<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ea/XMenAvatarPhoenix03.jpg)<br/></div><strong>Code Name</strong>: Phoenix<br/><strong>Real Name</strong>: Rachel Summers<br/><strong>Location</strong>: The Living Room, Braddock Lighthouse, Scotland<br/><strong>Date/Time</strong>: Monday the 7th of September (2015) – Afternoon in England<br/><strong>Tagging</strong>: Kitty Pryde<br/><strong>Content</strong>: Anything goes<br/><strong>Wearing</strong>: Red and gold "Dark Phoenix" costume<br/><hr/>Rachel had spent about an hour on Muir Island, and being a polite guest she had sampled a few sips of what Moira MacTaggert called coffee. After that visit she still had time on her hands and so had set off straight up, staying just under the speed of sound for the first twenty seconds, then breaching the sound barrier five kilometres up and less than two minutes later floating in space, a thousand kilometres above the Earth's surface, a thin sheet of flames licking over her body the only sign of the Phoenix Force that boosted her abilities to the point where she could survive outside the atmosphere without a conscious effort.<br/><br/>For an hour she had remained there, just admiring the view of the Earth rolling below and the stars around her, enjoying the serene beauty of creation and allowing her thoughts to wander, before returning to the lighthouse and immersing herself in the mundane tasks of lunch preparation and packing.<br/><br/>Her little excursion had cleared her head and she was beginning to actually look forward to visiting the United States and people she hadn't seen in almost two years so she was ready when Kitty asked if they could leave now. Her own bags were packed, but in her case her luggage consisted of just a small backpack for toiletries and personal effects, and a modest gym bag for the few clothes she intended to take with her.<br/><br/>"Ready whenever you two are," she replied with a wide smile. She picked up their luggage with her mind, placing it inside a force bubble, while picking up Kitty and Lockheed at the same time, levitating them out of the lighthouse and shielding her two teammates in their own bubble of telekinetic force. "Sorry that it won't be the most comfortable ride, but it'll be over before you know it. Promise."<br/><br/>Rachel flew out herself, picking up speed the second they were all in the air. She willed the Phoenix effect down, the only sign of it as they broke the sound barrier and accelerated to Mach 30 a flicker of flames around herself and the two translucent spheres of energy speeding West. She didn't want to spook anyone and a giant flaming bird crossing the Atlantic was bound to draw more attention than she wanted right now.<br/><br/><em><strong>'Phoenix Airlines apologizes for the lack of in-flight entertainment,'</strong></em>she thought to Kitty,<em><strong>'but I'll keep a telepathic connection open so we can talk if you want. Just think loud enough and I'll pick it up.'</strong></em>Telepathic communication wasn't something new to Kitty so Rachel didn't bother to mention that their telepathic 'chat line' wouldn't intrude on her private thoughts. They had known each other long enough, communicated by thought alone often enough that there wasn't anything new to it.
