Kids being Kids(Tag Sidney,F.O.H and Cyc Closed)

[Hawthorn]

How have I been out hard telling whatever that lady did to John really did a number on him and it sure knocked me off my feet as well, though it took my healing powers longer to kick in I believe it wasn’t sure whatever they had on her hands.

Shaking my head slowly opening my eyes to a lowly lit room looking around didn’t see John and hearing a voice that sounded like it was muffled to cover the true voice of whoever had taken us prisoners, hearing the muffled voice say good morning.

OMG! John and I are so toasted and in the dog house when we get back we are going to be in so much trouble I don’t even want to know what Mr. Summer’s is going to do for punishment and Mr. Summer’s is going to have our hides handed to us on a silver platter.

Also hearing the muffled voice say it didn’t matter and that we were part of the blight that is helping the city to fester and rot and if we tell the voice what it wanted we would be released if our information was what it wanted and to its advantage.

Oh boy someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and has a huge grudge against the X-Men, yeah like we are going to be released after and if the whoever can get information from us it is not like we know much and I’m going to be damned if I’m going to give any information I’ll hold out as long as I can, though I’m not sure if John can hold out as long as I can. Have to find a way out of here and warn the X-Men first need to come up with a plan then work on getting out of here if we can.

With the room being barely lit with light it was hard to see anything and if John was in here at all looking around again I didn’t see John carp this is not good the person whoever took both of us prisoner must have John in another room hope he is okay.

Closing my eyes to see if I can sense John anywhere near me or in the room a moment later and to my delight I can sense John hearing him say that he wasn’t going to say anything and was asking for me.

That touched me a lot because this was the first time in my life
that I actually have a friend sure I know the other kids at the school but not like having a friend where you can share secrets and other things with.

John spoke again thought he felt me move asking me if that was me and if I was okay and that he would feel really guilty if I was hurt because of him being selfish.

Good that John won’t give in to talking hope he can hold out and I could feel that John was somewhat okay, and that John was concerned. One thing I have learned being with the X-Men is that you never give in and up and fight with all you have work as a team.

“John I’m okay and I’m glad that you are okay also, you had me a little worried there earlier. Do me one favor if you need to speak do it now and then clam up don’t say nothing more I have a bad feeling that we are in for a real world of hurt.” I said as low as I could so no one could hear only John.

Hopefully John will take my hint and clam up and hope that we can hold out and get out of here in one piece.

The kids are both awake and they have become aware of one another one even going to the lengths to ensure the other doesn’t say anything revealing. T

he kid called Sid seems to have a bit of nerve the other seems to be shaken easily. Let them sit in silence makes his target worry about what he is thinking and what those thoughts could mean for them.

“Kids you misunderstand your situation, you may feel that remaining silent or being defiant will save you it wont. You will tell me anything that you know if you choose to remain silent then I promise thing will become unpleasant and quick!”

This will most likely turn into a game of cat and mouse and since he held all the cards all he had to do was wait and push the right buttons, they are kids after all not trained soldiers used to dealing with scare tactics.

“What I want to know is how many mutant freaks are currently at that school, Are there anymore like the ones that nearly destroyed the city there, why are you scum here are planning something, and lastly how do I get in so I can rid my town of you soulless mongrels!”

Now they know what he wants to know chances are he will have to deal with more of their stubborn nature but they will break thing like these know nothing of honor or sacrifice all they know is what is in their hate filled hearts.

Which is sad but love for his fellow man is what drives him and he knows what he is doing is right every time he looks into the eyes of a normal kid and know the kid is alive and safe because another mutie is where they in a shallow grave.

“OK Freaks I tried to do things without force, but you have given no choice…”

Hitting a button on his desk he unlocks the door to the room the kids are in and a man wearing all black with a long black trench coat enters the room. Once the door closes it locks behind him the man has short blond hair with silver highlights and has steel like blue eyes. Rolling up his sleeves from his wrists to his forearms he walks over to the other side of the room and waits.

If the kids knew who he was they would be giving the answers to him rather than meet his gaze. The man loves to hurt and torture people but really loves breaking mutants it almost an art form onto itself. He wont do anything just yet but as soon as he hears that it is a go he will have them in hell in seconds.

“Kids this is the time you have to answer before things get…Interesting!”

[Johnny Knuckles]

His head still feels like it is swirling as he hears Sid’s words. Feeling a sweat bead rolling down his face John begins to wish his head would hurry and clear and he wonder if his friend has turn into a gangster from his dads old Noir detective movies. If the situation was not as serious he would laugh at him for saying clam up.

Taking a couple of deep breathes he really let his friend words set in and John knows even if he wanted to he couldn’t tell this person anything because he still doesn’t know himself. Being wet behind the ears is what he would be called if he were in that Noir world.

“Don’t worry Sid I have nothing to give, Are you hot also or is it just me I’m starting to sweat buckets here!”

Which is true he could not only feel running down the back of his neck but his shirt was starting to cling to him. At this point he was looking forward to having Professor Summers lecture it would mean that all turned out right.

The door opens and at first he couldn’t see who was making the footsteps until he steps into his vantage point.

The looked like trouble major trouble the king of guy that may not let them walk out of there sane if at all. That together with what the mystery voice was saying all the things it did he knows if something doesn’t happen and happen soon he and Sid would be in way to deep.

“WE don’t know what you want to know so you are wasting your time bringing in your Johnny Bravo wannabe just let us go and we will forget this happened!”

He wasn’t sure what would happen but maybe one the two was a hothead maybe he could trick them into reveal something that could help either him or his fellow x-kid with him. Blonde seemed uninterested but it was obvious he was paying attention to their actions.

“Hey Sid maybe blonde over their will give us makeovers so when we get back maybe one of the girls will date us”

[Hawthorn]

Hearing the voice again and it seemed like the voice was eager to get the information out of us saying that we had misunderstood the situation and being quiet and also being a hero wouldn’t save our necks and that we would be telling it everything it wanted to know and if we went the route of clamming up the voice will make sure things would be very uncomfortable very quickly.

Sid wasn’t surprised at the scare tactics nor surprised with things getting really messy shortly.

This more or less reminded him of when the old school was attacked and he was taken prisoner, being beaten and tortured for not doing what he was told to or resisting to do what the bad guys wanted him to do their bidding. Yes he has gone through this before but this might be different it didn’t matter he still had gone through this and came out battered and torn. It wouldn’t be any easier for him at least he can take more torture and beating than John ever could.

He might be in the infirmary at school for a while at least he knows that he saved his friend’s life, he also knows that John has a family and he doesn’t have a family so it wouldn’t matter how badly he gotten tortured and beaten.

Snapping his attention back hearing the voice say that it wanted to know how many mutants are at the school and if there were any more mutants like the ones who nearly destroyed the city, and if we are planning anything and last but not least how would the voice be able to rid it’s town of useless and soulless mutants.

That more or less struck a raw nerve with Sid, thinking to himself, try being one of us and see how we are treated just the way you are doing now don’t think you would like it very well we have to put with this kind of shit every day from normal people all us mutants want to do is live in peace with normal people but normal people shun us away and treat us like trash. I didn’t ask to be this way I was born with it and I think of it as a gift. You normal people don’t think of others only for yourselves.

The voice spoke again and it sounded very angry that we hadn’t spoke up yet saying that it tried to this the easy way and without force and that John and I had given the voice no other choice.

Hearing the door open and footsteps then the door closing the footsteps getting closer and stop not far from view of him, seeing the man and the look on his face and for some reason Philip Jenson pops into his mind and if this is who he thinks it is but only by name.

Then he remembered a profile that he read at school when he had done a little research on the enemies of the X-Men and he had read about this Jenson dude and that he has killed adult mutants that alone tells you that both of them are in deep shit and up the creek without a paddle to say the least.

There was no way that John would last more than a half hour being tortured and he had to get John out of here one way or another. Just looking at Jenson sends chills down his spine. He could feel that was still slightly groggy from whatever drug that knocked them out, and feeling John take a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down, hearing John say not to worry that he wasn’t going to say anything and asking if he was hot too and that he was sweating buckets.

Sid could feel that John was sweating badly must be whatever drug was used was wearing off or another side effect.
He felt warm himself but he wasn’t sweating like his friend was, “yeah I’m feeling slightly warm myself John.”

Then John speaks up saying to the voice that they didn’t know what the voice wanted and that it was a waste of its time and to let us go and we would forget what happened.

If his hands were free Sid would be doing the classic facepalm for the comment that John just made, he more or less rolled his eyes.

Sid knew all too well that the torture would start and he had to think quickly of how he was going to get John out of here and have bring back help to get him out of here if he was still alive, very coolly and calmly speaking to John, “I wish you had kept your mouth clammed shut. John you more or less made Mr. Jenson’s day standing in the corner over I can see that evil grin slowly slithering across his face and his going to have a good old time breaking us into tiny little pieces, I don’t think by the time we get out of here there won’t be enough of us for the girls to date.”

Let’s see what Mr. Voice does first hoping this will surprise Mr. Voice and it should give me enough time to come up with some kind of deal to free John.

[N.P.C.]

((N.P.C. is Greydon Morgan))

“Kids, Kids, Kids. Don’t waste your time but I do have a little admiration for your spirit. Tell me is there anyone outside of Summers in charge of your little militia?”

With his special guest in the room hey knows he is holding all the cards. One of the kid looks like he is ill and the other is truly enraged by others attempted at a ruse. All these freaks think that a few choice words will send everyone they run encounter into a juvenile rage. So sad Jenson only slightly raises his eyebrow at the mention of one of his many names Morgan smiles knowing that one of is at least slightly aware.

“Do you really want to sit and listen as your friend is slowly killed something you both have the power to prevent as you sit there!”

The one called Sid must have been with the school the longest being that he knows how to deal with a hostage situation. Normal tactic most likely will not work and there is a good chance that he is not going to in to the type of pain that still allow him to speak good thing the other is here.

“Okay so you are giving me nothing… Mr. Enforcer can please show why you are in the room!”

The room seemed to grow darker with menace as the impending action of the man they know as Jenson are about to play themselves out. Jenson moves towards them already knowing what he is thinking and but not being obvious about not letting to the fact he knows who is going to attack.
He circles them both like a shark smelling blood taking everything they do and don’t do if they spoke he did not hear a single word they spoke just letting himself do what he needs. Stopping in front of his target the one named john he couldn’t help but to see how the boy’s state was getting worse by the moment so now was the perfect time to strike.

The first punch lands to the face and rocks him back Morgan knows that Jenson is not going to do the things he normally does but what he is going to will be very effective. The next one lands in the kid mid-section causing him to cough uncontrollably. Not letting him catch his breath he strikes him in the face again.

The next hits the kids square in the ribs and Jenson he could tell that he had broken two of them and by the way he was breathing after he could tell one of his lungs had to be damaged. After hitting in the face once again he walks away.

“Be smart kids the one can’t hold out much longer. If this keeps up you both will die here in this room. You can stop this tells us everything we want to know NOW!!”

Leaning back Morgan watches the two kids and he knows that if they talk they die if they don’t talk they die either he will enjoy the show.

[Johnny Knuckles]

John could feel something was wrong, that he was beginning to feel truly fatigued. He heard Sid’s words but had to try something letting his friend was not an option but neither was giving that smile ball on the microphone what he wanted. He may never be able to put into words that Sid would truly understand as to what he was trying to do but one day he would give it a shoot.

In his new found haze he didn’t notice Jensen approach him but he did feel all of the impact of his punch. He would have to remember to ask Sid if their heads bumped because the back of his head hurt almost as much as where he was struck. The next time one causes him to lose everything that was left of what he had eaten prior the convention some of it get caught half way up and he sees something darker food leave his mouth at another powerful punch makes the world tilt.

His ribs explode with a type of pain that his has never before felt but knew right away he didn’t want to feel anything like it again. Not only did it hurt to move, the little he could manage to do it hurt to breath. His pain being so great that his cry of pain was one that even surprised him and the next punch even as painful as it was nothing compared to it.

All he could is lean to his right so he didn’t have any pressure on his hurt ribs. Before this he thought he could be the bad ass in the movie that could take anything that could be dished out and still make a smart ass remark, Not only did find that not to be the case but he found that there might be chance he never will be.

Making himself stop thinking in that manner he tries to think of the answer instead of the problem. The he was leaning he could feel back with his thumb he knows if he was going to do this there would be no second chances. Jabbing Sid in the back he feels Sid’s hand grab his thumb he counts to three in his head and goes for breaking the ropes and punching Jensen as he runs toward him causing him to fly back hit the wall hard then hit the ground making a loud thud noise.
After that John knew he was spent at least he was still alive for the moment went through his mind. Falling to the ground all he can do physically is fight to breathe and talk.

“I think letting us go would in your best interest because once I catch my breath me and my friend are going to come up there and it won’t be to pretty!”

He hopes that what he just did freaks out the guy enough that he lets them go but for the moment it was all up to Sid.

[Hawthorn]

It seems like old grumpy pants is getting impatient and doesn’t like the that we are not saying anything, tells us that we are more or less wasting our time not giving out information the person wanted.It doesn’t matter if we waste our time not saying a word I have a feeling regardless of what we say or do Mr. grumpy pants will knock us off, if that is the case better fight and go down in a blaze of glory.

And do we really want to see and listen as one of us might be killed in the process and that we can prevent this if we talk, shaking my head knowing what the outcome might be the main thing is I can get John out in one it doesn’t matter if I die, don’t have family though I should have written out at least a letter to Father Flanagan in the case I did die with my last wishes.

Mr. Grumpy pants yells to Jenson saying would he show us why Mr. Jenson was the in the room holding my breath hoping that Jenson would go after me first.

Jenson circles us like a piranha smelling fresh blood he looks us over seeing who he will torture first he stops in front of John and I brace myself for what is to come, had a feeling that that Jenson would go after John first instead of me knowing John more than likely would say something or make me say something which will not happen I won’t say anything.

Hearing the punch connect to John’s face, and John’s head snaps back and nails me hard in the back of the head I see stars for a moment, from the force of the punch Jenson is out to really do some nasty damage to both of us and there more than likely a few broken teeth even John’s jaw might be broken.

The next punch that connected was in the midsection and John went into a coughing fit, Jenson didn’t let John recover from the last blow. And the next blow was right in the face chest I heard at least couple of ribs break under the force that made me flinch inside and that is going to leave a mark; the way I heard John’s breathing he might also have a lung punchier oh that’s a serious injury and there wouldn’t be enough time to heal the punchier lung though I could heal the wound enough to seal it off, one more blow to the jaw, Jenson steps back.

It seems like Mr. grumpy pants is a little more cheerful now that one of us is hurt pretty bad, saying to us to be smart and that John most likely wouldn’t much longer and if it keeps up in the end both of us would be knocked off here. Not if I can help it I’m going to get John out somehow out and in one piece, Mr. grumpy pants says that this can stop now if we tell him everything, Mr. grumpy wants to know now.

No way in hell I’m going say anything I hope that John will forgive me when this is all over.

John leaned to the right to take off the pressure from the broken ribs, and it felt like was leaning back trying to reach and grabs my hand it seemed like a few seconds and the rope that had been binding my hands were broken, John had used one of his powers.
Heard John punch Jenson as he ran towards Jenson both of them crash into the wall hard then he fell to the floor face first.

John spoke saying it would be in the best interest that Mr. grumpy pants lets us go and when he had caught his breath he and myself were going to up to Mr. grumpy pants and it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.

In the condition that John was in there was no way he would be fighting not by a long shot.

Quickly standing up grabbing a chair and dashed for where Jenson was momentarily stunned and slammed the chair as hard as I could into Jenson’s midsection the chair busted into a lot of smaller pieces, I was holding on to a small piece of the chair and it had a sharp end.

Jamming the sharp end of the piece of wood deep into Jenson’s right thigh and slammed my first into is face seeing Jenson go down for the moment hopefully this will give me enough of time to get John out here to get help.

Quickly going over to John and I turn him over on his back, I quickly place my hands over the ribs that have been broken and lung that has been damaged closing my eyes and quickly go into my healing trance, and set to work quickly mending the broken bones and seal the small hole in John’s lung.

Watching the one kid getting beaten was not as satisfying as he thought it would be in fact, it left him wanting to see them dead. Then something he never expected happened the kid John got the upper hand on his one man wrecking crew which left him completely open for the other to do his part.

Hearing the threatening words leave the kid says makes a smile come to his like those two worthless grubs could hurt him when he still has his ace. The kid couldn’t stay on feet much less live up to the words that left his lips. Greydon waits to speak making it seem like he is actually thinking about letting them out but that would only happen when they are in body bags.

“…. As much as I fear for myself at the moment I don’t think I shall be letting you go you still have information I desire if you don’t give me what I desire… YOUR BOTH GOING TO DIE DOWN THERE!!”

Watching the kid Sid try to help he decides that since Jensen failed he would need to show them his hand to know the entirety of the situation. Reach his pocket he pulls out the activation button given to him to activate his sentinel. The gears moan as the giant mutant hating being slowly comes to life. Then the wall to the kids opposite side rises to reveal its hidden threat.

The twin ruby fires that are the eyes of the beast shine though to the next room and its booming voice fills the room.

“Sentinel unit 45901 is online and detects possible mutant threat. Awaiting orders to terminate”

This time these kids will not be able to do anything but what he wanted that being talk and then die.

[Johnny Knuckles]

The pain was all that he felt as he lay on his friends lap. The man that was there to tenderize them was now lying in a heap on the floor not too far away. He was happy to that Sid could finish Jensen off they might have been in real danger if wasn’t able.

Sid healing powers give John a warming sensation flow throughout his body as he lays there. Even though it hurt him a great deal john rolls to his sides and vomits some blood that was in his lunges making sure he didn’t get any one Sid he slowly returns to place. His body must be adjusting so it can be healed or at least that is what he wants to believe.

“Sid what are we going to do if he doesn’t let us go. Would you be willing to leave me behind if it came down to it? I haven’t known you guys in the mansion but I know all of you are good people and if I can help you then I will be happy with that”

The mystery man starts ranting again. His voice is annoying as it rings throughout the room his threat does not have the impact he was hopping for as the mocking tone the man uses goes straight to threating. Does this guy know any other things to say blah blah blah your nothing blah blah blah tell me or die if he weren’t in pain he mention that but the pain prevents it.

He never expected to the one of the walls there was a faux wall once it makes it to its climax it reveals a secret he wishes was a bunny instead. The big bulking death machine walks in and talks to the man who has been threatening them he almost lost control of his bowels.

“Sid never mind what I just said I need to just be in fighting condition maybe one of use can manage to slip away during this upcoming fight”

It was going to take someone from the school to take this new problem down he was happy that there was only one of them if there had been more they would be done for.

[Hawthorn]

Although I’m using my healing powers and I’m in a semi trance, I still can listen to any sudden change of noise.

It didn’t take long to seal and heal John’s injured lung. The challenge was the three broken ribs and this would take some time to mend and heal plus it would also put a good deal drain on my energy and on top of that there wouldn’t be enough time to properly to mend the broken bones.

John rolled over to the side hearing him moan in pain as he spits up blood that had pooled in his lung and returns to the position he was a moment ago.

I was about to start to work on mending at least one of the broken ribs for John, though I will need all the energy I have to fight and help get both of us out of here.

Old grumpy pants didn’t seem all that thrilled about me taking down Jenson hopefully I injured him and knocked him out for awhile. Grumpy pants tells us that he wasn’t afraid of our empty threat for the moment and that grumpy pants wasn’t going to let us go until either one of us gave him the information it wanted and if we didn’t give that information well it’s like this sucks to be us because we are going to die here.

Saw that threat coming a mile away and I wasn’t even surprised either. I’m not going to give information not for him or anyone who wants to destroy the X-men.

John asks me what we are going to do if grumpy wouldn’t let us go and if I was willing to leave him behind when it was time, and if he could help me in anyway John was more than happy to do so.

Was about to answer John’s question as there was the sound of gears grinding and then moaning the wall on the other side of the room slowly rises to reveal what had been hiding there.

Trying not flinch or even show fear knowing what it was and it can do. The slim chance of us getting out here in one piece just went to zip we are gone to the wind, no if’s and butts about that.
The Sentinel moved out from where it had been saying it was waiting for orders and that it has detected a possible mutant threat among us.

Hearing John say never mind about the first question saying that he needed to be in a fighting condition and just maybe one of us would be able to slip through and get help from the others.

Looking down at John, “I was only able to heal your injured lung it will take some time for me to mend and heal your broken bones also mending broken bones will drain of my energy a lot which I’m going to need all the strength I have to fight our way out of here.”

I’m quickly thinking of a plan hoping it will work we need a big distraction, knowing the sentinel will more than likely go after John because of his power level VS my power level is pretty low so I would be the one to slip out, though a big draw back on that is John is in no condition to fight anything and he would be dead before I even got help.

So that leaves me which I can hold out a little longer than John could and he would be able to get help, the other drawback is where in the blue blaze’s are we? For all I know we can be in the middle of nowhere and we wouldn’t be able to find help for that matter.

Shaking my head and calm my nerves down some I don’t need to panic not now John is looking up to me to get us out of here. If my memory serves me correct I have at least 2 shots of confusing the sentinel in thinking that either grump pants or Jenson are mutants which will take care of one threat to a point.

Second the Sentinel knows that John and myself are mutants now if I can get the sentinel to help up which is a long shot though worth a try. If I could convince the sentinel to scan for other mutants in the area or hopefully the school again another long shot best thing is to provoke it into sending John flying back to the school maybe.

Taking a deep breath letting it out slowly and looked at John again, “Okay John we have at least 2 shots here of getting out and getting help make sure we make both shots worth wild.

First shot is confuse the sentinel that we are no threats to it don’t use your powers a choice of convincing the sentinel that Jenson and grumpy pants are the threat instead of us and second…” letting my words trail off for a moment.

“I hope you will forgive me on this and trust me it’s the only other way and if you don’t forgive me I will not blame you for hurting me after this is over with. The second shot is provoke the sentinel to send you flying back to the school to get help, I know you have four more powers to use this will help me out more than anything John and it will help you too. And these are the only options to actually get out of here and I’m going to be the distraction; after Jenson, grumpy pant and you are gone and hell is going to bust lose. What do you say John are you with me on this?”

Quickly looking around the room to see if there were any weapons I could use on the sentinel after John was gone waiting to see what the sentinel was going to do after getting orders from grumpy pants.

The kids seem to readying themselves for a last stand or something of that nature they must know that neither of them is a match for a sentinel, even well trained X-Men have their issue with these highly effective bug zappers.

There kids are showing him a lot about themselves and about the school even though the kids haven’t spoken a word they have told him how far the are willing to go. They have strong bonds built on trust and respect it would almost be touching if they were in anyway human.

“Sentinel unit eliminate these vermin with utmost prejudice”

“Sentinel unit 45901 will comply. Scanning targets. Both unknown. Powers unknown. Threat level unknown. Engaging Targets.”

With that being done Greydon decides that his presents is no longer needed slipping out to his awaiting transportation he knows he will have another shot and when it comes there will be no failures.

[Johnny Knuckles]

A sentinel thinks John thinks to himself a freakin sentinel even for a X-Man this should not be your first fight. That being said he couldn’t thin of a single bad guy that should be anyone’s first fight. A dizzy spell threatens to over take him so he closes his eyes and concentrates on breathing even though do so was till painful.

He was not going to be able to leave Sid here alone flashes through his mind, but he knew something had to be done and soon. Sid’s healing was helping it was slowly becoming easier to breath.

Opening his eyes he looks at the giant machine of hate and death and wonders how the others did the first time they stood before something like this. He starts wishes he hadn’t used his powers early as one ability he has would be a life saver.

Running his hand over his knuckles he notices something he had to see to believe and seeing only gave him more hope. Somehow Sid’s healing caused his powers to reset how this happened and why they would figure out later with help, but that depended on them living through this ordeal.

The sentinel scans them and find that everything about them is unknown to them in the mutant registering business. Which may turn into another blessing but it doesn’t last long as it raises it hand John stand up and pushes Sid to one side as he jump to the other and a energy blast lands where they were.

Pressing the knuckle of his pointer to regain his strength John finds himself thinking that if they are going to have to get out of this building. Once outside they might be able to figure out where they are and how to get some help.

The tin man fires another shot at him as he once again dodges it but this time he it and slides into the wall. Standing up he looks to see if he is being targeted again the answer being no it was Sid punching as hard as he could into the wall he pulls a huge chunk of wall and throws it at its head.

The contact was not only caused it to miss to stumble forward a step. For a moment John was transfixed by the sight of the piece of wall sticking out the side of the sentinels head but the smell of salt water pulls his attention to the whole he just made.

His next punch make a bigger whole in the wall big enough in fact for him to walk out of but he wouldn’t be getting out alone. Sid was till inside but where he was about to find out.

“Sid where are you we have a way out!!”

[Hawthorn]

Hearing the sentinel say that it will carry out the orders it was given to by most likely from grumpy pants.

Also hearing the sentinel scan both of us and saying it couldn’t detect power levels nor threat levels and it was engaging its targets.

Crap guess those two options I thought might be worth a try went right out the window.

Saw John close his eyes for a moment looked like he was feeling light headed and focused on breathing normal again at least to a point without hurting too much and it sounded like he was still hurting some from the broken ribs.

Noticed that John ran his hand over the knuckles of his other hand that has his powers and saw there was some hope in his eyes not sure why and it looked like he was going to do something like fight.

I was about to say to John that his ribs were still broken when John stood up and I heard the sentinel fire at us. John pushed me hard out of the way from the incoming blast from the sentinel.

I stumble a few steps losing my balance hitting the floor hard getting up and I didn’t see John anywhere and saw the huge hole in the floor where we were a moment ago, I swallow hard hoping that John managed to get out of the way.

Seeing I was next to a wall getting the idea that I can us the wall as a weapon all I needed was something to into the wall and break off a piece of the wall, I start using my hands and work as fast as I can to get what I need, hearing the sentinel fire at me I managed to jump out of the way seeing a pipe on the floor picking it and work as fast as I can to get that piece of wall and I got a large piece of wall and with all my strength I heave the piece at the sentinel’s head and to my surprise the piece slams into the head of the sentinel seeing the sparks shoot out I quickly work to get another piece of wall.

Thought I heard more pounding on the wall from the other side still can’t see anything with all the dust still hovering from the blasts from the sentinel, and then I heard John’s voice asking where I was and he had found a way out, sweet! And I quickly head towards John’s voice, “I’m coming John hold on!”

After the dust clears enough and after choking from the fumes of the plaster I see that I wasn’t that far from John and seeing the hole in the wall and grin at John as I ran as fast as I can to the hole.

Yelling to John, “John go through the hole now! I’ll be right behind you it wouldn’t be long before old rust bucket recovers.”

Man I swear the sentinel has good hearing and it recovers quickly and spots at the hole in the wall and fires at us.

I shove John into the hole and I dive into the hole in the wall and I put up a protective barrier around us, “move it knuckle head! Or do I have to kick you in the arse to move, I won’t be able to hold off the sentinel for long.” I said gritting my teeth feeling the strain of the barrier caving in.

((N.P.C. is Sentinel 45901))


The Sentinel lock his sights on his young targets they stationary almost in stunned disbelief. After following the usual protocol to scant the target to see if it is an registered mutant only to come up and its first attempted at terminating them also turned into a failed.

One pushes they other and they scatter the machines heat sensors pick one of the kids right away and once again he attacks and comes up empty. The other pops up on his radar and this time he has a good target lock chances of escape zero. Just as the unit was about to fire a very strong impact rock it and causes it no only to miss fire but to stumble as well.

Another impact comes from an iron bar the kids are fighting back the Sentinel calculates that they have no chance of winning if it could it would be smirking at that notion. A sound like thunder erupts through the building and he hears as one proclaims to the other they had the means to escape this could not be permitted.

The machine could not stop them from leaving the building but he could preventing them from returning to their home. The big advantage he has is that they are total unaware to their current location but it was not.

Blasting the whole in the wall making it big enough from to exit also seemed to destabilize that side of the building causing it to collapse. Stepping forward it raises both hand having locked on both his targets.

Getting pushed out by Sid was odd feeling, but having pushed him earlier he only wished he landed outside of the school. Looking around he sees that they area in a harbor dock. They must be on the bay he is happy he knows where they are but he is also upset cause he doesn’t know how to get back to the others.

The night air causes him to shiver as a misquote bites him on the neck. He swats it and begins slowly moving toward Sid. The waves hitting the pier that along with horns from the boats, and the noises from the buoys are all he can hear.

He begins to wish one of his abilities was telepathic in nature even just a mild version of it would suit them just perfect. Dwelling on something that not going to help snaps him out of that thought. The Sentinel emerges as the building crumbles behind him as John knew it would because its job still was not complete.

Well that was very unsettling thing to hear without pause John grabs a hold full of dirt and throw it in the androids eyes. He was thinking of making a hears mud in your eyes joke but decided not it was way to obvious. He charges at his enemy planning on taking out one of its legs but before he can do so an energy blast sends him flying in the opposite direction and through the back gate and onto the wooden pier.

He knew from the pain he was going to be in the infirmary for a while after this he was close to passing out his limbs are screaming in pain, but the pain was something he could focus on to keep himself conscious.

Raising his head and surveying his surroundings he see that if hadn’t stopped where he did he would be floating in the water and that would not have been good given the fact of cold the water gets.

“Hopefully this is as bad as it gets”
