Kitty could tell Keiy was getting nervous around S.H.I.E.L.D. by the way he was hiding behind her. So she decided it was best they cut their time here short. Besides they needed to get back to tell Jack of what was going on. First Count took Emily, now he has taken Pavati. Their team was being torn apart one by one. They needed to act fast to track the Sovereigns whereabouts and rescue their friends. Kitty addressed the head officer.
Shadowcat: I'll leave the rest of this to be handled by your team and the police dept. We have to return back to our base immediately. One of our own was taken captive here. We have to find her.

Keiy was glad to be leaving the company of the officers. He followed nervously behind Kitty until they where out of sight of the officers. Keiy released a breath that he had not realized that he was holding. He still still stuck close to Kitty, finding a strange comfort from her presence. "Um... Miss. Pryde.... What ... What are we going to do now?" Keiy muttered, "Are-are we really just going home?"

(With the officers coming in and taking down the remaining mutants, Avriletta knew that the situation was finally under control. Though she felt bad that she hadn't done enough to fight the Sovereigns. She walked over to where Count was standing and grabbed her knife. She then turned around and followed Keiy and Kitty.)

Shadowcat: We have to let Jack know what's happened here. It's obvious they are looking for someone. A criminal. I think it's safe to say, they are looking for Sara. Which will lead them back to the mansion.

(Count was confused as to why an X-man was even in the prison. "What were the odds?" he thought to himself. He decided not to question his luck. Count gave it some thought and felt it was worth a try.)
Count: You don't disappoint Marcus, well done. So, you believe that Winterfire might be in the X-men mansion? How can that be if we destroyed it already? Unless you think they have another base?

Marcus frowned in confusion. His plan was failing. Then an idea hit him. "Thats what we think. But as you saw, one of the people we fought was alive and breathing." Marcus said. "My idea is that we take the jet that is a couple of minutes away from Jack's Bar to the mansion." He paused for effect, letting what he was saying sink in. "And if it is there then we drop her off and watch what happens." Jack, however, was again skeptical. "And how do we suppose to do that? Watching her, that is." "Bug her of course." Marcus replied immediately. "Which I will leave up to your expertise." He was almost chuckling as he finished his statement. "But for the mean time lets just get back to Jacks Bar." The last part was an order more than a suggestion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keiy was walking behind Kitty and noticed the other girl approach. When They had gotten in sight of the jet, Keiy saw a group that just appeared to be sitting down near the jet. "Um... Miss Pryde... Who are they?" He muttered. Keiy really didn't want to be near any more people. But it looked like there was still one obstacle to go.

Kitty looked in the direction Keiy was indicating. Great... what now? She saw the group of officers that were guarding the jet were now sitting down while a woman was touching their bare hands and a man in a trench coat was standing nearby. Kitty approached the jet and called out to the two.
Shadowcat: Excuse me. What are you doing?

Thought looked up as he heard Kitty approach. He recognized the group as they approached by matching them to the memories of the officers. "Oh don't mind us. We are just having some tea." Thought said. "Great invention from this planet. Who would have thought that soaking tree bark in warm water would create a fantastic beverage." The small man said more to himself than to the group. Then addressing the group again, "We truly will let you by. I just wanted to meet you. After all we had heard such nice things about you three thanks to our new friends here." Thought gestured to the officers.

Kitty looked to the officers. They seemed to be in a bit of a trance. Kitty approached the duo but still held caution.
Shadowcat: Well then we should properly be introduced. I'm Kitty Pryde, or Shadowcat. These are my teammates, Avriletta and Keiy.

Keiy was, at first, worried of the situation. He just wanted to get back to the mansion. When he realized the they were not going to fight Keiy began to relax. The demi-human let out a sigh and let his whole body just relax. With in moments there was the sound of leather tearing as his wings and tail pushed through the outfit that he was in. His markings showed embarrassment, but his face showed relief. Memory saw all of this because she was use to Thought making all of the conversations. She was simply not needed. But when Memory saw that the boy had a tail she let out a squee of delight. The tall woman found it adorable and wanted it immediately. "Brother, can I have that one?" Memory asked, effectively interrupting the conversation. Thought was surprised at the sudden interruption. It was rare that Memory interrupted anything. He changed his attention to Keiy and reconised what had caught his sister's attention immediately. <Of course. It has a tail.> the short man thought, but instead said, "What are the slave laws of this planet? We are what you may call tourists." Keiy was shocked that suddenly he was the topic of interest. He let out a quick "meep!" and hid behind Ave. <Why couldn't they have just ignored me!> Keiy thought as he shrunk behind his teammate.

(Count nodded in agreement. It seemed the most logical idea. Though it still didn't explain why Kitty and the boy were alive. Count had to think that part out.
Count: Very well. Let's head to this bar of yours.
(At that moment he looked at the man whom he presumed was Jack. Count looked away and looked at James. )
Count: We'll rest up and take care of our wounded. Then we will decide on what to do with the X-man. Now is everyone ready to go?
(Count really didn't wait for anyone to reply, as the shadows beneath everyone's feet quickly expanded. A moment later, the group of mutants disappeared.)

Kitty learned a few things about the strange duo from their conversations. 1) It was apparent that they had some superhuman abilities. 2) They were possible aliens. Now they had taken an interest in Keiy and were talking about slave laws. These two were really strange but Kitty gave a quick education.
Shadowcat: There are no slave laws here. It is illegal. No being can force another into forced servitude.
Kitty now had a another dilemma. They had to return back to the mansion as soon as they could, but with these strange two, Kitty wasn't sure if she should just leave them here.

Thought was having a hard time entering Kitty's mind. He could feel the cogs working in her head but every time he tried to read her thoughts or control her he got static. Then he turned and looked Ave. right in the eyes. He could pick up more thoughts than in Kitty's mind, but still there was static, and a significant amount. Then he returned his attention to Keiy. He locked eyes with the boy and found that he was the easiest to enter and crystal clear to read, but something blocked him from gaining the slightest control. Suddenly something actually shoved Thought out of Keiy's mind. "Interesting... Demi-demon with humans who possess active X-gens." Thought muttered completely beneath his breath. Then to Kitty "You are every bit as interesting as I thought you where. We very may well meet again." Then released his control of the officers and walked away with his sister.
Keiy was glad to be away from the two people that they had just encountered. "Miss Kitty... Can we leave now?" He asked anxious to get back to the safety of the mansion.

Kitty watched still with caution and a bit of curiousity as the siblings walked away. Having lived with telepaths for quite some years, she could feel when someone was trying to read her mind. And just now, that man had tried to. And Kitty still had no idea who those two were. She was pulled out of her thoughts by Keiy's plea.
Shadowcat: Yes. We definitely have to get back ASAP.
Kitty led the group towards the X-jet where the officers were just starting to gain their senses back. Kitty walked past the officers and led the group up the ramp. As she passed through the policemen, she spoke.
Shadowcat: Thank you for all of your help. Everything has settled. Now if you will excuse us, we must be going.
Kitty didn't wait for a response and immediately took the pilot's seat. Shortly after everyone was fastened in, the jet lifted off and started its journey back to the mansion.

Thought and Memory walked only a little farther after the jet left. "Why couldn't I have the one with the tail?" Memory asked her brother. Thought gave a smile at his sister's question. "Its quite simple, dear Memory. We have science to do. Now hold on." Thought said as he messed with his watch. When Memory had locked her arm around Thought's, the short man pressed a button on the watch. There was a rusteling sound as Thought and Memory had a slight visual hallusination of feathers cocconing them before they teleported.
