"Canada?" Sammy had whispered to himself.

"Well, Miss Allen-know-it-all, I made myself no illusion about Catherine, but I was confortable with her. It was well enough for me. And why I am taking care of her it is because it is my fault if she is here presently, I want to be sure there is no harm done. I don't get rid of my responsabilities.

"Andrew, you need to remove your head from Catherine's ass....seriously, I'm ill enough.
Besides, I don't know Jen all that well. But, I think she could take you." Giving a Jen a quick wink.

"Coach, I need to stop at my house. I owe them that much. Besides I need my hardware.
Also, Coach um, what exactly do about clothing and bursting into flames? I never did pick up those Lucky brand flame retarded jeans. Any ideas?"

Kyle speaks up, still sounding spent and exhuasted, but with a little more color in his face. "People. Focus on the now. Bitch at each other AFTER we're safely across whatever border coach is sneaking us across."

"I miss the old Kyle but you do have a point. So what's the plan coach?"
Planning on how to run from the government somehow never played a big part in her plan for the future.

“Nahh, no such luck,” Lorenzo replied. “Just gathered up everything from the truck so coach here could ditch it . . . the truck that is.”

Jenn slides completly from the couch, coming to rest easily on the floor,the back of her head on Lorenzo's lap.
"Sigh, sometimes I wonder why I keep you."

"Andrew, you need to remove your head from Catherine's ass....seriously, I'm ill enough.
Besides, I don't know Jen all that well. But, I think she could take you." Giving a Jen a quick wink.

"Coach, I need to stop at my house. I owe them that much. Besides I need my hardware.
Also, Coach um, what exactly do about clothing and bursting into flames? I never did pick up those Lucky brand flame retarded jeans. Any ideas?"

Sammy manages to summon a not too pleasant looking grin on Jennifer's face but she doesn't say more to it.

"Graham, I'm not sure I know what you mean. I really don't know a whole lot about the particulars of my abilities, I just know they work." Coach Shelton stood up from his stool and stretched slightly. "Why don't you guys crash out in the living room. You can eat too if you want. I'll give you about three hours and then anyone who needs can catch a ride into town. Does that work for everyone? You are all wound pretty tight right now and could use the rest."

As they got up and started to move around, the Coach stopped next to Sammy. "You know, these uniforms they have you in look a lot like unstable molecules. I bet if you powered up, this thing would be fine. But let's not try it right now. I don't think any of us are ready for a SWAT team to kick in my door." He smiled at his last statement.

Andrew stay on his chair for a moment, looking the other moving. After they leave, he comes next to the Coach and Sammy:

"Sammy, as soon as Catherine will be back home, you can be sure she'll become the last of my problem. But presently she is here, with us. She is a weight to us and we are a danger to her. I just want to have one less thing to think. Wathever you may think of her, which I doesn't care, even if you are mostly right, she is still a human. She is the kind of person we need to convince, she is the kind of person we need to protect from themselves. If an harm happen to her, she'll put it on the back of mutant, and it will be even harder to put an end to this situation. I'm not thinking only about her, I'm thinking of the global situation, for her, for me, for us and for mutants in general.

Coach, what do you think of them, all? Jennifer, Gabe, Lorenzo, the others. Do you think they see that whole picture... I'm not even sure to see it myself. I'm trying, but the field is just too big and the game just too new. I... my first impression up to now, it is a wierd team we have here, and a big one. Gabe and Eleyna seems a bit overweild but should be ok. Sammy is the one I'm less scared about, he will be able to take care of himself as long as he doesn't enter a new after power trance." Andrew quickly looks at Sammy reaction to what he just said "Lorenzo and Corey, I don't know yet. Jenn, well, I just hope she'll calm down a bit. Her temper is not a good thing, but being on the nerves presently is well understandable. She even make me loose mine, which is pretty bad. Kyle, seems to know a lot more than the other, and that may be usefull... And me... What do you think about me? It is harder to evaluate myself..."

"Well coach, if I don't pop up on your radar, I might not on the school gene scans. If could pose as some of the otehrs to discredit the tests and we could do things like it was some type of pro-mutant protest or something." Kyle says, not even thinking about how much that many changes in one day would hurt him.

Jenn slides completly from the couch, coming to rest easily on the floor,the back of her head on Lorenzo's lap. "Sigh, sometimes I wonder why I keep you."

"Charm, looks, humor, loyal servant . . . one of those," Lorenzo commented in good humor, "or the fact that I brought in a bag of your stuff from the truck before it was compacted. That should grant be a stay of dismissal for at least a couple of hours."

After the coach's final speech, Lorenzo shrugged, and stretched his arms (so as not to disturb Jenn) and closed his eyes. For a few seconds, at least, it seemed like he was just at a party with friends and not running for his life as a wanted mutant terrorist.

"Food, a nap, great company - what more could anyone ask for?" Lorenzo asked. He didn't really expect an answer, he just wanted every to relax and take it easy for the few hour respite that they had left.

"Charm, looks, humor, loyal servant . . . one of those," Lorenzo commented in good humor,

"Oh yeah, thanls for reminding me. Not that you posses any of th..."

"or the fact that I brought in a bag of your stuff from the truck before it was compacted. That should grant be a stay of dismissal for at least a couple of hours."

"...you saved our shoopings. Oh my god your the best."
Not that she didn't see him enter with all their stuff but Jennifer just enjoys the game.

"Sammy, as soon as Catherine will be back home, you can be sure she'll become the last of my problem. But presently she is here, with us. She is a weight to us and we are a danger to her. I just want to have one less thing to think. Wathever you may think of her, which I doesn't care, even if you are mostly right, she is still a human.

I'm not thinking only about her, I'm thinking of the global situation, for her, for me, for us and for mutants in general.

"Hey, sweetheart.....ya' know what? I bet you a million dollars you're wrong. I know whats in her head. I carry her around now, I know her memories, hopes, fears, loves. I know them now. It sounds crazy but I do. And I can tell you this much, us returning her home safe ain't gonna matter one stinkin' bit.... she hates us. Blames us. And just so there is clarification on the subject, that includes you too, Romeo."

While walking away Sammy had smurcked, he hoped it was a reality check of sorts for Andrew, and a little painful too. Although he would never state that aloud. Sammy hadn't forgotten why he was shot with blue gue and thrown in jail in the first place.

As they got up and started to move around, the Coach stopped next to Sammy. "You know, these uniforms they have you in look a lot like unstable molecules. I bet if you powered up, this thing would be fine. But let's not try it right now. I don't think any of us are ready for a SWAT team to kick in my door." He smiled at his last statement.

"Sure thing Coach. Thanks"

 

[Velmont]

Sure she hates us, and even more me. And that's exaclty why she is the type of person we need to change the mentality! wanted to shout Andrew, but he just let the discussion at that point. It seems any discussion he will have today will finish in a deaf discussion.

"It is one thing she hates us" says Andrew to the coach after Sammy has left "but it is another thing to give her arguments. If she comes back wounded, it will just be big bloody pictures in the newspaper against us... if only she could be more open minded, not so self-centered, she could have become a valuable ally for our fight for mutants rights... but now she may be a thorn, we just need not to push it deeper in the skin."

Eleyna Robertson

At the sound of the word "nap," Eleyna yawned, as if only then realizing how exhausted she was. "That sounds like a good idea, Zo." She looked around the room, and grabbed a few unused pillows from the couch. Walking back to Gabe, she put them down and motioned for him to lay back. Then she lay down and cuddled herself up next to him. They didn't need blankets, as the temperature in Coach's shelter was very comfortable, but she still found herself enjoying the warmth of his body against hers.
