DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #2

[Nuke261]

The two vehicles moved through the night, trying not to attract notice. They moved just below or over the speed limit and stopped only when necessary. Somehow, it seemed Lorenzo always knew when it was necessary. They drove as far as possible trying to ignore the fatigue that set in from the day's events. Finally it was too much to handle and Coach Shelton pulled the group over at a hotel. He rented three adjoining rooms so there was plenty of beds to go around.

Everyone managed to fall asleep fairly quickly, regardless of how much rest they had gotten or how much they focused on what they had been through. Coach Shelton gave them strict instructions not to leave their rooms and to call him when they were awake. They would sleep for the rest of the night and morning and start again in the early afternoon.

Lorenzo Reynolds Hps: 2/2

Lorenzo pulled his Monte Carlo into the hotel parking lot, parking near the back and out of the way to casual observers. Yeah, the walk was a little longer, but at least it was safe from curious eyes. Grabbing his overnight bag and some of the munchies from his mom, Lorenzo headed to one of the rooms, anxious for some sleep

In the hotel room, he was frustrated that although he was tired - he was still kinda wired. Instead, he turned the t.v. on low and listened to the news and sports for a bit before actually trying to crash. Leaning back in the bed to watch, Lorenzo didn't remember watching more than five minutes of it before falling asleep with the t.v. on.

Jennifer Allen

Jenn had plenty of rest but she feels drained from the whole experince nonetheless. Instead of sleeping she just sits in a corner, her legs drawn up to her and thinks about all that happened. And more importantly about what will happen.
The bag with guns is still beside her, reminding her how serious the situation is and not calming her down in the least.

Kyle Graham, hp 2/2

Kyle sleeps restlessly in the front as images of a half remembered infancy slip through his dreams. He recalls something but cannot quite see/remember it.

 

[Velmont]

Andrew is waken up as the vehicle stop. "Hmmm?" is he mumbling as he wakes up. He looks around and see the motel. He starts to remember everything that happen during the day and his quiet mind is again troubled. He walk inside his room and lay again in his bed, but that time, with the sleep he just got, he don't fall asleep yet. Not knowing what to do, he stares around the room and find it pretty empty and quiet. He open the drawer next to him and see the bible. He takes it and open it at a random page, and starts to read it, hoping that something boring will help him to sleep.

The night turned into morning with nothing interesting happening. Everyone seemed to get up by 9 or 10 and took turns showering and changing. People's spirits seemed a bit brighter as well. It seemed as if a good nights sleep and a fresh set of clothes could do quite a bit to change one's outlook. Coach Shelton mentioned that they may want to stock up on the hotel items like towels, soap and shampoo if they hadn't already.

After everyone had risen they made their way back into the vehicles and across the road to a Waffle house. It seemed Coach Shelton had stocked up cash since he paid for breakfast as well as the hotel with out breaking out the plastic. The group enjoyed a calm breakfast and joked back and forth between the booths they had occupied. Coach Shelton seemed to be smiling and enjoying the morning as well.

Gabe joked and ate with everyone else but started to look around the restaurant and out the windows. Gabe was sure he could hear police radios and some kind of strange static but, there was nowhere the noises could be coming from. The road outside was relatively calm with some simple traffic, including two semi trucks. Nothing looked out of the ordinary at all.

When Andrew recieves his eggs with sausages and fried potatoes and a big chocolat milk glass, he says "Good bye diet!"

He slowly starts to eat his plate as he start to read the journal he has taken on the other table. Nothing new at first sight, so he leaves it for a moment, listening to the conversation of the others. "Who's driving today. Both of you are still willing to take the wheel?"

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe stopped eating for a moment, food halfway to his mouth as he heard the sounds. 'What the..? His food obviously forgotten, he cocked his head, listening intently. 'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Putting down his food, Gabe placed both hands on the table, either side of his plate and closed his eyes, trying to either find the source of the noise or to try and make out what was being said. Everyone at the table felt it shake ever so slightly as a few uncontrolled ripples of sound pulsed out of Gabe's hands, his tight concentration triggering a slight manifestation of his powers. 'Come on, focus. What are they saying? What do they want?' Gabe's mouth moved as he quietly murmered along with what he was hearing, his voice exactly replicating the sounds.

Lorenzo Reynolds HP 2/2

Lorenzo enjoyed his breakfast with the others, laughing and joking around. Everyone seemed in better spirits, especially Coach Shelton. 'Big change from last night and all day yesterday,' Lorenzo thought. 'Wonder what's got him in such a good mood?'

Lorenzo sent out tentacles of thought, looking to see what was going on in Coach's head.

"Who's driving today. Both of you are still willing to take the wheel?"

"Yeah, I plan on driving," Lorenzo replied, "otherwise I'd be sleeping in the back. Depends on how long were driving though. What do you think, Coach?"

Corey Vinyard

Corey sits in the corner and quietly watches the others as he usually does, so quickly notices Gabes odd behavior. But rather than say anything, he just stops eating and leans forward to try and hear what Gabe is mumbling.
