Late Sunday Afternoon, Terry/Bobby

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

After weeks of avoiding him, Terry finally gets in touch with Bobby to apologise. Bobby, however, isn't feeling forgiving and Terry's not doing a very good job of making him want to.

( And after I saw Jean, I knew that I needed to apologise to you. )

Without a Trace | Mission | Ororo, Nathan, Kurt + Paige

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

Ororo briefs a small team - Kurt, Nathan and Paige - about a mutant in need of rescue.

( A clairvoyant working with the NYPD as a consultant has disappeared... )

On their way to the hangar, Nathan asks Ororo how well she knows Connelly.

( Pardon me for being nosey - it's a telepath thing. )

The team finds Connelly, just where the Professor located him. Something very odd is going on, and it becomes clear right away that he's not acting entirely of his own volition.

( Patrick? We're here to help you, just tell us how. )

Paige looks after Connelly while Ororo and Nathan are otherwise occupied. She gets a demonstration of clairvoyance in action, but is unfazed. Connelly is very disoriented.

( You... made out of different things? Changing skins... )

Meanwhile, Kurt is having some difficulty with the sentient smoke. Nathan manages to talk him through it.

( You've got to try and push it out of your mind. )

On the way back to the mansion, Ororo sits for a while with Connelly. It turns out they knew each other quite well.

( So how did I luck out and get you riding to the rescue? )
