Jared watched the red head leave, his mouth agape, â€œUmm....wait....she said...â€ his voice unsure and weak as the woman left without giving him a second look back. Speaking softly to the one who had found his glasses for him and then collapsed.<span style="font-style: italic"> Fuck! She is going to kill me!</span>Swearing to himself, thinking that somehow that woman was going to blame him for this and he was going to be in even more trouble. That last thing he wanted was to piss her off, at least until he was able to get to the proper authorities. Jared knew he would feel infinitely better when she was behind bars or at the very least in a pair of cuffs.<br/><br/>Sighing and focusing back on the lightbulb, he watched in wonder as the man essentially did as he asked and â€œTurned himself offâ€. Jared could see though it was easily at a price, â€œGuess you hit with something bigger huh?â€ he joked, his way of trying to make best of a bad situation.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I apologize," he grunted, putting pressure on his ribcage as he tried to stand, "I do not intend to be a burden but I can hardly move." Nikolai moved his other hand to balance himself as he peered around.Â <br/><br/>"How far from London is this?" he asked, trying to look for something recognizable. Nothing was familiar. The terrain was odd, nothing even remotely resembling the London county. Perhaps they were very far. He looked to the man beside him.<br/><br/>"Oh, my apologies again. I am Nikolai. Nikolai Chopiak," he allowed his Russian accent take precedence over his name. He held out a hand to the stranger, but did not fully expect him to want to touch it now that his own blood had dried into his palms. </span><br/><br/>â€œLondon?!â€ Jared shakes his head and tries to figure out the best way to assist the man without causing him further harm. â€œSorry Dorothy, I am afraid you are not in Kansas anymoreâ€  giving the man a sad smile, â€œMy name is Jaredâ€ he said, shaking the man's hand, as he tried to position himself beside Nikolai, glancing up to look toward where his mugger and the redhead went.<br/><br/>The icy blue eyes of death that met his gaze chilled him to the bone, â€œFuck!â€ he swore aloud just as Lucas arrived with some blind chick. â€œOk um...Professor X and associate...can you stay here the lightbulb while I go and get her? Um....yeah...â€ he said not waiting for their response as he just brushes past them to then just disappear, only to then reappear at the redhead's side.<br/><br/>â€œEasy there....â€ he says calmly, as he draped her arm across his shoulders to help her up, â€œIf you want you can file charges against her with me? I mean I think assault with a poison is like some kind of a felony, right?â€ he babbled on before â€œblinkingâ€ back to the group. Staggering for a bit as he worked on supporting her, â€œWhoa...never took another person with me before. Interesting....â€ he said a little lightheaded.<br/><br/>â€œOk...well she said North and pointed that way...â€ he nodded with his head in the direction. â€œI say we travel that way if only so that we are moving. We can keep to the tree edge as we travel so that we can duck into there should we need to...â€ his body screamed in protest and his mind swam a bit but he pushed it aside for the moment. â€œUm....Professor X you are going to have to help Nick and she can...â€ referring to their blind member, â€œHold on to the back of my cape or whatever, that way she does not get lost....sounds good?â€
