[astonishing_xmods]

Who: The Sick and the doctors
What: The sick plan an escape to search for a cure before it kills Nightcrawler
Where: Medical Quarantine and the docks
Warnings: Violence
Notes: Part one of the series

[It's nighttime on the 22nd, the plot is set, the day has come. It was finally time to break out, to find answers. To find a cure. They wouldn't find anything sitting here. Henry had found nothing while Kurt was getting worse, his flesh beginning to turn from blue to a boiling shade of red. He had know he didn't have much time. He knew it would take a miracle to survive much longer.

Lying in his medical bed with Flik next to him his tail flicks to the side, giving the signal that it was time to begin.

Seconds later, Flik charges straight for Zancrow, screaming at the top of his lungs and as soon as he does, Kurt bamfs from his table, appearing right next to the first person he's getting ready to teleport out.]

THE BOAT

[astonishing_xmods]

[Warm up the boat, get comfortable as Wolverine is here to help with the escape seeing as how his best friend is dying and you know him and rules]

Re: THE BOAT

[legendarybub]

[Wolverine is standing leaning against the railing of the boat when Nightcrawler brings you in. Relaxed, hiding the fear he has for his best friend he just nods towards the door to the lower decks as he holds a small black box in his hands]

Get down and find any locators you can find.

Re: THE BOAT

[endurancepoint]

Right. Don't want them tracking us before we can even get out to sea. They all look like that?

[He points at the black box in Wolverine's hands. It's easier to find something if you know what it looks like.]

Re: THE BOAT

[legendarybub]

They should. Any electronics that send a signal too. Collect em, don't destroy em till we 're ready to leave.

Re: THE BOAT

[endurancepoint]

[Alex glances around the deck of the boat, trying to eyeball the size.]

Radios, cell phones, anything with a GPS... aside from the on-board nav. I'll see what I can find.

[martyrerkomplex]

Did you check above deck already?

[legendarybub]

[Logan looks at her—then shrugs, still holding the box. Someone with smaller hands wouldn't hurt for this.]

Double check. Electronics, too. I don't want to miss any of them.

[martyrerkomplex]

[She does have itty-bitty little hands. She's kind of itty-bitty over all.]

Yes, sir. Any kind of electronics, or...?

[She's already getting started on going over the upper deck again, checking inside and underneath of things.]

Re: THE BOAT

[knowledgeandshadow]

Of course. Anything I should look out for?

[She's looking at the device in his hands.]

[legendarybub]

Radiobeacons; they're either as big as a box of cigarettes or a book and will have orange markers on 'em. Should be easy to see.

[Logan hefts the black box for her to look at; aside from the color, it's a fairly standard voyage recorder, with a GPS locator bundled with it.]

Things like this one are sneakier; they're to keep the boat from getting stolen so easy. Bring whatever you find this way.

One of the clones hesitated, then approached him, swallowing hard. She didn't want to die. She didn't. But she had to do the right thing. Eli was a good girl, and brave. So she had to be brave and good.

"Um... sir?" she asked softly, "What about me?"

OPEN

[martyrerkomplex]

[As soon as she was on the boat, Krista's first priority was the other escaped patients. She approached just about everyone sooner or later, carrying blankets or water.]

Are you holding up alright?

[friendofdorothy]

"I'm supposed to be this color." He said, assuming she was approaching him because of his green flush. He was still a little feverish. "Thanks." He took a water bottle and gulped it.

[martyrerkomplex]

"Not quite that color," she answered, sitting down beside him and giving him a small, gentle smile. "How are you feeling, Liir?"

[friendofdorothy]

He looked at her through the corner of his eye, then out at the horizon, squinting as if danger might coalesce out of the fog.

"Unsure if what we're doing is right. This is risky. If Mister Wagner's wrong about this..."

If he was, they'd exposed more people to the disease for no gain.

[long_live_the_queen]

[Almost as soon as Kurt had dropped her off, she shuffled to the nearest unused set of stairs leading to the wheelhouse and plonked herself down on the stairs, half-curled over, fingers pressed to her temples and eyes squeezed tightly shut.

Flipping between one mindset and another more identical but in denial one was surprisingly stressful on the mind, as it turned out.

She didn't notice Krista approach or hear her words either, entirely occupied with what seemed like two presences trying to fit into the same small space between her horns at once.]

[martyrerkomplex]

[Whatever was going on there, it didn't look good. Hopefully, there wasn't a third personality in there to introduce herself to.]

[Krista reached out to touch her arm, trying to get her attention. After a moment's thought, she reached out towards her mind, trying to give her some measure of calm -- though she wasn't sure which of them that was likely to reach.]

[long_live_the_queen]

[That mental poke did something different this time. Her mind recoils, then redoubles on itself to chase out an intruder-

-Krista?

And the bluish shadows in her mind splintered, turning over into bristling red. A more Kaede-like color.

Her back stiffens, she lifts her head, and at the top of her lungs shouts-]

-FUCK!

[Oh. Apparently Kaede was back.]

...ugh.

[And her head really goddamn hurt ow ow ow.]

Re: OPEN

[eileaneathompson]

The Eli clone ran to her as soon as she found her. "How can I help you? Shouldn't you be resting?"

[martyrerkomplex]

"No, no, it's alright. I'll feel better if I know everyone is being taken care of."

Re: THE BOAT

[diabhal_beag]

[As Carlyn gets onto the boat, she's walking, and she's moving right for a corner of the deck, out of the immediate way. She figures Wolverine has several students looking for trackers already.]

... No bugs on the bag. Logan's got the boat. That leaves Cerebro, and the Professor calling for SHIELD's help.

No safehouses, no tools... Just pure craftwork.

Not my idea of a fun outing, but it'll have to do.

OPEN

[bluerebellion]

[As soon as Flik and Zancrow appear on the ship of the deck he collapses into a heap on the floor, bloody and bruised from the experience but still with a bit of a smile cracked across his face. They made it, they would be able to get out, he wouldn't have to die here.]

Fucker packs a punch

[he's just sort of limply sitting against the side of the boat with his head leaned on the railing,]

Everyone is out yes?

[long_live_the_queen]

After she has...woken up, she supposed, Kaede went looking more deliberately for Liir, rather than wandering aimlessly. The movement of the deck while the boat rocked in the water was minor, she supposed, but it was still enough to make her nearly trip and grumble each time. She even tried to grab onto a bar of railing once, and was rewarded with a ripping headache.

Being sick was wonderful.

[friendofdorothy]

Liir was on the deck, brooding of course. Sea and moon make for good brood-props. Seeing Kaede wobble up tho, he went to awkwardly offer himself for support. This wasn't boding well for their success.

[long_live_the_queen]

There he was. Kaede didn't try to grumpily shuffle away from Liir, this time. She was actually fairly grateful for the help, since it meant she didn't have to use her vectors.

"You got here fine, then?"
