"Yeah, she kind of was. We apologized, yadda yadda yadda, and she started talking about how she's the reincarnation of some Eternal and Overseer's sob story. I kind of get the feeling that she wanted something from me, but then again, maybe not."

"She wants you," Tina replies matter of factly.

"She...what? Cassie wants me? Tina, that's crazy. I think she's just stopped her policy of irrational hatred. Why do you think she wants me?"

“Well besides you being cute, Cassie can’t seem to stay away from you. From what I hear all she ever tries to do is talk to you and seek your approval or some crap. She goes to some strange lengths just to be liked by you… I mean she hates you so much and then today she is sitting here having a pleasant conversation… or trying. Plus she ran off with her tail between her legs when I came around,” Tina replies.

“She is just lucky I don’t take her as a serious threat,” Tina adds watching Cassie retreat, “because I would hate to have to punch you in the face.”

She gets up above the tree line and can see some lights in the distance, the makings of a small town, as she gets closer. The lights are mostly an on-ramp truck stop with an all-night diner, a cheap motel and a gas station. Every now and then she can see cars pass by on a highway and there is a sign that says New York is some 120 miles south.

Kelly flew on towards the town, forlornly hoping that her mom or Tommy would be there waiting. She knew they wouldn't, that those creeps at CHIMERA had her mom and maybe Tommy, and that they wouldn't let her go until she made them some kind of super elites. She had to tell someone, the only problem was who she could possibly tell. The UNJE are probably still mad at me for spilling the beans about Overseer and Dad and Cardinal. They'll probably believe me since they know I don't lie, but they might not help. God, what am I going to do? Mom and Tommy were the only people I had left. What am I going to do? the young popstar wondered as she floated into the town.

Closing her eyes, the girl willed her body to merge with the global weather system, willing her body to reform at the academy. At first it appeared to work, she felt her body seperating but when it was time to reform, it didn't want to happen, all the parts of her kept sliding apart instead of coming together. The girl could herself drifting further and further apart as if she were sand on a breeze. Being pulled in so many different directions hurt, and it took all of her rather limited concentration not to simply disolve. With an effort of will Kelly formed an image of herself in her mind and forced all of the pieces back together, leaving her kneeling in the snow of the unnamed truckstop.

Gasping for breath the girl floundered through the snow and into the diner where she came down crouching on her knees shivering out of exertion and fright as opposed to what would easily be assumable of a girl wearing snow-soaked cotton pants and a tank top in the middle of the winter snow.

“Missy?” a woman asks, she is older, in her late forties. She walks towards Kelly, “Missy, are you okay? You should not be out in this weather like that, are you okay?”

She kneels down and offers Kelly her jacket, “Missy lets get you inside; you are shivering from the cold.”

If Kelly did not know better she would have thought it was Nightchild’s grandmother.

"I want mine back right now. I can afford to buy all new swimsuits, but I like the ones I have."

"Yeah. well, Chaos isn't going to be that forgiving, so let's just make the best of it," Anika/Mark says. She smiles before zooming off to get some practice with her speed. She quickly begins to get the hang of it, despite not getting used to the feeling of moving so fast. The problem with being so fast though, is that, even trying things repititiously, she's pretty much done in less than a minute.

It's at that point she remembers Sami. The thought of him running into Ryan was not a happy one. She pauses a moment with Mark and Karen, saying, "I'm done here, I'll see you in a bit."

She then leaves the Black Room and asks SARAH, "SARAH, where is Sami right now?"

She kneels down and offers Kelly her jacket, “Missy lets get you inside; you are shivering from the cold.”

"No...no, I'm not ok, I woke up in the snow out in a field a little bit away from here, I came towards all the lights. Can I use the phone? I don't have any money or anything, I was kidnapped and this is everything I have..." Kelly tells the woman, gratefully accepting the jacket, not because she was cold, but to be able to hold a tangible piece of kindness. The short haired blonde girl drew the coat around her sholders hugging it in tight. She hadn't planned to spill the beans to the first person she saw, but, the whatever had happened with trying to teleport had totally rattled her on top of everything else, and then the woman being nice to her. She lets the woman lead her inside.

"Okay, so you've established that Cassie is crazy. Somehow, I don't think that in our current situation, she would be flirting with Anika's body. Kal...I mean, Gilden, you were listening. Back me up here."

Gilden/Kal pauses a moment glancing between the two students for a moment. "Quite, she was insistant that Captain Comet's powers choose Ryan for a reason and that he had untapped leadership ability."
