In the time it took for everyone to get the stairs, pieces of the building were falling around them. BlackMagick sent up a quick word, hoping that their under ground home would not be touched. Another crash, and the sound of broken glass rang through Black's ears. This was not good. What's going on, and why is it happening to our little piece of heaven? The whole building shook again, causing the stairs to quake.

"Dead Rabbit, you go first, then Katie, then me, Sean, Durango, Kit, Liz, David. Lets keep this as easy as pie please." BlackMagick, in her shocked calm, summoned a bulletproof vest. She really didn't know what they were going up against, but it helped to be prepared. Everyone was ready, getting into their positions, with Jason going first. Hopefully his powers would shield the team as they left the basement.

As Dead Rabbit left the basement, he came face to face with the bane of the mutant community. A Sentinel.

"Unregistered mutant. Expendable."

Jason cocked an eyebrow. "Are you serious?" He looked past was was once the front door, and diplay window of the coffee shop, and saw people screaming, running for their lives. Another Giant robot steped our from around a corner and looked down to the running masses.

"Do not be alarmed. I am here to serve and protect."

"Chrissy, darlin', that's a fuckin' Sentinel. Give us some kind of protection. I can't do anything against a huge robot, and I'm pretty sure the others can't do anything either." She looked at the rest of the group. "Yeah, no. I think right about now our name is very true to us. Let's run away, and fast."

BlackMagick shook her head. "No, I'm taking a stance! You were right… For once!" Christinia looked around and saw Dream hiding behind one of the fallen apart walls. In a too calm voice she yelled, "Runaways, Attack!"

Kit, and David looked skeptical. As did Jason and Jeezer.

This was shit, Dream thought, as she scrambled behind the newly fallen barrier and shoved her head between her knees.

"Christinia, NO! We need to run." Hemlock. Why wasn't 'Magic running? Jason was the only one who could possibly withstand a Sentinel, and only because hurting him was so difficult. Running was their only choice. They needed help. Help, help, help.

Weren't there mutants out their with more destructive powers? In New York, even? They needed to show up, badly. People with, like, lazers and other shit – anything. Help, help, help. HELP. People who could fly. Why couldn't any of the Runaways fly? It was common wasn't it?

People were still screaming out there. She heard Roller and Monster, and the crash and clang of metal and concrete. Were the boys fighting? They shouldn't be. Somebody needed to help them. She couldn't hear Katie or Christinia at all, so hopefully they had run, but the boys needed to get their heads in the game…or out of the game as the case may be.

Help, she thought again, as the Sentinel repeated itself.

"Unregistered mutant. Expendable."

Help, people who could fly and cause destruction -- people who were safe besides. No doubt their hideaway was trashed, and even if it weren't, a city clean up crew would make them leave.

BlackMagick still stood in a state of shock, looking around and watching the world of chaos around her. She started towards Kit, who was trying to rip out wires from one of the robot's feet. But as she got closer, the other stepped in front of her path.

"Halt, mutant!"

The tremor that was caused by the Sententel's foot knocked Black on her ass, making her cower in the rubble. But that didn't stop the huge mechanical thing from reaching down to bring her into his clutches. "Unregistered mutant. Expendable."

"Christinia!" Hemlock screamed. She grabbed on to a small maple tree growing in a planter in the shopping mall the coffee shop was in, and climber up to the top. She concentrated, and the tree's growth sped up, bringing her to the arms of the sentinel. She jumped onto an arm, pulling herself up and trying to crawl to its hand.

The robot simply flicked its arm, and Hemlock was screaming in fury and fear. She then felt someone grabbing her from behind, and the pain of the force of her body hitting another. "Got you, don't worry," She heard a disconcerting African female voice say from behind her. She was soon set on the ground. The woman flew back up into the air and lightening bolts were soon flying from her fingertips, electrocuting the Sentinel, as another woman, one with a head full of curly hair with a white streak in front, set Christinia next to her. The sentinel came crashing down before them.

"Hey, Bub, why don't you pick on someone your own size?" A man with claws jutting from between his knuckles began slashing wires from the robot's neck.

"Halt Mut-" The Sentinel was cut off, and the lights in his eyes dimmed to darkness.
