Rowen wandered off into the dormitory area and bumped into a dark haired girl. When she turned to apologize she realized that she was behind her. Her eyes widened and she stumbled back in confusion. The young girl walked forward trying to calm Rowen. Rowen bumped into a mass of muscle and flesh, looking up to see a well built shirtless man who could win Mr. Universe easy. "Hey Kat I finally figured out how to use it on one limb." The man said in a deep smooth voice. He lifted his left arm and to her horror, the arm became incased in dark silver. It looked like steel but kept the sharp definition of muscle. "Holy shit!" Rowen shrieked moving away from the two. "Good going lunk head, you scared her." The girl named Kat said punching the right arm. Rowen felt the thorns slowly slicing through her skin. Her vision was a haze of green and she remembered the sterile walls and the mutants.
"Stay away." She hissed pinning herself against the wall behind her. Rowen's mind flashed back to the alley where she first encountered mutants. "You won't hurt me again." Rowen growled trying to sense any plant life. She was too far away from the gardens. You can't hurt me. You can't hurt me. You can't hurt me. Rowen repeated her mantra over again closing her eyes. She tried to lift her arms to brace herself against attack but they were being held down by something. She could move her arms either. Opening her eyes she say that the covering she had created back at Warren's had sprung to life and attached themselves to her arms and legs, binding them together. "No no no no!" she screamed as the vines lengthened and coiled. The two mutants watch in half curiosity half horror as the plants formed a barrier trapping the girl inside. "Logan! Aurora! Anybody!" Kat screamed leaving Colossus there to watch helplessly.
Kat ran down the corridors, alarming a few students, calling out the names of the professors. She slipped beneath the floor and landing in the lab. Storm was there talking to a man with wings. "Storm! The green girl, something is wrong!" she said gasping for air. "Flora, where is she!" Warren said turning to the girl. The girl pointed up still panting. Warren race out of the room followed closely by Storm. They passed Wolverine on the way up who was looking very confused. "Logan, you were supposed to be watching her." Aurora yelled in passing. "She ditched me." Logan argued. He growled in frustration and ran after the two.
There in the hallway, three levels up was Colossus fighting against vines and trying to get to a large pulsing blob of green and yellow plants. He was sporting a few very large rash spots on his torso and neck and his arms were completely transformed into steal. A rogue vine lashed out at Storm but was cut away by Logan's claws. He slashed at the vines but was thrown back against a wall. The vines retracted at the noise settled leaving only a low muffle coming from inside the blob. "She's still in there!" Colossus said trying to pull at the blob. "Flora, can you hear me. Please… Flora!" Warren yelled banging on the blob. A vine snaked out and flicked Warren away.
"I know how we can get her out, but I have to call in a favor to someone nobody here wants to see." Logan said standing up. He cracked his neck and walked towards the blob but stopped when the vine snaked out again. "Just do it Logan and soon. We don't know how safe this is." Storm said trying to get a closer look. Logan nodded and left.
