Kurt's Oldworld: Joy trapped (locked to random_xtras)

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

Hank sighed as he walked down to Kurt's old room, hoping the Nightcrawler's fiancee was there and not on the roof.

"Erm, excuse me, Miss Joy? Are you in there?" he asked, frowning. Everybody was worrried about the amount of time she'd spent in there and on the roof. Ever since Kurt went back to thier home and she hadn't she seemed inconsolible.

Joy pointed one ear toward the door from where she stood wrapped in her wings and looking out the window. "Ja."

"May I come in?" he asked, sighing with relief.

[random_xtras]

"Ja," she said absently, lost in prayer again.

[random_xtras]

"Tis only ben three days." She shrugged one shoulder. "I'm fine."

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"You're not. You're extremely upset by this. I understand, but you need to come out once in a while, at least for sunlight and fresh air and excersize. And food."

[random_xtras]

"Ja. Jame 'o Howlett vas me vader." She turned back to the window.

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"Ah. That makes sense," he said, nodding. Then he stood and offered his hand to her.

"You do realize that means I cannot possibly allow a counterpart of my friend's daughter to remain holed up in her own angst."

[random_xtras]

"Nae particularly." She took out the note that she always left on the pillow when she left the room and put it in its place, then strode out, only to come face to face with Wolverine.

He stared for a moment, then scowled.

"Yer crawlin' outta yer hole finally?"

[random_xtras]

"This isnae confrontation. This is a calm workin' oot 'o differences." She turned her back on him and focused on Logan. "D'ye oonderstand vhat I'm sayin'?"

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"This is you holding a comerade by his throat in midair," Hank pointed out.

"Leave... 'er be... I get it..." Logan grunted.

[random_xtras]

Once more her arms were crossed over her chest as she eyed him.

He grabbed the doorframe.

"You'll have to break my wrms or rip the doorway. I beg of you to do neither, but a much more pleastent and peaceful option of joining me for tea? You never know; we have many doorways to walk through, perhaps one of them will be the one to take you home?"

Joy absently twitched her ears, then shot to attention as an alarm went off at the same time as the sound she'd been tracking became the distant roar of mighty jets.

The professor turned at once, then darkened.

"Hank, start sending the children to the Danger
Room," he said, sending out a mental call to his X men as Hank bolted and started roaring orders to the fleeing children.

The professor finished, then turned to Joy.

"I have a feeling we are to be engaged in combat," he said, looking deadly serious but perfectly calm. "You may wish to take refuge with the children down below, in the Danger Room. No harm will come to anybody there once we are in lockdown."

[random_xtras]

"No problem," came Bobby's smart alec reply. "We've got them outnumbered, right?"

There was a sudden whistling sound and a Sentinal head bounced across the basketball court.

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"Whoa? Who was that?" Scott stared.

Logan laughed as he charged at the other Sentinels.

"Get yer bit in Cyke, before my alternate's girl gets 'em all," he grinned.

[random_xtras]

"Mutant signiture deteczzzztted." Sparks shot out of the Sentinal and it started to topple toward. A few vigorose wingbeats had it flat on its back and Joy left it to the mercies of the others as she leapt toward the next one.

"This is unreal. A battle with Sentinels have never been this easy," Scott said, sliding next to Jean and fireing at the downs Sentinel to ensure it would never again rise.

"Joy's quite the warrior," Jean agreed, glancing at the winged woman. "Looks like Logan has nothing to worry about."

[random_xtras]

"They don't alvays stay dead." She coninued ripping.

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"They do when Beast pulled the two priamry somethin-or-others from thier function cores," he smirked.

[random_xtras]

She paused slightly. "How vould ye feel if yer lady were taken fr'm ye?"

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"Kid, if it's love, as long as he doesn't do a thing ta hurt ya, in which case I'd have t' gut 'im, I get it."

[random_xtras]

"Not by much!" She snorted.

[one-small-face.livejournal.com]

"Got at least a hundred on ya," he smirked.
