As the Taygetos telempath continues to burrow into Nathan's mind, she finds something surprising.

Last week, Manuel and Amara run into each other again while he is out near the stables with his sister, and to her utter confusion, he is perfectly polite and offers to teach her how to ride a horse.

Garrison comes across Inez letting out some stress through batting practice, and helps clear the air about some of her recent issues. - Takes place before the evening's mission.

Fiddler's Green: Greenland

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Arriving in Greenland, the other members of the rescue team discover from Jean that Nathan's capture was all part of the plan. Kyle is sent into the facility with psychic camouflage to trigger Nathan's memory blocks, and after having his own encounter with the young operatives, frees his teammate - only to discover that their business there isn't finished. On the flight back, Haller takes care of an unexpected consequence of Nathan's captivity, and Kyle and Zanne try to distract themselves from what's to come. The day's only just started.

( This was the plan. Here's the plan now. )

( This was so wrong. )

( They're done. I'm not. )

( Day's not done yet, is it? )

( One of these days, that man is going to get us killed. )

Fiddler's Green: Plan B

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

The X-Men head to Wyoming to carry out the second half of the plan and use the Trojan Horse to incapacitate the young operatives so that SHIELD can take everyone related to Taygetos safely into custody. Things go south fast when Trask implements a plan of her own, and the X-Men find themselves in a fight after all.

( This is the part I hate. )

( I have the feeling that simple and this place are not going to have much in common very quickly. )

( Cyclops, problem. )

( Just get them away from me. Please. )

( Through the shooting gallery. )

(  This was a pint-sized ball of bitey terror. )

( Time for a roundup. )

Fiddler's Green: Hold The Line

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

The X-Men continue to fight the children they've come to save, but manage to turn the tide. Alpha and Trask finally pay for their crimes, and Nathan is surprised in a way he never expected.

( Time to play rear guard. )

( You make a better target alive. )

( I really fucking hate this job sometimes. )

( I have seriously had enough of this bitch. )

( Then his screaming began. )

( You think I don't know darkness? )

( C'mon guys, shut these kids down. )

( I can hold it. )

( Still there. )

Fiddler's Green: After The Battle

Nathan and Jean-Paul, late Monday night

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

The Blackbird arrives home, and Nathan gets a hand so that he can leave the plane on his own two feet.

Forge and Lil - Gallows Humor

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

On the way back from Wyoming, Forge and Lil try and unwind with some banter. It is not very successful.

( Better to build a hundred terawatt helium-xenon laser than to curse the darkness. )
