But the thing was June had been trying to replicate as many powers as possible and well right now it may just be possible to make a bang. Grace had gotten out the explosives and had attached them to the door. She had used the explosives for three reasons, to get rid off the door, to not use up their strength and hopefully knock the guards uncouncious.
"Ready?" Grace asked looking at June worried. She had gained a bit of colour but she still looked terrible. She hadnt looked good for ages but that's because of this filthy place. Grace thought with venom, It does that to a person.
June nodded, "Ready"
Grace lit the fuse and they went to the back of the small room and the sound came followed by the light and a door broken on its hinges.
They started to run, it was no time to be cautious right now, that time was over. They pelted down the corridor passing the smells of medicine and the crys of pleading. They ran till they met a check up point and guards waiting for them. They werent the boring old guards in a video store who would try to tackle you and just hope. No these were guards who were used to fighting, they were bred from the mafia.
They didn't really have to ask each other what they should do they knew each other too well. Grace turned into a panther and lunged to the left while June threw electricity at the guards to knock them out and maybe sizzle their clothes a bit. Finishing stunning the men she started to focus on the door infront of them as she didn't know the password it was up to her to open it. Thinking back to the powers she replicated she picked one and looked up the door and focused, slowly the door started to melt a hole in the middle. Finishing the hole she found Grace watching in amazement, "You're getting better at this."
"Yep" June said smiling, "Lets go" She stepped through the hole in the door and was followed by Grace. They didn't meet many guards after this because beyond these gates there wasn't much security other then the guards on the security checks who were easily knocked out.
Grace and June stepped through the last melted wall in the gate. They faced a few guards who had been warned, maybe five or so. June and Grace got ready to fight only to see a sleek black jet to come out of the sky, Grace calmed down knowing that she had seen in the institute before but June only got more worried. Terriffied thinking that the jet was recruited by the mafiaa silvery blue aura started to come from June… all the powers seemed to combine into one and surrounded her getting bigger and bigger and destroying everything that was worrying her. The guns in the hands of the guards broke into pieces and fell to the ground as dust. Terriffied the guards ran away from the mutant who now seemed to be out of her mind. The power seemed to be going towards the jet now and the look in her eyes was pretty much death to who ever was in there. Noticing that she was about to strike the jet Grace yelled at her, "JUNE!" Her friend looked towards her she wasn't herself her eyes were blu and silvery and seem to be emitting energy, "JUNE! LISTEN!" She tried to get closer but it hurt, "THE JET IS OUR FRIENDS!" Grace yelled hoping to get through to her stable self. June looked at the Jet then at the aura like in surprise and then quickly it reatreated back into herself and she fell to the ground.
June looked weakly up as the Jet came thumping to the ground. Grace came to her side picking her up and making her lean on her shoulder, "You ok?" June looked at her still in shock, "I don't know what happenned…"
"Me neither" Grace said, "But lets get you to safety." She started to half drag June to the X jet as June limped weakly on her side. The door opened on the jet and Grace and June walked in slowly. Putting June down Grace looked up at the X men, "The rest are still down there. If you were waiting for an opportunity now is the time" The X men stared at them for a while but they just ignored them. As they heard thumping of footsteps as they ran out. Grace sat down on a seat next to June. Looking at her she seemed even paler then before. Using her powers had drained her out, she had never learned how to control them Grace thought while shaking her head
"What?" June said giving her a quizzical look
"Nothing" Grace said smiling "Nothing at all"
A noise alerted Grace and June to the sliding door to their left. Xavier wheeled into view and announced himself as he came closer, "Hello my name is Xavier and you must be Grace's friend June." He put his hand out. June shaked it, "Yes, I am sorry about before" She said slightly embarressed.
"No damage was done," Xavier said cheerfully
"But..It could have been melted….or something…" June said not sure what could have happened and slightly worried about it.
"But nothing happenned," Xaiver said ressuring her, "So its fine"
"I just…don't know how to control it…." June said looking at the ground, "They are all locked up there. Its easier to lock them away when I am not worried but…it sometimes explodesand they all come loose…."
Grace watched this scene with interest, it was funny to see June explain everything so suddenly but she guessed she trusted him a lot. It was hard not to after all, he was just so willing to listen…Grace still wasn't going to trust him fully though, he could be decieving them.
A red head came into the X jet stopping the conversation, "We cant get too many on the jet so we are taking the ones who are willing to fly with us and I have contacted the Sector 414 and they are going to pick up the rest of them."
Sector 414? Grace thought quizzically but she stopped thinking of it as soon as Julia and her 2 year old child was stepping on board, running over to her she hugged her and looked over the child in case of injuries before handing him back to his mother. "Thanks" Julia said. Grace just smiled, "I told you I would get everyone out"
"What a happy family reunion" A slightly sarcastic voice said as Logan leaned against the wall, half watching Grace and June and half watching the mutants loading into the Jet.
"Family?" Julia asked
"I think you might have been mistaken" Xavier said laughing to himself, "She isnt her mother"
Grace looked at Julia then Logan and tried to conceal the laughter, "She is my friend. I met her when she was pregnant with little tom here" she said pointing at the two year old.
"She also brought some good food and some antibotics when tom was sick" Julia said trying to be useful
"It was just some bread and stuff" Grace said sitting down inbetween Julia and June.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Everybody ready?" The red head said, "time for lift off"
