DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #2

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe smiled greatfully at Eleyna as he lay back, finally letting his exhaustion catch up with him. He started for a moment as Eleyna lay down next to him, obviously catching him by surprise. He looked like he was about to say something, but then stopped, instead just reaching over and squeezing Eleyna's hand. Then he relaxed, lying back again, just enjoying her comforting presence as he drifted off to sleep. 'For a day that started out so horribly...this isn't so bad..'

"Knock it off! All of you need to understand, right now, that all you can depend on is each other. Keep bickering and you will make yourselves easy targets for the authorities." Coach Shelton glared at Andrew, Jennifer and Sammy and then walked into the kitchen where he searched through the fridge for something to eat.

Corey follows the rest of the group in a daze. Never come back? What about school? What about college? How'd they know? "Coach... coach, how do they know about us? I mean, the ones of us that didn't get caught. We didn't get, like, scanned or anything. Isn't... don't..." Corey trails off, and continues staring at the floor.

"Corey, honestly, they probably don't know about each of you. You, Allen, Reynolds and Graham they probably have no idea about. But the have scanners and they check people a lot. You can't get near a government building, airport or amusement park without going through a scanner." He put a bowl of pasta in the microwave as he continued to talk.

"They shouldn't know a lot of detail about any of your powers. The facilities in Smalltown are not state of the art. They would have a rough idea of how powerful the others are and if their powers are mental, physical or energy based. No way they have exact data on anyone here. That's a lot harder to decipher and takes longer than an hour or two."

Coach Shelton looked over the room of teenagers, eager to sleep but still listening to him.

"Right now they now that four of you are mutants. There's going to be a lot of confusion around town. Go ahead and grab naps. I'll wake you in about 2 hours, that should be about 9:30 or so. We'll head into town for those who need it. I'll get Catherine back safe and then we'll pack up here and I'll lead you out of the county. I've got to make some calls. You guys stay inside and try and relax." He offered them a warm smile. It was a little different to see that kind of smile from the coach. But it felt good.

Coach Shelton piled some pasta on a plate, poured a large mason jar full of iced tea and headed into his 'war room.' And shut the door

Jennifer Allen

"Knock it off! All of you need to understand, right now, that all you can depend on is each other. Keep bickering and you will make yourselves easy targets for the authorities." Coach Shelton glared at Andre, Jennifer and Sammy and then walked into the kitchen where he searched through the fridge for something to eat.

"Sure, they'll send a horde of sentinels right away cause we're arguing here."
She's only speaking loud enough for herself and Lorenzo to hear it since she doesn't want to hear any more of it. Or get lectured by the coach again... .

"You're right coach." is the only word that Andrew could figure out. He was exhausted, but he wanted to write a letter. He starts to search the Coach's place to find a pencil and some papers.

He sits at the table, with some ice tea and an apple next to him to give some strength. he starts to write down:

Dear father, dear mother,

By the time you'll read this, you'll surely know the news. It looks like I am a mutant. I have been arrested during some incident near the mall. They have keep me captive for some time, but while transfering us, an accident happen, and we escape. I am safe presently. I hope the guards are well. I havn't nothing against them. But I won't come back home, and I won't surrender to authorities. I don't want to be labelled as dangerous and get killed for something I am, not something I have done. If my powers are really dangerous to others, I'll take the measure needed to harm no one. I just want to live, peacefully and far from all what happen here.

It may be the last time you'll ever heard of me. I want to tell you not to blame yourself for anything that happen. nothing is your fault, and you have done a great job with me. I won't forget what you taught me. I love you, and take care of yourself, I am old enough to take care of myself.

Your son,
Andrew

Andrew puts down the pencil and stares for a moment to his letter.

Eleyna Robertson

Gabe smiled greatfully at Eleyna as he lay back, finally letting his exhaustion catch up with him. He started for a moment as Eleyna lay down next to him, obviously catching him by surprise.

Then he relaxed, lying back again, just enjoying her comforting presence as he drifted off to sleep. 'For a day that started out so horribly...this isn't so bad..'

After Coach Shelton left the room, Eleyna closed her eyes and felt herself slipping away into sleep. She moved closer to Gabe, and whispered to him, "Gabe, hold on to me. Please."

After Coach Shelton left the room, Eleyna closed her eyes and felt herself slipping away into sleep. She moved closer to Gabe, and whispered to him, "Gabe, hold on to me. Please."

Gabe embraced Eleyna almost as soon as she'd spoken, evidently only his inherent nervousness having kept him from doing so before that point. He sighed and quietly whispered. "E-eleyna..I'm kind of afraid that when I wake up, I'm going to be back in that cell and find out I dreamt all of this..but even if that's this case...this is a good dream. Just...I'm just hoping this'll still be real when I wake up."

Just...I'm just hoping this'll still be real when I wake up."

Her eyes still closed, Eleyna smiled as Gabe embraced her. The warmth of his body comforted her greatly. His soft voice soothed her, even as he confessed his fears. Silently grasping one of his hands in hers, she brought it to her face and assured him, "This is real. I'm here with you now. We're with friends. And, I don't know how, exactly, but I know we're gonna be okay. So, just keep holding on to me and let's get some sleep. 'Kay?"

Gabe gently stroked Eleyna's face for a moment, before moving and kissing her gently on the forehead. Settling down again, he murmured a soft sound of affirmation as the warmth of Eleyna and his own exhaustion pulled him inexorably into sleep.

Lorenzo Reynolds Hps: 2/2

"Sure, they'll send a horde of sentinels right away cause we're arguing here."

"Heh, heh," Lorenzo chuckled. "You comfy? Need a blanket?"

Lorenzo wondered if he had that mind move stuff power, and glanced around for a throw, or blanket or something. Not seeing anything close at hand, he grabbed his leather long coat (without getting up) and draped it over Jennifer. Then, Lorenzo relaxed, thinking of what lay ahead.

'Wonder if LeBron is a mutant?' Lorenzo thought.

 

[Radiant]

"Heh, heh," Lorenzo chuckled. "You comfy? Need a blanket?"

"Don't know what you had in your drinks to knock you out this early but I'm awake enough."
She smiles up in his face.
"Just took a break and you looked deceptively like a cushion."

Lorenzo wondered if he had that mind move stuff power, and glanced around for a throw, or blanket or something. Not seeing anything close at hand, he grabbed his leather long coat (without getting up) and draped it over Jennifer. Then, Lorenzo relaxed, thinking of what lay ahead.

"Well if you put it like that."
She folds herself up under the coat, for once not caring if it looks suitably immpresive and closes her eyes. Despite her words she dozes of nearly instantly, it has been one hell of day.
She tries some weak protest before that but she's allready drifting of.
"You know I will so blame you for my messed up hair then I wake up..."
