No More Running
Joey wasn't sure what had just happened. One moment, he was kicking Bigmouth's face in, the next minute, the whole world started shaking, and people were screaming. Buildings fell over and then he was ducking behind a car, trying to keep from getting splattered by falling debris. When the shaking stopped, Joey managed to push himself out of mass of debris and garbage, and stood up to look for his teammates.

Fargo, Georgia was a land of chaos.

The few buildings that hadn't fallen over were still crumbling, and there were people lying on the ground before him. Others civilians walked about, clutching at extremities (some missing) or trying to stop the blood flow of other people's wounds. Joey could feel something warm and wet on the side of his own face, but he tried not to think about that. If he did, it would only slow him down.

"Wild Child! Shatter! Ice Princess! Ruby! Kitten! Someone say somethin'!" Joey called out, hoping that this mission hadn't succeeded at what Krakoa had narrowly failed at.

"YOU DID THIS! YOU MUTANT FREAKS BLEW UP OUR TOWN!" a woman screams, pointing at Joey.

"You gotta be kiddin' me..." he says, calling a flame to his hand.

He did not need this right now.

	Cassidy keeps his eyes on Tina, trying not to think about how he's currently outnumbered three-to-one. If they wanted to hurt him for what happened to Tina, he wasn't sure he could stop him unless he blew up again. He really didn't want to do that again. He takes Joey's direction and doesn't speak unless directly spoken to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rose--not that she'd ever say so aloud--was extremely happy to see that Annie was still among the living. She might not have actually been related to her, but Annie was like a sister to her, and certainly closer than their own universe's versions of Nate and Rachel (the older one from the future) had been.

She could feel her tongue starting to grow back in her mouth. Maybe she'd actually be able to talk soon. Damn, but her hair growing back itched.

	Tina continued to fight to stay awake, her breathing still an issue, still no longer speaking or responding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Between the three of them, the group manages to lift the beam off of Tina and remove the piece of rebar. Cassidy keeps pressure on the wound as Joey and Ana go to get the Blackbird. There's a first aid kit on the plane; while it won't help with this, it will at least aid them in stabilizing her until she's home.

Cassidy looks at Joey, Rose and Ana, unsure of what comes next.

"So...what happens now?" he asks.

	"We get her and the rest of the team home," Rose said. She frowned. Dang kid had gotten her set on fire, injured Tina, Joey, and who knows who else. But he was also probably the one they'd been sent to find. She recognized the scent. And Tina trusted him. "And you come with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Uh oh. Burned Girl looked pissed and now that she could talk, Cassidy is pretty certain she's not happy with him. Did she get burned because of him? And where would they take him to? "I'm not going to any lab, or in a cell." he says warily. He wasn't going to be locked up again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rose fought to control her anger, feeling the red creeping in around the edges of her vision. She stabbed a finger in his direction. "You just leveled most of a city," she reminded him. "Right now, we're your best option."

Blegh. Newly grown tongue felt wrong in her mouth. But she also, mad as she was, understood the fear of being caged and poked and prodded.

"No cages. I promise."

"Look, kid, Rose is right. Tina dies if we don't leave now. You can take your chances with people who want you dead like the Terminator wanted Sarah Connor...or you can come with us and live.

And get some help." Joey says.

"Either way, I'm takin' my friends and gettin' the hell out of here. Are you in or out?" Joey asks. He doesn't have time to play around; nor does Tina.

"M-my name is Cassidy." the young man says quietly, immediately looking away from the sharpness of their voices. George and the others used to talk to him like that before the hitting started.

He doesn't want to get hit again.

"Okay...I'll go. I don't want Tina to die." Cassidy says.

He will follow the others back to the Blackbird, not wanting to look back at what's left of Fargo.

	Rose rubbed absently at her scalp, blackened skin peeling away and tufts of black hair poking through. Gah. She was going to be itchy for days. Time to go home. (Reply to this)(Parent)
