Alex is nervous as he watches over Amaya. He thinks the blonde is fine, but he isn't quite as sure as one would like to be. So he sits, holding one of her hands while Amara holds the other and Shiro tried to get in touch with Gambit. He can't remember the last time she was hurt, but he did remember when she was in recovery from being sick, Jean hadn't given the go for training, and ask she did was complain, read, and watch television.
But here she is, actually hurt.
Her phone rings again, for the millionth time in the time duration in which they've occupied the room. Alex answers it with a bit of a low growl. He doesn't care who you are, fine continuously call when you're being quite obviously ignored. "Before you hang up, Alex Summers, I would listen to me. My name is Hack, and I'm a friend of Amaya's. She's just from my understanding?"
"Shot in the shoulder and stomach," he clarifies.
"I do believe this counts as an emergency. I'll patch you through to her emergency she left with me." Alex holds his breath for a moment as the phone dials, obviously some type of ability of Hack. Then it rings. Alex motions Shiro over to him and the phone as Kitty's voice comes through. She's happy to hear from Amaya, but doesn't suspect much since Amaya is rarely hurt. Especially when she's lost a lot of blood and is really pale.
"Night?! Where are you? We have been trying to find you for his. Rogue didn't mean for you to literally leave, Night. I mean, yeah you were a bit of a bitch to Logan, but he feels bad for taking the bait. That reminds me, when did you get a blocked-"
"Kitty!" Amara shouts into the phone. It's silent and Alex almost thinks Kitty hung up.
"Amara?" This time Wolverine is talking. "How-"
"Amaya got us out, but she's hurt now," Amara cuts him off. "Where are you?" She's as nervous as Alex, if not more so. He sees it now more than before. She's in a bit of a rush and keeps tapping her foot and fingers
"I'll come get you. Where are you?"
"We're starting in Florida for now. She called in a favor to get us out, and he lives in Miami. We got a hotel room, but our only transportation is her bike. It obviously won't fit all of us," she says. "How long until you can be here?"
"Give me two hours." He hangs up the phone after that, and Alex and the other two mutants awake try not to stared at the clock as they wait for Logan to arrive. Alex blows a breath through gritted teeth.
"This is going to be a long two hours."
"Pack up," Logan commands as he throws Kitty's phone on the table. The Joes are busy trying to locate Amaya, so they have been completely forgotten for the better part of an hour. None of them move. "Didn't you hear? Get packed."
"With all due respect," Kitty says, stepping up. "I think we're ready to go, Logan. We're mutants, not people. We don't need the equipment they have." Rogue stands beside her, and Gambit is looking at them in his shadowy corner. Logan nods his head. "I'll get Scarlett. Do you think we should-"
"She isn't dying," Gambit says, cutting her off. "We don't need to tell them anything."
"I was going to ask if we should bring them."
"Oh... Then yes." They exit the room, going to the Temporary Joe Command Center, or TJCC, to share their findings and to gather the three they're bringing. Gambit is the first to enter, then Wolverine, then the girls. "Scarlett, ninjas, let's go."
"Hey, where are you going?"
"To pick up a few of our own. You should have more faith in Night Rain, Duke. We certainly don't."
"Alex, she feels warm." Alex turns from the window, still a bit nervous. There's another thirty minutes until Logan is supposed to be here, so there's no need to worry. He snorts. Yeah, right. And the sun doesn't burn you is you were to touch it. "Alex."
"I know. I just don't know what to do," he says, going to the bathroom and grabbing a wash cloth. He runs cold water, getting it as cold as he can before sticking the cloth under the faucet. Alex comes back to the bed Amaya lies in. He folds it and places it against her forehead. "We're not doctors, and you know that, Amara. We don't entirely know what we're doing. For all we know, she could be beyond our hope."
"Don't say that, Alex," Shiro says in a low voice beside him. "She might not be." But Alex sees a little bit of what he feels there too. The blonde feels bad for saying it, turning his full attention to Amaya. Someone knocks on the door, and Shiro goes to answer it. There's not much time between Shiro standing and going towards the door than when it bursts open and gas enters the room. "Alex-"
Summers gets up and grabs Amaya with a bit of Amara's help. He climbs out the window, coughing all the while. He sees Amaya's bike, and Magma is brutally ripped from the window as he jumps down, falling from the second floor. He barely manages to keep a grip on Amaya, but he forgets the cell phone. Cursing himself, Alex runs to the bike, settling her in front of him.
"What...?"
"Stay still and stay awake. I didn't get a good look, Amaya."
She blinks again, still pale. "Get us to the water."
Alex knows exactly what she's thinking of doing. "No. You're not in any shape or form to be water traveling, my friend. Just let me take care of you, okay?" She hesitates, but decides not to fight. Instead, she settles against his chest, her eyes sliding closed as the wind whips through her hair and caresses her face. Alex keeps her up somehow, his heart beating fast.
Who came after them again?
Gambit and his crew arrive at the hotel suite to find it abandoned, everything in perfect order except for everything is still there. He looks to the side as her phone rings, seeing her cell still there. Kitty picks it up. "Hello? Yeah, I can put it on speaker... No problem."
"Where's Night? I was watching on the cameras, and they were cut all of a sudden."
"Who is this?"
"Oh, right, right. Name's Hack. I've been helping A- Night out. Showed her where to find Alex, Magma, and the uh... other guy." There's some shuffling. "Seriously, where's Night? She didn't look so good last time I saw her." More shuffling. "Damn it. Why can't... Keep talking. I'm trying to get some quick information regarding the location of the remaining X-Men."
"She has you looking for the X-Men? Why?" Wolverine asks.
"I'm linked. Look. Is she still there or not? If she isn't, check if her bike's outside. It moved a good deal away before I lost it completely."
"Can you send us where you last saw it?" Gambit asks.
"Can you find her and tell her I'm worried and that if she dies I'm going to digitally bring her back to life so I can kill her?" Everyone is a bit silent. "Fine. Sending the location now. I'm going to blow her phone, so back up a little bit. Hack out." Kitty drops the phone as it begins smoking. It blows shortly after, and everyone shares a collective glance.
"Well... That could've gone wor-"
"Why do all you do that?" Storm Shadow asks, and Rogue retracts her sentence.
"Can't go much worse now."
"All of you start to say a name before you correct yourself to say Night Rain. Why?"
Gambit looks around, and collects the glances. He sighs. "Normally, Gambit would tell you, but... Gambit values his life, and he don't want Night Rain angry at him for too long. That's something for Night Rain and Night Rain alone." He picks up the broken phone as his own begins beeping. "Well. Let's go on a bitch hunt."
