Terry barely made it to the hospital under her own steam only to be turned away.

With everything going on in the world, including the tragedy in Genosha, the hospital was refusing to treat known mutants.

She didn’t have the strength to find somewhere else to go. That’s how Terry ended up slumped over on the sidewalk off to the side of the ER doors, clutching her battered body.

“Please…help…” she uttered weakly as she heard someone passing nearby.

“That’s nothing compared to some of the student rooms at the mansion,” she joked lightly, trying not to wince as she sat down at the table. “I was never a student there but I help out when I can. It gets wild.”

"Oh, I know," said Gina with a smile, deciding to continue this conversation as Jesse did his examination, to help distract her. "Did you ever meet the girl who would open portals all over the place and then forget to close them? You'd be walking down a hallway, turn right, and end up back where you started."

"Nothing to be done for the ribs except to tape them up and hope for the best," Jesse remarked. "Gonna need stitches here..."

Terry wasn’t particularly heavy but she still tried to carry as much of her own weight as she could as they went up the stairs. “Why would the cops come? Or is it just what happened in Genosha rattling everyone?”

"There no reason for the cops to come," said Gina calmly. "Everybody's nerves are just frayed, and the police aren't known for being kind to us or the people who shelter us."

They got Terry to the top of the stairs and into a fairly-normal-looking sitting room and kitchen. Normal except for the scorched handprints on the wall and one on the fridge.

"Ignore those," said Gina.

"That guy hasn't lived here in over a year," Jesse agreed.

She was grateful when the car stopped, it was easier to breathe without the bumps in the road. “Peculiar?” Terry asked as she tried to get out of the car, one arm still wrapped protectively around her ribs.

"Sorry, people... people with special talents, like us," said Gina. "I don't like the word mutant. It sounds monstrous. Of course, I should talk, since I called it my monster for years. I'm afraid the elevator is broken, so we'll have to take the stairs."

"People are scared to death," Jesse said, letting the young woman lean on him. "The guy downstairs is worried the police are gonna burst in any moment."

“I’m Terry. Cassidy,” she replied, resting her head against the cool glass of the window with her eyes closed. “I’ll make it…been worse.” It went without saying she’d also been better. She wasn’t really aware of anything going on around her, all she could do was focus on breathing and staying awake.

The van was just a delivery van. They were safe for now. How Gina hated having to always look over her shoulder like this!

"Nice to meet you, Terry. I hope to maintain your acquaintance for a long time," she said.

She pulled up next to a building with a small grocery shop on the first floor. A man was waiting at the side door for them.

"Oh, my god!" he exclaimed when he saw Terry's injuries. "They really turned her out of the emergency room?"

"Evidently," said Gina. "Miss? Jesse here was a field medic in the army. He's not a peculiar himself but one of them saved his life once and he does his best to return the favour. Let's get you inside."

“You’re a shapeshifter like Morph?” She was probably right that Terry shouldn’t be talking so much. The laugh she’d tried was more of a groan and wince. “Everything is such a mess…”

"Not quite. I'm not as flexible as he is," said Gina. She did wonder who this young woman was, besides clearly a peculiar - a mutant, although Gina had never liked the word - but she worried she'd make her uncomfortable by asking.

They headed out onto the main road. Was that blue van just a normal Amazon delivery, or was it following them?

"Hang in there. Five minutes."

“You know the professor?” she asked, taking shallow breaths thanks to her ribs and lung. “I don’t think…I’ve heard your name…before. Did he send you? Where are we going?” Everything ached but she needed to know who she was with and where they were going.

"I do, and I'm not sure you should be talking so much," said Gina. "We're going to a safehouse. Charles didn't send me but I'm going to be in touch with him. If you haven't heard of me, it'll be because I spend most of my time overseas. I happened to be in America when everything started going pear-shaped and I don't want to risk being recognized if I try to travel. Nobody wants a four-ton shapeshifter on an airplane," she added, unsure if that would lighten the mood or not. It was worth a try.

Terry looked up at the stranger questioningly before taking her hand. Not usually so trusting, she knew she didn’t really have much choice. This could be the only help she was offered all night. “Thank you…who are you?” she asked hauntingly as she got to her feet.

Gina bundled her into the car and put a blanket over her. "My name is Gina Howard. I'm a friend of Charles Xavier." Hopefully that would mean something to the young woman - it didn't always. "I'll drive carefully. Don't worry, if we meet anybody hostile, I can take care of them." She climbed into the front seat and pulled out of the waiting zone. Somebody nearby was filming... how lovely. Hopefully they would post it with a caption about a neglected peculiar forced out of the ER, rather than branding them both terrorists.

There was one mutant working at the hospital - the boy, a porter, didn't dare reveal himself, and kept his mutation as secret as he could. When the woman was turned out, however, he made use of the one tool he had. He texted the nearest person who could help, along with a laundry list of the woman's injuries. Literal x-ray vision at will could have been such a help in his job if only he could talk about it.

Gina got the text, and a few minutes later she pulled up outside the ER to see the woman the porter had told her about... just sitting there. People were staring at her as they went in, the nurses and attendants escorting them away.

"You definitely look like the one with the punctured lung," said Gina, offering her a hand. "Come on... I know people who can help."

"Well welcome to hunger games" he pauses. " wait wrong fandom, High.. I'm Grandmaster and I'm looking for my favorite young lad.. Loki.. or sparkles will do"

[dowagerrex]

The Grandmaster eyes light up “ We do, I heard they are really good my brother collected them once when we were younger.. ” The creator of the plant grinned. ’ We might have biggest amount of chocolate in the galaxy"

“Marvellous!”  She brought her hands together with a smile.  “May I meet some of the other contestants?”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

"Well welcome to hunger games" he pauses. " wait wrong fandom, High.. I'm Grandmaster and I'm looking for my favorite young lad.. Loki.. or sparkles will do"

[dowagerrex]

“ Shapeshifter, interesting…” he grins “ of course I’m not doing this for giggles.. you get  your own home, anything you want even if you want to leave.. because I got yelled at the last time” he sighs almost too dramatically

“Not quite the outcome I expected from being abducted by aliens, but I can’t say I mind the idea of spending my declining years as a star.  It’s not an ability I got to show off much on Earth.”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

" Earthlings to do that, none of that here and I do need new person. " he frowns. " Stupid sparkles took mighty green guy away" "You even get your own parade"

[dowagerrex]

“Excellent.  You do have chocolate on this planet, yes?”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

“You want a fight, Sir, I’ll give you one.”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

He makes in human scream jumping backwards. " How.. who a dinosaur" he said in awe. This could work

[dowagerrex]

“I’m a shapeshifter, actually.  And I may be getting on in years but I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve.  Now... am I going to be compensated for this?”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

Alan was use to dumb things humans do.. Dinosaurs back being one of them. As much as he loved them. And couldn't get over them. this.... this wasn't good.

[dowagerrex]

He frowns.. lines showing on his face. “Human trail” he asked. He almost didn’t want to know the answer. If human trails did happen.. than who knows what else was out there.. 

“Well, you’ve got gaps in the sequence, you need codes that will make us more docile, more receptive to instructions, better at communicating... what’s the easiest source?  There’s lots of humans around, plenty of chromosomes to choose from, and other people have already done the research of sequencing it and figuring out what parts do what.”

“You don’t know the half of it, Doctor.”

[moved2stcrmymuses]

He squints raises eyebrow “ I feel like I should ask.. but honestly ” he was going to regret asking wasn’t he?

“What exactly do you mean..” he asked

[dowagerrex]

“You really think dinosaur and frog are the only things Dr. Wu put in?”
