DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

[KaintheSeeker]

The Allen Home



Lorenzo looked somewhat apprehensively at the dates and names. He didn’t want to rat out Eleyna on something that didn’t seem to be coincidence. Lorenzo wasn’t about to betray a confidence even if it was to support a theory. ‘Though if Eleyna was being covered for, maybe she was a mutant . . . and if she was – and I was, then that means that Gabe could be as well,’ Lorenzo thought.

He tried to remember if he had perfect attendance on the med scan days.

“Kyle, I don’t know what to tell you,” Lorenzo said with conviction, “I’ve never known you to have any issues with computer information – so if you say the information’s been doctored, I’m pretty sure I agree with you. Is there any way to determine when it was doctored, or, more importantly, by who?”

"Not too sure as to the who? As to the why? There are a lot of folks who don't like the ways things are going, did you know if you go by goverment figures and publically collected figures there are two trends in the country? The number of 'genetically flawed' folks out there is holding steady by goverment figures, but if you go by publically collected figure's it's going up?" Looks around to the others, clearly this is a thing he's been watching over time. "And if you're 'not pure' you can't get scholarships, loans, federal jobs with the same amount of ease. The country is factioning hard into the haves and the have-nots. A lot of people are starting to realize that they are on the wrong side of that line and in dire danger of losing rights and liberties that we all once took for granted." Shrugs and deflates a bit. "Sorry to be so preachy, but it's always been an issue in my house, we are big into protecting our rights."

(OOC: I seem to recall (and feel quick to correct me) that american's in the future's past setting were classed into three groups... 'pure' human with no mutant potential (who had full rights), 'anomolous' and mutants who were accordingly restricted.. feel free to correct me.. if I'm wrong just assume Kyle's seeing what 'might' be coming. )

Corey, listen I know you're the shy type. Not a problem....you wink and be the strong silent with the tricks and I'll do the talkin'. Follow me..and just follow my lead!

Sammy motions to Corey to follow; brushing off his shirt and tugging on the bottom to pull and minor flaws from his shirt. While motioning to Corey and giving him a look as if to say with or without you I'm talkin' to them--but, without being rude.


Excuse me ladies....how are you this morning? Looking absoulutly smashing at such an early hour of the day. I'm Sam and that young man looking shy and mysterious is my friend Corey. I was wondering if you could do me a favor?
(Ladies giggle and nod over to Corey's direction..)
(right now Corey is still far enough away that he can't hear everything that Sam is saying...)

You see, my friend's parents just died a horrific death. (Please don't mention it.) They passed away a couple of days ago and he is obviously devistated.
The whole thing is really bitter sweet considering his parents left him a lone trust of a crap load..(I mean a crap load) of money. So you see what I mean by bitter sweet. Anyway, he had mentioned that you, (points to one of the women) reminded him of his late mother, when she was younger. In her....(cough) modeling days.
I think it would make him feel better if you young attractive ladies would be so kind as to take a few minutes for my poor friend and have a coffee or perhaps an OJ with us? Again, its a sore subject so if you say yes, please, don't say anything that has to do with his parents, ok?

Sammy realizing that he may have just actually gotten them to come over, waiting for there reply. Looking over at Corey giving him a low below the detection of the female radar guys thumbs up and a wink.

What a great day... Sam smartly thought to himself.

Eleyna Robertson

"Yes. You're right, we have to go somewhere less conspicuous. Uh..do you want to try for the mall, and blend in with the people there? Or go somewhere else? I admit...I'm kind of low on ideas.."

Eleyna wasn't quite sure what to do. Skipping school without a written doctor's excuse was something new to her, and she was a little paranoid about being caught. It's not that she cared about getting into trouble - that wasn't it at all, really - she just didn't want Gabe getting taken back to Whitmyer for a gen-scan. Her mind raced, considering places they could go to keep clear of the school.

"Let's... actually, let's stay away from the mall. I bet that's where most skippers would go, and I don't want to run into anyone else, if we can avoid it. Plus, y'know, if someone working thinks we should be in school... I don't know, I just don't want you taken back." She looked up at him. "So... no ideas, huh?"

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

"Let's... actually, let's stay away from the mall. I bet that's where most skippers would go, and I don't want to run into anyone else, if we can avoid it. Plus, y'know, if someone working thinks we should be in school... I don't know, I just don't want you taken back." She looked up at him. "So... no ideas, huh?"

Gabe blushed at Eleyna's words. 'Doesn't want me taken back, huh? I..no, now isn't the time! Stop daydreaming!'

"Uh...no, not really. I..my Mom doesn't have regular work, so we can't really go to my place...plus, if they are checking, they'd probably look there first. I..."

Gabe broke off with a sheepish smile and rubbed his face.

"To tell you the truth, I'm so tired I barely know what day it is...let alone what we do next. Sorry. I...I don't want to burden you, but...I..my brain's not really working."

He did look tired around the eyes, and Gabe's cheeks were flushed even as his earlier blush faded. Yet he was still smiling, and there was a strange expression in his eyes. 'I wish I had a plan..that I didn't have to put the burden of having ideas on Eleyna along with everything else. I just want her to smile...to see that look on her face again.'

What a great day... Sam smartly thought to himself.

With a gulp, Corey gets up and follows Sammy towards the woman, staying a short distance behind. As Sammy talks to them, he just tries to keep himself from fidgetting and thinking about the absurdity of this entire day. They're just girls. Relax. I hope they don't listen to him. But maybe they will. Oh man, what am I going to do?

Whitmyer High School
Andrew could hear the teachers talking as he continued passed them, laughing about the coach having him start on his extra laps during study hall. That was fine, at least he was on his way off property and soon he would be off on a whole day of just him and Catherine. This would be a day to remember.

Whitmyer Shopping Village
Sammy actually stopped and thought for a moment, not something he normally did but, the look the women were giving him made him think that maybe his plan was not as perfect as it had seemed. He turned to check on Corey and saw that the women were not looking at him, but at Corey walking over to them. "Oh, the poor kid." "Aww, we have to talk to him." "Really, she was a model?' They were going for it! This was going to be a day to remember!

Corey was trying his best to muster a cool smile and act as care free as Sammy seemed. As he made his way over to the group of women and Sammy, he noticed two policemen enter the food court.

The Allen Home
After Lorenzo's question, Kyle started looking at the data closer. There was no doubt it had been changed but no way to know who did it. Jennifer was a bit tense that Kyle was going to end up pointing an electronic finger at her. She did not want that. But he really seemed to have done his homework on the whole mutant thing, even if his information was slightly biased.

While Kyle tried to retrieve the original records, something he had his doubts about but he had to know, Jennifer heard the familiar sound of the garage door opener lifting the door open.

Eleyna's Car
If not for the odd accident outside their car window and the fact that they were skipping school to harbor a mutant, this would have been a moment of their lives they could have never imagined being so perfect.

Unfortunately, while they discussed where to go and what to do and tried to finish a thought without blushing, they both failed to notice one of the policemen had walked up to the side of the car. He reached out and tapped on the drivers side car window.

nock, nock, nock

They had no choice. Their perfect world had been invaded by an interruption from the outside world. They both instinctively did the only thing they could, they both jumped and screamed!

And then Eleyna felt the anxiety build within her but not like all the other times. This was a different feeling. Quicker, more concentrated and then it was over, in the blink of an eye.

Every window in Eleyna's car exploded!

Glass flew everywhere! The policeman hit the ground as hundreds of shards of glass flew at him as if hurled by a hurricane! The sound was tremendous! And when it was over, half a second later, everyone around was laying on the ground trying to hide for their lives!

Gabe and Eleyna sat in the car, untouched by a single piece of glass.
