"Sworn by my own blood not to say," Amelia shrugged waving goodbye to Destiny and stepping outside, "You're going to do great things though."
"If you would have shown up as a Hobbit I would have been all over you," Ellen said before sighing and sitting down, "He told me and porr Kev that you were dead in some accident against Sinister. Wait...crap...we forgot Kev! He's probably getting mugged right now!"

Christian frowned, "Well, if it's something good, how come you seem so worried about telling me? You're making it seem like there's something you're not telling me."
"Naw," Cole shook his head, "kevin can handle himself."
Kevin sat half-hammered in a booth at the club, "I'm sooo DRUNK! And also, intoxifictated..."
"Sinister," Cole said, confused, "Man he must have taken it worse than I thought."

"You know most people don't get drunk on their first shot," A slim girl with long green hair nearby said to Kevin.
"Cole what do you mean?" Ellen said looking up at him with concerned eyes.
"Don't mention anything else, or I'll have to alter your memory," Amelia said a little too darkly, "Just trust me like you once did."

Kevin looked up, and called back defensively, "I've only had one and a half! I'll tell you when I've had enough!"
"No worries, Amelia," Christian said, "I trust you, I'm just curious is all. Not everyone gets to talk to someone who can tell them what they're like in the future."
"It's a long story, Ellen," Cole said, shaking is head, "Suffice it to say that Christian had a bit of a rough time after Amelia left. He locked himself in his room for a long time. Pretty much abandoned the team. I tried to get him out some, and a bit of my personality rubbed off on him. Hence the bad joke about my untimely demise.
"But he never forgot about Amelia. He got really depressed, and dark for a while. Started going by the name Ravage when we weren't on duty or missions. It was like his own split personality, like his loneliness and hurt all wrapped up in it's own person. He was real different for a while."

The girl haired girl signaled to the bartender for him not to give Kevin anymore, and the bartender nodded, "Believe me any more and you'll have alcohol posioning," she said walking over to Kevin to reveal that she was at least 6'3, slim and slender, and had a cat-like grace to her, "My name's Charlie I half own this place."
"Yeah but it's even more fun to use on tests," Amelia said tweaking Christian's nose and smiling.
"Wow, poor Christian, I wish I could have stayed to help him," Ellen said quietly, "Any chance his alter-ego could reappear and hurt Amelia?"

Kevin's neck wobbled as he turned to face her, "You're pretty. And what happened to the other half of your bar? Not have enough to buy the whole thing?"
"C'mon," Christian said, "Gimma a hint. It's not like I'll be able to crack your code or anything. It's like Nostradamus. I won't know whats what til it happens."
Cole shrugged, "Reappear? Maybe. Hurt Amelia? Doubtful, but I'd hate to see the face of the guy who tries to harm her."

"It's called I needed someone with money so a friend and I started a partnership I handle the accounting, socializing, hiring, everything to keep this place going, and the other guy just hands money whenever I need it, and I don't take compliments from drunks," Charlie said with a hand on her hip, "Gus, can you get a cab for this guy I think his friends left him here," Charlie said her head turning towards a bouncer and the bouncer walked off to do what she asked him to.
"Stop asking, and you'll stop wondering you goober," Amelia said playfully shoving Christian.
"Yeah remember that one guy she threw into a building with her mind? Frightening but really cool," Ellen said.

"No," he corrected, "I mean, I'd hate to see what Christian would do to them. It certainly wouldn't be PG-rated, that kind of violence..."
"No need, ma'am," Kevin slurred, "Just gemme a metal detective...detector... I'll go find my car keyes in the alley, and be on my way."
"Goober," Christian repeated, laughing, "C'mon, I just wanna know if I should look forward to being older, or just stop aging now."

"You end up looking like Sean Connery, happy now?" Amelia asked grinning.
"Yeah that too, he always had to stop me with a shock of energy before I tried to kill you," Ellen said.
"Yea like that'll happen, come on time for you to go, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here and puke," Charlie said grabbing Kevin's arm and leading him to the door.

"Alright," Kevin said, "I'll go. But can I have one for the road? I won't be driving anywhere."
"Sean Connery," Christian laughed, "Damn. I always thought I'd be more of a George Lazenby-type."
"Yeah. Always the defender of the weak, til he became the weak one. Then he so easily rolled over and died."

"I'm sorry that I left, and I'm sorry about the things I said before I did," Ellen sighed looking at Cole.
"Nope come along," Charlie said pushing Cole out into the alley, and then slammed him into the nearby wall, "Well, well, an X-man, without his friends," she grinned placing her hands on her hips, "I was after the telepathic, but you'll do as well."
Amelia suddenly sneezed and stratched her nose, "Weird, something feels off," she said giving Christian a puzzled look.

Cole shook his head, "I shouldn't have let you go, El'. I hated watching you leave." He stopped for a second, "Or did I enjoy watching you leave. I don't remember how that joke works."
"Great Googly-moogly," Kevin exclaimed, head bouncing off the wall, "What in the ever-green hell is this aboot?"
Christian smiled, "Guseundheit, you coming down with a chold or something, love?"

Ellen shrugged, "It's getting pretty late you think Kevin hooked up with some chick?" she asked.
"Sometimes I sneeze when somethings going down with the time balance," Amelia said and sneezed again.
"No offense, your cute and all in a geeky way, but my boss has plans for the telepathic, and you seem to know her and she'll come to your rescue," Charlie said punching Kevin.

Cole just laughed, "Hell, I'd bet my right nipple he didn't, but I'm sure he's good and hammered right now. Should we go find him before he gets in a fight somewhere?"
"Time balance," Christian asked, raising an eyebrow, "Like what? Time traveler-like stuff?"
Kevin took the shot, being as drunk as he was, defending himself would have ended worse. His head hung down on his neck, and he lost conciousness.

"Better I doubt he can focus on using his powers if he's trashed," Ellen sighed jumping into the air, "You coming?"
"When something major is going down that will affect the future depending on what the outcomes are," Amelia said after a row of sneezes.
"Hehe, X-Man indeed," Charlie grinned slinging Kevin over her shoulder and dumped him in a nearby waiting car and then climbed in herself, "You know the drill," she told the driver and the car lurched forward.

"So, you sneezinfg is a very bad thing," Christian said, "Where? What's causing it?"
"Baby, you couldn't keep me from following you anymore!" He took off behind her, flew by her side, and took her hand as he went.

"This time I think it is," Amelia sneezed adn watched a car go by, "Um, does Kevin know a green hair woman?"
"Chill it Romeo, I have a bad feeling," Ellen said squeezing Cole's hand.

"Ehh... no?" He'd been away for a long time, and wasn't as close with Kevin, but he knew most of his pals, "Don't think so why?"
"So, does that make you my Juliet," he said with a wink.

"Shoot, cause I think we're going to have to follow that car," Amelia said as the car sped around a corner.
"I'm more of nurse material, I think," Ellen grinned.

Christian took off after the car, deciding it better to ask questions later, "I'm on it, try and keep up!"
Cole's eyes shifted towards Ellen, "That was the greatest thing you've said... all night long!"
