It's shadowcat * she checks the lobby before running up the stairs as a man jumps down and grabs her she is hit into a wall as she breaks out of his lock and slamming her gun into his head before darting him, she makes her way up darting 3 other MRD soldiers as they fall down the stairs as she makes her way to the first floor holding her gun as she kicks the first door open*// Kitty- is anyone here? my name is shadowcat and I'm here to get you outta here * the room is empty as she kicks open the whole hallway while also taking down gaurds without her powers * she clears the first floor as she finds a woman on her knees crying with her hands up*// Kitty- hey it's okay I'm a mutant just like you.

I get these looks often// Kitty- no sorry I'm not judging you * she sighs* I.. I know this isn't ideal for you to be pregnant in this situation. it's taken me back a bit your age because I could not step up as much as you have at that age, at that age I had very bad things happening so it's nice to see someone so brave and strong going for what they want * the girl smiles* just because you're a young mom doesn't mean you're a bad mom * the girl has tears in her eyes* we'll keep you in mind about your due date and we're all here to keep you and the baby safe. so just stay calm as best you can and leave the rest up to us okay?// Lilly- thank you// Kitty- if you get anymore pains or they get worse or you think you're in labor then you just let me know okay// Lilly- thank you shadowcat * she nods and walks up to a nurse*// Kitty- hey can you check over the expecting mother just to make sure she's not in labor and then just let me know * the nurse nods as Kitty walks back to her seat and drinks her water deep in thought before everyone goes to a back room*// Warpath- so what's the plan// Banshee- I say we make a run for it, if we charge right into town through the sentinels and the soldiers and we fight best as we can// Erik- might I suggest that we send a team in to clear a path and then take the vunerable once it is clear// Kitty- if we attack then we'll give up our strategey and location, we got a newborn, an expecting teenager, children and elderley here aswell as wounded// Dazzler- there is always the bus idea// Boom boom- bus idea?// Dazzler- I said to get a bus to put everyone on and we phase right out of this place// Erik- and where are we gonna get a bus?// Dazzler-bus station is 3 hours away// Erik- and what if the bus's are not working and we wasted a trip and time?// Boom- okay so we wait until night so we have that as a cover// Kitty- exactly, that's the only way we are gonna smuggle everyone out of this town and still stay as a group, we're greater in numbers but that leaves us prone to sentinels attacks cue Magneto// erik- you're mad if you think we can make it through the city with darts and guns// banshee- unless we are untouchable * he looks at kitty who's arms are crossed and one hands on her face*// Kitty- what?// Erik- I'm not following// Banshee- we phase as a group// Kitty- you're kidding me right? I've struggled to phase large objects for a few minutes and you think I can phase our group for hours// Banshee- just through the large parts, if Magneto can hold of the sentinels then we can make track across town// Warpath- we're gonna be blind// Kitty- and we can use that to our advanatage, you know everyone has to be touching for me to phase people and I can only do it for a couple minutes, that's gonna drain a big chunk of my energy// Warpath- so long as we keep the babies and kids silent we can make tracks, a group of our skilled fighters can guide everyone// banshee- not all the time, when we need it// Erik- it's crazy enough to work// Kitty- yeah put it on me, what if I can't do it// Dazzler- you can try, that's all we can do // Kitty- and if I fail I kill everyone here* she rests her hands on the table sighing as she looks at everyone * fine yeah let's do it. Sean you can go ahead and tell them * kitty walks out of the meeting room as she walks outside the newborn is crying as kitty walks over*// Kitty- how are you feeling?// Pixie- I'm tired but I'm a lot better than I was yesterday * the baby is still screaming as Kitty looks at the people giving looks at them and Kitty sighs*// Kitty- what's wrong with him?// Pixie- I'm not sure, he's been on and off crying and I can't seem to cansole him// Kitty- unsettled/// Pixie- could be... I dunno * Kitty shushes the baby but he continues to cry* I guess I'm a little tense and sleep deprived, I have fed him so he should settle// Kitty- try feeding him a little more on the boob and see if that settles him. you've just given birth it's hard to keep active while everything is still healing * Banshee comes in and tells everyone the plan as they all agree to try and get some rest and be packed ready*// * the baby is still crying*// Kitty- you rest and I'll take care of the baby// Pixie- no I can't ... it wouldn't br right// Kitty- we're about to go out in a battle with this little boy he needs his mother fully rested and we need him settled so let me see what I can do while you get some rest. I promise you that he is gonna be safe with me * the woman nods*// pixie- okay, thank you. if he does not settle wake me up and I'll do my best.// Kitty- you already are * pixie looks at Kitty with a look of grattitude as she hands the blankets and the baby to Kitty as she fastens the baby to her chest shushing him and she walks around to the back room*// Kitty- looks like mama is a little tired so you got me on auntie duties * kitty is stroaking his head shushing him and holding him tight* but that's okay becaus I think I'd be the best auntie but not a mom... and you you're born in this chaotic cruel world but you are gonna have a choice to be kind and to help people, because the smallest amount of kindness goes a long way and we can heal this bad wolrd one selfless act at a time huh * kitty looks down at him as he is settling* yeah, are you gonna have a kind heart, course you are. you got the whole wolrd in you hand. mutant or human the world just needs change good change and that starts with one person doesnt it * kitty is getting emotional* and you got a good mom too, you're one of the lucky ones huh? because when we get to where we need to be you got your mommy fighting in your corner so you got it good buddy. rought starts are nothing, it's the comeback that matters * Kitty looks down to see the baby asleep* yeah trauma doesn't define you does it? * she takes in his little features and her heart hurts thinking about her having kids one day*// dazzler- cute when they little huh// * kitty jumps and turns* you're a natural ain't you// Kitty- ha! no, are you all set// dazzler- yep jus wait until night fall * kitty nods* how we gonna do this * kitty meets her gaze and freezes*// Kitty- I dunno, I don't have the answers// Dazzler- part of the job is just pretending isn't it// Kitty- pretty much yeah// Dazzler- do you know where we are going to be evacuated too?// Kitty- sheild safe houses and the Pr said we can accomidate a couple in the school for gifted youngsters// Dazzler- and become an x-man, yeah I'm good// Kitty- don't knock it until you try it, we got a great team// Dazzler- I can see that
