God fucking bless America," Watts complained, hearing that ambulances were on their way. He trusted his medical skills over some random emergency workers, especially in the capital of anti-mutant hatred in the US. He doubted that they'd have the brains to realize his daughter was inhuman - and even if they did, they'd likely lump her in with the stigma of the mutant criminal all the same. "And unless you magically have surgical equipment, I doubt there's anything you can do," he snapped at Kristina. "I'm f-f-f-fine..." Leda stammered, trying to keep her eyes from fluttering closed. Watts had gently propped her up on one of the couches, dashing behind the counter. Most states had a law regarding what was required to be in a first aid kit. He just had to hope that Starbucks followed policy and with a bit of luck, he'd have what he needed to help his daughter for now. "We can talk once I get Leda's injury handled with more than just ice," Watts told Sapphire. Unlike Kristin, he didn't snap at her, but the stress in his voice was clear. He put on the pair of latex gloves he found in the kit and quickly cleaned the area surrounding Leda's wound. The ice had melted off. Leda's body was burning hot, as if trying to repair itself via heat. The bullet was half sticking out of her skin, something Watts thanked his lucky stars for. He just plucked the bullet out and set it aside. He cleaned her wound as best as he could, before wrapping it tightly with gauze. "You're going to be fine, my little princess," he told his daughter softly, his gloves covered in blood. "I don't think you'll need stitches. You were lucky... this time. Don't you ever do that again, damn it!"[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=935DB8]Veil[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/qB2G1nnk/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=935DB8]Location:[/color][/b] George Washington University: the Street [b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] Veil's heart broke a little bit, knowing that these two young mutant kids most likely were living on the street. Homelessness was a huge problem for teenage mutants. Their powers were volatile and hard to control at that age, and with the current political climate, parents tended to kick them out rather than accept their children for who they are. But she also couldn't help but be in awe of them. It was ruthless and cutthroat how they killed their assailants, but they had such finesse and confidence. [color=935DB8]"If you two need a place to stay with a warm bed, I can help. No strings attached. For just a night or longer, all up to you,"[/color] Veil offered gently. She didn't want to spook them. Veil then swallowed thickly, as she took her attention away from the kids and her heart plummeted straight past her stomach. She put a hand over her mouth in disbelief. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to fix this. There was no fixing it. Someone had died under her watch. She had been responsible for Cayden. She shouldn't have brought him along today. He was so young. He wasn't ready. This world was so cruel. The tears flowed silently. She couldn't help but feel a vicious hatred for the purifiers, a desire for [i]revenge[/i]. But whoever killed Cayden was already amongst the dead - bodies littered the ground. They were in the middle of the street. They needed to get moving. Veil couldn't budge a muscle. She needed to lead. She could just stare in horror. She was shell shocked. She didn't register Valkyrie speaking in a weird language. She was just looking at Cayden, realizing she wouldn't hear his laugh again or see his smile. But the world kept on turning. [color=935DB8]"The van's two blocks south of here - we have to go,"[/color] Veil said, hating that her voice sounded like a leader, as if someone hadn't just died in front of them all. She wished she sounded more tentative and timid. She moved one foot in front of the other, only to stop as she heard an achingly familiar voice. A car had pulled up quietly in the middle of the road. [color=9A86AD]"Hello, race traitors,"[/color] Anastasia, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club greeted. She looked tired. She was wearing all black, as if she were on the way to a funeral. Another door opened and out jumped [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xmenmovies/images/e/ef/Pyro_%28X-Men-_The_Last_Stand%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150611182241]Pyro[/url]. He flicked the lighter in his hands and an unnaturally large flame appeared. "Hey there, mates. Any of you know where a Dr. Hansen or a Dr. Watts might be?" The last passenger disembarked. Havok's eyes widened and his jaw dropped in disbelief as he stared at her green hair. [color=FAFD95]"Lorna... No... Damn it this has to be Mastermind again! Or or Mesmero!"[/color] he raged. [color=A9F8C7]"Alex... This is me."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W49hZLVD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic - Inside [b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] [color=#DAF7A6]"I'd also would've expected you to not be stupid, but here we are,"[/color] Sunshine said with a small smirk. She had made her peace with Jack, but that didn't mean she was going to be nice to him all of the time. No, she enjoyed insulting him just as much as any other person at the Underground... except for Max. He was her absolute favorite to shout abuse at. Sometimes she even tried to hide Fred in places she expected Max would go, just to try to scare him. Like Leighton, he reeked of big city comfort and charm. The dirt on his clothes hadn't penetrated his body. Magik looked around the room wildly for another weapon. For some reason, it didn't occur to her to try to use her Soulsword. She opened up a drawer and grabbed the most lethal looking thing - [url=https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41VgQImMrFL._SX466_.jpg]an otoscope[/url]. [color=6B576F]"Do you hear them in the halls? The zombies? They're back! Catherine sent them... I knew she would! She cursed my eyes, determined to blind me!"[/color] Magik then darted into the hallway, her blonde hair flowing after her. She turned to her left, seeing Callie and Max towards the back. Sunshine hurried on out after Magik, sobbing through the pain in her eyes. She had the pepper spray enter her eyes a while ago now, so while she had moments where she was calm and could handle the pain, other times sent her on edge, as she wanted to scream and writhe. A hand grenade rolled by her feet. She kicked it and a second later it exploded less than a split second later. Magik and Sunshine were thrown backwards from the force of the explosion, Sunshine hitting her head hard on the wall and blood began flowing liberally from her wound, Magik's left leg snapping on impact. Sunshine tried to keep her eyes open, not even aware of the gigantic wound in her head as she tried to move her arms, but they felt impossibly heavy. [color=#DAF7A6]"Idunfeelsogood..."[/color] she slurred. The air was then peppered with bullets from five purifiers. Two of the bullets hit Max, tagging him in the left shoulder and right forearm. Spark Plug got hit once in the left thigh. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/KvRwSCJZ/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic - Outside [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship [hr][/center] Casper's ears began to bleed, as if the exertion vomiting had caused a dam to burst, letting the red fluids flow. The blood trickled down his neck and crawled onto his already ratty clothing, making him look like he was trying to do a really weird [i]Rocky Horror Picture Show[/i] inspired outfit. All he needed was a musical number and someone to [i]make him a man[/i]. [color=DBA1DE]"Milk in the eeeeeyes?"[/color] Casper started cackling, bending forward at the knees as he clutched his stomach. [color=DBA1DE]"Is that the new version of taking a dump on someone's porch? Do it again to Max, it'll be fun!"[/color] Casper insisted. He tried to step forward in the direction he figured the car was, only for the world to spin. The ground came up and smacked him on the face. Casper's cheek was pressed into the concrete, his ass up high in the air, as if trying to entice someone to spank him. [color=DBA1DE]"Floor, what're you doing in the air?"[/color] he murmured. [color=DBA1DE]"You're not supposed to be there... Beeeeeen, why is the floor up high? And why is everyone upside down? Is it opposite day? I always thought that was how the government hid the aliens from us..."[/color] [i]"I think his brain's melted,"[/i] Ben said. No one but Casper could hear him and currently, M-Pox was cooking his brain, dissolving his psyche into a puddled mess... which admittedly wasn't out of the ordinary as far as Casper was concerned. "We'll have to close down the clinic, fuck," Chan cursed. An idea popped into her head. The purifiers were inside of the building. And while she had taken an oath to do no harm, she never made any oath against being a bad driver. "I'm going to buy you all some time. If you make me regret this, I'll haunt your asses," Chan warned, before taking off at a run to the side of the building, before disappearing from sight.
