Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Lorenzo was pretty sure he never blinked but in the back of his mind the letters off the side of the truck had burned an image...

Sheriff's Office, S.W.A.T., Anti-Mutant

"Yeah, that cinches it, we're out of here," Lorenzo said, keeping an eye out for any other trucks that were not paying any attention to civilians. That's all they needed was to get hit by an SWAT anti-mutant team truck. "That was the county sheriff office truck, the one with the SWAT Anit-Mutant Team. No way can we put one over on those guys."

"I'm thinking our best way to help Elenya is not to compound the situation by getting into trouble also. Let's get to your uncle's place and see what we can do from there," Lorenzo offered.

"Wow, if they are using so much force they must think the two are pretty dangerous. But I guess your right, that's way out of out league."

Jen watches after the passing cars.
Great, I could resist a knife but what about a shotgun? That's nothing I want to test. And I wouldn't even know how to take out a police officer.
Or anyone else for that matter...

Kyle Graham, HP: 2/2

Kyle is strangely calm, working away on his PDA, his hand flickign back and forth with the stylus at rapid speed, his face holding a very uncharateristic serious look as he writes quickly.

He works from memory to recall on of the agents that came to the school last year for the career fair, and reluctantly settles on the one that stands best in his memory for two reasons. One she was a pretty chic, and two she was attached to a division out of state, Seattle if he remembers rightly. Let's see, she was my height, hazel eyes, red hair-shoulder length, tended towards suits and slacks-good point there- had a serious look in her eyes when she talked and was pretty quick to the point. He reminded himself as he pulled up a form and filled it out, coming up with a good recall of the woman as he worked on rebuilding what he could of her from the lecture and his run in with her afterwards. As he works on recalling the woman, he closes his eyes to to better concentrate on how she looked and talked and how her voice sounded, trying to build a good 'solid' image to work from.


FYI, Kyle will be trying to recall the male partner too, but he's a guy.. so he most likely only remembers the hot chic in a suit well.

Eleyna Robertson

Eleyna could feel pressure building inside her again, she knew the feeling, now, but could not seem to get ahold of, to make it do what she wanted. She could feel her heart racing as she watched Gabe, knowing what he was doing, and the Policeman.

Eyes fixed on Gabe, she watched him for no reason other than to distract her from the chaos ensuing around them. As she looked on Gabe, her guilt continued to ebb, manifesting physically in the form of her pain. Head and stomach throbbing, Eleyna felt the pressure building, yet fluxuating, as though she could manipulate it somehow. Gabe began to sweat, and she saw his face contort - confusion, pain, desperation - Eleyna saw all these things and more in his beautiful face before the officer spoke.

"Listen kids, no one wants to hurt you. We can figure this out but you need to relax so nothing crazy happens."

Eleyna's concentration had been broken. The officer had his gun drawn, and in the instant before Gabe spoke, she sensed the danger reaching a new level. Something was happening and she couldn't control it. It was too much for her. Suddenly, she heard Gabe speak, saw him move. Everything was so blurry, moving so slow. And once again, she felt something trigger inside her. Eleyna screamed, putting her hands to her ears and crouching as something inside her pushed outward. She felt her pain disappear... no, that wasn't it. It moved. For a second it was excrutiating - she punched the concrete as it left - and then it was gone. Quiet. Beyond exhaustion. Her eyes opened, her vision blurred. The first thing she saw was cracked pavement and her gashed, bloody fists.

"Oh great! Me and my curiosity. I have been stupid, and now we have to wait for some control. Great! Catherine, next time I want to bring you at something as stupid as going to look of what happen to an accident, remind me of today please, just so I feal cheap enough not to repeat the thing."

Corey Vinyard

"Ummmm, Corey? I believe this would fall under being somewhat...crapy. What the heck do we do now?"

"I knew this was a bad idea." Corey seems a little petulant.

Those machines spot mutants... maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they found me. At least I would know for sure. Wait, he said multiple hits! So there must be someone here other than me. Maybe it's not detecting me. Maybe I'm ok?

"HEY, WOULD YOU IDIOTS PLEASE STOP PUSHING, THIS ISN'T A HILARY DUFF CONCERT YA' KNOW!!

Sammy had been to his point, he had never been one for patients.

Shaken out of his thoughts by the shouting, Corey looks around again. What if the mutant that did this is still here? It must be someone pretty dangerous to make this mess.

Whitmyer Shopping Village, Accident Scene
It took a few minutes for the Police to get organized but it definitely happened. A hand full of cops were still investigating the accident scene. However, the rest of the Police and the A-M unit had organized a perimeter around the crowd. What it seemed like they were doing was sending people away from the accident and back to the mall. The strange part was they were checking IDs and it looked like the A-M unit was scanning people.

Catherine was not happy. "Why do we have to go through all of this. Did a mutant do this? Are there mutants here with us!" Her eyes darted wildly through the crowd. She was not alone, close to half the crowd had become more upset and were very agitated. Then Catherine noticed two boys from school in the crowd and pointed them out to Andrew.

The crowd was being thinned out and Andrew and Catherine were moving closer to the front of the line as Andrew looked back and saw Sammy and Corey.



Lorenzo's Car
Lorenzo, Jennifer and Kyle all began to breathe more normally again, although none of them noticed the difference. Lorenzo was following Kyle's directions and Jennifer seemed to be on lookout for any other Police.

Kyle was putting together a decent recreation of the agent from the school fair. The thought dawned on him that if he made this transformation it would be important for two reasons. The first was that it would be his first intentional transformation. The second was that he would be changing into a woman, again. He really hoped his powers let him turn into men as well, or else he was pretty certain he would need a great therapist at some point in life.

All three tried to look back to check on Gabe and Eleyna but they were out of site now.




Accident Scene At Eleyna's Car
It was almost like someone had started flicking the lights, except that they were outside during the day. Things happened in flashes. Gabe watched the back of the Ambulance with the cop and the medic, he stared at it. Then he let loose with the power that had built inside of him and when he opened his eyes again everything had changed. After the thundering crack that echoed down the street the cop and medic were no longer standing there. The cop was now in the front of the ambulance, laying over one of the seats and the medic was laying face down on the floor of the squad. The squad was different too. One of the doors had been pulled of and thrown towards the front of the vehicle, laying on the ground. The other seemed to bend around the side of the squad.

Gabe kept looking at the scene before him trying to comprehend what happened. It was hard to comprehend that he had created all of that. Then he heard Eleyna cry out and turned to see her punch her fist into the pavement. Actually the last thing he saw was her fist going down into the pavement, then he felt himself knocked back and hitting the ground. Then everything went black.

Eleyna looked directly down at her hand as she pulled it up and inspected it. She had no idea how she had done that but her hand had blood trickling from it and there was a hole in the pavement where her hand had just been. Actually there were now cracks in the road that had spider-webbed out from her impact. She looked up to see if Gabe and caught her display and realized that she was still dizzy. The sudden movement of her head did not help. She closed her eyes for a moment and realized that nothing inside of her hurt. She opened her eyes and saw the ambulance in front of her and then looked around and found Gabe laying on the ground.

As Eleyna moved to Gabe she saw and heard a large black truck pull onto the street. It had lights flashing on top of it, but no siren. Several men dressed in black helmets and armor quickly jumped out of it carrying rifles.

 

[Velmont]

"Relax Catherine, if it was a mutant who did this, there is enough authority around to stop him, there is no reason to get panicked," raising his voice to be overheard, "only to get irritated to have to do that twice a day. At school, then here, with my doc every three months..." back to normal tone, "Just some bad time to pass, it will be soon finish."

Andrew starts to scan the people who make the test, to see if he doesn't know someone

Eleyna Robertson

Eleyna looked directly down at her hand as she pulled it up and inspected it. She had no idea how she had done that but her hand had blood trickling from it and there was a hole in the pavement where her hand had just been. Actually there were now cracks in the road that had spider-webbed out from her impact. She looked up to see if Gabe and caught her display and realized that she was still dizzy. The sudden movement of her head did not help. She closed her eyes for a moment and realized that nothing inside of her hurt. She opened her eyes and saw the ambulance in front of her and then looked around and found Gabe laying on the ground.

As Eleyna moved to Gabe she saw and heard a large black truck pull onto the street. It had lights flashing on top of it, but no siren. Several men dressed in black helmets and armor quickly jumped out of it carrying rifles.

Holy &%@#!

What the hell am I going to do now? This just gets worse and worse...

Watching the truck move closer to herself and Gabe, Eleyna realized that she was out of ideas. The... troops?... ran toward them as she crouched by her friend. She no longer felt any pain (at least, no physical pain), but she was completely exhausted. All that remained was her guilt and an overwhelming tiredness.

Remembering her first aid certification, Eleyna checked Gabe's pulse and breathing, to make sure she hadn't killed him. God only knows just what the hell I'm capable of. Feeling a pulse, she took small comfort in knowing he was still alive - she hadn't killed him after all - just knocked him unconcious.

Eleyna tried to concentrate. Carefully, she weighed her options. The most obvious choice would be to surrender. If she took the blame for this chaos, then hopefully their attention would be diverted from Gabe. But, then again, with all their scanners and equipment, they would probably discover him soon after (if he didn't reveal himself first, the sweet, dumb guy). Her only other obvious option was to stay... to defend him. But, that would make it her against at least a dozen of the troops. Which would be crappy odds even without her knowing much about her powers. But, just then, it seemed a hell of a lot better than being arrested just for being... her.

Slowly, Eleyna stood up and stepped over Gabe. She reached inside, searching for the trigger to release her... powers. C'mon, where are you? Push!

"Please, please stay away from us! DON'T COME NEAR US!!!"

Kyle finishes up with the desription and shakes his head as he files it away for the moment, turning his attention to the woman's partner, trying to recall all he could about him. The guy was slender, almost six foot with a lanky build, but he couldn't recall the guy's face beyond some wild black hair cut.

"I'm working an angle, but I don't suppose you two remember the two feds that came to the school last year for the law enforcement fair? I'm having trouble remembering his face and name." Kyle says with a disgruntled sigh as he racks his memory. "I got his partner down pat, but figured it might be easier to try him. You guys remember anything?"
