Everyone nodded, as he wrote this stuff on the board. Each trying to recall details from their encounter with these people. It seemed no one could recall every seeing the other person. It was pure guess work, whoever this person was, he was taking the send the minion to do my work approach. The other shook their head, and Jean spoke up. " It's unknown at the moment, I don't think any of us saw him or her. It's possible that they don't and sent the other to do fight us off, or they do, if we encounter this person, it would be best to be on guard." Jean said.

"I suppose now we'll just have to wait until the Professor gets back before we make our next move," Scott said, frowning at their map. He was honestly clueless as to how to find her now, but he kept that to himself. A leader needed to be strong for those who followed him. "I want you three to find the most abandoned areas in New York. Chances are he'll go there." He had just randomly picked out three of the team members, not really caring who they were.

The group nodded, and it seemed like other teams had returned during this time as well. The students who he handed the maps to had gotten to work. The rest where unsure what to do. Amber watched Scott with some worry.

Seth hadn't given up on his search for Yuuko. He decided he would check out each area he could think that these people might take Yuuko. That's how he ended up outside another abandon warehouse. He parked his bike, and kept it hidden. Before starting to slowly scout out the area, and head inside hoping this wouldn't be yet another dead end.

((I've got nothing for Scott right now. :\ Maybe you could have Amber talk to him in your next post?))

"Why did I have to put her out again?" Arthur asked, eyeing the doctor with a raised eyebrow. He babbled something about needing her to be unaware of where they were, and to be untrackable to most psychics before going back to his work. The man was nuts! But he was paying Arthur, and that was really all that mattered. The crash of the tide against the docks made him jump before he remembered that they were on an abandoned ship in the harbor. Apparently the doctor owned it! "Whatever," Arthur mumbled, going back to his training against the punching bag.

[[ Well the reason I didn't have her post, was cause I figured Seth could find Yuuko, give them time to get closer. I guess it's hard for that now.]]

Seth searched the building, and ended up in a mini fight with some gang that had been using it as a hideout. It seemed Yuuko wasn't here either, he punched a wall as he stepped outside. He rushed back over to his bike, jumped on it and started it. This was yet another place that she wasn't at. He rushed off, heading towards the warehouses at the harbor. A lot of them were empty and maybe he might find her. He figured by now the others if they hadn't found her, and since he hadn't been called to return he knew they hadn't, that they were be waiting for the professor to return.

Amber got up from where she was sitting, and went looking for Scott. She was worried about him, and didn't want him to be blaming his self. She moved past the group of students studying the maps, and soon found Scott. " Hey" She said, not exactly sure how to start this convo. She wanted to reassure him, but what unsure where to began.

((Sorry. :sweat:))

Looking up from the I-pad he had been studying intently, Scott waved absently. "Hey," he answered, going into reading something to himself before nodding and making a note. "I'm looking up any correlation between the outbreak and this incident. It's a little odd to be a coincidence, right?" Honestly, he didn't know, but he had learned that the cause of the illness hadn't been determined. They didn't even know if it was a virus or bacteria. It was all so sketchy.

" I dunno, Scott. It might be possible. It does seem weird, but I not sure what kidnapping Yuuko would have to do with this illness. Isn't her power more like bring people back to life?" Amber asked. She looked at him with worry in her eyes. He was taking this really hard, she looked around the area. It seemed like everyone was back...expect for Seth. " Scott, where is Seth, have you seen him?" She asked.

[[Do you care if Seth stumbles upon the ship? I will post for him, after I know.]]

((Nope! I was actually hoping he would. ;)))

"Remember the first time we took her out on a mission and she hit that burglar with her energy?" Scott asked, setting the I-pad aside. "Well, he died instantly. Yuuko knew what she had done, but we figured it best to keep you guys from knowing. It would have made everyone distrust her, y'know?"

Shaking his head next, he shrugged. "Haven't seen him since this morning. I think he went off to try and find her himself. It's the sort of thing he would do." Heading towards the door, he went upstairs to grab a quick snack, the excitement of the day making him hungry. He hoped against hope that Yuuko wasn't being used for sinister purposes.

Amber nodded, she recalled that time. She had to wonder why Scott was brought it up. She blinked," He...Oh. I see, yeah I can understand why you guys would keep it hush hush" Amber said. She would have never thought that little Yuuko had such a strong power.

" Yeah it is something he would do. I hope he'll be alright though" She said. She blinked as she watched Scott walk off. He seemed so okay, with Seth being out there alone. They really had no idea who had taken Yuuko, and she hoped that they hadn't convinced the girl to hurt her old friends, if so Seth was in some pretty bad danger.


Seth park his bike at the harbor, and glanced around trying to decided where to go first. That's when he spotted a boat he had never scene there before. " I wonder" He mused. He decided he would check the abandoned looking boat out first. He could only hope that Yuuko would actually be in there. He made sure to make his way over and onto the boat quickly. So far he had made it onto the top layer of the boat, where he hadn't noticed anyone. He just hoped the lower levels would be easier. He moved towards the door, that would lead down to the lower levels.

Seeing a person board the boat, Arthur cussed, drawing the attention of the doctor. "Are you almost done?" he asked harshly. The man nodded. "I'll go stall him then." And then he dashed out of the room to cut off the intruder. This day just kept getting worse and worse. It was supposed to be an easy job, why on earth was their so much work involved? The girl was still unconscious from the effects of the drug, but she would be waking up anytime soon. It shouldn't matter though. The doctor should be about done collecting her energy, or whatever the hell he was doing to her. Seriously, he was too incomprehensible to even make that much sense.

Seth moved through, he still hadn't spotted anyone. He hoped Yuuko was here, but he couldn't tell. This was frustrating beyond hell for him. He needed to find her to get her away from the people who were either trying to hurt her or use her for something. Yuuko was strong, but too trusting and Seth wanted to protected her. He dashed down yet another hallway.

Arthur frowned as he walked through the hallways of the abandoned ship. Whoever the intruder was, he was quiet. There was only very little sound from his footsteps, and that was distorted by the corridors by the time it got to Arthur. But then he started running, and Arthur had the advantage then. Jumping through the walls, he kept his eyes peeled for the boy, grinning when he noticed him. Sprinting up behind him silently, he delivered a kick to the thigh, sending him staggering a bit. "Here to get you girlfriend?" he taunted, smiling with anticipation.

Seth hadn't noticed the other person who has showed up, but with the kick to the thigh he had. He went stumbling back a bit, but he was far from done. He glared at this man, ready to take him down. " Where is Yuuko!" He demanded. It seemed he had found the right place, and he would get Yuuko out of here, even if it killed him. He didn't want to jump right into an attack, but he was still waiting for an answer.

"So I was right then?" Arthur asked, smiling provocatively. "You know, I can't rightly remember. Seems like you'll have to knock the memories back into my head, huh?" Rocking on the balls of his feet, he seemed perfectly relaxed and confident. Then he leaped forward to attack, pushing Seth on the defensive. Of course, he wasn't intending to kill, just stall.

" Oh, I'll do more than that" Seth said. He didn't seemed worried at all. His powers he excelled at using, sure he didn't have all the fire power Jean had, but he was one force to be reckon with. As the man moved towards him, he let his head go up, and used his power to shove back the other. His eyes narrowed," Where is Yuuko?" He demanded.

"You're very rude, you know," Arthur commented, turning his backwards movement into a flip. "I told you I couldn't remember, but you just had to ignore me." Sighing, he suddenly turned, darting through the wall before turning again to run along it silently. Then he popped out next to Seth, aiming a punch for his throat before slipping through the floor to escape. Tauntingly, his voice rang out: "Catch me if you can!"

" Says the one clearly lying" Seth said scoffing. He blinked as the man went through the wall. How unfair, sure he was strong but he couldn't go through wall, and couldn't just rip them apart, it could damage the boat and sink it. He move to dodged the incoming punch, it miss his throat but got him in the shoulder. " Damn, get back here" Seth roared, running down the hallway trying to find the guy again.

Darting across hallways and through wall, Arthur made sure that he was always able to be seen by Seth, even if only for a moment. He was actually leading him ever closer to the girl. She was a sweet kid, but he wasn't paid to get all buddy-buddy with those he kidnapped. Her powers were strong though. He remembered vividly how some of that energy had dropped onto his hand. His hand had started smoking as it decayed before his eyes, only ceasing when he got it under hot water. The scar was still there though, and it still stung. The doctor had even said her powers weren't fully developed yet! But again, it wasn't his concern.

Finally arriving at the cargo bay, he walked through the wall and inside. The doctor nodded to the girl, who was still unconscious, signifying that he was done. Arthur nodded, gingerly grabbing her and slinging her over his shoulders before making his way back outside. The boy would obviously see him and come running, but, eh, whatever. Because she wasn't all that heavy though, he found himself outside after a few minutes. Almost immediately afterwards, the boat's engine started up, which would probably make the boy hurry up as well.

Smiling with anticipation, Arthur climbed up the side of a crane to about halfway, standing on the skeleton of an unfinished building with Yuuko beside him. She was freshly changed and everything, though it hadn't been a fun task for the teenage boy. Shuddering slightly at the thought, he waited for Seth to show up. At this height, Yuuko would die if she hit the ground, while Arthur and Seth would get away with just broken legs, depending on how they hit. But he was eager to see how it would pan out.

Seth ran down the hallway fast, and turn each time he manged to catch a glimpse of the other. The guy seemed to be leading him to one spot, he was being careful as this could be a trap. Yet they guy seemed to change his mind and was leading him outside. From what Seth could barely see it seemed like he was carrying someone, and the boat's engine started. He started running even more, trying to catch up with the guy.

He got outside and spotted the guy and Yuuko. He nearly paled and his heart sped up. " Yuuko!, if you hurt her you Bastard, I will kill you" He shouted. He needed to get her way from him without hurting her.

"Forgive me for this, Yuuko," Arthur whispered, knowing that she wouldn't be able to hear him. Nudging her with his foot, he answered the boy louder. "Well then, why don't you save her?" And then he pushed her off the edge, using his powers to slow her fall as much as possible. It was hard, but he managed to slow her down by about half, though the boy shouldn't notice it. In the meantime, he jumped off towards the boat, pushing off of the steel girders to propel himself to the boat, which he landed on safely using his powers again. He turned to wave mockingly while the boat picked up speed and rolled out of the harbor.

Seth glared, waiting for the man to make a move. His eyes went wide, " YUUKO" He shouted. At the moment all his common sense went out the window. Scott would have been very pissed if he was there. Seth jumped from him spot, and in the air grabbed Yuuko pulling her to his chest. He turned so that he would hit the ground, and she would be protected. He wasn't thinking clearly he was only focused on saving Yuuko. He hit the groaned somewhat hard, and groaned.

A rough impact awakened Yuuko with a start, yet she didn't flail around like her instincts should have had her doing. No, she wriggled free and looked around in a daze. How had she gotten to the harbor? Then she heard a boat and turned around to see what it was exactly. The man on the deck was obviously Arthur, who was fleeing. She was sad to see that. Yuuko had hoped that he could come with her back to the mansion. He was a nice guy.

Frowning, she sat down with a thump, suddenly dizzy. A pain in her arm wasn't helping matters either. It was like she had gotten a long shot. Shaking her head to help clear it, she looked over at Seth in confusion. How had he found her? And why was he laying like that? Poking him in the tummy, she peered at his eyes expectantly. He hated being poked like that with a passion, though that didn't keep her from doing it. Being a pseudo-three year old had it's advantages after all.

"Psst! You okay, Seth?" she asked, jabbing him in the belly again. She certainly hoped he was okay; the guilt would be unbearable if he wasn't.

Seth could feel a pain on his left shoulder. It really hurt, it might be dislocated, he'd need someone to help him pop it back into place. Yet it seemed besides that and maybe a few scratches on his back he'd be dine. He beamed at Yuuko so glad that she was alive and awake. He hoped those people hadn't been to hard on her. " Hey, Hey come on stop poking me" He said. He squeaked at the second poke, he happened to be a bit ticklish.

" I'm fine, nothing to bad." He told her still grinning. " So, how are you? They didn't hurt you to much did they? " Seth asked. He was glancing her over, still laying there, the worry in his eye very clear. He had been so scared that when he found her she'd be long gone. " Alright come one, get up, we better head to the mansion, they are all worried about you" Seth said.

Yuuko giggled adorably when Seth squeaked, though it made her jump at its abruptness. She shook her head at his questions, giving him a thumbs up before slowly rising. If she moved too fast, she felt dizzy and nauseous, but that was probably due to the loss of energy, which she could feel sharply. "Do you have a ride back?" Yu-yu asked, holding a hand to her head to help steady her vision. "It'll take us awhile otherwise." It also didn't help that she had no idea where they were. Slowly, she followed Seth's lead, waiting for him to reveal how they were getting back and stuff.

Seth's arm was killing him, but he didn't let it show to her. He didn't want her to have any reason to feel bad. He was glad that she was doing alright, and didn't seem hurt. " I got my bike, think you can hold on to me, while I drive us back?" He asked. He lead her over his bike, " Here my bike" He said. He was glad that it was still there and in one piece. It's make getting back there would be so damn easy.
