Earlier in One-on-One Sparring, Trinity had been paired up against Clara, who had been told to hold back with her sound waves. Clara paid no heed to Wolverines warning and literally screamed so hard that she sent Trinity crumpling to the ground unconscious. When Trinity awoke, she found herself on a hospital cot. Max was sitting on a stool besides her looking extremely concerned.
"Clara shockwaved you into a blackout… it was pretty crazy; Logan gave her two weeks' worth of detentions for it!" Max told her as she sat up holding her head.
"Two weeks… that's pretty extreme, isn't it?" She asked her friend looking over at him feeling rather confused.
"Yeah, but he's been in a pretty pissy mood since you guys got back from Honolulu…" Max told her helping her stand and pick up her books.
She nodded in response not sure how to really reply.
"You want to go take a nap in your room?" Max asked her as they began to leave the hospital, "I can stick around till Blake gets back if you want me to!" He offered her walking closer than normal just to make sure she wouldn't hit the ground again.
Trinity just nodded and wobbled a couple of times before she grabbed Max's arm and followed him to the tube.

Blake had decided to go talk to Darius in person about that feeling she had been having lately. She just knew that somebody was following her. if it was who she thought it was, then Darius was definitely gonna want a piece of the action when the follower was confronted.
She had been having the feeling since Wolverine had smashed his cup in the airport. It was as though he knew something was wrong.
"Maybe I should have told Dad where I'm going…" She thought out loud.
Just as she trailed off the end of the sentence, she heard a loud thump on the ground behind her. She whipped around to see a woman maybe half a foot taller than herself rise to her full height, Dark short, chopped hair whipping in the breeze and three sharp claws shooting from somewhere near her hands.
Blake's eyes went wide, and she quickly cursed under her breath before turning tail and running toward the direction of Darius' building. She pulled her phone from her pocket and quickly hit the speed dial button for her brother praying, that he would answer her call. After a few moments she heard a sound on the other end.
"Blake, I thought you were coming tonight," He began in confusion, "Where are you and why are you breathing like that?" He asked her, hearing her sharp breaths in his ear.
"Long story just get the door open and get ready to shut it behind me!" She yelled slamming the phone shut and doing her best to up her speed.
After managing to get a couple feet on her pursuer she bolted up the stoop and flung herself through the door to the building, darting up the stairs and disappearing up the next flight before the other woman could see her. She saw the door to an apartment standing open and quickly flew through the door. She only turned to look when she heard the lock turn into place.

Shylow, Bobby, Kurt, and Jamie were all sitting outside doing homework together when they heard the distinct sound of shouting near the fountain. They all looked up to see Tabitha and another girl, an eighth grader named Alison Blaire, being encircled by a large group of students.
"Why do they always fight in front of the fountain?" Bobby asked looking back down at his history notes, "It's like it's the fighting fountain or something… I mean they literally don't do this anywhere else in the whole school!" He added making Jamie chuckle.
Kurt and Shylow were still looking over at the crowd with concern on their faces.
"Maybe you should port in and get her?" Shylow suggested making Kurt nod in response before he disappeared into a cloud of dark smoke.
A moment later he reappeared with a pissed off looking Tabitha.
Tabitha, having not realized she had been teleported, swung a fist. She hit Shylow directly in the face effectively knocking him unconscious to the ground. When she realized who she had hit, both of her hands quickly moved to her mouth.
"Dude… he's out cold!" Jamie said looking up at Tabitha with a shocked expression on his face.
"Max is gonna kill me!" She told them bending down and lifting Shylow's arm to make his eye face up.
"I'm sure he'll be fine… Kurt can you help me, and Tabi get him to the hospital?" Bobby asked, lifting his unconscious friend under the arms, with Tabitha going for his feet.
Kurt held onto Shylow's limp arm while Tabitha and Bobby tried to keep a hand on Kurt and Shylow but after figuring it out the four of them ported from the front steps to the hospital below.

Just as Blake had managed to catch her breath and Darius had walked over to make sure that his sister was alright, they both heard the loud shattering sound of breaking glass toward the front right-hand side of the apartment.
"Oh fuck!" Blake cursed under her breath, shooting out her claws and nudging Darius.
He spread his fingers in a cat like manor making his nails grow half an inch and sharpening at the end.
"Who is that?" Darius asked her, turning and taking a slow step toward his bedroom where the noise had come from.
"No idea but this is what I came to talk to you about… Someone has been following me!" She told him sniffing at the air and shaking her head.
"That doesn't make any sense though, I felt the same way you did when you were gone…" He told her, making her turn to give him a look of confusion, "How could they be in two places at the same time?" He responded taking another step closer.
"Nobody said it was the same person Dari…" She spoke quiet, he nodded realizing that she had a point.
Just before he could comment on the scent in the air, he saw a figure running top speed and tackling his little sister to the ground. He quickly jumped forward and kicked the woman to the side. Blake jumped up and slashed at the woman slicing her across her oddly familiar looking face. Moments later however they healed on spot and her face was back to normal.
She jumped and kicked, drawing a claw through her foot and slashing it across Darius' chest. Blake growled and sent her claws through the woman's back causing her wounds to heal and open several times before Blake kicked her to the ground.
Just as Blake went to stab her once more this time in the chest Darius grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her back.
"Laura?" Darius questioned as his sister struggled against his hold.
"You know this bitch?" Blake asked him, trying to pull away.
"Yes, we met in Canada when she was looking for someone… did you ever find her?" He asked the woman who had moved onto one knee, cradling her head in her hand.
"No... I thought I had till this girl disappeared for a week…" She stated looking up at Blake, "When you came back, I followed you here and by the time I realized you weren't who I was looking for, we were already fighting…" She added scowling at Blake, who looked more irritated than she did before.
"Who are you?" Blake asked her, "Who are you looking for?" She added making Laura smirk.
"Wouldn't you like to know!" She stated walking back to the bedroom door and checking the damage to the window, "Sorry about the window!" she told Darius to which he nodded in response.
"Her name is Laura Kinney and she's looking for mom…" Darius told Blake debating whether to let her go or not.
Laura looked from Darius to Blake and back again.
"Wow, so Creed knocked Deathstrike up twice?" She asked with a laugh, "That's rich!" She added making Darius roll his eyes and Blake grit her teeth.
"Sabertooth is NOT my father!" Blake growled noticing Darius let go of her shoulders.
"Logan is her dad…" Darius told Laura making her eyes go soft.
"That would have been before…" Laura started to speak then stopped herself.
Blake gave her a confused expression, then looked to her brother for an explanation.
"Laura is a clone of Logan…" He told her making her eyes go wide.
"So… you're my dad, But you're not?" Blake asked her, making her laugh again.
"Just call me your aunt I guess..." Laura responded walking toward the door when Blake told her to wait.
"So, you weren't following me in Honolulu?" Blake asked her, brow furrowed in confusion.
Laura shook her head before her eyes narrowed and simultaneously all three sniffed the air around them. Before anyone could say anything the three of them darted out and down the stairs.
When they made it to the street outside, a figure with foot long nails and long black hair made their way into a waiting car that sped off down the street. The three of them went running after it but before they could catch up it drove around a dark corner and Laura told the two teens to stop.
She grabbed Blake's hand and pulled a permanent marker from her pocket, writing a number down before capping and pocketing the marker once more.
"If you see her again then give me a call, I don't care what vendetta you have against her, but I need to find her for a reason…" Laura told the girl.
"Why is it so important that you find her?" Blake asked her, looking at the number before pulling out her phone and saving it in her contacts.
"She's wanted for a list of crimes against human and mutant kind, and I've been paid to track her down… I can't tell you much, but murder is on that list tenfold…" Laura told her making her 'nieces' eyes go wide like dinner plates before her brow lowered and she nodded.
Whatever her mother had done, Blake knew she had to help make her pay for it.
