suggestion. However, before she could answer, Gabe spoke again, a frown appearing on his face.

"Eleyna.."

Yet, glancing behind them, obviously remembering Kyle's presence, Gabe trailed off.

"Uh...nothing."

Gabe said nothing else for the brief walk to Eleyna's car, but after they had got in, his frown re-appeared. With a deep sigh, he looked at the girl and spoke.

"Eleyna..helping me..is..is it really alright for you to be doing that? I mean...I..I can do stuff. Maybe..maybe dangerous stuff. And I don't know how to control it. You..you might get hurt."

Gabe's voice cracked on the last word, and he looked away. Still not looking at Eleyna, he continued.

"I..doesn't..doesn't that scare you? Make you afraid? Of..of me? Of what I might do? I mean..god, Eleyna. It..it terrifies me. I..I don't want to hurt anybody...I don't want to hurt you. Not..not when you're being so..so..."

Gabe trailed off, obviously unable to find the words. 'So understanding. So helpful. So...so *you*.' He slumped in the passenger seat, his words having taken a lot out of him, fighting back the tears which threatened to resurface.

Sammy made it out the door, bag in hand. He had to run, teachers were out
and he DID NOT want to get busted leaving. Especially driving without
a license. Where would he go? As Sam heads to his car, he sees Elenya
Gabe getting in Elenya's car. Interesting, I didn't know they really hung out. An Item perhaps? At least they had been lucky enough to make it out. Which on second thought, why are they in such a rush anyway? They must really want out. Makes me think a certain couple has a mutant or two in it? Maybe, Maybe not.Not that he had anything against mutants. Sammy thought most of them were pretty lucky to have special powers. Although the laws were agianst them, which made him cheer them on even more.
Tossing his bag into the back seat of his new gun metal gray Chevy
Trailblazer, pulling himself into the drivers seat with the help of the
steerling wheel. He made it, now if he just had a destination. Sammy
sat in his car, still outside the school, thinking were to go. The mall? The computer store? Maybe hit the coffee shop then, figure out something to do from there. Sammy pulls the keys from his pocket and sat there for a second, making sure he wanted to put up with the lectures from his parents and coach before leaving school property.

Jennifer Allen

What is this, the rock?"
Even Jen starts to feel slightly worried then she sees the teachers from the window. Slipping away through that won't be that easy. But then at least it's more excitment than she usualy gets on a monday morning.

The parking lot suddenly seems like a very likely place for another teacher to sit and watch. It ain't a challenge to find someone to drive the four of them but somehow her diversion just lost its usefullness. There is no way eve this small crowd can slip away now.
Even though she's sorry cause some coffee with friends would have been nice Jen slightly brushes her stomach, looks reasonable suffering and excuses herself from the others.

"Sorry girls I'll catch up with you in a moment.

With a soft smile she looks into the direction of the , now out of sight, restroom they just passed and lets herself fall back. Seeing coach Shelton just gave her an idea. There is at least one place without a teacher now.
If she can make it into the coachs office she can easily jump out of the window and be over the fence within seconds.
And there they asked why I took that climbing class.
Sorry friends, I guess they'll catch you then you try to leave but then all you have to loose is a break... .
