*enter Syphon and Mindwarp*
Syphon toyed with the controls of the X-Copter as she flew low over the Canadian/United States Border. She had just finished talking to Radial, and told him all about how she was on a mission. She didn't go into detail, because she knew that he would never understand unless she sat down and explained it to him. All she knew was that Mindwarp and his entire family were endanger. An astral entity was attacking them slowly, one by one, and if he didn't close the demon away, then he would eventually become infected.
"You okay back there?" She called to Mindwarp. He sat crosslegged in his flight chair, his fingers to his temples.
"I'm good." He voiced in a tired whisper. For the past half hour he had psychokinetically manipulated all the radar and satellites that would detect them. He even had to create an illusion surrounding the X-Copter so that anyone who saw it believed it to be a flock of Canadian Geese. Now, mentally exhausted, he collapsed into the seat. But he still couldn't stop. He needed to keep the illusion going.
"Just really tired is all."
"Well we're almost there." Caity flipped the Copter to auto-pilot and then walked back toward Mike. She merdged with him mentally, and felt just how tired he really was.
"Wow, maybe you should take a break, I'll siphon off your power and keep the illusion going."
"No, you need to fly the copter, I'll be fine. Let's just get to Red Deer and help my cousins." He continued to keep the illusion up and Caity sighed. She returned to the cockpit.

The grass below was torn and blowing in the wind as the copter touched ground. Caity, opening the hatch, called to Mindwarp, who in turn made his way to the front of the vehicle.
"Are you okay?" She yelled over the sound of the blades as they slowly began to cease. "You look tired."
"I'm fine." Mindwarp said as he climbed out of the copter. "Just a small headache, nothing a little asprin won't take care of." He smiled and then lept to the ground, ducking under the swinging blades to meet Caity.
"So, your cousins. Where are they supposed to be?" She looked around at the trees that loomed overhead and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Canada was a big place, and she really didn't want to be treching around in search of infected mutants.
"Cerebro detected them in this forest, near Red Deer." Mindwarp said as he began to psi-scan the area, but he was too tired. "I can't...not now. I need to rest."

"You're right." Caity said, taking a seat next to Mindwarp on the grass. "I just can't believe that we're out here, in the middle of Canada, searching for your cousins. And, not just your cousins...your super powered evil mutant cousins." She had to laugh a little and she even heard Mike chuckle a little.
"You know," she said. "I never meant to hurt you...with this whole "us" thing. It just..."
"Wasn't meant to be." Mike finished for her. "It's okay. That's all behind us. Now, you have Evan and I have Jen. I'm happy and you're happy." Although he was sitting crosslegged, with his eyes closed, Caity could tell that he was smiling. She smiled too.
"Well, I guess I'll go look for them." She said, rising to her feet. "They can't have gone far from here."
