Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

Kiro walks out of the store a little less upset with his new clothes, Tyrone's credit did wonders for his ego. He struts a step behind the others with mirrored shades, a red shining sun T-shirt and some loose fitting black slacks, not to mention a slightly cocky grin. "Nice trick Miguel, you'll have to teach it to me, but don't you guys think it's about time we headed back to the hospital to prove our innocence and go home? Though I'll have to keep in touch with all of you I'm sure my father's worried, as much as everyone else's must be."

"Nah, I am ok I guess. I am still pretty sore, besides I trust Screaming Eagle. I figure she probably is trying to do what is best for us. Sorry, I lost my temper earlier.....

If you could hand me the remote for the TV," he says nodding towards the remote sitting on Sarah's bed, "and maybe see if there is anything to read would be great though. It gets pretty boring being couped up like this all the time but I figure we will be out and about soon enough."

OOC: Actually, there was no remote. She was cahnging the channels telekinetically.

She smiles softly and nods. " There should be a nurse coming in shortly to check on Dr. Kalam, you can ask her for the remote and some magazines. I'll be back in a few minutes."

She walks past her bed, taking the blanket from it and wrapping it around herself to cover what the hospital gown did not. Peaking her head out the door, Sarah sees a courtesy phone near a few chairs she assumes is a waiting area. It isn't far from the room and within sight of the nurses station, so she figures Screaming Eagle shouldn't get too pissed.

She picks up the reciever, disabling the viewscreen, and stares at the numberpad trying to decide on who she was going to call first. After a moment she starts dialling a series of numbers. Sarah sits in one of the chairs when the phone on the other end begins to ring.

" NYPD 81st Precinct, how can I help you?"

" Captain Willis please," She hessitates a moment before continuing, " Tell him it's Sarah."

In the hospital
Jaya lays back in the bed and rubs her head. She spots Neutron resting in the bed across form her. "Evolution?" She looks to the others. "Are you guys okay? What about the Tanners, are they okay? What kind of deal did you make?"

A nurse enters the room shortly after Sarah leaves. She checks Jaya's vitals and says, "Just relax, Dr. Kalam. You're in good hands now."

Out at the phone, Sarah waits a few moments before a gruff voice begns to speak. "Edwards? Is that really you? Christ, woman, we thought you were dead. And then this mess on the news...what the hell is going on?"

Back from the mall
"I should be going home to bed, but I think I'll hang out with you guys for a while instead," Jessica says with a grin, grabbing onto Tyrone's arm as they make their way through the hospital doors.

Tyrone grabs some coffees from the Starbucks before heading back up to the 4th floor with the others.

Back from the mall
"I should be going home to bed, but I think I'll hang out with you guys for a while instead," Jessica says with a grin, grabbing onto Tyrone's arm as they make their way through the hospital doors.

Tyrone grabs some coffees from the Starbucks before heading back up to the 4th floor with the others.

"Bed is probably where he is hoping it will end." Miguel whispers over to Kiro.

(ooc: If every hospital is like this one then there will be at least several people smoking outside the door. If not then ignore the rest of the post.)

Miguel looks up and sees various people cluttered around the hospital doors. "Hmmm, keep going I will catch up with you in a sec," he will walk over to a friendly looking woman smoking. "Excuse me senorita, I was wondering if I could borrow a cigarette or two from you?" He will ask her in his most charming voice.

Tyrone pauses at the main reception counter and says to the man behind it, "Yo, you might wanna scope out the grey fog building around the entrance. Complete violation of the hospital's no smoking on it's property policy." He grins at Jessica, JD, Kiro and Max as they walk on. "He's quitting, he just don't know it yet."

"Yo yo yo," Tyrone says as he and everyone but Miguel make it up to the fourth floor nursing station. "Since yall didn't come for coffee, coffee comes to you."

After dropping the beverages off, he enters the ICU and hands out some clothes to Sarah and stacks some for Aaron at the end of the bed. "Yo, Neutron, gotcha somethin'," he says with a grin, tossing the wounded man the Chicago Bulls jersey and a pair of sunglasses to match JD's. He pokes Aaron and pulls out t-shirts with each of the present AF members on them. "Time for some autograph huntin' kid."

He pulls out a black shirt and tosses it to Screaming Eagle. "Golly gee, everyone gets a prize! And yours comes autographed, Angel!" he says cheerfully as she catches the shirt with his likeness on it.

He finally notices Jaya is awake.

"Oh. You're up. In much pain?"

Kiro removes his shades and sits down in the chairs across the room from the beds. He sits calmy, leaning slightly forward and watching Tyrone go to work, shaking his head and smiling a bit.

Out at the phone, Sarah waits a few moments before a gruff voice begns to speak. "Edwards? Is that really you? Christ, woman, we thought you were dead. And then this mess on the news...what the hell is going on?"

" God, where do I start..." Sarah pinches the bridge of her nose trying to relieve the growing tension she was feeling, and tucks her feet beneath her in the chair. She notices the others return and pulls the blanket a little tighter around her, hoping for a few more minutes of privacy before someone noticed her. " I can't tell you anything yet, Ben. I wish I could, but we're to be detained for questioning after we're released from the hospital here in Denver. I swear, I'll tell you everything when I get back to New York.

" Look, I haven't even called my mother or Tyler yet because I need a favour. A big one." She lowers her voice a little. " You remember that night I went missing, the assigment at the Club? Well, someone else knew too. They knew I'd be there alone, and they knew I was an Elite. But after..." she pauses and takes a deep breath before continuing. " After the shooting, no one outside the hearing was suppose to know. They swore to me it would be kept classified to protect my placement with the Special Cases Unit. It didn't work, Ben. Somehow, it got leaked out and I need to know how and by whom.

I can't figure it out from Colorado. Think you can help a girl out?"

He pokes Aaron and pulls out t-shirts with each of the present AF members on them. "Time for some autograph huntin' kid."

"Dude, you so totally rock!" Aaron exclaims to Tyroc while rifling through the stack of clothes.

Aaron seems to have forgotten his pain as he glances around to the AF members in attendance, "Would you guys mind? I know we havent gotten off to the best start with first impressions and all that but you guys are like my heroes! Pleeeeeeease??"

Miguel
The woman Miguel approaches appears to be of Asian decent, mid- to late-twenties, long, dark hair, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, and though rather plain looking, she apparently keeps in good shape. She looks Miguel over while taking a pull on her smoke before pulling out her pack and offering him some. She pulls out a lighter and helps him light it up. "You with those other guys?" she asks. "That was that Devil guy from American Freedom, right? You visiting someone?"

Tyrone, Kiro, Aaron
"Hey, thanks," Danielle says with a big grin to Tyrone as she takes a coffee. The other nurses at the station help themselves as well, dropping 'thank you's as they do.

Max sits down next to Kiro with a sigh. The big man leans near Kiro and says in a low, thickly-accented voice, looking at Tyrone, "Does his constant innane chatter bother you, as well?"

Neutron looks at his new jersey, and shakes his head. "Hey, that's funny, man. I suppose they didn't have any Cavs gear, huh? Been meaning to pick up a new James jersey since they took the championship again last month."

Screaming Eagle laughs as she looks at her shirt. "Wow, I'll cherish it forever," she says, rolling her eyes. "I was going to clean my Hummer and I needed a new chamois," she adds jokingly. She takes Aaron's shirt signs it (with the Sharpie I assume Tyrone also bought ) and passes it to JD.

"Don't you turn around and go selling this on eBay, now," Jersey Devil says with a grin as he signs it. He brings it over to Neutron, who signs it as well, before handing it back to Aaron.

Jaya shakes her head as she props herself up in her bed. "No, I'll be fine," she says. "How about you, you feeling okay?" she says back to Tyrone with a look of concern.

Sarah
A sigh emits from the receiver. "Jesus, Sarah, that's not going to be easy. Are you certain it was a leak? I mean, no precinct is 100% clean, but I trust the guys we had invloved in the hearing. I'd have to get internal affairs involved. I don't want to start throwing around unwarented accusations, you understand? That won't get either of us anywhere." The police captain sighs again. "Look, I'll see what I can do, alright, but no promises. Anyway, I don't see how you can be so concerned about this, what with your other problems..."

Neutron looks at his new jersey, and shakes his head. "Hey, that's funny, man. I suppose they didn't have any Cavs gear, huh? Been meaning to pick up a new James jersey since they took the championship again last month."

"Oh dear god no. The Cavaliers? The Nicks frickin' owned the season! An' James is a punk, yo. Carlson kicked his ass in every stat this season."

Screaming Eagle laughs as she looks at her shirt. "Wow, I'll cherish it forever," she says, rolling her eyes. "I was going to clean my Hummer and I needed a new chamois," she adds jokingly. She takes Aaron's shirt signs it (with the Sharpie I assume Tyrone also bought ) and passes it to JD.

"Well, actually Angel, I kinda thought you'd put it in the AF charity auction, but they say I light up a room by my mere presence. Good lord knows how shiny I'd make a Hummer!"

Jaya shakes her head as she props herself up in her bed. "No, I'll be fine," she says. "How about you, you feeling okay?" she says back to Tyrone with a look of concern.

"Fine? Not even a bit of agony?" Tyrone says, his good cheer vanishing as soon as he had noticed her awake. "Too bad," he says in a voice probably meant to be cold or cruel, but just sounding upset. Tyrone looks less than collected and he starts to speak a few times only to stop, struggling with his emotions. "Just... I would have liked to be able to say 'Don't worry, Jaya. Tomorrow it won't hurt as much.' Isn't that what you kept telling me?"

He turns and leaves the room suddenly, bumping into someone hard. Not really registering who it is, he mutters a quiet "Sorry" to whoever it was, and walks down the hall a bit to get himself together.
