[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

James tells the trio everything he knows about Chloe's disappearance and the people behind it. London time: Afternoon

( We don't want to hurt you, James. I just want my friend back. )

Waiting for the X-Men, Scott gives Angel a chance to vent. Which she does. In typical Angel fashion. London time: Afternoon

( ...I owe them an explanation. And I have no idea where to start. )

Half An Ocean Away: Briefing

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

The team gathers in England, and Scott and Angel fill everyone else in on the situation. London time: Afternoon

( It's an old map but it should give us some idea where we're going while we're down there. But I can top the chart, we have a guide who's agreed to guide us to the Shadow Dwellers base. )

Half An Ocean Away: Into The Sewers

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

James leads the X-Men to the sewer entrance, and they head in to find Chloe.

( Just keep noises down - echoes are gonna bounce around like crazy, and if I'm relying on hearing and not smell, I don't wanna be leading us down to find Pennyworth the Laughing Clown instead of Chloe the Kidnapped Girl )

Half An Ocean Away: The Fight

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

Wildchild vs. a telekinetic.

( This is how this works. Either you give up, or I break both your arms. )

Penance and Nightcrawler square off against a super-strength mutant.

( I am surprised he can hear anything, with the cauliflower ears that he has )

Firestar vs. a waterbender.

( Bugger <I>off</I> )

Cyclops and Polaris face down with Fin.

( Ain't the hard way for me, tossers. Just a waste of my bloody time. )

Half An Ocean Away: In The Aftermath

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

When all is said and done, Chloe and Angel finally finish the conversation they started five months earlier. London time: 10:00 p.m.

( You could have just said, 'Hi I'm Angel and I'm a mutant.' If it works for AA meeting then it seems like as good a place to start as any. )
