Hide and Seek

[Jacky]

The street was empty. Far too empty for a friday afternoon. It seemed like everyone, mutant and human, was relunctant to show a face outside today.
Logan wasn't surprised by it. Things had gotten more seriously since two weeks, when the police and army squads which were assigned for tracking down mutants were equiped with a new 'weapon'. A little device they could aim at a person, which would scan for the X-gene in three seconds, finding out whether someone was mutant or not. Since those two weeks that had been more arrests and executions in total than in the two months before it. No wonder the streets were empty. Who would want to go out in a warzone?
Logan wouldn't have gone out here himself either, but he was looking for someone.

After the fight on Alcatraz, when things had gotten crazy around the mutant-mania, Storm had revoked Xavier's school for the gifted. Of course. If she hadn't, the army would've come to take all of the mutants living there down by themselves.
Most of the kids had gone home to their parents or whatever. Only a few of them sticked together. Logan had left too. for about a month. But he'd met up with some of his former collegues (Rogue, Bobby and Collosus) about a week ago.
Rumour had it there was another part of the old X-Men team in this town though. And he was looking for them, whoever they were.
He figured.. Maybe it was time to get some forces back together and face the facts.

Storm slowly paced through her room, looking out of the window when she heard a sound, down deep on the streets bellow her. Her appartment was small but suficient and it would do for the time that she had to stay here. Her thoughts were often with the children which she had sent home. At times she got a message from some of them and not all of the messages were good. Some of them told about that people around them had been arrested and even twice she got a letter from a student saying another student had been arrested..
Storm hadn't slept well in nights, worried about the kids and her friend. The sounds bellow her on the street got louder for a while, before someone knocked hard onto her door.

[Jacky]

Logan kept close to the shadows as he walked down the almost deserted street. Not that it would help much, though. He turned another corner. The worst part was, he wasn't even sure what he was looking for. It's not like there would be a sign of life out here.
He came to face the fact that he was wrong about that. Down the street he spotted a group of about six men -dressed in uniform- walking over to a building. One of them pounded on the door hard, shouting something.
Logan sank back into the shadows behind a tree nearby, observing the group without being obviously in sight. He knew what was going on, he'd seen a scene like this before. The group was out there to arrest someone.
Logan narrowed his eyes, almost holding his breath, watching..

Storm turned towards the door and swallowed. Time to leave.. it was surely sooner than she thought it would have been. She walked to the window, while quickly changhing her clothes. She had been wearing normal human clothes to make sure she wouldnt attract too much attention, but apparently she failed somewhere. She put on her x-men suit which she had always in a bag close to her. She put it on and the moment the door burst open she was already out of the window, flying on the wind.

[Jacky]

The door gave in to the weight of two of the men who put their shoulders against it. The second it caved in though, Logan's eyes darted to the second floor. From the window a slim figure emerged, seeming to drift on the air. He could recognize her, even from this distance. Storm.

The men in uniform realized the place was empty almost immediately, and after some shouting which Logan could hear clearly (as if they were less than a metre from him), they ran outside and aimed guns into the air. Their orders were clear: catch or if necessary, kill.

Logan didn't have time to check whether Storm was aware of the weapons aimed at her - so he decided she could use a distraction regardless. He pushed himself away from the tree, and into the line of sight. He was hoping he could expect backup too if Storm turned to look.
"Hey!" He demanded the officers attention, "Pick on someone your own size, would ya?"

[Hannah]

Storm was aware of the men who were trying to aim guns at her because it was hard not hear their shouts. However, when she heard a familiar voice she turned around in the air and spotted Logan bellow her. She couldnt believe her eyes at first because she had certainly not expected to see him here now.
She did not have much time to wonder where he came from all of the sudden though because some of the men now turned their guns at Logan.

[Jacky]

Logan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his gaze wandering to where Storm was hovering a few metres above the ground. He met her gaze for half a second, before his attention was drawn back abruptly when one of the officers took the safety pin from his weapon. He could hear the 'click' rather loudly.
Logan frowned. "Storm.. this would be a good time for one of the self-made tornado's of yours." He hinted.

[Hannah]

"Oh really.." Storm snickered softly and the next second the men flew around in the air, while a tornado was going through the street.
"How about we get out of here?" i ask Logan and turn towards the end of the street

[Jacky]

Logan nodded. In no time there would be back-up for sure, so it was about time they got a move on. Storm would be fastest through the air, so Logan turned in the direction she was turned and ran after her.

[Hannah]

Before they reached the end of the street though, it was full with police officers and people of the army. Storm looked down to see where Logan iwas, but he is still some way behind her. For now it seems that she was on her own. Her eyes turned white and the sky turned dark when she released her powers.
