Chapter 2:
Bastet thought quickly and grabbed Avalon's hand with her right hand and a waking Lorna with the same hand also then ran to the wall with her ungloved left hand stretched out in front of her. Avalon and Lorna closed their eyes as they phased through a wall into the garage.
"Get into the car," said Bastet grabbing the keys from the hook on the wall and getting into the driver's side.
"Do you have any idea how to drive?" asked Lorna getting into the front seat and Avalon into the back.
"Are you kidding me…? Of course not!" replied Bastet starting up the car and putting it into gear then slamming on the gas peddle. Lorna and Avalon grabbed onto anything firmly planted for dear life. They crashed through the garage door and out onto the street but for some reason the police didn't follow them!
"I think I've got the hang of it!" exclaimed Bastet, "but why didn't the people follow us?" she looked over at Lorna who was soundly sleeping against the window.
"I think we owe her our lives now," stated Avalon. Bastet nodded her head yes in response and turned her attention back to the road.
"We have to go to my house," said Bastet. "Otherwise I'll be wearing these clothes for the rest of my life." Avalon took that as a good point as they turned into her driveway. Bastet ran into the house for the last time. Her cat walked up to her and started purring.
"I'm sorry Sekhmet. But I can't take you with me." said Bastet with tears in her blue eyes as she picked up her favorite bag, red silk with sequins on it, then stuffing all of her silk things into it but also some other clothes that she couldn't bare to part with. Sekhmet walked over to Bastet's bed, jumped onto it and gave her heart-melting meow. Bastet looked at her and then smiled.
"Oh who cares about Avalon's allergies, you're coming with me!" said Bastet picking up her black cat and putting her in her little bag/carrying case and running out the door.
"What is the cat doing in here?!" yelled Avalon as Bastet put her stuff in the back of the car and bringing her cat up in the front with her. As they pulled out of the driveway Sekhmet jumped out of her case and started licking Lorna, trying to revive her.
"Hey little kitty, great job Bastet at getting her in here without the phoenix there to burn you." Said Lorna coming back to the real world. Avalon rolled her eyes at the people, and cat in the front.
"Great, now… where too?" asked Avalon sticking her head between the two seats. Bastet shrugged her shoulders and continued to watch the road ahead. For the next few hours they drove out of Canada and into the States… New York to be precise.
"Lorna, tell me more about what you learned about my mutation. I still don't really get it," said Bastet out of the blue, sounding a bit confused.
"Well, like I told you before you can only touch silk without it and will go through anything else, watch," said Lorna reaching over and grabbing Bastet's right hand and taking off the glove. To prove her point she tried to make Bastet's hand hit her arm where she was wearing a cotton sweater, but Bastet's hand went right through it, Lorna put the glove back on and did it again... this time though it worked and her hand didn't go through. "In fact… I don't think that you can go through silk at all, you can still phase through stuff with silk on yes but… yeah."
"I see now… so for the rest of my life I need to wear silk or else it will just fall off. Great this could pose a problem," said Bastet. A few seconds later… "I'm hungry lets stop for supper,"
"Can't argue here, even though I did get some food… oh well," said Lorna. Avalon nodded and for some reason she was quiet… never a good sign. Bastet pulled into a restaurant and parked the car.
"Guys, did any of you bring aspirin?" asked Avalon, "my back is killin' me."
"Sorry but no, we can probably buy some in here." Replied Lorna opening up the door for her friends. As they sat down they noticed that there was nearly no one else in there.
"Can I take your orders?" asked a short girl with long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"Uh… just give us a few more seconds," replied Bastet taking a menu and looking through it.
"Guys, that person there has been staring at us since we arrived," said Lorna in a panicked voice. Bastet and Avalon looked over and saw him too. And then he started to walk over to the three. Lorna was starting to hyperventilate as he came closer.
"Hey, I haven't seen you girls here yet. Out-of-towners?" he asked sounding a bit drunk, sorry… a lot drunk.
"Uh sorry but we have to go now," said Bastet grabbing Lorna by the arm who was protesting about the fact that they didn't have their food yet and dragging her out of the place with Avalon following too. The man followed them and grabbed Avalon by the arm, pulling her to a halt.
"Let go of me!" yelled Avalon her back pain obviously causing her to not be as strong as usual. Bastet ran over and pulled Avalon out of his grasp, she succeeded but he grabbed her instead.
"Come on girly, I won't hurt you." Said the man pulling her closer; to close for Bastet's liking that's for sure.
"Avalon!" screamed Bastet. Avalon flamed up her hand despite the pain in her back and lunged at the man setting him on fire. He still held onto Bastet though so she gathered all of her power and concentrated on phasing through him which she did in a few seconds.
"Let's go!" yelled Lorna getting into the passenger side and Avalon into the backseat. Bastet dashed into the front seat and started up the car.
"Where to now Avalon… Avalon?" asked Bastet gunning the gas and getting onto the road. Lorna looked back and saw Avalon sleeping in the backseat.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Lorna looking forwards and seeing cop cars lined up to stop them. Bastet was thinking about that when suddenly a huge black jet started to appear in the distance and the cops got into their cars and drove away as if someone was controlling them.
"What's happening?" asked Avalon sleepily sitting up in the backseat. Bastet stopped the car in the middle of the road as the jet landed a few yards ahead of them. The three girls got out of the car slowly.
The hatch lowered and four people walked out of it. One of them looking like he was in desperate need of a bath, one of them with really neat looking red glasses, one of them bald and in a wheelchair and the only woman had white hair. Bastet walked over to them slowly seeing as she was the tallest and looked like the one who was the biggest threat.
"Do not worry girls, we will not hurt you," said a voice in their head. Bastet stopped dead in her tracks and looked at them strangely.
"What do you want with us?" asked Avalon walking up beside her tall friend, Lorna walking up on the other side.
"Why don't you come with us and we will show you," replied the dirty guy walking over to the girls. Bastet took off her gloves just incase something went wrong.
"Logan, don't frighten the girls," said the woman with white hair putting a hand on his shoulder. Logan grunted and walked back. "We are just like you, come with us and you will be safe." She said turning to the girls. Bastet looked at her friends who nodded she turned back around to say something when she suddenly felt very faint… and did faint about two seconds later along with her friends.
"Bring them into the jet, we need to get Dr. McCoy to take a look at them." Said the professor turning around and wheeling back into the jet. Storm and Scott soon followed him with Lorna and Avalon in their arms but Logan was having a bit of trouble trying to pick Bastet up but his hand kept phasing through her neck when he tried to put one of his arms under.
"Need a little help Logan?" asked Storm trying not to laugh.
"Very funny," said Logan sarcastically walking back into the jet, Storm created a wind to get Bastet into the jet.
"What's so special about these girls?" Scott asked putting Lorna on one of the stretchers inside the jet.
"I can not tell you yet, not until they walk up because they need to know too," replied Xavier.
