Jennifer Allen
"Comfy."
Jennifer throws herself on the couch. She's sure they will have a terribly long talk now and she intends to be as comfortable as possible during it. Of course she's sitting in the perfect position to the door, coat wide open, one leg on the couch. If anyone looks at her he would think some professionell photographer arranged the position.
"Hey Corey, look what Zo brought in. Hi guys, glad you could make it. Couldn't leave you in the hands of the feds now could we."

Valerie Dobson aka Kyle Graham hp 2/2
Kyle moves over to sit on one end of the couch and looks over at Jenn, speaking in a low voice while she looks around. "And Eleyna got the same creeped out look when I told her who I was. So I think it's offical, I got the creepy power here."

"Not liking, just not too eager to slip out of form, it hurt like hell just to 'youthen' her up..not telling what it would feel like to change back all the way. As for earlier.. I don't know.." shrugs. "My uncle said I was a natural actor..and I just put it in as a role." looks at her. "I know you're not happy with me.." sighs. "Look, I never meant you to know ..you know..that I liked you. You're in the 'popular' crowd, I know I didn't have a chance with you."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2
Gabe's standing there with a slightly puzzled expression on his face as Eleyna approaches. As she speaks, he turns, smiling in a slightly uncertain way. "Yeah, I, uh...heard. Not all of it, but bits. I'm going to have to try and get used to this 'super-ears' thing." Shaking his head and obviously putting musings on his powers to one side, Gabe gently squeezes Eleyna hand and smiles at her. "And as to your earlier question, I'm OK. Whatever Sammy did, it really worked. I'm not in a hurry to get shot again, though." Gabe's face clouds for a moment at the thought, but he once again pushes his musings to one side. Leaning close to Eleyna, Gabe whispers "Are you alright? And do you have any idea what happens next? I'd really like to know why this guy rescued us." Gabe's stomach suddenly rumbles and he looks sheepish. "Though, I admit, if he offers us food and somewhere to sleep, I could postpone that question.."

Eleyna Robertson
"Y-yeah, I'm okay. My head hurts again, and it scares me. When I got stressed out this morning, my head hurt really bad and that's when it... when I..." She trailed off, simply squeezing his hand in return. "I feel better having my pow... having them back, but I... I just don't know how to control them. It just scares me, is all."
She pulled him over to the couch. Before sitting down, she scanned the room for anything strange. Of course, the entire place was alien to her, but nonetheless, she continued to look for anything out of place. In a hushed tone, she answered Gabe's second question. "I don't know what to do. He says he's gonna give us answers, and I've got, like, a million questions, so... I dunno."
When she saw that everybody was in the room, Eleyna suddenly turned to the Swede and fired at him, "Okay, 'Swede,' we're here. Now tell us who you are."

The Swede's Hideout
The Swede walked inside carrying Catherine's sleeping body. Without saying a word, he walked through the house, placed her on the bed and closed the bedroom door as he walked back out of the room.
Sammy shuffled his way inside and grabbed a kitchen chair. He pulled it into the room but pretty much as away from everyone as he could. Andrew made his way inside and barely bothered to look around. His eyes were wide but it was obvious he was worried about Catherine more than anything else. The Swede walked out into the garage and looked around. A few beeps could be heard and then the garage door lowered. He walked back in and stood facing the group.
"Anyone who is hungry can feel free to raid the fridge. Not a ton in there but plenty to feed the bunch of you. We'll get down to business as soon as I change out of this outfit." As he spoke, he reached up and removed his helmet. The shiny metal and leather costume was a sharp contrast to the older, weathered face of Coach Shelton. "I'll only be a minute." With that he walked into a darkened room on the other side of the kitchen.
True to his word, Coach Shelton reappeared in no time. He was wearing an old U.S. Marines t-shirt and camouflage b.d.u. pants, his bare feet sticking out from under the pant legs. He got a beer from the kitchen and pulled a stool into the room with everyone.
"We'll start with my story and then get to you kids." He took a big drink from his can and then set it aside. "I grew up in Smalltown an joined the Marines a few years after high school. Everything was still pretty normal at that point. Then some mutant terrorists killed Senator Robert Kelly and all mutants became outlaws in their own skins. I'm sure you know all of that from your history books though, right." He offered a small smile.
"I was transferred into a special unit. The unit was for super human pacification. They didn't have Sentinels ready to go yet and they wanted to feel like the could do something so they took every experiment they had been working on and dumped it all into us. There were two dozen Marines that got turned into watered down Captain America's. But we were on short leashes and our mission was simple, ferret out and super powered resistance and eliminate it. Our squadron was named the Hounds." He stopped for a moment to see if it was sinking in.
"We thought it was great. We got to be junior super heroes and work with SHIELD to dig out any mutant bad guys. But that didn't last long. Pretty soon we were being sent after anyone with super powers. It became obvious that we were just the point men for a war against powers. The Sentinels came online and it was on. Full blown war. We were going after anyone with a mutant gene. A lot of people didn't like that, so then we got sent after them. A lot of those people were super heroes, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, New Warriors, didn't matter. All of a sudden we weren't so proud of what we were doing anymore. SHIELD felt the same way and turned on the U.S. Government. Now they were a bad guy. Luckily, my unit knew some of those guys pretty well. We staged a huge battle, us against SHIELD, an d everyone died. At least that's the way it looked."
"SHIELD high command wiped our files, there was no record of us anywhere. We disappeared and started new lives. But we didn't stop fighting. We became the backbone of the resistance. The Mutant Underground Railroad. We dug into positions in major cities where we could make a difference and we fought a new fight. I had some friends from high school, a few buddies I stayed close to. One of them was a cop. He saw the winds changing and tried to warn me but I didn't see it until it was to late. Once I got out I found out that him and another friend of ours started the Underground Railroad right here in Smalltown. When I got word, I made my way back here, only it was too late. My friend, the cop, he was gone. Dead. He was helping a bunch of school kids who had no idea they were mutants or what was happening to them. They were going to be shipped off to prison and killed. My buddy got himself on that transport and got the kids out of there. He got the kids to safety but he got caught and went down fighting."
Coach Shelton got quiet for a minute and took another drink from his beer. "His other buddy in the resistance told me about that. he was a school teacher in Cleveland and he explained how a teacher with the right knowledge and motives could hide kids from the gen scans. So I got into the school system and started doing just that. That's why there hasn't been a mutant detected here for years. Theres been plenty of them, but I get them out. Just like I was going to do with you, well some of you. I didn't even know about most of you until this morning. Robertson. Ward. Allen. Vinyard. I knew about you guys and was working to get you out. Then they moved the damn gen scan." He slammed his fist into his hand as he finished his sentence. He stopped talking at that point and stared at each of them. For the first time ever, they saw Coach Shelton look sad.

"You missed one Coach.. Graham." she says with a sigh. "I think it's safe to say I'm one too, you don't shift your shape at will without something quirky in the dna." Kyle adds with a smile. "Problem is.. my power hurts.. a lot.. and well, I also got this.. knack for mutants." sweeps a hand over the room. "You and Catherine don't show up, but everyone else does."
