<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#1e90ff">Rowan stared over into Melinda's corner a moment more before turning her head to face forward and wishing once more for real alcohol. But then she knew that would only make the situation worse, she would feel even more aroused, alcohol always did that to her. But at the moment she didn't really think it would make all that much difference. The sounds and smells coming from Melinda were driving Rowan absolutely mad. And she almost got up and walked over to 'help' Melinda as the other girl had put it. But she resisted...barely. Thinking that maybe she would need to go to her room and take care of herself soon.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dda0dd">XoXoXoX </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500">Though Holly didn't know Terrance she still felt a touch of anger when he abandoned her with these new strangers. She didn't want to go anywhere but home. She sighed heavily and took a step back. <br/>
<br/>
“I don't want to go with you either. I want to go home.” She said, her voice quavering slightly. <br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">Rogue and Storm looked to one another, a whole conversation in their gaze. The both of them knew from what the professor had communicated to them, that Holly had the potential to be extremely powerful, on the same level as himself and Professor Grey. Which would eventually make her a target...or a great enemy should she be persuaded by Magneto. But they both knew they couldn't force her. <br/>
<br/>
“If you choose to stay in the city, eventually you'll become known to Magneto as well. And he'll make you a target to.” Storm said, trying to persuade her. <br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500">But Holly shook her head stubbornly. She couldn't leave her brother and cousin. They were the only family she had left. She took one more step back, further distancing herself from the pair. “I'm going home. Thank you for your offer...but I just can't go with you....please don't follow me.” <br/>
<br/>
She turned around then and ran as fast as she could back the way she had come, leaving Storm and Rogue to stare after her. She ran until she was at least two blocks away before stopping beside a building and clutching her sides, panting for breath from her full out run.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">The two women boarded the jet and took off, disappointed that they had failed to persuade her. But they couldn't stay they had to find Scott and Bobby.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dda0dd">XoXoXoX </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#98fb98">Scott looked at Bobby and shrugged. What did it matter they would find out soon enough anyway if they were living at the school. <br/>
<br/>
“How about we show you.” Scott suggested. He focused his gaze on the ground and adjusted the dial at the side of his visor. And then a red beam shot from his eyes, burning through and scorching the pavement. <br/>
<br/>
Bobby followed next. He bent down and touched the ground, ice spread from his hands to coat the ground, melting as soon as he took his hand from the pavement. <br/>
<br/>
“If you're ready, our ride is here.” Scott said as the jet landed a few feet away in a small park.<br/>
