DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #2

Lorenzo Reynolds Hps: 2/2

"Oh, Lorenzo.. did you get my, uh, donuts out of the truck?"

"Yeah, dude," Lorenzo replied. "They're in a bag on the kitchen counter . . . assuming nobody scarfed them up, yet."

Lorenzo made certain all of his gear, his mom's boxes of food, and the envelope form his dad (which he carried with him) were all ready to go. Then he wandered outside to breathe deep and take a look at the night.

'Might not be a bad idea to get a look around . . . even if it is dark,' Lorenzo thought. 'Who knows when I'll be back in these parts again.'

Jennifer Allen

Sitting crossleged on the floor Jenn tries to remember every bit she learned in her self-defense course, suddenly realizing that is likely to be total inadequate to take on a a real police officer of those mutant units. Still she is real happy that her dad insisted that she can take care of herself now.
He said weapons. They are going to shoot at us. Now that's nice.
Still she's just sits calm, hoping that her powers can handle it. Then she has a thought that is new to her.
"Coach, do you have weapons? I'd like to get through those guys and even my radiant smile probably won't do the trick."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe sat silently, near Eleyna. He was wearing his dad's jacket, looking small in the larger man's coat. His face was pale, and he looked slightly sick. While the others talked, Gabe just sat there with a pensive expression, his mind obviously some distance away.

Corey Vinyard

"Yeah, dude," Lorenzo replied. "They're in a bag on the kitchen counter . . . assuming nobody scarfed them up, yet."

"Cool, thanks." Corey meanders into the kitchen and promptly starts to devour the donuts. "Anyone else want one?" He asks through a mouthful of cinnamon powder. They all look so worried. But coach isn't going to bring us to save those other mutants, that's just ridiculous.

"Is there a double chocolat. So long I havn't taken some chocolat. My diet was too stick. Damn my diet, won't need it anymore." He stands up and go take a look at the donught box.

Jenn asked Coach Shelton about weapons as soon as he stepped back into the room. "Sure." He disappeared into the room and walked out with a duffel bag he sat on the table. Don't suppose nay of you know how to use these, do you?" He walked through the basics of loading, handling and making a weapon safe. there were two pistols and two machine pistols in the bag with what looked like about 3 magazines for each. After he was done running through the crash course in guns he called them all over to the kitchen.

"I got word on the other kids. Sara Baker, Kyle Spatz and George Veigh. The fourth kid I don't know. I guess he was someone that some folks were trying to hide and get out of town. The cops picked him up while they were chasing you guys across town." He stood facing them, the stress of the day showing slightly on his face.

"I'm going with you. Not all the way but, as far as New York. The other kids are too heavily guarded. I won't be able to get anywhere near them. I refuse to let anything happen to any of you because I threw you in a car and kicked you out the door. So, it looks like you're stuck with me for a few days." There was no emotion in what he said. He was simply stating how it was going to be. Lorenzo could not pick up anything from the Coach's thoughts. It was almost like he was shutting his thoughts and emotions off.

"Let's get going. We'll take both trucks and stick close together. I'll drive Donaldson's truck. Most of you should ride in mine."

Lorenzo Reynolds Hps: 2/2

Lorenzo only stayed outside a few minutes . . . breathin clean air and wondering about life before wandering back into the living room as the Coach was going over Gun Basics 101. Lorenzo nodded his head in understanding . . . he didn't like guns and never thought he would be carrying one . . . but, then again there were a lot of things he never thought he be doing yesterday that he was today.

"Let's get going. We'll take both trucks and stick close together. I'll drive Donaldson's truck. Most of you should ride in mine."

"Don't suppose we could still get my car at the mall?" Lorenzo asked. "I mean . . . its a might bit more comfortable . . . no offense Sammy . . . and well . . . it's mine. It might not be identified yet like Sammy's truck."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe got up and shook himself in a manner similar to that of a dog's. Putting a hand to his forehead, he just stood for a moment before straightening again, his eyes clear. He moved over to Eleyna, and gently put a tentative hand on her shoulder. His look was one of compassion and slight worry, and his voice was low and soft. Eschewing the obvious and most stupid question, he settled on a quiet "Hey." followed by a gentle "Do you want to talk about it?"

 

[Kangaxx]

Corey Vinyard

New York... and we're just leaving those other kids. But there's nothing we could do. Definitely nothing I could do. "Okay coach." Corey sits back on the couch lost in thought, with a half-eaten donut forgotten in his hand.

 

[kid A]

Eleyna Robertson

"Hey." followed by a gentle "Do you want to talk about it?"

Eleyna barely heard the conversation in the truck. Instead, she simply stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts about what had happened that day. This final thing with her parents, it seemed ridiculous, not how they should act. It troubled her, the fact that they had stood there pretending nothing was wrong.

She started when Gabe set his hand on her shoulder. Snapped back to reality, she smiled (a fake one, obvious to anyone who really knew her), and said, "No, I... My parents... my parents just suck, that's all."
