Fleeing the Scene (Chamber, Penny, and Sofia)

Jono lead the way down the block, his steps speeding up as the vans pulled up in front of the Devil's Due. No, he most definatly did not want to get involved with the Avengers, not today. He just wanted to make sure the girl got home alright, then grab what little sleep he could before he had to go to work. He stuffed his hands in his pockets as

Sofia looked back briefly to see the vans pulling up to the shop, then quickened her pace as well. The last time she had dealt with the Avengers was when Wolverine had been under the control of HYDRA...

"It is," she replied, glancing at the buildings around them. She'd never been to New York before. Though it was hardly all of the city, it was nice to experience finally.

Her eyes widened suddenly as a thought came to her mind. "I need to call Ms. Collins!" All this time she had been worrying about Ms. Collins and she never thought to call her? She never used to be so oblivious to those things... "Is there a place I could call from? She is probably worried sick."

Jono dug into his pockets and came up with a couple of quarters. There's a payphone up ahead. he said, pointing to the phone booth as he pressed the quarters into Sofia's hand. I'll get the car while you make your call. Penny, you stay with her.

The red skinned mutant nodded.

Sofia nodded and, when he had left the two, started towards the phone booth. Looking down at the quarters in her hand, Sofia stood in front of the phone trying to figure exactly what she was going to tell Ms. Collins. If she was correct about her theory, she might already know of the random disappearances from Laurie. If this Dr. Sinesis was daring enough to take kids from New York City in midday, she would definantly take Xavier students that were out on the town

Penny regared Sofia solemnly, head tilted to one side. Slowly, she looked at the sky, then the girl, then the phone booth before shrugging her shoulders.

A car... and that was being nice about it... rumbled down the street like an old and unhappy god, little more than a collection of rust, primer, and duct tape. It looked like it was probably older than Sofia, and that it would fall apart in a stiff breeze. Penny turned towards the car and did something that was probably the closest equivilant of a sigh that she could produce.

The beast rolled to a stop in front of the girls, and Jono leaned out the window. It's safer than it looks, I promise. he said. Hop on in.

Penny pulled open the back door, which screamed in protest, and climbed inside.
