[i]"Lookie here, boys! Looks like we have ourselves a human."
"Actually, I'm a mutant, but I'm sure you'll find that out if you take a step closer."[/i]

"Demo! Blow those bastards up!"[/i]

Heidi awoke. She was on the ground. Around her were the bodies of all the mutants and MRD who killed each other here. Only she was alive, because unlike the others, she tried to run. Her ears were bleeding, and everything was quiet. Her hearing should hopefully return. Right now, she needed to head to the rest of the X-men, and regroup. Maybe then she'd find out what was going on there.

Her hearing had not returned by the time the taxi dropped her off close to the bunker. She walked the rest of the way so as not to attract attention to it. She was worried about a lot of things, but the first thing she was going to do when she had access to the labs was diagnose herself for any damage caused by that blast. She keyed in the code she knew and red lights began to flash.

Urgh, of course they'd changed it...
