Featuring: Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Logan
Date: February 26th (Thursday)
Time of Day: Midday (sometime after 1pm)
Place: On the road to Bayville




Logan crossed over traffic to avoid getting bogged down in the mad rush out of the city New York was a mad house at the best of times and in the distance the sound of a patrol car siren blaring was a good indicator that the two on the run had company. Fantastic, first the trouble with unknown assailant from some sort of government or private agency now the boys in blue. Charlie better be damn right about this girl. "Alright Pumpkin, talk fast." He said manouvering them over the median strip into oncomming traffic. He swerved dangerously passed honking traffic and then jumped the bike again onto clearer traffic.

"What's the deal with you, you got powers right? Anything we can use?" What he'd really like was some fresh gas, but he doubted she could spit gasoline. She wasn't showing any signs of super strength back at the park, but she could still surprise the Canadian.

Their destination was still a while a way and he couldn't just show up at the mansion with a police escort, it would bring with it questions. Too many for him to answer in any polite fashion and besides if Chuck wasn't gonna like it Lensherr was gonna have a fit. He spotted a clear lane and coasted for a second whilst turning his head to look over his shoulder. That mirror would've come in mighty handy now.

"Ya hear that?" His ears where a lot more sensitive than most, but even Kitty should be able to hear the tell tale sound of approaching police vehicles. It sounded like the call had been joined by a second squad car. "Ah crud." He sighed before looking forward and slamming on the breaks. They had come within inches of hitting a car in front of them. Logan swore loud and long and then had to check that his passenger was alright. "Still alive?" He asked unapolagetically.

Kitty could hear the sirens behind them, even with the motorcycles engine roaring and the wind whooshing past her ears. She held tighter onto Logan, this ride had well and truly put her off bikes for a while.

“Well unless you have a use for me falling through stuff that’s suppose to be solid I think we’re a bit screwed.” She cringed as they swerved some more.

She barely heard his warning as the brakes went on and she was flung forward into him. Yeouch this guys back was hard. ‘Better not have any bruises on my face…’ she thought to herself. That was all she needed, a bruised face to add to the bruises she’d got from the would-be mugger/soldier girl. What a wonderful day today was turning out to be. Her mom was going to freak when she found out.

“Yeah I’m alive, barely,” She grumbled in reply. “Just do your stuff, I don’t fancy being caught by the cops..”

Rogue heard the sirens. She grinned as her eyes flicked over the sunglasses, up towards the mirror. Adjusting it slightly with her right hand so she could see the two cop cars tailing her clearly. She wiggled her fingers giving them a cheeky wave as they signaled her to pull over, she wasn't pulling over till she had the man and the Katherine girl. So the cops could just suck it. Her hand moved down to the CD player, she turned up the music as loud as it would go...attempting to drown out the sirens. Iron Maiden-Run to the Hills...could drown out just about anything...

“Y'all come to join the party too? Well be mah guest...” She grinned as the drums kicked in, focusing her eyes on the road ahead she spotted them swerve into an almost clear lane. She kicked the throttle up a notch. It however didn't go as smoothly as it had been, the man whose memory she had stole was fading little by little and so were the neat little tricks she had been so courteously utilizing to give chase.

She would just have to hope that some of the driving skills would remain a little bit longer, there was no way she was going back to Weapon X empty handed. She shuddered internally at the thought. She needed to catch them, the cops were no big deal. As soon as they came near her she would absorb them. They wouldn't know about her nifty mutant ability, and she wasn't wearing too many clothes right now, so it would be heir own downfall. Maybe she could get her hands on some cuffs! They could come in real handy...

She watched as the bike up ahead came to an abrupt stop, she gave a quick glance to her left and right wing mirrors, the NYPD were still tailing her like shed car jacked someone...oh...wait...she had... but they didn't know that yet, hopefully. She gained on the escapees, every moment they were stationary was one she regained. Somewhere inside her she felt guilty about having to take them to Weapon X... but it was either her or them.

"...run for your lives..."
She whispered along to the song as it boomed from the speakers.

She could fall through stuff? Real helpful, thanks a lot Chuck. Way to ruin a nice drive by collecting some kid that could.. wait a minute. "You can go through stuff?" Well at least it might prove to be a defensive ability. Just how to use though. Logan could hear the sirens and something else now. There was a car that was gaining on them very fast a v8 engine with someone really playing music loud.

After halting in their tracks, Logan grunted and checked on Katherine. She'd taken a whole lot shaking up today, if she was a strong girl she might just survive this. "That makes two of us." He certainly wasn't pulling over for a bunch of doughnut biting blue boys to give him a ticket. Not unless he wanted to make them eat it.

Angling the bike around by foot, Logan looked up and caught a glimpse of a car driving towards them and fast. On further inspection, Logan discovered it was the girl from Central Park! "Hold on, where being followed." Well of course they were, but this time it was by "Her!" He pointed for Kitty's sake, he didn't know how good her eye sight was, but he wasn't going to let that crazy woman get any closer.

Logan forgot about maintaining his bike and instead of wheeling the thing around gunned the engine and steered hard left. The scream of tire left a billowing skid marked stench and the grey-blue storm of smoke wafted up as the tell tale sign of them making haste. The bike lurched forward violently and they were on the movie again. Logan lowered his head hugging the frame of the bike. The cop cars were also gaining. If only the Professor could intervene..

Oh great, why wouldn’t this girl give up? Kitty spotted her assailant as Logan pointed, though it wasn’t hard to hear where the source of the noise was coming from.

As Logan wheeled the bike around, Kitty was still looking over her shoulder at the approaching patrol cars, she hoped this guy had a few tricks up his sleeve, if they escaped the cops she was pretty sure the girl wasn’t gonna give up so easily. As scared as she was by her, she had to admire the girls determination.

She was still watching the cars as the bike lurched. Without any warning she gave a small shriek as she felt her grip loosen. It was then she realised it wasn’t that her arms weren’t gripping Logan’s body anymore, but that they were going through him.

“Logan!”
She screamed out as she fell through the back tyre of the bike. She waited for the thud as her body hit the tarmac, but instead felt the all over tingle as she slid through the surface. Instinct seemed to motivate her as she kicked her legs, half stepping, half swimming through the solid road. Luckily her head was still above the surface, and she looked behind to see if anyone had seen her. ‘Oh crap, the cops.’

With a surge of energy she pushed herself up out of the road, and landed in a crouched position. By now the first patrol car had spotted her and she could hear the breaks screech as it tried to avoid her. She gave them a mischievous smile, she may as well have some fun with them while she had a grasp on her powers.

As the car came skidding towards her she took a deep breath and tried to focus on the tingling feeling that usually came when she used her powers. She felt a small moment of doubt as the car hurtled towards her, but the adrenaline quickly took over as she felt the car go through her. It was travelling so slowly now that she could see the started expressions on the two cops inside. An impulsive thought struck her as she felt herself go through the windshield. She grabbed for the shotgun on the passengers side and tried to concentrate on extending her powers on to that. Well, if they were on the run then a gun would come in mighty handy. She smiled as she felt her hand close on the barrel of the gun. well now she knew she could phase abject with her as well as herself. Awesome!

She pulled the gun towards her as she fell out of the boot of the car. The car she had passed through gave a splutter then seemed to stop altogether. 'Wow, did I do that?' Her body stopped the tingling sensation and she stood up from her crouched pose, holding the gun in both hands as she waited for the cops to recover. Or for Logan to come save her

“Logan! I got you a present!”

Rogue watched as the gal was startled off the bike and did...a really cool phase through one of the squad cars. She was impressed, no wonder the boss man wanted her. She quirked her eyebrow up as her mind raced what to do next, only one cop car to take care of. Rogue decided that the best course of action would be to pull over...and do some showing off of her own. She slammed on the breaks, the car groaned under the force and screeched to a halt, throwing Rogue forward violently as she struggled to keep control of he car.

The squad car behind her followed suit and came to an abrupt halt. She got out of the car with a sigh, she knew the drill...hands on your head. She couldn't hear them over the stereo 'show them no fear, show them no pain...' it screamed... she waited for the female cop to approach her. “Hands on the bonnet girl” The cop said angrily, Rogue complied with a knowing grin as she watched her reach for the cuffs and grab her bare skinned right arm angrily, the force at which she did so causing the shades to fall off her face.

Rogue didn't need to see the look of horror on the cops face as she absorbed her, Rogue winced as the memories flashed before her eyes, her knees almost buckling with the pain. As the woman collapsed to the floor Rogue took a sharp intake of breath to collect herself“Yeah, you should've took the day off gal...” She said to the unconscious woman, as if answering an unspoken question. She grimaced before turning her head to see Katherine crouching in the middle of the road, with a shotgun...perfect.

She began to sprint towards her, 'Logan...' She thought to herself 'So thats his name...' she made a mental note to remember that. Wow...this cop was fast...

"Ah hope y'all aint planning on using that gal, y'all dont look like the NRA type" She said with a knowing smile as she made a grab for Katherine.

The bike moved and bucked so fast that Logan hardly realised that loss of weight from the back of the bike, the front wheel lifted up and the feeling of arms wrapped around his body was gone. The scream of his name had Logan twisting his head back, Logan in shock realized that Kitty had somehow envoked her abilities she had just mentioned. "Ahh $#@^." he growled and again began the painful task of wrenching the steering all the way around whilst accelerating and swinging the body of the bike 180 degrees.

The cop car was comming too fast, it had over taken the Mustang and was right in the line of Kitty. "No no no no!" he shouted, spittle errupting from his maw as he raced back, the engine sounding like it was in pain. The dread sight of the car swinging uncontrollably towards the teen had Logan feel adreniline shoot through his body. The car tried it's best to avoid but the right front panel went sailing straight towards the teen. Except the collision never occured.

Wasting no time Logan moved through oncomming traffic to the sight of the police car now crashed into a side railing. The officers were either in shock or passed out because they weren't leaving the vehicle. The mutant girl Kitty had shown what she was capable of. Logan pulled up a few feet from Kitty and set the bike down on the kick stand. "That's great kiddo but we gotta go, really right now." He was dead serious.

He had so many thoughts going through his head that he realized too late that the woman from the park had left her vehicle and was making a dash for Kitty. "Give me that." He ordered taking the shotgun off of Kitty with one hand and grabbing at her arm just as the Southern girl reached them. Logan pulled Kitty hard, drawing his arm around his waist to get her behind him. "You mean this?" He stopped for a second, he felt weakened and his senses were off. He gasped for air feeling constricted for a second and tried shaking it off. Opening and closing his jaw for feeling, Logan felt his body start to waken up again it was if he had just gone totally numb.

The adrenaline high she had been on when she’d phased through the car quickly left as Logan pulled up next to her. Now she was getting the shakes, she’d never phased more than twice in a day, but today shed gone through so many solid objects she’d lost count.

She rolled her eyes as Logan took the gun off her. “You could be a little bit more thankful.” She was about to brush herself down as he pulled her out of the way. Oh yeah, that other girl….

This woman was possessed, she decided as she narrowly avoided being grabbed by her; she was way too freaked out to even think of phasing at this moment. Instead the girl caught Logan.

Kitty was about to make herself intangible so she could defend herself when she realised the girl wasn’t attacking her. She looked at Logan and saw him shake himself off. Wow, he really didn’t look to good. But then, neither did this girl at the moment.

“Yeah tha...” Rogue started with a snarl as she launched herself at the girl, failing to grab her but instead her hand brushing lightly against Logan's hand as he pulled Kitty away from her grasp. She felt the sensation clearly, every hair on the mans hand stroking her skin like a thousand tiny pins. She felt every follicle, she began to grit her teeth against the new found sensitivity and pulled her hand back defensively.

She reeled backwards panting loudly, staring at her own hand. She didn't know...she didn't know who she was anymore. Everything was going so slow, or her mind was racing to fast she couldn't figure out which '503 Auto Theft...Central Park...Kitty...Weapon X...23104 Reckless Driver...Insane...Chuck...' She clasped her hands to either side of her head covering her ears trying to block out everything, there was too much!

“Mah...mah head...”
She screamed, wincing at the loudness of her own voice “ahhh! Whats...whats happenin' Ah cant think!” Her eyes darted round, trying to remember what she was doing, why was she here? She had absorbed to many people in too short a time, her powers were overwhelming her. She didn't have enough room in her head for all these thoughts. Her, her! the girl, it was all her fault! She let out a small growl as she thew herself at the youngster, making her intentions clear once more.

"Y'all deserves this kiddo"
She said angrily mid-pounce.

Logan didn't have time to play nice with Kitty, thanks or whatever was a moot point. He was saving her life, thanks enough he thought. He'd been able to save her from being grabbed by the woman but at the cost of something else. His skin had crawled with energy, but it was if it was being drawn out of him. He was recovering thanks in part to his mutant abilities to heal. He shook his head clearing his mind and focussing on the present.

The woman was not attacking atleast she was reeling back. Had Kitty phased into her at the last second? No and in anycase could it really have that effect on someone. What had happened was that the mystery woman had tried and failed now for what ever reason she was showing weakness. That was good for Logan, she started clutching at her head and this was the time for them to break for it.

Logan left the woman in her own madness, maybe that's all she was some nutter. Probably hooked up on pcp or something, it made people incredibly strong to the point of not feeling any pain and having crazed dilussions. Logan turned and gently pressed Kitty towards the bike, the law would eventually find that young lady and she would be the blame for the whole thing. Lookeed like Logan might get off scott free.

And then as happends the table turns, Logan heard the growl and was moving even as the girl leaped towards them. He didn't bother listening to her words and cocked the shot gun in one hand before slapping it into his other to cradle and pulled the trigger. It happened in a matter of seconds. The move was almost second nature to him, but the blast of smoke and the sound of gun fire awoke something in him. He looked on in shock as the shot splattered into the young woman she recoiled and hit the ground. "Kitty we gotta go now!"

He wasn't waiting for argument over shooting someone police present or not. He grabbed at the girl and dragged her to the bike. The engine was still warm and getting used to the abuse, it roared loud and Logan drove them the hell out of there. Next stop the mansion!
