The car made one last, pathetic effort to start up before it broke down for good. It at least had the decency to break down in a place that didn't immediately spell out death. In every direction she looked she saw nothing but fog, empty land and some sheep here or there. Not the sight she was hoping for, but definitely an improvement from what she had seen prior. She grabbed her bag from the passenger seat slung over her shoulder before she threw herself against the jammed driver door until she forced it open and stepped outside of the car. Mud squished beneath her feet and cold air greeted her already chilled skin. She placed her hands in the pockets of her XL pullover and felt around until her fingers curled around the small flashlight she kept with her. She kept a tight grip on it and began to walk off, her boots sunk into the muck with each weary step. After a few steps, she stopped to look back and glance at the car. The spider-web cracks in the windshield and the bullet holes in the doors made her feel almost solemn. While being present in the car as it was shot at wasn't a memory she would treasure, the rusty old Jeep was the closet thing she had to a home in a long time. She remained still and watched the car until the thickening blanket of fog had covered it completely. It was gone.
She kept moving.

Elaine took a deep breath and shifted awkwardly while gazing around at the people around her. She pouted at not having any new clothes to change into. The mute seemed busy and Rebecca seemed busy with a search. The flying girl entertained her and she wanted to get to know her more under other circumstances, as well as the siblings. Right now there was a scaly mutant causing her to keep distance, she spoke carefully "So how are you? Were you training outside? Are you an x-man?" gazing around she asked again just as carefully "Are any of you x-men? I'm not," she laughed awkwardly. "I'm just Elaine...From America."

Neema shifted her bag on her shoulder as she trekked through the field, her ears alert and her eyes peeled. At the rate she was going, the stress ulcer she'd give herself would kill her before anything out here in the field did. Just as she thought that, she suddenly found herself falling forward few feet and then landing flat on her stomach. She rolled over onto her back and found that she was at the mouth of what appeared to be a tunnel. She stood to her feet and glanced around, finding nothing else but more flat land. She looked back at the tunnel and contemplated if she should go down.

Rachelle smiled as she read what the male was signing. "Ah don't worry. It's not like this is all your responsibility. I mean, if we work together, im sure we can turn this place around in no time~." She said before landing next to Morgan. "Hmm X-Men. Oh yeah~ i remember them. So this is their HQ hm?.... Pretty cool." She said while shrugging. "I guess we could train. Don't want anyone getting lazy!"

Elaine suddenly flinched and lifted her chin as if someone had pulled her hair. Her eyes turned white and she spoke frantically "Someone entered, M-Morgan! Flicker, there's someone at the entrance," she dropped her jacket and held her hands out to keep balance. Her sight was gone and she strived to keep her body still. "I can't see- I mean, I can't see who she...is," she thought it most important to tell about the girl rather than her missing eye sight. Normally Elaine would not have sensed the girl right now, but the fall she'd made at the entrance had made her shoot right into the empath's mind.

Flicker looked up at Rachelle and then signed, smiling "Yeah. I'm sure we can. I'd love to-" He cut off his signing, hearing Elaine in a panic. Flicker rose his brow and he got up from the table, slipping out another portal next to the hallway like before and staring over at the door. He was still thinking about the white eyes that were shown instead of Elaine's soft brown ones. He opened it all the way this time, tilting his head at the lady as he signed, "Mutant or Human?"

Rebecca sat down on the bed. The X-men, she heard someone say. The X-men were mutants. Her parents had been ShadowCat and Iceman. So that means I'm not normal..., Rebecca thought.

By now Elaine had been exposed to too much pressure and not only did her sight go, she could no longer hear or taste. With her numb body she made to sit down on the floor and she could more strongly feel the cold concrete and the surroundings of the people around her. She felt more like a floating molecule than a humanoid. She saw Rebecca's confuse and distress while calling out for Morgan and her own growling belly were like an earthquake to her inner ears. Her white eyes stared at Rebecca.

Rebecca waited then looked at Elaine. "What happened to you?" She asked, walking over to her and looking at her eyes. "Elaine, tell me what happened to you." when she didn't answer Rebecca said "Elaine, can you hear me? Can you see or hear me at all?"

"Mutant or human"
Neema thought about the question. There were really others like her? She was pretty sure humans didn't have the ability to create portals as this man had. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She was too excited to sign back to the man. A lone, rejoicing tear slipped from her eye and a small smile, the first in a long time, formed on her face. "Mutant." she replied. "Is this place safe?"

Morgan turned his head at the commotion and then held his finger up at the woman outside, as to tell her one moment and smiling nervously. He slammed the door and ran over to the scene, dismantling the portal next to the hallway. He looked over to Elaine and stared trying to figure out what he could possibly do. Due to the lack of communication that Elaine gave to us, she seemed to have lost her senses. Morgan picked her up gently and took her to lie down on a bed.
She signed at everyone in the room and stated, "She overloaded herself somehow... I think she needs to rest. Until then no one make contact with her, please?" I waited for everyone's response and then headed back to the door opening it and signing, "Sorry, come on in, make yourself at home."

"Hey, Morgan, how do I figure out what my mutant powers are?" Rebecca asked him, walking over to him. She was still worried about Elaine and still confused about her being not a human.

Elaine grabbed Rebecca's arm in blindness and tried to talk, but her throat was clenched. As Morgan closed in she hummed displeased "Mm," and strived to talk. When being carried however she stuttered "Girl needs help," and she moved her hand in the newly arrived mutant's direction. She was pleased that Flicker once again went over to the new girl and she relaxed on the bed.

Rachelle gasped as she floated towards where everyone was. She held her head and yelled slighlty. "Ah!" She said while seeing the other girl. She then paniced slightly while seeing the other going through a struggle of some sort. "Oh no! This parties getting mad nuts guys!" She said before laughing nervously. "So uh.... No ones ever like... Died here right?.... Right?"

While it was rather bad timing that an unconscious woman was bought over right after she asked whether or not this was a safe place, Neema was in no place to pick and chose where she took refuge. Besides, the residents seemed nice enough and they were all mutants from what she was able to gather thus far. She couldn't turn this down. She nodded to signing man. "Thank you." To interact with another human was now quite alien to her after so much time on her own. She wasn't even sure she knew how to talk to another person. She shouldered her bag and followed the man inside, already feeling safer and more at peace as she entered the bunker.

Elaine closed her eyes and smiled at the flying girl. A relieved sigh left her lips when Neema was at ease. She sat up dizzily in the bed and held a hand onto her roaring belly. She moaned and looked around instinctively for food with weary eyes. "Excuse me, do you have any potato chips?" she didn't dare ask for more than the slightest. "Water," she sighed and her mind twirled.

Rebecca sat down in front of a mirror on the wall. She was thinking of her parents, and how much she wanted to be like them. She concentrated hard on the thought of being her mother. She closed her eyes. Then she opened them and looked in the mirror. She looked exactly like her mother now. Then she concentrated on her father and looked at the mirror. Then sitting in her spot was her father in the mirror. "I'm a shapeshifter" Rebecca whispered.

Neema unshouldered her bag and let it slide onto the floor. "Chips...chips.." she repeated to herself. She opened the bag and started to maneuver around. The was decorated with My Little Pony stickers. Half of it was just flashlights and batteries. The rest, your average, run of the mill "Mutant on the run supplies," she handed the girl a bottle water and a small bag of chips. "So what is this place?"

"This is a boarding school for mutants" Rebecca said, walking over to the new girl. "I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Pryde, daughter of Kitty and Bobby Pryde, also known as ShadowCat and Iceman"

Elaine's sight was still blurry, and when being handed the chips and the water she softly said "Thank you," and started on the bottle after a fumbling fail at the bag. The bag fell to the floor while the girl drank non stop, filing herself with the old, but clean water. She blinked repeatedly to gain her sight back.

Leading the signing girl inside, Morgan smiled exceptionally largely to see that another person knew how to sign as well as he did. He walked over to see the rest of the people in the room and signed to Rachelle, "No... well... Not yet..". He paused and then continued on signing, "I'm Flicker. I'll let you guys get acquainted I'm just going to..." He stuttered in the bit of his signing, looking around the room for Cyrus and that... other mutant. "Where could they have gone?" He threw a portal out down the hallway where he last saw them and placed another beside him. He sprinted through the sparking portal and appeared on the other end of the hallway, seeing the two, Cyrus moving mechanical arachnids around the halls.
Morgan tapped on the wall beside him to get their attention and then signed to Cyrus, "What are you doing?"

Neema picked up the back and handed to the girl as she nodded to Rebecca. "I am Neema Okonkwo. And you say this is a school?

"It is a place that takes in mutants. Anyone can live here. People my age, 17, or younger, can be homeschooled here. Watch this" Rebecca nodded and smiled, shapeshifting to a replica of Neema. "Cool huh?"

Neema jumped when the girl shaped shifted. It wasn't the fact that she had been able to do it that shocked her, but what she saw when she looked at herself. Dark bags hung under tired eyes. Eyes that didn't belong to the person she was two years ago. She managed a small smile for the girl. "Yes, very impressive."
