DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #2

[Nuke261]

The sound of rustling and people moving wakes those who found a way to sleep. It is a slow wake up as they begin to notice the sounds around them. Kyle and Andrew are at the kitchen table eating. They point out a large pile of clothes the coach dug out, if anyone wants to change. The Coach is now wearing khaki pants and brown boots, a black, long-sleeved shirt with a shoulder holster on. He seems a bit busy, carrying a few blankets out to the garage. After his second trip he stops in the living room.

"All right, time to get up. Go wash up so we can get out of here. Adams, Robertson, Reynolds and Donaldson are going for sure, right? What about the rest of you. You need to stop for supplies or want to tag along, that's fine. Vineyard, I could use your help. If you're up for it." He walked across the room to where Catherine had been sleeping. Before he opened the door to the room he stopped and looked back at them. "Whoever's going get ready. I leave in 20 minutes." A moment later he walked out carrying Catherine out to the truck. She looked every bit as peaceful and asleep as when they got there.

"Coach, I won't come, but leave this in the mailbox of my parents." Andrew hand him the letter he wrote earlier.

Eleyna Robertson

Sounds of movement eventually pulled Eleyna from her deep, dreamless sleep. For a few moments, she wondered where she was, sitting up and rubbing sleep from her eyes. Looking around, it all came back to her. And Coach Shelton's words gave her a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. The last thing she wanted to do now was to say goodbye to her parents. She just wanted a normal life... but it didn't look like that was gonna happen now.

Eleyna found her one reason to smile when she turned to see Gabe still lying down. Slowly, she leaned over him and kissed him lightly on the forehead, then whispered silently, "Gabe, c'mon, it's time to wake up."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Eleyna found her one reason to smile when she turned to see Gabe still lying down. Slowly, she leaned over him and kissed him lightly on the forehead, then whispered silently, "Gabe, c'mon, it's time to wake up."

Gabe's eyes flickered open as Eleyna spoke, a contented murmur sounding in his throat. It took him a few moments to remember where he was, but then he smiled gently, taking one of Eleyna's hands in his and squeezing it lightly. He spoke softly and with warmth. "Hey." Gabe sat up slowly, stifling a yawn as he did so. He looked happy and rested - but only for a few seconds. Eleyna could practically see the moment at which the truths of their situation settled upon him again, his shoulders sagging slightly and the spark of happiness in his eyes dimming. Gabe let out a long breath, and the smile left his face, worry replacing it. For a moment, Gabe wasn't putting up his usual reassuring front, and the fear he had been holding back behind it showed through. Then, just as quickly, he was back to normal, his expression once again appearing friendly and comforting. He glanced at Eleyna, acknowledging that she had seen the change, and offered a sincere, slightly quivering smile. Now that she'd seen behind the mask, she could spot the slight cracks in his composture - cracks he was doing his best to hide. "I guess it's time to get moving, huh?"

Kyle Graham hp 2/2

Kyle pops a flash card out of his pda. "This is for my uncle, it's set to decrypt to his voice, anyone else tries to crack the encryption, it eats itself. He knows how to contact me if he has to. I've been in enough trouble at school that I might have been visited for the feds even before I became a freak." hands the small flash card over. "I'm going."

Corey Vinyard

Corey spends a long hour in the garage looking up at the stars, and pondering the crazy direction his life is going in. When he comes back in, he realizes he's exhausted, but just can't bring himself to sleep yet. When the others return and wake up, he's sitting in a chair in the living room, looking haggard but composed.

The sound of rustling and people moving wakes those who found a way to sleep. It is a slow wake up as they begin to notice the sounds around them. Kyle and Andrew are at the kitchen table eating. They point out a large pile of clothes the coach dug out, if anyone wants to change. The Coach is now wearing khaki pants and brown boots, a black, long-sleeved shirt with a shoulder holster on. He seems a bit busy, carrying a few blankets out to the garage. After his second trip he stops in the living room.

Before he opened the door to the room he stopped and looked back at them. "Whoever's going get ready. I leave in 20 minutes." A moment later he walked out carrying Catherine out to the truck. She looked every bit as peaceful and asleep as when they got there.

Corey starts slightly when coach says his name. "Me? Sure, what for? I... I don't think I should see my parents. Can I just, send them a letter, like Andrew?"

"If you want to write down a letter, I left the pencil and some paper in the kitchen... I think 20 minutes should be enough for you to write a 50 pages letters" Andrew says, trying to smile at his joke.

Jennifer Allen waking up...

Noises. A hard floor. Bad things. Warm cusion. Better.
Jenn burries her head deep into her pleasantly warm cushion before she remembers where she is. And that said cushion is actualy Lorenzo. Of course she's still half asleep so her immidiate reaction of leaping looks very much like a lazy movement as she slowly lifts her head. With ruffled up hair and still half closed eyes she looks around. Even if she tried to get her tough girl act together she would fail miserably as she looks more like a puppy waking up than anything else right now.
Once she's sure which direction is up she tries out if her voice still works. Not that it sounds the way she would like it either.
"We've just been joking around. So why do I wake up next to you?"

Eleyna Robertson

"I guess it's time to get moving, huh?"

Smiling sadly, she replied, "Yeah. Yeah, it is." Reaching for his hand, Eleyna grasped it in an attempt to comfort him. "This is gonna be hard."

Coach Shelton took Andrew's letter and placed it in his pocket. "Consider it done, Andrew." The Coach offered a reassuring smile as he patted Andrew on the shoulder. The Coach looked slightly puzzled as Kyle explained the flash card. "I can deliver that for you without a problem. Does this mean you're coming with us into town?"

"The rest of you need to get moving." Coach Shelton spotted Corey at the table writing. "Soon as you're done with that, I'll take care of it for you." Everyone made their way around each other in the house. Trips to the bathroom and kitchen were plentiful. As the kids made their way to the garage and climbed into the large truck, they noticed Catherine sleeping in a pile of blankets in the back.
