Sniper soon touched down in California. He had used a small airstrip that had once been part of an Air Force base. After making sure that the cloaking device was on, he got onto his motorcycle and drove it down the ramp. Once he was on the freeways, he let out a triumphant shout as he passed through much traffic. The Harley-Davidson-type motorcycle had exceptional handling, and he enjoyed driving it. Though he still loved his own bike the best, this one was not bad.<br/><br/>He soon reached the exit ramp for San Diego. Once he was there, he noticed several bikini-clad blondes. They noticed him, too, and many waved and made seductive gestures. As hot as they were, Sniper did not feel for them like he did for Holly. He had forgotten to check on her when he got back, but he would make sure to do so when he came back. He wanted to tell her how he felt about her.<br/><br/>For now, however, he had to locate Lance Alvers. Magneto had indicated that he was a young man, so he decided to check the local high school. Even if he had dropped out, the other students could give him leads on where to find him. Roaring straight ahead, he smiled and hit a ramp, sending him flying into the air. Once he landed on the parking lot, he did a donut and revved his motorcycle.<br/>"Classic," he said happily.<br/><br/>Magneto heard the crashing, and came back in to see Elianna slumped over and Holly against the wall. He shook his head.<br/>"Foolish girl. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, but you leave me no choice."<br/>He reached into her body and caused her to pass out with pain.<br/>"I suppose I'll have to track down Mastermind again."<br/>He then placed her in a tube that would keep her in a perpetual coma while he did his work.
