He turned around actually surprised that this man was gloating about his abilities rather than helping Dack out of this place. "You're really thick-headed aren't you?", he said in a matter-of-fact tone. Continuing in the same tone of voice, he bent down to put Dack's hand around his shoulder, supporting him. He looked past the gun right into the man's eyes. "I am wanted by the X-Men, that should be enough for you, about this incident that we just went through, I have no clue. I have never been so popular before. Now, either help me or... get out of my way." He omitted to mention that he didn't think they were actually here for him.

She stirred, opening her eyes as she tried to figure out what exactly had happened, let alone where she was or who. She glanced up, and saw the man standing over her. Normally she would have freaked, but for some reason he seemed oddly familiar... She reached up, pretty much out of it by now as she felt his face, one of the vine-like things curling up her arm and across to his face, almost like a second hand as it felt the back of his neck where she could not reach.
Even the back of his neck was rough as she retracted the vine, moving it around as her eyes followed the hand. Curiosity drove her to move across his shoulders, her mind memorizing every aspect that it could take in... the taste of sweat, the smell of cheap aftershave, the sight of muscles visible from under his shirt, the feeling of his torn shirt... Everything she could memorize, she did, storing and filing it away for later use...
She also explored her own, seemingly-new abilities as they appeared, including the HUD interface that had appeared out of nowhere... an ear twitched from underneath her hair as she retracted the hand, sensing the man's discomfort. Her whole body felt odd, like it was changing right here and now and she had no say in it... Part of her hated it, mostly because she had no control over it, but another part of her found comfort in the fact that it was doing this on its own, as if her body knew what it was doing, since she didn't have a clue...

Bishop grinned and put the gun away, holding out his hand to the kid, "Shiny... lets get the f*ck outa here." The statement is simple, and easy to understand as he waits. "I'm a teleporter in case you were wondering kiddo... it'll be a bit quicker this way."

"Yeah, I figured that part. You know, you can probably help me with something. I have been wanting to try something but I need a teleporting test subject. If you are up for it, I wanna see if I can prevent you from teleporting. But, we will talk about it later.", He took the hand with his free hand and shook it briefly. "Now lets get the hell out of here before that b**** shows up again...mind giving me a hand? He isn't exactly very light...", he said motioning at the limp body of Dack.

"Sure thing..." Bishop said as he lugged Dack over his shoulder and perched him their, taking a firmer grip on the other man by grasping his wrist. With a grin, he tugged the trio into another dimension- a twisting, turning world of darkness and shadow. It was unlike most other ways of teleportation- which seemed instant.
In this case, he actually had to look around and locate the spot where he would appear, this time choosing a series of shadows and leap-frogging his way up and out of the tunnel. Eventually he reached the top and pulled them back into the light, settling Dack down again and sighing, "A bit different I know... but it works. And it's not really 'teleporting' its more along the lines of dimension hopping..." He shrugs, "But it works."

Jake looked at the girl in surprise. "Welcome back," he said as she started examining him with a vine-like protrusion. "I got you out of that tunnel... the bad lady can't get you now."
"I resemble that remark," a female voice said from the shadows. Jake tensed, but then realized this was a Boston accent... definitely not Rogue.
"Hello, Nightshade," he said. He introduced the girl to the older woman, an attractive blond in black Kevlar and spandex, as well as introducing himself and Marshmallow (at the black man's insistence, Jake used his real name, Marcus). "And who might you be?" he asked Druid.

A small 'erk' noise was about all she gave away for the moment, she looking straight back at him with a blank, glassy stare. She didn't know what she should be doing, although it seemed like she should... However, for now, she only blinked, a small wondering sigh escaping her mouth... It seemed that opening her mouth and uttering noises was what she should be accomplishing, but she didn't feel like that right now.
Turning her head away, she showed her discontent, still trying to figure out how she'd gotten herself into this mess... Abruptly, a screen popped up, showing a rather mechanical search function for several seconds, then several other screens popped up all at once, showing more information that, strangely enough, she could read. Still trying to explain it to herself, she noticed that it had him listed next to a word in red... It took a moment, but soon the word changed to green, and she felt a bit more comforted. The new word looked something like "FRIENDLY", though she didn't know why...
Turning back, she lowered her arm and, grabbing hold of the man's shirt, pulled herself towards him, making a worried noise as she did, curling up against his warm body... she wanted outside, but she didn't know why.... All she knew was that it was better out there, and she trusted her body that it knew what it was doing when it told her that...

Norton let Dack down and turned to the man and thanked him and asked, "I didn't catch your name, I am Norton." He looked around to see a lot more people here now. They were out in the open, over ground, in an alley between a few abandoned warehouses. He recognized the area and knew it was still very close to the destroyed subway station. He looked at Jake holding the girl and relaxed a bit.
"Jake, please tell me these guys are with you and not here to fight us...", he looked around once to check that there was no immediate threat around and walked towards the girl. He bent down on his knee and looked at her and asked, "You alright now?" He readjusted his jacket she had been wearing on her to what seemed like a more comfortable arrangement.

"The names Bishop Reed, and its a pleasure t'meet chall." Bishop says with an incline of his head, as he removes another cigarette from his case and places it between his lips. It ins't long before he produces a zippo with a flourish of his hand and the cancer-stick is lit. The amber tip flares as he takes a nice long drag, sighing with the exhale.
"I'm surprised y'don't know me already, caused quite a bit of problems for th'X-men and their govenment cronies in the past." He shrugs, and rolls his neck and shoulders in order to crack the bones. He place's the cig back between his lips and approachs the girl and the other teleporter, casting a glance and a nod to what appeared to be his friends.
"She alright?" He asked, indicating the woman with an incline of his head as he approached. She seemed to bit in a haze of some sort as she looked around... this was confusing. When he gets within range, but not to close since she could be dangerous, he kneels down in order to get a bette look at her.

"I'm not sure yet," Jake said. "Something's definitely not right about her... I think someone's screwed with her brain somehow. But on the outside, she appears fine." He introduced the rest of his team to the others, and then added, "And I have heard of you, Bishop... just didn't recognize you in all the confusion down there. You've probably heard of me too, though I'm not quite as famous." He reflected on the presence of another famous sponk for a moment... if there was a chance to recruit Bishop, he decided he would take it.

She looked up from her odd ritual, looking at the others... she felt tired, hurt... aching... pain... all these things were dragging her down, forcing her whole body to start shutting down, little by little... first her digits started going numb, soon to be followed by her limbs, and finally anything else that wasn't necessary to survival would be shut down, including her bodily functions and mental capabilities... once her body ran out of energy, everything would shut down for good... or would it?
Abruptly, the clouds parted momentarily, shining out of a stroke of luck and sheer randomness into the alley that she was in... Her eyes jerked open, staring up straight into the sunlight that had made its way through the overcast day, instantly calming down as she basked in the warm rays that pelted her body... On the outside, her skin began to turn a dark shade of green, and small twigs began to grow from her 'hair' as she laid there, small gasps escaping her mouth as a few small tears fell from her eyes... not tears of pain, however, but of joy, as she fell asleep like a cat in that sunlight, content for the time being as her body re-energized itself, sending her off for the time being. How long that would last, though, was anyone's guess...

He didn't understand what was happening to her as he stood there in the sun that had emerged out of the clouds. He could guess though. He supported her down to the ground as she fell asleep where she had been standing. "I think there is some kind of chip embedded in her brain. Don't ask me how I know, I am just guessing. She seems to be some kind of mutant with powers having nature's affliction."
He turned around to address Bishop, "Yes, I have heard of you now that I know your name. I would be glad if none of you know about me for I wanted to keep it that way. I guess the cat's out of the bag now." He paused as he realized how big a beacon they all would seem like on Cerebro. "Maybe its not the best thing to stick so close to each other. I think I should take this girl somewhere safer. She seems lost. I guess this fellow here would also needs a bit of rest", he said pointing at Dack.

"I can take Dack, if Bishop doesn't want to," Jake said. "That way, you don't have to lug two unconscious people around at the same time."
He looked down at the sleeping girl and wondered whether artifical ultraviolet light would have the same effect on her. It would come in handy if it did... the sun wasn't always out, and being able to substitute a flashlight would work in their favor.

*ok, lets get this amovin' again >.>*
All too soon the clouds covered her beam once more, and she growled comically in disappointment... she felt renewed, but the endeavor had also made her tired. Curling up in the man's body heat once more, she stretched rather cat-like momentarily, then unceremoniously fell asleep...
Her slumber was not easy on her, however, as she tossed and turned roughly in her slumber, conflicted by dreams and horrors that had either happened before her memory left her, or that hadn't even happened at all... She made noises in her sleep, perhaps accidentally kicking a person or two in her fits. She wasn't sleeping in her mind, however; she was barely surviving... The dreams she saw were enough to put her into these convulsions... could she ever be ready for when they came to pass, if at all?

Bishop nodded, "Yeh... we're probably a beacon right now... more'n likely they're sending a squad here t'git us." A shrug as he stnads up from his spot and stretches... watching the girl thrash about in her slumber. He canted his head to the side and observed, before looking up at everyone. "I got a hideout thas relatively hard t'find... even wit cerebro, if y'all wanna stick wit me."
He shrugs as he pulls a cigarette out of his coat pocket- probably from a concealed box there -and sticks it between his lips, lighting it up with a flourish using a zippo lighter. Once the tip flares amber he takes a nice /loooong/ drag, exhaling the smoke through his nostrils. "Either way we should be headin' out as soon as we can.... don' much feel like fightin' a mob o'dem goon's at the moment."
