Whitmyer Shopping Village
Andrew leaned away from the mall and guided Catherine towards the accident scene. She started to complain but saw that look in his eyes like when he had to catch the recap of a game he missed. Focused and curious all at once. She told the girls to go ahead, not that it mattered, they were almost in the mall already.
Andrew could see the large crowd and from the direction he was walking he could see part of the accident the overturned truck had caused. As he got up closer he realized they were at the end of the blockade and he glanced at the crowd and was surprised to see Sammy Donaldson and Corey Vineyard standing there.
"Oh Andrew look! Those are anti-mutant cops over there! I bet some nasty mutie blew up that truck and did all of this." Catherine wrapped herself around one of Andrews arms. "Come on, lets go shopping. I don't want to be around one of those freaky mutants."
Accident Scene At Whitmyer Shopping Village
The focus of the accident had definitely shifted from the truck to the policeman being loaded onto the ambulance as well as the ones who had geared up and were fanning out over the entire blocked off area. Two of them had on helmets with visors that hid their eyes. The other two had on backpacks with devices that stretched around to the front and they seemed to be using them for scanning. One of the cops with a helmet began to walk along the border of the secured area. People were 'ooing and ahhhing' over the A-M unit as they walked through the area.
Lorenzo's Car
All three kids felt a wave of relief as Lorenzo turned his car back away from the accident. Kyle gave him the directions to his families house again. Then Kyle looked back over his seat and saw the police officer who had talked to Eleyna and Gabe was now escorting them over to the ambulances and cruisers.
Then a strange thought ran quickly through Lorenzo's head...
Accident Scene Near Eleyna's Car
The Police Officer walked Eleyna and Gabe to the back of an ambulance and got them both a blanket. He fumbled around inside the ambulance looking for something when one of the medics ran back over. He looked Eleyna and Gabe over, gave a brief smile and then looked at the cop. "What are you doing? That thing isn't supposed to be yellow like that unless it's picked up a signal." He climbed into the squad, passed Eleyna and Gabe.
"I didn't touch anything over there. I was digging for bandages over on these shelves. Besides that is just one of the old mutant scanners." And then he stopped, frozen as his mind replayed the last few minutes. The medic had missed the earlier conversation but realized the impact, regardless. Slowly, both men turned to look at the 2 kids.
The medic took a step towards them, unsure if he should really approach or not. The cop placed one hand on his weapon and used his other to call out on his radio. "I need any available units over to squad 12 for a Code 10."
In an attempt to act normal he asked Gabe, "So, why aren't you kids in school, today?"

Mutants? Can it be related to Donaldson and Vineyard?
Seeing the situation, Andrew feels a bit uneasy, as he remembered all the discussions and had in the mornings, all the thoughts he had just wash from his head.
"Yes, you're right." He says with a smile. "Sorry, it is your day, shouldn't waste time like that. Come on, before your friends take all the interesting stuff."
He starts to walk back to the mall with Catherine on her side.
"So, what have you planned to look at first. Bikinis?" he asks with a obvioulsy taunting manner and with a big smile.

Kyle growls as he looks over from the cop to the two teens. "Damn, it's them I'm sensing I'll bet.." closes his eyes to double check his bearings. "they're so made.." He looks to Lorenzo and Jennifer. "You guys got any ideas how we can make a break for them?"Nuke261 said:

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2
Lorenzo just about choked as he heard Kyle ask his question, "Kyle, buddy, if I'm playing along and you're senses are what they are - why in the world would we want to be anywhere within a mile of them - with us the way we are. We're cutting class, minors, and potential mutants - according to you. That sounds like three strikes to me."
Lorenzo thought for a moment or two, still mulling over the random thought that entered his head that wasn't his. It had happened before, but Lorenzo had always brushed it off . . . this one though, the emotion, to powerful to be just passed by.
"Aw, heck. Gimme some ideas and I'll think about it," Lorenzo said, resigned, but still driving away from the scene.

"Cause, like their our friends, I would think that the best chance we have is hanging together and because it's the right thing maybe?" Kyle answers with an unsual amount of seriousness and intensity.
At that Kyle deflates, "That's the problem, I DON'T know what to do." He rubs his fingers together nervously and tries to think of something but he can't.Keia said:

"Kyle, do you have any idea what you're saying? If these guys catch us you're totaly screwed. I'd like to help them too but what can the three of us do?"
Jen looks out of the backwindow, trying to come up with any idea but this is a bit out of her league. She knows about her powers but she has no idea how they could help here in any way.

Eleyna Robertson
She felt completey and utterly horrible. Gabe was acting so protective of her, and nothing she did seemed to comfort him. All she wanted was for him to be okay... at least, that's what she kept telling herself. In truth, what she really needed was to stay with him. Somehow, Gabe was acting as a sort of anchor for her. Around him, she found it easier to keep calm. Eleyna did not know how badly things might turn out, but she thought it would be a little easier to take if Gabe was with her. "I... o-okay. I just... I don't want you t-to have t-to worry about this anymore."
"No... I... I don't think so. He probably just doesn't want to be the one to deal with us."
As if to confirm her theory, the officer radioed for assistance. She could feel the stares of the officer and medic as she waited for the A-M officers to arrive - it wouldn't be long now. She'd failed Gabe. They were going to be taken away, and nothing they said or did would help them now. She had powers, yes, they both had powers, but she had no real clue as to what they were or how to use them. And what was the point? If they started throwing their powers around, if they (if I) caused any more damage, it wouldn't be long before the government sent in the giant machines... she couldn't remember what they were called... Sentrys? To destroy them. It was over for them. Eleyna let go as her depression overwhelmed her. "No! I dont' want this. I'm so sorry!" She could feel pain welling up inside her again.
Only, just then, something happened. Somehow, this time the pain was different. It hurt like normal, inside her head and abdomen, but she could feel it in a different way. Her tears stopped momentarily as she noticed that the pain was... fluxuating. She could almost... control it. Ignoring the officer's question, she looked over at Gabe. "C-can you... d-do you know h-how to do what you... can you control it?"

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2
As Eleyna spoke about not wanting to worry Gabe, he squeezed her hand in a supportive manner.
"Eleyna, what..whatever happens..we'll get through this together."
Gabe's expression became grim as Eleyna voiced her opinion on the actions of the police officer, and he sighed tiredly.
"I was afraid you might say that."
As the cop radioed for assistance, Gabe's face became almost entirely expressionless. His grip on Eleyna's hand tightened, the only evidence that he was even taking the scene in. Gabe's mind raced frantically, trying to devise a plan of some kind. 'What do I do? They know now, and it won't be long before...fight or flee? Fight how? I don't know how my powers work..I could really hurt somebody, or do nothing at all. Flee..how? There're more of them, we're both tired and shaken up, and they have cars. Think, you idiot! There has to be something you can do! You can't fail Eleyna!'
As Eleyna spoke again, Gabe looked over at her in shock.
"Control it? I..I don't know. I've..I've never deliberately used it, in...in case."
'On the other hand, what have I got left to lose?'
A frown of concentration appeared on Gabe's face as he tried to conjure up the feeling he'd had a week 'Has it only been a week? It feels like a lifetime..' ago, when he'd activated his mutant abilities. He groped for the 'switch' in his head, probing at it as if it were a loose tooth, trying to find the key to his powers.
(OOC: And we'll see what Nuke has to say on the subject, I suppose.)

"It doesn't seem right to just.. watch them get taken away like.. criminals for the crime of existing you know." Kyle says grimly as he looks back too, his hand shifting back and forth as he fumes at the futility of their situation. Inside his mind he swears silently to himself as he takes in the scene. Never again, you two will be the only ones I fail to help if I have any say in it. Already the young man is looking for ways to put the tech he uses in his pranks to a better use.Radiant said:
