Leaving

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Suitcase in one hand, backpack on back, Blue glasses on, Marco walked out of the institute. It was early, the day after the swim. He got his bike out of the Garage. He mounted it and took one last look at the institute before noticing someone watching him.

"You're pathetic, did you know that?" Sasha said, leaning against the wall. A ball of seaweed rotated slowly in one mutated hand. "Running away from your problems doesn't solve anything. Your power... it doesn't compare to a mutant I met once. He made a bird turn to dust just by looking at it. He took chunks out of his enemies, literally."
Sasha eyed Marco and went over to him. She put a hand on his shoulder.
"You can kill people sure, but so can Christina. Both Drake and I can strangle people to death. George can fry things. The point is, every single mutant can kill. So don't leave. If you do, I'll never forgive you. Think about it."
Sasha kissed Marco gently on the cheek and walked away, heading towards the pool.

Calling over to Sasha "You don't know whats it's like to be me. I'm Dyslexic, which means I suck at reading and writing, I have to stay cold or else I blow up, and also, I lost two friends the other day. I am not leaving for good, Just for a while. I need time to think, I wont even leave the institute." Marco said. He turned to his dust form and the wind scattered him.

"Ever tried asking for help?" Sasha called after Marco. Then quieter, "I'll help you..."
She continued on her way to the pool. She needed more time to think.

Tye was sitting up in his room watching Marco walk out of the institute, then ran down the stairs and outside hoping to catch Marco before he left. Tye ran outside, he stopped and looked around for Marco. Tye was to late Marco had already left, he fell to the ground in shock, Tye wanted to say goodbye to him before he left, Marco was seen as a friend to Tye.

Drake watched out his window. When the wind blew him away a tear trickled down his cheek. Marco was a good egg, a good roommate. After seeing Tye run out he got up and out of his room. He walked down the stairs and down a hallway which led to the bottom levels. He pressed a button in the lift and went down to the deepest level.

Christina was woken up by footsteps. She forced herself out of bed and followed the footsteps, down a flight of stairs and to the lift. She noted the floor the elevator stopped on and called it back up.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

The lift traveled downwards as Drake walked along the lower corridor. He stopped at a particular dip in the wall. His hand joined with his cords and he put it up on the wall. A door opened and he walked trough it. The other end opened up to a part of the cliff near the institute. He walked out and sat on the edge. This was where he went to be alone.

Christina took the elevator to the lowest level of the manor. She followed the footsteps through the corridor and suddenly found herself on the top of a cliff. There was some one else there.
"Drake?"

[I HAVE A NAME.]

"Yep," Drake said. "Marcos gone."

[Miso]

Christina frowned as she moved closer.
"What? Why?"

[I HAVE A NAME.]

"I don't know." Drake said. "Sasha tried talking to him, then Tye, then I came down here. I like to think down here."

[Miso]

"I think I know why..." Christina said as she hugged Drake. "I suppose you'd have to talk to Sasha but I think he may still be feeling guilty."

[I HAVE A NAME.]

"Guilty about what?" Drake asked.

[Miso]

Christina sighed. She knew she'd have to tell Drake sometime. But only about Tibet. Not about the Amazon, or Antarctica. Not yet.
"When we came back from home, Sasha, Marco and I went on a mission," she said, letting go of Drake and looking out to the horizon. A strong gust of wind blew, and she shivered.
"We went to Tibet, and well, Marco got scared and exploded. It caused an avalanche that buried us. If it weren't for George,"
And Horace, she thought.
"We'd both be dead..."
