"Oh no! I think I can sense Quicksilver! He's close by... Pyro we need to pull over now! If he's heading towards Alchemist, I don't think could get to them in time if we are stuck in this traffic.." Miranda quickly unfastened her seatbelt and allowed her body to return to it's ghost form as she began to dress into her costume.
A few seconds later, after Pyro parked the car, Miranda reappeared with a smile on her face. Miranda grabbed Pyro's backpack and slipped it onto his shoulder in a manner similar to that of a maiden assisting a knight with his armor prior to going into battle. Carefully, she ran herright hand down the side of Pyro's face before resting it on his cheek. "Pyro, I'm going to try something. If it works, we won't have to walk..."
Miranda then closed her eyes as she forced her and Pyro's body to become insubstantial. After a brief moment of invisibility, Miranda leaned forward as her body slowly reappeared.
She softly whispered to Pyro, "Think happy thoughts..." Miranda then kissed Pyro on the forehead as she granted him the ability of flight. "Now, follow me.."
Miranda then flew towards the where she sensed Quicksilver life-force with Pyro following close behind her.

"I'm thinking your dad." Alchemist said simply, seemingly out of left field as he stared at the other man. "Just judging by your presence and the backup you've presented. Which begs the question, what do you want me for."
He glanced back over his shoulder, looking out over the city with a weak chuckle. "They'll be here very soon, so lets get this out of the way quickly." He popped a button on his shirt, tugging it just off to one side to reveal a small scar over his heart. "When I was three I was diagnosed with a heart condition. Nothing too serious, but I have a pacemaker."
Nicolas paused then, touching up his shirt. "You're going to tell me what you want me to build. If its a weapon, save yourself the trouble. Even if you capture me, good luck getting me to build something with a six inch piece of plastic making a pretty sculpture inside my heart." He smiled grimly, pushing himself to his feet. "If its something else, then we'd best get out of here before you get your ass kicked by a lord knows how many people are following me."

Pyro and Miranda fly through the city, heading after the faint signal, though it'll take them a few minutes to catch up.
Meanwhile, onboard the X-jet, Cyclops allows Temper to pull up a few maps on the computer system. "As I said before, the plan depends on how things are when we get there. If the badguys have already showed up to snatch him, we may have a fight on our hands."
On the rooftop, Quicksilver laughed "Oh, like I said.. why do you think we want you? Sure, your power's pretty damn cool, and it'd be nice, but you can't really make anything we NEED. You see, what we were looking for in the computer wasn't info on your powers, it was personality profiles, which let us figure out this plan. We figured we could find a way to get you and as many of your Alpha buddies as we could out of the mansion. With all the psychic's out, and you here with whatever X-men are left coming after you, our main team can walk in virtually unobstructed and just grab the package."
"Yes, Herr Asher. Unfortunately though, ve should probably deal vith you now, so zat ve vill not 'ave to do so at a later date. Unless, of course, you vould like to reconsider joining us?" Nightcrawler's voice from behind him isn't really that startling, but the fact that both of them were here (Again) didn't really put odds in Alchemist's favour...

Logan frowned, looking at the three "I doubt we'll get much out'a them. We need to head deeper in and scout the place out." As he drags the three bodies together, Each of their cell phones ring, indicating new text messages. Checking them, they all say the same thing: "Operation has proceeded to Phase 3. Tighten security and await the package. We're entering the school now."
Logan turned to Spike "Oh *@#%!"

I know it's really easy considering they're the 'adults' and all, but if you always rely on the NPC's to decide everything, I'll have to find some way of writing them out of the story.

OoC Note: I'm assuming that Miranda and Pyro are flying at an altitude and that they are not both insubstantial beyond the initial moments of flight.
[En Route --> Final Approach]
Miranda spins around mid flight so that she could talk to Pyro without having to looking back at him. "So you'll know, I'm gong to allow you to fly until we are both safe. If you are knocked out you'll end up drifting to the ground, also you'll still be able to fly even if I'm knocked out."
Miranda silently cursed as she and Pyro approached within two blocks of Quicksilver's location. "Pyro, I can sense several more 'familiar' people near Quicksilver. I think one of them might be Alchemist, but I'm not sure about the other(s)*. They seem to be on the roof of that tall building at the end of the block." Miranda's body began to fade from sight. "I'm going to scout ahead, if you decided to get suited up, I prefer you do it on of one the buildings near that building and that you're careful when you do it."
*'Others' if Kitty is nearby and Miranda can sense her.

As they approach, Miranda indeed senses several familiar Life-forces - recognizing them with a moments concentration as Kitty, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, and Alchemist.
Onboard the jet, Scott punches something into the computer as he flies, and the monitor displays some information.
"Quicksilver and Nightcrawler were both students at the Xavier instituted several years ago. Quicksilver left to join his father, Magneto, and his brotherhood of mutants. We figure that's probably who's behind this. I don't know why Nightcrawler's with them, or what his agenda is. The cyborg kid is a complet anomaly, doesn't exist in our database. We've asked SHIELD as well as the Avengers, and they couldn't identify him either. There should be a file on 'suspected' members of the Brotherhood, but it's not definitive."
[sblock=ooc]
The current suspected 'cast' of the brotherhood is a combination of Magnetos and Mystique's brotherhoods. Please ignore the parts in the 'file' pertaining to Pyro, as he's obviously not a suspect in 'this' universe.
.
Rellique - Sorry to ask, but please don't post Miranda getting any closer, I need to allow some time for Alchemist and Quicksilver/Nightcrawler to banter before the fight begins and/or you show up.
Also, my next update will include a post at the School -
Shayuri, what are you doing while everyone else is out 'saving the world'? Out of characters who've been introduced, all the PC's are gone, as well as Kitty, Pyro, and Cyclops. The rest of the NPC's and yourself are left holding down the fort.[/sblock]

Astrid reaches her room, but pauses to read the note Miranda left for her. Noticing Phase come up behind her, she turns to him, full of uncertainty.
"It seems like I can't win," Astrid confides shakily. "If I'd gone, I'd feel like I was holding them back. Now I feel like a coward for staying behind. How am I going to face Alchemist when they bring him back, and I didn't try to help him?"
