[[1]Gage[1]]   LOCATION>  ALTERNATE-MYSTIQUE'S HIDEOUT

[[1]Gage[1]]   SCENE> IN A FANCY HOTEL ROOM, THAT MYSTIQUE OBVIOUSLY RENTS (or rented) OUT, THE TEAM SITS AROUND DICUSSING WHAT TO DO NOW.  THE GROUP WHO ENCOUNTERED BASTION HAS JUST HAD THE TRACKING DEVICES BASTION USED TO FOLLOW THEM REMOVED FROM THEIR HEADS BY MYSTIQUE.  THEY EACH HAVE GUAZE TAPED TO THE BACK OF THEIR NECKS WHERE THE PROCEEDURE TOOK PLACE.  EVE'S BODY LIES ON THE BED IN ANOTHER ROOM.   

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::In the other room with Eve's body, holding her deceased hand:: I should've done something....

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Pacing, muttering to himself periodically:::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::sits quietly by himself in a recliner near a window, staring outside::

<[1]Click[1]>   ::looks to Gage, and says sorta quietly:: are we going to bury Eve here, or back home?

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::trying to stay off tot he side and.. not really talk to anybody, for his own good::

<[1]Rhythm[1]>   ::standing in the doorway, looking at Eve and Polaris::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  ::hand morphed into a surgical instrument, finishing up on Gage::

<[1]Dragon[1]>   ::arms folded, stands near a window, shooting a suspicious glance at Mystique now and then::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::Stands in a crorner w/ her back against the way..moves a finger over her bandage then she sighs and hugs her jacket closer to her::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Sighs, and closes her eyes, tears falling:: It should've been me... ::voice is nothing but a whisper, and she prays::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::getting operated on by Mystique, without looking at Click::  If we can't take her home...then we're going to destroy the body here.  Can't leave evidence...or something. 

<[1]Rhythm[1]>   ::whispering to himself:: she's really dead..

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::wraps his wings around himself and curls up in the chair::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique> ::tapes guaze to gage's head and stands::  You people...look, you've still go a mission to finsih or you will all be dead.  Someone's going to try and stop me from kill Creed. 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::ignores Mystique and continues to sit there::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   Why did you have to be so brave, go charging at the Sentinel like that... ::words are loud now, sniffs and light sobs between her words::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::looks at his device, speaking without emotion::  We've got about 12 hours before his speech.  The best I imagine we're going to be able to do is stake out Central Park...unless somebody has an idea.  ::blocking Eve's death from his mind::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   Really messed up sounding..but right ::nods to Mystique as she puts her arms to her side::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::quietly:: we should get some rest before tomorrow

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Stops pacing, clears his throat::: We could set up an alternate firing position.  That way, someone takes out the blue bimbo, we got a backup.

<[1]Rhythm[1]>   ::looks back towards Mystique and then Gage, shaking his head::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique> ::looks at Dragon, then Cryz::  Oh...I get it.  ::morphs into Dragon::  Afraid I'll replace you?  ::starts toward Cryz:: 

<[1]Click[1]>   we could do that, and have someone go with mystique when she goes to.. shot the guy

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::eyes narrow, glowing slightly for a moment, but she says nothing and looks away, angrily::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::looks at Phase and then Click::  Both ideas are plausible.  We'll hold off on them until a about an hour before the speech. 

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ..::looks from Drags to Mystique and coughs:: Look, I'm not.. ..your Cryz.. I'm married to her.

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Smirks to himself::: ((Never thought I'd get to be the lone gunman on the grassy knoll))

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  ::grin::  Giving up so easily? If he's anything like MY Cryz, I'd do more than that sister... ::looks at Cryz::  Whos to say you weren't married to her in my timeline?  ::eyebrows pirched, then looks at Dragon:: 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Glances at Rhythm, only to turn her head quickly, not wanting him to see her tears and such:: Adrian...why did she have to be the one to go, it should've been me...I should've stopped her from... ::trails off::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::stands up and stretches his wings out::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::Rolls her eyes at the Mystique/Cryz/Dragon situation and looks to mystique:: Mystique..you said it yourself that we should get down to business..you aren't helping that process any

<[1]Rhythm[1]>   ::glances at Polaris then looks down:: It shouldnt have been her.. or you. If only I had jumped that Sentinel sooner

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::walks to Gage:: what are we going to do now?

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::thought directed at Mystique, although she doesn't move a muscle:: {{If you think I let go of anything or anyone without a fight... your timeline's 'version' of me must not be much like me at all}}

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>   *fake sigh*  You're right Kitty.  You are trying to protect me...so I'll leave poor Marky alone.  ::slinks over to Seraph and leans against him, her hand caressing his cheek::  You'll protect me, right? 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Sighs:: What she did was brave.... ::Squeezes her hand some::

<[1]Phase[1]>   Boss, can I kill her, please?  Can I, can I?

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::blinks and looks at her:: that.. was what we were planning.. yes

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::shakes her head and looks to Dragon with an expressiong and thought saying "That should help some"::

<[1]Click[1]>   Mystique, please, put your mind on the task in the future, not any tasks in the room

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::smiles nervously::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ..::mutters to himself and stands up, heading for the door::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::looking back and forth between the situation with Cryz, and everyone else that talking::  I... ::grits his teeth, a look of anger coming over his face, powers up suddenly::  Polaris!  Rhythm!  Out here!  ::looks at Cryz::  ...and where in the hell do you think you're going? ::looks at Mystique::  ...and you...

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::jumps slightly at Gage's outburst::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::blinks at Gage:: ((Wish this were over..))

<[1]Phase[1]>   I can just FEEL the love in this room.  :::Pulls out his pistol, going about the process of checking the clip and the workings:::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  Hmmm?  ::grin, morphs back to herself:: 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Hears Gage and sighs:: What has made our great leader so angry... ::Stands and moves out of the room, and to where everyone else is:: Yes Gage? What is it? ::eyes are red, from tears::

<[1]Myriad[1]>   <<sorry i'm late.. sister insisted on getting on the phone.. >.< >>

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::looks up when he hears Gage:: ((he must be taking it even harder))

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::joins the rest of the team::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::looks to Gage:: Where'm I going? ::shrugs:: Where's a 1/2 ton slab of crystal go? ::shifts to crystal:: Damn near wherever he wants..

<[1]Click[1]>   Cryz, stay. We have work to do. Don't make me detain you.

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::watches from her post by the window, still tense and angry-looking::

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::not really listening to the others. Looking at his right hand and squeezes it closed::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Sits off, and sighs, arms wrapped around her stomach lightly, finger tips tapping at her side, annoyed like::

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Reholsters his pistol::: Boss, why not just off the nimrod now and be done with it?

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks at Mystique again, then to Gage::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::looks at Mystique::  You EVER change into one of us agin...or even try to mess with our minds, and swear to god, I'll kill you myself, and then I'll kill Crred!  All for the timeline right?  It won't make a difference, because, hey!  You never existed.  ::looks at Cryz::  Situation dealt wit.  Stay...*under his breath* please?

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  ::face goes cold, but stays quiet:: 

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::going over the 1st time he met Eve::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::notices Mystique's expression:: its alright, he doesn't mean to be cruel.. but we do need to sort this out

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::folds his arms on his chest, looking around before reverting to flesh:: Fine.. I'm gonna need something off the co.. body, before we get going.. ::gestures:: my time thingy got caught between me and a brick wall during that runin with the Rhino..

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Closes her eyes annoyed like, and then looks to Gage:: Is there some reason you called us Gage? You sounded angry... what is it?

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::says outloud:: she's the 1st one i met...

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::Looks to Polaris:: Lorna..he's dealing with it..just give him time

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Glances to Shadowcat and nods, sighing:: Alright.... I guess Eve's death is taking a toll on everyone... ::glance leaves Kitty and falls to the ground, where another tear would fall::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::nods to Cryz, then looks at Polaris::  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell...but...we do need to get going on whatever we're gonna do.

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::heads into the room where Eve's body is::

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Mutters::: At the moment, it looks like we're just spinning our wheels and pissing each other off.

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::looks at Mystique::  You get your...plasma rifle or whatever ready.  We're heading to Central Park in ten minutes.  We're gonna find this time traveller and get the hell out of here.  ::scans everyone in the room::

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::backs off into a corner and sits on the floor, squeezing his head tight as if to stop tihnking:: god, i feel numb

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::rubs a hand across her face, quietly::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Nods and looks at him, wiping her eyes:: Why did it have to be her? She didn't deserve any of this... we should've just listened to the Sentinels and stopped firing...it's not right...nothing is... ::shakes her head and takes a deep breath, hands visibly shaking, as she listens to Gage::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::small frown as she moves over to Polaris and puts an arm around her shoulder:: Everything's going to be ok..::moves her towards a chair::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   if it doesn't happen for 12 hours.. why leave in 10 minutes?

<[1]Phase[1]>   Well, if we're moving along, should I look into something a little more long-range effective than this?  :::Motions to his holster:::

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ((he won't even try to speak to me... and now this.. woman showing up and making her claims...))

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   But..you need to pull it together..we need everyone on this ::Looks to Polaris and puts the best smile she can on::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  ::to Phase::  Come with me.  ::moves over to wall, presses a hidden button, and the wall flips out into a gun rack:: 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Moves to a chair with Shadowcat and nods:: I know...but everytime I think about it... Kitty it should've been me...I can't help but say it over and over again...if on-... ::trails off::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::silently slips out of the room where Eve's resting and glances towards Drags:: ..((I'm sorry about all of this..))

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::using his knuckles to make circular motions in his temple:: maybe she's not really dead, maybe when we got back to our time she'll be okay...

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Looks at the gun rack, rubs his chin::: Very nice, VERY nice.  My opinion of you has just doubled, my dear.

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   {{why? it's hardly your fault...}}  ::doesn't look up::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  If what you say is true...then I used one of these ::motions to plasma rifles::  to kill Creed.  For the sake of preserving your timeline...you should probably use one as well...in case I fail. 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::turns to look out the window again:: ((this just doesn't feel right at all))

<[1]Phase[1]>   Of course, no reason to change the timeline.  :::Hefts one of the rifles::: Looks like Christmas came early this year.

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::closes his eyes and sighs:: ((Does it being my fault matter? You're upset..))

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   {{When was the last time we had any kind of real talk that wasn't about the mission or some emergency?}}

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::bends down some so she can look her in the face:: You couldn't of possibly done anything..because you didn't..if you could of..it would of happened..and I know it's awful to make yourself get on with it so quick..but think about it..the sooner we get through with this..the quicker you can lay on your bed and sob for a week ::small smile::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::moves over to Myriad::  Uhm...why don't you go get a gun as well.  ...and could you... *voice lowers to a whisper* try and calm everyone down?  Especially me.  We need to focus and I'm...not setting a good example.   

<[1]Myriad[1]>   ..good idea.. but.. i'm not exactly.. very good at aiming..

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::A nod:: Thanks Katherine. I'm going go talk to Adrian. ::Moves towards Rhythm and stands infront of him,a rms laced over her stomach:: Adrian......

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::nods::  every bit helps... 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::sighs:: ((this just isn't fair))

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::brings his head in between his knees and covers both ears with his hands:: ((.. the beach.. siberia..mangos.. Eve, Lynda.Neil..))

[[1]Gage[1]]   LOCATION> CENTRAL PARK

[[1]Gage[1]]   SCENE> DAWN IS CREEPING UP ON THE CITY. WE'VE JUST ARRIVED AND HAVE FANNED OUT INTO GROUPS LOOKING FOR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS. 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Flying about the city looking around, her tears all dried.. Mission...take out the first moron she sees:: Nothing up here... ::glances downwards::

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Sitting up in a tree, looking around, the rifle cradled in his lap:::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::by himself, moving down a nearly empty path:: 

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::walking through an area near the stage that's behind it::

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::having slipped off by herself, maintains a light psi-scan around where she walks, searching for unaccountable presences::

<[1]Myriad[1]>   ::..wearing the least damaging gun she could get in a holster hidden under her shirt, praying she doesn't shoot herself in the foot or something::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::sighs to himself:: I'd rather be off doing something interesting.. ..I suppose that's what happens when you don't have a life beyond your work..

<[1]Rhythm`[1]>   ::walks alongside Click::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks around a group of bushes and trees for anything suspicious, his wings currently cloaked::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  ::strolling around with Seraph::  So, what powers do you have besides wings? 

<[1]Click[1]>   ::looks around carefully, for something or another suspicious::

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Taps one of the buttons on his watch::: All's quiet on the western front, boss.

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks up at a tree into the branches:: I can influence birds to do as I ask them to ::looks at her:: and my bird-like bone structure seems to allow me to sing very nicely

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> ON THE GROUND BELOW PHASE, A BUM IN HOODED RAGS SLINKS DOWN AGAINST THE TREE HE IS IN...

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks down:: its not really like that.. I just like to think that way... when I sing it feels like it echoes all through me.. but.. I don't think its anything special really

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Lands besides Gage:: Nothing in the skies Gage... ::walks with him slowly::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::nods, looking around, not talking:: 

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  Can you see what they're seeing?  The birds I mean. 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Grows silent, glancing around, fist clenched at her side::

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::stops walking, standing still for a moment to cast out further with her mind::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <<d'oh..forgot to sim as Twitch too...anyways...he's with us...>> 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::shakes his head:: I've never been able to do that.. I've tried before.. but I don't think I can do it like that

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Twitch>  ::by himself somewhere in the park:: 

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Going through one of his pockets::: Now I know I put some gum somewhere.

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  Thats a shame...it would be a good way for some reconnaisance. 

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::walks around the park, heading towards where the speech's set to take place::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::nods and sighs quietly::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ((There's nothing out here where I am yet..)) ::looks towards the stage and phases through it just to check for anything..avoiding any equipment she could damage to end up back behind the stage and nods to Cryz as he gets closer and moves back towards a tree as she unphases::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION>  THE BUM SUDDENLY LOOKS UP INTO THE TREE AND SEES PHASE.  WITH AN ANGRY LOOK HIDDEN BY HIS HOOD, THE BUM REACHES OUT WITH A TK GRIP AND FLINGS PHASE TO THE GROUND.  DRAGS, CLICK, MYRIAD AND TWITCH ALL SENSE THE TK/TP POWERS IN USE. 

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::opens her eyes, startled, and breaks into a run, heading for the spot, trying to sense more about the one wielding the power::

<[1]Phase[1]>   AAHHH!!!  :::Crashes to the ground, coughs out a mouthful of sod::: I don't remember the weather saying anything about sudden updrafts.

<[1]Click[1]>   ::looks towards the direction it came from and starts to run after it::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   What about you?  Do you have any other powers?

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::tk's all the rocks fo various sizes, from pebbles to basketball sized, and hurls them at Phase:: 

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::looks around and sees people start running and shrugs to himself before chasing after them::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  Oh, I"m full of suprises.  ::grin:: 

<[1]Phase[1]>   Jesus H. Christ!  :::Moves behind a park bench::: Come on, I'm broke!  I can't give you any money!

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::blinks at Cryz and heads after him:: ((What in the world..))

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> ALL DRAON CAN SENSE IS A MIND SET ON ACCOMPLISHING IT'S TASK. 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::blinks:: ah.. ::smiles for a moment before turning to look towards the noise:: I think something's wrong

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  This way.  :;runs toward the commotion:: 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::follows after her::

<[1]Click[1]>   ::keeps running as his mind reaches out to Gage's:: {{I sense, telepathic powers in use towards<<whereever it is>> Im going after it now}}

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::slows, concentrating on the mind, and attempting a psionic blast at it::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION>  ANYONE WHO HASN'T REALIZED THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON, DOES NOW AS PHASES YELLING IS HEARD BY THEM. 

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::hears Phase and start toward the yell:: 

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::phases as she floats up and moves herself quickly to add force as seh unphases and dives at the bum::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Twitch>  {{I sense them too lad...almost there}} 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::blinks and takes to the sky, running towards the cry:: Oh no...

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> EVERYONE GATHERS ON THE SCENE AND SEE PHASE HANGING BY HIS LEG IN MID AIR, THE BUM STANDING NEEAR HIM. 

<[1]Click[1]>   ::lashes out with his tendrils towards the bum, trying to ensnare him::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::wrapped in a TK bubble, not speaking, face hidden:: 

<[1]Phase[1]>   Put me down!  I'm scared of heights!!

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Hands start to flash green with energy:: Let him go now! ::words roll off her tongue like poison::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   Ow..::Hits the bubble and falls back::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::clears his throat before shifting to crystal:: Alright.. I think you've had your fun.. let him go..

<[1]Click[1]>   ::reaches up to pluck Phase from the air instead::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> EVERYONE SUDDENLY FEELS A PAIN IN THEIR HEAD, AS IF KNIVES WERE CUTTING INTO THEM. 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ahhh! ::grabs his head and falls to his knees::

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   Aagh!! ::drops to one knee, trying to reinforce her psi-shields::

<[1]Click[1]>   Gah ::wraps his hands around his head, trying to deflect the mind attack::

<[1]Phase[1]>   CHRIST!  :::Clutchs the sides of his head, gritting his teeth::: Get outta my head!

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Twitch>  Gah!  ::reaches out with his mind and sheilds Polaris, Searph, and Kitty, those closest to himself:: 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   AHHHH! ::Screams out and holds her head, falling to her knees from the air::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> CLICK AND DRAGON ARE BOTH ABLE TO PUT UP PSI-SHILED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. 

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::grits his teeth, putting his hands to his head, falling to a knee as his crystal form becomes less detailed and featureless::

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::screams as she is still on the ground at least..and then blinks as Twitch helps her some..she holds onto her head and stands herself up..an dmoves back:: ((SOB..))

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::scrambles back to her feet, grimacing, and tries to block the attack from Cryz as well, through their psilink::

<[1]Click[1]>   ::blink, blink:: ((hey it worked!)) ::lashes out towards the bum with his tendrils::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::drops Phase, then moves to look at Mystique:: 

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Myustique>  ::squinting, trying to see past the attack, but obviously confused:: 

<[1]Phase[1]>   Not again!!!!  :::Crashs to the ground again, rolling to absorb some of the impact:::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Blinks and looks to Twitch:: Thank you... ::looks back to Phase:: Phase! Are you okay?

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION>  THE PSI-ATTACK STOPS, AS THE BUM SEEMS TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS PSI-ATTACK OF MYSTIQUE, MAKING HER ROLL TO THE GROUND. 

<[1]Click[1]>   ::tries to grab hold, and throw the bum against the tree::

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Raises his head slightly::: Ask me again when the world stops spinning...:::Drops his head back to the ground:::

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::aims a psibolt at the bum, bracing herself::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::repel's Click's tendrils with his tk:: 

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::shakes her head and moves towards Mystique:: He's going after her

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Twitch>  ::follows Dragons lead and aims a psi-bolt at the bum:: 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::grabs a hold of Mystique's arm:: somebody stop him!

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::slowly gets to his feet shakily before regaining himself and charges the bum, lowering his shoulder to shoulder tackle the bum::

<[1]Click[1]>   ::keeps going at the TK shield with his tendrils::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Runs over to help Phase:: No... ::Whispers:: -NOT- another one... ::Moves to lift his head up some:: Hey are you okay?

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> THE PSI-BOLTS HIT THE BUM, DIZZYING HIM AND MAKING HIM STOP ATTACKING MYSTIQUE AND DROPS HIS TK SHIELD. 

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Looks at Polaris, pained look on his face::: Got any asprin?  I've got one HELL of a headache.

<[1]Shadowcat[1]>   ::gets over to Mystique and tries to help her up:: You allright?

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  Fine.  ::stands, and pulls her plasma-rifle from her chest and aims it at the bum:: 

<[1]Click[1]>   ::goes to wrap his tendils around the bum again::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ::sees Mystique::  No!  Don't kill him! 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks at Mystique:: we need to know who this person is

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::gets ensnared in Twitch's tendrils, but then teleports a few feet away:: 

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   So shoot him in the knees and then maybe he'll talk... and he certainly won't be stopping anything from happening.

<[1]Click[1]>   eh? Huh? Wha? ::looks around::

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::A shake of the head:: No... I don't... rest here, I have something to take care of ::Flies up and towards the Bum, hands glowing as she'd launched a magnetic force beam at him, eyes narrowed::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  :;teleports out of Polaris' way, but ends up near Cryz:: 

<[1]Myriad[1]>   ::..blinks and starts moving towards the group:: ((...they're.. agitated..))

<[1]Polaris[1]>   Cryz... get him! ::Calls out, fly over near them::

<[1]Seraph[1]>   ::looks around for the bum::

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::eyes the Bum:: If I don't attack you, will you not attack me? ..That's a stupid question, but I figured I might as well ask, even though it never works..

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Gets slowly to his feet, wobbling slightly::: Boss, I wanna vacation!

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::just looks at Cryz, and starts at Myriad:: 

<[1]Myriad[1]>   ::..looks around and spots the Bum, quickly grabbing her gun and shooting towards the Bum's foot::

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> THE BUM TUMBLES AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE FOOT AND LANDS NEAR DRAGON.

<[1]Myriad[1]>   ::..blinks again:: ..wow.. i hit him?..

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::pins the bum with tk, hoping that the pain from his foot will keep him from teleporting again, and moves closer, looking down at him::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Bum>  ::unable to move and scared, just passes out:: 

<[1]Seraph[1]>   is this the person we are looking for?  ::looks at Mystique:: it seemed too easy

<[1]Cryz[1]>   ::reforms himself to look like normal then reverts to flesh:: Well that was.. sure interesting, to say the least.. ::heads over::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Mystique>  I don't know.  He's from you're timeline. 

<[1]Polaris[1]>   ::Binks and lands sighing:: This is too much..... ::said to herself, as she walks off from everyone else, off to the farside::

[[1]Gage[1]]   <Twitch>  'e certainly fits the descriptions...power wise, that is. 

<[1]Dragon`[1]>   ::glances up, scanning the area with a frown:: ((Don't trust this... ))

<[1]Seraph[1]>   we should see who it is

<[1]Phase[1]>   :::Stumbles over, grabbing onto Seraph for stability::: Kill him!

[[1]Gage[1]]   Yes, lets see who it is.  ::leans down and removes the hood from the bum:: 

[[1]Gage[1]]   ACTION> WHEN THE HOOD IS REMOVED, THE BUM IS REVEALED TO BE JUST A TEENAGE BOY.  ON THE LOWER PART OF HIS NECK IS A TATOO WHICH SAYS 'M-9'.
