Epiphany Frosts: The Assault

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

The X-Men go in. Nathan directs Angelo to a safe exit, but he and Samie run into a little trouble after all. Fortunately, she's a mean hand with a fire extinguisher, and once he sees her out, Angelo turns out to join his team. Marie, Cain and Garrison rescue the hostages, tackling Saidullayev's mutant allies and saving the lives of everyone still inside the conference hall. It's left to Sam and Angelo to pull off a last-minute unexpected save, however, as Scott gets word that Saidullayev's people had a last-resort bomb in the basement. Meanwhile, Nathan, Jean, and Ororo go after a fleeing Saidullayev, and it gets messy.

( Protect the civilians. Just like one of the DR scenarios, except here most of the civilians were passed out on the floor instead of running around getting in the way. Of course, that also meant they were sitting ducks if the terrorists got it in their minds to start taking people out. )

The dust snow clears, and the X-Men pick themselves - and each other - up and go home. Angelo gets the movie-moment epilogue with Samie - and then sleeps nearly all the way home. He's had a very long day.

( Well, I can't say there weren't parts that were very nice. But I think the next time we run into each other in a strange city, we go to my place. )

Amanda, Juanita - Tuesday morning

Following getting her phone working again and receiving a string of messages from Juanita, Amanda comes by the mansion to apologise in person.

( My phone died and I was in archives! )

Nathan, Sooraya, and Jean, Tuesday

Sooraya heads out to the boathouse to feed Nathan, who's been noticeably absent all day - for good reason. Several hours later, Jean reads him the riot act in - you guessed it, the infirmary.

( You fell in a fucking river, in the middle of a snowstorm, in January, in RUSSIA. )
