Later in the day, the team that was rostered on for the supply run, plus
Marie, met in the tunnel way that connected each of the 'house-caves' to
each other.
This week's team consisted of:
Kitty who was known also as Shadowcat.
Emma Frost, a 19-year-old blonde haired telepath who could also change her skin into diamond also known as White Queen although no one knew why.
Elisabeth Braddock, a purple haired psychic who could conjure up blades of energy, and who could also travel by walking though shadows.
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, an elfish looking 17 year-old girl who could fly at super fast speeds and had a load of other powers that she liked to tell everyone about but never actually use.
And
A mysterious dark haired girl known only as Sage, whose mind worked like a computer in it's ability to store vast amounts of information and analyse data, people and situations. She had designed the teams that went on the supply runs each week based on the powers and natural abilities that was best suited to the time the run was taking place. The time depended on which surveillance route the sentinels were using, but thanks to Sage, the girls knew exactly where the Sentinels were going to be and the exact time for each different route, unless someone slipped up and was spotted, but each team trusted each other just enough to know that they weren't going to sabotage each other.
Most of the girls in the cave system had met in the camps, original geographic location being no barrier, as to the government, a mutant was a mutant and they all belonged in the same place. New York.
Maybe it was because the first public mutant sightings were in Bayville, the world being exposed to mutants in their very own living rooms when the fight between a protector of humanity, the Sentinel, and a group of vigilante freaks, the X-men was broadcast worldwide. It didn't matter to the world that the sentinel attacked the school in the middle of the night, with no provocation, all that mattered was that these 'dangerous creatures' had the audacity to defend themselves instead of rolling over and dying to make a bunch of strangers feel a tiny bit safer in a cruel world.
Or maybe it was just that President Robert Kelly held a grudge against them, from his days as their principle. Either way, it was decided that the city of New York was 'lost' to the mutants and was the most obvious choice. As their captors were American soldiers, every inmate was required to learn English, and fast lest they misunderstand an order and get shot, as to set an example.
It was times like these supply runs that Kitty really wished that some would just keep their mouths shut, instead of showing off their newfound language by unnecessarily complaining.
"Can ve just get zis over wit? I have better tings to do wit my time zan sit around 'ere waiting for you all to realize that ve aren't going to get caught simple because ve step out two seconds early." Jeanne-Marie complained flipping her surprisingly long predominately black hair over her shoulder, hitting Marie in the face. Jeanne-Marie looked surprisingly good, even if her self-important stance clashed with her torn and stained brown standard camp issue tunic.
Kitty glared at French-Canadian girl. Just because she was a few months older that Kitty, she thought she was above taking advice from and working together with her.
During their time in hiding, Kitty had come to appreciate that teamwork and careful planning were essential to survival, yet some just didn't seem to get it. Jeanne-Marie, known also as Aurora was one of these people.
She just didn't seem to get that she was invulnerable, and mostly everyone else wasn't. According to her, as long as she was ok, that was all that mattered, well, that and making sure that everyone around her knew she was powerful and as soon as she found her brother, she was going to leave. It really surprised Kitty that Aurora had any friends at all.
Marie, who in these situations was called Rouge, leaned against a far wall, apart from everyone, spitting out imaginary hair.
'Just one touch, then I'd be able to give her what's coming to her' She slowly leaned forward, reaching for the girl whose back was turned, when a hand grabbed her still gloved wrist.
"Do you really want her stuck in your head Rouge?" Emma whispered. Marie looked torn for a while, before slouching back against the wall. The White Queen leaned back next to her.
"Thanks, that could have been a huge mistake." Marie turned and faced one of her only friends. Emma turned and looked at the brown and white haired girl.
"Just looking out for the group, I don't think it could cope with two of 'it'." Both girls laughed, ignoring the quizzical stares from the rest of the group. Even though Emma was a year older than Marie, since they both had a similar sense of humor, they got on quite well.
"Ok, now Aroura and White Queen, you're going to get the water. Last week's group went to the rainwater trap on the east side of town, so you'd better, like, go to the west side this time." Emma nodded dully, whilst Aroura mock saluted Kitty and made her way to the ladder that lead topside.
Most in the camps looked up to, or at least would take orders from a former x-man. This was either because they had seen the X-men survive in combat against a sentinel, or because they knew the x-men had been key players, along with the mysterious group known only as 'The outsiders', in the escape from the camps.
"Then that leaves me and you, Sage, to get the food and Psylock, you're on scavenger duty, we're running out of medical supplies and could probably do with some more blankets. Try the area around where the hospital used to be, Sage thinks there is still some useful things there." Elisabeth Braddock jerked her head in response, and then disappeared into the shadows.
Kitty smiled, grateful for small miracles, especially miracles in the form of ex-secret service junior recruit shadow walking psychics. Kitty hated putting anyone in danger, but when Psylock was on duty, the only people in danger around her was anyone who tried to step in her way.
Also, the Sentinels had trouble tracking her, if they locked onto her, because she could just disappear. The only person today Kitty worried about was the poor girl stuck with Aroura on water duty. Then again, White Queen was pretty difficult to get along with, so maybe they deserved each other.
Rouge slinked towards the remaining two people.
"Well, lets get a move on, those flat lines-only supermarkets aren't going to rob themselves."
AN:
Ok, thanks to Nari for the idea of Sage and Emma, I have big plans for them now, Mwhahahahaha. But all who don't read the comics don't worry, the X- men evolution people will still be the main cast, and I hope I haven't confused you too much about the non-x-men evolution characters.
Thanks to my reviewer of chapter 2: Hnh
And for those of you waiting on the guys of X-men Evo, they'll get here soon, one way or another *Evil laugh*. They'll probably be introduced shortly after I get back from a family vacation, so it might be a bit longer until I update again. Till then, Thanks for reading!
