Christine nodded and carefully went about rebuilding her shields. She remained clinging to Logan - still trembling from what she saw. "So much pain. They've hurt them, hurt them badly."

Wolverine
Glad that he was able to do something, but still wanting to lash out at some kind of physical enemy, Logan shushed her softly. "Focus kiddo...brick by brick until you have sealed the outside world off."
He could feel her relaxing and he swore in his heart that someone was gonna pay for doing this to Chuck and Chris.
Good thing she was calming down, I was half tempted to go take that metal hat off of Magneto's head!

Christine curled up closer and closed her eyes. What she had seen mentally - what she had done mentally wore her out. "So tired," she whispered, drifting off to a light sleep.

Magneto
About ten miles out of the city limits Magneto had to brake hard to avoid any collisions in the traffic jam that snuck up on him. It was at a complete gridlock, cars barely moving at all for as far as he could see. The thought came to him that he could easily just fling the cars out of his way as he drove into the city-but the last thing they needed was to call that kind of attention to themselves.
Still, I do not have the patience to sit here uselessly!
He decided if the car was far enough up the row nobody would even suspect anything. Concentrating his power he rolled one of the cars off the highway and into the field-dropping the axle of the car to the ground after it was off the road so they couldn't pull back on. Smiling to himself he thought. One down a hundred to go!

Christine tried to sleep as she curled up in Logan's arms. Her mind still was racing from all the horror she had seen from what the professor and the others had shown her.

As Logan comforted Chris, Remy leaned his head back against the wall, closing his eyes.
She needs her friends right now. De ones dat know more about her, an' how she needs ta deal wit' her powers. I be good when it comes ta lightenin' de room, but dis? Dis I can't help wit'.
Opening his red on black eyes, Gambit looked down at the white and auburn head that was nestled against his chest. Words to a song began to drift through his head...
"I don't wanna fight no more, I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby, like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes
There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know got to win this time
Without you
One night alone Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide"
Remy wanted nothing more than this war to be over. For him and Rogue to be able to put their difference aside, work through all the problems and misunderstandings, and be together. But he knew, deep down, that it would never work. Something always got in the way.
He was quickly snapped back to reality as the truck gave a sudden lurch, and then stopped.
What de hell...
(OOC: I finally broke down, and used song lyrics, something I swore I'd never do! *sighs dramatically* Anyways, sorry for the melancholy mood)

OOC: awwwwwwwww sap-age!
Christine stirred ever so slightly and looked around. Tears would occassionally slip down her cheek but for the most part - she hid them. 'Leaders don't cry,' she thought.

Wolverine
When the truck stopped, Logan wondered if there was any trouble he should know about. He got up, gently resting Chris against a crate and made his way to the front of the trailer, his claws popping out with a *snikt*.
"I think we should have a direct line of communication with Magneto." He growled and sliced a hole in the trailer. punching the metal away and reaching forward to slice a hole in the cab.

"Are we lost or stuck or what?" Christine asked quietly, and leaned against Kurt - who had been hiding in the shadows.

(OOC: Sorry, mes amis. After de little bit o' Kurt/Chris mush, I had ta add some o' my own. lol!)
Gambit almost laughed out loud as Wolverine proceeded to rip a 'door' in the trailer, towards the cab.
Dis should be interestin'.
Looking down at Rogue, Remy gently disentangled himself from her loose grasp, and lay her on the floor. Taking off his duster, he laid it over her her sleeping form, before heading toward the front of the trailer.
"I didn't know we be makin' pit stops on dis pleasure cruise. What be de hold up?" he asked, as Logan started to make a hole in the cab of the truck, currently occupied by Magneto.

Wolverine
Logan had no more than barely sliced into the shell of the cab when he suddenly found himself hovering off the ground and then being thrown backwards all the way across the trailer until he slammed into the back door and got the wind knocked out of him. He just hung there for a minute and then was flung like a rag doll to the floor of the trailer.
Pulling himself up slowly Logan growled. "I get the feelin' he don't want to talk right now." He said with a fanged grin.
He's gonna pay for that!

"You okay?" Christine asked, looking at Logan. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" Silently she wondered why there was a hold up.

Okay, so dat didn't work. Maybe I give it a try, Gambit thought, looking at the angry Wolverine.
Giving the group a salute, he jumped out through the hole. Grabbing on to the right corner of the cab, Remy swung himself around so that he was holding onto the side of the cab. Opening the door, he smoothly swung himself into the passenger seat, and looked over at Magneto with a lopsided grin.
"You mean ta tell me you gonna let a little traffic jam stop you?" he asked, inwardly preparing himself for the backlash.

Magneto
Looking over calmly at Remy Magneto grimaced. "Was that what that idiot wanted? He should really keep his claws away from me-particularly with that extraordinary metal interwoven throughout him!" He left off the part of what he could or would do to Logan-the imagination was always better at filling those things in.
"As for the traffic jam," He said raising his hands, "What am I supposed to do?" As he raised his hands several cars ahead lifted in the air and were flung off to the side of the road, rolling over and over in a crumpled heap of metal.
Magneto smiled at Remy and the confusion up ahead became easily twofold what it had been before.

Christine held her head. "I'm going to need a stiff eighty when we get back," she murmured. "Or maybe a ninety."
