The twins followed Antimony off the jet and took a deep breath
Kale stepped out as well and turned to Veronica. "Why do you worry so much about how I feel, V?"
Veronica grinned sheepishly and flicked Kale's tentacles. "Because
you're the only man in the entire school that doesn't fall head over heels for our every whim."
Junior disembarked from the ship "I don't bow at your every whim ether..."
"Told you I am tough."
Kale grinned, amused at her comment.
Veronica looked back at Junior. "Oh I'm sure if I tried, you would, Junior dear." She winked at him and thought about flirting it up with the red skinned demon boy. She had to agree that the thought was rather intriqueing...
Kale looked at her for a moment before shaking his head and chuckled a little.
"-cough-slut-c
ough-hack," Antimony actually said, poking fun at Veronica. She set her hands on her hips and looked around. "So, this is London, is it?"
Junior scoffed at Veronica's comment with a "Nigga please."
The twins latched onto Antimony's arms as the gentlemen they are, "So bold....so beautiful."
"Oh come now." Kale shrugged.
Veronica winked to Junior. "Just you wait, Hellboy. Your time will come, maybe." She linked her arm around Kale's and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Hellion, not Hellboy." Junior corrected "besides, he prefers to go by HB... I know... I met him."
"Umm...hey there." Kale looked down at Veronica. He had to admit that she was very cute with her arm around him. However, he would never show it.
"Hey." Veronica said to him, flicking his tentacles again. She had been forever curious about their actual function since she met him.
Antimony laughed at the twins insistence on their gentlemen etiquette and smirked as Veronica once again attempted to seduce Kale with her wily ways.
Kale moved his head a little, to get her to stop touching his tentacles, "What are you doing?"
"What are they for?" Veronica asked him flat out. It was killing her for some reason.
"The better to amuse you with, my dear child." Kale quoted from Red Riding Hood. He ran his fingers through his messy, brown hair.
"Oh no...you're not going to eat me with those big teeth are you, Grandma Wolf?" Veronica asked him coyly.
Without a snicker, Kale asked, "Umm...but why are you latching onto my arm, babe?"
"Cuz....a big tough guy like you can protect me from whatever we run across." Veronica said, batting her eyelashes at him
"I'm not going to run away or anything....sooo...you don't haveta cling like this." Kale admitted in his Hawaiian tone.
"It's not my fault..." Veronica told him with a smirk on her face. "You're just too cute to let go."
"Yea...right." Kale raised a brow and shifted his arm away from his torso a little, separating them slightly.
Veronica pouted slightly and shrugged. She looked at his tentacles again. "Honestly though, are they just a fashion accessory or do they actually do something, Kale?"
Kale twitched his little tentacles on his face a little, "I guess they don't really DO anything."
"Oh. Well that's kinda boring." Veronica said truthfully. She smiled at him, "At least they look cute!"
Kale scowled a little, "They are very sensitive and can feel vibrations of sound, as well as absorb smell. Happy?" he said, somewhat annoyed with a shrug.
"Well! That's not exactly nothing, now is it?" Veronica countered, glaring at him. "No sneaking up on you. That's good stuff."
"Isn't there a reason we're here?" Eliza said, stepping down from jet "You know, coma kid?"
"I guess." Kale said plainly, flickering his tentacle a little.
Eliza began to walk towards the door on the other side of the helipad "Come on guys, or do I have to drag you along by those organs you're thinking with?"
Waya stepped out of the ship "Did you forget we're going for the stealthy approach. We wait for Rhydian, then shadow-port in."
Rhydian strolled down the ramp after completeing the landing procedures. "All parked and ready to fly at a single command. I suppose I should lock the doors though, yes?"
"Less for me to do," Antimony said, leaning on the twins. "Huzzah!" She grinned at Waya and winked, knowing her flirting back to the twins pissed her off to no end, just because Waya looked out for her.
Eliza came back from the door and sighed "Better that he ports us in anyway, It's a keypad door. Which room is the kid in then?"
The twins grabbed each of Antimony's arms and straightened them outwards. "Do you desire to be pampered?" They said in between kissing up her arm.
Junior raised his hand "You don;t want me teleporting us." He said "Fiery death and all that. I vote on Waya doing it."
Antimony gasped and giggled, blushing blue. She pulled away her arms so that she could still have a coherent thought to put forward for the group. "I second that," She said, still giggling a little. "I'm keeping tabs on the mansion. It makes me nervous leaving it alone, the times being what they are and all."
Jaden and Jayden smiled at seeing them achieve her beautiful, blushing cheeks.
"Then let us carry on." Jaden grabbed her hand and led her in the direction they were headed.
There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes as he caught up and snatched her other hand. "Yes, let me lead you."
Jaden looked at him oddly, but his brother ignored it.
Rhydian looked at Waya and smiled. "Time to go I'd say."
"WHERE!?" Eliza burst out, sighing in exasperation "Do we know what room this kid's in? Or are we going to just randomly port somewhere and make it from there?"
"Give me a second Eliza." Waya said and then added to the twins "Can you two be sereious for a damn minuet? Once we get back goof off all you want but while we're trying to help someone keep it in your pants. Geeze." Then with a sharp turn she put them both behind her. She concentrated, her eyes turning black for a moment. She was scanning the shadows threw out the hospital. A trick she'd learned a few months ago. "Thrid floor, room 129."
"Your 'port would be more accurate," Antimony said, grateful to her for helping her fend off the twins. She slipped her arms from their fingers, folding them behind her back.
The twins went behind her and started to bicker towards one another about Antimony, ignoring Waya's comment.
Eliza went to speak, but just blushed brightly and stared at the floor "Sorry... Waya" she mumbled.
Rhydian looked to Waya and smiled. "Ready to roll, Captain?" He asked her curiously. This was their first official mission and he knew that the stress must be getting to her
Kale had been quiet. He had been simply observing his surroundings.
"If you all are." Waya anwered and pulled evryone's shadows to her.
"Do it, babe." Kale placed his hands on his hips comfortably.
Junior put his arms round the twins shoulders and said "I think you two should come with me." He said with a smile "We don't want her loosing you two on accident in that shadow relm thing." He emphasized accident with quotes fingers.
The twins smirked, "Thanks. Perhaps she is intimitated by us?" They walked to the side with Jr.
Junior immediatly took his arms off the twins and shook his head as if he was innocent.
Waya glowered at the two of them and in a flicker of shadows enveloped the entire group including the twins and Junior and teleported them into the boy's room
"That works too." The twins added.
"Shhh." JUunior hissed and pointed at the door where the shadows of two guards could be seen threw teh glass.
"How are we getting passed them?" Rhydian asked Waya. She was in charge of the mission, but they sorta lacked any real plan
Eliza poked Rhydian hard in the ribs and pointed at the bed in the room, they didn't need to get passed the guards they were in the room already.
Jeremy lay in the bed, his hair was a translucent green and pooled around him. Even though he was covered by his hair and the hospital blankets you could tell he was almost totally skin and bone, his face gaunt and shadowed and for somereason his skin was tinted green. His eyes were closed and his mouth was wide open, a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the air.
The twins leaned over his body slightly before backing away, "Well he sure is ugly..."
"Oh come on, dudes." Kale stepped ahead and pushed them back a bit with his arm, "Knock it off."
Eliza had to fight back the urge to throw the Twins out the nearest window but growled softly instead "Kale, can you heal him? He looks like he's been attacked..."
Kale eyed him up, "Only one way to find out."
"Careful hon." Veronica said carefully as Kale was about to give it a shot. She was actualy concerned about the surfer.
Antimony gave a nervous glance back at the two guards and folded her arms, her fingers lengthening and shortening worriedly as she hugged herself. She watched anxiously.
Kale's index and middle finger started to glow bright white and red. Little sparks fizzed out of them like a sparkler. He rested each finger on one of the patient's eyes, going through the optic channel was the quickest way to get to the brain. His other hand pressed onto his chest, sparks flew out as well.
Jeremy was still for a second before stirring slowly, his eyes half opening. Suddenly they shot open though, revealing them to be totally red with not whites or irisis. He sat bolt up right and with a huge ratteling cough spread ash and cigarette butts over his bed sheets. "Oh I hate the nurses" he spluttered, his voice weak from lack of use.
Kale removed his fingers and stepped back. Turning his head a little to the group behind him, yet keeping his focus on the patient, he asked,d "I thought you said this guy was in a coma?"
"I was" Jeremy coughed, another cloud of cigarette ash coming from his mouth "But... I kinda watch things from outside my body."
"Ah..I see...mutant." Kale concluded, waving his hand as if brushing a thought away. "Come on brah, let's get you outta here." He swung his arm around his back to help him walk.
Jeremy blinked a few times, coughing wheezily again as he shifted his thin legs out of bed "Ah hell. They hate mutants here." He went to put his hand on Kale's shoulder and almost gutted him with foot long nails. "Sorry.." he muttered, putting his hand on Kale carefuly and stood up shakily.
The twins went to Jeremy's other side and assisted Kale, "So...what's your name?" they asked together.
"Jeremy. Jeremy Marks" Jeremy said, his finger nails clacking together. He groaned and felt his throat with the palm of his hand "Uh... the guys at the door protect me against most stuff but they didn't know that the nurses were using me as an ashtray."
"Do I smell...lawsuit?" Jaden offered.
"lets ust get the hell out of here before thse guards decide to check out why a comatose patient is talking to a group of people." Waya hissed
"Then port us, beautiful." the twins came back.
"Moment I take the sensors off they'll know I'm not here..." Jeremy said, looking down at himself and the wires leading from the pads on his chest.
Eliza couldn't help but stare at the new boy. He was... spooky. His red eyes and greenish skin reminded her of the things she used to imagine under her bed.
"I think I can help with that, Jeremy." Rhydian said, finally gathering the courage to speak up. He reached out with his powers and brought the sensors to life. He made sure to give them just enough of a spark that they'd continue to read that there was someone there. "You can take them off now. They won't beep or anything. As far as they're concerned, you're still going tob e attached to them."
Antimony nodded her assent to the twins and with a flick of her hand opened a portal to just outside the jet waiting for them. She stepped back from it and widened it between her fingers, like she was framing an imaginary picture to take a photo. "Step on through," She instructed. "Let's take a little shortcut, eh?" She joked for Jeremy.
Jeremy laughed softly, his breathing much more settled now. He began to walk forward as best he could, his thin legs not shaking but he was worried that the wind out there was strong. What was worse was he was surrounded by alot of beautiful girls and this hospital gown wasn't the best thing to wear for discretion.
The twins and Kale helped Jeremy step through the portal and into the jet. "Sit here." he said, directing him to a ledge behind the regular Xmen seats. This way, if he wanted, Jeremy could lay down.
Jeremy cracked his neck loudly and grinned "wanted to do that for days.." He sat down and leant against the back wall, keeping his legs crossed.
Eliza went threw the portal and sat down in her seat. Seems ok she thought to herself.
The twins took their seats and smiled at Antimony, "Thank you darling."
"You still need to be healing, brah?" Kale asked in his usual Hawaiian accent.
"Na" Jeremy sighed, laying down on the bench "If It gets too bad I'll just leave."
"Got parents?" Kale asked.
Jeremy froze up for a second, facing away from the others as he lay on the bench. After a second he just gave a loud obviously fake snore, his eyes clamped shut.
"Woa. Nevermind man." Kale hit his back softly.
Kale could feel Jeremy's bones as he hit him, his skin so tight on him. He curled up tighter, letting out another false snore.
"Dang, let's get you some food." Kale said rummaging through the cabinets of the jet. "I'm sure we have something in here..."
Eliza looked around at Jeremy, wondering if he was ok. Why was he in a coma anyway?
Outside the guards could be seen threw the window. They parted making way for what ppeared to be a nurse.
"We should really be going." Waya whispered and pulled everyone's shadows to her, teleporting them to The Blackbird-x
