"That guy claimed he was in dad's unit once. And then told me he knows he's a freak and that you are too. Then he started producing a lot of hot air about some special unit in the military and that it would be the best place for you. I don't get these people, calls my old man and my son a freak and still thinks I will help him."
The anger in your dads face is vanishing swiftly.
"You know I think we should call the old man and ask him if he knows the guy. Some General Langford or something."

in a subway station

Thankfully Rogue doesn't appear to have the intention of actively hurting the civillians around her. You see a few fly around then they get in her way but no one should be seriously injured. While you run with the panicking crowd you spot an emerceny exit and make it out of the hall into a dark stairway. Hopefully without being seen by the mutant out there. The lights in there flicker for a moment but die out moments later, too old too do the simple job they are made for. THe stairs go up and down and you have no idea there either way will lead.

in a not too slow driving ambulance

The sound of screeching tires, sirens and an insistent voice wakes Alicia from that warm and comfortable place she had retreated to. She is lying in an ambulance with too many things sticking in her arms and a worried looking medic beside her.
Also in the car is a guy with straw blond her who flashes a NYPD sign at her as if he would honsetly think she would care right now.
"Lady are you awake? You've got to tell me if you've seen anything."
The medic gives you an injection and barks at him
"She's not in any condition to talk to you detective."
The cop just pushes him aside and gets closer to your face.
"Look you're the only witness and we have a dozen dead people in that restaurant. You are the first living witness to a crime from Toni's club."

"Can you see in the dark, Frank?" Sharon asks. If the answer is no, she'll lead them up. If it's yes, she'll lead them down.

Alicia/Psyche: Human/Female (PL10)

Alicia looks confused as she tries together what happened to her she could barely remember her name let alone what happened to her. She closed her eyes trying to focus through the pain and drugs but finely an imagine of two gunmen looming over her comes too.

Struggling weekly, with a dry mouth and shock, she responds meekly, “I wanted food… Turned away.” Most of the rest of her statement is lost in a wave of pain, “died too.”

She closes her eyes as darkness descends upon her…

Nodding his head in complete agreement with his dad's words, Jake can't help but think that there is definately something fishy with the General's visit.

"I'll call and talk to him about all this. You still have to get the displays ready for the show tonight. This Langford guy was proly just trying to rattle your cage to see if you would bite, and since you showed him the exit, I'd say you did just fine all in all."

Heading to the back of the museum, Jake picked up the phone and dialed out on one of the museum's private lines. Dialing the cell number from memory, Jake hoped Paps would pick it up, instead of seeing it as "a damned nusience" as he often did.

When the mechanical answering service kicked in, Jake sighed slightly before leaving his message.

"Paps...this is Jake...was just calling to check up on things and to pass along a hello from a General Langford. He said you and he were old friends back in the day, but we weren't able to talk to him long. Anyway, hope to talk to you soon. Dad and mom send their love. Later paps..."

Hanging up the phone, Jake knew the rule was to wait five minutes before writing off the chance of Paps calling back.

~Alright Paps...the clock is ticking...~

Danny Rand's place

"No, no . . . you have the bed, really. See, Danny knows I'm a transplanted west coast boy. I'll be up to the wee hours, probably watching SportsCenter or messing on the computer. I may as well stay out here," Brandon said.

"Well... okay, if you really don't mind..." she said with a shy smile. She did not like the idea of taking someone else's bed, but it seemed like Brandon really did not mind.

"Woohoo!! That's awesome! Great job!!" Brandon couldn't contain the excitement he felt. Flames appeared and licked on his face and his right arm. Brandon noticed after a moment, and concentrated . . . allowing the flames to subside. Guess there's hope for me yet!" he thought.

Her smile grew at his words, and she beamed, guessing that the fire was gone. Brandon's excitement was contagious, and she felt quite pleased with herself. So, now she knew how to turn the fire on and off. That was something that she had not known how to do, before today.

Feeling safe, warm, and happy, she began to realize how tired she was. She stifled a yawn. A lot had happened in the past few hours, it it had left her exhausted.

inside Xavier's car after a short ride through New York

Not surprisingly the car had a first aid kit. By now Xavier got out again and he's talking to some guy in a really strange looking green and yellow costume who introduced himself as Iron Fist. It looks like the two know each other and by now they are talking about some guys who seem to have the same problem as you do.

Danny Rand's place

You all finally settled for the night, Angela got the bed and Brandon and Danny each on a sofa. Danny's last words before he drifted of to sleep where something about getting more sofas if it goes on like this. Finally even Angela wakes up, the last days have really taken their strain.
Then you tumble out of the bed you see Danny standing outside, talking to a very bald man in a wheelchair. Strange enough he is wearing his costume from last night.
Brandon hasn't noticed that so far and is probably eating, watching football or doing whatever chills him before they go to that asylum tonight.

Danny Rand's place

Her sleep is the best she's had in months, deep and dreamless. She awakens feeling refreshed, and wondering what she could do to repay Danny and Brandon for ther kindness. She thought making breakfast for them would be a start, until she realized that is was almost 3 pm. Well... that idea was definitely out.

Embarrassed that she had slept so late, she hastily got dressed in the borrowed practice uniform. Upon emerging from the room, she immediately noticed the conversation going on between Danny and the bald wheelchair bound man. She briefly searched her memory, trying to remember if any bald men worked at the asylum tht she had just come from, but could not remember. She didn't think so... that wheelchair would have definitely stuck out.

Figuring it would be rude to interrupt their conversation, she waved a brief 'good morning' to Danny, before going to find Brandon, still puzzling out how to repay him.
