DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

Sammy Donaldson

Somebody yelled, "That kids a mutie!" Then everything went wild. More cops ran over and the crowd ran towards them trying to get away from the mutant. This panicked the cops as a large crowd rushed them. Sammy yelled for Corey to run and Corey heard something about meeting back at the truck in twenty minutes but all he cared about was getting away form this spot.

" A what!? How....me?"

Sammy was just in aw, watching everybody freak out because of him. Are they all crazy? They didn't even know him. Now people are yelling "he's a mutie" at him! The cops were all in defensive positions, all them surrounding him. Sammy had no clue what to do! The only thing he did know was that from here on out....it was all about survival!

"Run Corey!" Sammy had screamed in a vicious warrior cry. Sammy's heart raced, his adrenaline pumped and hit like heavyweight punches. He had never felt so much of it, his vains burned with it. No wonder ordinary people could lift cars, he felt so alive, so powerful. Sammy paused in a position of instinct with his knees bent, his body weight lowered to the ground for good balance. His fists both closed tight, ready to fight his way out. The smoke around him darkened, the deep sufficating odor of his clothes continuing to smolder made it almost impossible to breath but he'd never show it. He could see his shoulder out of the corner of his eyes as he scans the crowd for an exit. Waves of heat causing the world around him to seem to distort slightly.

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Kyle shakes his head. "I get the 'feel' that there is something different about you all, but nothing beyond that."

"Well, I suppose that's something," Lorenzo said, not really certain how to react to the news that he 'might' be a mutant. He wasn't looking for this kind of trouble, but he would shrink away from it either. Lorenzo still hadn't moved from his relaxed position on the couch, arms up behind his head with his fingers interlocked. He looked to Jennifer and smiled reassuringly, hoping to remain relaxed on the exterior even though his mind was a jumble of thoughts.

"No idea what though, huh? That's not very cool, I could set off a mutant sensor but not even know what it is that I do." Lorenzo finished. He thought for a minute more then added, "Hey, Kyle, can you tap into the police bands so that we can find out what's happening over there - and maybe where they're going?"

"Maybe we should give the Coach a call - he seemed to have some idea, and the pieces are starting to fall in place," Lorenzo also added. "Plus, we need more help, maybe he could come over here and tell us what's going on."

"Okay, I'll tap the police system and you call the coach, asking him to come over and all that." Looks really put off that he couldn't think of a way to save his freinds by himself as he sits down and starts typing away on the keyboard rapidly.

Corey Vinyard

As Corey nervously scanned the area, he looked at Andrew again, and, to his surpise, Andrew was looking back. He watched for a second as Andrew and Catherine were led into the van with the strange blue light. But before he could even wonder what it meant, someone screamed 'Mutie!' and all hell broke loose.

He heard Sammy say something about running and meeting at the truck in 20 minutes, and as the crowd around him started to panic, and the police line started straining, he gave into the instinct he'd been fighting off since the crowd first formed. Corey ran. Pushing anyone he could out of his way, not even thinking about where he went, he just ran.

Eleyna Robertson

Orignally Posted by Gabe
"Eleyna...you don't need to apologise. I know the feeling, thinking that nobody else will understand how you feel. I should have tried harder to talk to you, to find out what was wrong. I just...I wasn't brave enough. I've never been good at approaching people...especially when I have feelings for them. And..I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. But from now on...I will be. Whatever happens."

Gabe's eyes held Eleyna's attention for a moment before she spoke again. She could feel his concern, so genuine, in every word. He made her feel like everything was okay. A peculiar feeling, given their current situation. And yet, there it was. Gabe's very presence seemed to give life to even the slightest hope in her.

"Gabe... thanks. I... it's... I'm not your responsibility. I wasn't then, and I'm not now. I just... I wanted you to... I wanted you to know that I wasn't trying to... hurt you in any way. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. It's just that... I didn't want anyone to... to... to have to deal with my problems."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

"Gabe... thanks. I... it's... I'm not your responsibility. I wasn't then, and I'm not now. I just... I wanted you to... I wanted you to know that I wasn't trying to... hurt you in any way. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. It's just that... I didn't want anyone to... to... to have to deal with my problems."

Gabe knew he should be feeling worse than he was; more scared, more panicked about their predicament. But with Eleyna there, he felt he had the fear under control. Even though they were in deep trouble, Eleyna was there..and though it was irrational, part of him was saying that that somehow made it alright. His heart twisted painfully as she spoke, affection for her almost overwhelming him at her words. 'She's always trying not to hurt people, to do best for everybody else...no matter what it costs her. That's one of the things I love about her.'

Tears seemed to be standing in Gabe's eyes as Eleyna finished talking, an expression of mingled warmth, understanding and powerful admiration on his face.

"I know you weren't trying to hurt anyone, Eleyna. I know that sometimes...you don't want to tell other people your problems, because you think it'd make trouble for them. You're...you're the most selfless person I know. Eleyna...what happens to you..it matters to me. A lot. You...you don't have to deal with your problems alone any more. I...I know you might be feeling that you're causing trouble for me, but...but I don't regret anything about today. I want to be there for you, Eleyna. I want to share your problems. And...and I'm going to stay with you. Whatever happens."

Jen lounges on the couch and stares at the ceiling. She has no idea how to do this and so she doesn't intend to get a headache over it.
She listens to the conversation on one ear only and suddenly throws in a half hearted question.

"Kyle do you know of those scanner only detect if mutants are close to it or can it make them out individually?"

"Well without some idea of operational specs, I would imagine that they are able to distinguish down to a discrete point that allows for the identification of indivigual mutants." Kyle sighs and leans back. "But without some idea of how the darn things operate I can cause enough havoc to do anything that would help my pplan."

Sammy Donaldson

As Sammy poised he saw movement to his left flank, Corey bum rushed the crowd pushing people left and right. For that moment Sammy was honored to be witness to Corey's warrior side. Its amazing what a person can do when they are backed into a corner. It motivated Sammy, inspired even. He just knew....he would see Corey at that truck.

Sammy turned to head through the opposite direction while everyone was panicked and running like rats even more scared because of Corey's rush.
The screams and tension were like nothing Sammy had ever seen or heard if he made it out of this he was so gonna laugh at this later! Between that, the adrenaline, and this new feeling he's never felt before. He didn't know if it was because he was scared to death, pissed, or just crazy..but, whatever it was he knew right away...he loved it! Something to brake the mundane. However, the squad of A-M cops and regular beat cops trying to maintain the scene was another source of tension all together. The smoke was getting worse and was making it impossible to breath. Sammy took off his shirt and t-shirt to try to clear the smoke. His arms and chest were red as all get out, not sunburn red or embarrassment red...but red like, like fire!

Sammy looks ahead toward to the crowd to his right, he darts heading right for the crowd, as Corey did. Sammy then throw his shirt into the face of a some guy who had been just froze there with another gentlement who looked like they were sales personnel in the mall. All dressed in the latest fashions..an easy target...he screamed..."aahhhh mutie germs...I've been infected....help me....oh god!" As Sammy ran entering the crowd he noticed the people diving out of the way of both him and the shirt he had thrown. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all....

"Okay . . . but I don't have his number," Lorenzo replied. "I can try the school - and his extension."

Lorenzo hunted down the phone in Kyle's uncle's place and made the call.
