[hider=Part 2]
Kaylee stopped the car and got out. Leaning back in she looked at both the girls as she pocketed her keys.[color=palevioletred] "Well are you two getting out or just gonna sit there and stare?"[/color]

The smell of the tangy sharp salt from the ocean hit Kaylee and she breathed deep. The roar of the waves was a soothing dull crash of white noise. She straightened and closed the driver's side door softly. She leaned against the car lightly waiting for her students to exit.

The engine popped through its raucous chorus as Cole dropped another gear and glided down the small roadway into the mostly vacant lot where Kaylee’s car was parked. His shadow crept beneath dim orange street lights as he glanced past the car towards the beach seeing a few figures strolling by and others out just enjoying the contrast of the night versus the still blazing daylight sun. Pulling into the next space he shut the engine off and dropped the kickstand, running a hand over his face and through his wind-ruffled hair. He could feel the accumulation of a day riding in the open air on his skin along with the smell of exhaust in his t-shirt and jeans. Glancing over at Kaylee and the girls, it felt odd that they had only just seen one another a few hours ago and being around students outside the campus seemed to infer an unusual sense of informality. He briefly glanced at his watch seeing that his estimate on time had been fairly accurate and they couldn’t have been waiting for very long before nodding his head in greeting. “Hey,”

When the car stopped, Cleo had been staring out the window looking at the beach. One would think she had not seen one before but in reality it had just been that long since she had gone to one, It took her a few moments to realize the car was parked up, and that was because Kayleee had spoken up. 

Unbuckling the seat belt, Cleo opened the passenger door and stepped out, the smell of salt and crisp air hit her senses and took a moment to take it all in.  “Sorry, It has been a while” Cleo spoke as she rounded the car in time to hear the soft sounds of their locale being disrupted by the sound of a loud engine of a bike.

Soon enough the bike pulled up to reveal some hot guy, however she had a strange sense again, it felt…. Familiar to earlier but again she could not understand it and instead remained speechless staring at the guy for both those reasons.

Heidi also got out of the car, and looked around. Now this was a beach. Of course, there had been beaches back home, around the Firth of Forth, but they were a two-for-one deal with biting cold sub-zero winds from the North Sea. She turned back to Cleo, Kaylee and Cole, so that if anyone said anything, she’d catch it.

[color=gold]”So, we came all this way to talk. I’m assuming it was to be away from ears at the Institute. So, let’s start.”[/color] Heidi remarked, looking a little unsure of herself. She was trying to ignore her brain as it started thinking up hundreds of reasons.

Kaylee smiled at Heidi's enthusiasm. She rather liked the girl. Not that she didn't like any of the students but some she understood more than others.[color=palevioletred] "I wanted to make sure I knew what exactly happened last night. I also wanted to let you know that no one is directly at fault for what happened. No one."[/color] She looked pointedly at Cleo for that last statement.[color=palevioletred] "I asked Mr. St. John to join us because you girls might have some insight into what we could do to better protect the school. We'll start with Heidi first then move on to Cleo. Mr. St. John or I may ask a few questions so forgive the interruption beforehand."[/color] She signed to Heidi 'Please go ahead' and waited for the girl.

Heidi nodded, before starting her story. She contemplated omitting Ayel from her story, but she saw no reason to keep his involvement a secret. It complicates the story, but better to include him than not. [color=gold]”So, at the club, things started getting unusual when every mutant there heard a voice in their head. Including me. And I don’t hear voices very often so that caught my full attention. I can remember what it said, too;

‘To the lonely souls lost in the world, to the forsaken and depressed. Do not be afraid, there is no need to cry, no more need to run away or hide. I am one of you, you not alone. We are the chosen ones, the ones whom are currently being oppressed. Where we are forced to hide from sight, where we are called freaks and monsters. We are not monsters my brothers and sisters, we are a different branch of mankind. So I urge you to leave where you are hiding, find others like yourselves out there. Tomorrow I will guide you to where we can all meet. Under a new light. A beacon to guide us to the future which is waiting for us. Seek love and passion, and go forth... with my prayer.’

Shortly after this, I saw Uná sitting with a stranger with white hair. And then, a monster appeared in the club. Some of the others who were there started fighting it, but I noticed the stranger carrying an unconscious Uná out of the club, so I followed. I saw a car drive away which I correctly assumed was the one they were in, and spotted Aya in a trance, so stayed by her. Then a good samaritan approached us to help. His name was Ayel. As I’d learn later, he was the one who’d spoken in everyone’s heads.”[/color]

Kaylee nodded.[color=palevioletred] "Please continue."[/color] The gesture for the sign smooth and practiced.
