"So where are we goin' Sugah?" Rogue asked Blaze as they passed the infirmary alerting the girls to their situation.
"San Francisco, Ilehana had a premonition about Logan getting walloped by Scott's eyes," Blaze replied.
"Shhh!" Crystal said softly tip toeing to the infirmary door. In the past weeks she'd acquired a lot of Sam's personality including her sense for danger. "I wonder why they are going to San Francisco,"
"... Anyway Scott said there was no way he was being left behind. So now, beside Vixen and the Prof doing all they could to stop him, he's coming. I just hope it's nothing important, but then again it could so we're all heading off to San Francisco. I hope we get to do some shopping whilst we're there," Blaze said as she and Rogue walked past completely oblivious to the ten- year-old peeking from behind the door. She shut the door softly and virtually ran back to the others who were waiting for her report.
"The X-Men are going on a mission to San Francisco. Blaze and Rogue just walked past in full uniform, something about a premonition or something. They reckon a outlaw mutant is behind it so the whole team's going just in case..." Crystal's report was cut off by the whirl of engines. The four girls who could walk ran to the window just in time to see the X-Jet take off with Ilehana at the helm.
"That is so not fair, I'm only a few months younger than Rogue and Bobby, I should get to go. In fact after November we should all get to go!" Sam complained, "Hey seeing as it's Crystal's birthday tomorrow why don't we go, for fun. Do a bit of shopping, some mutant busting. Sound like it might be cool?"
"Yeah! Definitely, but how do we get there?" Vertigo asked, "and what about Iona?"
"Well my dad did say I could take my friends out in the new helicopter for a trip. He'll agree especially as it's Crystal's birthday tomorrow. We just tell him we want a ride, he asks the Prof, we go, jump the pilot and get him to take us to San Francisco. Iona comes along and stays behind in the 'copter to make sure the pilot doesn't go anywhere," Sam said looking thoughtful.
"Hey cool, shall we do it?" Crystal said eager at Sam's proposal. Wolfsbane and Iona looked doubtful.
"I don't know, what if the Prof guesses? And what if Iona can't stop the pilot leaving?" Wolfsbane said.
"We'll knock him out and tie him up then. The Prof won't guess he's too busy keeping an eye on the X-Men, satisfied?" Crystal piped up in Sam's defence.
"Ok so it's agreed then, I'll get my phone," Sam said.
Within an hour they were taking off waving to Iona who wasn't allowed to go, the three teenagers and the ten year old grinned as they put their plan into action. Vertigo and Sam went to the pilot. Sam short-circuited the radio with her power as Vertigo made him dizzy.
"You will take us to San Francisco or you'll end up hanging out of the back thinking your head is your feet and your feet as your head, as we prepare for an emergency landing and if that happens I know who will get hurt the most," Vertigo said threateningly. The pilot gulped and altered his heading and increased the speed. Wolfsbane and Crystal grinned at their friends from their seats.
"We're going to San Francisco!" Sam said cheerfully, and suddenly Crystal didn't feel so confident.
