It was Amanda.  She told Kyle she was sorry for how she acted.  She had missed him and wanted to see him but never thought about how the day was affecting him.  She knew he needed to spend time with his friends and that was fine.  She was not going back to Philadelphia for a week and she would like it if he called her sometime.  Corey did offer that if they needed a vehicle to use, Sammy's was at the mall and would simply get traced back to a captured mutant.  They had gotten serious and started making some hard choices.  Things would never be the same for any of them and right now, none of them seemed to care.</blockquote>
