Logan and Scott came crashing into the clearing first, out of breath. They were soon joined by Jubilee, Rogue, and Bobby. To their surprise, the girl was standing right at the edge of the river, waiting.
She stood her ground warily, waiting for one of them to make a move, draw a gun, anything.
However, the X-Men knew what they were doing, and they stood still.
Carefully, as if he were approaching a wild animal, Scott inched his way to where Jessy stood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She watched him with the eyes of an eagle. Though in this situation, he was the predator, and she the prey.
When you stopped to think about it, it probably shouldn't have been Scott approaching, or even a member of the male sex. If it had been Rogue or Jubilee originally, Jessy might not have reacted the way she did, might not have bolted like a cat with its tail lit on fire.
She let Scott come about five feet before she turned. The river was huge, and the current would surely drag her if she couldn't cross it. If she were a normal human, it would've been impossible.
After she turned, she backed up. At first, Scott didn't know what she was doing. She was... walking backwards to him? Then, realization dawned on him. She intended to jump the river. And if what Bobby had said about her was true, it would be easy.
She took three giant steps, then ran and made a huge leap.
Jessy crossed the river easily. She actually had ten feet to spare.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The X-Men stared with mouths agape as the girl ran off. When the shock finally wore off, she was long gone. Bobby was reminded of his first time seeing the girl. She really did have a talent for running away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Jessy was taking a trail into town. She didn't know that it would lead to New York City, just hoped and prayed that it did.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yami-chan: Well, I think I'll just let you stew with that for awhile. Sorry for the fact that it's horribly short-
Jessy: Like all the rest.
Yami-chan: Yeah, like all the rest, ::glares at her own creation:: but it's 4:30 and Pepper already went to sleep. Until next time... whatever.
