Just a tiny fill-in chapter to let ya'll ken what the good guys are doing ;)
The wing of the Blackbird clipping the west corner of Xaviers School for gifted children had surprisingly rapid sobering effect. They were currently flying over the city of New York, low level so they could get a better look, Bobby hunting around for the switch that would activate the DNA device so they could locate Hank and Logans last positions. Isabelle was sat in the co-pilots chair beside him, the knuckles on her hands white as she gripped the arms,
"Bobby there's a building coming up" She murmured softly, watching the building approach, "Bobby, building" It loomed closer still, she could see the whites of peoples eyes, "BOBBYYYYYYYYYY" She screamed as the Blackbird suddenly headed for the sky, nothing but blue filling the screen before them. Isabelle hit him as he laughed,
"Sorry" He giggled, "you should have seen the look on your face – ah, found it" He switched the scanner on and a version of the city appeared on a round screen on the console, everything picked out in green. Isabelle hunched over it, wondering how it would tell them where the DNA was,
"This is insane" She murmured, chewing her lower lip,
"Why?" Bobby asked, circling round in an ever tighter spiral,
"One X-man and one…secretary?" She asked without looking up,
"Oh ye of little faith" Bobby smiled, pushing aside his own nervousness, "come on, haven't you ever read any comics? The universe loves it when the odds are stacked against the good guys because then the good guys always win"
"You do realise what you said made very little sense?" She murmured, "try going back to wider circles before we start getting dizzy" Bobby heaved on the controls, sending the jet to the outer regions of the city,
"Did it make you feel better? What I said?" There was a pause from the chair beside him before -
"Surprisingly yes"
