"Great, let me get my bag," Natalia responded, agreeing to the offer. She stepped away, pouring coffee for a customer at a separate table. Elena felt the anxiety creeping up her arms, mentally urging the other woman to hurry up. As unnatural as it was for her, Elena didn't dare say anything out loud, in case it would compromise whether or not they would get a ride at all.
Elena registered someone opening the diner door, paying it no mind until she heard a shout. "Hey! You two there, what are you doing out here?"
"Shit," Dante cussed through his teeth, just as Elena muttered out a "fuck."
Avery stared at the two approaching men, his gaze traveling back to the two teenagers in confusion. He made a sharp noise of indignation when the teenage boy grabbed his wrist, effectively pulling Avery out of his seat.
"Yeah, we need go to - now," the boy emphasized the last word. He immediately started running towards the waitress.
"Hey - at least let me get my homework!" Avery exclaimed.
Elena rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine!" she muttered, dashing back to the table. Avery winced at the harsh manner in which she shoved his papers into his backpack; he supposed he couldn't be picky at such a time. Elena slung the backpack over her shoulder, following Dante, who ran up to Natalia and shoved her forward. "Watch it!" The shriek was followed by the shattering of glass, but Elena couldn't care less about that. The commotion wasn't ideal, but there wasn't anything they could do about it.
"I need to get my keys," Natalia told the group once they all arrived in the kitchen. Dante nodded briskly, and Elena tossed the backpack over to Avery, who fumbled slightly before catching it and putting it on. Unfortunately, right at the moment, the scientists burst through the kitchen doors.
Elena whipped around, facing the cook who practically had his jaw on the ground. "So sorry," she said. "You might wanna leave though." The cook nodded, dazed, as he ran out of the kitchen. As soon as he did so, Elena turned around, blocking a punch at the last second. Unfortunately for her, Elena's photokinesis was nowhere near as strong as she'd like in order to use it in combat, but she was in a kitchen; there were weapons everywhere.
Therefore, Elena did the thing that was most logical to her: she grabbed a heated pan off the stove, and swung it wildly at the scientist's face. Her first attempt didn't manage to injure the scientist, but Elena continued to swing the pan with little coordination. She did a small, rather unnecessary victory dance when the scientist collapsed, an expression of shock frozen on his face. Elena hit the scientist in the head a last time, just for good measure - she could sense Avery staring at the scene in shock from a few feet behind her.
Meanwhile, Elena saw Dante and Natalia finish off the other scientist. She also checked on Avery, who still looked slightly shaken up, but ready-to-go for the most part.
"So," Elena proposed lightly, "shall we leave?"
