To Me, My X-Men!

[Shadowcat]

Kitty breathed a sigh of relief as Scott blasted Draven and Mystique out of the battle area. Ewan was now carrying Stalik, and Hank had Abbey in his arms as they made it to the Blackbird. "I'll start preppring the med beds," she said as she made it first onto the jet and started to get the medical area up and running.

"Kitty, I need to have you access a new stasis unit we built into the rear bed," Hank said as he placed Abbey on that bed. "The file is on the left side of the screen. Just access it, and we'll have her stabilized. I can't do much here, but it shouldn't get any worse."

"Do you have any protocols on Rei's attacks?" Kitty asked as she watched Ewan place Stalik on another bed. She reached over and grabbed his hand as she kept one eye on Abbey's monitors for a moment. Then she turned her chair so she could grab Abbey's hand as well. "You both have to make it. I can't lose you, either one of you."

"We'll do all we can, Kitty," Ewan said as he looked up at Hank while still tending to Stalik. "My family..." he started to say and then stopped. "No, my sister won't allow it."

"I am not going to ask," Kitty said as she cast her eyes toward Hank. "I know sometimes it's better not to."

Ayumi climbed up into the jet with Keillia carrying Talin right behind her. "Keillia, just set him down on one of those cots over there." Ayumi said as she washed the dirt off her hands and began grabbing bandages and gauze from the cupboards. She glanced over at the door and nodded slightly to the individual who was standing out side to come in.

Ashley climbed up into the jet and looked around at the X-Men. "I'm not here to start trouble. Just take me back with you...please." She said as she took off all her weapons and laid them down on one of the beds.

Keillia looked up and squinted her eyes. "I don't trust you, Ashley. I doubt that anyone does."She said as she walked over and strapped restraints on Ashley's hands. "Cyclops and the others will have to deal with you later, but for now since you did help us back there...this is the least I can do for you." She cuffed the restraint to the back of the jet and shook her head and walked back towards the others.

Ashley sat down, she knew if she wanted to go with them, not to open her mouth. That was a sure fire way of getting her ass kicked out of the jet mid flight on the way back to their mansion.

Ayumi checked on Talin again. Even with her healing him he wasn't waking up and that worried her. She looked at Kitty and Keillia and sighed lightly. "All three of them." She said looking at Stalik, Talin, and what to make of Kalik...she had no idea.

[Kendra Athonlea]

"OK, I'm going to make sure the freakshow stays outside," Kendra said as she stood on the ramp of the jet and held her axe at the ready. The zombies seemed to be staying back, but she wasn't sure how long that was going to last.

"Good! She did listen to you!" Kendra yelled as Roxy and Lexie made their way onto the jet. "Lex, you take too many chances."

"And you don't?" Traxx said as she shook her head. "Guys, I'm OK."

"Your leg says otherwise," Hank growled as he looked for a moment at Lexie's tattered uniform and the huge gash in her leg.

"Listen to the man," Kendra said as she rested for a moment against the door of the jet. "Wish I coiuld heal like Ma. Big flappy demon wings don't cut it sometimes."

" Yo Kendra, you got any more ammo in your gear." Roxy called out as she had run out of things to use as projectiles with her slingshot. A zombie tried to rush her as she used her skateboard again to knock it back. Kendra then tossed her a clip as Roxy quickly started taking the individual bullets out of the clip.

She quickly loaded one into her slingshot as the zombie tried to rush again. She fired it, as it went through the zombies skull, then hit a second zombie behind him and exploded. Both dropped to the ground. " Rock on!." She gave a rock on hand gesture to Kendra.

" Gotta say, my fave zombie movie is Zombieland, Woody Harellson is a total hottie." Roxy could hear the ewww remarks now. " hey, he isn't that old, besides I like the term, finely aged." She laughed as she continued to fire bullets form her slingshot. She stood by kendra to hold the zombies off of the blackbird.

[Kendra Athonlea]

"Hey, as long as you're not getting hot about a guy like Tom Jones, you're good," Kendra laughed as she watched Roxy use her slingshot to send the zombies straight back to the dead zone. "He's like, what, 70? That is a bit too finely aged. And this axe is getting me nowhere fast."

Kendra pulled her semi-automatic from her gear, loaded it and started firing at the zombies again. "You would think these things would have been done in by now, but they just keep on coming like the frikkin Energizer Bunny. Whoever started this needs to have their head examined. Or removed from their shoulders."

As she kept firing, Kendra looked into the distance to see all manner of crazy breaking out on one of the rooftops. "Not going to think about what's going on over there, Rox. I have a funny feeling I know already, and I can't do a damned thing to stop it."

Hank continued to stabilize Abbey when a psychic jolt hit him like a bolt out of the blue. "Charles!" he roared as he suddenly dropped his scanner and leaned heavily against the wall of the jet. "The Professor is dead. Emma just sent me the news..." he said as he gritted his fangs and tried to keep himself from going insane with rage. "I am not going to play the What If game. At this moment, that is pointless. I need to focus on those I can save, and that means all of you here who need me."

"The Professor," Kitty said as tears filled her eyes. She grasped Stalik and Abbey's hands even more tightly as Hank looked at her and shook his head.

"Katherine, we will not lose anyone else. I'll send this data to Reed Richards immediately. Hank Pym as well. I know they are not favorites of anyone here at the moment, but if they have something that might help Abbey, I will call in every favor I have."

[Jack Sparrow]

"Oh, they exploded here, too," Jack said as he, Craig, Reynard and Sri made it onto the jet, moving through the exploded zombie parts as they went up the walkway. "Kendra, your mother didn't make them explode. Someone else did."

"Yeah, Ma would have said that thing she does with the demons, and they would have turned to ash. Sri, let me help you. What's a sister for?"

"Reynard, let me set you down here on this cushion so you can finally relax a bit. I am so sorry things got insane out there. I hope I proved sufficient enough a guardian in all this. Craig, do you need anything after...that little nibble back there? I'm sure Henry there has something that can perk you up if you need it. Sri, you might benefit from it as well."

Jack looked around in the cooler that was under one of the bench seats for something like orange juice or anything that might help someone who had donated blood. "Bugger. Jubilee stocked this with the terrible stuff she drinks."

[Craig Dragotti]

Mr. Dragotti continued to follow Jack to the jet. He found a bench seat and sat on it. A small headache began before he placed his hands on his forehead for a few moments. He heard Jack as he wished to know if he needed something. Craig was quick to nod and wondered if his sudden headache had anything to do with him donating blood earlier. ''At least my expensive Italian suit isn't torn or bloody!'' he said to the pirate.

[Reynard Schmidt]

Reynard didn't mind when he was placed on a cushion. Although he didn't do much during the battle, he was still exhausted. He continued to purr as he curled in a ball. He hoped nobody would sit on him by mistake! Lifting his head, the feline noticed Mr. Dragotti seemed a bit weak. Reynard wondered if it was because he donated blood earlier.

[Jack Sparrow]

"Ah! Here it is," Jack said as he dug into the the cooler and found some containers of orange juice. "Jubilee had that nasty cola she drinks in great quantity in there, but I did find less lethal concoctions in the back. Reynard, I'll sit next to you so no one sits down on you. I think they have some milk in the cooler if you'd like it. Cream would be better, I know, but that I can't find."

jack stopped for a moment and saw Kitty holding Stalk and Abbey's hands and shook his head. "I think we need to get everyone here and get away quickly. Craig, perhaps Henry here should check you out later?"

"What happened?" Hank asked as he turned to the cat, the pirate and the pyrokinetic.

"You didn't meet Nastia yet, did you?" Jack asked as he absentmindedly ran his hand on Reynard's back. "Oh, sorry, Reynard. Old habits. I like cats," he added and then turned back to Hank. "Nastia is a vampire girl Deirdre and Gideon brought with them from London. You had best ask Ewan to help ween her off the real stuff quickly. She isn't used to tapping humans."

Jack then realized everyone was staring at him.

"Sorry, but I have been around vampires a tad more than you'd expect."

[Reynard Schmidt]

Reynard purred when Jack's hand was on his back. He closed his eyes for a moment and continued to purr. He opened them and was quick to notice Beast.
Wishing for milk, he meowed in a loud tone. Reynard hoped Jack was able to figure out what he desired. His stomach growled a tiny bit.

[Craig Dragotti]

Craig thanked Jack while he took a container of orange juice. He sipped some of the liquid. ''Perhaps Henry can check me out now,'' he said. Mr. Dragotti viewed Henry as he appeared and wondered if he heard him. ''I may be weak, but it was worth it to save a companion. I should still be checked out.''

[Beast]

Hank ws very glad his mutation did not include a spinning head at that point. It surely would have flown off his shoulders at the news that Craig had given blood to a newborn vampire.

"Jack, I think there's a container you can use for Reynard's milk in the cabinet near the cooler," Hank said as he took shis scanner and started to run it over Craig's body. "If you need an IV for fluids, I'll set one up, Craig. At the moment, your readings are normal. I know pyrokenes sometimes do not take well to IVs, so I'd like to hold off a bit unless you are feeling very weak. Jack, there are energy bars in the cabinet as well."

Hank turned to see if the pirate had found the bowl for the milk or the energy bars and shook his head.

"We are certainly a unique lot, aren't we?" he added as he saw more teammates making their way to the jet.

[Jack Sparrow]

"You want me to give Craig this?" Jack said as he pulled out a rather generic looking foil packet. "There has to be something better than this?"

Jack pulled out a few more packets and handed them to Craig. "When we get home, steak. Something more substantial. But I did find the bowl for you, Reynard," Jack added as he poured some milk in a small bowl and set it in front of Reynard.

As he looked abck at the cabinet, Jack muttered under his breath and took one of the energy bars for hmself. "Delightful. Peantu Butter and Chocolate Chip, with a hint of cardboard."

[Craig Dragotti]

Craig Dragotti was a little curious when Hank ran a scanner over his body. He raised his eyebrow out of curiosity. ''I thought you were going to examine me all the way.'' Craig shook his head after Hank mentioned IVs.
'' I'm not weak enough to require IVs.'' He glanced at Jack and Reynard for a moment.

''I'm a little surprised Reynard is still in his feline form. He usually turns back into a human after a short time. Perhaps there is something wrong with him. Then again his ability is random.'' Mr. Dragotti took the packets from Jack and thanked him. He unwrapped the foil and ate his snack.

''This isn't my usual Italian food, but it will have to do.'' Mr. Dragotti finished his food and focused on Jack. ''Did I do the right thing when I gave my blood to the vampire? She required my help, but I became weak in the process. At least she didn't kill me!'' Craig felt a little dizzy again.
