	Anastasia had no trouble getting Valentine's restraints off. Valentine looked at Jinx for a moment, incredibly quiet as she just observed him. She then nodded slightly and extended her hand, not from him to shake but for him to [i]kiss[/i]. "Charmed," Valentine said simply, her voice having a bit of a melodious, musical quality to it. 

	"Be careful with that one, she's unhinged," Ksenia whispered in Jinx's ear as a means of warning him about Val. Just what were Valentine's powers again? Could they really be so bad in comparison to Legion's? At any rate, Jinx and the White Queen would want to get the siblings off the train and into the getaway car this round - or they might have a lot more to worry about than what the siblings were capable of without those restraints...[hr][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/5yqyXQGW/image.png[/img][/center][hr][color=f7941d][b]JFK Memorial Hospital - Lobby...[/b][/color]

	Casper's eyes widened as Feedback appeared seemingly out of nowhere and injected Vulcan with something, causing the villain to clutch at his chest like he was having a heart attack. Making a mental note to never get on her bad side, he then started puzzling out what exactly Sapphire was saying. He had no idea what a [i]myocardial infarction[/i] was, but he had watched enough medical soap operas to know that a term like that definitely meant something bad. Inside the shop, Cayden would find a few bottles of aspirin for sale at the front counter.

	[color=DBA1DE]"Uh hey, Miss Icicle?"[/color] Casper said gently, not wanting to disturb Sapphire too much but this was important. [color=DBA1DE]"I think the cops are about here,"[/color] he then added. Colossus nodded slightly, wincing a bit with each step that he took but he was strong - he was Russian, after all. 

	[color=B0B4B0]"Da, sirens are near,"[/color] he explained with a frown. [color=B0B4B0]"Hospital will not treat mutants..."[/color] They couldn't just leave Vulcan to die - they were better than that. However, he had another worry. His little sister was outside in the van. He had to get to her and give her the medicine that she needed to get better. They had a choice then - they could either save Vulcan or they could leave now in order to save Illyanna. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Wait, can you maybe send them a radio message thingy saying that the suspects fled the scene and are heading downtown or something?"[/color] Casper then asked Feedback, thinking quickly. [color=DBA1DE]"It might buy us some time..."[/color] He really didn't want to get involved with the cops. Cops in DC were all too happy to shoot first and ask questions later when it came to mutants. And sure, he could have pulled out his phone and called his father, asking him to use Cerebro to control the cops from afar so they could escape... but Casper [i]hated[/i] Xavier with a passion. He didn't want to ask him for anything.

	Veil sighed slightly as Max informed her that Leighton was trapped. She didn't doubt that the same was the case for the other two had run off, Jack and Callie. She knew that Max had just insulted Havok, but she trusted that Havok could be the bigger person and assist him nonetheless. [color=935DB8]"Alright, no more splitting up. We're in unknown territory. Havok, go with Max and see if you can blast that door down."[/color]

	She was about to then ask that Sunshine stay with her, only to notice that the blonde haired mutant was gone, having run off down one of the hallways. Veil clenched her fist slightly. She was going to need something strong to drink after all of this. [color=935DB8]"Thanks, Glimpse. Come on, let's go get the kid,"[/color] Veil said, before running as fast as she could despite her previous injuries the way she thought Sunshine had gone. 

	She had picked the wrong hallway. It wasn't Sunshine at the end there - [i]it was Sabretooth[/i]. Acting out of instinct, Veil generated two force fields and threw them at Sabretooth like frisbees, cutting the mutant but the wounds healed as quickly as they formed. 

	"It'll take more than that to stop me, little piggies... shall I prove it? Shall I huff and puff and blow your house down?" Sabretooth taunted

	Jack was trapped inside of [u][i]the Music Room[/i][/u]. The piano kept on playing over and over again, its pace gradually increasing with the repetition of the simple song. It was [url=https://youtu.be/wfF0zHeU3Zs]Für Elise[/url], one of the most famous songs of Beethoven. When it came to classical music, it was Jack's mother's favorite piece... although Renegade rarely listened to classical music. She preferred the music of her childhood, the 80's, by far. He would detect a hint of lemon from the folder and get an idea - what if there was invisible ink concealing something more? There was an lit candle across the room. Perhaps that would help to illuminate things.

	Callie was trapped inside of [i][u]the Mechanic's Garage.[/u][/i] Suddenly, one of the cars roared to life and a static filled radio report began to play. Was this real? Or was it an attempt by whoever ran the Hound program to get inside of her head? [i]"Tragedy struck in Buffalo New York this evening. Two twin boys were found hung outside of the local high school. M's were carved into their faces, suggesting that the Purifiers claim responsibility. Our condolences to the family of Officer Johnson in this trying time..."[/i]

	Leighton was trapped inside of [i][u]the Wardrobe Suite[/u][/i]. Her aunt Emma, dressed in white, smiled at her slightly from the chaise. [color=E0F6FD][i]"I understand, darling, that you must hardly remember me... Nor do I doubt that you paid much attention to one of your many relatives at our family gatherings, as I certainly had no interest in my dear sister - your mother, Adrienne."[/i][/color] She smirked ever so slightly. She did not care for either of her sisters - she hated Adrienne for being older and more loved by their parents, and Cordelia was simply a rebel without a cause. 

	[color=E0F6FD][i]"It was wrong of Adrienne to keep so much of our family history from you, Leighton. The Frost siblings are mutants - we are a noble lineage, one destined to bring our people out of oppression and into freedom.... You were born royalty, something denied to you as Adrienne feared your potential."[/i][/color]
