"Emergency personnel is still...At Harrah's Casino and Hotel in Oklahoma City where at least 400 guest was striken with temporary paralysis yesterday. Many are noting a similarity to the Westchester incident over a year ago that left over 600 injured... And took the lives of seven mutants including several of the X..." the radio on the truck said but I lean forward and turn it off. I sighed as I lean back then I hear a noise in the back seat.

I turn around and see Laura pushing the window button, making the window roll up and down. "Knock it off." I said but she looks at me and still pushes the button. "She said knock it off!" Logan yells at her. "She's a child, Logan." Charles said and I sighed and started rubbing my eyes. "And as far as fact, She is your..." Charles said but I talk over him. "How long did you recently take your meds?" I asked him.
Silence.

"Tell us, how long has it been?" Logan asked. "I don't know!" Charles replied then he mutters to himself for a moment then said. "Two days."

"You saw what happened yesterday. That shit can't go on any longer..." Logan said. "I did what I had to do to save Laura." Charles said. "You didn't do anything. You'd just freaked out and had a fucking seizure." Logan growls. "I think you and (y/n) prefer me as pharmaceutically castrated, rambling on like a lunatic. So much easier for you two." Charles said. "Easier? Jesus!" I exclaimed, exasperated. "There is nothing easy about you, Charles, nothing!" Logan said.

"Yes, yes, be like the rest of the world, blaming someone else for your boring shit." Charles said. "I know, Pop, I'm a giant disappointed." Logan grumbles. "You two honestly derive no sense of purpose from what we're doing?" Charles asked. "Okay, what are we doing? Hmm?" I asked him. "There is a young mutant sitting in our car." He said.

"Yeah, we see that." Logan and I said in unison.

"And where we're taking her, there are others. Does that mean nothing to you two?" Charles asked. "Uh yeah, yeah it means nothing to me." Logan said. "Same here. Especially since that Nurse Gabriela made all that Eden shit up from fucking comic books." I said. "What are you talking about?" Charles asked and I rolled my eyes and grab the pill bottles and pulled out two pills.

"Here take these." I said to Charles as I turn in my seat and hold out the pills. "(Y/n)...(y/n)." Charles said to me. "She said take them. Now!" Logan growled and Charles takes the pills, puts them in his mouth, then picks up a water bottle and drinks it. "We wanna see them." I said as I watch Charles and Logan looks over his shoulder at him as well. Charles opens his mouth and sticks his tongue out, like a five year old. I scoff and turned back around in my seat as we continue down the highway.

"Motherfucking auto-trucks!" Logan yells as one of the self driving trucks pass by us, really fast might I add. "Language, Logan. And you're screaming at a machine." Charles said. "Oh what? She can gut a man with her feet, but she can't hear a few naughty words?" Logan asked him. "She can learn to be better." Charles replied. "You mean, better than him? Or us, I should say?" I asked him. "Actually yes. And by the way, Laura's foot claws are the obvious result of her gender." Charles informs us.

"Is that fact?" Logan asked. 

"In a pride of lions, the female...is both hunter and caregiver." Charles said.

"Good to know." I said as we pass by the truck with a trailer full of horses. "She uses her front claws for hunting... And the back claws for defencing." Charles informs. "Oh yeah?" Logan and I said. "Thus ensuring their survival." Charles finished when suddenly we heard a noise and saw that one of those trucks started to switch into the lane, right into us.  "Hey hey!" Logan shouts as he jerks the wheel and we go off of the road and into the other lane.

Logan weaves around the oncoming traffic that was going the other way until we spun around and stopped. We sit there, catching our breathes, and I look in the backseat towards Charles and Laura. "You guys okay?" I asked them. Laura stares at me as Charles said. "We're fine." I nod then look over at Logan. "You okay?" I asked. "Yeah. You?" He said and I nod. Then we look over at the other road and see that truck, with the horse trailer, was on the side of the road and their horses started to get out and head towards the streets.
