UNFORTUNE

I DO NOT OWN any of the X-MEN™ or MARVEL™ characters.

After stopping off at a few more locations, their final destination was a drugstore on the way back.

"I know exactly what I want, I'll be okay by myself," Mya opened the door as the pulled up to the storefront. Logan nodded tiredly, not having enough energy to care.

"I'll come in with you," Rogue volunteered.

"I'll only be two minutes, in and out. It'll be fine."

"Mya, go ahead, and be quick about it, it's getting late and we need to be getting back." Logan handed Mya the card and leaned back on the head rest. Rogue settled back down in her seat when Mya nodded and jumped quickly out of the car closing the door behind her. John watched out the window as she crossed the sidewalk and went in.

 As she entered the store, she paused, looking for the isle with the hair care products. When she found it, she made her way around the other people in the isle and found the hair brushes, combs and curlers. Mya stood trying to make a decision about which ones she should buy. While looking the items over, she distinctly had the feeling that someone was watching her. Subtly she looked over to her left, but there was no one. Looking over to her right, she noticed a man in a black baseball cap, black shirt and blue jeans standing and staring at her. Quickly Mya grabbed a brush, a comb, one of the curlers and some hair elastics and quickly walked in the opposite direction, making her way over to the register.

Unfortunately for her, when she got there, there was a line up. Holding the items in her hands, she kept her head down. While two other customers were finishing up their sales, Mya took a chance and slowly raised her head to look behind her. Now there were two of them, in different positions. One was watching her from behind a magazine over at the cards and magazine isle and the other, the one from before, was looking at a display of disposable cameras and film. When she was next in line, Mya quickly put her things down on the counter. The lady casually scanned each of the items and took the card from her. When the lady asked her to sign the receipt, she froze. She wasn't sure of what to do; she wasn't sure of what Logan had done.

"Mya?" She looked up to see Bobby coming in the store. "Is everything okay, what's taking so long?" He walked up to her and looked her over. "Are you okay?" Mya looked behind her to see that both of the strangers had vanished. With an inward sigh, she turned back to Bobby.

"Yeah, sorry," she leaned into him. "I just wasn't sure about what to do with this," she whispered holding the receipt up to him.

"Just sign it I guess, I'm sure the Professor will sort it all out later," he nodded. Not being able to think of anything else, she signed her name, grabbed the bag and headed for the door with Bobby close by. As the doors opened, she looked once more behind her, but they were gone. Smiling inwardly, she hopped into the front seat of the car.

"You get everything you need?" Logan asked, starting the car.

"Everything," she smiled again as they drove back to the school.
