Soon, Adam comes running up to us, followed by Peter.

"Hey, guys," Felix greets them slaming his fist into a Shadow. Smooth.

"Hey. This is the hardware store, right?" Peter asks me. "Because Adam and I just ran all around this street."

"Yeah, it's the hardware store," I inform them, and Adam nods, exhaling deeply.

"Alright, are we the only people here?" Adam asks us.

"So far," I reply. And then, Skylor and Kat run out of the smoke.

"That's two more," Felix mutters, keeping track.

"Hey, Kat. Glad your not dead," I wave to her, joking around. She comes up to my and softly slugs me in the side.

"Dork," she calls me and steps back.

"Geek," I mutter back, but I don't think she hears it.

"Aaron! Aaron!" I hear Joey's voice through the smoke.

"Yeah?" I hear Aaron respond from up higher in the smoke. He's probably on his dragon.

"Guys, we're over here!" Felix calls out. Then, Joey stumbles into view, Nicks left arm slung over his neck. I look over at his right arm and see a huge gash in his forearm. It's bleeding crazily, blood all over his armor, Joey's armor, and all over Nick's face, too.

Aaron then flies down from the smoke riding Ratchet. He lands on the ground and gets off of him.

"All of the dragons are taking cover in a bar a few blocks away," he informs us.

"Okay, good," I say, nodding. Joey gets to us and I help carry Nick supporting his right side, being carful of the gash in his arm.

"Nick needs some kind of medicine for his arm," Skylor tells Aaron, looking at the cut.

"Can do," Aaron assures us, opening up a pocket in his belt. He takes out a roll of bandages and a syringe. He goes up to Nick and inserts the needle in his arm and holds it there for a few seconds. Then he takes it out and immediately wraps the whole gash in bandages.

Then, Nick's eyes open wide, as if wide awake. He then lets go of Joey and I and stands on his own.

"Alright, thanks for the help guys," Nick thanks us and Joey, Aaron and I all say something along the lines of 'yeah, no problem."

Once that's all taken care of, we all wait for the rest of the X-Team to show up, and when they do, we all head to the robot again.
