DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #1

Corey Vinyard

The sound of gunshots drew Corey's attention back down to the earth.

Their trying to kill him! Why'd it have to be Sammy, out of all the people in that crowd? As if my life wasn't complicated enough, now I have to watch the cops gun down one of my friends. But he's a mutant... what are they supposed to do with a flying bunsen burner?

As another series of shos rang out, Corey remembered what that noise actually meant, and ran for cover.

OOC: He'll try to find a spot where he's concealed from the fight, but can still see what's going on.

Damn those guys. They have there idea and will take hold at it... Sammy is a mutant? That would make three of us that suddenly appear at school. How many more? What the hell is happening here, so much mutant in a so small time. It is a witch hunt, and they'll burn us a way or the other, litterally or slowly, as we will have to defend ourselves. Guilty until proven innocent. No use to think of that. Let's keep your energy on Catherine.

"Catherine. Are you alright? All will be good. You just made the test, impossible you are one, or they would have detect you this morining. You don't become a mutant in 1 hour. All will be ok, just a bad day. Just a crap it happened today. Just a crap it happen at all..."

While talking, Andrew put his hand in Catherine's hair, and play with them, slowly, to calm her down.

Sammy Donaldson

Sammy felt like this was the best day of his life! He always knew he was different than everyone else but now there was no doubt! The feelings inside were incredible, like he had not been alive until now. And the thrill of being able to fly through the air just by thinking about it...amazing! He just knew there was nothing that could ruin his day.

The next thing he heard was loud pops and bangs from somewhere below him. He looked around to see four cops pointing guns at him. He maneuvered around to get a better view and also noticed 2 of the SWAT-AM cops getting a couple of hi-tech looking rifles ready.

"Are those cops really shooting at me? For cryin' out load people I'm 15 years old!" Sammy mumbles to himself. "Ok Ok those other guns sure don't look promising! I've gotta get the hell out of dodge before things get really bad!"

I could fly straight out of here but, they more then likely already have a plan of action for that...have to do something that will throw them off. I have to shut this stuff off...and .....and oh, sh*% on me!...I'm freakin' naked! I'm up above everyone being shot at...and I'm damn stark ass naked! This just isn't living up to the potential it should be. I should be stoked about flying around at my will.....on fire...but being naked above Smalltown isn't exactly the cats meow. Dang it, that was my favorite Superman shirt too!

S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Whitmyer Shopping Village
Andrew tried to calm Catherine. Unfortunately, Catherine was not responding to any events from the last 15 minutes, very well. "Why....what....I don't understand this. Don't they have ways to make sure they get mutants? How can we be here? If anyone finds out......Oh no! The girls are in the mall! If they find out or even saw us, that is all anyone will ever talk about! And my parents....." Catherine's sobs drowned out any other panic she tried to vocalize.

To make matters worse, Andrew could clearly hear gun shots outside of the van.



Whitmyer Shopping Village
The Police officers fired at Sammy again. This time he could clearly see the shots fired at him. They all missed him, but he could have sworn he heard 2 of them sizzle as they came near him. These guys did not want to take any chances, they obviously had no problems shooting a fire-being flying around the sky.

Corey made his way over to a side entrance to one of the mall department stores and watched events from around the corner of a pillar. He had to watch, he was not sure what else he could do. He just did not want to watch as a friend from school was shot and captured by the police.



Kyle's Family's Home
Jen and Lorenzo made it safely upstairs. Once they were out of site Kyle peeked through the curtains and saw a young girl standing on the doorstep. She had turned to look back at the street so Kyle could not see her face. From what he could see she was about his age and very cute. She had shoulder length blondish-brown hair and wore a tight long-sleeve t-shirt that stopped at the waistline of her dark khaki cargo pants.

Kyle didn't recognize her as much as he wished that he did. This truly was not a normal day.



S.W.A.T.-A.M. Truck, Residential Area
The cop simply laughed at the verbal outburst from Gabe and Eleyna. He moved to a console on the wall, turning it on. "Dumb kids, think you have it all figured out. Got all the answers that the rest of us can't figure out." He looked back at them for a moment. "Gotta admit though, I don't remember ever bringing in any kids before. At least not locals." He then went back to his workstation.

"For the record, I would stop worrying about the rest of the world's problems and start thinking about yours. We'll be on station in about 5 or 10 minutes."

The cop simply laughed at the verbal outburst from Gabe and Eleyna. He moved to a console on the wall, turning it on. "Dumb kids, think you have it all figured out. Got all the answers that the rest of us can't figure out." He looked back at them for a moment. "Gotta admit though, I don't remember ever bringing in any kids before. At least not locals." He then went back to his workstation.

"For the record, I would stop worrying about the rest of the world's problems and start thinking about yours. We'll be on station in about 5 or 10 minutes."

For the first time since they entered the truck, Gabe raised his voice."You arrogant, self-righteous ba..!" The boy abruptly throttled his outburst, biting back whatever he was about to say. 'That's not going to do any good! Angry's fine, but try and stay calm too, otherwise you might miss something. Gabe clenched his hands, an expression of disgust on his face, but his mind was racing. '*Never*? There haven't been *any*kids picked up as mutants here since this guy remembers? Surely that's impossible! What's going on?' Bewildered and fighting the urge to shout some more at the cop, Gabe surreptitiously tried to see what the console the guy had pressed was, craning his neck as much as he could in the restraints.

"Catherine, calm down. It is just a mistake. If you really were a mutant, you would have been detected at school." He say, taking her in his arms. "They will see there mistake and will clean you of all of this. You're parents will learn the accident, but as you are not a mutant, they will support you throught all this. And the others at school have no reason to learn this incident. Your firends at the mall, we will just tell them we choosed to escape from them to have some time for just the two of us, and no other one will ever learn about it."

And so she will be clean of all, but me? What if I am a mutant. I will lost her. Her paranoia about mutant may be stronger of her love for me. Maybe if we are both mutants... what I am thinking, wiching her to be a mutant just to keep her at my side. If we are both not mutant, all will be perfect, all that will be true. But are we normal? And if I am the only mutant, I will lose her, I will lose all what I have work for. The football, the school. They may even tell that I was that good just because I was a mutant. Maybe they will be true. Stop thinking about all that. You are not a mutant Andrew... I hope.

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

"At least not yet."

Lorenzo smiled and ran his hand through his dark brown hair, in a motion of being slightly confused. He checked the door to make certain it was open just a crack – so both could hear if something were happening downstairs. Lorenzo then sat on the bed, adjacent to the way Jennifer was currently laying on it, reclining back on his elbows.

“Of course, I’m not really interested in my worth, Jen, and your worth . . . well, they can’t even put a number to something like that,” Lorenzo said turning to her. “But a girl who can think on her feet . . . or off of them,” Lorenzo winked, “is funny, relaxed, and tough as well – that’s something to treasure. And that’s not even talking about cool abilities. Who knows, maybe Catherine’s been detained for the mutant ability to be a pain in the rear.”

Lorenzo chuckled at the thought, then got serious for a moment – realizing that he wouldn’t wish that on anyone – at least the detained part. Lorenzo shook it off, then leaned in closer to Jennifer.

“I’m not even certain about my abilities – hope it’s not the ability to get women into bed with him . . . wait . . . hey, it’s working!!” Lorenzo added with a grin.

Kyle opens the door with a shy but helpful look on his face. "Hi, can I help you?" he asks, all the while keeping one ear peeled for imminet cops from his attempts at computer larceny. He had to get Jen and Lorenzo out of here before they got cuaght for his goof.

The A-M officer's response, which simply brushed their own comments aside, only enraged Eleyna more. Teeth clenched, she listened with satisfaction to Gabe's reaction, but was disappointed when he cut himself short. More than anything, she wanted to make the officer (not just the officer... the whole freakin' country) understand what was happening. Humanity was increasing the divide between human- and mutant-kind. They were creating a war between humans and mutants. Worst of all, since passing the Mutant Registration Act, the U.S. had begun committing countless atrocities it had fought against since it's formation! Mutants' freedoms and personal liberties were being taken from them every day. They were being singled out and forced to register themselves for being "different." And they were being killed by the thousands - a mass genocide unheard of since World War II.

The simple truth was that she had let herself become angry. Having lashed out, instead of thinking rationally, Eleyna had only made a tense situation worse. But who could blame her? Their lives were over. In about 10 minutes, she and Gabe would be registered as mutants and on her way to a work camp. Two more casualties to the hate and fear or an ignorant nation. And it didn't help matters that the officer was making his snide comments during this... the worst day of her life.

"How does it feel, then? To know that you're... we're just two freakin' teenagers, and you're leading us to die. To break our backs working in a camp until we die. Doesn't that mean anything to you? Don't you feel anything about this? It's wrong! It's wrong, and, and, and it takes away our freedom! For all the good it'll do, you may as well have shot us back there in the street! My grandfather fought in Europe, against Nazi f*#$ing Germany to stop $&!* like this from happening in the world. And what was it for? If you do this... If America keeps doing this... then what was the point of American soldiers fighting for it, dying for it back then? By doing this, you're... you're making yourself an accessory to... to genocide! How does it feel?"

These guys did not want to take any chances, they obviously had no problems shooting a fire-being flying around the sky.

]"Jimm-uh-nee Christmas on a cracker!" Sammy had barked while he had been trying to duck from the incoming fire in mid-air.

I can't beleive they're really, really SHOOTING AT ME! This isn't really life, this is a freakin' comic book! This just doesn't happen......to me!

Um...Um...ok crap....um...first thing.....people are shooting at me and second...I'm on fire about 250 feet in the air.....and third those are really big guns those A-M kats are pointing and I'm not staying here to find out what the h-e- double hockey sticks those thing do! I'm getting out of sight....fast!

As Sammy turns to leave he remembers seeing Andrew and Catherine being put into the A&M truck...... leave Sammy....go...your not really that stupid are you? What if all the sudden your powers wear off or something...maaaan...I so hope I don't live to regret this.....or oh double maaan....not live to regret it!
